The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

Ten minutes later, the stocks of all 36 listed companies under the Shen family hit their daily limit down, and the market value evaporated by more than 800 billion yuan in just ten minutes!

As soon as Ye Qingyan took action, the Shen Group headquarters naturally received the news immediately. Shen Xing looked at the group's stock, which plummeted to the 20% daily limit down, and his face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

"What a bunch of shrewd people from Haicheng's Ye family! They really think too highly of themselves, daring to retaliate against our Shen family!"

"Do they really think that having someone like Ye Linyuan, who's supposedly the number one genius among the southern elite families, can rival the Shen family?"

Shen Xing turned to look at the secretary.

"Notify the Morgan financial group in the United States and have them handle it. Once it's done, our Shen family will increase the price by fifty percent on top of the original deal!"

"Yes, Chairman."

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Shen family's residence, Shen Cheng, whose head was still spinning from Ye Linyuan's two slaps, suddenly received a call from his secretary.

"Mr. Shen! Something terrible has happened! The company's stock has plummeted!"

"What? How much?"

"Thirty-six listed companies under the Shen Group all hit their daily limit down of 20%, wiping out over 800 billion yuan in market value!"

Shen Cheng's expression changed drastically. His previously drowsy mind became clearer than ever before, and he hurriedly asked.

"How could this happen? Who's dumping shares?"

"Found it! It's the Ye Group from Haicheng!"

Upon hearing the secretary's words, Shen Cheng suddenly looked up at Ye Linyuan.

"It's you!"

Ye Linyuan pointed to himself and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Yes, I'm the one who ordered it. Didn't I just say that if you don't hand over 80% of your resources and wealth, then your Shen family will be finished?"

At this moment, Shen Xiao also heard the shocking news from his subordinates. Covering his face, which had swelled up again, he couldn't help but stare intently at Ye Linyuan.

"You're insane! This is malicious short selling! The China Securities Regulatory Commission won't let you get away with this!"

"Malicious short selling? When did I short sell? There's no such thing as short selling in our country. I was just buying and selling stocks normally. If you think I've done something wrong, you can sue me."

For a moment, both Principal Shen and Shen Cheng were so angry that they trembled all over.

"You...you..."

"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff, this is just the beginning."

Ye Linyuan checked the time.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, my sister also prepared a big gift."

"What? There's more?"

"That's a novel way to put it. I already said I'd completely destroy your Shen family, how could that be? It's over already? You'll soon find out about my next big gift."

Meanwhile, in the capital city, Wang Ling, the head of the investigation team for the Ye Group's monopoly and also one of the deputy directors of the State Administration for Market Regulation, was looking at the reports submitted by his subordinates, his face grim.

"Are you saying that the Ye Group doesn't have a monopoly at all, and that the Shen family is simply framing them?"

"Yes, Director Wang, we investigated all of the Ye Group's businesses and found no monopolistic practices."

"Then what about the evidence provided by the Shen family?"

"Director Wang, I also had someone conduct an emergency investigation. The so-called evidence provided by the Shen family is all fabricated and has no authenticity whatsoever."

Snapped!

Wang Ling slammed his hand on the table, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Fine, fine, fine, you Shen family! You're using our State Administration for Market Regulation as a pawn!"

Wang Ling's subordinate couldn't help but ask.

"Director Wang, what do we do now?"

"What to do? Investigate, of course, but this time, investigate the Shen family!"

"Don't they like to use our State Administration for Market Regulation as a tool? Then let them taste the power of this weapon themselves. They better hope they don't have a monopoly; if they dare to, punish them to the highest standards!"

"yes!"

After his subordinates closed the door and left, the anger on Wang Ling's face disappeared, and even a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Heh, they even dare to mess with the Ye family, which is currently at the height of its power? Don't they realize how much the Ye family has contributed to the country recently? Luckily, I had already contacted Elder Ye Xiong beforehand, otherwise the Shen family would have really screwed me over. The Shen family has really gone further and further down the path of self-destruction these past few years."

An hour later, following Wang Ling's order, the investigation team directly entered the 36 listed groups under the Shen family's name and held a press conference. They not only announced the full report on the Ye Group's monopoly investigation, proving that the Ye Group had no problems whatsoever, but also announced that they would conduct a monopoly investigation on the Shen Group!

The news caused an uproar, and everyone was shocked. Many shareholders who held shares in Shen's Group, and even some major shareholders, were already preparing to reduce their holdings as soon as the market opened tomorrow!

Judging from the current state of the Shen family, they are clearly a sinking ship!

At the same time, at the gate of the Shen family's residence, Shen Cheng's phone rang again. This time it was the legal department of the listed company under the Shen Group, which he controlled.

"Mr. Shen! Something terrible has happened! People from the State Administration for Market Regulation are here; they're going to investigate us!"

"What? The State Administration for Market Regulation is coming to our company? What are they investigating?!"

"They're investigating us for monopolistic practices! They say we're suspected of monopolistic practices and they're going to conduct a full investigation!"

Shen Cheng was almost scared to death by the news. He couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan, his eyes turning red.

"Are you fucking crazy? You're reporting us?"

"Report? I don't have time to report you. I just wrote a letter to Director Wang of the State Administration for Market Regulation and told some truths, such as your smuggling of rare earth."

As soon as Ye Linyuan said this, the anger on Shen Xiao and Shen Cheng's faces receded like the tide, leaving only paleness.

If it's a monopoly, then there might not be any problems. After all, whether it's a monopoly or not, there is ultimately a determination, but the boundary of that determination is in the hands of the State Administration for Market Regulation.

At worst, they can spend some money and effort to smooth things over; they might not necessarily be convicted of monopoly.

But once the label of smuggling is attached, it will be a huge problem. One wrong move could cause the Shen family's century-old foundation to be completely wiped out!

After a long while, Principal Shen finally calmed down, took a deep breath, and then showed a smile that looked even uglier than a grimace.

"Young Master Ye, what will it take for you to stop?"

Looking at Principal Shen's fawning smile, Ye Linyuan almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Although he did have evidence of the Shen family's smuggling activities, now was not the time to release it. He was only saying that to scare them.

Unexpectedly, Principal Shen, the future successor of the Shen family, was so easily intimidated that he chickened out.

It's boring, it's really boring.
