The trader didn’t dare to look back, nor did he dare to say another word. He coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. The mysterious man, however, didn’t bother with him further, continuing to sit there, waiting for news. After Mr. Ouyang and the others decided to tell Chu Ge about the situation, they called him. At this moment, Chu Ge had already returned to the Gambling Stone Field, sitting at the front desk, watching the latest news developments. Recently, many events have been occurring in the Capital City; he needed to sort them out and find a clear path. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Meanwhile, Lin Dong’s curiosity was piqued again, pestering Long Ang incessantly, asking what happened. Actually, Long Ang wasn’t very clear on the specifics; when he chased westward, he saw Chu Ge and them returning shortly after. As for what happened, he didn’t ask much, but seeing Chu Ge’s complexion wasn’t good, it must have been after a major battle. "Long Ang, you mean the Nangong Family was attacked?" Lin Dong looked at Long Ang in shock. Long Ang nodded; that’s all he knew. "Why?" Lin Dong asked again. Why did the Black Witch Sect attack the Nangong Family? He always thought it was due to issues between Ancient Martial Arts sects. Long Ang shook his head. In recent days, he also understood Lin Dong’s inquisitive nature, so he only spoke according to what he knew. Now, he only knew that the Black Witch Sect ambushed the Nangong Family, but as to why, he didn’t know. Lin Dong pouted, glancing back at Chu Ge, and then asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Chu suffer a loss at the Black Widow’s place?" Long Ang was stunned, then shook his head, "I really don’t know if he suffered a loss, because I didn’t see it." "..." Lin Dong looked at Long Ang speechlessly. He didn’t remember that the person sitting opposite him was once the leader of the Dragon Group; he completely regarded Long Ang as an ordinary person, complaining speechlessly, "What was the point of your trip?" Really didn’t find out any information! Long Ang was speechless; if not for helping Gongsun Lihan with gambling stone, perhaps going would have made sense. Chu Ge didn’t know what they were discussing; he was focused on reading the newspaper. Suddenly, the phone rang; it was Jian Chunqiu calling. Chu Ge was taken aback; they had just parted ways at the Gambling Stone Field entrance, and Jian Chunqiu drove to talk with people from other Sects. Now calling, could something have happened? With doubt in his heart, he answered, "Uncle Jian, what’s up?" "Something happened in Shanghai," Jian Chunqiu said. "Zhao Wuji just called me, saying there’s been a hacker attack on the Tianrui Bank’s system, and now half of Shanghai’s banking systems are paralyzed." "What?" Chu Ge was shocked. The security system of Tianrui Bank was recognized worldwide, yet it was hacked, even paralyzed—this surprised him greatly. "What exactly happened?" "Recently, there have been sudden changes in Shanghai’s finance, affecting even the Four Great Families’ economies." Chu Ge furrowed his brow, recalling Mu Bingtong working late into the night a few days ago. Could something have happened then? "You just said, the Four Great Families are also affected; how severe is it?" Chu Ge inquired, since the Four Great Families were affected, the crisis must be significant, but with the current chaos in the Capital City, he truly didn’t know what to do. Jian Chunqiu nodded, generally describing the situation in Shanghai to Chu Ge; all of this was from what Chu Zhao Wuji told him. How severe it was, he wasn’t too sure. The most direct method was to return to Shanghai to take a look, but now with the Capital City’s situation volatile, if they left, people would definitely take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Chu Ge pondered for a moment, then nodded. After hanging up the phone, he thought about calling Mu Bingtong. But before he could make the call, Mr. Ouyang’s phone call came in. "Mr. Chu, I’m really sorry for disturbing you so abruptly." Mr. Ouyang said politely. Chu Ge had already guessed why he was calling. "There’s no need for formalities; I’m already aware of the situation in Shanghai. What do you plan to do?" Chu Ge’s straightforwardness left Mr. Ouyang momentarily speechless; everything he had prepared to say was stuck in his throat. Those were the words he’d carefully organized, all vanished with one sentence from Chu Ge. "Mr. Chu, the entire economy of Shanghai is paralyzed; if we don’t find a solution, bankruptcy is inevitable." Mr. Ouyang sighed; he understood Chu Ge’s nature. He wasn’t one to beat around the bush, so he had no choice but to make a straightforward plea, "I know it’s impolite to say, but please, Mr. Chu, you must save us." Chu Ge asked puzzledly, "How can I save you?" "Well... only the injection of foreign capital to save our stock market can turn things around now." "Exactly. Even if the opposition is a conglomerate with a very powerful background, for it to bring Shanghai to a standstill must have used all its strength. As long as we can bring in foreign funds and buy time, we can recover." "I understand, you want me to talk to Old Master Nangong, ask them to help?" Mr. Ouyang chuckled, "Mr. Chu is a smart man; I just don’t know if Mr. Chu can..." "I understand, leave it to me. By the way, you Four Great Families have suffered losses, how are the other corporations faring?" Mr. Ouyang knew Chu Ge was asking about Jinxiu Group, but currently, he had no energy to care about them. "Our Four Great Families have been threatened; naturally, corporations smaller than us mustn’t be in a much better state." Chu Ge pondered for a moment, thinking that even if Mu Bingtong encountered difficulties, she wouldn’t actively ask for his help. Slightly disappointed, but soon, he returned to normal. "I understand, hold on a bit, I’ll go find Old Master Nangong." After saying this, Chu Ge hung up the phone. The storm in the Capital City hadn’t subsided yet, and now a fierce smoke rose in Shanghai. It was uncertain whether the mastermind behind these events was the same person.
