Chapter 784: Five Companies Suffering a Huge Setback Concurrently

When Lu Jingye’s cell phone rang, he and Zi Yi had already grasped the initiative of the battle.

Zi Yi said to Lu Jingye, “Let’s make those four families go bankrupt tonight.”

Lu Jingye nodded. When he heard his phone ringing, he grabbed it and took a glance at the I.D.

“Who’s calling?”

Zi Yi tilted her head and glanced at him for a second before she continued staring at the virtual screen.

Lu Jingye responded. “It’s my Eldest Uncle.”

“Don’t answer it. They must be unable to hold on any longer and want to ask you for your help. You’re not allowed to help them,” Zi Yi said overbearingly. She tapped her finger on the screen as she said, “If you dare to help them, I’ll hack your computer.”

Lu Jingye looked at his wife and the corner of his lips curved up. He then put his phone aside.

“Mhmm, I won’t answer.”

Zi Yi was happy with his answer and said, “Someone is attacking the Song Jewelry.”

Lu Jingye placed his fingers on the keyboard with a calm expression. Sometime later, he said, “It’s the UP Group.”

Zi Yi furrowed her eyebrows. “It seems like Rick’s incident still ended up reaching Hank.”

“Mhmm.”

“Then let’s have fun with them.” Zi Yi then said, “Don’t take any action on your side. I’ll play with them instead.”

On the surface, the Song Group was about to be breached under the covert operation of the UP Group. However, at the very last moment, there was a lack of funds in the UP Group’s capital reserve.

“What’s going on?!”

The young man looked at the warning appearing on the computer and his expression changed.

“A hacker attacked our main program, and in particular, our capital chain.”

“No good. Our capital chain has been cut off.”

“80 billion has suddenly disappeared from our company.”

The moment the young man heard those words, he suddenly stood up and quickly gave an order. “Check! Find out who had attacked our company.”

Sometime later.

“The target cannot be identified.”

BAM!

The man slammed his hands down on the table heavily and headed outside the room in large strides.

…

There would originally be three large attacks against the capital’s financial circle. However, after the second wave of attack, there were no longer any follow-up attacks.

Until the next morning, many executives who were defending their companies were all in disbelief.

However, when the capital’s stock market opened for business the next day, everyone received the shock of their lives.

“Last night, the Lu Family, the Ouyang Family, the He Family, the Dongfang Family, and the Qin Family’s stocks plunged by so much!”

“Don’t tell me they are going to go bankrupt?”

“With such a huge plunge, even if they don’t immediately declare bankruptcy, they’re not far from it.”

Today was New Year’s Day and for the common masses, it was the most festive day out of the year.

However, for the whole of the financial circle, there were many who were trapped in despair.

In particular, Eldest Master Lu and his son.

The both of them sat in the company’s meeting room for an entire night and their eyes were bloodshot. As for their expressions, there was an unprecedented gloominess.

Just then, Lu Zhiheng suddenly touched his forehead and said in a difficult tone, “Father, what should we do now?”

Eldest Master Lu looked at him calmly, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.

Lu Zhiheng’s body trembled.

Eldest Master Lu said sternly, “If you didn’t have the ability, you shouldn’t have taken up what you couldn’t manage. Right now, do you know how you are lacking?”

The resentment that Lu Zhiheng had been suppressing deep within his heart now exploded forth. He said with reddened eyes, “How am I lacking? It’s all because of Lu Jingye. He is the one who took away the executives of the Lu Group and he also used some underhanded means in secret. That’s why I had…”

“You and your m*therfu*king nonsense!” Eldest Master Lu could not hold back anymore and swore out loud. At the same time, he turned around and fiercely punched his son.

BAM!

Lu Zhiheng was beaten to the ground.

He held his aching left cheek and he felt that his teeth had all been smashed.

Eldest Master Lu looked at Lu Zhiheng who was sitting on the ground. He hated how Lu Zhiheng had failed to meet his expectations. “I’ll go to your Second Uncle’s House to ask them for help. You had better go home and reflect on yourself. If you still fail to realize your mistakes, you can also follow your mother to the countryside to farm!”

Having said that, he strode out of the room and headed to the elevator.

…

Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had only managed to fall asleep at around 2 a.m. The next morning, Lu Jingye woke up according to his biological clock.

He planned to get up first, but the moment he moved, Zi Yi, who was in his embrace, grabbed his clothes while she muttered overbearingly, “Don’t get up.”

Lu Jingye looked at the woman in his embrace who did not even bother opening her eyes and said, “You can continue sleeping. I have some things to discuss with Father.”

“No…”

Zi Yi simply put her arm around his neck and stopped him. “You, stay and sleep with me.”

Lu Jingye had no choice but to accompany her and continue to sleep.

Eldest Master Lu and Mrs. Lu woke up rather early today.

Both of them had prepared red envelopes in their pockets. Mrs. Lu had even put on a festive red coat.

After she wore the coat, she specially asked Second Master Lu, “Jianlin, do you think I’m acting too young for my age by wearing this?”

“You aren’t old at all.” Lu Jianlin’s greatest sense of accomplishment in his life was that he could let his wife avoid worrying about trivial matters. Even though she was in her fifties, she still looked young and beautiful.

He then said something nice that only happened once in a blue moon, “You will always be the most beautiful person in my eyes.”

Mrs. Lu felt a surge of sweetness in her heart, but she ended up saying, “You’re already someone in his fifties, and so aren’t you ashamed of saying that?”

Lu Jianlin stopped talking after that.

Mrs. Lu was still expecting him to say something nice, so the moment she saw that expression of his, she unhappily hammered his arm and said, “Wooden brain.”

Having said that, she headed downstairs first.

Lu Jianlin hastily followed her.

While walking, Mrs. Lu said, “We’ll eat glutinous rice balls for breakfast this morning and we’ll prepare it ourselves. Let’s allow Jingye and Yiyi to sleep a while longer. I don’t know what time they returned last night. Also, did Yunxiao come back home yesterday?”

Lu Jianlin followed behind her and listened to her rambling without answering.

By the time they arrived on the first floor, Housekeeper Wang had led the helpers over to give a New Year’s greeting.

Mrs. Lu distributed a red packet to everyone with a smile and also said a few auspicious words back. Following that, everyone returned to their posts.

Mrs. Lu led Lu Jianlin to her small kitchen. She poured some glutinous rice flour into the basin for Lu Jianlin to knead while she mixed the stuffing.

Lu Jianlin had a strong grip and often at times, Mrs. Lu liked to let him do things like this.

“When you’re done kneading the flour, steam some steamed buns later. Otherwise, Jingye and Yunxiao will not have enough to eat.”

It was not that the two brothers would not have enough to eat. It was that they did not like sweet food at all. In particular, food that was soft and sticky.

Lu Jianlin obvoiusly ended up following her instructions.

However, not long after they had entered the kitchen, Housekeeper Wang came over and said to Lu Jianlin, “Second Master, the Eldest Master is here.”

Mrs. Lu furrowed her brows and said, “Why did brother come so early in the morning? Could it be that he’s here to call us back to the main residence?”

Mrs. Lu felt very unhappy. It was New Year’s and who would like to go back to receive Patriarch Lu’s temper?

Lu Jianlin did not say anything. He washed his hands and said, “I’ll go take a look.”

Having said that, he went out of the kitchen.

Eldest Master Lu was currently standing in the living room and did not take a seat. The moment he saw Second Master Lu coming out of the kitchen, he spoke with great difficulty. “Second Brother, the Lu Group was attacked last night.”
