For three days in a row, Wang Hu spent his time in the arms of his wife, making the women in his family scream in pain every day. Several of them couldn't stand it and tried to kick Wang Hu out.

"Don't you have a lover outside? Go away! Don't come home tonight!" Zhang Feng shouted angrily at Wang Hu. This woman had always longed for a child and had been constantly pestering Wang Hu for it, but now even she was starting to find Wang Hu unbearable.

Bored out of his mind, Wang Hu drove aimlessly to the seaside. He sat quietly in the car, gazing at the winding coastline in the distance, trying to calm his restless heart.

At this moment, everything seemed like a dream to him. He had once been penniless, but now he not only possessed wealth but was also surrounded by beautiful women. Yet, for some reason, he felt increasingly lost.

Just then, a sudden phone ring broke the silence. Wang Hu took his phone out of his pocket, and the caller ID showed Li Wanting. He hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Wang Hu, can you come to the pre-trial mediation today?" Li Wanting's voice came from the other end of the receiver.

Wang Hu frowned, his mind filled with doubt: Why is there a need for pre-trial mediation? He had already sensed something was wrong when he received Lin Xiaoxuan's call last time.

The evidence they submitted was clearly sufficient, and winning the case was almost a certainty; there was absolutely no possibility of losing.

Wang Hu initially envisioned that after seeing this compelling evidence, the other party would surely approach him seeking a private settlement and unfreezing his banned account. However, the fact that things have now escalated to the point requiring pre-trial mediation is truly baffling.

Wang Hu said, "I'm free. Tell me the address and time, and I'll come over now."

After getting the address, Wang Hu immediately drove there. The mediation was also held at the Beilun District Intermediate People's Court. When Wang Hu arrived, everyone was already there, and it seemed like they were just waiting for him.

After Wang Hu went in, he sat next to Li Wanting. Opposite him sat three men, who were probably their lawyers. The mediator was Xue Qiqin. Wang Hu nodded to her, afraid of influencing her.

After Wang Hu finished speaking, Xue Qiqin began to speak, saying, "We will now begin pre-trial mediation. Please ask the plaintiff to state your demands."

Li Wanting said, "Our demands are very simple: unban the accounts and publish an apology on the game's official website."

Xue Qiqin looked at the other side and asked, "What are your demands, defendant?"

The man in the middle on the other side said, "Unbanning the account is fine, but an apology isn't enough. We can compensate you with two skins."

Li Wanting said, "No, we demand an apology. We don't need your compensation for the skin."

The man on the other end said, "Don't go too far. We can unban your account and compensate you with a few more skins, but we will absolutely not apologize."

Hearing this, Wang Hu became furious. Was this some kind of beggar? He slammed his hand on the table and said, "I don't know. Is not apologizing your idea or your boss's idea? You're just a lawyer. If it's your idea, you'd better ask for instructions. If it's your superior's idea, I'll give you a hundred million to play with." With that, Wang Hu turned and left.

Just as Wang Hu was about to step out of the courthouse, the lawyer's mocking and disdainful voice suddenly came from behind him: "One hundred million? Humph! You're really shameless! Don't you know how much wealth one hundred million represents? How dare you spout such nonsense and brag without even thinking!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hu abruptly stopped, slowly turned around, and his icy gaze shot straight at the lawyer like a cold glare. However, he remained silent, staring intently at the other man with that chilling look for a moment before resolutely turning and leaving the courthouse.

As soon as he stepped out of the courthouse, Wang Hu immediately took out his phone and dialed Han Meimei's number. A short while later, Han Meimei's respectful yet slightly nervous voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Mr. Wang, what instructions do you have for me to carry out?"

Wang Hu said expressionlessly into the phone, "I will transfer all the funds I have stored in the overseas securities market to my Postal Savings Bank account in a moment. Remember, make sure these funds arrive safely and quickly. Also, use these funds to acquire Tencent's shares with all your might."

In fact, Wang Hu has been extremely busy these past two days. During this time, thanks to his keen market insight and precise trading techniques, he successfully participated in two futures transactions.

Through these actions, his funds have grown rapidly, like a snowball, and have now exceeded $5 billion! So this amount is more than enough to buy some shares of Tencent.

Wang Hu is really angry now. He thought it was a small matter, but he didn't expect to be mocked by a nobody like him.

Wang Hu returned to his car, took out his laptop, and transferred funds from his securities account to his bank account. Han Meimei, upon receiving Wang Hu's notification, informed the bank's management.

Everyone knew this was a big deal. From the time Wang Hu's funds arrived to the start of the operation, only half an hour had passed, and then Tencent's stock price began to soar.

Because Wang Hu used aggressive tactics to acquire the property, the price of HK$10 suddenly jumped to over HK$50 and was still rising. In any case, Wang Hu's order was to spend it all at all costs.

When Little Ma received this news, he was completely stunned, thinking that someone was trying to maliciously target him, and immediately began to investigate through his connections.
