Get to the point.

The gentle expression on Chen Mo's face quickly vanished.

Xu Qing, lying in her hospital bed, also noticed the change, her left hand, which was holding a tissue, froze in mid-air.

Zhao Qiang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Half an hour ago, Mr. Xu was taken away from a restaurant near the company."

"Who is it?"

"Economic investigation and securities regulatory commission investigation."

Zhao Qiang lowered his voice.

"The other party presented their identification and assistance with the investigation, mainly inquiring about accounts and transactions from the Yuan Zexi era."

"President Xu did not resist. Before leaving, he only asked someone to tell me to handle the matter according to the rules of Taichu and not to hide anything from him."

Chen Mo's eyes darkened slightly.

"What about Primordial Four?"

"All new opening positions have been suspended."

Zhao Qiang quickly reported the situation.

"The securities company has locked the trading accounts of Mr. Xu and several key traders, and the existing positions have been handed over to an independent risk control team for monitoring."

"Normal closing, hedging, and risk management will not be affected."

There are no problems with this emergency response plan.

Taichu No. 4 is a closed product with a scale of tens of billions of yuan.

The fact that Xu Xiang is under investigation does not mean that the fund's assets can be left unmanaged.

Before a clear conclusion is reached, suspending the special trading group's opening position authority and then having an independent risk control team take over the existing positions is the safest approach.

"Anything else?"

"The custodian institution just sent a risk inquiry."

"They demanded that we provide the complete authorization chain for Taichu No. 4, all transaction records of Mr. Xu after entering Taichu, and an explanation of the connection between the product and the original Zexi account."

"The partner brokerage firm is also re-verifying the operator's identity."

Zhao Qiang paused for a moment.

"In addition, three institutional investors called almost simultaneously to inquire whether the news that Mr. Xu was under investigation was true."

"The news spread so fast?"

"There are no media reports yet; those three organizations all have their own news channels."

Chen Mo glanced at the time.

Only half an hour has passed since Xu Xiang was taken away.

Custodians, securities firms, and institutional investors have all responded.

The financial world can never keep truly significant events hidden.

Moreover, the person who was taken away was Xu Xiang.

"The office area of ​​the special transaction team will be sealed off."

Chen Mo spoke.

"All computers, servers, access control systems, emails, internal communications, and transaction logs are put into read-only mode."

"No one may delete files or change devices."

Zhao Qiang responded, "It's already in progress."

"All twelve former subordinates of Zexi have been suspended from contacting the core system."

"Work phones and computers are all handed over to the risk control department for safekeeping."

"clear."

"Contact independent lawyers and accountants."

Chen Mo continued.

"Let them immediately enter into the beginning."

"The documents required by the trusteeship are provided in accordance with procedures after being reviewed by lawyers."

"Send fact notifications to product investors."

"Only state that Xu Xiang is cooperating with the investigation and that Taichu-4 is operating normally; do not say a single other word."

"No employee may give an interview until a clear conclusion is reached."

Zhao Qiang quickly took notes.

"it is good."

"I'm going to the capital right away."

Chen Mo hung up the phone.

The ward fell silent again.

Xu Qing looked at him.

"Has something happened to the company?"

"A little unexpected situation."

Chen Mo put his phone away.

"It needs to be handled in the capital."

Xu Qing knows Chen Mo well; for him to change his itinerary immediately after getting off the plane, something must be quite significant.

She sat up straight instinctively.

"What do you need me to do for the family office?"

"You don't need to do anything."

"But……"

"Your job is rehabilitation."

Chen Mo gave her no room to continue fighting.

"The agency team can handle normal affairs. Once you recover, there will be plenty of things for you to do."

Xu Qing pursed her lips.

She was still worried, but eventually nodded gently.

"Please be careful on your way."

"Um."

Chen Mo got up and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he looked back one last time.

"After the rehabilitation team arrived, we cooperated diligently."

"I will."

Xu Qing agreed.

The ward door closed.

As Chen Mo walked toward the elevator, he contacted the crew.

