The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After finishing his call with President Chen, Ling Yun stood there for a moment, thinking, before walking towards Building 6.

In a short while, he had arrived downstairs.

Just as he was about to take out his keys to open the unit door, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait a minute, Lingyun."

Ling Yun raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Li Wen, who was a few meters away.

Looking at that aloof face that he had kissed countless times, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Hey! I remember you said last week when you were moving your things that we'd never see each other again. What's wrong? Did you end up with compensation for emotional distress? Or did you get a 'Do Not Disturb' sign from your ex?"

That heartless scumbag still has such a foul mouth!

Li Wen cursed under her breath in frustration, feeling an itch in her teeth.

The next moment, she shook her head.

"I'm not here to collect anything. I have something to ask you: what happened to Guo Zirong? Was he arrested?"

"His mother called me this afternoon crying, saying he hadn't been home for ten days, and also his uncle, and asked me to ask you about it..."

"Stop right there!"

Ling Yun raised his hand to interrupt her, his tone becoming even colder.

"I can't reveal a single word about Guo Zirong and his uncle. All I can say is they brought this upon themselves!"

"I know you're neighbors, but I advise you not to get involved in this, lest you get yourself into trouble."

"what!"

Li Wen was startled and couldn't help but take a half step back.

Just as she was about to ask for the reason, Ling Yun didn't give her the chance and directly changed the subject.

"I heard your family is planning to immigrate to Canada. I advise you to think carefully. Isn't this like joining the Nationalist army in 49?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward and lowered his voice even further.

"Are you planning to sell your old house in Jing'an District? If you really do, you'll regret it!"

"China today is like the rising sun, radiant with boundless light, while Western countries like Canada are like the setting sun..."

When he mentioned immigration, Li Wen visibly panicked.

One of the reasons she broke up with Lingyun was her plan to immigrate with her family.

More importantly, Guo Zirong sent her a message saying that Ling Yun might go to jail for violating investment regulations!

That's why she was determined to cut ties quickly and break up with Ling Yun.

But to everyone's surprise, Ling Yun was completely unharmed, while Guo Zirong and his uncle were arrested and have not been heard from since!

The plot twist is more exciting than a TV drama!

How did you know my family was planning to emigrate? Who told you?

Li Wen's voice trembled slightly, and she subconsciously felt waves of shame.

Ling Yun shook his head, giving him a knowing look.

"How I know this isn't important. What's important is how your family chooses. I'm only reminding you because we've shared a bed for over three years."

Li Wen blushed instantly and raised her hand to scratch him.

"Go to hell, you filthy scoundrel!"

Just then, an Audi in the distance suddenly honked its horn.

The car window immediately opened, revealing a face that looked sophisticated but was full of disdain and contempt.

Ling Yun glanced over there and teased in a low voice:

"Your parents are still the same as before, watching you so closely, they're really going to turn you into an old maid!"

"I won't go say hello, lest we both find each other unpleasant to look at. See you later!"

After saying that, he casually opened the unit door and went inside.

Looking at his back, which seemed to have matured a lot, Li Wen was a little stunned.

She noticed that Ling Yun seemed to have changed, becoming more composed and mature, and even somewhat detached!

"Darling, get in the car and let's go."

Hearing her mother urging her, Li Wen turned and left.

As soon as she got into the car, her mother asked:

"Darling, what did this little rascal say? Why were Zirong and his uncle arrested?"

Following closely behind, her father also asked a couple of questions.

Li Wen looked at her parents and shook her head helplessly.

"Ling Yun didn't say why they were arrested, only that they brought it on themselves, and warned us not to get involved, lest we get ourselves into trouble!"

"Can you guys please stop calling Ling Yun 'little bastard' and 'country bumpkin'? It sounds awful! What era are we living in? Stop with this regional discrimination!"

Her parents exchanged a glance and quickly reached an agreement.

