Uncle: "..."
A man's intuition... Damn it, a man's intuition.
This is even less reliable!
Compared to a man's intuition, he felt that the reason of reincarnation was more credible.
After Lin Xuan left, Uncle returned to his seat.
His mind was filled with thoughts of Lin Xuan buying Fenghui Group's stocks.
Even for wealthy people, three billion wasn't a small amount. He bought the stocks without hesitation—did he really have insider information?
Uncle rubbed his bald head.
To buy or not to buy?
He slapped his head and couldn't help but sell all his Xingji Real Estate stocks, then invested everything into Fenghui Group's stocks.
Damn it!
He was going all in!
Take the risk, and a villa by the sea might be his. If he lost, well, he'd see you on the rooftop!
Su Hua was sitting in her office, listening to a high-level executive's report when her phone buzzed with a notification.
She casually picked it up and glanced at the message.
It was a notification about a deduction from the black card she had given Lin Xuan.
A total of three billion had been spent.
Su Hua couldn't help but smile.
"Su, is there something good happening?" Jiang Qing asked curiously.
"Yes," Su Hua replied with a slight smile. "Lin Xuan spent my money—three billion."
The executives around her: "..."
Su was truly Su.
Even her boyfriend spending her money made her happy.
Speaking of which, why hadn't he met a girlfriend like that? His teeth weren't great either—he wanted to live off someone's wealth!
At the stock exchange.
Uncle sat in front of his computer, watching the stock price of Fenghui Group drop by five points in just fifteen minutes. He felt like he wanted to die.
He had invested all his remaining money into it.
If it kept falling, he was done for.
He shouldn't have trusted that so-called man's intuition. It was a damn trap!
"Damn it! Fenghui Group is about to soar! They just secured a five-billion investment, and the key technology they brought solved Fenghui Group's fatal problem. Fenghui Group is about to make a comeback!"
"Ugh, I just sold all my Fenghui Group stocks. I regret it so much. Judging by the news, the stock is going to multiply several times over."
Uncle, who had been sitting lifelessly in his chair, suddenly jumped up upon hearing the discussions around him.
Did they just say... Fenghui Group?
Uncle quickly opened Fenghui Group's stock page.
It was rising!
It was really rising!
A huge surge—straight up by 20 points, hitting the limit! Ahhh!!
Uncle remembered what Lin Xuan had said about Xingji Real Estate's stocks plummeting. He checked that stock, and sure enough, it had dropped—hitting the lower limit!
"Damn it!"
Uncle's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Was a man's intuition really this accurate?
Meanwhile, at the Lin Family's home, Lin Li hadn't returned all night, and the entire Lin Family was in a frenzy searching for him.
Lin Chang also saw the news about Fenghui Group's stock surge.
He immediately called Wang Yajun.
"Yajun, keep all the Fenghui Group stocks I bought. Don't sell them anytime soon!" Lin Chang ordered.
He wanted to hold onto those stocks. With Fenghui Group's momentum, their stock was bound to skyrocket.
He might even recover all the money he had lost before!
"But," Wang Yajun bit her lip, "those stocks were already sold."
"What? Sold?" Lin Chang's eyes widened. "When?"
"About fifty minutes before the surge," Wang Yajun replied.
Lin Chang felt like he was about to spit blood.
Why did that person have to buy the stocks at that exact moment?
When he saw the news about Fenghui Group, he thought he was about to break even, but it turned out to be a false hope.
He had lost a total of two billion on that stock!
Who the hell bought it?
At that moment, Lin Xuan sent him a message—a record of the stock transaction, clearly showing that Lin Xuan had bought three billion worth of Fenghui Group stocks.
It was Lin Xuan!
Lin Chang nearly crushed his phone in his hand.
"That ungrateful son! That ungrateful son!" Lin Chang sat in his chair, gasping for breath.
Lin Xuan was truly born to oppose him!
Jiang Qing also reported to Su Hua.
"Su, we didn't even intervene, and Fenghui Group's stock hit the limit."
When Lin Xuan traded the stocks, a notification had been sent to Su Hua's phone.
Su Hua had been worried that the stock might plummet, making Lin Xuan unhappy.
She had planned to inject a large sum of money into Fenghui Group to revive Fenghui Group.
But before Jiang Qing could act, the stock had already hit the limit.
"Lin Xuan is truly impressive," Su Hua said with a proud smile.
Jiang Qing was also amazed.
This time, Young Master Lin was going to make a huge profit.
What boldness!
Over the next few days, Fenghui Group's stock hit the limit as soon as the market opened.
Every time Lin Chang saw the news about Fenghui Group, he felt a surge of irritation.
Even if he didn't check the stock market, he would hear occasional discussions among the executives and employees.
"Wang Li, did you know? A few days ago, when I checked the stocks, I noticed that someone sold a billion worth of Fenghui Group stocks just an hour before the surge. I wonder if they're spitting blood now?"
Hearing this, Lin Chang: "..."
Apart from the stock market troubles, Lin Li's disappearance had the Lin Family running around like ants on a hot pan, frantic with worry.
They were searching everywhere for Lin Li.
Jiang Shuqin even prayed to the gods, begging for Lin Li's safety.
Meanwhile, in a basement.
Lin Li had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. In just three days, he had lost eleven pounds.
His face was covered in stubble, his eyes bloodshot, his body covered in bloodstains, and his clothes torn to shreds by the ropes.
There wasn't a single spot on his body that was intact.
Over the past few days, Lin Li had been driven to the brink of madness.
He only slept for two hours a day, and the rest of the time, he was being tortured.
Cold water cells, snake pits, a place with millions of red ants, whippings...
They used every method imaginable.
Every time he passed out from the pain, they would wake him up with ice-cold water, forcing him to endure the agony with full consciousness.
"Slash—slash—"
After Wang Hao whipped Lin Li with a rope again, Lin Li was barely clinging to life.
Wang Hao threw the rope aside.
"Take him down," he ordered.
"Yes."
The subordinates took Lin Li down from the rack and forced him to kneel on the ground.
"What else do you want to do?" Lin Li asked with all the strength he had left.
Wang Hao smiled kindly. "Young Master Lin, don't worry. We'll let you go soon. As I said, I have no interest in taking your life."
Lin Li was stunned.
Were they really going to let him go?
"However, before we release you, I need you to drink this," Wang Hao said, still smiling.
A terrible premonition rose in Lin Li's heart.
This was definitely not something good!
"What is it?" Lin Li asked with difficulty.
"That's a great question," Wang Hao replied with a smile. "This is called 'Root-Severing Water.' Or, more commonly known as 'Sterilization Potion'—the eunuch's potion."
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