The Gulfstream G650ER had just finished its flight from southern Jiangsu to Changhu this morning, and the crew had not yet left the airport.

The flight operations team immediately reapplied for a flight to Beijing.

The planned trip to Douyin headquarters in the afternoon has been cancelled.

Wei Shan walked beside Chen Mo.

"The airport needs forty minutes to prepare."

"Go straight there."

"clear."

The elevator arrived at the first floor.

Qin Feng had already notified the hospital's external convoy in advance.

A few minutes later, we headed straight for Changhu Airport.

……

inside the car.

Chen Mo dialed Zhao Qiang's number again.

Who was with Xu Xiang when he was taken away?

"Feng Kai, a researcher in the special trading team."

Zhao Qiang answered.

"The two of them had just finished meeting with the management of a listed company and were having lunch at a nearby restaurant."

"There were six people on the other side in total: four economic crime investigators and two securities regulatory inspectors."

"Are all the paperwork complete?"

"The lawyer reviewed the documents taken at the scene and found no procedural issues."

"Where is Xu Xiang's phone?"

"It has been sealed off in accordance with the law."

"The investigators then went to his office and retrieved some of the documents."

Zhao Qiang said.

"Our legal staff were present throughout the entire process. The other party only took the documents listed in the procedure and did not contact Taichu No. 3 or other departments."

At present, everything appears to be part of a normal investigation.

Xu Xiang's past experiences are too complicated.

Zexi's funds, accounts, relationships with listed companies, and past trading practices are inherently vulnerable to being easily manipulated.

In his previous life, Chen Mo knew exactly why Xu Xiang would ultimately fall from grace.

In this life, he made Xu Xiang clear out high-risk accounts, terminate nominee shareholding, and cut off illicit funds ahead of time.

Xu Xiang also shut down Zexi as agreed and joined Taichu with his core team.

However, just because Chen Mo knows the outcome doesn't mean he knows every single transaction in the process.

It's even less likely that all participants and accounts could be remembered.

If even one gap remains, it could be torn open again today.

"Recheck the pre-Taichu eradication materials for Xu Xiang."

Chen Mo said.

"Don't just check the summary report he submitted."

"The accounts, bank statements, termination agreements, and actual controllers were verified item by item."

"Especially the last thirty high-risk accounts that were cleared out."

"clear."

"Who will be in charge after Primordial IV enters emergency mode?"

"I and the independent risk control committee have temporarily taken over."

"All of Mr. Xu's strategies need to be reauthorized before they can be implemented."

"very good."

Chen Mo ended the call.

Outside the car window, the buildings on both sides of the road rushed past.

If this investigation only targets Xu Xiang, the matter is not complicated.

Determine the boundary between Taichu and Zexi.

To confirm whether there were any illegal transactions involving Taichu No. 4.

Xu Xiang should bear whatever responsibility he should bear, and the matter should be handled according to the outcome.

What really bothered Chen Mo was how fast things were happening.

Xu Xiang was taken away, and the trusteeship agency immediately received inquiries.

Several institutional investors received the news almost simultaneously.

The trading privileges of Taichu No. 4 were also restricted immediately.

Taichu has now entered the ranks of the top private equity firms in China.

Taichu No. 3 and No. 4 each manage 10 billion yuan in funds.

The independent accounts behind Taichu II amount to nearly 50 billion yuan.

Those who understand the structure of Taichu No. 2 naturally know about Chen Mo's relationship with the Lu family.

Ordinary financial competitors would never dare to make a move against Taichu.

However, there is currently no evidence to suggest that anyone else is behind this.

Chen Mo, however, could not ignore this possibility.

The convoy drove into the airport's dedicated lane.

Just as Chen Mo stepped onto the gangway, his phone rang again.

Lu Jingyi.

He went into the cabin and answered the phone.

"You found out?"

"Just received the message."

Lu Jingyi's voice remained calm, while the sounds of keyboards and English conversations could be heard in the background.

"There are also some problems with the creation process."

Chen Mo paused for a moment.

