Just as Lu Xueqing was being taken to the hospital.
The Marquis's Residence.
Xu Chengyi was also lying on his sickbed.
Since returning from Yandu, he had caught a cold due to the long journey and had fallen seriously ill. However, upon hearing this news, his spirits immediately lifted.
"Hahaha, great!"
Xu Chengyi, beaming with satisfaction, said to the butler, "Young Master Xi is known as a little stock market genius! He started playing the stock market when he was just a teenager. Chairman Li would give him tens of millions of yuan every now and then to hone his skills. Although he lost a lot of money, he's certainly learned a lot! His methods are truly masterful!"
Xu Chengyi suddenly felt that his trip to Yandu was the right one. By getting on Li Zhixi's side, the Xu family's rise to power was promising.
Cough cough cough!
After saying this, he began coughing violently again. His handkerchief, used for coughing, was stained with a streak of blood.
"My lord, please don't worry, go and rest. The doctor said your condition is not good, and your madness... The doctor said that if this continues, you may completely lose consciousness and become... become...!" The steward hesitated, his face full of worry.
"So you've gone insane, huh?" Xu Chengyi shook his head self-deprecatingly. "I heard your whole conversation, no need to hide it from me! Cough cough cough!"
Xu Chengyi took a deep breath and said, "I know my own body well, and I have no hope left! Now that the Xu family has fallen to such a state, I, Xu Chengyi, am ashamed before our ancestors. I only hope to leave a way out for Junwei. This time, the fate of the Xu family rests entirely on Young Master Xi! Cough cough cough!"
The steward, his old eyes reddening, said, “My lord, don’t be discouraged. I have already sent men to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Physician. Others cannot cure your illness, but the Heavenly Physician certainly can! I have already found out that it was that Heavenly Physician who treated Li Zhiyuan’s paralysis, and he was able to walk on the spot! This old servant suspects that this Heavenly Physician is still in Guanzhong!”
Xu Chengyi nodded, "These things depend on fate. Such people are rare and hard to come by. It's just that my karma is too deep, and I have no chance to meet them..."
"Oh, right!" Xu Chengyi suddenly remembered something. He asked, "How is Junwei doing?"
The steward quickly replied, "My lord, please rest assured, the young marquis's hand has healed very well, and the cast will be removed in another month or so! In addition, the prosecution has not found any substantial evidence against the young marquis, and it is estimated that he will be released soon!"
Xu Chengyi nodded. "That's good. After he gets out, you must keep a close eye on him and make sure he keeps a low profile, doesn't cause any more trouble, and doesn't associate with any shady characters! Make sure he learns well from Young Master Xi so that he can shoulder the great responsibility of revitalizing our Xu family in the future! Cough cough cough!"
"Yes, Your Excellency! Please stop talking and get some rest!" the steward said with a pained expression.
Xu Chengyi nodded, took a deep breath, turned over, and slowly closed his eyes.
...
at this time.
Fengtian, the headquarters of Xiongfeng.
News of Hongluan Venture Capital's short selling of Shanchun spread immediately.
“Vice Chairman Zhang, the matter has been investigated and clarified. The stock fluctuations of Shanchun Financial were indeed caused by someone deliberately spreading rumors in the stock market, claiming that Shanchun had collapsed! And the one who bribed the self-media to spread the rumors was none other than Hongluan Venture Capital!”
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Zhang Miao's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I knew this wasn't simple!"
Even before Lu Xueqing called her, she had already sent people to investigate the matter. Now, her subordinates returned with a report: there was indeed something fishy going on!
The subordinate continued, "While spreading rumors, Hongluan Venture Capital sold off Shanchun shares, fanning the flames and causing Shanchun Financial's stock to plummet. Only after the stock price hit rock bottom did Hongluan Venture Capital buy up all the shares at the bottom!"
Zhang Miao took a deep breath, a flash of anger in her beautiful eyes, and slowly uttered two words, "Despicable!"
Then, she picked up the phone and called Lin Yu.
She didn't know if the young marshal knew about this, but she felt she needed to report it.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu was already in a hospital room, staying by his wife's side.
Qi Wei had called him from the ambulance, and he rushed over immediately.
These past few days, he had been meditating in the hotel to recuperate his depleted body, unaware that so many things had happened in the business world.
Looking at his wife who was unconscious, he felt both guilty and heartbroken.
bell!
The phone rang.
Lin Yu was afraid of disturbing his wife, so he went outside to answer the phone.
"Young Marshal, is Madam alright?" Zhang Miao asked with concern.
"Well, I'm fine for now. I just had a fever for a few days and some inflammation. I'll be fine after a few days of rest!" Lin Yu said.
Zhang Miao breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly reported the matter of Hongluan Venture Capital to Lin Yu.
"So it was the Red Phoenix Chamber of Commerce that was behind this?" A surge of frustration welled up in Lin Yu's heart.
“Young Marshal, now that the matter of Shan Chun has been settled, our subsidiary has suffered a crushing defeat and lost everything! What are your plans next…” Zhang Miao asked tentatively.
She couldn't decide what would become of the subsidiary—whether it would be revitalized with new capital or dissolved. Since this matter concerned her wife, she could only consult Lin Yu.
"Who told you everything's settled?" Lin Yu said coldly.
Zhang Miao was taken aback. "But Hongluan has already completed the acquisition of Shanchun's controlling stake..."
Lin Yu snorted and said, "If it were normal business competition, we would accept the outcome of the bet. But this time they spread rumors and used underhanded methods. Can this be called a victory? I will never let this go! You immediately collect evidence and, in the name of Hsiung Feng, report them to the Securities and Futures Commission! Let the Securities and Futures Commission uphold justice!"
"Yes!" Zhang Miao immediately replied.
