527: Chapter 527: Deadly Easter Egg!

Financial Storm!

The night was deep.

Yuan Shikui lay on the hospital bed, his heart being torn apart, his liver and gallbladder on the verge of splitting.

It was infuriating!

He had made a fool of himself, a laughingstock to the world, which seemed to please everyone immensely.

Yet, it brought Wu Jie a huge surge in popularity and traffic, making the software even more explosively popular.

And what was more infuriating…

This guy was like a rock in a dung pit, stinky and hard.

Offering a hefty reward…

He refused!

Threats and intimidation…

He wasn’t afraid!

Backed by Tianyuan and the Tang Family, he acted as if he was above the law.

Those of lower status and power couldn’t threaten Wu Jie; instead, they were scolded by him!

Those of high status and power either stayed out of it or didn’t dare to interfere!

As a result, the video and the post spread like a viral storm.

The views and downloads had both broken the hundred-million mark.

No despair greater than a dead heart!

Yuan Shikui knew that it no longer mattered whether the video was deleted.

That damned Wu Jie, a super lowlife, had provided downloads for free.

With over a hundred million downloads, how could he possibly get netizens to delete them?

Just like illegal adult films, why then do many people have them saved on their hard drives!

In short!

Countless people already knew that Yuan Shikui had received his comeuppance, dug too many pits for others and ended up brutally beaten.

A listed company CEO and billionaire magnate ended up with such a tragic fate.

And within that post, there was still a mysterious and unknown Easter egg.

The poster claimed it would be a huge surprise for Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co.

This damn thing would be a shock, not a surprise!

“I’m so angry!

I’m so angry!!”

Yuan Shikui lay on the hospital bed.

He already suffered from angina and bone pain and had been brutally beaten by Xu Anyong and his men in the morning, adding new injuries.

Now, he suffered multiple fractures, soft tissue contusions, a damaged spleen, a dislocated nasal bridge, and a concussion…

At best, he’d need to rest for three to five months.

After all, injuries to the tendons and bones heal in a hundred days!

As for his incurable angina and bone pain, there was even less hope for a cure.

Therefore.

Even with painkillers and sleeping pills, he couldn’t sleep at all.

Both legs were in casts, and he wore a neck brace, unable to twist into a side position to sleep, let alone sleep on his stomach.

Wracked by illness, it was even more painful than being in prison.

“What could the Easter egg be?

That damn Wu Jie, what else does he plan to stir up?”

Yuan Shikui couldn’t begin to guess or understand.

He always felt Wu Jie had another scheme up his sleeve.

Previously, news came from Yincheng and the Muto Conglomerate that a martial artist had secretly been sent to take action in Tianyuan.

But Wu Jie had not taken the bait, and perhaps it was this that had stirred him into such madness.

Otherwise!

According to Yuan Shikui’s understanding of Wu Jie, he surely would have preferred to keep the video for extortion, which would have been much better.

After all, that lowlife was known in Tianyuan for his greed.

Suddenly!

There was uproar outside the door again.

The Yincheng Muto Conglomerate, a deeply rooted and longstanding big organization, had remarkable martial artists that were extremely impressive.

They could beat Xu Family’s bodyguards into a complete rout, which was the only bit of good news for Yuan Shikui in a time of great distress and chaos.

But…

This time, the brawl felt off!

The Xu Family from Liuli City seemed to have brought in more reinforcements, and my side didn’t just have three martial artists; it seemed we also had support.

The insane clash didn’t last long.

After all, this was a hospital, and the police arrived quickly, soon putting an end to the fight.

After a long wait, only one martial artist came in to report to Yuan Shikui.

With large numbers joining both sides, the battle ended with no clear winner, and the police only allowed each side to keep one person to stay by the bedside.

A typical case of “both sides lose”!

Yuan Shikui waved his hand dismissively, not caring about that.

The scene of Xu Anyong stepping on him and using his hair to wipe his shoes filled Yuan Shikui with rage.

So, he had already arranged for Muto Conglomerate in Yincheng to send a few more martial artists in secret the next day.

