Buy, 140 Million

The young man hurriedly entered the stocks. It would have been better if he hadn't looked, because the moment he did, his face darkened.

Was this guy just buying at random?

These stocks had been unstable lately.

They often plummeted, and today they had run into problem after problem, causing plenty of people to dump them. Buying now? And throwing 140 million at them all at once? He was either insane or an idiot.

"Are you sure there's money on this card? 140 million? Are you here to cause trouble?" The young man looked at him suspiciously.

"Cause trouble? Why don't you swipe it and see for yourself?"

Zhuang Xin replied irritably, then looked at Dong Pan. "Interested?"

"Uh..." Dong Pan knew a little about stocks, but not much. She usually only bought them for fun, relying entirely on the young man named Wang Dong to guide her into making a little money. Seeing Zhuang Xin planning to invest 140 million at once, she became interested too. "Sure. I happen to have a few million in spare cash. Wang Dong, help me buy some too."

Even Lin Xinya, who had never played the stock market, pulled out a card and pouted. "How about... I follow along with a little? This card has my private savings. There's still over nine million in it."

Zhuang Xin smiled and said nothing. If they had the nerve to follow him, then so be it.

Stocks rose and fell.

Even with the system ability, he wasn't completely certain.

Still, since the figures had been calculated using the system ability, they probably wouldn't crash too badly, right?

If this ability was useless, achieving the Stock Market Tycoon achievement would probably be difficult.

"Miss Dong, Miss Lin... you want to play along with him?" Wang Dong thought he had misheard and stared stupidly at the two women.

This was obviously unreliable, wasn't it? He was just buying randomly.

Even if they had money, they couldn't waste it like this.

"Of course! If we lose money, I'll kill this brat!" Dong Pan waved her fist and glared viciously at Zhuang Xin.

Zhuang Xin merely shrugged, unconcerned. Once the purchases had been made—

Wang Dong hesitated for a moment. Out of professional ethics, he still asked Zhuang Xin for his phone number.

Since this guy was so rich, once he took a loss, Wang Dong could recommend a few stocks that would let him earn back a little. Then he would have another major client in the future.

They exchanged phone numbers and added each other on social media.

Zhuang Xin left the trading hall, and Dong Pan chased after him. "Hey, where are you going?"

"To eat." Zhuang Xin waved his hand and coolly got into his sports car.

The two women were left standing in the wind. Dong Pan couldn't help muttering, "With the way he is... we just followed him with several million. Little Lin, do you think... we'll lose money?"

Lin Xinya covered her mouth and giggled. "Even if you lose, it's nothing to you. It's only a few million, isn't it? That's about what you spend on a piece of jewelry."

Unexpectedly, Dong Pan was displeased. She mumbled, "What do you mean, a piece of jewelry costs a few million? It's all money... I was planning to go shopping, but now it looks like I'll have to sell this bracelet. It cost over seven hundred thousand when I bought it."

"Yes, yes, over seven hundred thousand! The one on your left is even more expensive. Sister Han'er gave it to you for your birthday. It's worth over ten million. Sell that one instead."

"Pah, pah, pah! How could I? If Sister Han'er found out, wouldn't she scold me to death?" Dong Pan rolled her eyes. The two arrived at the corner, got into a red Maserati, and drove away.

Zhuang Xin, meanwhile, arrived at a secluded beach. He parked by the roadside, rolled down the window to enjoy the breeze, and took out his phone.

The matter of his supposedly repaying kindness with ingratitude had become a huge uproar...

The debate was still raging.

After all, Zhuang Xin had only produced some ambiguous evidence. It could only prove that he might have been deliberately targeted; it couldn't completely clear his name!

But this time...

Zhuang Xin sent the text messages in which Xu Pei had threatened him for five million to all those influencers, big and small!

Having tasted success last time, those people went crazy and immediately released the exclusive material.

Instantly, there was an uproar!

At the center of the storm, Zhuang Xin calmly took out his phone and made a call.

A deep voice came from the other end. "Hello? Who is this?"

"It's me, Zhuang Xin."

"Zhuang... Young Master Zhuang..."

The voice on the other end began to tremble.

"Have you considered what I told you before? Ten million is something you could never earn in a lifetime! But now, it's within your reach, and there won't be any downside! After all, you're only clarifying one matter. You should know that opportunities like this are rare."

"I..." The person on the other end fell silent for a moment. He had watched all kinds of videos and news online. Naturally, he also knew that public opinion had begun to shift.

If he didn't make a decision now, it would be too late.

"Fine! Young Master Zhuang, I agree!" The person finally consented.

A bright smile appeared on Zhuang Xin's face.

Now...

The matter was finally resolved.

And those newspapers that had banded together to target him would face a tidal wave of attacks!

Not long after, a video was sent to Zhuang Xin's phone.

Zhuang Xin received the video, smiled, and replied, "Once this is over, I'll transfer the money to you, so you don't back out at the last minute!"

One had to be wary of others. Zhuang Xin couldn't possibly transfer the money directly.

Otherwise, he might release the video, only for this person to turn around and accuse him instead.

Wouldn't all his efforts have been wasted?

"Okay!"

The other side replied with a message, then fell silent.

Facing the sea breeze, Zhuang Xin looked at the churning waters, and his smile turned eerie.

"It's time!"

Zhuang Xin sent the video to numerous influencers as well.

Moments later, all of Doushi exploded!

"What is this?"

"My god! Something like this actually happened?"

"These media outlets are nothing but parasites!"

In the video, an employee from a newspaper summarized the recent events!

Then he apologized to the public and explained the entire course of events!

For traffic, these newspapers had maliciously ruined a person's reputation!

Whoosh~

Countless replies appeared beneath the video!

For a time, these media outlets became the target of everyone's condemnation.

Some people were so furious that they went under numerous official accounts to leave comments, venting their anger completely!

They felt as if they had been fooled, as if they had been treated like idiots and monkeys for others to toy with.

But merely posting comments couldn't quell their anger.

For a time, all kinds of reports flooded Doushi.

With Doushi's shareholders intentionally lending a hand, numerous media accounts were banned.

Accounts with over a million followers, built through years of hard work, were destroyed in an instant.

Faced with overwhelming reports, these media outlets tried desperately to clear their names, but ultimately failed.

The enraged crowd that had been fooled paid no attention to their explanations.

The wave of reports continued.

Furious abuse stormed every comment section in an instant.

Numerous media outlets were left wailing in misery.