"It seems Zirong and the others have indeed gotten themselves into big trouble. Our family shouldn't get involved. Let's leave it at that."

"As for that brat Ling Yun, we've always disliked him. Even if he lives in the Forbidden City, he's still a brat!"

As they were talking, Li Wen's father started the engine and drove away from the building.

After the car drove out of the residential area, Li Wen looked at the houses on the street and suddenly said:

"Dad, Mom, and Lingyun just reminded me to carefully consider selling the house and immigrating to Canada."

Before she could finish speaking, her parents burst into laughter.

"What's there to consider? People strive for better things, water flows downhill, what does this little brat know!"

Seeing her parents' attitude, Li Wen had no choice but to shut up.

The next moment, she suddenly remembered Ling Yun's words, "I joined the National Revolutionary Army in 49," and felt a strange sense of panic in her heart!

This family, who were looking forward to a wonderful immigrant life, had no idea what the future held!

They could never have imagined that the spiritual home they so longed for would one day become a public toilet for countless "three brothers and sisters"!

Friday, 4 PM.

Company conference room.

Ling Yun knocked on the door and walked in, looking quite relaxed.

He's not exactly relaxed. It's trading time, and all his colleagues are incredibly busy, while the four people in his group are doing absolutely nothing.

They're either hiding in the meeting room playing cards, chatting and joking around, or wandering around like street urchins!

In the conference room.

The group's investment director and General Manager Chen were chatting with three heavyweight investors over tea.

As Ling Yun entered, they immediately stopped talking and all looked at him!

"Hello Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen, and all the bosses. What brings you here?"

Lingyun took the initiative to greet him.

Mr. Wang put down his teacup and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, Lingyun, please sit down and let's chat for a while."

He is the group's investment director and didn't know Ling Yun before, as their job levels are too different.

But because of this incident, all the senior executives at the group headquarters remembered Ling Yun's name, including President Wang.

Following suit, Mr. Chen and the three investors nodded in agreement.

Ling Yun casually pulled out a chair and sat down opposite him.

After a few casual words, Mr. Wang took the initiative to get to the point.

"Ling Yun, the internal investigation into this incident will be concluded soon."

"But your investment team needs to be disbanded, and you will be joining other teams. What are your opinions on this?"

"Before resuming work, the company will give you a period of leave. Take a few days to rest well before you come back to work."

Sure enough!

Ling Yun was prepared. He smiled and responded immediately.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wang. After this near-death experience, I have lost all interest in working at the company and plan to resign and go home to rest for a while."

"I will never work for anyone again in my life, because I can't predict whether the next boss and colleague I encounter will be a good person or a bad one!"

"As for Zhou Hua and the others, I believe the company will make reasonable arrangements. They are very capable and will definitely be able to make greater contributions to the company..."

"Are you resigning?"

President Chen immediately became anxious and interrupted before Ling Yun could finish speaking.

"This incident wasn't your fault, so why are you resigning? Shouldn't you reconsider?"

"You have a real talent for futures trading; you're definitely one of the best among all the traders in the company."

"You've performed exceptionally well these past two months, and I'm even planning to promote you to investment manager, giving you a higher salary and more authority."

Ling Yun looked at President Chen and shook his head again.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Chen, but I have compelling reasons to resign!"

"Given that I previously installed a hidden camera in Fang Changhai's office, I ask you, which CEO in the group would dare to hire me as a subordinate?"

"what!"

Both President Wang and President Chen were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

They instantly realized that Ling Yun was right.

Everyone has secrets, and the financial world is notoriously messy when it comes to relationships between men and women!

There aren't many bosses in the group who would dare to take on this young master, and I wouldn't dare either!

Even the compliance department probably wouldn't dare.

If the compliance department were to accept him, many of them would lose sleep over it!

Just as Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen were having some doubts, one of the investors suddenly said:

"Xiaoling, if you resign from Yuanda Futures, what will happen to the huge losses we've suffered?"
