The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Around 11 p.m., Ling Yun arranged for a vehicle and bodyguards to take Yang Mi and the others back to the Beijing Film Academy.

Back in her dorm room, after closing the door, Yuan Shan immediately asked curiously:

"What happened? Mimi, ever since you secretly talked to Chairman Ling, you've looked so preoccupied."

"Could it be that Chairman Ling made some unreasonable demands, which is why you're acting like this? Tell us the details!"

Unsurprisingly, her words immediately ignited a fire of gossip.

Jiao Junyan and Zhang Xiaofei quickly gathered around Yang Mi, chattering and asking her about the situation.

"Quickly tell everyone, Mimi, is Chairman Ling eyeing you? Why don't you just go along with him? It'd be good for everyone!"

"Exactly! If you really become Chairman Ling's girlfriend, you'll have access to all sorts of top-tier resources and opportunities!"

"When that time comes, you mustn't forget us sisters. My requirements aren't high; I just want to be the lead actress in a big-budget film or television drama!"

"Get lost! Do you really think I'm a vixen?"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes in annoyance and gave Yuan Shan a light push.

"I don't believe you didn't notice, Sister Yanzi and Sister Leilei are both Lingyun's girlfriends, and even Jia Jingwen is his woman!"

"I don't want to be a moth drawn to a flame with such a super womanizing guy. If you don't mind, you can go after him..."

She paused for a moment after saying this.

After a moment's hesitation, he then gave the reason for his thoughtful expression.

"I have something to tell you, but you must keep it a secret. Don't spread it around. If Ling Yun finds out, we'll all be in trouble."

"I only found out tonight that Sister Yanzi and Sister Leilei are both super-rich women with assets worth billions, the kind who could be in the top 100 of the Forbes list."

"Their enormous wealth was all earned by Ling Yun. As for Ling Yun, his net worth is estimated to far exceed that of the number one person on the Forbes list..."

"My goodness, that's outrageous!"

With a gasp, the women were stunned into silence.

In Dongsi, in Yanzi's large courtyard house.

Ling Yun, who had just finished packing his things and was about to leave, suddenly reached out and touched his ear.

"Hey, who's whispering behind my back again, buddy? I wonder if they're saying something nice or mean?"

Jia Jingwen turned to look at him, and said with a charming smile:

"It must be Mimi and the others. Those girls were really shocked tonight. It would be strange if they didn't talk about it when they got back to the dorm."

"That's true, especially with that girl Yang Mi. She's always been a bit of a worry, and it's uncertain whether she'll be able to sleep tonight."

Yanzi laughed and made a few sarcastic remarks.

As they were talking, they all stepped into the elevator and went down to the basement.

Five or six minutes later, the convoy drove out of the garage and headed straight for the luxury villa near Chaoyang Park.

It was around 12:30 a.m. at this time.

As night deepened, the bustling capital city finally quieted down after a day of noise.

In a short while, the convoy drove onto the North Second Ring Road, then turned right and sped eastward along the Second Ring Road.

As they were walking, Lingyun's phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, then put his index finger to his lips and shushed them softly.

"Keep quiet, it's work-related, there seems to be some unexpected incident."

"Okay, you can answer the phone."

The three beautiful women in the van nodded in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Ling Yun smiled and then answered the phone.

The next moment, Mr. Chen from CIC Group spoke excitedly.

"Did I disturb your rest, Lingyun? There's some exciting news. Chairman Lou asked me to inform you and get your feedback."

"I'm currently driving on the Second Ring Road, heading home to rest. Tell me what good news I have."

Ling Yun responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, President Chen immediately got to the point.

"That's right, an explosive rumor has just broken in the US stock market that the US government is preparing to bail out several of the largest bond insurance companies."

"The rumored bailout measures include capital injections, guarantees, and asset stripping. If the news is true, this bailout would be at least hundreds of billions of dollars."

"Spurred by this explosive news, the US stock market has shown signs of rebounding, with financial stocks, which had previously suffered the most severe declines, leading the rebound."

"Around 10:30 PM, when the US stock market plummeted to -4.5%, we successfully closed our positions and switched from short to long positions around 11:00 PM..."

It finally arrived! This is exactly what I've been waiting for!

Ling Yun muttered a curse to himself, then pretended to be excited and took over the conversation.

"Great! The US government is really cooperating, actually unleashing such a powerful move at this time to help us reap another huge harvest!"

"Bond insurers in the U.S. financial market were a key part of the subprime crisis, as they provided guarantees for trillions of dollars in subprime contracts."

"Bond insurers must not go bankrupt, otherwise it will lead to a chain reaction of huge losses for many banks, insurance companies, pension funds, etc., triggering a second financial tsunami."

"If the US government really intervenes to bail out these bond insurers, it will definitely trigger a chain reaction, and the deep V-shaped reversal I've been talking about will come very soon."

"Now that this news has broken, regardless of whether this bailout expectation will materialize, the stocks of several of the largest bond insurers in the US stock market will surge tonight."

"This is an opportunity we can't miss. Immediately relay my trading instructions to go long on several of the largest bond insurers, but you must act quickly and withdraw just as fast..."

As he said this, the three beautiful women looked at him with shining eyes, each one filled with infatuation and adoration.

Zhong Tao, who was driving the luxury van, did not hear these words because there was a partition between them.

Two or three minutes later, Ling Yun adjusted his investment strategy and casually hung up the phone.

Then I sent a text message to Chairman Zhao, asking Yuanda Investment to follow up quickly and not miss this opportunity.

Then I sent a text message to Deputy Director Zhang, explaining the matter.

After sending two text messages, Lingyun put away her phone.

Only at this moment did the three beautiful women, who had remained silent until now, let out a series of exclamations.

"Honey, you look so handsome when you're focused on your work! You have that air of strategizing and winning from afar!"

"You're more than just handsome, you're absolutely radiant! You were absolutely captivating just now!"

"Hahaha"

Ling Yun chuckled and made a few lighthearted jokes.

"They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that's exactly what's going on with you guys. I look handsome no matter what!"

"What I just said is for you to know, but don't tell anyone else."

"Tonight's golden opportunity can bring you substantial investment profits and make you even wealthier!"

The three beauties exchanged glances and nodded excitedly in unison.

"Okay, darling, we promise to keep this strictly confidential and will never leak it!"

They were naturally delighted to learn that they would make a fortune again tonight.

Because they were in the car, Lingyun didn't teach them about financial matters. Instead, he changed the subject and started talking about Yanzi's large courtyard house.

A dozen minutes later, the convoy returned safely to the villa community.

As soon as he entered, Ling Yun immediately said:

"You all pack your things and go upstairs to rest first. I'll go to my study to check on the international financial market situation before I rest."

After saying that, he quickly changed into his slippers and strode towards the stairwell.

Behind him, Yanzi and the others changed into slippers one by one, walked out of the hall, and went upstairs.

It wasn't until around 1:15 a.m. that Ling Yun came out of the study, preparing to go back to the master bedroom to rest.

As he walked into the master bedroom, he saw it right away.

Yanzi was wearing a white shirt, her two long, beautiful legs were bare, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

Upon seeing this, Ling Yun's eyes lit up.

Yanzi smiled sweetly, took long strides, and walked into the bathroom.

The next instant, she suddenly peeked out from the bathroom and gave her a charming and seductive wink.

"You've seen your character before!"