He wanted to not only take out Wu Jie but to not spare Xu Anyong either.

…

The night was long.

That damned Wu Jie was probably cuddling up with the beautiful CEO Tang Xiao, sound asleep.

And me?

Damn it!

Hurting all over!

Every single part of my body was in pain!

I couldn’t sleep at all, and just when I managed to stay awake till I was sleepy,

I was woken up yet again by the medical staff, for injections, to take my temperature, to change my IV drip…

Annoying!

Yuan Shikui even suspected that they did it on purpose, just to keep him from sleeping all night, increasing his mental pressure so he might just go insane from the torture.

He thought about transferring to another hospital, but was that possible?

Never mind the hassle of the procedures, just leaving the hospital, no matter where I went, would be fraught with danger!

Who knows, maybe the car would suddenly explode, get into an accident, or someone would take a shot at me…

It was better to stay next to the father and son, Xu Kuishan and Xu Anyong.

Despite the fights and noise, at least my life wasn’t in danger.

But…

The good times didn’t last.

Daybreak came.

Yuan Shikui could barely keep his eyes open, finally about to fall asleep.

Damn it!

As soon as the medical staff came in, they turned on the TV.

And damn it, it was the morning news.

Me, battered beyond recognition, yet applauded by millions of internet users.

Such a hot topic, of course, had made it onto the news.

But after watching for a while, Yuan Shikui was almost ready to explode with anger.

“…Regarding this incident, the authorities are conducting an investigation, and some legal experts suggest that posting the video without Yuan Shikui’s consent constitutes an invasion of his right of likeness.

Yuan Shikui himself can pursue legal rights through an attorney and have the uploader remove the video!”

The words of the news anchor were simply nonsense.

Yuan Shikui roared in fury.

The numerous powers behind him not only dispatched lawyers but also tried all sorts of intimidation and threats.

Wu Jie was blatantly defiant, refusing to delete the video and even had the audacity to challenge them to sue him if they dared.

Those so-called experts had no clue what a lowlife Wu Jie was!

If ordinary measures worked, the video would have been deleted long ago!

And following this infuriating news came the financial report.

As expected.

Financial experts commented on the situation of Tianyuan He Ying Credit Co.

They believed that Yuan Shikui getting beaten up would inevitably affect the company’s stock price trend, and might even lead to the company’s investors panic withdrawing, wanting to transfer their money away.

For Yuan Shikui, money was his life!

The plummeting stock prices hurt even more than a stab to the heart!

A disruption in the cash flow was even more lethal!

However…

Misfortunes never come singly!

Right after he finished watching the news, Yuan Shikui received a call from the company.

Many people had already initiated a ‘revenge’ campaign last night.

They called on everyone who had deposited money in the Tianyuan He Ying Credit App to withdraw their funds.

Overnight.

Many users had drained the company’s cash reserves.

What was more terrifying was…

Because the cash reserves were exhausted, the app automatically indicated ‘unable to withdraw in real-time’ and suggested ‘scheduled withdrawal’.

What was a normal prompt, was taken by many as a sign that Tianyuan He Ying Credit was out of money to make payments.

Now, those who were stirring the pot, being pessimistic, criticizing, and ranting became even more unbridled.

And so!

Panic set in!

Suddenly, a vast number of users submitted withdrawal requests.

Some a few thousand, others tens of thousands!

The number of people increased continuously, and the total amount of withdrawals kept rising.

It was quickly approaching the critical point of fifty billion and racing towards a hundred billion.

And the company’s cash reserves had been used up last night.

What to do now?

Surely not, going so far as to urge those with loans to repay them early?

This seemed to not only break the loan contract but was more likely to incite panic!

Perhaps if the panic continued to spread, all users of the Tianyuan He Ying Credit App would want to take their money out.

And to prevent over ten million users from withdrawing funds was a scenario with no end in sight.

By that time, frenzied citizens might storm the various branch offices, staging sit-ins and demonstrations.

After all, for many middle-aged and elderly users, this money was hard-earned, life savings, retirement funds.

Not letting them withdraw was like taking their lives away, wasn’t it?

