Chapter 382 - Settle Once and For All

Ye Qiu left Jinling Hospital and took a taxi back to the old textile factory residential area.

Other than spending more than three hours coming and going, it didn’t take even half an hour to treat Liang Shipeng at Jinling Hospital.

However, time flew by quickly, and when Zhang Jing returned, it took almost an hour, and then Ye Qiu went over.

Now, as Ye Qiu returned to the old residential area, it was already around six in the morning.

This was the best time for cultivation.

Ye Qiu returned to his room and continued to sit cross-legged on the mat to cultivate.

At a little past eight in the morning, Zhang Jing intentionally or unintentionally called some high-level executives of Liang Group to prepare them mentally, but she did not mention Liang Shipeng’s condition.

On the other hand, when reporters called to ask Zhang Jing, she also accepted the interviews but did not disclose Liang Shipeng’s condition over the phone, merely stating that they were mentally prepared.

From these reactions, the executives of Liang Group, including the board members and the reporters, all believed that Liang Shipeng might already be critically ill.

Many reporters swarmed to Jinling Hospital to interview Zhang Jing, but by then, Liang Shipeng, who had fully recovered, had already been transferred to another high-end ward.

Now he was just waiting.

He had to wait a few more days.

Besides preparing for a stock market ambush, he wanted to see who within Liang Group wanted him dead, to use this opportunity to clear out the unstable elements.

At 9:30 in the morning, as the domestic stock market opened, Liang Group’s stock plunged immediately because many investors had heard the rumor that Chairman and CEO Liang Shipeng had likely died of late-stage cancer last night.

By then, it was expected that Liang Shipeng’s wife, Zhang Jing, would take over the company’s control.

From the hints revealed by Liang Shipeng that day, the executives of the group company knew that Liang Shipeng did not want to pass the management rights to the board of directors or professional managers, but to Zhang Jing instead.

If Liang Shipeng were dead or critically ill, his management rights would be directly handed over to Zhang Jing.

Still, Zhang Jing did not return to the company but answered calls from the executives and management, sounding quite saddened over the phone.

From these situations, outsiders speculated that Liang Shipeng was certainly in a very serious condition.

At 9:45 in the morning, after Liang Group’s stock hit the lower circuit breaker and more and more retail investors sold off their shares, by 10 o’clock, all the stocks thrown out by the retail investors were bought up by a mysterious institution.

This puzzled the stock market and those retail investors and experts.

Who exactly was taking the opportunity to buy a large amount of Liang Group’s stock?

Soon, some experts guessed that it was probably the board of directors of Liang Group buying more shares to gain more power, assuming that Liang Shipeng was critically ill.

This time, about 15% of the shares were purchased.

With only 25% of the shares in circulation, this mysterious institution bought 15%, leaving only 10% dispersed among retail investors.

Though the 10% seemed considerable, it was not much compared to the other 90% of Liang Group’s shares.

This time, it could be said that Liang Shipeng made a big profit.

In three days, with three consecutive lower circuit breakers, Liang Group lost nearly a hundred billion in market value.

But now, all those shares were bought at the lowest price, and if the price rose back to the highest, selling them would not only make a hundred billion but also boost Liang Group’s market value, which would be more than a hundred billion.

One could say that Ye Qiu saved his life this time.

Spending a billion was completely worth it to him.

Moreover, after experiencing life and death, Liang Shipeng realized he should ingratiate himself with someone as skilled as Ye Qiu, not threaten them.

“Zhang Jing, did you transfer the money to Dr.

Ye?”

Liang Shipeng looked at Zhang Jing beside him and asked.

Zhang Jing had not rested well for many days.

Helping her husband deal with those matters in the morning, she finally got a few hours of good rest.

Upon hearing her husband’s question, Zhang Jing said, “I already arranged for the transfer as soon as the bank opened.”

“The money was definitely worth it.

We might earn tens of billions this time.”

“You really scared me to death this time.

If it weren’t for Dr.

Ye, you might have met King Yanluo today.”

Now that Liang Shipeng had fully recovered in a ward, only Zhang Jing, Ye Qiu, and the female nurse knew, as well as Director Luo.

Director Luo, upon learning that it was Ye Qiu who cured Liang Shipeng last night, didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t even describe Ye Qiu’s medical skills.

After Ye Qiu finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, it was already past eight in the morning.

As he got ready, eating breakfast, he saw Ye Weidong and Chen Fang preparing to check on the renovations at the Imperial Cuisine restaurant.

Ye Qiu said, “Mom and Dad, we’re going to buy a house.”

“Buy a house?”

“That’s right.”

Ye Qiu knew that the money would come soon.

When it did, they could pay in full and buy the house directly.

Previously, they had looked at Bihai Lantian, Peach Blossom Source, Zijin Mountain Villa, Ningyuan Villa, and other luxurious residential areas.

Now Ye Qiu had decided to pick one from them to buy.

“Where are you planning to buy?”

Ye Weidong asked.

“Haven’t you thought it over these days?”

Ye Qiu asked.

Ye Qiu had intentionally let Ye Weidong and the others think it over these days.

In Ye Qiu’s view, though, these communities were almost the same.

With that billion and those tens of millions, totaling over 140 million, they could buy wherever they wanted.

Ye Qiu first called Cai Yong, asking him to have two subordinates bring a BMW over, and then went to pick up Liu Lingxiu.

After just having breakfast, Liu Lingxiu’s parents had gone to work at the factory.

She didn’t expect Ye Qiu to come over so quickly.

“Are we going to look at houses today?”

“Not just look, but buy.”

Ye Qiu said.

Riding an electric bike with Liu Lingxiu back to the old residential area, Ye Qiu’s phone rang.

He saw it was a bank message indicating that a billion yuan had been deposited into his account.

When the two of them reached the upstairs, they didn’t wait long before they saw Cai Yong’s two subordinates arriving in a BMW.

Ye Qiu, Ye Xue, Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and Liu Lingxiu got into the two BMWs.

Ye Qiu then called Li Qianqian.

“Qianqian, where are you?”

“I’m at the library.”

“Drive to Peach Blossom Source.

I plan to buy a house there.”

Li Qianqian was very surprised, thinking Ye Qiu would look around a few more days before deciding to buy a house.

She didn’t expect him to decide so quickly.

Of course, Peach Blossom Source was similar to the luxurious community she lived in, and she liked it too.

After the call, Li Qianqian returned to the girls’ dormitory, did a quick touch-up, and then drove her Beetle to Peach Blossom Source residential area.

When she arrived at the sales hall’s parking lot, she waited about twenty minutes before seeing Ye Qiu and the others arrive.

Earlier, Luo Hui had received Ye Qiu’s call.

Knowing that Ye Qiu had decided to buy a house in Peach Blossom Source, he was naturally very pleased.

Seeing Ye Qiu and the others coming, he quickly came out to greet and lead them in.

“Dr.

Ye, if you’re interested in a mortgage, I can contact the bank right now.”

Buying a new house was much easier than buying a second-hand one.

Once the procedures like the down payment were complete, the bank could quickly approve the mortgage.

However, Ye Qiu said, “Manager Luo, there’s no need.

Mortgages are too much hassle.

I’m planning to pay in full.”
