"Yes, Director Li! I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow morning!"

Secretary Wang immediately straightened his back and replied, a hint of ruthlessness and pleasure flashing in his eyes.

Wei Tiancheng and his son Wei Junwu exchanged a glance, secretly delighted.

Director Li is truly enraged and is determined to strike at the heart of the matter by directly confronting the real boss behind Douyin! If the Douyin boss succumbs to pressure and backs down, Qin Luo and Xia Minmin will be nothing more than fish on a chopping board!
"Director Li, please calm down. It's not worth getting sick over something as reckless as this."

Wei Tiancheng quickly picked up his wine glass.

"Come, let us toast you to calm you down. With you stepping in, Qin Luo won't be able to cause trouble for long!"

Wei Junwu quickly raised his glass in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Director Li, don't worry. As soon as Douyin gives in, Tiancheng will make Qin Luo kneel down and beg for mercy immediately!"

Director Li snorted coldly, his expression softening slightly, and picked up his wine glass, about to drink.

suddenly!

boom! boom! boom!
The doors to the private rooms were suddenly and violently pushed open from the outside! Not just one, but several doors leading to the corridor were slammed open at the same time!

A large group of people, armed with various models of mobile phones, small portable video cameras, and even professional SLR cameras, surged in like a tidal wave! The blinding flashes of light instantly became a continuous barrage, as bright as day, flashing wildly, illuminating the luxurious furnishings in the private room, the expensive dishes on the table, and Director Li's astonished, oily, and angry face in every detail!
"Director Li! May I ask if this is a private banquet or an official reception?"

"Director Li! This meal is quite expensive. Is it for your personal consumption or will Tiancheng Entertainment Company pay for it?"

"Director Li! As the leader in charge of the cultural and entertainment industry, is it appropriate for you to accept such a high-level banquet from Tiancheng Entertainment?"

"Chairman Wei! May I ask what your company's purpose was in hosting Director Li's banquet? Was it related to any transfer of benefits?"

"Director Li! Please give us a response!..."

A barrage of sharp, urgent, and pointed questions rained down on him like a machine gun! Ignoring security guards' attempts to stop them, reporters with microphones pushed their way forward, their microphones almost touching Director Li's face! The scene instantly descended into chaos!

Director Li was completely stunned!
He stood frozen in place, holding his wine glass. The barely suppressed anger on his face was instantly replaced by immense shock and panic, making him look incredibly comical and pathetic under the barrage of flashing lights.

His mind went blank; he had no idea what was happening.

"What are you doing?! Who let you in?! Security! Security!"

Wei Tiancheng was the first to react, his face changed drastically, and he screamed in shock.

"Stop them! Confiscate all their equipment!"

Wei Junwu panicked and jumped up to grab the nearest camera.

"Protect Director Li!"

Secretary Wang was also terrified and instinctively tried to block the camera with her body.

However, this group of "reporters" who suddenly barged in were clearly premeditated, and their actions were extremely swift and well-trained.

They quickly changed angles to take pictures, especially focusing on close-ups of the exorbitantly priced dishes and Director Li's panicked face, while simultaneously covering each other as they retreated.

When the Wei family's bodyguards and hotel security finally rushed over to seize the equipment, these people were already as slippery as eels, covering each other in the chaos, quickly rushing out of the private room and disappearing at the end of the corridor.

The whole process was lightning fast, taking only a few dozen seconds.

The luxurious "Tingtao Pavilion" private room was in a mess.

Expensive dishes were overturned on the ground, with soup splashing everywhere.

The wine glass in Li Chu's hand had already fallen to the ground and shattered. His face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling uncontrollably. He pointed towards the door, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word. All he could do was breathe heavily and look utterly terrified.

Wei Tiancheng, Wei Junwu, Secretary Wang, and the others were also pale-faced, staring blankly at the door, as if all their strength had been drained away.

A meticulously planned trap, a show of power intended to control the opponent, instantly turned into a massive scandal that could drag them all into the abyss!
On the dark side of the road opposite the Mindu Hotel, a black Range Rover was parked quietly.

The car window rolled down a crack, and Zhao Dayong, a cigarette dangling from his lips, the crimson tip glowing in the night.

His sharp eyes were fixed on the direction of the restaurant entrance.

