The reporters immediately swarmed over Adam like sharks smelling blood, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation, and their recorders and cameras were ready to capture every moment that could make the headlines.

Mr. Adam, what do you think of Mr. Zhou Wenjun's proposal to resume the stock market? Will the British Hong Kong government adopt his suggestion? A senior financial reporter asked sharply, watching the change in Adam's expression.

Adam took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and forced a smile, "I can only say that the Hong Kong British government will make decisions based on the actual market situation and the interests of the majority of investors." He avoided giving a direct answer but could not hide the helplessness and frustration in his eyes.

Not to be outdone, another female reporter raised the microphone and asked, "There are rumors that you have your own selfish motives on the issue of closing the market. What's your response to this?" As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of shutter clicks around her was as dense as raindrops.

Adam's face became uglier and uglier, with beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead. "This is completely nonsense. As a member of the financial regulatory department, all my actions are to maintain the stability and fairness of the market."

However, the public's eyes are sharp, and Adam's explanation failed to calm everyone's doubts. Suddenly, more questions came like a tide, from the opening of the stock market to market rules, to his personal relationship with Mr. Lu, all of which were directly to the point.

"Mr. Adam, are you worried that you will lose control of the situation?" A young reporter suddenly asked a question that made Adam's face change suddenly. He widened his eyes and was speechless.

In the suffocating environment, Adam felt like he was thrown into the center of a whirlpool of public opinion. He tried to stay calm, but facing the reporters' barrage of questions and sharp looks, his heart began to waver. He clenched his fists, trying to stabilize his emotions that were about to get out of control.

Please give me some personal space. I will respond to all questions in due time. Adam forced a wry smile and tried to make his voice sound firm and powerful. However, this sentence did not stop the enthusiasm of the reporters, but instead triggered more speculation and discussion.

At this moment, an experienced financial reporter raised his hand to signal. After a brief silence, he asked in a gentle but to-the-point tone: "Mr. Adam, can you assure the public that the Hong Kong British government will uphold the principles of openness and transparency and conduct a fair review of the proposals put forward by Mr. Zhou Wenjun?"

Adam licked his cracked lips. He knew that any evasive answer at this moment might become a target of media attacks. He took a deep breath and responded seriously: "On behalf of the financial regulatory authorities, I promise that we will examine Mr. Lu's suggestions with the most rigorous attitude and make decisions by fully considering the market situation and the interests of investors."

Before he finished speaking, there was another commotion among the crowd, and more questions came like waves. Adam was exhausted from dealing with them, but he knew that retreating at this moment would only put him in a deeper passive position.

When Adam was about to collapse, his personal assistant broke through the circle of reporters in time, grabbed him and shouted: "Everyone, please give Mr. Adam some time to breathe. We will respond to all questions at the press conference!"

Adam seized this opportunity and struggled to break free from the microphone and recorder, his eyes flashing with determination. He turned to his assistant and whispered, "Arrange an emergency meeting. I need to communicate with the top leaders of the British Hong Kong government immediately."

"Yes, Mr. Adam." The assistant responded quickly and then directed the security personnel to clear a passage and escort Adam away from the scene.

The chaos in the conference room did not subside due to Adam's temporary exit, but instead triggered a greater whirlpool of public opinion. Reporters began to discuss in groups, speculating on Adam's true intentions and the possible undercurrents between Mr. Lu and the Hong Kong British government.

At the same time, in the office of a senior financial regulator, a tense closed-door meeting was going on. Adam sat at one end of a long table, facing a group of serious-looking colleagues, knowing that he was at the center of the storm.

We must face Zhou Wenjun's challenge head-on, Adam said in a deep voice, I suggest setting up a special group to review Zhou Wenjun's plan to resume the stock market, and to present our decision-making process to the public in an open and transparent manner.

A senior official with gray hair pushed up his glasses and questioned, "Adam, is this too hasty? We need to consider market stability and the chain reactions that may be triggered."

