Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

An hour later.

Primordial Temporary Data Verification Room.

Zhao Qiang, the independent risk control manager, and two external lawyers sat around a long table.

There are three sets of materials on the table.

The first set is the list of Zexi accounts to be cleared submitted by Xu Xiang.

The second set of risk inquiry attachments just sent by the custodian institution.

The third set is the complete transaction record of the special transaction group over the past few months.

The risk control manager projected the two lists onto the screen.

"The last round of high-risk accounts submitted by Mr. Xu totaled thirty."

"The documents regarding fund withdrawal, termination of nominee shareholding, and account cessation are all here."

"The attachment sent by the custodian institution contained thirty-one accounts."

Zhao Qiang's gaze lingered on the bottom line.

That was a securities account registered under the name of an ordinary natural person.

The account has been open for more than seven years.

Based on the surface information, the account holder has no direct relationship with Xu Xiang, Zexi, or Taichu.

However, while Zexi was still operating, this account repeatedly engaged in transactions that were highly similar to Zexi's products.

More importantly, it remained active even after Xu Xiang submitted his report to be removed from the company.

The risk control manager retrieved the transaction data from the past three months for comparison.

The screen displays the transaction times of more than a dozen stocks.

After the thirty-first account made its purchase, Taichu No. 4 quickly began building its position.

Sometimes the difference is half a day.

Sometimes the difference is more than ten minutes.

The shortest one was only five minutes.

Once a large amount of funds from Taichu No. 4 enters the market and market prices change, this account will gradually sell off its holdings.

No one spoke in the meeting room.

If it only happens once, it can be explained as a coincidence.

The fact that I managed to buy in before Taichu No. 4 more than ten times in a row can no longer be explained by luck.

Zhao Qiang picked up the phone and redialed Chen Mo's encrypted line.

"Mr. Chen."

"What did you find out?"

Zhao Qiang looked at the account at the bottom of the screen.

"The list of accounts to be liquidated that Mr. Xu gave us may be missing one account."

Chen Mo's grip on the phone tightened slowly.

"What account?"

"An off-balance-sheet account that existed during the Zexi era."

Zhao Qiang's voice was low and deep.

"It continued to conduct transactions even after Mr. Xu joined Taichu."

"Moreover, they repeatedly bought the same targets before Taichu No. 4."

"The shortest time was only five minutes early."

Only the steady sound of the engines remained in the cabin.

Chen Mo looked out the porthole at the churning clouds and remained silent for a long time.

Thirty accounts were the answer Xu Xiang personally handed over to Tai Chu.

Now, a thirty-first one has appeared outside the list.

No one can answer yet who this account belongs to, or whether Xu Xiang knew it was still running.

"Compile the transaction data from that transaction that occurred only five minutes early."

Chen Mo finally spoke.

"I want to know when the target for Primordial No. 4 was determined, who saw the final list, and when the thirty-first account placed its order."

Zhao Qiang on the other end of the phone immediately agreed.

"I had the risk control team recheck it."

"Don't just investigate Xu Xiang."

Chen Mo looked at the thirty account liquidation documents on the computer screen.

"Investigate everyone who has access to the final transaction plan."

"Document access, access control, meeting minutes, and office area monitoring are all time-sensitive."

"Five minutes is not enough for one person to analyze the company, determine the logic, and then complete the purchase."

"The other side knew in advance what Primordial Four was going to do."

Zhao Qiang's breathing became slightly heavy.

"You suspect there was a leak from within?"

"Check the evidence first."

Chen Mo did not draw a direct conclusion.

"Don't alert the special transaction team until the results are in."

The call has ended.

Chen Mo looked out the porthole again.

The Gulfstream G650ER has begun to descend.

Below, the capital city was shrouded in winter twilight, and the city streets gradually lit up with lights.

The appearance of the thirty-first account changed everything.

If the account consistently trades according to his own strategy, Xu Xiang would at most need to explain his past relationship with it.

However, its repeated preemptive purchases ahead of Taichu No. 4 indicate that the internal trading information of Taichu has already been leaked out.

The person who leaked the information may be Xu Xiang.

It may also have come from the twelve old followers who followed him into the beginning.

Only by clarifying this point can we determine whether Taichu was the party transferring benefits or the party being used.

4:20 PM.

The plane landed at Beijing Airport.

Chen Mo got into the middle vehicle and said directly, "To Tai Chu."

……

5:40 PM.

Kyoto Fortune Center.

The floor where the Primordial Assets were located was brightly lit.

Independent lawyers, accountants, risk personnel from the trusteeship institution, and Taichu's internal risk control personnel each occupied a separate meeting room.

All the computers and mobile devices retrieved from the special transaction team were labeled with serial numbers.

The server logs have been backed up three times.

One copy was kept by the Primordial One.

One copy was given to an external lawyer.

Another verification value is retained by the custodian institution.

In this way, no one can modify the records afterward.

Chen Mo stepped out of the elevator.

The employees along the way stood up one after another.

"Mr. Chen."

"Mr. Chen."

He didn't stop to reassure everyone, but only said to the administrative manager who followed him, "Everyone, work according to the emergency procedures. Wait for the company to notify you of other matters."

The conference room door was pushed open.

Zhao Qiang, the independent risk control manager, and two lawyers were already waiting inside.

