Chapter 127: Li Yan Warned Chu Luo: “Don’t Cause Trouble!”

Li Yan glanced into her eyes and crossed his long leg over the motorcycle. “No.” He then said, “Come up.”

Chu Luo muttered, “Petty.”

However, she still walked up behind him and sat on the motorcycle.

“Sit properly.”

Before Chu Luo could react, the motorcycle had already sped off.

She quickly grabbed the ends of Li Yan’s clothes.

There weren’t many cars in XX City at night. The motorcycle drove along the streets smoothly.

Chu Luo had forgotten to tie her hair up earlier and the wind was now whipping it around her face. She couldn’t stand it anymore and pressed her head against Li Yan’s back.

At this moment, the motorcycle encountered a speed b.u.mp. Amid the b.u.mpy ride, she pressed against his back.

She wanted to straighten up but immediately heard Li Yan’s warning. “Don’t move. If you do, both of us will fall.”

Chu Luo had never been on a motorcycle before. Hearing his words, she stopped moving.

On the motorcycle, it took them half an hour to reach Silicon Valley, which was filled with high-tech industries.

Chu Luo looked at the world-famous high-tech companies they’re pa.s.sing by and suddenly felt a little excited.

The motorcycle finally stopped outside a building with an entire wall of television screens.

The television screens weren’t showing advertis.e.m.e.nts but various statistics.

Chu Luo alighted and tucked her hair behind her ear. She looked up at the rapidly scrolling data and asked Li Yan, “What are these?”

“The stock market.”

Although Chu Luo didn’t know what it was, she subconsciously felt that it must be something incredible. She blinked her big, confused eyes and looked at him.

Li Yan raised his hand to take the cap from her hand that she couldn’t wear while on the motorcycle (because the wind would have blown it off). He put it on her head and grabbed her wrist before walking inside.

“Hey, you…”

“If you want to know what it is, go in and take a look.”

Li Yan was tall and had wide strides. He didn’t give Chu Luo a chance to retract her hand at all. The two of them quickly walked into the hall.

It was already past ten at night, but the hall was still packed.

These people were all looking at the large display screen opposite the entrance. On it was also the movements of the stock market, but it was very detailed.

“Those who enter here can get rich overnight or go bankrupt overnight,” Li Yan said as he pulled Chu Luo towards the building.

Chu Luo asked, “Is this also a form of gambling?”

“Sort of. But the amounts here are even greater.”

“How great?”

“One billion, ten billion, one hundred billion.”

“…”

Even though Chu Luo didn’t have much of an understanding of money, the numbers Li Yan had mentioned still surprised her.

Li Yan tilted his head to look at her and continued, “The gambling here is equivalent to betting on an international company. As long as you have the means and ability, you can determine the direction of the stock market.”

“So you came here to control the stock market?”

Li Yan gave her a look of approval.

The two of them walked to the second floor and actually had to take the elevator.

The elevator didn’t stop until it reached the top floor.

This floor was very quiet, unlike the floors below where the hall was, where everyone was together. On this floor, there were rooms one after another. It was so quiet that when the two of them walked on the floor, it was filled with the echoes of footsteps.

Chu Luo observed for a while. The rooms here all had fingerprint and eye-scanning door locks. If one wanted to enter, they would have to use these two items.

The two of them stopped outside a room and Li Yan unlocked the door.

The moment she walked in, Chu Luo was shocked by the scene before her.

The four walls were filled with all kinds of rapidly rolling data and line graphs. This room was very big, but there was only a very large circular work table in the middle. On the work table, there was only a desktop and a laptop.

“Here…” Chu Luo pointed at the surrounding data. “Is this the data of the entire Blazing Glory Corporation?”

Li Yan let go of her hand and walked to the middle of the room to sit.

“No.”

Chu Luo followed him. “What is that, then?”

“The entire stock market trends of the large corporations in the US.”

Chu Luo looked at him in surprise.

Li Yan didn’t say anything else. He turned on his computer and quickly started typing on the keyboard.

Chu Luo stood beside him and watched his fingers move continuously. She was still very curious and said, “Li Yan, tell me what the stock market is.”

Li Yan glanced at her and quickly talked about the stock market. “The stock market has these various metrics: the highest daily price, the lowest daily price, the adjustment, the daily transaction volume, the number of transactions each day, the number of openings, the rise and fall…”

Li Yan spoke quickly. What others might take half a day to say, he finished saying in ten minutes.

He didn’t think that Chu Luo would understand much. After saying that, he said, “There’s another door on the right side of the door. The pantry is inside, and the bathroom is on the left.”

Chu Luo quickly digested what he had just said, and her mind worked quickly. When she heard him say this, she was stunned for two seconds before nodding and turning to walk over.

The pantry wasn’t very big. There was only one window inside. If you wanted something, you could order it on the control panel beside the window. In less than two minutes, everything would be served.

Chu Luo quickly looked at what was on it and quickly ordered. As she waited for these items, she rubbed her chin and muttered:

“If I can earn billions here tonight, I won’t have to borrow his money.”

At the thought of this, the corners of her lips curled up as an idea popped into her mind.

The food she ordered was quickly served. Chu Luo also ordered a pot of tea for Li Yan.

She carried it out on a tray.

Chu Luo realized that the data on the walls in the room was different from earlier.

She carried the tray to Li Yan’s side and placed the pot of tea beside him. “I ordered a pot of tea for you.”

Li Yan’s originally tense jawline suddenly relaxed. He nodded at her and pointed at the laptop. “If you’re bored, you can play games.”