Adam stared at the old man and answered in a resounding voice: "Mr. Howard, I understand your concerns. But if we continue to delay or evade, it will only cause the market to lose confidence further, and may even be misunderstood by the outside world as us hiding something. At this critical moment, what we need to show is determination and fairness, not doubt and hesitation."

After a heated debate, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually calmed down, and everyone began to discuss in depth how to adopt and implement Mr. Lu's suggestions. They knew that this decision was not only related to their personal reputation, but also to the future direction of the entire Hong Kong Island financial market.

In the VIP ward of St. Mary's Hospital, Adam leaned weakly on the bed, feeling mixed emotions. He stared at the ceiling, and the sharp questions from reporters at the press conference and Ah Hua's powerful words echoed in his mind. He knew that he was pushed to the edge of the cliff this time, and any move could determine his position and reputation in the financial world.

Governor MacLean sat on the sofa beside the bed, his face solemn, his eyes revealing deep worry about the current situation. "Adam, you must recover as soon as possible." He said earnestly, "The current situation is not favorable to us, we need a clear decision-making plan."

Robert, manager of Standard Chartered Bank, also echoed: "We must respond positively and come up with a solution as soon as possible. Otherwise, not only will the financial market in Hong Kong Island suffer turmoil, I am afraid that the entire Commonwealth will be affected."

"I will ask the regulatory authorities to conduct an internal self-examination to eliminate all factors that may affect fairness and justice," Adam said through gritted teeth. "We want the public to see that the Hong Kong government is capable and determined to handle this crisis well."

When everyone heard this, their expressions varied, but they all nodded in agreement. They knew very well that what was needed at this moment was decisive action and a positive response, rather than shirking responsibility or evading responsibility.

In the silence of the ward, Sir George was the first to break it. He adjusted his glasses and spoke seriously, "Zhou Wenjun's proposal is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. On the one hand, resuming the stock market opening may indeed boost market confidence, but on the other hand, if not handled properly, it may also cause greater turmoil. We need to comprehensively assess the risks and be fully prepared."

Manager Robert followed suit and said, "I agree with George's point of view, but we cannot ignore the public sentiment and market expectations. The Hong Kong government should show sufficient determination and action, at least to let investors see that we are actively responding to this crisis."

Governor MacLean nodded slightly, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he said earnestly: "Adam, you must recover as soon as possible and personally participate in this decision-making process. Your experience and ability will play a key role in the situation. At the same time, we need to have a dialogue with Lu Wenjun to understand his specific plans and expected goals, so as to seek a solution acceptable to both parties."

Adam clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination. "I will, Governor MacLean. I understand that the stability of Hong Kong Island's financial market at this moment is related to the well-being of every Hong Kong citizen. I am willing to take on this responsibility and lead everyone to overcome the difficulties together."

After Governor MacLean's words, the tense atmosphere in the conference room eased a little, and everyone seemed to be relieved. Adam looked at the changing expressions of his colleagues around him, and he knew that they were all looking forward to a head-on confrontation with Zhou Wenjun to prove that the Hong Kong British government was not powerless.

..............

"I agree with the Governor." Adam sat up from the hospital bed. Although his body had not yet fully recovered, his eyes were burning with determination. "It is inevitable to open the market tomorrow. We need to show the public our ability and determination to respond. At the same time, I will personally contact Mr. Lu to discuss the specific implementation plan."

Sir George nodded in agreement: "Not only that, we should also prepare all possible emergency plans in advance, including liquidity support, market risk control and other measures to ensure that the stock market can operate smoothly after it opens."

Manager Robert also made a suggestion: "We should actively respond to Mr. Lu's request for open, fair and equitable information disclosure, and take this opportunity to improve our regulatory mechanism and enhance market transparency."

Governor MacLean nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Adam and said, "Adam, you will be discharged from the hospital tonight and return to the office to take charge of the overall situation. Remember, we must not only win this financial war, but also win the hearts of the people."

As night fell, the lights on Hong Kong Island were bright, as if tiny glimmers of hope illuminated this financial city. Adam stood in front of the window, gazing at the bustling night view of the city, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that tomorrow's battle would not only concern his personal honor, but also the future glory of Hong Kong Island's financial market.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, the stock market was crowded with people, and all the major media were on standby. Adam appeared in the stock exchange hall in a neat suit, and faced the reporters who swarmed over him with a smile and a firm look.