A newly printed transaction comparison table was placed on the table.

"Have you found out?"

"The most crucial moment has been restored."

Zhao Qiang turned the screen towards Chen Mo.

The left side of the screen shows the internal system records of Primordial IV.

The right side shows the transaction time of the thirty-first account.

On the morning of October 22nd.

Taichu No. 4 originally intended to buy shares in a manufacturing company.

After the market opened, Xu Xiang discovered that another company's order announcement was severely undervalued by the market, and temporarily requested the replacement of some of the targets.

10:08 AM.

Xu Xiang made adjustments at the strategy meeting.

At 10:10, the risk control personnel completed the verification of liquidity and positions.

At 10:12, the final transaction list was generated.

At 10:17, the thirty-first account began making purchases.

At 10:22, Taichu No. 4 officially issued its first transaction instruction.

A full five minutes.

"After the final list was generated, how many people reviewed it?"

"Four."

The risk control manager answered.

"General Manager Xu, the trader in charge of execution that day, the on-duty risk control officer, and Feng Kai."

"General Manager Xu is in the strategy conference room."

"After entering the trading area, the traders and on-duty risk control personnel did not leave the monitoring range."

"Where is Feng Kai?"

The risk control manager opened another record.

10:12:09.

Feng Kai used his internal privileges to access the final transaction list.

Forty seconds later, he left the research area.

The hallway surveillance camera captured him entering the restroom.

At 10:16, he returned to the office area.

The first order from the thirty-first account was submitted at 10:16:48.

There are no security cameras in the restroom.

Zhao Qiang said.

"At that time, there were no strict restrictions on researchers carrying personal cell phones."

"The only requirement is to put your phone in the safe before entering the official trading area."

"The research area and general office area remain available."

Chen Mo continued flipping through the pages.

A single coincidence in time cannot directly prove that Feng Kai leaked secrets.

The risk control team then found records of three more temporary adjustments to the trading plan.

The first time, Feng Kai left his workstation for seven minutes after the list was finalized.

The external account made the purchase half an hour in advance.

The second time, he temporarily borrowed a lounge where there was no one else.

The third time, he went to the pharmacy downstairs under the pretext of feeling unwell. When he returned to the company, the external accounts had already completed their position building.

Feng Kai was involved in all four crucial last-minute adjustments to the final roster.

They also briefly disappeared from other people's sight.

"What about other transactions?"

Chen Mo asked.

"If the strategy is determined a few days in advance, many people on the watch list will be able to access it, making it impossible to pinpoint specific individuals."

Zhao Qiang said.

"The four temporary adjustments were the most valuable."

"Because the time from the selection of the list to the transaction in the peripheral accounts is very short."

Chen Mo closed the document.

Where is Feng Kai now?

"Meeting Room Number Three."

"He has never left since he was placed under special transaction group custody."

"Did you hand in your phone?"

"The company-issued work phone has been handed over to the risk control department."

"Please ask him to come over."

Chen Mo said.

"Zhao Qiang, the lawyer, and the risk control personnel will stay."

"Everyone else, get out."

A few minutes later.

The conference room door opened again.

Feng Kai walked in.

He is 32 years old, slightly overweight, and wears black-rimmed glasses.

Before joining Zexi, he worked in overseas financial institutions.

He later followed Xu Xiang for many years and was one of the core researchers in the special trading group responsible for manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and small and medium-sized companies.

When Xu Xiang was taken away, Feng Kai was having dinner with him at the restaurant.

"Mr. Chen."

Feng Kai hesitated noticeably when he saw the materials on the table.

"sit."

Chen Mo pointed to the chair opposite him.

Feng Kai sat down and placed his hands on his knees.

"I know nothing about Mr. Xu's affairs."

"He didn't mention anything to me before the investigators arrived."

"We won't ask about Xu Xiang today."

Chen Mo pushed the transaction comparison table in front of him.

Feng Kai looked down.

I opened the file at 10:12.

I left the research area at 10:13.

At 10:16:48, an external account placed an order.

At 10:22, Primordial No. 4 began execution.

Several sets of times were clearly marked.

Feng Kai only looked at it for a few seconds before looking away.

"I don't remember what I did in the bathroom that day."

"There have been four temporary adjustments to the trading plan in the past two months."

Chen Mo said.

"You saw the final list four times."

"You left the office area before placing orders with external accounts on four separate occasions."

The color drained from Feng Kai's face.

"It's normal for researchers to leave their workstations."

"certainly."

Chen Mo did not raise his voice.

"Therefore, the company did not directly accuse you of leaking information."

"You can refuse to provide your personal cell phone."

"The Primordial Council will hand over the existing evidence to the investigators, who will then decide whether to retrieve it according to procedure."

"If you are not involved, a complete record will clear your name."

"If this is relevant, this is your last chance to proactively explain."

The meeting room fell silent.

Feng Kai's breathing gradually became rapid.

The lawyer did not urge them, but simply placed a statement on the table indicating that they voluntarily accepted an internal investigation.

Zhao Qiang sat beside him, his face growing increasingly grim.

He hadn't worked with Feng Kai for long, but he knew that Xu Xiang trusted him completely.

After the establishment of Taichu IV, Feng Kai was among the first group of members to obtain core research privileges.
