Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Since the last meeting, Parker seems to have paid special attention to Liu Xia.

He frequently contacted Liu Xia privately, and from time to time he threw out some "inside information" about the game between Godma Capital and Rising Star Investment.

One evening, Parker asked Liu Xia to meet him at a cafe outside the school.

He stirred his coffee gently, smiling confidently, "Ms. Liu, I think you're a smart person. You don't want to be on the wrong side, right?"

Liu Xia suppressed her inner nervousness and responded with a smile, "Mr. Parker, your proposal has indeed benefited me greatly, but I think you should understand the situation between me and New Star Investment. After all, our relationship is very delicate."

Parker nodded, as if anticipating her response. "Of course. Since you're interested, I can tell you something important—Godma Capital has mastered Nova Capital's core strategy."

Liu Xia was startled, her pupils constricted slightly, but her tone remained calm: "What strategy?"

Parker smiled softly and pulled out a document, pushing it towards her. "This is the result of our analysis and deductions from multiple channels. Nova Smart Investment's strategy is indeed powerful, but it also has fatal flaws. We plan to use a higher-frequency, more accurate AI model to catch them off guard."

Liu Xia stared at the document and couldn't help feeling nervous.

She knew that this information might be false, but if it was true, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to New Star Investment.

After returning to her residence, Liu Xia looked over and over the documents given by Parker.

These data seem to be true, but some parts are ambiguous, like "clues" left deliberately.

She remembered that Li Hao once reminded her: Parker likes to use overt tactics to make it difficult for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"Should I tell Li Hao?" she muttered to herself, her heart full of contradictions.

A few minutes later, she made a video call to Li Hao.

Li Hao on the other side of the screen had a frown on his face, seemingly busy with company affairs.

"What's wrong?" Li Hao asked, with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

"I got some information...about Godma Capital's plan for New Star Investment." Liu Xia whispered, briefly relaying the contents of the document.

After listening to this, Li Hao fell into deep thought.

He said after a few seconds: "These data may be true, but they may also be bait deliberately thrown by Parker."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Xia asked, her voice filled with anxiety.

"Don't panic." Li Hao's tone was firm. "Proceed according to the plan first. Slow down all actions and observe Godma's movements first."

However, things developed much faster than they expected.

A few days later, a key strategy of Xinxing Zhitou suddenly failed in the capital market, resulting in a series of losses.

Li Hao sat in the office, staring at the data fluctuations on the screen with a frown.

He quickly retrieved historical data for comparison and found that Godma Capital's actions were extremely precise, almost as if it knew every step of Xinxing Zhitou in advance.

"This is a leaked strategy!" Xu Lei rushed into the conference room, his tone anxious. "Some of our core models have been targeted and countered, and the losses are approaching the warning line."

"Stop the current strategy immediately and switch to the backup plan." Li Hao said calmly, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He thought of the documents sent by Liu Xia and finally realized that this was a trap carefully set by Parker, and Liu Xia might have been used.

Late that night, Liu Xia called Li Hao.

On the other side of the screen, her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was full of self-blame: "Brother Hao, is it because of the information I provided that New Star Investment lost so much?"

Li Hao stared at the screen in silence for a few seconds, then said softly, "This isn't your fault. Parker has been eyeing us for a long time, and it's only a matter of time before he uses you. The fact that you have this information is a great help in itself."

"But...if I hadn't told you this, would things have been better?" Liu Xia's voice was filled with strong regret.

"Liu Xia, listen to me." Li Hao's tone softened. "We all know Parker is adept at overt schemes. Even without you, he would have found other ways to deal with New Star Investment. On the contrary, your intelligence helped us discover the problem in advance, and the losses have been minimized."

He paused, then added, "I'll take responsibility for all of this. You don't have to blame yourself."

In fact, Li Hao had already anticipated that Parker would use Liu Xia, but he deliberately did not give too many reminders.

He knew that if he asked Liu Xia to withdraw directly, Parker would definitely doubt her identity, which would put her in a more dangerous situation.

Therefore, he chose to bear the loss silently, while secretly adjusting his strategy to deal with Godma Capital's next move.

In front of Liu Xia, Li Hao maintained a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I'm here, and all problems will be solved."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao looked at the dark night sky outside the window, a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"Parker, you won the opening this time, but don't think the game is over." Li Hao whispered to himself, "I will definitely find your weakness."

At the same time, in the office of Godma Capital, Parker sat on the sofa with a glass of red wine and a smug smile on his face.

"How is it?" the assistant asked. "Did New Star Investment respond as we expected?"

