Chapter 140 Undercurrents



As soon as Li Baolong arrived at Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone, he went into the office to listen to Wenwen's work report. "Brother Bao, our company has received 100 million RMB in new client investment funds, and now we have over 200 million RMB in the account." Wenwen's eyes sparkled.

Li Baolong nodded: "Okay, this month will be busy. Wait for my call. I'm going to Hong Kong in a couple of days to look for money-making opportunities. This time, we're going to make a big splash. Before I leave, I'll transfer one billion to this account. You guys need to show off your skills."

Back home, after a long separation, Li Baolong and Wenwen reunited. Their passion ignited instantly. After a passionate encounter, Wenwen nestled in Li Baolong's arms and whispered, "Darling, I'm already twenty-five. My family's been pressuring me to get married. Let's get married this time." Li Baolong smiled and patted her head. "These past two years, I've focused entirely on my career and haven't considered marriage or children. Aren't you happy with me?" Wenwen lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Many words stuck in her throat, but she didn't know where to begin.

Two days later, Li Baolong returned to Lulutong Company in Hong Kong in a flurry of activity. Liu Na and Wu Fangfang were already waiting there. Upon seeing him, they hurriedly reported, "Brother Baolong, Sister Lanhua and the others' investment funds have arrived—a full two billion Chinese yuan!" Li Baolong's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "Great, the opportunity should come this month. You all need to be on high alert and ready to go all out."

Liu Na continued, "Our company has grown quite a bit now, with over a hundred employees, fifty traders, and more than fifty sales representatives." Li Baolong looked around and said, "Hmm, that's about enough people. All three floors of offices are packed. In the past month or so, the company has absorbed HKD 1 billion in investment funds. We've told the traders to operate with light positions for now, just enough to cover the company's basic expenses. Don't be reckless, take it easy and proceed cautiously."

When Li Baolong returned home, he saw Wang Yan, Wu Lili, and Liu Na busy cooking in the kitchen, chatting and laughing, their relationship seeming much more harmonious than before. As he stood there, his eyes unconsciously wandered to their alluring figures, and he couldn't help but wonder, "I heard that polygamy was allowed in Hong Kong in the past. Why didn't I live in that good time?"

After dinner, Wang Yan and Wu Lili quickly tidied up and went back to their rooms. Liu Na, now acting like a proper lady, swaggered into Li Baolong's master bedroom. At her age, she was in her prime, and soon her soft moans filled the room as a "battle" began. It's unclear how long it lasted before the sounds gradually subsided. Li Baolong, panting, teased, "Sister Na, are you satisfied now?" Liu Na nestled in his arms, murmuring, "Brother Long, since being with you, I'm like a bird released from its cage. I even have my own career now, and my heart is overflowing with happiness."

These past two days, Liu Na has been keeping busy accompanying Li Baolong in Hong Kong, attending several gatherings of financial tycoons. This trip yielded quite a bit of significant news. Li Baolong frowned and said, "Sister Na, have you heard? The economies of Southeast Asian countries are currently sluggish, the stock markets are plummeting, and their currencies have started to depreciate this month."

Liu Na nodded: "Yes, this situation is not good. Also, I heard that Ross and Jess, those two big names in the West, have taken their teams to Malaysia, claiming it's for vacation. Do you believe that?"

Li Baolong sneered, "Hmph, there's definitely something fishy going on here. Those two aren't that idle; they're probably plotting something big behind the scenes. Looks like I need to get ready to meet these two old friends and see what they're really up to."

Li Baolong sensed an undercurrent of unrest in Southeast Asia, an impending financial crisis. He immediately booked a flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, embarking on this unknown journey alone. The plane landed smoothly in Kuala Lumpur after a two-hour flight. He exited the airport, hailed a taxi, and said in English, "Driver, to the most luxurious hotel around here." Upon arriving at the hotel, Li Baolong didn't rush inside. Instead, he crouched in a corner nearby. He held his breath and activated his mental detection. Now that his technique had reached level eight, his abilities were considerable; he could clearly sense people and animals within a hundred meters and even slightly control them.

Li Baolong carefully searched the area but couldn't find Ross. "Looks like he's not here," he muttered to himself. He turned and went into a nearby coffee shop, ordered some food, and sat down to rest. While eating, he suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh dear, last time in Thailand, their hotel was near the Central Bank. Could it be the same this time?"

Thinking of this, he jumped into a taxi and headed straight for a luxury hotel near a major bank in Kuala Lumpur. This time, he indeed detected traces of Ross and his group near the hotel. Li Baolong's lips curled into a smile as he entered the hotel to book a room. The receptionist informed him that all the luxury suites on the ninth floor were full, but without batting an eye, he directly asked for a presidential suite.

Once inside the presidential suite, Li Baolong felt incredibly comfortable. The room was so luxurious, with exquisite breakfasts and dinners served. He lay down, enjoying the food while gazing at the distant sea, thinking to himself, "Ross, Ross, let's see what you're up to this time."

After dinner, Li Baolong took a nap. When he woke up, he activated his mental detection and immediately detected Ross's presence. He used his spiritual sense to check and saw that all the luxury suites downstairs were occupied. In one of them, Ross was discussing something with two other people. Li Baolong didn't care what they were talking about; he just waited for Ross to go to bed so he could activate his mental surveillance.

After waiting for a full hour, Ross drank a glass of water and went to bed. Li Baolong immediately mobilized his spiritual power and activated mind control. Upon looking inside, he discovered a huge golden ball of light in Ross's brain. Li Baolong couldn't help but wonder to himself, was Ross possessed by the God of Wealth? His fortune was incredibly strong! After examining Ross's brain, Li Baolong learned a shocking secret.

It turns out that Ross and Jess had formed an investment group and come to Southeast Asia. They planned to create a financial crisis there and then profit from it. This time, they had the backing of the established financial magnate, the Morgan family. Ross's Quantum Fund brought a hundred billion dollars, intending to wreak havoc in Southeast Asian countries, sweeping away decades' worth of accumulated wealth, planning to earn hundreds of billions of dollars in just three months. Most outrageous of all, they also planned to heavily short the Hong Kong stock market during Hong Kong's handover, attempting to destroy the Hong Kong economy. My God, these two guys are absolutely insane, their audacity is off the charts! Li Baolong thought to himself, "This time I can't stand idly by; I must stop their plan to destroy Hong Kong's economy. As for the Southeast Asian countries, I can't worry about that now, but I have to get a piece of the pie in this mess."
