On the electronic screen, the Hang Seng Index, which had been hovering around 5760 points, suddenly shot upwards.

In just a few breaths, it climbed 300 points, just one step away from recovering the 6,000-point mark.

"Quickly, go and find out what's going on!!!"

Financial Secretary Tsang Ping-chuen's eyes shone, and his rapid breathing caused a thin layer of fog to form on the lenses of his glasses.

"Yes, Director, I'll check right away!" The male secretary next to him replied and turned to leave quickly.

"Look everyone, the stock index has broken through 6000 points!"

"It's true! It's still rising! And it's rising so fast!!!"

"My God! What's going on?"

......

Just a few seconds after Zeng Bingquan wiped his glasses with a handkerchief, the attendees who were staring intently at the screen began to shout and yell.

Zeng Bingquan's hand trembled, and he quickly put his glasses back on.

Looking up, I saw the green curve on the screen shooting upwards at an incredible speed.

6000 points...

6100 points...

6300 points...

6500 points...

7000 points.....

8000 points.....

......

Such an unprecedented surge was something that not only the Financial Secretary had never seen before, but those present, including the Chief Executive, had probably never even heard of.

In just 10 minutes, the Hang Seng Index broke through 8,000 points, and paused at 8,672 points.

"Huh? Why did it stop?"

"Are the multiple sides out of ammunition?"

"Something's not right... I know, the bears have launched a full-scale counterattack!"

......

The words had barely left his mouth.

The stagnant stock index curve suddenly snapped in two like a tree branch being broken in the middle, and with a "crack," it turned downwards again.

Its rate of decline was no less than the speed of its earlier rise.

The Hang Seng Index, which had been soaring, suddenly dropped more than 500 points and is about to fall back below 8,000 points.

Just then, the secretary came running in, panting, shouting as she ran:

"Dragon Scale Fund, it's Dragon Scale Fund again!"

Chief Executive Fok Kin-ming waved his hand, signaling his male secretary to calm down and speak properly.

The secretary, catching her breath, explained:

"Just now, we detected more than a dozen massive inflows of funds into the stock market, totaling HK$130 billion!"

"The source of the funds is entirely related to the Dragon Scale Fund!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is the Dragon Scale Fund really going crazy?

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."

Huo Jianming gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"As you all have seen, it is now confirmed that Longlin Fund has officially entered the market to rescue it."

"To make a long story short, as the Chief Executive, I still want to express the same meaning."

"When faced with external forces that want to disrupt Hong Kong's normal economic order, we have an obligation and a responsibility to do our best to stop them!"

At this point, Huo Jianming paused, his eyes scanning the crowd before finally settling on Zeng Bingquan's face:

"Director Zeng, do you have any further comments regarding the use of foreign exchange reserves?"

Zeng Bingquan, who was staring intently at the electronic screen, was taken aback by the words: "I think... should we wait a bit?"

"Let's first see how determined and strong Dragonscale is. With just the two of us, we might not be able to defeat the Quantum Fund and the capital behind it."

Huo Jianming frowned: "Then how long are you going to wait?"

Zeng Bingquan pointed to the stock index curve on the electronic screen: "Let's see if Longlin Fund can hold the 8000-point mark!"

His words drew everyone's attention back to the screen.

The digital clock on the wall pointed to 9:50.

The stock index, which is still falling, has already touched the critical line of 8050 points.

The meeting room was so quiet you could almost hear a pin drop.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on the rapidly moving curve, and no one dared to breathe.

The moment of life and death is upon us.

8050 points...

8030 points.....

8010 points...

Suddenly, the rapidly descending curve came to a stop.

As if under a magical spell, it remained frozen in place.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Three seconds later, the stock index curve finally started to move again.

"Look, it's going up!"

"It's true, it's reached 8100 points!"

"Not only that, it's almost at 8200 points! Is this rate of increase going to blow up the Hong Kong stock market?"

"My God! At this rate, how much money will Dragon Scale need to invest? How rich must it be?!"

......

After a brief dip, the Hang Seng Index rebounded strongly.

This surge seems to be even more rapid than the first one!

Unexpectedly, the battle between bulls and bears has already reached a fever pitch since the Hong Kong stock market opened.

When some people are buying frantically, others are dumping their shares relentlessly.

Ultimately, it comes down to which side has the better supply of ammunition.

Europe, Switzerland.

Quantum Foundation Building.

Sorosi, with his full head of blond hair, silently stared at the large electronic screen on the wall. On the coffee table, the original flavor coffee his secretary had prepared for him had gone cold.

He didn't have time to relax and drink coffee; today was the final battle, a life-or-death struggle!
