The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In a short while, Lingyun had led his parents into the courtyard.

Perhaps startled by their footsteps, a small orange cat suddenly darted out from behind the blue and white fish tank and darted into the hanging flower gate.

Seeing this, Lingyun and his parents laughed, and his parents relaxed a little.

"Mom, you guessed right, this is indeed a newly renovated three-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house)."

Ling Yun raised his hand and pointed to the hanging flower gate in front of him, his eyebrows beaming with pride.

"It has an area of ​​1360 square meters, plus a 660-square-meter basement, complete with a gym, wine cellar, home theater, hot spring bath, and more."

"But you guessed the price wrong. I bought this courtyard for 8800 million, which is a pretty good deal..."

"Snapped!"

His mother lightly patted his arm, interrupting him.

"You brat, we don't care about how big or luxurious this courtyard house is right now."

"We've seen even more luxurious courtyard houses. How could this courtyard possibly be better than the Prince Gong's Mansion?"

Dad immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's right, what we're most concerned about now is where you got the money to buy the yard and all those luxury cars? Tell us honestly."

Ling Yun smiled slightly, took the old couple's arms, and led them toward the hanging flower gate.

"Don't worry, your son doesn't have the guts to rob a bank, nor would he do anything illegal or criminal. Every penny of my money is clean and safe."

"Since you two are in such a hurry, let's go to the living room in the north wing to resolve this issue first, and then I'll show you around the courtyard."

"Fine! I'd like to see where you're going to conjure up such a large sum of money."

Mom pinched Lingyun indignantly.

Passing through the exquisitely carved and painted hanging flower gate, the scenery of the second courtyard unfolds instantly.

A bluestone path leads straight to the north house. On the right side of the path is a grape trellis laden with fruit, and on the left side is a row of exquisite wrought iron flower stands, covered with blooming flowers.

In the center of the courtyard stands a blue-and-white porcelain gate, with a tank full of lively goldfish, and a few bowl lotus flowers dotting the surface of the water, creating a charming scene.

Further ahead is a set of carved white marble table and chairs. In front of the north door are two large trees, a pomegranate tree and a crabapple tree, with lush branches and leaves.

My parents stared wide-eyed, and subconsciously slowed their pace.

They were about to express their admiration when they remembered that they hadn't done their business yet, and their hearts jumped into their throats again!

Ling Yun knew perfectly well what was going on, but didn't rush to explain. Instead, he led them straight to the north room.

Upon reaching the door, he took the black file bag from his father's hand, retrieved the key from it, opened the door, and led his parents inside.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a lavishly furnished living room, measuring a full 80 square meters, far exceeding the size of the north-facing room in a typical courtyard house.

The living room is fully equipped with a sofa, coffee table, carpet, various exquisite decorations, a large-screen TV, central air conditioning, and other top-notch amenities.

Seeing the scene in the living room, Mom and Dad were shocked once again.

"You brat, didn't you just buy this courtyard house? How come it's fully furnished and equipped with all the furniture and appliances?"

"Hehe, I'll explain later. You two please sit on the sofa for a while. I'll go to the study to get a few things and be right back."

After saying this with a smile, Ling Yun turned and went to the study.

My parents couldn't sit still!

They exchanged a glance, their eyes shining as they began their tour, marveling at everything they saw.

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun came out of the study, carrying a large black file bag.

"Dad, Mom, let's sit down and talk. What I'm about to say is quite shocking, so it's safer for us to sit on the sofa."

Upon hearing this, the elderly couple became even more curious.

They came over and sat on the sofa, looking curiously at the large file folder in Ling Yun's hand.

Ling Yun slowly opened the file folder and began taking things out.

First, he pulled out several real estate transaction contracts, then contracts and payment receipts for the purchase of several luxury cars, followed by a bunch of keys and access cards, etc.

Finally, they took out several bank cards, including two black cards.

As he pulled out so many things from the large file bag like Doraemon, his parents' eyes widened in disbelief.

Just as they were about to ask questions, Lingyun suddenly picked up a Bank of China card and placed it in front of his mother.

"Mom, this is a bank card I opened for you using your household registration booklet and ID card. There are 500 million yuan in the account. Please keep it safe!"

As he spoke, he picked up another Bank of China card and placed it in front of his father.

"Dad, this is the bank card opened using your household registration book and ID card. It also has 500 million yuan in deposits. Please keep it safe."

The air froze instantly!

The elderly couple sat frozen on the sofa, their bodies trembling slightly uncontrollably, their four eyes fixed on the two bank cards on the coffee table.

