The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

It was 3 a.m. in the second bedroom.

The lights were still on, but the sound of typing had disappeared.

Ling Yun gently rubbed his throbbing temples a few times and saved the last piece of analysis data.

On the computer screen, the hedging strategy that Goldman Sachs had meticulously crafted was marked "completely" with red marks.

"What a damn bastard, what a treacherous heart he harbors!"

Ling Yun sneered and cursed.

"Unfortunately, you've run into me; your conspiracy is doomed to fail."

This seemingly professional fuel hedging strategy actually hides a dangerous trap.

Like a seemingly peaceful game of chess, but with undercurrents surging beneath, every move points to the same goal.

The raid targeted several state-owned airlines, including Air China.

Lingyun carefully dissected every clause of the hedging strategy and reviewed it word by word.

Like a highly skilled surgeon, precisely peeling away the glamorous disguise to reveal the bloody trap beneath!

Lingyun finally collapsed onto the bed when her eyelids started to droop.

Before going to sleep, he muttered something to himself.

"The battle has only just begun; it must continue until dawn."

Monday morning.

In the living room.

My mom, wearing a long blue dress and carrying a Chanel CF bag, gracefully turned around in front of the full-length mirror, looking absolutely stunning.

"Stop showing off, or the soy milk and fried dough sticks will get cold."

My dad sat at the dining table, holding half a fried dough stick in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.

"I practiced these gestures for half an hour before bed last night, and I'm doing it again this morning. It really is a cure-all!"

"What do you know?"

Mom raised her chin and retorted with great enthusiasm.

"Am I showing off because of this bag? I'm doing this because of my son's filial piety, okay!"

"I brought this bag to work today, saying it was a gift from my son. I guarantee Liu Meiting and Wang Yan will be incredibly envious."

"Hahaha, stop it now!"

My dad almost spat out his soy milk on the table and quickly waved his hand.

"Didn't you say before that Sister Liu's son and daughter were fighting so fiercely over her old house that they almost beat each other to a pulp?"

"If you go to Sister Liu now and show off the bag your son gave you as a gift, isn't that just rubbing salt into her wounds...?"

As they were talking, Ling Yun opened the bedroom door, rubbing his sleepy eyes as he came out.

Then I saw my mom admiring herself in the mirror, and she started showering me with compliments.

"Mom, you look beautiful today. This dress and your bag match perfectly; you look radiant and stunning."

"Listen to that, our son has good taste."

Mom's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"but……"

Ling Yun suddenly changed the subject.

"It's best not to wear this Patek Philippe rose gold watch to work. Although the archives may seem like a low-level department, it's still part of the system."

"More importantly, none of the people in your department are easy to deal with. Don't let them spread rumors about you again, or even write anonymous letters to report you."

Dad smiled and nodded, adding a few words of agreement.

"My son is right. How much do we earn in a month? It would be too conspicuous to show off at work wearing a luxury watch worth four or five hundred thousand!"

"Which of those 'aunties' in your unit are easy to deal with? Back in the day, they even made a scene with the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee in charge of housing allocation. Haven't you written countless anonymous whistleblower letters over the years?"

My mother's face darkened, and her eyes widened instantly.

"They wouldn't dare! Anyone who dares to spread rumors and slander against me, I'll tear their mouth apart!"

Despite saying that, Mom gently stroked the Patek Philippe rose gold watch and reluctantly took it off.

Seeing that the reminder had worked, Ling Yun smiled and went into the bathroom to wash up.

My mother works at the municipal archives. Because of her low educational background, although she has worked there for a long time, she only holds the nominal title of deputy section chief. However, she is a genuine civil servant of the municipal party committee.

Lingyun didn't want to see the watch scandal and smile scandal, which were supposed to happen in two years, happen to her mother prematurely.

Although the Patek Philippe watch was a gift from me, and the income was clean, I still need to be mindful of the potential impact.

In two years, when Mom retires, I won't have to worry about these things anymore.

Before long, Lingyun finished washing up and went into the restaurant to eat.

As soon as he sat down, his mother immediately put a fried dough stick on his plate.

"Didn't you just quit your job? How come you're already working until midnight after only two days back home?"

Ling Yun took the fried dough stick, took a bite, and mumbled a few words of explanation.

