As expected, the US stock market, which opened in the evening, began an even more violent wave of plunges.

The three major U.S. stock indexes all opened sharply lower, instantly triggering a crash in the international financial markets, with European stock markets subsequently experiencing even steeper declines.

In just one hour, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell below -6%, the S&P 500 fell below -7%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell by more than -7%, with the entire market in a state of panic.

The financial sector continued to decline the fastest and with the largest drop, falling so drastically it was almost unbearable to look at.

In just one hour, the market capitalization of the US stock market evaporated by more than one trillion US dollars, setting the second-highest record in history.

But this is just the beginning; the night is far from over!

Seeing that the US stock market had indeed plummeted as expected, and there was no possibility of a deep V-shaped rebound, Ling Yun finally felt relieved and left the CIC headquarters to go home and rest.

When he got home, it was around 11 p.m.

Da Meiyuan, who stayed here last night, is going home tonight to visit her parents, talk to them, and give them a heads-up.

Instead, it was Leilei's turn; it was her turn to accompany Lingyun today.

In addition, Alyssa Chia still lives here.

This Saturday, her mother will fly to Beijing with her daughter to live with her from now on.

At that time, she was just like Da Meiyuan and the others, unable to accompany Lingyun every day.

Upon seeing Ling Yun return, Lei Lei, dressed in a sexy nightgown, rushed into his arms like a joyful little bird.

Amy Chia followed behind, continuing to play the role of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

After some affection, Lingyun put his arm around Leilei's waist and they walked into the living room together, where they sat down on the sofa.

As soon as she sat down, Leilei asked expectantly:

"Honey, my sister said you're planning to host my uncle and aunt at home on Saturday to discuss things with my sister."

"That's a bit unfair. We've been together for much longer than my sister. My parents haven't even had a meal with you yet!"

"Snapped!"

Ling Yun lightly patted Lei Lei's pert bottom and teased her with a smile:

"Why does that sound so sour? You're jealous, huh? I didn't expect you to be jealous of your own cousin!"

"Don't worry, I won't favor one over the other. As I said before, I'm not as busy as before, so I have more free time."

"I'm planning to invite your parents over for dinner on Sunday. Unlike Yuanyuan's situation, my parents will also be attending the meeting on Sunday, so our parents can get to know each other."

"After I meet Yuanyuan's parents on Saturday, I'll find another time to introduce my parents to them. From that perspective, you were the first..."

Before the words were even finished, Leilei was already overjoyed.

She quickly reached out and hugged Lingyun's neck, excitedly giving him a sweet kiss.

"That's wonderful, darling, you're so thoughtful! I love you so much!"

"I'll call my parents right now and tell them about it, so they can get ready. They'll be very happy."

As she spoke, she darted out of Ling Yun's arms in a flurry of activity.

Then he picked up his phone and went to call his parents.

As soon as she left, Ling Yun reached out and put his arm around Jia Jingwen, who was sitting next to him, and whispered a few words of comfort to the stunning beauty.

"Jingwen, your mother is a Taiwanese resident. My identity is sensitive and needs to be kept strictly confidential. I can't meet with her for the time being. I hope you can understand."

"I'll meet with your mother again after I finish my current task and take a break, once she's settled down and put down roots in Beijing."

Jia Jingwen looked up and kissed his cheek, then leaned closer to him and nodded gently.

"I understand, darling. You don't need to explain. I understand your decision!"

"As long as I can be with you, I'd be willing to keep it a secret from my mom, or even from the whole world!"

After chatting for a while, Leilei came back after finishing her call and told her parents about their reaction.

Needless to say, her parents were very happy and satisfied with Lingyun's arrangements.

Before we knew it, it was already around 11:30 p.m.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ling Yun first told the two beauties to go upstairs to rest, while he went to check the security system and turn off the lights.

More than ten minutes later, he went upstairs and into the master bedroom.

At this moment, Leilei had finished getting ready and was lying in bed waiting for him.

Seeing Ling Yun enter, she quickly jumped off the bed, snuggled into his arms, and said coquettishly with seductive eyes:

"Honey, my period is finally over! Today is the first day of my safe period, so you can do whatever you want!"

"But there's one thing: you have to take a shower before you can go to bed. You've worked all day and you'll smell sweaty!"

Ling Yun's eyes instantly brightened, and he nodded hastily.

"Great, baby, I'm going to take a shower now. Wait a moment, I'll be right back, and we'll go to Wushan together!"

As he spoke, he kissed Leilei's red lips.

Then, reluctantly, she loosened her slender waist and turned to walk towards the dressing room.

The following night, springtime beauty was in full bloom.

Just as Ling Yun was enjoying his newfound happiness, the international financial market was experiencing a violent storm, with bloodshed and carnage everywhere!

That night, countless bulls who misjudged the market trend and believed that the financial crisis was over and that the international financial market would bottom out and rebound suffered a bloodbath!

Countless investors have lost everything overnight, some even ending up on rooftops!

Thursday, after daybreak, saw the international financial markets become even more active.

At 10:30 a.m., Ling Yun arrived late, carrying a backpack as she walked into the office area of ​​the United Securities investment team.

Before he even reached the office door, he received a series of good news.

"The Japanese stock market went completely crazy this morning. Just now, due to massive sell-offs, trading in the Japanese stock market has been temporarily suspended."

"The South Korean stock market has also experienced a very dramatic drop, currently exceeding -9%, and is expected to be suspended from trading soon. How should we respond?"

"One more thing: international oil prices have officially fallen below $70, hitting a new low for the year, and are still breaking records."

Several investment directors chattered excitedly, reporting the latest developments, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

They are eager to start reaping the rewards immediately, quickly locking in the profits from this wave of comprehensive bullish reversal and avoiding any profit retracement.

As they were talking, Ling Yun had already arrived at the office door.

He then stopped and turned to look at the several investment directors who were full of expectations.

After pretending to think it over for a moment, he quickly made a decision.

"From now until Saturday morning, and even into the first two trading days of next week, international financial markets will experience severe volatility. This is the ultimate battle between the policy floor and the economic floor."

"Simply put, there are continuous favorable policies, such as joint market rescue efforts by various countries, while negative economic factors are emerging one after another, including some decisive and significant negative factors, such as various economic data surprises."

"Under these circumstances, the volatility of international financial markets could reach historical extremes, with sharp rises and falls today and even intraday swings, creating a vicious cycle."

"In view of this, we must be on high alert and act one step ahead of the market, or simply stay out of the market and observe, which is safer. Otherwise, even a slight delay in reaction can result in huge losses."

"Specifically regarding the current Asia-Pacific stock markets, such as the Japanese and South Korean stock markets, immediately close all short positions, and then go long across the board in the last half hour before the market closes..."

Next, he explained some key points of operation.

No one doubted his investment strategy, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Lingyun, we'll assign tasks immediately. Once the Japanese stock market resumes trading, we'll begin closing out the positions right away."

"I'll inform Mr. Wang immediately and have the rest of the company's investment team follow up!"
