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

The pen tip stopped below the words "Suspend Lu Zhilan".

Chen Mo did not close the document immediately.

One problem still loomed before him.

If their ambitions extend beyond the Primordial Beginning, why didn't they continue attacking Star Technology?

From the time Xu Xiang was taken away to the time Feng Kai fell to his death, it has been proven that the other side has multiple channels of investigation, public opinion, and foreign capital.

With this ability, it wouldn't be difficult for them to cause trouble for Douyin, Jianing, or Xingxin.

But several days passed, and all the means that actually caused the damage still fell on Tai Chu.

Chen Mo picked up the phone.

"Lin Wan".

"I am here."

Lin Wan hasn't rested yet.

You can still hear the sound of documents being turned over on the phone.

Have you encountered any unusual situations at the company in the past couple of days?

"no."

Lin Wan answered quickly.

"The investments in Douyin, Pinduoduo, and Accelink are all progressing normally."

"The partner banks have not tightened credit lines, and local projects have not been subject to additional scrutiny."

"What about Jianing, Xingxin, and Qingjia?"

"Everything is normal."

"Only a few organizations inquired about the relationship between the stars and the beginning, but I turned them away according to the original statement."

"understood."

Chen Mo hung up the phone and then pulled up the latest report sent by Chuangsheng.

The same applies.

Creation received some anonymous materials and several potential investors raised supplementary inquiries, but the accounts, custody, credit lines and core transactions were not really affected.

Chen Mo's suspicions were somewhat confirmed.

The other side is actively controlling the area; what they really want to destroy is Taichu No. 2, and the person they really want to bring down is Lu Zhilan.

It was completely dark outside the window.

Today is Friday.

There's only one weekend left until the next trading day.

If the market continues to fall on Monday, some independent accounts in Taichu No. 2 will trigger the internal risk reduction line.

If hundreds of billions of yuan are sold simultaneously according to their respective systems, the 3.5 billion yuan unrealized loss will quickly turn into an irrecoverable actual loss.

Even if the investigation ultimately proves that Chen Mo and Chuangsheng did not transfer any benefits, Lu Zhilan will still have to face the responsibility for the significant drop in the net asset value of Taichu No. 2.

The other party's current actions indicate that this incident is not targeting him personally.

The foolish second-generation heir sent earlier also indicated that the person behind it had no hostility towards Chen Mo at all, and did not even intend to use the opportunity to negotiate.

Chen Mo now has a safe enough way out.

Cut off from Primordial Four, permanently resign from the position of strategic advisor to Primordial Two, and hand over all issues to the investigation department.

Xingchen Technology, Douyin, Chuangsheng, Jianing, and Qingjia will not be fundamentally harmed as a result.

He still controls a vast amount of industry and wealth, and could even re-establish an asset management firm after the storm has passed.

This is the choice that a rational capitalist should make.

Chen Mo's gaze returned to the name circled in red.

Taichu II initially had only 10 billion yuan.

It was Lu Zhilan who, despite the controversy, made him sit in front of those national-level fund managers.

It was also her design of accepting independent accounts, independent trusteeship, and independent decision-making that gradually expanded the scale to nearly 50 billion yuan.

Now someone is using Chen Mo, Xu Xiang, and Feng Kai to make her bear all the consequences.

The Lu family did not ask Chen Mo for help.

Lu Zhilan didn't even pass him a single word.

He hesitated for a moment by the window, then picked up his phone, found the familiar number, and dialed it directly.

……

Hong Kong.

Genesis Capital.

Lu Jingyi sat in her office, with Taichu Public Opinion, A50 market data, and several inquiry emails from overseas institutions all open in front of her.

There were still quite a few people working in the office on the entire floor.

News of events happening on the mainland continues to arrive.

Lu Jingyi can see public reports and also understand overseas markets through creation.

But she also didn't know what had happened inside the Lu family.

Her father did not contact her.

Lu Zhilan's phone remained unreachable.

My mother sent me a message just a few hours ago.

Stay in Hong Kong, don't come back.

There is no further explanation.