Chu Luo carried her flower tea and snacks to the other side of the room and sat down. She turned on her laptop and didn’t log in to the game. Instead, she quickly searched for information regarding the stock market and stock prices. She also looked at the market trends and transaction rates in recent years.

After understanding all of this, her thoughts became more active. She thought about hacking into the computers in this building to take a look.

Her first goal was to hack into Li Yan’s computer, but as soon as she did that, Li Yan tapped his fingers on the desk and warned her, “Don’t cause trouble.”

Then, he continued, “I’ll transfer you 100 million yuan. You can play however you want tonight, but don’t disturb me.”

Chu Luo wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction. “I’m not a child. Are you brus.h.i.+ng me off like I’m a child?”

“You don’t want it?”

“I do.”

Unprincipled, Chu Luo sneered at him and raised a hand to promise him, “I promise not to hack into your computer.”

Two seconds later, Li Yan retracted his gaze from her face and quickly typed a few words on the keyboard. “The security measures in this building are world-cla.s.s. If you want to play, hide your IP address well. If you trip the security alarm, or if anything else happens, I won’t save you.”

“Who wants you to save me?” Chu Luo quickly typed on the keyboard. “I’ll return your 100 million yuan to you after tonight. Also, I don’t intend to borrow money from you anymore.”

Li Yan was silent for a few seconds before saying perfunctorily, “Ambitious.” Then, he continued doing his work.

Chu Luo snorted at him and continued programming.

She spent nearly two hours programming a super-hidden wall, then she started hacking the computers in the building.

The stock-market manipulation building in Silicon Valley was different from the typical securities trading market.

This was the stock market trading building of all the large international companies in the US. Normal people could not enter at all.

There was no such thing as a night off here. Every company was monitored by a professional, 24 hours a day.

It could be said that a single fluctuation here would shake the entire economy of the US.

Tonight, the big shots of the entire US economy were destined to not be able to sleep.

At two in the morning, a voice suddenly sounded from a VIP room in the building.

“Everyone, look. What’s going on with the Blazing Glory Corporation? Their share price is falling drastically!”

“Tsk… who’s so suicidal as to dare to fight the Blazing Glory Corporation in the stock market?”

“This force is so powerful. I’m guessing that besides the people up there, no other company can touch Blazing Glory at all.”

“The people up there? Who would deal with Blazing Glory so fiercely? Or did Blazing Glory offend someone up there?”

“We have to report this matter to the board of directors immediately. Hopefully, this war doesn’t affect our company.”

Soon, everyone in the building called their board of directors to report this matter.

Regardless of where the board of directors were, and regardless of what they were doing at this time, they immediately held a shareholder video conference.

Some people decided to watch the fire from the sh.o.r.e while others prepared themselves.

In any case, all the companies were on high alert.

3:00 AM.

Blazing Glory’s share price, which had been suppressed, suddenly launched a counterattack at lightning speed, beating that force until it couldn’t retaliate.

Just as the group of people watching from the sidelines was seeing the drastic movements of Blazing Glory’s share price on the US stock market, a force so small that it could be ignored suddenly extended its hand towards the two large factions.

This force didn’t attract much attention at first. When that small force moved a little, a hole suddenly appeared in the billions of funds that the other party had invested.

This breach opened the door for Blazing Glory Corporation to invade the other party’s forces. In less than half an hour, they swallowed up all the forces that wanted to suppress Blazing Glory.

“Tsk…”

The entire stock market building and the group of big shots watching from the sidelines all gasped heavily.

“As expected of Blazing Glory, to be able to catch that faction off guard in such a short time.”

“So, no matter whom you offend, you can’t offend Blazing Glory. Maybe Li Yan will personally take charge tonight. No one knows just how capable Li Yan is.”

“Definitely. Other than Li Yan, who else can force their opponent to this extent?”

“I think the person who wanted to suppress Blazing Glory must be spitting blood from anger.”

“Definitely. Ten billion isn’t a small sum.”

On the other side.

Bam!

The sound of a coffee cup slamming upon the ground rang out.

In the study room of Prince Arlan’s house, Arlan smashed the computer in front of him in exasperation. Not yet done venting his anger, he slammed the desk in front of him again.

His subordinates were so frightened that they stood at the side and held their breaths.

“F*ck! That Li fellow actually swallowed up all my ten billion. d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it!”

After saying that, he kicked the desk that had been flipped over.

The subordinates were so shocked that their bodies trembled.

Arlan pointed at them with red eyes. “Are you all pigs? I told you to catch Blazing Glory off guard. Can someone tell me why they crushed you people in just a few hours?”

“Prince Arlan.” Someone carefully stood up and said, “The person who fought with us is too powerful. Moreover, halfway through…”

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear how powerful the other party is!”

When Arlan roared, the person shrunk his neck in fear. He didn’t dare to tell him that a hacker had interrupted midway to cause trouble.

Arlan was so angry that his chest hurt. At that moment, his phone, which had fallen to the ground, suddenly rang.

A subordinate quickly picked it up and handed it to him.

Arlan swiped his phone and immediately asked, “Did you catch Li Yan?”

It was unknown what the other party said, but Arlan smashed the phone to the ground.

His phone broke into pieces.

“Good-for-nothings! All good-for-nothings!”

Arran was about to flare up again when there was a knock on the door.

The butler pushed open the door and told him carefully and anxiously, “Prince Arlan, the Earl called just now and asked you to return to your house immediately.”

Arland’s face darkened. He quickly went around the desk and walked out of the door.

The people who stayed behind were extremely perturbed and didn’t know how to end this.
