Chapter 510: 453 huge lies

"Can he really come up with that much money?"

As they walked out of the Peninsula Hotel, Liu Hongzhi finally couldn’t restrain himself and asked his girlfriend quietly.

Xue Yali shook her head, "I’ve met him about as many times as you have."

"Do you think he’s joking with us?" Hongzhi inquired further.

Ya Li responded vaguely, "Who would joke about something this big."

"True," Hongzhi nodded, let out a deep breath, and lifted his glasses with a finger.

"Then your sister really found a golden bachelor. If he’s serious, it means his assets may well rival those of K.E. Group. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such confidence."

Xue Yali’s pupils dilated involuntarily, "Are you saying he’s worth a few hundred billion?"

"A person like that shouldn’t be unknown; who on earth is he?" Liu Hongzhi couldn’t help but be suspicious, or rather, curious.

Assets worth hundreds of billions, no matter which country or region, would definitely rank someone as a top figure.

You know,

The Forbes top 100 richest people are only worth just over a hundred billion.

Of course,

those ranking lists are just for the public to see. Those who prefer to keep a low profile and not expose themselves to the public eye are the real big players.

Liu Hongzhi, who works on Wall Street, understood this all too well.

Although he hadn’t spent much time in China, because he was abroad, he wasn’t limited by domestic information channels.

He was well aware that there were many hidden billionaires in China with wealth beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

Could it be that his girlfriend’s cousin had met one?

Or rather,

a family?

"My sister rarely talks about him. But that popular virtual love game that’s been trendy in China recently seems to be his investment. Plus, he also gave my sister a villa in Spring and Autumn Plaza worth two billion."

Xue Yali stated plainly.

"Then it must be no jest," Liu Hongzhi murmured to himself with a sudden, inexplicable, and uncontrollable excitement, "Maybe this is an opportunity for us too."

"What?"

Ya Li looked puzzled.

The hotel brought their car over.

Hongzhi didn’t say much, just asserted firmly, "Get in the car."

After Xue Yali and Liu Hongzhi left, Jiang Chen and his friends also went back to their rooms.

Three people, two rooms.

Without pursuing the ultimate luxury, both rooms were of average quality in the Peninsula Hotel.

"Are you really going to short K.E.’s stocks?"

Once inside and away from strangers, Li Shuru could no longer hold back her question.

With her sister’s explanation, she had gained some understanding of the stock market. Furthermore, sensitivity to money was an instinct that didn’t require learning.

Tens of billions of euros at stake.

She knew Jiang Chen was wealthy, but she hadn’t expected him to be wealthy to this extent.

"This is New York, the Peninsula Hotel, next door to Wall Street. To lie in such a place would be an international joke."

"Why?"

Beyond shock, Li Shuru also felt a strong sense of incomprehension.

Jiang Chen’s targeting of K.E. Group seemed too blatant.

"The reason is simple,"

Jiang Chen said as he pulled her to sit down.

"The brand has repeatedly made offensive statements about China, and I just want to give our Chinese people a way to vent."

Li Shuru silently watched him.

"Alright,"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Actually, there’s another reason," Jiang Chen mentioned.

"What reason?"

"It’s what your sister just talked about."

"My sister?"

Li Shuru frowned slightly, "What did my sister say?"

"Pei Yunxi was humiliated at K.E’s fashion show not too long ago."

Jiang Chen reminded her.

Li Shuru recalled the incident, her frown deepening.

What did these two matters have to do with each other?

Jiang Chen cleared up her confusion.

"I’m Pei Yunxi’s boss."

Li Shuru was stunned, her almond-shaped eyes widening in surprise.

"Yes, in fact, not long after I recruited Pei Yunxi as our game’s spokesperson, I signed her on. I also own an entertainment company, which I have been saying I co-founded with Shi Qianxi. That company is the one Shi Qianxi and I created together. Pei Yunxi is our contracted artist," Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

Li Shuru’s expression became frozen, and she didn’t speak.

"K.E’s targeting of Pei Yunxi this time is not just a personal attack, but also stems from extreme prejudice and arrogance. Whether as a Shenzhou person or as Pei Yunxi’s boss, I cannot ignore it," Jiang Chen said evenly.

He hadn’t mentioned it at the time because he was worried it would be too much of a shock. Now, however, it was time to reveal things slowly.

"...How many more secrets are you keeping from me?" Li Shuru murmured.

At first, Jiang Chen seemed to her nothing more than a destitute poor boy, then he grew to match Sun Xiyu, and eventually even surpassed Sun Xiyu.

But now, to say nothing of Sun Xiyu, it seemed that perhaps the entire Sun Family could hardly be mentioned in the same breath as him.

"No more," he said.

"I need to rest for a while."

Even after so much time had passed and he believed she had gradually accepted his "unfathomable" persona, Jiang Chen still underestimated the impact of this information.

Li Shuru stood up and went into the bedroom.

Jiang Chen did not follow. He leaned back on the sofa, lost in thought.

Li Shuru had feelings for him.

After all, it was only after her fondness rating broke through ninety that the mission had ended.

Of course.

He felt the same way.

After Shi Qianxi had caused chaos and leaked photos, he had been worried about whether this girl would choose to leave him, so he had taken her with him on this trip abroad, offering compensation. His honesty now was also for this reason.

Seeing that she hadn’t left after those photos, she certainly wouldn’t leave now, because it’s unlikely that any woman would break up with you just because you’re too rich.

Situations like that might occur in melodramatic TV shows.

But they would never happen in reality.

So Li Shuru would surely be able to accept it.

But.

What about others?

Jiang Chen’s gaze drifted unfocused, his eyes flitting lightly.

Fortune comes with risks.

Short-selling K.E could bring him massive returns, but also, unavoidably, bring risks.

If you suddenly had five more dollars, buying two bottles of soda, nobody would care; five hundred more, buying a pair of shoes, nobody would pay attention; five thousand more, buying a new phone, friends might just ask out of curiosity; fifty thousand more, even your family would take notice; but fifty thousand more, and it gets hard to explain; five million more, and you probably need to go find someone who won a lottery to exchange tickets for money, even if it means paying more tax...

This is why money laundering is necessary.

His previous deceptive practices were no longer suitable here, involving hundreds of billions of funds, anyone would question and be curious about their origin.

Jiang Chen slowly exhaled, pondering for a while, then picked up his phone and made a call.

"Director Fei, it’s me, I’m currently in New York. Yes, I need your help, find me a few people."

Since he couldn’t possibly explain the origin of his wealth,

he needed to concoct an enormous lie,

one that would set the whole world dancing.
