On the other end of the phone, Chairman Zhao's voice continued, sounding full of anger.

"Xiao Ling, it was Boss Liu who betrayed you. He somehow hooked up with an investment manager at Goldman Sachs in Shanghai and casually sold your team's information."

Interestingly, he was betrayed by his beautiful secretary in the end.

"That girl secretly called Boss Wang this morning and told him that Boss Liu betrayed your team."

Ling Yun gripped his phone, his expression growing even colder.

On the other end of the phone, Chairman Zhao was still explaining the situation.

"She's no pushover either. One reason is to get revenge on Boss Liu for treating her like a plaything, and the other is to use this opportunity to pledge her allegiance to you."

"I hope that when she invests in futures and securities in the future, you can give her some guidance and help her make money. As soon as Mr. Wang heard this news, he immediately notified me."

"I've already made arrangements to have an investigation launched. I'm just calling to give you a heads-up. Be careful and don't get caught off guard."

Ling Yun remained silent for a moment, then let out a disdainful sneer.

"When dogs fight, they get all dirty. I never expected Liu to be so shameless. I guess I overestimated him!"

"But this isn't unexpected; it was bound to happen sooner or later, just sooner!"

He paused, then his tone returned to calm.

"Thank you for your concern, Chairman Zhao. I know all about Goldman Sachs' tricks, so you don't need to worry."

After saying this, Chairman Zhao sighed helplessly.

"I never expected that the person surnamed Liu would be this kind of scum. The group has decided to terminate all cooperation with him and put this bastard on the blacklist."

"Goldman Sachs will definitely contact you next, whether it's offering a high salary to win you over, discussing cooperation, or, if that fails, resorting to suppression. You need to be prepared."

Ling Yun knew exactly what Chairman Zhao was worried about, and shook his head with a light laugh.

"Rest assured, I will never join Goldman Sachs. To be precise, I will never be a pawn for any foreign financial institution."

"Our cooperation will continue and will not be interrupted by this little incident; everything will remain the same!"

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhao immediately beamed with joy.

"That's great, Xiaoling, I knew you'd make this choice."

"If Goldman Sachs gives you trouble, you can call me. This is China; they have no right to act recklessly here."

"Haha, Mr. Kong said something similar, I'll remember that."

Ling Yun responded with a smile.

They chatted for a few more minutes before ending the call.

Ling Yun put away his phone, turned around and went back to the living room, where he sat down next to his mother.

My mother immediately came over, her eyes full of concern.

"What happened? Your tone on the phone sounded off."

"It's nothing serious, just that a long-time client of my former company switched jobs to a competitor."

Ling Yun waved his hand dismissively and changed the subject with a smile.

"You two wanted to know about this large courtyard house, right? Let me give you a tour, and then we can go see it..."

Then he began to explain the situation.

As my father said, this courtyard was originally the residence of a chief minister.

After the death of the first Z, the courtyard quickly changed owners, and later changed owners twice more.

The previous owner was a real estate company boss from Shenzhen who bought this large courtyard house for a little over 05 million yuan at the end of 6000.

Then, 7000 million yuan was invested in a complete renovation and modernization, including interior decoration, and the purchase of various furniture and appliances.

It took two years to renovate and remodel this large courtyard house. The decoration and various furnishings were completed, and all the best materials were used.

Just then, the subprime mortgage crisis arrived, and the real estate market faced its biggest regulatory crackdown in recent years, with credit tightening.

This shrewd real estate tycoon couldn't keep up with the situation and had his loans withdrawn by several banks. He had no choice but to rob Peter to pay Paul and try to find a way to fill the hole!

He put the newly renovated courtyard house, which he had never lived in for a single day, on the market in an attempt to sell it and raise funds!

He initially priced the courtyard at 160 million, but no one showed interest, so he had to lower the price again and again.

After listing the property for nearly half a year and lowering the price to around 9800 million, it finally found a buyer like Lingyun who was both sincere and capable!

