Feng Jun immediately understood that the stock price rise was due to some institutions preparing for an exit, pushing up the stock one last time.

Additionally, there were rumors that some people were taking advantage of the rising stock price to continue lending out shares, though it was unclear if these were small shareholders unaware of the situation, or someone trying to intimidate him, the large short seller.

Feng Jun tended to think that the other party might be trying to scare him off, since there really weren't many good people in Sister Hua's group.

However, he found that there were fewer shares available for borrowing today, especially in the second half of the session, where hardly anyone was lending their shares.

Yet, Bai Rui's stock price remained high, occasionally making further surges.

By Tuesday, Bai Rui finally announced a theft in their laboratory, but they emphasized that most of what was lost were "past materials" and that the losses were still being calculated, while they had temporarily filed a considerable number of patent applications.

In short, the losses weren't significant and Bai Rui, due to their hatred of "thieving peers," offered a large reward—our losses really aren't significant, but in order to rectify the industry atmosphere, we are offering a huge bounty to capture those despicable people.

So when Tuesday's market opened, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' stock fluctuated slightly but quickly stabilized and surged again.

At this point, Feng Jun's account couldn't borrow any shares, he couldn't short sell, and had to watch the stock price continue to rise.

Yu Qingzhu's representative actively contacted Zhang Caixin, expressing their belief that someone might be trying to empty this account before releasing unfavorable news—the key is that with that statement, it could delay things for several more days.

After hearing this, Feng Jun just blandly said, "I know," and the next moment, his mobile phone lost signal again.

An hour later, on his way to the airport, Krulini, the president of Bai Rui Company, was involved in a car accident. The business car he was in plunged into a river, and all four people in the car perished.

According to witnesses, when the car hit the bridge railing, the railing had initially stopped the car, and the airbags had deployed, but somehow, the solid railing suddenly broke, causing the car to plunge forward and finally fall into the river.

Krulini was an enterprising president, under his leadership, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals had been thriving, and he was well-liked by the board of directors. In the face of this "theft scandal" at Bai Rui's laboratory, he promptly stepped up and presented an aggressive posture.

Because of his strong enterprising spirit, he usually guarded against foul play and rode in a bulletproof business car, but even the most bulletproof car couldn't protect against water. Due to the central control system being locked, he couldn't even get out of the car and was drowned alive.

These kinds of incidents cannot be concealed, Bai Rui's laboratory could be sealed off to block information—after all, everyone had signed confidentiality agreements—but in broad daylight, when a car bursts through a railing and plunges into a river, who can suppress so many onlookers from speaking out?

Seven or eight minutes later, Bai Rui shares, initially surging like a rainbow, took a nosedive, triggering a halt in trading after five minutes, and once trading resumed, another halt occurred within ten minutes...

Throughout Tuesday, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' stock price plummeted by twenty-six percent, with over thirty billion US dollars evaporating in an instant.

Actually, even though Bai Rui had problems, market makers were aware—even if news was blocked, they couldn't be completely unaware, but everyone was still thinking about how to make a safe exit, and Bai Rui's board was actively lobbying.

Yet Krulini's death unveiled Bai Rui's facade, and it couldn't be ruled out that the car accident was human-made. In this situation, it would be odd if people didn't crazily exit.

Many also understood that Bai Rui's fundamental assets were still there; these two incidents might cause short-term volatility in the stock price, but the long-term impact might not be significant. However...finding a qualified successor as leader isn't easy, is it?

Thus, under the influence of market panic, not making a mad dash to exit would be foolish.

All of Feng Jun's investments immediately broke even, yielding a profit of over ten percent. Of his thirty billion allocation, he used less than fifteen billion, profiting two hundred seventy million, considering his principal was only ten billion, that's actually a twenty-seven percent gain.

Converted to Huaxia currency, that's a solid fifteen billion, this operation was not a loss.

Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' independent director lashed out on Twitter, saying, "Shameless thieves not only steal but also killed the host. Yes, this is a war, and Bai Rui has the confidence to win the final victory in this war."

In the following two days, Bai Rui's stock price stabilized, didn't fall further, but lacked the strength to rise.

The trader entrusted by Yu Qingzhu was very steady in his operation, taking three days to digest the victory, and because of subsequent stock fluctuations, the final profit surprisingly reached two hundred eighty million US dollars.

However, due to this operation, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' people also finally realized that the mastermind behind this...might be from Huaxia?

The board of directors was puzzled: When did we offend Huaxia?

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Krulini had arranged for someone to steal a potential new cancer treatment drug in Huaxia. Although Krulini was not the initiator, he did approve the operation.

