The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ling Yun and General Manager Kong walked out of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, chatting and laughing.

They then waved goodbye at the door and went home to rest.

In a short while, Lingyun's car had driven onto the main road and headed straight for Chaoyang Park.

As the vehicle moved, he took out his phone and glanced at it.

The results showed that there were six or seven missed calls and five or six unread text messages on the phone.

The missed calls were mostly from my mom and Yanzi, and the same goes for the unread text messages; the situation is not optimistic.

"Honey, my parents went to the large courtyard house in Houhai to settle scores with you. You'd better stay out of their way. I'm going back to the villa now."

"You brat, don't ever come to Houhai after the meeting. Yanzi's parents will tear you apart on the spot, you little rascal!"

Looking at the text messages from Yanzi and her mother, Lingyun felt a chill run down her spine.

After a moment's thought, he quickly sent a text message to his mother.

"Okay, Mom. Please reassure Yanzi's parents. I just finished a meeting; I'll go back and discuss a plan with Yanzi."

After sending the text message, he immediately called Yanzi to ask where she was.

Yanzi told him on the phone that she had already returned to the villa and that she dared not go home for the next few days.

Considering that Zhong Tao was driving and there were some things that were inconvenient to discuss over the phone, Ling Yun quickly ended the call.

Houhai, courtyard houses.

In the study.

While gently rubbing her forehead, Mom kept working on Swallow's mother.

"My little brat did something wrong. As the head of the family, I apologize on his behalf. We failed to discipline him properly."

"If that brat hadn't been in a meeting with his boss and couldn't get away, I would have definitely called him back so you two could have a good venting of your anger."

Swallow's mother clenched her fists tightly and complained indignantly.

"This isn't a question of whether your parenting is good or bad; it's that Yunzi, that brat, has become bad since he's got money, and he's even bullying Yanzi."

"Now that it has happened, his fallacious logic of only dating and not getting married won't work for us."

"Either our two families sit down and talk about the children's marriage, or I'll make Yanzi break up with this brat and never speak to him again."

My mother frowned slightly, then quickly waved her hand with a forced smile.

"Don't be like that! Yunzi and Yanzi are very different now than before. Getting married and starting a family is not a simple matter; there are too many things to consider."

"Judging from your aggressive demeanor, you probably don't know yet, but with Yunzi's help, Yanzi is now a billionaire with a net worth of over 3 billion."

Before he could finish speaking, it went "whoosh" away.

As if electrocuted, Mother Swallow jumped up from the sofa.

"What? Yanzi's net worth exceeds three billion? You're not kidding me, are you? How is that possible?"

Seeing her reaction, Mom chuckled.

She quickly realized that winning over Swallow's mother wouldn't be too difficult.

"Nothing is impossible. To be honest, Yunzi's net worth has already exceeded 10 billion, and breaking into the top five of the Forbes list is not a problem."

"I'm not bragging, but this kid is a true investment genius. It's with his help that Yanzi has been able to make so much money!"

"My goodness, a net worth of tens of billions! Has this kid struck gold?"

Mother Swallow exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in shock.

"This kid obviously didn't find a gold mine, but he himself is a huge, inexhaustible gold mine."

My mom's eyebrows shot up, and she immediately went back to the previous topic.

"As far as I know, half of Yanzi's astonishing wealth is in Hong Kong Island and half in mainland China. In Beijing alone, Yanzi has bought two villas, as well as many other houses and cars."

"Moreover, Yunzi is planning to acquire their magazine and let her manage it. In the future, Yanzi's business will only get better and better, and she will become richer and richer."

"To say something counterintuitive, for a girl as wealthy as Yanzi, is marriage really that important? It seems that not getting married is more beneficial for protecting her assets."

"If she breaks up with Yunzi as you wish, and then starts dating someone else, who can guarantee that the other person isn't after her money? The probability of that is probably very high..."

"Ah! That's absolutely not going to happen!"

Mother Swallow exclaimed again, startled.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard.

