After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

the next day.

"Shengshi Entertainment's stock price is relatively stable today."

Liu Zhengli's calm voice came from the phone, tinged with a hint of seriousness, "The Su Group has been making frequent moves, so it shouldn't see a significant drop in the short term."

"As expected." Ye Feng's tone was so calm that no emotion could be detected. "Continue to buy at low prices. Also, try to create some volatility."

"Understood," Liu Zhengli replied briefly, then hung up the phone.

Ye Feng put down his phone.

The involvement of the Su Group undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the acquisition, but Ye Feng was never one to give up easily.

The city, shrouded in night, appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

A sudden ringing broke the silence of the night.

"President Ye, something's happened at Maple Leaf Pavilion!" Li Anyue's voice sounded somewhat panicked on the other end of the phone.

"What happened?" Ye Feng's heart sank. Maple Leaf Pavilion was a private restaurant under his name, which he always operated discreetly. How could something have happened to it all of a sudden?

"Explosion! An explosion has occurred at Maple Leaf Pavilion, resulting in the deaths of two employees..." Li Anyue's voice trembled, clearly shocked by this sudden turn of events.

Ye Feng's face instantly turned ashen, a chill running from his feet to the top of his head. Maple Leaf Pavilion's security measures were always extremely tight; how could an explosion have occurred? This was no accident!

"Immediately block the news, take control of the scene, and thoroughly investigate this matter!" Ye Feng's tone was icy, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I'll go right away!" Li Anyue said firmly.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Feng immediately convened an emergency meeting with his core team.

"The Maple Leaf Pavilion explosion was no accident!" Ye Feng sat at the head of the conference table, his gaze sharp as he scanned everyone present. "Someone is deliberately targeting us!"

The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy, and everyone could feel the powerful aura emanating from Ye Feng.

"An Yue, I'm entrusting you with full responsibility for this matter. Make sure you find out the truth!" Ye Feng looked at Li An Yue.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, I will find out the truth as soon as possible and give you an explanation!" Li Anyue's eyes were firm and his tone was strong.

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded. "The rest of you, continue to monitor the stock price fluctuations of Shengshi Entertainment and be prepared at any time."

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

After the meeting, Ye Feng dialed Liu Zhengli's number again.

"Zhengli, change the strategy." Ye Feng's voice was deep and calm. "Place orders in a diversified manner, simulate investment behavior of different scales, and test the market reaction."

"Place orders in multiple places?" Liu Zhengli asked with a hint of doubt. "The market sentiment is unstable right now, so doing this is very risky."

“I know,” Ye Feng said firmly, “but risks and opportunities coexist. The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities there are to fish in troubled waters.”

"I understand, Mr. Ye." Liu Zhengli's tone was tinged with admiration. He knew that Ye Feng was about to start his amazing operation again.

"The stock price of Shengshi Entertainment is quite interesting." Liu Qingyi's slender fingers slid across the tablet, where a complex candlestick chart was displayed. "It has gone up, but the trading volume is insufficient. It seems that someone is testing the waters."

She pressed the internal phone: "Suspend most of the operations of Groups B and C, and only retain a small number of buy orders to maintain market activity."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingyi dialed Ye Feng's number.

"Busy?" Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm.

"Simulating retail investor operations." Ye Feng's voice sounded somewhat tired.

"Simulation?" Liu Qingyi chuckled. "You, Young Master Ye, need simulation? Don't tell me you don't even know how retail investors operate."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Ye Feng said calmly, "The business world is like a battlefield, and underestimating your enemy is a major taboo."

"That sounds very high-sounding," Liu Qingyi said with a hint of disdain. "So, how did your simulation go? How much did you earn?"

"Ten million went in, now it's nine million eight hundred thousand." Ye Feng's tone remained calm, as if the loss of two hundred thousand was insignificant to him.

Liu Qingyi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Ye Feng, you've finally met your match! How does it feel to lose 200,000?"

"I don't feel anything," Ye Feng replied casually. "It's just a numbers game."

"Stubborn to the end." Liu Qingyi snorted coldly. "If you really want to practice, why don't you hand over the funds of Jinxiu Group to me to manage? I guarantee you'll make a fortune."

"No need," Ye Feng said coldly. "I'll handle my own affairs."

"You..." Liu Qingyi was about to explode when she suddenly saw a news notification pop up on her computer screen—"Financial Problems Exposed at Shengshi Entertainment's Affiliated Company, Potentially Facing Huge Losses!"

"What is this?" Liu Qingyi's expression changed, and she quickly clicked on the news link.

Ye Feng also saw the news, his brows furrowed.

The report details the financial problems of several affiliated companies under Shengshi Entertainment, with detailed data and irrefutable evidence.

"Someone is deliberately spreading rumors," Ye Feng said coldly, "trying to drive down the stock price."

“This report…” Liu Qingyi read the report carefully, her face growing increasingly grim. “The content doesn’t seem to be baseless, but some of the data is clearly exaggerated.”

"Someone is taking advantage of the chaos," Ye Feng said firmly. "They want to buy Shengshi Entertainment at a low price while things are in disarray."

"Shengshi Entertainment will probably fall further today." Liu Zhengli pointed at the green numbers flashing on the computer screen, his brows furrowed.

"Let it fall if it falls." Ye Feng said calmly, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. "Place orders around 12 yuan, buy in batches, and keep the total amount under control at 30% of the original plan."

Liu Zhengli hesitated for a moment: "Brother Feng, entering the market now is very risky. What if..."

“There’s no chance of anything going wrong.” Ye Feng interrupted him, his eyes sharp. “This is an opportunity, and we must seize it.”

“But, funds…” Liu Zhengli looked at Ye Feng with concern.

"We're reserving 50% of the funds for deeper involvement," Ye Feng said firmly. "I'm determined to acquire Shengshi Entertainment."

Liu Zhengli took a deep breath. He knew that once Ye Feng made a decision, he wouldn't easily change it.

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

Shengshi Entertainment's stock price plummeted, quickly approaching the 12 yuan mark.

Just then, some large institutions and individual investors began to enter the market and take over the shares, causing the stock price to rebound slightly.

The atmosphere in the group's WeChat chat was lively.

"It's down to 12 yuan! A good opportunity to buy at the bottom!"

"I think we can wait a little longer; maybe it will go even lower."

"Don't wait any longer! Now is the perfect time! I've already gone all in!"

"I've added to my position too! Let's take a gamble, maybe a bicycle will turn into a motorcycle!"

……

Looking at the messages in the group, Liu Qingyi sneered and sent a message in the group: "Be careful, especially for those who have invested heavily. The market is constantly changing, don't be misled by temporary fluctuations."

The group chat fell silent instantly.

"Qingyi is right, we still need to be cautious."

"Yes, I acted impulsively just now, but luckily I didn't buy too much."
