"Hahaha, saying it like that makes us sound close."
"Hmph, I'm telling you, I've handed over my entire fortune to you. Don't betray my trust!"
"Mm-hmm. If we lose it all, I'll take responsibility for you!"
"Pfft, who wants you to take responsibility? So gross~"
"All right, then let me put it another way. From now on, I'm yours!"
Gu Lianyin: "Shameless~"
She lay on her bed, smiling like a flower, too amused to laugh out loud.
That night, Tianhua Biotech Group released an announcement.
It claimed that it had developed an effective anti-cancer drug and was preparing for mass production.
It instantly shot to the top of the trending searches.
The next day, Tianhua Biotech Group's stock soared.
By the afternoon close, it had risen a full ten percent!
In other words, in a single day, Lin Yuan had turned one million into a profit of one hundred thousand!
When Lin Yuan told Gu Lianyin about it, she was completely stunned.
"Oh my god! That's so much!"
"Hahaha, just wait to collect the money. It can keep rising for many more days."
Lin Yuan said with a smile.
After class, Gu Lianyin went back and shared the good news with her best friend, Ling Wanqing.
Ling Wanqing was equally surprised when she heard it.
"That's so much money. Sell it quickly. One hundred thousand is more than enough. You can't be too greedy!"
Ling Wanqing reminded her.
"But Lin Yuan said it can still go up, so there's no rush to sell. I believe him!"
"Sell or don't sell, it's not my money anyway."
The third day.
"Tianhua Biotech went up another eleven percent today. I made over one hundred and ten thousand!"
"Sell it. It's gone up so much that it'll probably fall tomorrow."
"No, Lin Yuan said I absolutely can't sell!"
The fourth day.
"Wanqing, Wanqing, guess how much I made today?"
"How much?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"???!!!"
The fifth day.
"Wanqing, Wanqing, I'm treating you to a big meal today!"
"What, did you make money again today?"
"Not that much. Only eighty thousand."
The sixth day.
"Wanqing, Wanqing, let's go have a big meal!"
"Lianyin, I suddenly kind of want to buy stocks too..."
Ling Wanqing had been insanely jealous these past few days. Watching Lianyin make so much money, she wanted to buy in too.
"Didn't you say it was dangerous after rising so much and tell me to sell? Why do you want to buy now?"
Gu Lianyin smiled knowingly, as excited as an underage child.
"My dear Lianyin~"
Ling Wanqing hugged Gu Lianyin's arm and shook it hard, pleading coquettishly, "Please be nice and ask your boyfriend Lin Yuan whether it's still too late to buy in~"
"Y-you, what nonsense are you saying? He's not my boyfriend!"
Gu Lianyin said angrily.
"Isn't he? Come on, just help me ask, okay? Or give me his contact information, and I can ask him myself."
"No!"
"Why not? You still won't admit he's your boyfriend. You're saying one thing and meaning another!"
In the end, Gu Lianyin could not win against Ling Wanqing. She took out her phone and asked Lin Yuan about it.
Lin Yuan replied very quickly.
"You can still buy, but the gains won't be as large as they were these past few days. Still, you can make a small profit."
"But I have one condition. When I sell, your best friend has to sell too. If she loses money otherwise, that's none of my business!"
Having gotten the answer she wanted, Ling Wanqing immediately used all her allowance to buy Tianhua Biotech Group stock.
It totaled more than three hundred thousand!
Meanwhile, Lin Yuan took a taxi to an urban district more than ten kilometers away.
Tonight, the famous actress Lin Qingyue would be stalked and kidnapped by an obsessive fan while she was out alone. Her body would later be found in an abandoned factory nearby.
He was going to stop this from happening.
As for why he was doing this?
Since he knew a tragedy was about to happen, Lin Yuan could not simply stand by and ignore it.
Besides, both he and his mother were fans of Lin Qingyue, making it even more necessary for him to save her.
Lin Yuan quickly found the abandoned factory where the tragedy would occur.
First, he observed the building's structure and terrain to make sure nothing could go wrong.
Then he took out the tools he had prepared.
Extra-strength pepper spray, a baton, and so on.
All that remained was the long wait.
He did not know where Lin Qingyue lived nearby, nor did he know where she would be kidnapped.
He only knew that the culprit would bring her here tied up.
That would be when he made his move.
It was already eight in the evening. The sky was dotted with stars, and the sound of passing cars could be heard in the distance.
The abandoned factory was utterly silent, giving off an eerie feeling.
Lin Yuan sprayed himself with insect repellent and remained alert to every movement nearby.
When the time reached ten-thirty at night, a furtive figure appeared in his line of sight!
A tall, heavily built man walked into the abandoned factory with a woman slung over his shoulder!
