Indeed, Zhang Jinzhong and his group made their move tonight!
Although Ye Yun had harbored a vague suspicion when he saw the two at the Wang family mansion during the day,
The reality still brought a surge of surprise. He was, after all, waiting for the funds to be drawn from Haixin Group before acquiring Gaohai Village.
He was in a race against time.
If the police hadn't intervened, Hengda would have already started acquiring the land.
Then he would be completely shut out of this opportunity.
Yes, he could make a substantial profit by shorting Haixin Group.
But at best, he would only earn a little over a hundred million.
That translated to a hundred percent return.
In contrast, Gaohai Village?
If he secured Gaohai Village, the profit could be six to seven times higher!
Houses priced at 1.5 million per unit could be resold to Hengda for 10 million!
Ye Yun had already meticulously planned.
If Zhang Jinzhong hadn't made a move within three days,
Even at a loss of nearly ten million, Ye Yun would have taken out 80 million to acquire Gaohai Village.
Fortunately, luck was on his side, and Zhang Jinzhong’s group acted today.
The only regret was that Li Zhaohui, who had offended him, had escaped.
He didn’t know where this spoiled brat had run off to, to have evaded this disaster.
However, Ye Yun only thought about it briefly.
Before Haixin Group collapsed, he wasn't afraid of Li Zhaohui.
Now that Haixin Group was gone, he had even less reason to bother with Li Zhaohui.
"That's it???"
Wang Wenwen tilted her head, utterly perplexed.
"Mr. Ye, do you know what this means? The arrest of all Haixin Group’s high-ranking officials signifies the end of Haixin Group, its complete downfall!"
"Without a doubt, the stock price of Haixin will plummet when trading opens tomorrow. We shorted a total of 700 million; we're going to make a fortune! Ye, Mr. Ye, you, you are truly a genius. Did you foresee all of this?"
Wang Wenwen became more and more excited, her fervent admiration making Ye Yun wonder
What that "crazy woman" might do if they weren't separated by a phone call.
In reality, Ye Yun himself hadn't fully grasped the terrifying magnitude of this profit.
Indeed, he had made a considerable sum himself this time.
With a principal of 130 million, he could earn between 130 to 150 million.
But remember, the five of them had invested a total of 700 million!
On average, each person invested 120 million.
Wang Hailin, due to issues with his other projects, invested the least, only 10 million.
Adding Ye Yun's share, it was 140 million.
In other words, the remaining 560 million was entirely invested by Wang Meiling, Wang Wenwen, and Lin Shiyou.
Each of them had invested close to 200 million!
In less than half a month, they had earned over 200 million.
Anyone would find it hard to remain calm about such an event!
It was only because Ye Yun, with his knowledge of the future from his rebirth, knew that even more astonishing profits awaited him.
Compared to those, this profit was indeed not worth such extreme excitement.
Of course, besides the excitement of making a large sum of money, Wang Wenwen was also
Awestruck by Ye Yun's foresight in shorting the thriving Haixin Group in advance.
Simultaneously, her admiration for Ye Yun deepened.
"Stop flattering me. I just had a feeling that Haixin Group might run into trouble."
Ye Yun replied calmly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
What was surprising about an event that had already occurred in his past life?
"By the way... Mr. Ye, I have a question for you."
Suddenly, Wang Wenwen on the other end of the line grew silent, then asked.
"Hmm? Go ahead," Ye Yun responded.
"Mr. Ye... if, I mean, hypothetically. If the Li family had contacted you early on, like Li Zhaohui, and you became friends, would you... would you help Haixin overcome its difficulties? And, also..." Wang Wenwen asked cautiously.
Her voice, especially the word "also," became almost inaudible.
"And what?"
"Nothing, just the first question." Wang Wenwen's face flushed red as an apple.
What she truly wanted to ask was just one thing.
Did Ye Yun help her, and by extension the entire Wang family,
Out of personal preference, or for some other reason?
However, how could she bring herself to say it?
She had been raised with strict upbringing; she was still an unmarried woman!
Decades of experience had made Ye Yun as perceptive as a sage.
How could he not discern the lingering affection and reluctance in Wang Wenwen's words?
To others, a prominent socialite and a famous celebrity like Wang Wenwen falling for Ye Yun, a married man with a child, would seem like a fairytale.
But Ye Yun didn't see it that way.
In fact, after his wife and daughter died in his past life, Ye Yun had resolved to change himself.
In his previous life, he was a true diamond bachelor.
Whether in looks, demeanor, or capability,
He was no less impressive than the aerospace expert Yu Tu depicted on television.
In fact, Ye Yun was even more outstanding and mature.
Just as Qiao Jingjing was drawn to Yu Tu, Wang Wenwen's attraction to Ye Yun was natural.
However.
He was, after all, a married man.
And in his heart, there was only space for two people.
Li Mengyao and Ye Keke.
Beyond them, there was no room for anyone else.
Since it was destined to be impossible, Ye Yun decided to nip it in the bud.
After a moment of thought, Ye Yun said,
"There is no such hypothetical. Everything happens for a reason. The Li family's repeated wrongdoings will lead to their downfall; no one can help them. Even if I knew the Li family, and I had warned them, they were already acting as a protective shield for Xian Shang Ren Jian."
"It's like your father cutting corners when building the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge; this matter was already decided. However, some things can be rectified, while others cannot. Your father was willing to take responsibility, and without your and Sister Meiling's support, Hailin Environmental Company would have gone bankrupt."
"The mistakes made by the Li family are beyond anyone's help. Enough talk; it's late, and if we continue, we'll wake Keke, and the little girl will fuss. I'm going to sleep."
With that, before Wang Wenwen could reply, Ye Yun hung up the phone.
On the other end,
Wang Wenwen listened to the dial tone in her phone, remaining silent for a long time.
How could she not understand the meaning behind Ye Yun's words?
A destined fact.
Some things can be changed, while others cannot.
Wasn't that implying that Ye Yun's marriage was a destined fact?
And what couldn't be changed was the birth of the adorable little girl, Keke?
Instantly, Wang Wenwen, who should have been happy about earning 200 million, felt her cheeks moisten.
For the first time in her life, since childhood, she felt true admiration and genuine affection for someone.
And it was ending just like that?
Was it over?
Wang Wenwen looked up at the sky.
She simply wanted to feel the sensation of tears tracing her cheeks.
Hoping these tears would wash away her sorrow.
However, even with their short acquaintance,
Wang Wenwen felt that Ye Yun had left an indelible impression on her heart.
With a good family background, stunning looks, and celebrity status,
She was not short of admirers.
Mature, handsome, humorous, wealthy...
There was every type imaginable.
Yet, no matter whom she compared them to, Wang Wenwen was certain they were worlds apart from Ye Yun.
An end?
No!
What destiny, what predetermined facts, were all nonsense!
Wang Wenwen wiped away her tears, her gaze gradually becoming resolute.
I only believe that man can conquer fate!