They had lived for over fifty years and had never seen so much money before, to the point that they could hardly believe their ears.

After a long while, Mom shakily picked up the bank card in front of her, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Ten billion? You're not using us as bait, are you? What's going on? You almost gave us a heart attack!"

"Tell us the truth, where did you get such a large sum of money? If you can't give us a clear explanation, we won't accept these two bank cards."

My father looked solemn, and his voice trembled slightly.

"You two can rest assured, this huge sum of money came from a completely clean source and there are no problems whatsoever."

Ling Yun smiled and reassured him.

"Well, about two months ago, something like this happened at our company..."

He recounted in detail the events that had occurred during this period.

I didn't tell my parents the details of the transaction.

Some of these things, my parents know a thing or two about, while others are hearing about for the first time.

As Lingyun explained, the parents' emotions fluctuated, sometimes filled with anxiety, sometimes with sighs, and sometimes with a sense of relief.

I heard some infuriating things, such as Li Wen's parents causing trouble at the company, and her mother getting so angry that she slapped her thigh and cursed loudly.

After Lingyun finished speaking, his parents breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed!

Realizing that their son was already a billionaire with a net worth of nearly two billion, they were thrilled and filled with pride.

Holding the bank card that Lingyun had given them, Dad and Mom were overjoyed, stroking it gently as if it were a priceless treasure.

The next moment, Mom wiped away her tears and handed the bank card to Lingyun.

"Son, we understand your filial piety, but we don't need that much money. We can't even use one percent of it."

"You can keep this money. You're going to start an investment company, right? This will come in handy."

My dad nodded in agreement and handed over his bank card as well.

"That's right, we'll be retired in a few years. How much money can we possibly spend on daily necessities like food, clothing, and housing? You can take this huge sum of money back..."

Before his father could finish speaking, Lingyun smiled and shook his head.

"Dad, Mom, I'm entrusting this billion to you for two reasons."

"The first reason is that no matter what happens in the future, this huge sum of money will ensure that our family's quality of life doesn't decline. After all, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!"

He paused, his expression turning serious.

"The second reason is related to my work; I work in financial investment, which involves huge risks!"

"Especially in high-risk investments like futures and forex, there's always the risk of making a wrong judgment and losing everything!"

"In the event of a margin call, not only will the funds in your account be wiped out instantly, but funds in other personal bank accounts may also be frozen."

"Therefore, we must plan ahead and take precautions to isolate risks in advance. The best way to do this is to transfer some assets to your name."

"This billion is just the beginning. In the future, I will periodically transfer large sums of investment profits to your names, and the amount will definitely be even larger."

"In this way, even if I encounter a margin call or the company goes bankrupt in the future, I will have the capital to make a comeback..."

After hearing his explanation, his parents finally understood.

They exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

"So that's what you were planning, kid. That's a good arrangement. In that case, we'll accept this huge sum!"

"Plan before you act, good job. If you're always this cautious, you won't run into any major problems."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded, then changed the subject and began to give his parents an investment lesson.

Let them invest that billion instead of keeping it in the bank to earn interest, because that might attract the covetous eyes of certain individuals.

The investment targets are very clear: key school district properties in Haidian and Xicheng districts, and stocks of major state-owned listed companies, allowing investors to sit back and enjoy dividends every year.

These two high-quality assets have basically corrected to their bottom, and now is the perfect time to buy at the bottom!

The elderly couple wholeheartedly supported his decision.

After finishing the investment class, Lingyun picked up the real estate transaction contracts and the other bank cards and explained the situation.

He put the large courtyard house in his mother's name, and also bought a luxury villa in each of his parents' names near Chaoyang Park.

He owns only one property, a 520-square-meter penthouse duplex located in Financial Street.

If he establishes a financial investment company in the future, he will definitely set up his office in Financial Street, which would be more convenient.

Those bank cards are used to spread funds, while the two black cards are for my parents' daily expenses.

Hearing these arrangements, Mom and Dad were a little overwhelmed, but they felt more at ease.

Just then, Ling Yun's phone rang.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID, discovering it was Chairman Zhao calling.

He then got up, walked to the side, and began answering the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Chairman Zhao's solemn voice came through.

"Is that you, Xiaoling?"

"Hello, Chairman Zhao, it's me."

Ling Yun responded with a smile.

The next moment, Chairman Zhao delivered some less pleasant news.

"Xiao Ling, your identity has been exposed. Goldman Sachs is aware of your existence. You should be prepared!"

"Oh! It's been exposed so quickly, what exactly happened?"

Ling Yun's expression suddenly turned cold.
