The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Seeing Abbess Miejue leading her people straight towards him, Ling Yun showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a strange smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He quickly opened an encrypted file on his computer desktop and turned on the subwoofer speaker that he hadn't used much.

Her subordinates panicked, staring intently at Abbess Miejue and her group, their faces pale and their legs trembling.

Finished!

Even if he doesn't bear the main responsibility for this huge loss, his career as a futures trader can be declared over!

Guo Zirong kept his head down, a hint of excitement flickering deep in his eyes.

Hearing the commotion outside, the investment director quickly came out of his office.

Upon seeing Abbess Miejue arrive, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly jogged towards Ling Yun.

Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.

"Thump, thump, thump"

With chilling steps, Abbess Miejue led her entourage to Ling Yun's workstation and looked at him coldly.

"Hello, are you Ling Yun from the Futures Investment Department? I am Xu Xinlan from the Group's Compliance Department. This is my identification."

"Please come with us to accept the relevant investigation from the Compliance Department."

"The investigation involves your group's overnight trading last night. You may bring the relevant documents, but they must be within our sight!"

While identifying herself, she showed her work ID and investigation documents.

"hiss"

Everyone gasped in shock, utterly terrified.

Abbess Miejue has never failed in her mission; Ling Yun is truly doomed this time!

The next moment, President Chen tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Xu. Isn't it a bit too hasty for the group to launch a compliance investigation so quickly? Our department is currently..."

"I am willing to cooperate with the Group's Compliance Department's investigation. Mr. Chen, you don't need to say anything more. Thank you for your care over the past year!"

Ling Yun suddenly spoke, his tone calm yet firm.

"Why!"

President Chen turned to look at Ling Yun, sighed helplessly, and said nothing more.

Looking at Ling Yun again, he calmly looked at President Xu and the others.

"Mr. Xu, before we proceed with the investigation by the Group's Compliance Department, I'd like to ask you all to listen to something briefly; it won't take more than a few minutes."

As he spoke, he gently tapped on a video on the desktop.

As the video started playing, a clip from an office security camera suddenly appeared on the computer screen.

Everyone recognizes the two people in the video: one is Guo Zirong, and the other is Mr. Fang, the company's vice president of commodity futures investment research.

While watching the video, everyone also heard their conversation.

"Uncle, this reverse strategy of mine will cause big problems. Lingyun's strategy is to go long on crude oil futures, but I'm shorting them in large quantities now."

"Moreover, the leverage has multiplied several times, but no stop-loss order has been set. The resulting losses could potentially reach as high as one billion. This is a huge pitfall!"

Guo Zirong said this, his tone revealing a hint of panic.

Mr. Fang sat in his chair, leisurely sipping his tea.

"Fool, you're my own nephew. Would I let you do something I'm not sure I can handle?"

"Don't worry, I've completely destroyed the report and investment strategy that that little bastard Ling Yun sent me. There's no way to prove it now!"

"Once the compliance department launches its investigation, all you need to do is insist that the instructions you received were to short sell, and I'll help you prove it!"

"This kind of completely contradictory situation has happened before within the group, and it can be categorized as a 'fat finger' incident!"

Hearing his uncle say this, Guo Zirong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The video continued, and everyone became increasingly alarmed as they listened.

Perhaps believing his plan was flawless, Mr. Fang proudly revealed his operation.

Everyone heard him clearly as he described it.

Guo Zirong is going to study in the United States in October and will resign soon.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Boss Fang set up this scheme and instructed Guo Zirong to keep quiet and get through these next few months.

Once Guo Zirong successfully leaves the country, everything will be fine.

More importantly, Mr. Fang revealed the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, who was the opposing side from last night.

Merrill Lynch headquarters crude oil futures trading department!

He has reached an agreement with Merrill Lynch, and they will receive a very substantial reward through this transaction!

Once Guo Zirong arrives in New York, he will be able to get a luxury apartment in Manhattan, and after graduating from New York University, he can directly join Merrill Lynch headquarters!

Before long, Mr. Fang will resign and become a senior executive at Merrill Lynch's Singapore branch.

It was precisely because of the promises made by Merrill Lynch's top management that the man surnamed Fang betrayed the company and ruthlessly ripped it off, cooperating with Merrill Lynch to complete this harvest!

In the blink of an eye, the video is already halfway through.

"As for that little bastard Ling Yun, whether he lives or dies is none of our business."

"You've always liked Li Wen, haven't you? Her family is immigrating to Canada soon, your chance has come..."

"boom!"

The office area was in complete chaos.

Everyone turned to look at Guo Zirong, their gazes like daggers piercing the scumbag.

It turns out this wasn't an operational error, but rather a betrayal and a scheme to exploit someone from within!

Guo Zirong looked as if he had lost his parents, his face was pale, and he looked like he had seen a ghost.

