The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Five or six minutes later, Li Wen's parents knocked on Ling Yun's neighbor's door.

"Uncle, do you know where the young man next door is? We need to talk to him, but we've been knocking on the door for ages and there's no answer. His phone is off too."

"You mean Ling Yun? He left at noon with his suitcase, saying he's going on a business trip for over a month."

The smiles on Li Wen's parents' faces froze instantly, their eyes filled with disappointment.

Even after coming downstairs, they were still unwilling to give up and called Lingyun again.

The result was unchanged!

After hanging up the phone, Li Wen's mother said angrily:

"You little bastard, why did you have to go on a business trip now of all times? Are you deliberately trying to go against us?!"

"When we get home, why don't we talk to Nannan and ask her to borrow money from Lingyun on her behalf?"

"That little rascal is always generous and treats Nannan well. If Nannan just begs him a bit, three million will be a piece of cake!"

Li Wen's father hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand.

"Don't tell Nannan yet. After all, we were the ones who told her to break up with this brat, and now we're making her borrow money from Lingyun. It's too quick to slap us in the face!"

"That little rascal will always turn his phone back on. Once we get in touch with him, let's talk to him about borrowing money over the phone!"

"If he doesn't agree, it's not too late to have Nannan step in. If we can really borrow three million from him, we won't have to rush to sell the house!"

"Why shouldn't you agree, you little brat?"

Li Wen's mother rolled her eyes with an air of self-righteousness.

"Our daughter dated him for so long, consider this three million as compensation for her lost youth!"

"If I had known this little rascal could turn things around, I really shouldn't have let my daughter break up with him so early. It would have been better to wait until we got to Canada before calling to break up."

After chatting for a few more minutes, the greedy couple drove away.

At this moment, Ling Yun was leading Zhou Hua and the others to work late into the night, continuously buying long positions in WTI crude oil futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange!

Little did he expect that Li Wen's parents would set their sights on his assets.

He earned those millions in the stock market over the past two months by taking advantage of his precognitive abilities as a reborn individual.

In just two months, he not only recovered all his previous stock market losses, but also made four or five times his initial investment.

Today, his personal assets are over four million, and the single top-performing stock he holds is still rising rapidly.

In just a few months, this top-performing stock will bring him more than ten times the return.

Only then will he close his position and lock in profits.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already past four in the morning.

The sky outside the window gradually brightened, but the trading room remained brightly lit.

Ling Yun and Li Jie were still monitoring the trading, while Zhou Hua and Zhang Yuntian were fast asleep in the rest room.

Just then, Li Jie suddenly said excitedly:

"This is the last order, 25 lots long, place your order now!"

Ling Yun looked up at the guy, then quickly checked the holdings of several trading accounts.

The result is self-evident!

The task of building a position, which lasted for more than ten hours, is finally complete!

Lingyun was thrilled to see the result.

"That's fantastic! This is our team's first battle, we must win spectacularly!"

"But this is just the beginning; the most exciting part is yet to come!"

"Go wash your face and brush your teeth first, then wake up Hua Zi and the others and have them take over monitoring the market."

"The New York Mercantile Exchange's system maintenance and settlement time is from 5 to 6 pm, so I took the opportunity to give them some instructions before resting."

Li Jie got up from the chair, spread his arms and stretched out a long yawn.

"Okay, this is exhausting, buddy. This is inhuman!"

After saying that, the guy walked towards the lounge.

Ling Yun chuckled softly, continued monitoring the market, and began reviewing all the transactions from yesterday to today.

Soon, it was five in the morning.

The trading session for WTI crude oil futures on the NYMEX has ended for the day, and the system is now undergoing maintenance and settlement.

This is a rare time of rest for NYMEX clients around the world.

But the break is only one hour. At six o'clock in the morning, the new day's trading will begin again, and it will be another 24-hour cycle!

Just after five o'clock, Zhou Hua and Zhang Yuntian, having gotten up, washed their faces, and brushed their teeth, went to their respective workstations together.

Ling Yun greeted the two men and immediately began to explain the situation.

"Long positions of 2000 lots of WTI crude oil futures July contracts have been established, with the current market price at $128.2 per barrel."

"From yesterday to today, our average cost basis is $127.9 per barrel, and we have already made a profit of several hundred thousand dollars."

"After 6 o'clock, keep a close eye on the market. Once the price of WTI crude oil futures falls below $128 per barrel, then add to your position."

"The leverage remains at 100x, and the strategy is to add to positions in small, dispersed orders, with a maximum of 1000 lots per order..."

Just as he said this, Li Jie had finished washing up, climbed onto his bunk, and fallen asleep.

Half an hour later, after assigning tasks to Zhou Hua and the others, Ling Yun shut down his computer, got up, and went to the lounge to sleep!

Zhou Hua and Zhang Yuntian sat at their respective workstations, reviewing the previous night's transactions while waiting for six o'clock to arrive.

Lingyun slept until 12:30 in the afternoon before waking up.

After opening his eyes, he didn't get up immediately. Instead, he picked up his phone from beside his pillow and turned it on casually.

As soon as I turned on the computer, I heard a series of ringing sounds, and four or five text messages popped up in quick succession.

These text messages came from both his mother and friends, but the one that surprised Lingyun the most was from Li Wen's mother.

"Xiao Ling, call me when your phone is on, I need to talk to you!"

Upon seeing this message, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What the hell? What kind of trouble is this greedy devil up to? He's probably up to no good!"

After muttering a few complaints to himself, he quickly found Li Wen's phone number and sent her a message with lightning speed.

"I turned off my phone last night while working overtime, and as soon as I turned it back on, I received a message from your mother saying she needed to speak with me!"

"What could she possibly want from me? Did something happen to you?"

Li Wen replied less than a minute after the text message was sent.

"I'm having lunch with my colleagues right now, nothing's wrong. I'll call and ask what happened later, then I'll get back to you!"

Upon seeing this message, Ling Yun was immediately relieved.

Although he had broken up with Li Wen, he didn't blame her because they had shared a bed for more than three years and he had caused her considerable harm.

As for Li Wen's parents, who always looked down on him and even tried to break them up, that's a different story!

He had absolutely no respect for those two short-sighted, greedy fools.

After reading Li Wen's text message, Ling Yun sat up in bed and started calling his mother.

My mom called him last night, but his phone was off, so she sent him a message to ask what was wrong.

When the call connected and she learned that Lingyun was alright, her mother was immediately relieved.

Then, Mom changed the subject.

"Didn't you break up with Li Wen? In that case, I'll arrange blind dates for you!"

"I'll call you again once I find the right person. You better get back here for your blind date."

Upon hearing that it was a blind date, Ling Yun immediately frowned.

Then, with a forced smile, he said:

"No way! Mom, your son is so outstanding, why would he need to go on blind dates? It would be too embarrassing if word got out!"

"As for whether you lose face or not, I just want to hold my grandson as soon as possible, that's the only thing that matters!"

"Fine! Have I become a mere tool?"

"So what if you're just a tool? We'd be waiting forever to get a girlfriend, get married, and have kids!"

Just then, Zhou Hua suddenly pushed open the door and peeked in.

"Lingyun, the chairman and General Manager Wang have arrived, along with several investment experts!"

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement.

He then explained the situation to his mother and quickly hung up the phone.

He quickly got dressed, opened the door, and went to the trading area outside!
