This young man from the mainland proved himself to be a true hero with his courage, bravery and means. What is most admirable is that after the great victory, he chose to quietly retreat behind the scenes without seeking fame or fortune. This kind of mind and bearing is rare.

Although Li Zhaoji was full of gratitude and respect for Zhou Qi and wanted to make it public, he knew that once the truth was revealed, more people might be implicated, including Li Guangyu and Huo Yongnian. The current situation had just stabilized, and Hong Kong could not withstand any new waves. Therefore, he chose to use smooth words to gently pass over the topic.

In a conversation with senior officials of the Hong Kong government, Li Zhaoji carefully analyzed the opponent's situation: "According to my observation, the opponent's funds are about 150 billion, but they have lost 20 billion so far, and 60 billion is trapped in the stock market, which means that they only have about 70 billion in funds available."

“Having suffered such a huge loss, I don’t expect the other side to give up easily,” Li Zhaoji added. “However, without new large-scale capital injection, it will be very difficult for them to shake the market again.”

The senior officials of the Hong Kong government nodded solemnly, saying that they would conduct an in-depth investigation into the matter and asked Li Zhaoji to continue leading the work of stabilizing the stock market. "For the sake of Hong Kong's economy, we will do our best. Mr. Li, if you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Li Zhaoji responded: "I believe that the truth will come out one day." On that day, the stock market was closed, and the Hang Seng Index was fixed at 7615 points. The whole city was discussing this thrilling financial battle. In particular, the last amazing rebound was called "two sky rockets" and became a hot topic on the streets.

Huo Yongnian left Li Zhaoji's company in a hurry and hurried back to the villa. As soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The room was in chaos, with items scattered all over the floor. Tang Junnian and others stood on one side, their faces as pale as snow, obviously frightened. The group of foreigners on the opposite side looked dejected, as if they had just experienced a failure.

Before Huo Yongnian could ask, he noticed a pool of bright red liquid spreading next to the sofa. Then, Yi'er's figure slowly emerged from behind the sofa. She was naked from the waist up, with blood on her face and body. She casually threw away the broken red wine bottle in her hand, and the bottle fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Yi Er dragged the unconscious Pierce towards Huo Yongnian, his movements were so easy that it seemed as if Pierce weighed nothing. Pierce was covered in blood, and the wound on his neck was bleeding. Yi Er wiped the blood off his face and licked it with his tongue, while speaking words that Huo Yongnian could not understand.

The translator beside him stammered as he explained, "Lord Il said that Pierce lost, and according to the rules he must die... She will be in charge here from now on... She is very angry now, and she demands that you kneel down and show your obedience to her... If you do this, she may be in a better mood and help us recover our losses."

Huo Yongnian had seen Yi'er's madness before, but seeing her treat Pierce so cruelly was still shocking to him. His stomach churned, but he resisted the discomfort and ignored Yi'er. Instead, he walked towards Tang Junnian and asked, "How much have we lost?"

Tang Junnian's expression was extremely heavy, and his voice was trembling a little: "All the money we made before was lost, and an additional loss of 5 billion! But now this is not the most important thing. The key is how can we leave here safely."

Suddenly, Pierce's weak voice came from behind, accusing Huo Yongnian of providing wrong information. Hearing this, Tang Junnian and others immediately raised their hands, as if they were afraid that any small action would lead to a greater disaster.

Huo Yongnian's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he realized what the unusual voice meant.

"Wait..." He prayed silently in his heart and uttered a few words of English, trying to explain: "This is really not my fault. The information I provided is accurate."

"I didn't know that Li Zhaoji arranged two teams... one in the open, one in the dark..." He continued, "Only he knew about this matter, and even the Hong Kong government was kept in the dark. He has always been cautious in doing things."

After listening to the translator's explanation, Yi Er licked his fingers gently and then hooked his finger at Huo Yongnian. Huo Yongnian took a deep breath and slowly approached. A second later, the cold muzzle of the gun was pressed tightly against his temple.

Yi'er's actions clearly conveyed his intention. Huo Yongnian felt unprecedented humiliation, and his body trembled with fear.

Yi Er suddenly grabbed Huo Yongnian's hair and pulled it hard, causing him to kneel on the ground. The intense pain and humiliation made Huo Yongnian almost unable to breathe, and his nose was filled with a disgusting smell.

"Hmm..." Yi Er adjusted his posture and said something in an incomprehensible language. The translator looked at Huo Yongnian coldly and said, "You have leaked the secret and caused huge losses. Everyone has to pay the price for it."

Pierce also paid a heavy price for his greed and Huo Yongnian's negligence. If he had known this earlier, he would have withdrawn his investment earlier instead of adding the last 20 billion.

When Il pointed the bottle at Pierce's neck, Pierce was full of reluctance. His last words were also regretful for the matter. This made Il very angry.

If he hadn't wanted to teach Huo Yongnian a lesson, he might have died long ago. But Ir learned the hard way and found that this was not the result he wanted. Compared with Pierce, Huo Yongnian's performance was really unsatisfactory.

Yier took the gun indifferently, stuffed it into Huo Yongnian's mouth, and pulled his head with a little force.

"Wait..." Huo Yongnian suppressed his nausea and raised his hands to quickly explain: "We can't leak the news. Doing so will not do us any good."

"Do you think I will believe you?" the translator relayed Il's words.

"It really wasn't us. We also lost billions. Who would joke with their own money and life?" Huo Yongnian added hastily, "Please think about it from another perspective. How could we betray? Once we are discovered, not only will you not let us go, but the Hong Kong government will not forgive us either. This is something only a madman would do."

"Li Zhao was suspicious by nature. He didn't reveal the entire plan to us. And it turned out that my prediction of around 6,500 points was correct."

"It might just be an accident, we didn't do anything special..."

"Ms. Il, you said we could recover the losses, and we believed you. Now, we have to think about the next steps, right?"

At this moment, he felt cold sweat sliding down his cheeks.

As one of the four great families, he knew that the more he had, the more he was worried about losing. At this moment, he realized that if something unexpected happened, everything would be gone.
