The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

At 6:00 a.m., the New York WTI crude oil futures market opened on time.

Today's international oil price movement was exactly as Lingyun predicted, opening lower again by more than two dollars.

Then it opened lower and continued its downward trend from yesterday, with a sharp drop that didn't stop.

The same trend was observed in London Brent crude oil futures, which plummeted immediately upon opening and quickly fell below the $90 mark.

Upon seeing this, the joint investment team's office area erupted in cheers.

With the prevailing sentiment that international oil prices would continue to plummet, Lingyun quickly devised response strategies for the two investment teams and stopped paying attention to international oil prices.

Instead, they began developing investment strategies for the United Securities investment team and the Hong Kong branch of Yuanda Securities, preparing to wield the sickle to reap the rewards of the Asian financial market.

Influenced by the sharp decline in European and American financial markets last night, Asian financial markets are bound to follow suit with a sharp drop today, and such an opportunity should not be missed.

In fact, the New Zealand and Australian stock markets, which were the first to open, had already begun a sharp decline, with the market conditions being extremely dire!

After quickly devising a response strategy, Ling Yun dragged his weary body out of the office, ready to go home and rest.

In a short while, he and Zhong Tao had entered the underground parking garage.

As soon as he got into the car, he immediately gave a couple of instructions.

"Go back to Financial Street. I'll take a nap in the back seat. Wake me up when we get there."

"Okay, you can rest assured."

Zhong Tao nodded in agreement, and then expressed a few words of reflection.

"You haven't rested for over 24 hours, have you? Aren't you pushing yourself too hard? Your health is the most important thing!"

"So working in finance and investment is really this hard, both mentally and physically demanding, which is completely different from what I used to think."

Ling Yun casually fastened his seatbelt and nodded with a smile.

"There's no way around it; our country is half a day ahead of the US time zone, so staying up all night is the norm for investing in international financial markets!"

"In addition, this is a once-in-a-century super market, and I have to manage several investment teams at the same time, which is why it's so tough."

"Once the peak of this global financial crisis has passed and the financial markets gradually stabilize, we won't need to work so hard."

As he spoke, Zhong Tao casually started the engine and drove off slowly.

Wu Tianfang followed in another black G-Class and they left the CIC headquarters together.

As soon as the car left the underground parking garage, Lingyun fell asleep.

Zhong Tao glanced in the rearview mirror, slowed down slightly, and headed straight for Financial Street.

Twenty minutes later, Lingyun returned safely to her residential community.

Zhong Tao woke him up after parking the car in the underground garage.

Ling Yun opened his eyes and looked at the situation outside, then picked up his backpack and got out of the car. He went upstairs under the protection of Zhong Tao and Wu Tianfang.

They escorted him all the way to his doorstep and watched him open the door and go inside before Zhong Tao and the others turned and left, relieved.

Starting from early yesterday morning, the security level for Lingyun has been raised to a new level.

Two more special agents from the Security Bureau were added to the escort team, but these two agents remained hidden in the shadows and would not appear in Ling Yun's sight.

At the entrance of this residential area, and outside the front and back gates of that large courtyard house by Houhai, a number of energetic, short-haired vendors have quietly appeared.

Normally they are just small vendors, but when something happens, they become something else entirely!

After entering the room, Lingyun changed into slippers and prepared to go to the living room.

As soon as he rounded the entrance hall, four sexy women rushed over, all looking ecstatic.

Seeing their behavior, Ling Yun instantly understood what was going on.

From yesterday to now, Da Meiyuan and Leilei's net worth has more than tripled overnight, making them all billionaires.

A few days ago, his personal net worth reached 500 million US dollars, and his total assets are approaching 2 billion US dollars.

Faced with such an astonishing amount of wealth, all in real gold and silver, anyone would go crazy for it, and Da Meiyuan and her friends were no exception!

They got up very early today, just as dawn broke.

Then they eagerly turned on their computers, logged into their respective overseas investment accounts, and checked their investment returns.

The result was predictable!

In an instant, they fell into a near-mad state, which has continued to this day.

With Lingyun back home, they suddenly found the perfect outlet for their emotions!

Seeing them rushing towards him, Ling Yun quickly put his backpack on the side table next to him, then opened his arms, waiting for the beauties to come into his embrace!

Leilei was the first to arrive, throwing herself into his arms.

"Honey, how did you do that? My overseas investment account's total assets more than tripled overnight!"

"I now have nearly 1.3 billion in assets—such a long number! I never even dared to dream of it before; it's unbelievable!"

Following closely behind, Da Meiyuan and Yanzi also rushed over.

Ling Yun casually pulled Yanzi into his arms, while Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen could only hug his arms and cheer.

Like Leilei, they asked the same question.

For these financial novices, making so much money overnight is simply an unbelievable myth!

In their eyes, Ling Yun, who created a legend, was a god-like man!

"This matter is both difficult and easy; the key lies in choosing the right investment direction and daring to make a significant bet!"

"The global financial crisis I've been talking about finally erupted yesterday, and its power and destructive force far exceeded my expectations."

"It was a very coincidental coincidence that I chose the right investment direction, leveraged it several dozen times, and helped you make a large-scale shorting of stock index futures in European and American stock markets."

"As you all saw, in just one day, you were all turned into multi-millionaire heiresses, and this is just the beginning..."

Before she could finish speaking, Leilei suddenly stood on tiptoe and happily gave her a kiss.

"I love you to death, darling. My man is a true stock market genius."

Seeing this, Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen prepared to follow suit.

As they tiptoed closer to Lingyun's cheek, intending to offer him a kiss, they all frowned slightly in unison.

Then, like two little dogs, they sniffed Ling Yun a few times.

Then they quickly tilted their heads back and complained in unison.

"Ugh, you smell awful, honey! It's awful!"

"Yes, it smells rancid. What have you been doing all day? How did you get back smelling like that?"

Upon hearing this, Leilei and Yanzi quickly leaned closer to smell it.

As expected, they were also so overwhelmed by the stench that they had to tilt their heads back.

"It stinks! It smells like sweat that's dried and then wet again, then dried again, just forced out and fermented!"

"You don't actually have body odor, do you? How come I never knew before?"

Ling Yun raised his arm, smelled it, and explained with a smile.

"It really does smell bad, but that's normal. I haven't slept for 27 or 28 hours, and I've been in a state of high tension and excitement the whole time."

"Since the financial crisis officially broke out yesterday at noon, the international financial markets and the oil market have been fluctuating violently. I don't even remember how many times I broke out in a sweat!"

"Just like Leilei said, my body went from dry to wet, then wet again, and then dry again. Layers of sweat accumulated, and that's how this smell came about. Do you know how hard it was for me?"

As he spoke, he suddenly opened his arms and embraced all four beauties, giving them a close encounter.

"Ugh! It stinks!"

"You big bad guy, go take a shower right now, or you're not allowed to touch us!"

The four beauties giggled and resisted, either lightly punching Ling Yun twice or pinching him.

After joking and playing around for a while, Ling Yun picked up her backpack and went upstairs to wash up and change her clothes.

Meanwhile, in the lake.

Several people from SZ, including Vice President Wang, simultaneously received an investment analysis report and an investment return statistics table from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission!

When they saw the total investment returns on the report, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow! That's an astronomical figure, absolutely astonishing!"