When her phone rang, Lu Jingyi answered it almost immediately.

"Chen Mo."

"it's me."

"How's things back home?"

Lu Jingyi asked the question that she cared about most first.

"The Taichu II has retreated by a cumulative 7.2 percent."

Chen Mo said.

"Someone prepared internal materials targeting Aunt Lu in advance."

The other end of the phone went silent.

"What materials?"

Chen Mo briefly explained the contents of the three documents.

Lu Jingyi did not answer immediately.

She controls the vast majority of the overseas funds and connections for the company, yet she is unable to overcome the isolation measures imposed by her family.

"I don't know what's going on with my aunt right now."

She finally spoke.

"My father hasn't contacted me, and no one in the family has told me what happened. I don't know more than you do."

Chen Mo gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Jingyi asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"I'm thinking."

Lu Jingyi did not persuade him to take risks for the Lu family.

"The funds from Primordial II did not enter Primordial, and Starry Sky and Creation are completely isolated. As long as you do not interfere with the independent accounts privately, no one can shift all the blame onto you after the investigation results are released."

"Giving up the Beginning will at least preserve our other businesses." She paused for a moment. "It's the safest option."

"Is this the choice you want me to make?"

I hope you are safe.

Lu Jingyi answered calmly.

"As for what the Lu family should bear, that's for the Lu family to bear themselves."

There were no requests, nor the slightest probing.

This is Lu Jingyi. Even when her family faced a crisis, she still did not use their relationship to ask him for help.

The two fell silent over the phone.

Outside the office, people kept passing by the newly created trading area.

On the screen, the overseas A50 overnight session is still under short selling pressure.

After a long while, Chen Mo suddenly spoke.

"Jingyi".

"Um?"

"Why do you always trust me so much?"

Lu Jingyi was slightly taken aback.

She hadn't expected Chen Mo to suddenly ask such a question at this crucial moment.

After the brief moment of surprise, a slight smile appeared on her lips, as if she had remembered something.

"Xiao Mo, do you believe in love at first sight?"

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised.

Lu Jingyi's smile deepened.

Do you remember the first time we met?

"certainly."

"Guanlan Royal View No. 16".

Lu Jingyi's voice carried a hint of nostalgia.

Before I drove to pick you up, I went through your information over and over again.

"Eighteen years old, a senior high school student, living in Jiangcheng County, but just made more than 400 million US dollars from the crude oil and ruble markets."

"I just couldn't believe that these things could happen to the same person."

Chen Mo also remembered the red Porsche 911 parked in front of the villa.

That day, Lu Jingyi wore a white cashmere coat and stood in the winter sun, looking radiant and sharp.

"When I finally met you, you were wearing a black sweater and a dark coat, carrying your own suitcase, without even an assistant by your side."

Lu Jingyi chuckled softly.

"I said, you were Merrill Lynch's most legendary client that year."

"You only replied with one sentence—'The legend will continue.'"

Chen Mo smiled as well: "You think I'm young and impetuous?"

"What I like is that carefree attitude."

Lu Jingyi did not give him a chance to avoid it.

"After getting in the car, you didn't ask about the hotel, nor did you pay attention to who Meilin arranged to receive you."

"After reviewing the itinerary, the first question I asked was about the ISDA framework, and then I was told that the next step was to work with Swiss francs."

"At that moment, I knew that the four hundred million dollars in the documents was not luck."

"Later, the Swiss franc surged, and the company was founded. Then came the United States and Paris, and time and again you proved that I was right from the start."

She paused for a moment, her voice gradually softening.

"I wasn't sure before whether it counted as love at first sight."

"Looking back now, from the moment I drove that car away from Jiangcheng County, I was already drawn to you and wanted to see how far the legend could go."

"Your success gives me more confidence to stand by your side, but it has never been the reason I get close to you."

There was a long silence on the phone.

Chen Mo held his phone, his Adam's apple bobbing slowly.

He was well aware of Lu Jingyi's feelings for him.

But it was only at this moment that he realized that this proud, almost sharp woman had remembered every word he had said since their first meeting.

