After she had cried enough, the fear in her heart gradually subsided, and she spoke in a hoarse voice: "But Brother Zhu, those antiques and treasures are worth at least tens of millions. How am I supposed to redeem them within ten days? If I can't do it, my fate will be even more miserable!"
Thinking about this, she felt a genuine sense of fear and her whole body trembled.
"This..." Brother Zhu hesitated for a moment, then bent down and said in a low voice, "Madam, why don't you take advantage of these ten days to escape, go live abroad, and never come back? That way you can avoid this calamity."
Liu Ruyi's eyes widened instantly, and she instinctively retorted, "How is that possible!"
Brother Zhu said cautiously, "I am, after all, the steward here. I can find a way to transfer the people around you away, and then create an opportunity for you to escape at night. What do you think?"
At this moment, Liu Ruyi's heart was clearly struggling and wavering.
But when she recalled those glorious years, the days when she was admired and praised by everyone.
Then I thought about the meager balance in my card; I might not be able to survive after living abroad for two months.
In reality, if that money is used sparingly, it could easily last an average person three to five years.
But ever since Liu Ruyi married Yi Hai, she has been used to spending money like water, so how could she possibly be frugal?
In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, "No! I can't leave. All the effort I've put in over the years will be for nothing if I leave. I won't give up as long as there's even a sliver of a chance to turn things around."
Zhu Ge hesitated for a moment, as if he had something to say but didn't know whether he should.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyi quickly questioned, "Brother Zhu, do you have a plan? Why are you deliberately not telling me?"
Brother Zhu waved his hands repeatedly, "No... I didn't mean to not tell you, I just felt there was a risk."
Liu Ruyi snorted coldly, "I've taken so many risks, why would I be afraid of this one? Just tell me your ideas, and even if it fails, I won't blame you. I'll just consider it bad luck."
After all, he was a trusted confidant who had followed her for so many years, and Liu Ruyi still trusted him from the bottom of her heart.
So Brother Zhu simply confessed, "Actually, I've been paying attention to the stock market recently and I've noticed that there's a company whose stock is very high and stable. If we go all in and invest, we might have a chance."
He told Liu Ruyi all the company names he knew, detailed information, and stock trading returns.
After a night of observation and reflection, Liu Ruyi finally made up her mind.
Ten days later, Yi Hai found Liu Ruyi on time, his expression sinister, and said, "The ten-day deadline is up. You'd better not try to bargain or play any tricks, or I'll really beat you to death!"
Hearing the hostility hidden in the last sentence, Liu Ruyi was still frightened and trembled.
However, she quickly mustered her courage and pulled out a bank card from her bag. "Here is fifty million. You can send someone to redeem the antique immediately, or buy something better."
Yi Hai squinted at her incredulously and asked suspiciously, "You wouldn't dare to play tricks on me again, would you?"
Just ten days ago, she was so poor that she only had a few hundred thousand left. How did she suddenly have fifty million more?
"I won't do such a foolish thing again," Liu Ruyi said calmly. "You can check if you don't believe me."
Yi Hai's face remained grim: "Did you borrow money from loan sharks or rob a bank? If you use money obtained through crime to harm me, I'll make you regret it."
Liu Ruyi knew that if she didn't explain herself clearly, he still wouldn't let her off the hook.
After much hesitation, she confessed: "Recently, the stock of a listed company has been very profitable. I initially invested several hundred thousand yuan and made several million yuan. Then I gritted my teeth and invested all of it. After ten days, it doubled more than ten times and I made fifty million yuan."
As Yi Hai listened, a surprising light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and extended his hand.
Liu Ruyi was startled and reflexively thought he was going to slap her, so she reached out to cover her head.
Yi Hai pressed his hand firmly on her shoulder, eagerly asking, "Which company is this? Tell me!"
From hundreds of thousands to fifty million! Who wouldn't want to invest in a stock that makes so much money?
Yi Hai imagined that if he could earn dozens of times his initial investment, wouldn't it be possible to regain control of Hainan Company?
Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with greed.
Liu Ruyi was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously told him the company name.
"Very good!" Yi Hai patted her shoulder with satisfaction. It seemed that this woman was still somewhat useful.
Having obtained the information he wanted, he contacted the company's trader that very day and spent the entire night studying the stock price increase of the listed company.
I plan to invest some money first to test the waters.
...
Yi Tianran watched the screen for a while, and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips.
A fish has taken the bait.
It's time to bait again.
Half an hour later, she disguised herself as a pot-bellied CEO and joined Yi Laosan's drinking party.
After a few rounds of drinks and everyone had relaxed, she casually mentioned, "Third Master Yi, your Second Master has been doing so well lately, making quite a bit of money. Just the other day, he acquired two antiques from the Ming Dynasty, which have already been sold for over a hundred million. It really makes me envious!"
Yi Laosan was visibly taken aback, and unconsciously let out a burp. "Is that so?"
"What, you didn't know?" Yi Tianran patted her round belly and sighed, "He's so good at making money, I even asked him for tips, but he was so mysterious and wouldn't tell me. I thought you two were brothers, he would have told you long ago!"
Yi Laosan choked for a moment, unconsciously clenching the cup in his hand, his eyes turning red.
If he really knew how to make big money, he wouldn't have been living such a miserable life for the past six months, not even going to casinos for a long time. If he continues to suffer like this, he'll go crazy.
That's Yi Lao Er! He's secretly making a fortune without telling his brothers. He's utterly heartless.
He was determined to complain to the boss and find out a way to make money from Yi Hai.
Yi Laosan secretly made up his mind, but still tried to evade the issue verbally, "Hehehe, this method of making money is naturally a secret. Otherwise, if everyone in the world followed suit, there would be no poor people in the world. Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"
Seeing his expression, Yi Tianran knew that her goal had been achieved, and used the excuse of being drunk to leave first.
...
Standing in the night breeze, a cool breeze brushed against my face, dispelling the strong smell of alcohol.
Perhaps it was the night that always brought unease, for Yi Tianran suddenly heard the sound of struggling coming from afar.
"Let go of me! Stop! I won't go with you!"
The woman's voice sounded familiar; it seemed like I'd heard it somewhere before.
After thinking for three seconds, she finally realized who the voice belonged to, and a shiver ran through her body.