Today, we will resume the stock market as planned. At the same time, I will have in-depth discussions with Mr. Lu Wenjun on behalf of the Hong Kong government to jointly seek solutions that are most conducive to market stability and investor interests. Adam announced in a resounding voice.

At this moment, Zhou Wenjun was sitting in his office, looking out the French window at the busy trading square. The phone rang, and Adam's name appeared on the screen. He answered the phone, and a steady voice came into his ears: "Adam, it seems that we are finally going to show our cards."

"Mr. Zhou," Adam replied calmly and forcefully, "I think we all have a common goal - to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong's financial market. Let us work together to meet this challenge."

The people on both ends of the phone looked at each other. Although they were in different places, their eyes met, as if they had foreseen the fierce battle that was about to unfold. The result of this game would not only determine their fate, but also affect the pulse of the entire Hong Kong Island and even the global financial market.

"Well, Adam, let's wait and see." Zhou Wenjun hung up the phone with a meaningful smile on his face.

At the same time, the bell for the stock market opening rang, and a new day and a new battle officially began... 3.

【821】Is this the foolproof assurance you and I had?

In the study of the Governor's Residence, MacLean stared at the steaming coffee in his hand, feeling mixed emotions. Lennon stood by, and he understood the worries and pressures in MacLean's heart at the moment.

Lennon, do you think Adam can handle this crisis? MacLean looked up at him, his eyes full of trust and expectation for his subordinates.

Lennon thought for a moment and replied calmly: "Governor, Mr. Adam is experienced and decisive. I believe he can lead us through the difficulties. And, as you said, we must believe in and support his decision."

MacLean nodded slightly, knowing that Lennon's words were not groundless. He picked up the coffee cup and blew away the steam. "I hope so. This financial war is not only about personal honor, but also about the economic lifeline of the entire Hong Kong Island. What we need is not only strategy, but also the determination to unite as one."

Lennon took a step closer and said firmly, "I have arranged for all departments to work together to ensure that information flows smoothly, and have activated the emergency plan. If there are any abnormal fluctuations in the market, we will take immediate action."

MacLean nodded approvingly, knowing that Lennon was his reliable right-hand man. "Very good, Lennon, go inform all departments that we should be in the best condition to welcome the opening of the stock market tomorrow. At the same time, pay close attention to Lu Wenjun's movements, and report any disturbances to me immediately."

"Understood, Governor." Lennon saluted and turned to leave the study.

As the door closed, MacLean remained alone in his study, lost in thought. He knew that the key to this battle was not only in tactics, but also in the will of the people. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what difficulties he faced, he would stick to his post and protect the interests of Britain.

The next day, MacLean sat at his desk with a serious look on his face. Lennon stood beside him, holding a newly compiled stock market dynamics report in his hand, his expression equally serious.

Lennon, the Hang Seng Index fell below 700 points, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Does Adam have any countermeasures? MacLean looked at Lennon with a sharp eagle's eyes.

Lennon glanced down at the report in his hand, and said in a steady but firm voice: "Mr. Adam is in urgent consultation with major financial institutions. At the same time, he has also activated the secondary plan we set up earlier, including guiding market funds to stable sectors and conducting in-depth communication with international investors, striving to stabilize market confidence in the short term."

MacLean's frown did not relax. "We must stabilize the situation as soon as possible, otherwise not only will the economy suffer, but the people's hearts will also be shaken. I need you to notify 86零*73804$5Rhodium Adam and ask him to come up with a more detailed solution before tonight."

"Understood, Governor." Lennon responded and quickly left the office to carry out the order.

At the Governor's Residence, MacLean stared at the latest stock market dynamics sent by Lennon with a grim face. Although Adam had quickly activated the emergency plan, the sharp fluctuations of the Hang Seng Index still made him feel uneasy. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said to Lennon: "Notify Adam that we need more powerful measures and cannot sit idly by and watch the market continue to be turbulent."