"It's completely under control." Parker gently swirled his glass, his tone icy. "Li Hao suffered a great loss this time, but he certainly won't give up. He'll fight back, and we've prepared an even bigger surprise for his counterattack."

"A bigger surprise?" The assistant showed a puzzled expression.

Parker smiled slightly and looked up at the night outside the window: "Yes. When he plays his cards, we will make him lose this game completely."

……

Ever since Li Hao took on all the responsibility, Liu Xia has never been able to calm down.

She couldn't bear to become a burden to Li Hao, and she couldn't accept that Parker's conspiracy succeeded.

So, she quietly decided to take action and try to save the situation herself.

Liu Xia spent several days re-studying the documents provided by Parker and found out Parker's private itinerary through some channels.

Finally, she found an opportunity and asked Parker to meet her at a private club.

"Ms. Liu, I'm really surprised you came to me." Parker sat on the sofa, legs crossed, a glass of red wine in his hand. He had a playful smile on his face, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Liu Xia forced a smile and sat across from him: "Mr. Parker, I want to talk about our previous cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Parker raised an eyebrow and then smiled. "Interesting. I thought you were just observing and taking notes, but I didn't expect you'd be interested in going deeper."

"We all have our own interests. I think we can be more honest this time." Liu Xia's tone was calm, but her heart was already turbulent.

Parker narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. "Frankness is good. So, tell me, what is your position? Or, in other words, why do you suddenly want to 'cooperate'?"

Liu Xia paused for a moment, then replied calmly, "Because of Li Hao. He always takes everything on himself, but I don't want to hide behind him forever. This time, I don't want to be a passive bystander."

Parker seemed quite satisfied with this answer and nodded. "Very courageous. However, Ms. Liu, cooperation is not just talk. You know, the cost and risk of this game are very high. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"I just need to know one thing." Liu Xia stared at Parker and said firmly, "What is your ultimate goal?"

Parker put down his glass and smiled slightly: "Ms. Liu, you should ask Li Hao this question instead of asking me. Because the answer may be more complicated than you think."

There was an obvious temptation in Parker's words. Liu Xia noticed that he was observing her reaction. She was secretly alert in her heart, but she remained calm on her face.

Liu Xia tried to dig out more information from Parker's words, but Parker was obviously experienced and spoke carefully, revealing almost no valuable details.

Just when Liu Xia thought the conversation was going nowhere, Parker suddenly changed the subject: "Ms. Liu, I'm actually curious. How much do you know about Li Hao's strategy? Or, in other words, are you willing to share some...special intelligence with us?"

This question hit Liu Xia's soft spot. If she showed any sign of wavering, Parker might see through her true intentions.

"Intelligence?" Liu Xia smiled calmly. "Mr. Parker, I thought you knew everything about Nova Investment. Why are you asking me now?"

Parker narrowed his eyes slightly. "There's never too much intelligence. Besides, Ms. Liu, you know Li Hao better than anyone else."

Liu Xia's heart sank, and she secretly reminded herself that she must be careful in dealing with the situation.

She quickly changed the subject, pretending to be interested in asking about Godma Capital's other plans, trying to get more details from Parker.

Parker is not someone who is easily fooled.

He quickly noticed that Liu Xia's question was somewhat deliberate, and his gaze grew sharper. "Ms. Liu, I'm curious. You're so concerned about this. Are you doing this for yourself, or gathering intelligence for others?"

Liu Xia's heart seemed to skip a beat.

But she still forced herself to remain calm and smiled faintly: "I'm just evaluating the possibility of cooperation. After all, if you can't provide sufficient benefits, there's no need for me to take the risk and participate."

Parker stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled. "Interesting. Then I'll give you a test. If you can pass it, we can talk more deeply next time."

"What test?" Liu Xia asked, alert in her heart.

Parker didn't answer, but handed her a document: "Take a look at this first, then make a decision."

Liu Xia took the document and quickly glanced at it, and found that it was full of strategic analysis of New Star Investment and Godma Capital's next plan.

The document seemed very important, but Liu Xia soon realized that it might be another smokescreen by Parker.

After returning to her residence, Liu Xia immediately organized and encrypted the contents of the document, and sent a brief report to Li Hao.

After receiving the news, Li Hao quickly analyzed the contents of the document and soon discovered the hidden clues: "The data is somewhat contradictory. They are trying to guide us to adjust our strategy, but if these adjustments are actually implemented, they will only increase our losses."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Xia asked.

"Do the opposite," Li Hao said calmly. "They want us to believe this information is true, but if we do the opposite of what they say, we can counter their plan."
