When the sky turned bright, the US Nasdaq stock market finally closed.
Under extremely difficult circumstances, Yu Lei International finally stabilized the situation due to the unremitting efforts of the Athena team, and did not lose everything.
Everyone knew that when the stock market opened the next day, Yu Lei would face an even fiercer round of attacks. If Yu Lei couldn't come up with enough funds to fight, then the collapse of Yu Lei's defense system would be just a few steps away.
This financial war without gunpowder had just begun.
Inside a presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Zhonghai, through the wide and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the rising sun amidst the fog.
The disdainful rays of the sun warmly shrouded the bustling city.
A spirited, white-haired old man in white silk pajamas stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. He seemed to have finished a set of exercises.
The old man turned around, walked to a glass table, and sat down. On the table was a large plate of fresh fruits, a cup of steaming hot milk, and a few slices of garlic bread.
Before the old man could pick up the bread, someone reported from outside the suite, "Master, Mr. Gao is here."
The old man frowned, as if unhappy that someone had interrupted his breakfast, but he still said, "Let him in."
The door was opened, and a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the room. He had a flattering smile on his face as he bowed to the old man and said, "Guoxiong really shouldn't have disturbed Uncle Mao's meal. I'll definitely come later tomorrow."
The old man called Uncle Mao put down the bread and put his hands on the chair. He looked at Gao Guoxiong with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "Seems like there's some good news."
Gao Guoxiong's eyes flashed with raging flames. "That's right. The stock market just closed, and the Southeast Asian team we hired took the initiative. Now Yu Lei has lost at least three billion. "
"Catching Yu Lei off guard, this little achievement is nothing?" The old man seemed to be talking to himself. "The key is still in the next two days. In terms of funds, with the Singaporean and Malaysian businessmen you've allied with, you'll definitely be able to beat Yu Lei. Plus, I've already pressured Yu Lei to get a loan from the bank … As long as nothing goes wrong, it's only a matter of time before Lin Ruoxi admits defeat. "
"Elder Mao's remarkable abilities are the key. Otherwise, I, Gao Guoxiong, would have been trapped in jail by that b * tch, Lin Ruoxi. Also, even if I manage to raise enough funds, it'll be hard for me to go against Yu Lei's golden brand. "Gao Guoxiong's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness as he said," Don't worry, Elder Mao. Right now, even if Lin Ruoxi has any business tricks up her sleeves, she doesn't have enough funds to back up her capital, so there's nothing she can do. In addition, we don't only have plans for the stock market. We haven't used our other trump cards yet. Once the bomb we buried in Yu Lei explodes, Lin Ruoxi probably won't be able to withstand it. "
"You … have a belly full of evil tricks." Elder Mao snorted and sneered. He raised his eyebrows at the stack of photocopied documents on the table not far away and sighed. "I didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to have such a background. You're quite capable to have thought of that information. This might not be of much use on a normal day. But this hurdle can give her a fatal blow. "
Gao Guoxiong's lips curled into a sinister smile. In his heart, he thought, Lin Ruoxi, I'll make you pay for the humiliation you gave me back then with unbearable pain …
At that moment, the bodyguard outside the door reported, "Master, Young Master Ning Guodong of the Ning family wants to see you."
"Ning Guodong?" Elder Mao's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. "Let him in."
Ning Guodong, who was dressed in a fashionable Versace suit, looked kind and handsome. He strolled into the room but didn't look at Gao Guoxiong at all, as if he didn't want to waste his gaze.
"Master Mao, you're really unexpected. You suddenly came to Zhonghai from Beijing and even caused such a huge commotion behind the scenes," Ning Guodong said with a sinister smile.
The old man tapped his fingers on the chair. "I'm very curious about the kid from the Ning family. Premier Ning didn't say anything, but you found out about the problem so early. What's going on?"
"It's simple." Ning Guodong picked up a small banana from the round table and peeled it on his own. He said, "Recently, I've been interested in Yu Lei International's Lin Ruoxi. So I've been paying attention to everything around her. Last night, when the American stock market war broke out, I sent people to investigate the situation. This morning, someone reported to me that Master Mao was the one behind it … Oh, and a bunch of unruly people.
"After that, I investigated the reason behind your actions. Only then did I realize that Lin Ruoxi actually has such a grudge against your family. Master Mao, no matter what, you're still an elder. You shouldn't bully a weak girl like this. "
"Stop with your flowery words. You're really different from your father." Master Mao shook his head and said, "Tell me why you're here."
Ning Guodong took a bite of the banana and laughed. "Actually, it's nothing much. This matter isn't big, but it's not small either. "The reason why Yu Lei is being suppressed now is because they lack political backing. The banks are pressured by Master Mao and don't dare to lend to Yu Lei. "But … Master Mao, you should know very well that in comparison … the Ning family is still more influential."
A glint flashed across the old man's eyes. "So?"
"To me, it doesn't matter whose hands Yu Lei ends up in, or if it's destroyed." Ning Guodong paced a few steps and continued, "Right now, I only want a woman to be the future young madam of the Ning family. "So, I can't let anything happen to Lin Ruoxi, but I also want her to submit to me."