Lennon nodded and left quickly. At the same time, Zhou Wenjun received a mysterious call, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He told Ah Hua: "It seems that the foreigners have already started using their reserve funds to rescue the market. They are more impatient than we expected."

That afternoon, after the stock market opened, a strong financial force began to intervene, and the Hang Seng Index rebounded strongly as expected. The major securities firms were bustling with people, and investors were nervous and excited, as if they saw an invisible financial war unfolding.

"Mr. Lu, the banker's spending power is too great. The financial strength behind this is probably extraordinary." Ah Hua couldn't help but exclaimed as he watched the numbers on the screen continue to rise.

Zhou Wenjun smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "This is the first step. We need to let the foreigners know that every move they make is within our expectations. Next, we need to make them run for their lives."

As the Hang Seng Index soared and broke through the 1000-point mark, market confidence seemed to be instantly ignited, and more retail and institutional investors joined the frenzy of buying. However, behind the prosperous scene, MacLean became increasingly anxious.

He urgently summoned Adam, and the two sat face to face in the study, the atmosphere was depressing and tense. "Adam, this rebound is too fierce, I am worried that someone is manipulating the market. We must find out this force and fight back." MacLean's eyes were firm and sharp.

Adam pondered for a moment. He understood that the situation was at a critical juncture and any decision would affect the direction of the entire war. "Governor, I suggest that we use financial means to counterattack on the one hand, and seek support from international partners on the other hand to jointly fight against this behind-the-scenes force."

MacLean nodded heavily. He knew it was a tough battle, but he also knew that as the Governor of Hong Kong, it was his mission to protect the financial stability of Hong Kong. "Very good, Adam, go for it. Remember, no matter what challenges we face, we must stick to it."

As night fell, the stock market finally calmed down after a busy day, but the turbulent financial market did not stop. Both MacLean and Zhou Wenjun knew that the real battle had just begun.

Adam, you must work overtime tonight. I want to see a detailed counter-plan! MacLean said firmly, not hiding the determination in his eyes.

Don't worry, Governor, I understand the importance of this battle, and I will come up with a plan as soon as possible. Adam responded seriously, turned and walked out of the study, and threw himself into a new battle.

At this time, Zhou Wenjun and Ah Hua were plotting the next move, their eyes also burning with burning fighting spirit. That night, the two forces quietly laid out their plans in their respective camps, waiting for the arrival of dawn, which would be a more intense and cruel showdown.

In major securities firms on Hong Kong Island, the bustling scene was like a festival. Many stockholders looked at the soaring Hang Seng Index on the screen with expressions of shock and hesitation.

"Hey, Lao Chen, do you think the stock market is controlled by gods? It's diving one moment and rocketing the next!" A middle-aged man grabbed his hair and said to his friends beside him with an anxious look on his face.

Old Chen frowned and smiled bitterly, "Who knows? We small retail investors are destined to follow suit. When they fight, we mortals suffer. But then again, the banker really has a lot of money this time. He managed to push the index to 2400 points. It's really eye-opening."

At this time, in a secret private club, Zhou Wenjun and Ah Hua were analyzing the situation while drinking tea. "The foreigners have begun to fight back with all their strength, but it seems that they underestimated our determination and strength." Zhou Wenjun raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Ah Hua nodded and agreed, "Yes, although Adam's actions are fierce, their trump card has been gradually exposed. As long as we continue to increase our firepower and throw out bait at the right time, we will definitely be able to contain them."

Zhou Wenjun smiled slightly and put down the teacup in his hand. "Okay, go and make arrangements. Let a part of the funds temporarily withdraw tonight to create an illusion and lure them to further invest more reserve funds to rescue the market. Remember, the key to this battle lies in patience and wisdom."

At the same time, in the brightly lit study of the Governor's residence, MacLean and Adam were nervously discussing the next strategy.

"Adam, we must find the source of this manipulating force behind the scenes, otherwise we will always be passive." Mai Liren stared at the stock market dynamic chart on Yue Feiyan and 59302@1]9{0.9 the table with a frown.

