The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Although the text of the financial summit declaration and action plan was successfully formulated during this closed-door consultation, it was not immediately released.

Instead, they plan to officially announce it when the summit concludes tomorrow.

In light of this, all delegations chose to keep the summit declaration and action plan confidential when interviewed by the media.

Of course, this kind of secrecy is only in form, and it is difficult to achieve true and strict secrecy.

In fact, less than half an hour after the closed-door consultations ended, many top news media outlets, including The New York Times, obtained the summit declaration and action plan annex through various channels.

Then it was released at lightning speed, just to grab the headlines!

The release of this major news immediately caused quite a stir in the international financial markets.

Fortunately, when the news broke, the international financial markets had already entered the weekend break period, and there was no immediate market volatility!

Regardless of whether the market reacts well or poorly, we'll have to wait until Monday's opening to find out the results.

The leak did not surprise any party at all.

Among the delegations participating in the closed-door consultations were many senior executives and experts from various financial institutions; it would be strange if they didn't leak information!

After leaving the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., Lingyun returned to the hotel with everyone else.

When the convoy arrived at the hotel entrance, he made a point of scanning the street in front of the hotel.

As Deputy Director Zhang told him in the morning, the black van that Li Wen's parents had hidden among them had disappeared!

It's likely that those bastards at Goldman Sachs finally realized that trying to contact them and then blackmail them through this method has absolutely no chance of success.

That's why I changed my mind and had someone take Li Wen's parents away from here.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun shook his head dismissively.

As they were talking, the convoy stopped in front of the hotel.

Once the scene was deemed safe, everyone got out of the car and went into the hotel.

Vice President Wang, along with Minister Xie and Director Li from the Ministry of Finance, paused briefly in the lobby to give an exclusive interview to a CCTV reporter.

After returning to her floor, Ling Yun tidied up her room briefly.

Then we left the room and went to the conference room for a debriefing meeting to review and summarize today's meeting agenda and multilateral talks.

When he entered the conference room, Vice President Wang and the others had not yet arrived, so everyone took the opportunity to rest for a while and chat.

Upon seeing him enter, Deputy Director Zhang immediately came to his side and whispered some updates to him.

"Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street financial institutions, seeing that they couldn't reach you, changed their tactics and leaked your identity information and some of your investment performance to the media."

"They gave you the title of a newly crowned investment guru, and then used some well-known news media to hype you up—it's a bit like praising you to death!"

"As expected, your name and photo will be all over the world tomorrow. It will be much more difficult for you to pretend to be weak and deceive others in the future. You should be prepared for that."

"Tch! These scoundrels, all they know is dirty tricks that can't be played in public."

Ling Yun gave a disdainful sneer, then nodded slightly.

"I understand. I'll be careful of those bastards who will stop at nothing for profit. Don't worry, I have ways to deal with them!"

"In fact, I noticed something was wrong outside the main venue that evening. Someone actually asked me, a professional financial translator, a question—clearly, they had ulterior motives!"

"But it's alright. I'll meet force with force and water with water. No matter which god tries to scheme against me, I'll knock out all their teeth!"

"Haha, that's the spirit I've been looking for!"

Deputy Director Zhang patted his arm with a smile, then changed the subject.

"There's one more thing. Goldman Sachs should have realized by now that trying to blackmail you using your ex-girlfriend's parents is completely useless!"

"They've taken that snobbish couple away. Given this situation, your ex-girlfriend's parents might be in danger. What are your plans to do?"

Ling Yun paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly with a gloomy face.

"To put it bluntly, this couple's life or death has absolutely nothing to do with me. If they were driven to their deaths by Goldman Sachs, I wouldn't even blink an eye!"

"Back then, in order to get the money to immigrate to Canada, they not only forced Li Wen to break up with me, but also planned to extort a large sum of money from me, which almost ruined them!"

"Now they've finally achieved their goal of immigrating to Canada, but they've ended up working for a tiger and becoming tools for Goldman Sachs. They're incredibly stupid!"

"Without a second thought, once Goldman Sachs discovers they have no further use, they will absolutely not let them off the hook. We can use this to our advantage to counter Goldman Sachs..."

At this point, he suddenly lowered his voice even further, leaned close to Deputy Director Zhang's ear, and began to speak in this manner.

After hearing just a few words, Deputy Director Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened even more.

After he finished explaining his impromptu plan, Deputy Director Zhang gave him a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration!

"Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Goldman Sachs has spun its own cocoon!..."

Just then, Vice President Wang and his team pushed open the door and entered the conference room to begin a debriefing meeting.

Ling Yun and Deputy Director Zhang immediately stopped talking and stood up to look at Vice President Wang and the others.

Five minutes later, the debriefing meeting officially began.

The meeting didn't end until 11:30 p.m.

Ling Yun dragged his tired body back to his room to wash up and rest.

Upon entering the guest room, he first took off his suit and shirt, leaving only his underwear on, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

About fifteen minutes later, Ling Yun finished showering and returned to the bedroom, heading straight for the bed in the center of the room.

He went to the bedside, picked up his cell phone which was lying on the bed, and turned it on, even though it had been off all day.

As soon as it was turned on, it started making a series of loud, crackling noises.

My phone suddenly popped up with more than a dozen missed calls and more than a dozen unread text messages.

These missed calls came from my mother, Da Meiyuan and her friends, Zhou Hua and some other friends, and two calls from Li Wen.

The situation was similar with more than a dozen unread text messages, from various sources, four of which were sent by Li Wen.

Clearly, Lingyun has already made quite a stir at the Global Financial Summit today!

Fortunately, he changed his phone number before he came out this time, so not many people know this number, otherwise his phone would have been ringing off the hook!

Ling Yun quickly scrolled through the missed calls and unread text messages to see who was so concerned about her.

Immediately afterwards, he casually opened the first text message Li Wen sent and started reading it.

"Yunzi, my parents went to Washington, probably because of you. They know you went to Washington with a delegation to attend the Global Financial Summit!"

"They will likely contact you. Whatever they ask, ignore them and don't meet with them!"

"Don't give them any financial assistance because of me. It's a bottomless pit. Having parents like that is utterly shameful!"

Upon seeing this text message, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

Well! This couple is almost losing their own precious daughter; they've truly been abandoned by everyone!

After making a couple of complaints, he opened the other three text messages sent by Li Wen and read them one by one.

"Why is your phone always off? Is there a confidentiality rule that prohibits the use of personal mobile phones during the summit? That's even better!"

"My parents just called and said they're outside the hotel where the delegation is staying. They told me to call you and beg you to let them meet with us. Please, whatever you do, don't pay them any attention!"

"Yunzi, I suddenly can't contact my parents. Their phones are switched off. I hope something has happened to them?"

"Could you ask someone to help you find out? No matter how many mistakes they've made, they're still my parents, and I don't want to see anything happen to them."

Upon seeing the last message, Ling Yun couldn't help but frown slightly.

After a moment's hesitation, he quickly replied with a message.

"Wenwen, I just want to ask you one thing: have they cancelled their citizenship?"
