Zhou Ruiguo looked utterly hopeless.

In just a few days, he went from a powerful and successful P2P project manager in Jinning to a fugitive hated by everyone.

He was then pursued and killed by his superiors, and then captured by Cao Kun. These experiences over the past few days made him feel as if he had fallen from the clouds into the abyss.

Life's encounters can be so absurd.

Even so, he still harbored a sliver of hope.

As long as he still has the remaining ten million or so, he still has a chance to make a comeback.

That was his last trump card, and his only hope.

On the way back, he kept waiting for Cao Kun to speak and ask him, "Where's the money?"

But what they got in return was complete disregard.

Cao Kun didn't even bother to look at him.

That feeling was like having the last shred of dignity ripped from one's soul.

Until he was tied up and thrown at Cao Tianheng's feet like a dumpling.

When that familiar yet much older face came into view, Zhou Ruiguo's last bit of stubbornness finally collapsed completely.

He lowered his head with some difficulty.

Cao Tianheng remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, bent down, and reached out to untie the restraints on his body.

"Forget it, it's all in the past... As long as you return the money, let's wipe the slate clean."

Zhou Ruiguo slowly got up and was taken aback when he heard this.

He couldn't believe that he had swindled Cao Tianheng out of more than a million yuan, which was practically his retirement money.

In Zhou Ruiguo's mind, it wouldn't be too much for Cao Tianheng to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

This was Cao Tianheng's only wish!

But Cao Tianheng still chose to let him go.

He knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Brother Cao, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I was bewitched, I shouldn't have lied to you!"

Cao Tianheng looked at him silently, his eyes filled with both anger and pity.

After a long pause, he gave a self-deprecating laugh: "We're all old colleagues, let's just let this matter drop."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruiguo kowtowed and cried out, almost collapsing to the ground.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to everyone! You can hit me, you can yell at me, I accept it, I accept it all..."

Cao Tianheng shook his head, ultimately ignoring him and turning to leave.

Everyone turned to look at Cao Kun, who shrugged and said, "Do as my dad says."

The original purpose of bringing Zhou Ruiguo here was to let the old man vent his anger.

Although the Cao family had become wealthy, Cao Tianheng still felt somewhat guilty towards Cao Kun for being swindled out of more than a million yuan.

Now that the old man's inner conflict has been resolved, Zhou Ruiguo is no longer of any use.

The more than ten million yuan he had was nothing to Cao Kun.

Because Zhou Ruiguo was very cooperative, the more than one million yuan that had been swindled out of was transferred back to Cao Tianheng's account without much effort.

Cao Kun stopped at a random intersection and gestured to Wang Meng.

Without saying a word, Wang Meng dragged Zhou Ruiguo out of the car and threw him onto the curb.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, Zhou Ruiguo gasped in pain, looked up at Cao Kun, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you're really letting me go?"

Cao Kun's lips curled into a cold smile: "Let you go? How could that be?"

He sat in the car and said in a calm tone:

"It's late at night, and you're alone on this street. Think about it, if your boss sends people to kill you again, do you think you can escape?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a night breeze swept in, chilling him to the bone.

Zhou Ruiguo shuddered, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

He immediately realized that Cao Kun was not letting him go at all, but forcing him to make a choice.

For the sake of his own life, the only option now is to turn himself in.

Only by hiding in prison can one escape the pursuit of their superiors.

Cao Kun ignored him and casually told Wang Meng, "Let's go."

The car lights came on, and it slowly drove away, disappearing into the night.

Zhou Ruiguo was left alone on the dimly lit street, the wind blowing dust all over his face.

He stared blankly into the distance, swallowed hard, and was about to turn and run away when he suddenly saw a figure dart past the street corner.

He shuddered violently and almost cried out in surprise.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a food delivery guy passing by late at night.

He clutched his chest, breathing heavily, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Suddenly he was stunned and realized that there was a police station not far away.

Cao Kun deliberately left him here.

Only then did he realize that he had nowhere to escape.

……

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Ruiguo finally walked shakily toward the police station not far away.

As he entered the police station, his voice trembled as he said, "Hello... comrade..."

At this moment, the police officer on duty was half asleep, dozing off with his eyes half-closed, wearing a coat.

Hearing the voice, assuming it was a nearby resident seeking help, I casually replied, "Hello, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ruiguo took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "I...I'm here to turn myself in..."

The police officer, still half-asleep, instinctively replied, "Huh? To wash your hands? The restroom is in the right-hand corridor, go ahead."

Helpless, Zhou Ruiguo raised his voice and repeated, "I said, I came to turn myself in..."

The police officer, somewhat impatient, waved his hand and said, "I told you it's the right-hand corridor. Go on, go on."

After a moment, the police officer seemed to be struck by lightning and suddenly came to his senses.

He quickly confirmed, "You said you're here to turn yourself in?"

……

July 9nd, 9:30 AM.

On the screen in front of Cao Kun, the lines representing the military and aerospace sector were as still and stagnant as stagnant water.

His brows furrowed slightly.

According to the hidden information in the system, the military and aerospace sector started to rise today.

From today until September 20th, the entire sector will see a 78% increase.

Strangely, there's been no movement on the market at all.

Kunlun Trading Office, Nagano City.

Yan Bin sat in front of his computer, holding a coffee in his hand, staring at the trends of those military stocks, and sighed.

"I think this sector is unlikely to rise."

He turned to Liu Yong and Qian Haoran beside him and said with a hint of relief, "Luckily, my two concept stocks didn't fall too much."

Liu Yong sighed: "Your two stocks haven't fallen much, but considering the entire sector, my total position has dropped by about five points."

The group looked at each other, a somber atmosphere filling the air.

Jin Ning, Presidential Suite.

Cao Kun was frowning in thought when suddenly the office door was pushed open.

Fu Die rushed in, her face beaming with undisguised excitement: "Boss, great news! A sector-wide positive development!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stock chart on Cao Kun's computer screen suddenly jumped up, and the military and aerospace sector instantly began to climb!

Cao Kun's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "What's going on?"

Fu Die, with a delighted expression, quickly reported to her supervisor:

"When Petrov evacuated the wounded from Mal, he also took with him over thirty Belarusian military experts!"

"An expert?" Cao Kun was slightly taken aback.