Moreover, there has been no news from the people who went to Huaxia to steal the new drug so far.

There is no evidence to indicate that it was done by a Huaxia citizen, but for capitalists skilled in deceit, do they need evidence for such things? Personal conviction is enough.

Yu Qingzhu had been striving for several days but still hadn't advanced to the Transformation period. Zhang Caixin advised her not to focus solely on breaking through; cultivation is all about knowing when to exert and when to relax.

Then, she contacted her friends again, who were very impressed with her actions, "The next time something like this comes up, remember to count us in... Everyone benefiting together is what truly matters."

The other party didn't explicitly say that Yu was behind the two incidents with Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals, but they were aware that the Yu Family was inevitably involved, and with their enormous influence, it wouldn't be surprising for them to be entangled in such matters.

This wave of maneuvers eventually passed, with the thirty tons of gold Feng Jun put forward being taken away — of course, this was done with his consent, and he gained over eight billion Huaxia Yuan.

The more than eight billion included not only money from selling gold but also his gains from the U.S. stock market.

No one dared to mess with his money, especially those who represented Huaxia in foreign investments — skimming state money might allow one to live quietly in a small country, but messing with an individual's money, especially someone from the Yu family, wouldn't help even if they fled to the ends of the earth.

For this reason, Feng Jun generously gave Yu Qingzhu five hundred million as a dividend. Although he was the mastermind and main actor, without the platform she facilitated and the ability of professionals to execute the plan, he wouldn't have been able to earn that money.

Yu Qingzhu initially didn't want to accept it. She said it was the duty of a disciple to serve, and this was what she should do, stating that she only made a few phone calls and someone else handled the specifics, while even the collateral was provided by her master.

"With an attitude like that, can I still ask you for help in the future?" Feng Jun's expression darkened, "You decide how much dividend to give others, but I only recognize you... I care less about how much money was made than venting my grievances."

His tone was somewhat like "regretting the founding of Alibaba", but he genuinely felt that way.

Yu Qingzhu also knew that Elder Feng wasn't bluffing — with thousands of tons of gold in hand, would he even care about this amount of money?

So she reluctantly accepted — not that she valued the money, but she couldn't make her master unhappy.

Two days after receiving the money, Yu Zhiyuan called again. He informed Feng Jun of a new development that a project invested by Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals domestically was suspended, officially due to the unexpected death of the president, which might necessitate adjusting business strategies.

However, those involved in the negotiations secretly indicated: "Bai Rui encountered some issues, and you, Huaxia capital, took the opportunity to short our stocks. With partners like you, how could we dare to continue collaborating?"

The local government was infuriated by this, and directly filed a report: "We are negotiating, who is undermining us?"

As long as higher authorities paid attention, it was easy to find out who was undermining them — the Funiu Yu Family.

However, upon investigation, the authorities considered it a normal financial behavior and felt it was inappropriate to criticize — aren't stocks meant to be speculated on?

Anyway, when the call reached Yu Zhiyuan, he simply stood his ground, "In wartime, friendly fire happens quite often — which fully demonstrates that we are now in a true market economy, no longer a monolithic entity."

He relayed this with a smile, but in the last two sentences, he solemnly stated, "I believe Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals won't just let it go. They have always been the ones to take with force; having you tear off such a massive chunk, they won't just let it slide with a mere shrug."

"Well, let them come then," Feng Jun dismissed, "I've been warned not to go too far, but if they continue to be relentless, it certainly won't be me regretting it."

"I know you're formidable," Yu Zhiyuan chuckled dryly, "What I mean is, try to limit going abroad from now on, including telling Qingzhu the same. Within the country, with your strength and the domestic security environment, nothing should happen."

Feng Jun responded with a half-hearted smile, "I do want to go abroad, but the elder said I've been placed on the overseas travel blacklist."

"Ahem," Yu Zhiyuan coughed awkwardly, realizing that the elder's actions were somewhat crude and simplistic, though ultimately futile; Feng Jun could travel abroad physically, but not being able to leave through normal routes still posed some obstacles for his emigration abroad.

He then changed the topic, "Those people really don't understand the situation. Even we couldn't extract the cancer miracle drug from you, yet a small pharmaceutical company like theirs dares to covet your stuff?"

Feng Jun softly cleared his throat, "Mr. Yu, just say what you want directly, why beat around the bush?"

"Then I'll be frank," Yu Zhiyuan didn't hold back, "I've heard that Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals lost a lot of data, and their server is missing as well. That's a good thing for our country... Could I trouble you to help locate it?"
