The moment their eyes met, Ning Man'an's indifferent yet powerful aura made Cha Meiling gasp for breath!
She took a step back, then turned and rushed to Chen Jingsong's side, her voice sharp and urgent: "Daddy! Wait a minute, Ning Man'an is acting strange!!"
Chen Jingsong was explaining to Cha Meiling in frustration when he was interrupted. He turned around abruptly and glared at her, yelling, "What the hell are you doing now?! Get out of my way!"
Cha Meiling panicked, grabbed him, and said in a deep voice—
“I just heard Ning Man’an instruct her people to use underground channels to convert 500 million yuan into legal funds and flow into Hong Kong stocks. She also intercepted billions of yuan through offshore companies and underground banks.”
Chen Jingsong became suspicious, his sharp gaze sweeping over her: "Why is she intercepting funds? Whose funds is she intercepting? Is this a tactic she uses to short sell?!"
Cha Meiling shook her head, her expression grave: "I don't know, but it doesn't seem like she's shorting Hong Kong stocks or the Ning family!"
Having been in the business world for many years, Chen Jingsong sensed something was wrong in that instant and suddenly looked at Ning Man'an.
But Ning Man'an was looking at the father and daughter calmly, and even gave him a slight twitch of her lips!
Chen Jingsong's angry expression froze instantly, as he suddenly recalled the strange movements in the stock market and his partner's angry outbursts...
Could it be...? Could it be...?
Nimman isn't shorting at all?!
Chen Jingsong slammed down the phone and roared at Ning Man'an, "Ning Man'an, what the hell are you doing?!"
This roar echoed during the 4 PM live broadcast on TV—
"The Hang Seng Index has more than doubled from 600 points yesterday, closing at 1212 points! A huge surge at the close!!"
The decision is final!
The television screen was filled with the joyful cheers of stock market investors and traders, some even weeping with happiness!
This is the biggest increase this month!
It's still quite a bit lower than the normal high of 1741 points, but it's much higher than the low of 694 points this month!
Ning Man'an slowly put down the phone: "It's nothing, Chairman Chen, it's just—I was just playing you. You short, I'm going long!"
In that instant, the entire factory fell into an eerie silence!
These words struck Chen Jingsong like a thunderbolt!
He understood! He understood everything!
That bitch! She's been plotting against him from the very beginning!
What cooperation! What intelligence! It's all fucking bait!
Chen Jingsong wanted nothing more than to devour her alive, and he trembled as he forced out three words through gritted teeth: "Ning! Man! An!"
Ning Man'an, dressed in a white suit, stood up with graceful elegance.
"Thank you very much, Chairman Chen. You went to great lengths a few days ago, contacting overseas accounts and using underground banks to get me 500 million yuan, and then you worked so hard to scrape together this 500 million yuan in cash today..."
“If Chairman Chen hadn’t been so ‘hardworking,’ how would I have had the opportunity to find out so clearly about your money laundering methods and the channels through which you bring in money?”
Chen Jingsong's obese body trembled violently with extreme anger, his eyes bloodshot as he stared intently at Ning Man'an!
"You dare to play me?!"
He understood!
She was using the 500 million yuan in cash she had previously given him to both trace her money laundering activities and inject it into the stock market to drive up stock prices!
At the same time, Ningmanan could also take the opportunity to use more secretive offshore companies and underground money transfer networks to intercept huge amounts of foreign hot money that were trying to escape from the Hong Kong government!
This is the real reason for the Hang Seng Index's crazy surge today!
Ningman'an is planning to kill three birds with one stone!
She's using the money she was given to save the Ning family and the Hong Kong government's stock market!
Ning Man'an's smile carried a cat-and-mouse-like disdain—
"It seems that Chairman Chen also knows what I'm doing. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Otherwise, how would I have discovered that the more than eight billion Hong Kong dollars that you swindled from me back then... are mostly still tied up in some underground banks in Hong Kong and Macau, and haven't been fully transferred out yet."
"So that's why you were able to scrape together another billion for me so 'quickly'. Since this money is still here, I'm taking it."
Before Chen Jingsong could speak, Cha Meiling stared at Ning Man'an in disbelief and exclaimed—
"Impossible!! How could you possibly do that?! Those underground money laundering networks are so complex, how could you possibly..."
Ning Man'an's gaze fell on Cha Meiling's pale, distorted face, and she said coldly—
"Without connections in major banks and underground banks, and without any control over the gray areas, how can I possibly succeed in the gambling industry? Hmm?"
In 1982, electronic transfers were not yet widespread, and large-scale, gray-market fund flows relied heavily on the traditional "bank" system and underground money exchange networks.
Cha Meiling choked abruptly: "You can't do that! It's against the rules!!"
Ning Man'an leisurely lit a cigarette from the lighter beside his secretary: "Of course I can. In the underground banking system, I'm the rule. You so-called international hot money will have to stay in Hong Kong for a while!"
Just then, a slender and graceful figure, also dressed in a white suit, emerged calmly from the shadows of the factory.
“My eldest sister has shares in all the banks and money shops in Hong Kong and Macau, whether they are legitimate or not.”
"My older sister didn't know exactly which channels Chen Jingsong used to launder money before, so she cooperated with you to find out the path of your cash flow!"
Ning Yuan led her people to Ning Man'an's side and stopped, her gaze shifting from Chen Jingsong's flushed face to Cha Meiling—
"Cha Meiling, you've been in the Ning family for so long, yet you didn't know that your eldest sister rose to the position of female gambling queen in Macau by luck?"
Two equally dashing and eye-catching white figures stood side by side, stealing everyone's attention.
When Cha Meiling saw the person's face clearly, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed angrily, "Ning Yuan?! How is it you?! You...you shouldn't be in the car downstairs?!"
Ning Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, her eyes filled with mockery—
"My elder sister invited me to watch the play. If I don't come up, how can I see you putting on a show? And how can I... properly entertain you and your daughter, and those shady rats behind you?"
