LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 27 – I Really Don’t Want to Make Money
France, Liberty News.
As a forward-thinking media outlet, they had long since started developing their online presence, amassing over twenty million followers across various social platforms.
Today, they suddenly published a news article that garnered millions of clicks within just an hour.
The news revealed that Fars Company had been evading taxes for years.
The article detailed the financial misconduct of Fars over the past seven years.
French netizens were infuriated upon learning about Fars Company's actions.
"Is the French government eating shit? How could they not discover this?"
"They're busy splitting the loot, those bastards."
"Fine them, fine them to death!"
Upon receiving the news, the relevant authorities immediately dispatched personnel to Fars Company.
They detained the executives and froze all their assets!
By the next day, the investigation results were out.
Fars Company was found guilty of severe tax evasion and would face a massive fine!
The three hundred billion Huajin had just transferred over wasn’t enough to fill this financial hole!
After Fars Company's collapse, Huajin Investment Company, as the largest shareholder, also suffered a heavy blow.
They were exposed for illegal fund transfers, and the authorities had already stepped in to investigate.
As soon as the news broke, Huajin Investment Company's stock price plummeted.
Ye Chen received the news while squatting in the restroom.
Getting paid to take a dump, he spent at least two to three hours here every day.
"How did they find out? Who provided the information?"
He roared furiously into his phone in the restroom.
With Fars Company’s collapse, his plan to win over Wang Yixue was utterly ruined.
The three hundred billion hadn’t even been invested in the project; it went straight into the French government's pockets.
Three hundred billion!!
For him, not picking up money on the street was a loss; he couldn’t sleep without taking advantage of every opportunity.
Losing so much at once, his heart bled.
What made it worse was the severe losses Huajin Investment suffered.
Their stock price was plummeting, and the company was desperately throwing money to stabilize the market.
Huajin Investment was one of the major companies under the Dragon Soul organization, with total assets around five trillion.
With this stock market plunge, their losses were at least near a trillion!
"Dragon King, there's another situation to report. The main reason for this loss is that someone took the opportunity to short us."
"The other party invested eight hundred billion yuan. Our organization has investigated and found that this money came from the Tengwang Group and the Tang Group..."
The voice on the other end of the phone continued to report.
Upon hearing the names Tengwang Group and Tang Group, Ye Chen's face turned green.
How could these two families do such a thing?
Where did it go wrong? His plan should have been flawless.
Wang Rulong would never dare to betray him.
Wang Yixue should have been kept in the dark!
Could it be that Tang Yu, that useless guy, discovered something?
Him?
"My identity hasn’t been exposed, right?"
Ye Chen asked coldly.
"No, Dragon King's identity is absolutely confidential!"
"Good, so we lost a trillion? Once I take down the four major families, this money will come back tenfold, a hundredfold!"
Ye Chen hung up the phone after speaking.
As long as his identity remained hidden! He would find another way to win over Wang Yixue!
He had a thousand ways to conquer a woman!
As for Tang Yu!
The money he earned this time, he would pay back with his life in the future!
He then took out his phone and sent a text message to his subordinate, Chi Yin.
"Within half a month, find out the dirt on the Tang Group. I want the Tang Family to suffer!"
After sending the message, he left the restroom.
Walking to the lawn downstairs, he quickly caught a half-meter-long snake.
After catching the snake, he easily removed its fangs.
This way, the snake was no longer a threat.
He sneered and walked to Villa 8, where the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Qin Kexin, lived.
He hadn’t found a chance to approach Qin Kexin in the past two days.
Since that was the case, he would create an opportunity himself!
Seeing no one around, he easily threw the snake through the second-floor window of the villa, then stood downstairs, waiting for his chance to play the hero!
Creating an accident to gain favor, making the other party fall for him step by step, was his specialty!
...
"Beep, the host has successfully survived the plot, rewarded with a Bright Moon Hotel, transferred to the host's name."
Tang Yu, who was lying at home like a salted fish, suddenly heard the system prompt in his ear.
He instantly sat up from the bed.
"What the hell? How did I survive the plot?"
He was bewildered; he hadn’t done anything at home.
"System, what did I do?"
He asked in his mind.
"Successfully survived the plot of Chapter 88."
The system's voice sounded.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and remembered the plot of Chapter 88.
In that chapter, Dragon King Ye Chen's scheme succeeded, Wang Yixue fell into his trap, and Tengwang Group's five hundred billion funds were frozen.
Next, Wang Rulong would start seizing power, and then it would be his turn to pick up girls.
"Got it."
Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
After painstakingly acting and surviving for so long, he finally got his due reward.
In a good mood, he got up and tidied himself up, preparing to check out his new reward.
The name Bright Moon Hotel sounded ordinary.
But in Suzhou and Hangzhou, it was quite famous.
It was the only seven-star hotel in Suzhou and Hangzhou!
In all of China, it was considered a top-tier luxury hotel!
Its value was about two hundred billion. Tang Yu didn’t expect the shitty system to be so generous this time.
Although the Tang Family was already very wealthy.
But who the hell would complain about having too much money?
Of course, if the system had given him some ancient martial arts techniques or life-saving rewards instead, it would have been even better.
Walking to the garage, Tang Yu was about to pick a sports car to set off when his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was from the company.
"What’s up?"
"Young Master Tang, the three hundred billion investment transferred to Tengwang Group a few days ago has been returned, along with an additional one hundred and fifty billion in profits."
"What?"
Tang Yu started to feel something was off.
That money should have been invested in the new energy project and frozen, right?
How did it come back with an additional one hundred and fifty billion in profits?
Making money was a happy thing.
But this didn’t make any damn sense!
"Could the plot have collapsed again?"
Tang Yu quickly hung up and dialed Wang Yixue's number.
"What’s up, darling? Miss me?"
Wang Yixue's sweet voice came from the other end of the line.
Tang Yu instantly recalled her bunny girl photos.
He cleared his throat and asked, "What’s the situation with our last investment project?"
"Oh, I suddenly found some issues with the partner company. After investigating, I discovered someone was trying to scam our Wang Family."
"So I used the investment money to short them instead, made a little profit. Next time there’s a good money-making opportunity, I’ll call you, mua~"
Wang Yixue gave Tang Yu a kiss over the phone.