Adam nodded seriously. "I understand, Governor. I have begun investigating the flow of funds in major financial institutions and have contacted international financial intelligence agencies. I believe we will soon gain something. At the same time, I also suggest that we release some of our reserves appropriately. This will not only stabilize the market, but also confuse our opponents and make them misjudge our bottom line."

MacLean thought for a moment and agreed with Adam's suggestion. "Very good, go for it. Remember, we are racing against time and must turn the tide as soon as possible."

As night fell and the stock market closed, the financial battlefield became more intense. Both MacLean and Zhou Wenjun knew that every decision they made would determine the final outcome of this financial war.

The next morning, the sun shines across Hong Kong Island, and citizens on the streets are talking about the stock market opening. But behind the dealers, the Governor's residence and the mysterious forces, a more thrilling showdown is about to begin.

Adam, you must give me a clear action plan this morning. We must take the initiative and not let the other side lead us by the nose. "McLee's words were firm and full of firm determination.

Adam's eyes were bright, he stood up straight, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Don't worry, Governor, I have prepared a detailed battle plan, and it is only waiting for your approval."

At the same time, Zhou Wenjun also received the latest intelligence from Ah Hua. He smiled confidently and made a secret call: "Let's start the action and see how the ghosts respond to this wave of attacks."

The bell for the stock market opening is about to ring, and the financial market of Hong Kong Island is surging, with various forces surging under the surface. In this invisible war, who will have the last laugh is still unknown. The dialogue ends, and a new game begins, which makes people full of expectations...

The next morning, the sun shone through the mist onto Victoria Harbor, and Adam held a press conference at the Governor's Residence. Facing the spotlights and cameras of many media, he remained calm, with determination and confidence in his eyes.

Ladies and gentlemen, although the financial market in Hong Kong Island has fluctuated recently, I want to tell you that the Hong Kong government has absolute confidence in maintaining the stability of the stock market. "Adam's words were sharp, and he did not hide his contempt for the challenger. "We have enough strategies and strength to deal with any attempt to manipulate the market. Some people think they can manipulate the market at will. I can only say that they are too naive."

As soon as this statement was made, public opinion was in an uproar, and major media rushed to report it with an eye-catching headline: "Hong Kong Governor's Office strongly responded to suspicions of stock market manipulation and vowed to maintain financial order."

At this moment, Zhou Wenjun was in a low-key and luxurious office, overlooking the bustling city through the French windows. He took the newspaper handed to him by Ah Hua, on which was printed his news release - "The End of the Ghost".

Zhou Wenjun raised a meaningful smile, put down the newspaper gently, and said to Ah Hua: "The fun has just begun. Let Mai Liren see the strength of our counterattack."

That afternoon, at the last moment before the stock market opened, a huge wave of selling swept in like a frenzy, and the Hang Seng Index was instantly under pressure. Investors' panic spread rapidly. In major securities companies, stockholders' faces changed rapidly and they talked about it.

MacLean received an urgent report in his study and his face suddenly changed. "Adam, what's going on? The other party suddenly increased their selling force. We must take action immediately!"

Adam stared at the data changes on the screen, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, but his tone remained calm: "Governor, I have activated the emergency plan and am guiding funds to enter the market to stabilize the index. At the same time, I also suggest that we publicly condemn this malicious market manipulation to boost market confidence."

MacLean clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Very good, Adam, just go for it. Remember, no matter how the opponent provokes us, we must not lose our composure."

At the same time, Zhou Wenjun sat in his luxurious office, admiring the roller coaster-like trend of the Hang Seng Index on the screen, feeling secretly happy. He picked up the phone and whispered to the person on the other end: "Keep increasing the stakes. We want to show the foreigners that their defenses are not impenetrable."

As night falls, the smoke of war has not yet dissipated in the financial market, and the competition between the two sides becomes more intense. The lights in the Governor's Mansion are brightly lit, and MacLean and Adam are nervously discussing countermeasures; while under the command of Zhou Wenjun, the mysterious force is pressing forward step by step, with a fierce offensive.

