Chapter 631: Zi Yi and Lu Jingye Taking Action Together In the Economic War.
The mysterious force was very strong and the abundance of its funds had reached a terrifying degree.
Not only the Lu Group were unable to resist them. Even with the higher-ups sending people to help, they were unable to resist them.
There were many people who had keenly perceived something.
“It is simply impossible for a multinational corporation of several international groups to have such a massive amount of funds entering the market.”
“Could it be that some other country’s government is trying to destroy the Lu Group?”
“Why didn’t the capital’s higher-ups increase the inflow of funds?”
“It’s possible that even they do not have that ability!”
The big Boss of a multinational group, who had keenly detected the change, had immediately ordered for their subordinates to stop the attack.
“We can’t interfere anymore or else the company itself will be at risk.”
However, some other Bosses had a differing opinion.
“This is the perfect opportunity, increase our funds. We just have to take down the Lu Group’s XX subsidiary company.”
…
This economic war was going from bad to worse and all the financial circles around the globe were involved.
However, that mysterious force was moving around with ease.
Just when many forces jumped in and got involved, they discovered that they had fallen into the trap of the mysterious force.
“Not good, that mysterious force is not only aiming for the Lu Group. They are also aiming for us!”
Those who had fallen into the trap were frightened and hastily commanded their subordinates to protect their home base.
Imperial time, 3 a.m in the morning.
It was extremely silent, as it was the time when most people had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Lu Group’s overseas industries were being lost with each passing minute and the three brothers of the Lu Family were all livid. Their expressions were extremely terrifying.
“We’re finished. This time around, the Lu Group is really finished.”
Eldest Master Lu could only watch on as their subsidiary companies were attacked one by one. He no longer appeared as stern as before and he was immersed in an unspeakable frustration, while he looked as if he was extremely depressed.
The expressions of Second Master Lu and Third Master Lu were not much better either.
Even though Third Master Lu did not understand business, at the sight of how the various executives appeared dejected, he also knew what the Lu Group had lost.
Things seemed to have reached a foregone conclusion.
But at this moment, the mysterious force suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, another two powerful forces entered the fray.
Even though the two forces seemed to be approaching in a gentle manner, one of them was extremely powerful, while the other was like an autumn wind that swept away all the fallen leaves, as it left nothing behind wherever it went.
“Who has gotten involved now? To think that they had stopped that powerful mysterious force!”
“This doesn’t make sense. It’s clear that the mysterious force is the government of a certain country, it’s impossible that they would be forced to stop by two other forces?”
“Could it be that two other countries have also gotten involved?”
“No, it doesn’t look like it!”
“But who would have the capability to do so? Even if Lu Jingye was still around, he couldn’t possibly have managed to do that?”
“Even if Lu Jingye was around, he doesn’t have such a strong financial backing to stop that mysterious force!”
…
Inside the secret base.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye each faced a virtual screen in front of them.
They were seated with their backs facing each other. Ever since 10 p.m last night, they had only exchanged a few sentences. However, every sentence gave the other party extremely important information.
Lu Jingye was responsible for dealing with the entire financial circle, while Zi Yi was responsible for being his financial backing.
At 2 a.m in the morning.
Lu Jingye said, “Yiyi, I need financial backing that is greater than the national treasury of Country A.”
The corner of her lips curved up and her ten slender fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard as she said, “I will ‘lend out’ money from the treasury of five different countries, one after the other, in half an hour’s time. Get ready.”
“Alright.”
Following that, neither of them spoke to each other again.
However, no one knew that with the black technology from the future, Zi Yi had soundlessly misappropriated the national treasury of five different countries to allow Lu Jingye to compete with Country A, along with the whole financial circle around the world.
At 3 a.m, Lu Jingye had forced the mysterious power to stop.
At the same time, trillions of dollars were lost from Country A’s national treasury.
In addition, the funds of many large corporations who got involved in this war began to evaporate at a shocking speed.
At 3:30 a.m in the morning, the world’s stock market had plunged.
The entire financial circle fell into a great panic.
At 4 a.m, the economic war finally came to an end.
The Lu Group who had been eyed up by everyone for so long failed to hold on and many other companies had also declared bankruptcy the next day.
The world’s financial circle had a great movement after that and there was a great shuffle.
More than half of the world’s top 100 companies had been replaced overnight.
It did not take long for a technology company called [Future] to leap up the rankings and become the number one in the world.
Of course… that was another story for the future.
…
At 4:30 a.m in the morning.
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye turned off their virtual screens.
Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, “When you were busy, Rick wanted to attack the Song Jewelry and so I sent him a big gift.”
There was no need for him to think to already know what the ‘big gift’ was that his wife had sent Rick. He merely responded with a nod and stood up as he walked over to her.
Zi Yi reached out her hands to him and pouted. “Ah Jing, my hands are sore.”
She had been typing on the keyboard for the entire night and even if her hands were not really sore, she still had to pretend and act spoiled.
Lu Jingye squatted in front of her and massaged her hands in a loving manner.
Zi Yi looked at him, who appeared very calm, and she asked with a giggle, “You’re now the richest man in the world once again. How are you feeling?”
Lu Jingye did not even look up as he corrected her. “It’s not me. You’re the richest one.”
He paused for two seconds before he continued to say, “I’m only working for you.”
Zi Yi continued to giggle. After she had her laugh, she pulled out one of her hands from his and placed it on his cheek. “Then I’ll give you a good salary in the future.”
“No need.” Lu Jingye’s chivalry came out and he said, “I will be able to support you with the salary I earn when I give lectures at M.Uni in the future.”
“Then… what do we do with all that money?”
“Don’t you like counting numbers? You can count them when you’re bored.”
“…”
Zi Yi thought about it and unexpectedly felt that this was a good idea.
She pulled out her other hand and snaked it around his neck before leaning towards him and giving him a peck on the lips.
She continued to act spoiled. “Ah Jing, I’m so tired and sleepy.”
“Wrap your arms around my neck and hold on to me tightly,” Lu Jingye said. After Zi Yi held on to him firmly, he stood up and carried her together.
He grabbed her by the waist and picked her up in a princess carry. While walking, he said, “You can sleep for a few more hours tomorrow. I won’t wake you up.”
Zi Yi closed her eyes and leaned her head against his chest as she responded with a nod.
By the time Lu Jingye carried Zi Yi into the bedroom, she had already fallen asleep.
Lu Jingye gently laid her on the bed, and removed her shoes before he took out his mobile phone and headed outside.
He still had plenty of aftermath work to do.
When Zi Yi woke up again, it was around 3 p.m in the afternoon.
She subconsciously touched the area beside her. There was no one there.
She got up and washed herself. When she opened the bedroom door, she saw Lu Jingye leaning against the sofa, as he had fallen asleep.
She hastily turned around and went back into the bedroom and took a blanket as she gently covered Lu Jingye with the blanket.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jingye had opened his eyes at that moment.
Zi Yi said discontentedly, “Why are you sleeping here?”
Lu Jingye sat up and removed the blanket as he said, “I was only closing my eyes slightly to take a rest.”
Zi Yi sat next to him, grabbed his wrists, and checked his pulse. She furrowed her eyebrows. “You have been on edge these past few days.”
She then stood up and pulled him up along with her. “Go to bed first, while I’ll cook some tonic soup for you.”