Dad finished his tea, placed the cup on the stone table, and made a few comments, feigning helplessness.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; don't worry about them too much. Yunzi and Yanzi are already adults and have their own careers. We should trust their choices and judgments."

"Besides, Yunzi is now a member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee enjoying the待遇 of a full-fledged department-level official, while I'm just a middle school teacher. I lack the confidence and power to speak!"

Unsurprisingly, Swallow's father was taken aback.

"Snapped!"

The teacup in his hand suddenly fell and shattered on the floor.

What followed was an exaggerated exclamation.

"What? Enjoying the treatment of a department-level official, and a core member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee? Can you say that again? I didn't hear you clearly."

Dad chuckled and nonchalantly put on a show.

"You heard me right. I'll say it again. Of course, Yunzi doesn't hold any real position; she's just an advisor."

"Given Yunzi's personal wealth and the fact that she is not part of the system, she naturally cannot hold a substantive position, but she is also not subject to certain rules within the system."

Upon receiving a definite answer, Swallow's father was stunned once again.

Immediately afterwards, a sense of frustration arose within him.

"Fine! I've worked diligently for half my life, and in the end, I'm ranked the same as that kid Yunzi. Where's the justice in this?"

"Haha, there's really no reasoning with that, I feel the same way."

Dad laughed triumphantly.

Before you know it, it's Monday.

As soon as dawn broke, almost everyone in the international financial market focused their attention on the same thing.

That's the big vote that will be playing out tonight in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The outcome of this vote will have a tremendous, tsunami-like impact on the entire international financial market!

10:00 AM, Hong Kong Island.

Goldman Sachs Hong Kong Island branch, General Manager's office.

Lewis stared at Irwin across from him and asked expectantly:

"I'd like to confirm again, Irwin, after the $7000 billion bailout package passes the vote on Capitol Hill tonight, will the US stock market definitely rise across the board?"

"The bet we made with Yuanda Group was on the Dow Jones Industrial Average's rise or fall the day after the bailout plan was passed, but I'm flying to Beijing tomorrow to oversee the investigation into that prodigy's actions."

"Before leaving Hong Kong Island, I need to confirm this matter so I can feel at ease. I will speak with Lloyd later and inform him of the details..."

Throughout these words, Erwin maintained a smile.

A hint of disdain occasionally flashed deep in his eyes as he silently complained to himself.

Stop talking nonsense! Do you really think I'm an idiot?

You're making all this high-sounding statements, but isn't it all because you, you bastard, are secretly planning to place a huge bet that the Dow Jones index will skyrocket tomorrow? That's why you're so concerned about the market!

Even as I was about to leave Hong Kong Island, I was still worried and had to check again and again before I dared to leave with peace of mind!

That being said, wasn't that exactly what Erwin was planning?

He decided last night that after signing the betting agreement with Yuanda Group today, he would also secretly participate in the betting himself and take the opportunity to make a fortune!

After Lewis finished speaking, Irwin smiled and nodded.

"That's absolutely certain. After the $7000 billion bailout plan is passed tonight, the US stock market will definitely rise across the board, and the same goes for the entire international financial market. Market sentiment is very optimistic right now."

"To put your mind at ease, I can tell you two pieces of good news that I just received. The first piece of good news is that Congress and the White House have reached a final agreement on the bailout plan, and this news will be announced tonight."

"The agreement stipulates that the plan retains its $7000 billion size, increases tax breaks for small and medium-sized business owners and assistance for homeowners, and includes other concessions, all to ensure the bill's smooth passage to a vote."

"The second piece of news is that central banks around the world will jointly inject $3300 billion to alleviate the risk of a freeze in the money market. This news will be announced this afternoon and will also facilitate the smooth passage of the bailout plan..."

Hearing these two pieces of good news, Lewis smiled even more happily.

Just then, the general manager's secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, Yuanda Group says the signing time will be postponed until after 5 PM. They're conducting a new round of risk assessment!"