When he saw the group of "reporters" swiftly and unharmed rush out of the restaurant and quickly disperse and disappear in different directions on the street, Zhao Dayong's lips curled into a cold, hard smile.

He raised his hand and flicked the half-smoked cigarette out the window. The cigarette butt traced a dark red arc before landing on the cold ground.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and after the call was connected, he said only five words in a calm and resolute tone.

"Master Luo, it's all done."

Three hours after the flash of the camera, Director Li grabbed Secretary Wang, trembling.

"Quickly...quickly take me to kneel down and beg Qin Luo to delete the video!"

Inside the US stock trading room, Natalie's embrace plunged Qin Luo into a "flexibility crisis."

"Boss, twelve stocks yielded a 3% gain in three days!"

At the entrance of the residential compound, Wei Junshu held up the termination contract and smiled obsequiously.

"Miss Xiao, please sign this... This one million is for tea money!"

"It's over...it's all over..."

Inside the "Tingtao Pavilion" private room, now a mess after the extravagance had dissipated, Director Li Fushun slumped in a large leather chair, his face ashen, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.

The expensive bird's nest soup was spilled and stuck stickily to his pricey suit trousers, but he was completely unaware.

The air was still filled with the aroma of delicacies, but at that moment it only made his stomach churn and he felt like vomiting.

Those blinding flashes of light, like red-hot irons, burned fiercely onto his retina, and even more so, burned into his heart.

The reporters' sharp, pointed, and incisive questions swirled wildly in his mind like a demonic whisper.

"Private banquet or official reception?"

Who will pay for the expensive food and drinks?

"Does the acceptance of an exorbitant banquet by a company by its supervisor constitute a transfer of benefits?"

Every question was like a poisoned dagger, aimed precisely at his vitals!
He knew all too well the terrifying uproar these photos and videos would unleash once they were leaked, especially online! What plunged him into despair was the prospect of attracting the attention of the relevant authorities and launching an investigation… all the benefits he had amassed over the years through abusing his power, the houses hidden in his wife and children's names, the gold in the safes, the bundles of cash in some secret villa… none of them could withstand scrutiny!

A chill ran from his tailbone straight to the top of his head, and Director Li shuddered violently, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Fear, like a cold hand, gripped his heart tightly.

"It was him! It must have been Qin Luo!"

Director Li suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with fear and resentment, and roared hoarsely at Secretary Wang, who was also pale as a ghost.

"Only he could pull off something like this! Only he could stop these photos and videos from being released!" What a load of rubbish about being a department head! What a load of rubbish about being high and mighty! In the face of impending doom, it's all worthless!
He only had one thought in his mind right now.

Find Qin Luo! Immediately! Right now! Even if you have to kneel on the ground and beg him, make him delete those damn things!
"Quick! Xiao Wang! Quick! Take me to Yi Pin Xuan! Right now!"

Director Li struggled to stand up, but his legs were as weak as noodles, and he almost collapsed. Secretary Wang and Wei Tiancheng and his son hurriedly helped him up.

"Director Li! Calm down! What about Qin Luo..." Wei Tiancheng wanted to say something more.

"Shut up!"

Director Li rudely interrupted him, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Secretary Wang.

"What are you all standing there for?! Drive! To Yipinxuan! Hurry up!"

The black official car sped through the night, its tires screeching as they rubbed against the pavement, mirroring the near-collapse of Director Li's nerves.

The car came to a sudden stop in front of the grand entrance of Yipinxuan.

Director Li practically tumbled and crawled out of the car, with Secretary Wang following closely behind.

However, Yi Pin Xuan had already closed, its doors tightly shut, with only the cold light from the porch illuminating the deserted street.

No matter how much they pounded and shouted, there was no response from inside.

"Where is he?! Where is Qin Luo?!"

Director Li grabbed the collar of the night security guard at the entrance and roared like a madman.

"Where is he?! Tell him to come out and see me!"

The security guard was terrified by his ferocious appearance and stammered.

"Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin? He... he left more than an hour ago... Where did he go... we don't know where he went..."

"gone?!"

Li Chu was struck dumb, his body swayed, his vision went black, and a chilling despair instantly engulfed him.

Qin Luo is gone!
His only lifeline has snapped! The sky is truly falling!
He released the security guard in a daze, staggered back a few steps, and slumped onto the cold ground, staring blankly at the dark night sky, muttering unconsciously.

