Chapter 518: 458 The Last Day’s Carnival

"Buzz..."

A snow-white passenger plane soared into the sky, heading into the distance, leaving a white trail against the clear blue firmament.

"Brother-in-law has left, Sister, there’s no need for you to stay at a hotel anymore. Come live with me."

"That would be too inconvenient, I don’t want to intrude on your world for two."

Outside the airport, Li Shuru looked up as the plane receded into the distance, her face wearing a light smile, untinged by sorrow.

"What are you talking about? Hong Zhi has been so busy these past few days he’s hardly touched the ground, I’ve barely seen him at all."

Xue Yali spoke truthfully.

Although her boyfriend had not spelled it out, she understood that his eagerness in this matter likely wasn’t just about lending a hand.

It involved corporations worth hundreds of billions.

Even just a tiny share of the benefits would be enough to shoot one to the heavens.

"Sis, come back and stay with me, it’s no trouble."

Xue Yali continued to urge.

Li Shuru still shook her head.

Even if it was her brother-in-law, she couldn’t possibly live under the same roof with a man.

Although she spoke without restraint, she did not have the boldness to truly dare engage in a foreign romance.

"Forget it, but you can come to the peninsula and keep me company."

Xue Yali thought for a moment, "That works."

"Let’s go."

Li Shuru was not one for sentimentality, and did not linger.

The two women got into the car.

"Sis, why didn’t you go with brother-in-law to France?"

Xue Yali asked while driving.

"You’re getting quite fluent at calling him that."

"Is there something wrong with that?"

Xue Yali turned and smiled.

Li Shuru chuckled.

"He’s off to France on urgent business, what’s the point of me tagging along?"

"Sis, brother-in-law is so outstanding, aren’t you afraid if you don’t keep a close eye on him..."

Xue Yali’s words were heavy with implications.

Being sisters, although their contact had waned due to distance over the years, and their relationship was inevitably not as intimate as in their childhood, their affection had reignited during their recent time together. Discussing sisterly secrets posed no harm.

"What use is worrying? Men are like teens – the more you try to control them, the more rebellious they become."

"Sis, that’s a unique comparison."

Xue Yali found it novel, then sighed with understanding, "But men like your husband are indeed..."

"Sis, do you find it tiring being with brother-in-law?"

Xue Yali unexpectedly shifted the subject and turned to ask.

Her boyfriend, Liu Hongzhi, managing just fifty million in a fund, already put quite the pressure on her, let alone someone used to shorting corporations worth billions.

Taken aback, Li Shuru fell silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Tiring? Not really, but sometimes, I do feel like stabbing him to death."

Xue Yali was momentarily stunned, then chuckled.

To stab him to death.

Such words weren’t a big deal, but coming from her cousin, they somehow seemed endearingly funny.

"Sis, can I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead."

"Was it brother-in-law who pursued you, or did you pursue him?"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Li Shuru’s mouth involuntarily curved upward, she leaned back in her seat, and then gave a classic response.

"Guess."

"Was it you who pursued brother-in-law?"

Li Shuru did not confirm or deny, merely humming.

"It couldn’t have been brother-in-law who pursued you, right?"

Xue Yali pretended to be surprised.

"Is it so surprising? When he was chasing after me, I didn’t even spare him a glance."

Li Shuru said "coolly."

However, this wasn’t just big talk in front of her sister; it was the absolute truth.

Xue Yali "tsked" twice.

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask him when he gets back and see if I’m lying."

"Sis, I believe you. You’re not only beautiful but also have such a good figure. If I were a man, I’d definitely pursue you too."

Xue Yali’s gaze swiftly scanned her.

"Asking for a beating."

Li Shuru laughed.

"I’m telling the truth. Sis, can you tell me about how you two got together?"

Meanwhile.

On the plane.

"Mr. Jiang, the stock of K.E Group has already broken through the 200 euro barrier, exceeding its highest historical value since listing."

Jiang Chen’s expression remained calm, "What moves are the shareholders of K.E Group making?"

"A portion of K.E’s shareholders chose to sell off for cash-outs, and once those stocks entered the market, they were immediately increased by retail investors following the trend."

Having once been part of the "retail investors," Bai Haoran had mixed feelings when he said this.

At this very moment, he probably understood why he always lost money in the past.

It is impossible for gamblers to outplay the dealer.

The stock god Buffett has a famous saying: "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."

This saying is widely known; stock investors especially cannot be unaware of it, but only now did he truly grasp its meaning.

The soaring stock price of K.E led some large shareholders to cash out at high positions. If it had been the old him, he would’ve definitely, like the stock investors now blinded by the stock market, excitedly bought into K.E’s stocks, expecting them to keep rising.

But in reality, this was the last hurrah before the end of days.

Bai Haoran looked toward the calm and composed young man beside him.

Such is the power to turn the tide!

Who knows how many investors will become collateral damage in this upcoming storm, losing everything they own.

But in the stock market, there are no accidents without cause.

Those who wish to gain without working for it must bear the risks.

"How many K.E stocks are currently in circulation on the market?"

"Less than a million shares."

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed contemplation.

"Mr. Jiang, I think the time has come."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"It’s still too early."

Scarcity is what makes something valuable.

It’s true for currency.

And it’s true for stocks as well.

Liu Yiming had already persuaded some domestic bigwigs to enter the game, and together with Jiang Chen, they planned a coordinated short-sell, K.E’s stock price would skyrocket due to the rapid decrease in circulating shares.

Bai Haoran felt that this was the perfect moment to open the floodgates, slowly selling off the stocks in hand to maximize profits.

"Mr. Jiang, I think if we drag on, it might backfire. If the stock investors come to their senses and no one else is willing to buy, then..."

"You don’t have to worry about that."

Jiang Chen said, "Our current task is to make those K.E shareholders sell more of their stocks."

Bai Haoran couldn’t understand.

After all, if they wanted to short K.E, the more stocks the shareholders of K.E held, the bigger their losses would be.

Why now it seemed they wanted...

Bai Haoran couldn’t figure it out.

And so, he found Jiang Chen even more unfathomable.

"Are you sure that Joe Bankton is pro-China?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"I’m certain. I’ve looked into some of his past statements – he’s repeatedly shown a friendly attitude towards the East in public events and media appearances, and his maternal grandmother is Chinese."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Take a rest. Our upcoming mission in France is quite tough."

Having said that, Jiang Chen put on his eye mask.

But how could Bai Haoran sleep?

Looking out the window at the bright sun and white clouds, he felt as if an invisible storm was brewing.

And a fashion empire was about to crumble in this disaster.

And he was going to be one of the orchestrators.