"It's not related to my original company, but another job—analyzing a futures trading strategy for another company. I'm helping a friend out!"

"There's something I forgot to mention yesterday: although I've resigned from the company, I still have a cooperative relationship with Yuanta Group!"

In short, I helped Yuanda Group develop securities and futures trading strategies, and Yuanda Group gave me a share of the profits according to the agreed ratio.

"In other words, I can earn a substantial income working from home from now on, so you don't need to worry about me finding a job."

My parents exchanged a glance and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It sounds great to make money while lying at home, but wouldn't that make it easy to become complacent?"

"That's right, people are prone to laziness. You're only in your twenties; it's not time to give up yet."

Ling Yun swallowed the fried dough stick in his mouth and picked up the bowl to drink some sweet soy milk.

Then he smacked his lips, and shook his head with a smile.

"Who says I'm going to just give up? I have futures and securities qualifications, and since I don't work for a futures company now, I can open my own account to trade futures and stocks."

"Maybe I'll start a financial investment company someday, and never work for others again. If I'm going to do anything, it'll be working for myself..."

Next, Lingyun briefly explained his plan.

My parents don't understand financial investments; they're just listening for the spectacle.

Even so, Ling Yun still had to say something to put their minds at ease.

After breakfast, Mom drove to work.

Half an hour later, Dad went to school with his bag.

Although it's summer vacation now, as a teacher of a graduating class of junior high school students, he can't be idle during the summer vacation.

Lingyun went downstairs for more than half an hour, then returned home and went into his study to continue exposing Goldman Sachs' conspiracies and writing analysis materials.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

East Gate of Renmin University.

Ling Yun, carrying a backpack, stood on the sidewalk to the right of the entrance, looking like a street urchin, constantly sizing up the beautiful women from Renmin University who were coming and going.

Just then, an Audi A6 drove in from the north and stopped in the temporary parking space at the entrance of Renmin University.

Immediately afterwards, Secretary Zhou opened the car door and got out, waving to Lingyun.

"Here, Lingyun."

"I see you, I'm coming right away."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement.

Then, he let a car that was driving out of the school pass by and walked quickly toward Secretary Zhou.

When he came closer, Secretary Zhou teased in a low voice:

"Are you seeing things? The beauties at Renmin University are very famous; they're both talented and beautiful!"

"Haha, I'm just doing on-site market research."

Ling Yun replied jokingly.

As he spoke, he opened his backpack, took out a thick file folder, and handed it over.

"I have thoroughly exposed Goldman Sachs' hedging strategy. Those bastards are truly ruthless; they've set up many insidious traps within this hedging strategy."

Secretary Zhou took the file bag with a solemn expression.

"Is the situation serious?"

"Um!"

Ling Yun nodded vigorously and briefly explained the situation.

"I wouldn't dare say I've found all the traps, but I've definitely identified most of them and developed basic countermeasures."

"These pitfalls I've identified alone are enough to make several airlines, including Air China, decide to either quickly terminate this hedging strategy or plan a counterattack!"

"The document bag contains paper documents and a USB drive. Please give it to Mr. Kong. I've sent him an email with backups; please remind him to check it."

Secretary Zhou hefted the heavy file bag and murmured a few words of reflection.

"I never expected Goldman Sachs to be harboring such malicious intentions. I must be extremely cautious when cooperating with these foreign institutions in the future."

"Your efficiency is truly amazing! You broke down such a complex hedging strategy in just one day. You're much better than those people in the airline investment department!"

Ling Yun chuckled and exchanged a few polite words.

"You flatter me. Everyone has their own expertise. If you asked me to do flight scheduling, I'd be completely clueless."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Secretary Zhou got into his car and left.

Ling Yun carried her backpack and walked towards the pedestrian overpass, intending to go to the Contemporary Mall on the other side.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the seventh floor of the Contemporary Building and swayed his shoulders as he walked into a high-end restaurant.

Then, guided by the waiter, I went straight to the door of a private room deep inside the restaurant, knocked, and went inside.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yanzi.

Next to Yanzi sat another beautiful woman, who was making a phone call while casually glancing at the street scene outside.

Upon seeing the beautiful woman's profile, Ling Yun froze on the spot, then his eyes lit up with surprise!

How could it be her? Dude, are you seeing things?