Upon learning that Lingyun was willing to offer 8800 million yuan and pay in full, the real estate tycoon gritted his teeth and reluctantly sold the large courtyard house to him.

That's why Lingyun said it was a minor leak.

After hearing his explanation, Mom and Dad couldn't help but laugh.

"That real estate tycoon is really unlucky. He just finished renovating a top-notch courtyard house, didn't even live in it for a single day, and you, kid, got a huge windfall!"

"That's right, so he's decorating our house. I think the decor looks pretty good, we can just move in right away, it'll save us a lot of trouble."

After chatting for a while, Lingyun led his parents into the study and went straight to the bookshelves.

Then I opened the cabinet door under the bookshelf and pushed open the back panel inside.

A concealed and sturdy safe was revealed, its body heavy and the combination lock gleaming with a cold, metallic luster.

Seeing this, Mom and Dad were both very surprised.

Next, Lingyun gave the safe's combination and key to his mother and taught them how to open and close the safe.

There are three more safes like these in this courtyard house.

One is in the east wing, one is in the third courtyard, and the other is in the wine cellar in the basement, which is the most secluded.

In addition to the safe deposit box password, Lingyun also told his parents the passwords for those bank cards.

After figuring out how to open and close the safe, Mom immediately turned around and went back to the living room.

He took all the real estate transaction contracts, bank cards, keys, and access cards from the coffee table and locked them in the safe.

Only in this way can the elderly couple truly feel at ease.

After dealing with these matters, Lingyun took his parents on a tour of the luxurious three-courtyard house.

What happened next is predictable.

Wherever they went, the elderly couple kept praising them.

They were extremely satisfied with this large courtyard house.

Before the tour was over, Grandma suddenly called and asked why the three of them hadn't come over for dinner yet.

After receiving the call, Lingyun discussed it with his parents.

Then we drove away to pick up my grandparents to come here for dinner and to see our new home.

My parents stayed in the courtyard house, continuing to enjoy looking around and planning their new life that was about to begin!

Meanwhile, in Shanghai.

Goldman Sachs Shanghai branch.

Despite it being the weekend, General Manager Anthony still summoned several trusted executives for a very important impromptu meeting.

There is only one core content or one core objective of this meeting.

That was Ling Yun, the investment genius who had just left Yuanda Group.

Inside the meeting room, several senior executives were intently studying the documents in their hands.

You can see it if you look closely.

The documents these executives held in their hands were detailed records of international crude oil futures market transactions.

All these transaction records point to five futures trading accounts that have been temporarily frozen by Yuanda Group!

The real purpose of Goldman Sachs releasing these international crude oil futures trading records is to hide the investment team behind these five futures accounts.

Looking at the transaction records in their hands, the executives all exclaimed in unison.

"These trades are perfect! I've never seen anything like it before. The traders on this team are absolutely top-tier!"

"Wow! Almost every single one of their trades was timed precisely at the critical junctures of dramatic fluctuations in international oil prices. It's truly astonishing."

"Looking at these trading records, I even have the illusion that this genius trader is holding a remote control, manipulating international oil prices up and down?"

Anthony glanced at his men and nodded solemnly.

"Everyone is right, this is an unprecedented genius trader; his trading record is near perfect!"

"This genius trader made over 25 times his initial investment in the international crude oil futures market within a month, using leverage of less than 200 times."

"He may also be secretly operating a Hong Kong investment company, aggressively targeting Merrill Lynch and the European and American financial markets, making over $18 billion in profit in a single month..."

Like a bolt from the blue, these words shocked everyone once again.

"My God, who is this guy? Could he be an investment god?"

"He's an all-around investment genius! That's incredibly rare!"

Anthony gestured for everyone to be quiet by pressing his hands together, his eyes sharp as a hawk's.

"Our goal is very clear: find him, understand him, and then get him; if we can't get him..."