"Adam, you must come up with a plan tonight that is enough to shock our opponents!" MacLean's words were full of determination.

Adam's eyes sparkled and he answered confidently, "Governor, I have a preliminary idea. We can work with international partners to launch a series of rescue measures, and investigate and track those abnormal transactions to reveal the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes."

On the other side, Zhou Wenjun gave instructions to the other end of the phone: "Now is not the moment of decisive battle, keep on exerting pressure, I want to let the foreigners know that the rules of this game are controlled by us!

【822】Guess who will win in the end, the Chinese or the foreigners?

Under the night sky, the lights of Hong Kong Island were like stars, shining on the calm surface of Victoria Harbour. MacLean stared at the computer screen with a serious look on his face, while Adam was busy typing on the keyboard, analyzing the data.

"Adam, we can't just sit there and watch the Hang Seng Index fluctuate like this. We must find the source of the other party's selling." There was a hint of anxiety in MacLean's tone.

"I have tracked down some abnormal trading accounts, but the mastermind behind them is still hidden in the fog." Adam's fingers slid the mouse quickly, and the data flow displayed on the screen was like a silent battle.

At the same time, in Zhou Wenjun's secret base, he and Ah Hua were monitoring the stock market dynamics. "It seems that Mai Liren and his men have begun to fight back, but it's not fierce enough." Zhou Wenjun raised his lips, his eyes flashing with cunning light.

Ah Hua nodded: "Yes, their rescue measures have temporarily stabilized the index, but as long as we continue to increase the selling pressure, we can force them to reveal more cards."

The next day, before the stock market opened, Adam urgently contacted major financial institutions to discuss response strategies. At the press conference, he once again spoke out strongly: "We will severely punish any malicious market manipulation and take all necessary measures to stabilize the market."

However, soon after the press conference, a more violent selling came like a flood, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted instantly. Upon hearing the news, MacLean immediately called an emergency meeting and said to Adam with a grim face: "We must act immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Adam took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice: "Governor, I suggest activating the financial protection mechanism and contacting the international financial market forces to form a joint defense posture. In addition, I have prepared an investigation report on abnormal transactions, and I believe that the problem will be found soon."

On the other side, Zhou Wenjun sat in his office, watching with satisfaction that the 13 storm he had carefully planned gradually swept the entire stock market. He picked up the phone and whispered, "Very good, keep up the pressure, I want to let MacLean know that his defense is not as strong as he imagined."

In the afternoon, as the stock market was about to close, the situation became increasingly tense. Stockholders flocked to the securities firms, and anxiety permeated the entire financial market. MacLean and Adam worked together, determined to turn the tide with thunderous means; while Zhou Wenjun was strategizing and determined to win.

"Adam, now is the moment of decisive battle!" There was a fire of determination burning in MacLean's eyes.

Adam straightened his back with a determined look in his eyes. "Don't worry, Governor, I have arranged for funds to enter the market to protect the market, and have locked up some suspicious accounts. As long as we can reveal the true identities of these behind-the-scenes culprits, we will have a chance to break the deadlock."

Zhou Wenjun looked at the rapidly jumping numbers on the screen and smiled coldly: "The game has just begun, Mai Liren, don't think you can win for sure."

As the stock market closed, a day of fierce fighting came to an end, but the smoke of the financial battlefield had not yet dissipated. In the night of this bustling city, the two camps were still secretly competing, waiting for the arrival of dawn and welcoming the upcoming more thrilling showdown.

"McLean, no matter how turbulent the stock market is tomorrow, we must remain calm, because the real battle has just begun." Adam looked through the window at the bright starry sky.

MacLean patted Adam on the shoulder and said seriously but confidently, "Yes, Adam, our opponents may be strong, but we have determination, wisdom, and the belief in maintaining financial order. Tonight, let us make final preparations for tomorrow's decisive battle."

The conversation echoed in the study late at night, foreshadowing the coming of a new battle. In this war without the smoke of gunpowder, who will stand out? Only time will reveal the answer.