Master Mao pondered for a moment, then signaled Gao Guoxiong with his eyes.
Gao Guoxiong didn't suspect anything. He obediently walked to the side and handed the photocopied document to Ning Guodong.
Ning Guodong took it and casually scanned through it. At first, he revealed some doubts, then he was stunned.
Master Mao narrowed his eyes and said, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have come all the way from Beijing to Zhonghai. "It's because of this that I'm certain that I can win, so I came directly to Zhonghai to receive the fruits of my victory. "However, since you care so much about that little girl, I'll put this in your hands. "When the time comes, you'll be in charge of her life and death."
Ning Guodong's hands trembled slightly as he rolled up the document.
…
In the old city area of Zhonghai's western district, there was a row of seemingly old villas beside a quiet little river.
Outside the villas were fancy nineteenth-century Western iron fences, carved with all kinds of flower patterns. On the other side of the iron fences were all kinds of shrubs, some of which even had small red flowers. Further inside was a lawn that had just turned green, as well as some trees and flowers.
In the courtyard of one of the villas near the corner of the river, Guo Xuehua, who had just moved here for a night, woke up early in the morning. She went to the courtyard to get a pair of scissors to trim the tree branches.
Although the inside of the villa was cleaned, the plants outside weren't really trimmed. While Mother Wang and Zhenxiu were in the kitchen making breakfast, Guo Xuehua took the opportunity to go out and do some work.
When she walked to the path adjacent to the villa next door, Guo Xuehua saw a young woman in the neighboring courtyard. She was bending down and watering a few pots of flowers.
The woman looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her long wavy hair reflected a faint glow under the early morning sun. Her graceful and plump figure could be vaguely seen under the loose cotton home jacket.
Guo Xuehua looked at the young woman in the morning light. She could feel the faint and lazy aura of the young woman, and she couldn't help but stare at her for a while.
At this time, the woman seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She raised her head and looked at Guo Xuehua.
It was a tranquil and elegant face without any makeup. It was graceful and charming, just like the mountains in the distance and the lake in the mist.
What a beautiful girl. Guo Xuehua silently praised in her heart. She showed a kind smile and said, "Hello."
The woman seemed to be slightly surprised, but she still bowed politely and said, "Hello."
"We just moved here. We'll be neighbors from now on," Guo Xuehua said with a smile.
The woman came to a realization and said straightforwardly, "Actually, I just moved here not long ago. This is my hometown, but I haven't lived here for many years. I found a partner recently, so I moved back."
"Is that so? It seems like we're fated." Guo Xuehua smiled. The more she looked at the woman in front of her, the more she liked her. For some reason, Guo Xuehua thought of her cold daughter-in-law. If her son, Yang Cheng, married this woman in front of her, she would probably have grandchildren a long time ago. She was so cultured, reasonable, generous and sincere. Although she was slightly inferior to Lin Ruoxi in terms of appearance, she was still a first-class beauty. At least she wouldn't make people feel distant.
But then, Guo Xuehua thought in a self-deprecating manner, who her son married, was that something a mother like her, who had no say in the matter, could control?
At this moment, outside the iron gate of Guo Xuehua's villa, a small motorcycle stopped. A skinny middle-aged man wearing a large green coat took out a stack of letters from a canvas bag and shouted outside the door, "There's a letter. Come out and receive it."
At this time, there was no one on the road outside. It was clear and the postman's shout was very clear.
Guo Xuehua took a look and frowned. She muttered, "Can't he just put it in the mailbox? This person is really too much." But she still put down the scissors and walked towards the iron gate.
On the other side of the courtyard, the woman glanced at the postman. Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed and a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes.
After a short while, Guo Xuehua walked to the side of the iron door and removed the big lock. The old-fashioned iron door was pushed aside by a horizontal bar, and it was easily opened.
"Why are there so many letters? We just moved in not long ago." Guo Xuehua looked at the thick stack of things in the postman's hands and asked doubtfully.
The postman lowered his head and didn't say a word. He only took two steps and approached Guo Xuehua. Then, he suddenly pounced!
A white handkerchief covered the "postman's" hand, and he covered Guo Xuehua's nose and mouth with it!
Guo Xuehua's beautiful face turned pale. She instinctively wanted to dodge, but her speed couldn't keep up with the man's speed!
"Bam!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, and the man who was pouncing towards Guo Xuehua was sent flying by a strong force, slamming into the door. His head felt dizzy, and he immediately lost consciousness.
"Auntie, are you alright?"
It was unknown when the woman had appeared beside Guo Xuehua, but she had sent the man flying with a kick!
Guo Xuehua almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but the woman caught her and held her up. After a long while, she turned around and looked at the woman with a panicked expression.
"Auntie, he fainted. He's fine now," the woman said with a gentle smile.
Guo Xuehua let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at the fake postman on the ground with a complicated gaze. She was puzzled. Why would someone suddenly think of her? But then she thought about how she had survived because of the magical performance of the girl she had met for the first time. She couldn't help but feel touched. She patted the back of the woman's delicate hand and asked, "Thank you, miss. I haven't asked, what's your name?"
"Qiangwei." Qiangwei smiled like a flower.