"Specific details."

"Within twenty minutes, Goldman Sachs' compliance department requested Chuangsheng to provide supplementary information on the ultimate beneficiaries, related-party transactions, and domestic fund transfers."

"The administrator of the Genesis Europe fund also received an anonymous document."

"The material claims that Chuangsheng obtained transaction information on domestic policy funds through Taichu II and then used this information to profit in overseas markets."

Chen Mo walked to the seat but did not sit down immediately.

"Did they suspend the account?"

"no."

"Existing funds, custody, and transactions remain unaffected."

Lu Jingyi said.

"Only one new credit line has entered the enhanced review process, and the legal procedures for the two potential investors in Chuangsheng No. 2 have been temporarily postponed."

"What about Europe?"

"As soon as the materials arrived, the head of a French industrial family handed over the original documents to me."

"The other party made it clear that they would not stop cooperating because of this, and only asked us to provide an explanation according to normal procedures."

Following the Paris attacks, the relationships established between Creation and European families began to take effect.

They notified Lu Jingyi immediately after receiving the anonymous materials, and did not take advantage of the information gap to suddenly terminate the cooperation, which was enough to show their attitude.

"The material mentions Primordial II?"

"It was mentioned three times."

Lu Jingyi answered.

"They even deliberately described Taichu No. 2 as a 50 billion yuan private equity fund personally managed by Chen Mo."

"I have already asked my international lawyers to prepare an explanation."

"There are no financial dealings between Creation and Primordial II."

"All trading accounts and strategy teams are also isolated from each other."

These accusations are indeed unlikely to harm Creativity.

However, the fact that problems occurred on the same day and at the same time in both domestic and international contexts cannot be explained by coincidence.

Chen Mo's judgment changed rapidly.

When was this anonymous document created?

"The file attributes have been cleaned up. Judging from the content, the preparation time was not short."

Lu Jingyi paused for a few seconds.

The cabin door closed slowly.

The warning sound before the engine starts came from the front cabin.

Chen Mo finally sat down.

Does your father know?

"I'll contact him now."

Lu Jingyi did not hang up the phone.

A few seconds later, the call was switched to the Lu family's emergency hotline.

The waiting tone continued to sound.

No one answered the phone.

Lu Jingyi dialed again.

Still no one answered.

Silence fell on both ends of the phone call.

Is this dedicated line usually staffed?

Chen Mo asked.

"Twenty-four hours."

Lu Jingyi lowered her voice.

"Even if my father is unable to answer the phone, his secretary will explain the situation."

She quickly contacted another work phone.

This time, someone finally answered.

After a brief conversation, Lu Jingyi returned to her call with Chen Mo.

"The secretary said that my father had to attend a closed-door meeting at the last minute."

"All communications will be shut down during the meeting."

Did you know about this meeting in advance?

"have no idea."

Lu Jingyi answered.

Lu Changming's work cannot be fully disclosed to his family.

The fact that the meeting was held behind closed doors doesn't prove anything.

However, the timing of the problems occurring simultaneously with Xu Xiang, Tai Chu, and Chuang Sheng seems overly sensitive.

"I'm going back to the mainland immediately."

Lu Jingyi said.

"no."

Chen Mo rejected it outright.

"Chen Mo—"

"You stay in Hong Kong."

Chen Mo spoke calmly.

"You need to personally stabilize the created accounts, credit lines, and funders."

"If you come back now, it will only confirm to everyone that Creation, Primordial Beginning, and the Lu family are already bound together."

Lu Jingyi immediately understood his concerns.

If someone is indeed behind this incident, they may be waiting for the Lu family to react.

"And what about you?"

"I'll first investigate the accounts of the beginning."

"Do not contact your father again before the results are in, and do not use the Lu family's connections."

Lu Jingyi remained silent for a moment.

"I can stay, but you need to be careful."

"it is good."

She added another sentence.

"Since the other side is taking action both domestically and internationally at the same time, their preparations cannot be limited to these."

"I know."

The call has ended.
