Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Brother, I Really Don't Want to Make Money
France, Le Libération.
As a modern media outlet, Le Libération had begun developing its online business long ago, and had already surpassed 20 million followers on social media.
Today, they published a news article that had surpassed millions of views in just one hour.
The content of the article was a public denunciation of tax evasion by Fars Company.
The report detailed Fars's financial situation over the past seven years.
After learning about Fars's actions, French internet users were furious.
"Is the French government eating shit? Can't they detect these things?"
"They were busy dividing the spoils, damn bastards."
"They should be fined, they should be fined to death!"
After receiving the news, the relevant departments immediately sent personnel to Fars Company.
They detained the senior executives to start an investigation and froze all funds in their accounts.
The next day, the investigation results were revealed.
Fars Company was involved in serious tax evasion and would face exorbitant fines.
The three hundred billion that Huajin Company had transferred were not enough to cover this hole.
After the Fars scandal, the first company, as the largest shareholder, Huajin, also suffered significant losses.
It was revealed that they had embezzled funds illegally, and authorities had already begun investigating.
With this news, the value of Huajin's shares plummeted immediately.
When Ye Chen received the news, he was in the bathroom.
Spending at least two or three hours a day sitting in the bathroom.
"How was it discovered? Who provided the information?"
In the bathroom, Ye Chen shouted angrily while looking at his phone.
His plan to conquer Wang Yixue was ruined due to Fars's collapse.
The three hundred billion in funds that they didn't even have time to invest in the project now went directly into the pockets of the French government.
Three hundred billion!
For him, it would be a loss if he couldn't recover the money; he couldn't sleep if he didn't benefit in some way.
Losing that much money at once made him bleed deeply.
What was even more unacceptable was the huge loss in Huajin.
The value of their shares plummeted, and the company was desperately trying to save the market.
Huajin is one of the major companies in the Dragon Soul Organization, with assets close to five trillion.
Now that the stock market was falling, the loss was at least one billion.
"Dragon King, there's another report. This main loss is due to someone taking the opportunity to short-sell us."
"The opponents invested eight hundred billion yuan, and the investigation shows that this money came from the Tengwang Group and the Tang Group..."
The report continued on the phone.
Upon hearing the names of the Tengwang Group and the Tang Group, Ye Chen's face turned pale.
How could those two do such a thing?
What went wrong? His plan should have been perfect.
Wang Rulong would never dare to betray him.
Wang Yixue should be in the dark about this.
Could it be that this loser, Tang Yu, discovered something?
Him?
"My identity hasn't been discovered, right?"
Ye Chen asked coldly.
"No, the identity of the Dragon King is absolutely confidential."
"That's good. Isn't it just a loss of one billion? When I conquer the Four Great Families, that money will come back multiplied by ten or a hundred times."
Ye Chen hung up the phone after saying this.
As long as his identity wasn't exposed, he would find another way to win over Wang Yixue!
To conquer a woman, he had ten thousand ways!
As for Tang Yu...
The money he earned this time would have to be paid back with his life in the future!
Then he took out his phone and sent a message to his subordinate, Chi Yin.
"In the next fifteen days, you must investigate the weaknesses of the Tang Group. I want the Tang family to suffer!"
After sending the message, he left the bathroom.
Walking towards the grass below, he turned around and quickly caught a half-meter-long snake.
After capturing it, he easily removed the snake's fangs.
Thus, the snake lost its ability to attack.
With a cold smile, he headed to villa number 8, where Miss Qin Kexin of the Qin Clan lived.
In recent days, he hadn't found an opportunity to get close to Qin Kexin.
If he couldn't find one, he would create it!
Seeing that there was no one around, he threw the snake out the second-floor window of the villa and then quietly waited below for the hero to save the beauty.
...
"Ding, the host has successfully survived the plot; a reward has been granted: the Mingyue Hotel, already transferred to the host's name."
Suddenly, the system notified Tang Yu, who was lying at home resting.
He jumped out of bed.
What the hell? How did I survive the plot?
He was completely confused, as he hadn't done anything; he was just hanging out at home.
"System, what did I do?"
He thought silently.
"You have successfully survived Chapter Eighty-Eight of the plot."
The system's voice sounded.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and recalled Chapter Eighty-Eight.
In this chapter, the Dragon King Ye Chen's plan succeeded; Wang Yixue fell into his trap, and the five hundred billion from the Tengwang Group was frozen.
Then Wang Rulong began to take power, and the plot focused on conquering women.
"I understand."
Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
Although there were some changes in the plot, under his strategy, he managed to keep on course.
"System, you've finally done something useful. You gave me a real reward."
Tang Yu praised the system in his mind.
"Hehe."
The system chuckled a little before falling silent.
In a good mood, Tang Yu got up and got ready before going to see his new reward.
The Mingyue Hotel sounds normal by name.
But it is extremely famous in Suhang.
It is the only seven-star hotel in Suhang.
In all of China, it can be considered a top-notch, high-quality hotel!
Its value approaches two hundred billion, and Tang Yu didn't expect the system to be so generous this time.
Although the Tang family is already very rich.
Who would complain about having more money?
Walking toward the garage, Tang Yu was about to choose a sports car to go out when his phone rang.
He looked at the phone and saw it was a call from the company.
"What's going on?"
"Young Master Tang, the three hundred billion we transferred to the Tengwang Group a few days ago has been returned. Additionally, there was a profit of one hundred fifty billion."
"What?"
Tang Yu began to suspect that something was wrong.
Shouldn't it have been invested in Wang Yixue's renewable energy project and frozen?
Why was there a profit of one hundred fifty billion after the money was returned?
Making money is a pleasant thing.
But something is wrong!
"Maybe the plot has collapsed again."
Tang Yu hung up the phone immediately and called Wang Yixue again.
"What's up, dear? Did you miss me?"
Wang Yixue's sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
Tang Yu instantly thought of the picture of her dressed as a bunny.
He cleared his throat and said, "What happened with the investment project we collaborated on last time?"
"Oh, I suddenly realized there was a problem with the company we were collaborating with. I investigated and found out that someone was trying to deceive our Wang family."
"So I used the investment money to short-sell against them; we made a bit of profit. The next time there's an opportunity to make money, I'll let you know. Mua~"
Wang Yixue blew a kiss to Tang Yu over the phone.
Tang Yu was stunned and speechless.

"short sale" is an investment strategy where an investor sells shares they do not own, hoping to buy them back at a lower price in the future. The process involves borrowing shares from a broker and selling them in the market. If the share price drops, the investor can buy them back at that reduced price, return them to the broker, and make a profit. However, if the price rises, the investor may face significant losses, as there is no theoretical limit to how high the share price can go.
