Liberation, a French newspaper.
As a progressive media outlet, they had started developing their internet presence early, amassing over 20 million followers across various social media platforms.
Today, they suddenly published a news article that garnered millions of clicks within just one hour.
The news exposed Fars Company's tax evasion practices.
In the article, Fars's financial activities over the past seven years were detailed extensively.
Upon learning about Fars Company's actions, French netizens were outraged.
"What the hell is the French government doing? How could they not discover this?"
"They're too busy splitting the spoils, those bastards."
"Fine them! They must be fined to death!"
After receiving the news, relevant authorities immediately dispatched personnel to Fars Company.
They detained all senior executives for investigation and froze all their accounts!
The next day, the investigation results were released.
Fars Company was found guilty of severe tax evasion and faced astronomical fines!
The 30 billion that Huajin Company had just transferred wouldn't be enough to fill this hole!
After Fars Company's collapse, Huajin Investment, as the largest shareholder, was also severely impacted.
They were exposed for illegal fund misappropriation, and authorities had begun investigating.
Upon this news, Huajin Investment's stock price immediately plummeted.
Ye Chen received this news while sitting on the toilet.
Paid toilet breaks - he usually spent two to three hours there daily.
"How did they find out? Who provided the information?"
He raged in the bathroom, phone in hand.
With Fars Company's collapse,
His plan to pursue Wang Yixue was completely ruined.
The 30 billion hadn't even been invested in the project yet, and now it had gone straight into the French government's coffers.
30 billion!
For someone like him who considered it a loss not to pick up money on the street and would even taste garbage truck contents for potential gain, not getting an advantage kept him awake at night.
Losing so much at once made his heart bleed.
What made it even more unbearable was Huajin Investment's devastating losses.
The stock price was in free fall, and now the company was desperately spending money to save the market.
Huajin Investment was one of several major companies under the Dragon Soul Organization, with total assets around 500 billion.
This stock market crash had cost them at least 100 billion!
"Dragon King, there's another situation to report - the main reason for these losses is that someone took the opportunity to short us."
"They invested 80 billion yuan in total. The organization has investigated and found that this money came from Teng Wang Group and Tang Corporation..."
The voice continued reporting through the phone.
Upon hearing about Teng Wang Group and Tang Corporation,
Ye Chen's face turned green.
Why would these two companies do such a thing?
Where had things gone wrong? His plan should have been foolproof.
Wang Rulong wouldn't dare betray him.
Wang Yixue should have been kept in the dark!
Could that useless Tang Yu have discovered something?
Him?
"My identity hasn't been exposed, has it?"
Ye Chen asked coldly.
"No, Dragon King's identity remains absolutely confidential!"
"Good. What's losing 100 billion? Once I take over the four major families, this money will come back ten or hundredfold!"
Ye Chen hung up after saying this.
As long as his identity remained hidden, he could find another way to win over Wang Yixue!
To conquer a woman, he had ten thousand methods!
As for Tang Yu!
The money he made this time, he would pay back with his life someday!
Then he took out his phone and sent a message to his subordinate Chi Yin.
"Within two weeks, you must find dirt on Tang Corporation. I want the Tang family to suffer!"
After sending the message, he left the bathroom.
Walking to the lawn downstairs, he quickly caught a half-meter-long snake.
After catching it, he easily removed its fangs.
This way, the snake would be harmless.
He walked to Building 8 with a cold smile, where Qin Kexin, the young miss of the Qin family, lived.
He hadn't found an opportunity to get close to Qin Kexin these past few days.
If so, he'd create an opportunity himself!
Seeing no one around, he easily threw the snake through the second-floor window, then stood below waiting for his chance to play the hero!
Creating accidents to build goodwill and making the target fall in love step by step - this was his specialty!
...
"Ding, host has successfully survived the plot, rewarded with Moonlight Hotel, transferred to host's name."
The system prompt suddenly rang in Tang Yu's ears as he was lying at home being lazy.
He immediately sat up in bed.
"What the hell? How did I survive the plot?"
He was completely confused, as he hadn't done anything at home.
"System, what did I do?"
He silently asked in his mind.
"Successfully survived Chapter 88's plot."
The system's voice responded.
Tang Yu thought for a moment before remembering the plot of Chapter 88.
In this chapter, Dragon King Ye Chen's scheme was supposed to succeed, with Wang Yixue falling into his trap and Teng Wang Group's 50 billion being frozen.
Then would come Wang Rulong's power grab and his womanizing plot.
"I get it."
Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.
After working so hard to act and survive for so long, he finally got his deserved reward.
In a great mood, he got up and tidied himself, preparing to check out his new reward.
While Moonlight Hotel sounded ordinary,
It was extremely famous in Su Hang.
It was Su Hang's only seven-star hotel!
Even in all of China, it ranked among the top luxury hotels!
It was worth about 20 billion - Tang Yu hadn't expected the damn system to be so generous this time.
Although the Tang family was already wealthy,
Who would complain about having too much money?
Of course, it would have been even better if the system had given him some ancient martial arts manual or survival reward instead.
Walking to the garage, just as Tang Yu was about to pick a sports car to drive, his phone rang.
He looked at his phone and saw it was from the company.
"What is it?"
"Young Master Tang, the 30 billion investment transferred to Teng Wang Group days ago has been returned, plus an additional 15 billion in profits."
"What?"
Tang Yu began to feel something was wrong.
Wasn't this money supposed to be invested in the new energy project by Wang Yixue and get frozen?
How did it come back with an extra 15 billion in profits?
Making money was a happy thing.
But this wasn't right!
"Don't tell me the plot has derailed again."
Tang Yu quickly hung up and called Wang Yixue.
"What is it, darling? Missing me?"
Wang Yixue's coquettish voice came through the phone.
Tang Yu instantly remembered her photos in a bunny girl costume.
He coughed twice and said: "What's the situation with our investment project from last time?"
"Oh, I suddenly discovered some issues with the partner company, investigated and found out someone was trying to scam our Wang family."
"So I used the investment money to short them instead, made a small profit. I'll let you know next time there's a good money-making opportunity, mwah~"
Wang Yixue gave Tang Yu a kiss over the phone.