"It's over...it's all over..."

At this moment, Qin Luo had already left this place of trouble.

He first safely escorted the contented and slightly tipsy Mr. Ni and the grateful Ni Ruolan back to the hospital's special care ward, and then had the driver take them to the Min Tai Building, located in the heart of the city's CBD.

The Hualong Capital headquarters on the top floor was brightly lit at this moment, forming a stark contrast with the silence of the city below.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights of Fuzhou shone brightly. Inside, the air was filled with the faint aroma of coffee and a silent, intense sense of tension.

On several huge screens, real-time data streams from major global financial markets are displayed, and the red and green candlestick charts resemble a silent battlefield.

Qin Luo, carrying a paper bag full of steaming hot late-night snacks, pushed open the heavy glass door.

As soon as he appeared, a tall and beautiful figure swept over like a gust of wind.

"BOSS!"

A surprised call rang out with an exotic accent, and then Qin Luo was tightly embraced by a vibrant body that smelled faintly of perfume.

An amazing elasticity accompanied by a warm and soft touch instantly struck, even Qin Luo was slightly swayed by this enthusiastic "attack".

The person who arrived was none other than Natalie, the top trader at Hualong Capital, a blonde bombshell with an angelic face and a devilish figure.

She released Qin Luo, her azure eyes sparkling with excitement, and quickly reported in fluent but accented Chinese.

"Boss! The twelve US stock codes you provided the night before last are going very smoothly! The overall unrealized profit has already reached three percent! My God, this is simply a miracle!"

Three points! That doesn't sound high.

However, it should be noted that Qin Luo only provided the list of these twelve stocks the night before last.

Large-scale investment cannot be completed by retail investors with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Billions of dollars are like a giant whale entering the sea. If you are not careful, the splashes you make will be noticed by the astute market makers, and then you will be met with fierce shakeouts and attacks.

The art of quietly and effectively distributing massive amounts of capital to a target without the market noticing is extremely sophisticated and requires a top-notch team and exquisite trading skills.

Qin Luo possesses the extraordinary ability to "see" the stock price fluctuations over the next few days, but he himself is not a professional trader.

Therefore, the four billion dollars he invested in the stock market was handled by a professional team led by Natalie.

The team consists of six top traders, including Natalie, each managing 500 million in funds, while Natalie herself is responsible for the core allocation of 1.5 billion.

"Well done, Natalie."

Qin Luo smiled and handed her the late-night snack.

"Let everyone eat something first to replenish their energy."

"Thank you, Boss! You're an angel!"

Natalie happily took the bags and distributed them to the other traders who were also highly focused and had their eyes glued to the screens.

They ate quickly and quietly, their eyes never leaving the fluctuating numbers and curves.

Qin Luo did not disturb them.

He sat quietly on the sofa in the rest area, watching this group of elites battling the global financial markets in the dead of night.

Around 1 a.m., seeing that the stock purchase was basically completed and all that was left was to execute the plan, he quietly got up and left, returning to his luxurious penthouse in Yipin International.

The storm arrived as expected over the next two days.

The next morning, just as Qin Luo finished washing up, Xia Minmin called, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"President Qin! It's breaking news! Videos and photos of Li Fushun accepting an exorbitant banquet at the Mindu Grand Hotel went viral on our Douyin platform last night! Several top news accounts posted them simultaneously, and the topic immediately soared to the top of the trending list! Now the entire internet is discussing it!"

Qin Luo simply gave a faint "hmm," as if everything was under control.

Xia Minmin's voice became even more excited.

"Moreover, things have escalated too quickly! This morning, news broke that relevant departments have established a special task force and officially launched an investigation into Li Fushun!"

Another day passed, and the preliminary results of the investigation were like a bombshell, shaking the entire city of Min and even higher levels! The task force found an astonishing amount of wealth in various properties under the names of Li Fushun and his relatives.

The gold bars alone weighed twelve kilograms! There were as many as seventeen properties purchased in the names of his wife, children, and even distant relatives! Furthermore, in the basement of an inconspicuous villa in the suburbs, they found neatly stacked cash, reeking of ink, exceeding thirty million yuan! There were also mountains of various brand-name luxury goods, gold and silver jewelry… (End of Chapter)