Over the years, she abandoned the path Merrill Lynch had originally paved for her, accompanied him to establish Genesis, helped him enter the global capital market, and also stood by him through that blood-soaked night in Paris.

She never asked Chen Mo for any promises.

At this moment, the Lu family is in deep turmoil, and she still has not asked him for help.

She even personally pointed out the path for him that would allow him to escape unscathed.

The emotions surging in Chen Mo's chest could no longer be completely suppressed by reason.

"Sister Jingyi."

His voice was somewhat low and hoarse.

"Um?"

"I'll come to Hong Kong to see you after I've sorted things out in China."

Lu Jingyi was silent for a moment, then her tone returned to a smile.

"Just looking for me?"

"This time, it's not just that."

She did not press the matter further.

"it is good."

"I'm waiting for you."

Chen Mo put down the phone and then picked up another encrypted phone.

The first call was to Arthur Grant.

It was still morning in New York.

After the call connected, Arthur listened to his request and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Chen, do you need some short-term funding?"

"right."

"scale?"

"The more authorizations that can be completed before Monday, the better."

"The deadline is thirty days."

"Annualized interest rate of 10%".

Arthur was not immediately swayed by the interest rate.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Someone is shorting the Chinese market heavily in Hong Kong and Singapore."

Chen Mo looked at the A50 night session.

"I will make them pay the price."

Arthur chuckled softly.

"It doesn't sound like a loan; it sounds more like a war."

"That's why I called you first."

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

"Send over the collateral and the transaction framework."

"Arthur said."

"Grant will give you an answer."

The second call was to Antoine.

Zheng Yalan and her child have been safely transferred, and the two guards who were detained are being questioned by local police.

Chen Mo did not press for updates on the evidence.

"Antoine, there's one more thing I need to do."

"you say."

"Contact me with several European family foundations at the St. Clair conference."

"I need short-term funding, and I welcome them to participate in a transaction as independent investors."

"And the profits?"

"Each relies on their own abilities."

"They are responsible for assessing the risks themselves."

"For the loan portion, I'll offer an annualized return of 10%."

Antoine did not ask about Primordial II.

"I'll call for you myself."

"Thanks."

"List."

Antoine called out to him.

"After Paris, many people have been waiting for an opportunity to repay favors."

The call ended.

Chen Mo did not stop.

Goldman Sachs.

Merrill Lynch.

Morgan.

Swiss family office.

Middle Eastern financial representatives.

He dialed a series of private numbers he had accumulated over the past few months.

Foreign capital is beginning to be mobilized.

Chen Mo then called Zhao Qiang into his office.

"Check the remaining cash and next week's transaction quota for Taichu No. 3."

"Based on the original investment scope, revalue the core holdings of No. 2 that were targeted."

Looking at the phone records on the table, Zhao Qiang quickly understood what was going on.

"Mr. Chen, are you preparing to rescue Number Two?"

Chen Mo said.

"Number three only buys stocks that fit its own strategy and have fallen below their intrinsic value."

"clear."

"besides."

Chen Mo handed him several market sentiment materials.

"Tell everyone in the beginning that there will be no weekend off."

"Research, trading, and risk control are all back."

"I need to know how much capital each attacked stock can actually absorb by Monday."

Zhao Qiang took the materials.

The gloom that had been hanging over his face for several days finally began to ease slightly.

"Yes."

After Zhao Qiang left, Chen Mo looked at the market data screen again.

The number of short positions in the A50 index continues to increase overseas.

The other party probably believes that after Taichu No. 2 loses its strategic channel, it can only choose between falling prices and forced reduction of positions.

They even left Chen Mo a way out.

Abandon the beginning.

Preserve the stars and creation.

Be a capitalist who is always rational.

But they miscalculated one thing.

Chen Mo is not only rational, he is also confident.

They thought they were besieging a young upstart who had risen to prominence through talent.

Little did they know that sitting in front of them was a supreme ruler who held the reins of the next twenty years.

Even if this game is completely smashed and started all over again, the one who will have the last laugh will still be him, and can only be him.
