France, Libération.

As a media outlet that keeps pace with the times, they began developing their internet presence early on, and their follower count across various social media platforms has already surpassed twenty million.

Today, they suddenly published a news report that garnered millions of clicks in just one hour.

The content of the news was a public denunciation of Fals for tax evasion.

In the report, the financial situation of Fals over the past seven years was detailed in full.

Upon learning of the actions taken by Fals, French netizens were absolutely furious.

"Is the French government eating shit? How could they not discover something like this?"

"They're too busy splitting the loot, those bastards."

"Fine them, they must be fined until they're dead!"

Upon receiving the news, the relevant departments immediately dispatched personnel to Fals.

They took the executives into custody to begin an investigation and froze all the funds in their accounts!

The next day, the investigation results were released.

Fals was found to have engaged in egregious tax evasion and would be facing a sky-high fine!

The thirty billion that Huajin Investment Company had just transferred over wasn't even enough to fill this hole!

After the Fals scandal broke, Huajin Investment Company, as the largest shareholder, also suffered a devastating blow.

They were exposed for the illegal misappropriation of funds, and the relevant authorities had already intervened to investigate.

Once this news broke, the stock price of Huajin Investment Company plummeted instantly.

When Ye Chen received this news, he was squatting in the restroom.

Taking a paid dump, he had to run over here for at least two or three hours every day.

"Why was it discovered? Who exactly provided the information?"

He roared in a rage while holding his phone in the restroom.

With the Fals scandal breaking, his plan to conquer Wang Yixue was directly shattered.

The thirty billion in funds hadn't even had time to be invested into the project before they went straight into the pockets of the French government.

Thirty billion!!

To him, not picking up money when walking out the door was a loss; he would even taste the saltiness of a manure truck passing by his door. If he didn't take advantage of something, he couldn't sleep.

Losing this much at once, his heart was practically bleeding.

What he found even more unacceptable was the heavy losses at Huajin Investment.

The stock price was in a freefall, and the company was currently throwing money desperately to save the market.

Huajin Investment was one of the major companies under the Dragon Soul Organization, with total assets of around five hundred billion.

With this current stock market nosedive, their losses were at least nearly one hundred billion!

"Dragon King, there is one more situation I need to report to you. The main reason for this wave of losses is that someone took the opportunity to short us."

"The other party invested a total of eighty billion in Huaxia currency. The organization has already investigated clearly; this money was invested by Tengwang Group and Tang Group..."

The person on the other end of the phone continued to report.

Upon hearing Tengwang Group and Tang Group, Ye Chen's face turned green.

How could those two companies do such a thing?

Where exactly did the problem arise? His plan should have been flawless.

Wang Rulong would definitely not dare to betray him.

Wang Yixue should also be kept in the dark!

Could it be that that piece of trash Tang Yu discovered something?

Him?

"My identity hasn't been discovered, has it?"

Ye Chen asked in a cold voice.

"No, the Dragon King's identity is absolutely confidential!"

"That's good. Isn't it just a loss of one hundred billion? Once I take down the Four Great Families, this money will come back tenfold or hundredfold!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone after saying this.

As long as his identity remained hidden and unexposed! He would just find another way to take down Wang Yixue!

To conquer a woman, he had ten thousand methods!

As for Tang Yu!

The money he made today, he would pay back with his life in the future!

Then, he took out his phone and sent a text message to his subordinate, Chi Yin.

"Investigate the dirt on the Tang Group within half a month. I want the Tang Family to die a miserable death!"

After sending the text, he left the restroom.

Walking to the lawn downstairs, he scanned the area and quickly caught a half-meter-long snake.

After catching the snake, he easily pulled out its fangs.

With that, the snake lost its aggression.

He sneered and walked toward Villa No. 8, where the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Qin Kexin, lived.

He hadn't been able to find an opportunity to get close to Qin Kexin over the past two days.

Since that was the case, he would just create an opportunity himself!

Seeing that no one was around, he easily tossed the snake through the second-floor window of the villa, then stood downstairs, silently waiting for the chance to play the hero saving the beauty!

Manufacturing an accident to build rapport and making the other party fall in love with him step by step—this was his specialty.

"Ding, the host has successfully survived the plot. Reward: one Mingyue Hotel, already transferred to the host's name."

Tang Yu, who was lying at home acting like a couch potato, suddenly heard a system notification in his ear.

He sat up from the bed instantly.

"What the hell? How did I survive the plot?"

He was completely bewildered; he hadn't done anything at home.

"System, what did I do?"

He asked silently in his heart.

"Successfully survived the plot of Chapter 88."

The system's voice rang out.

Tang Yu thought for a moment before he remembered the plot of Chapter 88.

In this chapter, the Dragon King Ye Chen's scheme succeeded, Wang Yixue fell right into his trap, and fifty billion in funds from the Tengwang Group were frozen.

What followed next was the plot where Wang Rulong began to seize power, and then he went out to pick up girls.

"Got it."

Tang Yu smiled with satisfaction.

After working so hard to act and keep a low profile for so long, he finally received the reward he deserved.

In a very good mood, he stood up, tidied himself up, and prepared to go see his new reward.

The Mingyue Hotel sounded like a very ordinary name.

But it was extremely famous in Suhang.

It was the only seven-star hotel in Suhang!

In all of Huaxia, it was considered a top-tier, high-class hotel!

Its value was roughly twenty billion; Tang Yu hadn't expected the damn system to be so generous this time.

Although the Tang Family was already very wealthy.

But who the hell would complain about having too much money?

Of course, it would have been even better if the system had replaced this reward with some ancient martial arts technique or other life-saving reward.

Walking into the garage, Tang Yu was just about to pick a sports car to head out when his phone rang.

He glanced at the phone and saw it was a call from the company.

"What is it?"

"Young Master Tang, the thirty billion investment transferred to the Tengwang Group a few days ago has been returned, and in addition, there is a profit of fifteen billion."

"What?"

Tang Yu started to feel that something was wrong.

Shouldn't this money have been invested by Wang Yixue into the new energy project and then frozen?

How could there be a profit of fifteen billion after it was returned?

Making money was a happy thing.

But this was damn well not right!

"Could it be that the plot has collapsed again?"

Tang Yu quickly hung up the phone and dialed Wang Yixue's number.

"What's wrong, darling? Did you miss me?"

Wang Yixue's sweet, coquettish voice came from the other end of the line.

Tang Yu instantly remembered the photo of her wearing a bunny girl outfit.

He gave two dry coughs and said, "What's the situation with the investment project we collaborated on last time?"

"Oh, I suddenly discovered that the partner company had some issues, and after investigating, I found out someone was trying to scam our Wang Family."

"So, I took the money meant for the investment and used it to short them. I made a small profit. If there are any more money-making opportunities next time, I'll call you. Mua~"

Wang Yixue blew a kiss to Tang Yu over the phone.