Crazy!

He was damn well going insane!

Yuan Shikui broke out in a cold sweat out of fear.

Decisively, he ordered someone to contact the partner banks to liquidate assets as quickly as possible.

Short-term deposits, bonds, and the like were to be sold at once, with the proceeds used for payment.

Give priority to older users; if any of them fell ill or became aggravated due to the stress, the trouble would be significant.

In addition, quickly issue a public statement clarifying that the company’s operations were not affected and that the cash reserves were sufficient.

Assure the users not to panic and withdraw money, and reassure those with loans that they will not be forced to repay early.

Also, send a legal notice to Star Cloud Internet Technology.

Demand that they delete the video, issue a formal apology to Yuan Shikui personally, and make a substantial compensation, or face a lawsuit.

However…

Countless users wanted to save their hard-earned, life-saving, and dowry money…

Everyone was frantically demanding withdrawals, and the demand for funds kept growing.

All sorts of comments appeared online.

Variations of ‘Tianyuan Certain Win app,” Yuan someone’s company’ are done for, have no money to withdraw, going bankrupt…

All sorts of veiled rumors and slanders emerged endlessly.

Obviously.

Wu Jie’s head-on clash with Tianyuan He Ying Credit emboldened countless netizens to throw caution to the wind.

After years of hard work building up the company, Yuan Shikui could not let it collapse easily.

So.

He immediately activated the company’s emergency plan and scrambled to raise cash.

Selling off both his own and others’ stocks in a frenzy to liquidate them!

He notified all shareholders behind the company to gather cash on hand to deal with this widespread withdrawal crisis.

Yuan Shikui even emptied his personal accounts to provide a large amount of funds to meet the users’ withdrawal demands.

This crisis management was performed beautifully, everything went smoothly.

Several billion, tens of billions…

a vast amount of capital was mobilized, and user enthusiasm for withdrawals was suppressed.

Yuan Shikui wanted to show the whole world he would not collapse!

With powerful backing forces, what did he have to fear?

But…

Those who benefited were not inclined to speak the truth.

Many had already noticed their accounts had more money than before but kept quiet, instead insisting on withdrawing funds.

Those with a few thousand had several hundred more, those with a few tens of thousands had one or two thousand more…

Those with loans also discovered that their approaching due loans were extended and the amounts reduced.

Originally needing to repay a hundred thousand, now only ninety thousand; several hundred thousand owing less by tens of thousands…

Worse still, those who owed a few hundred or thousand were let off the hook completely.

Wow!

What’s going on here?

Could it be investment benefits given by Tianyuan He Ying Credit?

Anyway, those opportunistic people weren’t going to spout nonsense.

But in a large forest, there is an assortment of birds.

Among over ten million people, naturally, some had an ‘over-developed’ sense of justice.

They took the initiative to blow the whistle that the amount of money in their accounts increased, and the repayment terms and amount of their loans changed.

But upon self-examination by the company, the system appeared to have no issues!

The data was completely accurate!

And at this point…

Yuan Shikui had already processed withdrawals of over four hundred billion for millions of users.

What to do?

If the system showed no problem, but user whistleblowing was convincing and didn’t seem fabricated,

Giving each person a call, asking them to return all the extra money paid out, wasn’t an option, was it?

The money had already entered other people’s pockets; how could it be recovered?

Through lawsuits?

Sue these millions of people?

And the trouble was, with more money paid to investment users and less taken from the borrowers,

This increase and decrease meant the company might lose tens of billions!

And the most horrifying thing was…

The company’s self-audited system showed the account balances as correct.

But when a manual audit was conducted, paper documents and historical archive data did not match up, and bad news was quickly delivered.

The company’s financial system had been maliciously tampered with, causing users to profit massively while the company suffered huge losses.

Damage…

incalculable!

Upon hearing this news!

Yuan Shikui, who hadn’t slept well all night, passed out from rage.

Just before lapsing into unconsciousness, he finally realized.

The ‘Easter egg’ Wu Jie had given was indeed no surprise.

But a very terrifying, fatal financial storm…
