Three days later, before the news about the press conference had even gone viral, a piece of news instantly thrust Mo Zhexuan into the spotlight. The Oriental Daily, with the headline "Mo Zhexuan is a complete liar," wrote:
"Recently, we interviewed Mr. Li Guanghu, the former chairman of Guanghu Real Estate. He described the recent news surrounding Guanghu Real Estate as a ploy by Mo Zhexuan to hype up its stock price, hoping to sell off the shares and make a fortune."
"According to Mr. Li Guanghu, on the morning of October 10th, he received a call from Mr. Li Jiacheng of Cheung Kong Holdings, who said he wanted to discuss acquiring a 22.3% stake in Guanghu Real Estate. He also told him that another institution, Mo Zhexuan, also held a significant stake in Guanghu Real Estate."
"At 3 p.m., in the office of the chairman of Guanghu Real Estate, Mr. Li Jiacheng initially offered HK$800 million to acquire his 25% stake in Guanghu Real Estate, but he rejected the offer and eventually raised it to HK$1 billion."
"But just then, Wu Weidong, the general manager of Guanghu Real Estate, told him that Mo Zhexuan from Ruitai Securities was visiting. At first, Mr. Li Guanghu didn't want to pay any attention to him, after all, he had sent his child to a juvenile detention center. But then he thought that having another competitor would also get a better price, so he asked his secretary to invite Mo Zhexuan up."
"But to his surprise, Mo Zhexuan arrogantly mocked him upon arriving at the office, claiming to be Guanghu Real Estate's largest shareholder. He then dragged Mr. Li Jiacheng into the conference room for a secret talk. Sensing something was amiss, he immediately agreed to Mr. Li Jiacheng's HK$1 billion acquisition request."
"But it was too late. An hour later, he learned that Li Jiacheng had transferred all of his shares to Mo Zhexuan. It was like a bolt from the blue. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Then Mr. Li Jiacheng left."
"At this point, Mo Zhexuan arrogantly threatened him and urged them to drive up Guanghu Real Estate's share price together, saying it would benefit everyone. Mr. Li Guanghu, seeing that the situation was irreconcilable, agreed because it was in his best interest. If Guanghu Real Estate's share price plummeted, the losses would be enormous."
"The two of them agreed to wait until Guanghu Real Estate's share price broke through HK$400 per share before slowly selling out, so as not to cause a sharp drop in Guanghu Real Estate's share price. But they didn't expect Mo Zhexuan to be such a despicable person."
"When the stock price just reached around HK$375, they dumped it and simultaneously held a press conference to announce the acquisition of Mr. Li Jiacheng's shares. This meant that he had already sold all his shares, which triggered the Guanghu Real Estate stock price to rise."
"As for why Mr. Li Jiacheng chose to transfer his 22.3% stake in Guanghu Real Estate to Mo Zhexuan, after careful analysis, it may be related to several undeveloped plots of land held by Guanghu Real Estate. Mo Zhexuan used these as bargaining chips to reach an agreement with Mr. Li Jiacheng."

The Oriental Daily's report caused an uproar as soon as it was published. Mo Zhexuan's reputation in Hong Kong plummeted instantly. Some Hong Kong citizens who had lost all their money by buying Guanghu Real Estate stocks went to the Ruitai Securities office building to cause trouble, and cursed and criticized Mo Zhexuan.
................
At this time, in an office on the top floor of Ruitai Securities' office building.
While smoking a cigar, Mo Zhexuan listened to Wang Pengfei introduce the current situation of the acquisition of Guanghu Real Estate shares.
"Mr. Mo! We have acquired a total of 1.53 million shares of Guanghu Real Estate at a price between HK$90 and HK$120, spending HK$153 million. We now hold a total of 45.3% of Guanghu Real Estate's shares."
"However, we discovered that another institution in the stock market was also buying up Guanghu Real Estate's shares. Although the operation was very secretive, there were still traces. We analyzed that this group of institutions probably holds more shares than us, at least over 2 million shares..."
Wang Pengfei blurted out the situation of acquisitions in the stock market, and also told the news that he found another group of institutions acquiring Guanghu Real Estate in the stock market.
"Pengfei! I believe you should have guessed the true identity of this organization!" The cigar in Mo Zhexuan's hand had burned to the end. After extinguishing it in the ashtray, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"We have a vague suspicion, and while we can't be 100% certain, we are 60% certain that Li Ka-shing's Changjiang Fund is secretly buying the dip."
Wang Pengfei expressed his judgment.
"I think it's Li Jiacheng who's taking all the benefits and now I'm the one with the mud in my pants. It's a big deal, but it's also a big deal, damn it."
Mo Zhexuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had gone to great lengths to get the controlling rights of Guanghu Real Estate, but in the end the real beneficiary was Li Jiacheng, the old bastard. Not only did he get two pieces of land for free, he also now controls at least 20% of the shares of Guanghu Real Estate. He was worthy of being the future richest man Li. He had to admit his skill.
"Alright! Now let's figure out how to resolve this public opinion crisis! If this continues, I'll really become a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to beat."
Standing in the office building and looking at the Hong Kong citizens holding banners and protesting downstairs, I couldn't help but feel a headache. Although Li Guanghu's disgusting method would not cause any actual loss of interests, the impact on his reputation would be huge.
"I think we should immediately announce to the public that we did not crash Guanghu Real Estate's stock price, and at the same time sue Li Guanghu for spreading rumors. We should make this as big a fuss as possible. It would be best to announce Guanghu Real Estate's development plan as soon as possible to let the outside world see our determination."
Wang Pengfei immediately came up with a strategy to deal with the situation.
"I'll do as you say and sue Oriental Daily News at the same time. Winning or not is not important. What's important is diverting public attention and getting me out of the spotlight."
As soon as Mo Zhexuan saw the Oriental Daily newspaper on the table, a fierce light flashed in his eyes. Whenever there was any movement, this newspaper would be the most excited.
After this, the Ma family will be bankrupt, and the Oriental Daily News will be taken over. Isn't that little bitch Ma Xiaoli smart and coquettish? When the time comes, I will make her kneel on the ground and sing "Conquer" to relieve my hatred.
"Okay! I'll notify the Shixing Law Firm right away."
"Go call Li Lixin, the head of Marriott Investment Company, and have him accompany me to Guanghu Real Estate. It's time to take control of Guanghu Real Estate."