The next moment, this guy suddenly pounced on Ling Yun like a madman.

"It's fake, this video is fabricated. Mr. Fang and I are just in a superior-subordinate relationship. This is slander..."

"Stain?"

Ling Yun sneered.

Before he could even make a move, the other three team members exploded.

Seeing Guo Zirong try to interrupt the video playback, they couldn't stand it any longer and rushed forward!

"Fuck you, you dare frame me? I'll fuck you to death today, you son of a bitch, or I'll change my surname to yours!"

"Fuck you, I've had my eye on this idiot for ages, let's get him!"

Before the cursing had even finished, the three of them had already grabbed Guo Zirong and then slammed him hard onto the floor.

"Bang bang bang"

A storm of punches rained down, and Guo Zirong was instantly beaten into a pig's head, with blood flying from his nose and teeth flying everywhere!

What followed was a barrage of angry curses.

"Fuck! I treated you like a brother, and you treated me like an idiot, go to hell!"

"You despicable, smoking piece of trash, I'll fuck you to death!"

Guo Zirong, who was being brutally beaten on the floor, screamed in agony.

It was only then that the others realized what was happening.

"Pull them apart right now! This is an office area, what kind of mess is this!"

At Mr. Xu's command, several male employees from the compliance department immediately rushed forward and pretended to break up the fight.

Taking this opportunity, two of the guys secretly kicked Guo Zirong a few times, clearly hating this traitorous beast!

Looking at Guo Zirong, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, Ling Yun suddenly felt refreshed and invigorated!

"I've been reborn for two months, patiently lying low, waiting for this moment. It's simply exhilarating!"

"Ten years in prison! Now it's your turn, uncle and nephew, to experience it. It'll be wonderful!"

In his previous life, Ling Yun was framed by Boss Fang and Guo Zirong and spent ten years in a prison in Tilanqiao!

This was because he actively sought progress, studied diligently, and helped the entire prison system upgrade and improve its financial processes, earning him numerous merits!

All these factors combined resulted in him receiving a total of five years of reduced sentences, allowing him to be released early!

Otherwise, he would have to stay in Tilanqiao for another five years!

In 2018, Lingyun regained his freedom, but the outside world had already undergone a complete transformation.

His once happy and harmonious family has become chaotic and almost fell apart!

More importantly, as a released convict with a lifetime ban from the financial industry, finding a job is extremely difficult for him!

The popular online jokes about the legendary Tilanqiao basketball player transforming into a million-dollar-a-year cleaner and becoming a janitor at a big company simply don't apply to Ling Yun.

Due to the severe penalty of a lifetime ban from the financial industry, no financial institution was willing to hire him, including private institutions such as private equity funds.

He wasn't even qualified to open his own stock and futures trading account.

Having suffered a major setback in the financial sector, Lingyun cannot afford to make the same mistake again, and he has no desire to return to Tilanqiao to eat cornbread.

As a result, he had to look for other jobs, but he encountered setbacks everywhere.

It's already 2020, and the disaster that swept the world has arrived as expected, making it even harder to find a job!

Often, Lingyun could only stand at the window of his old house, staring blankly at the empty streets of Beijing!

Once things improved, he found a job as a food delivery driver, working in all kinds of weather every day, becoming the world's most hardworking ox or horse!

Of course, he didn't get nothing out of his ten years in prison.

At Tilanqiao, which is known as a branch campus of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Lingyun met many alumni and experts from all walks of life, and learned a lot!

After his release from prison, he cut off all contact with everyone he had met in prison, including some incredibly powerful figures and various influential people.

The reason is simple: he didn't want to recall the agonizing life behind bars, and he didn't want to become someone else's tool, ultimately returning to Tilanqiao!

Thinking of this, and looking at Guo Zirong who had been beaten into a pig's head, Ling Yun felt so happy he could fly!

The next moment, he said in a disdainful, cold voice:

"So what if you smash your computer, son of a bitch? The outcome won't change!"

"Before we went to Mr. Chen's office to get yelled at, I had already packaged up all the evidence and sent it to the relevant departments of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Futures Industry Association!"

"And the Shanghai Securities Regulatory Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the group chairman, and other heavyweight institutions and executives are watching your performance right now."

"No matter how powerful your uncle is, he can't escape the law this time. Here's a piece of advice: wash your hands of your own business and go to jail!"

"hiss!"

A collective gasp filled the air; everyone was startled.

What a ruthless move to wipe them out! This young master is truly vicious!

Just then, a pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded at the scene.

The next moment, Mr. Xu took out his phone and checked the display.

Just as she was about to answer the phone, she heard hurried footsteps at the entrance of the office area.

Mr. Fang rushed into the office area like a stray dog, followed by three serious-looking guys who kept warning him as they chased after him.

"Halt! Fang Changhai, we are staff members of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Please cooperate with the investigation!"
