Chapter 632: Chapter 640

Chapter 640 You Are So Smart Nan Chen went straight to the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation after leaving the villa in Red Maple City.

He had to stay up that night since the news of Ouyang Duo’s arrest had reached the other end of the Pandera Ocean. The share price of the overseas branch office of Sunshine Corporation would definitely plummet significantly.

Nan Chen would lead his overseas team to make their move on the stock market one step at a time instead of acting recklessly.

Although Nanshi Corporation had businesses related to finance, they were mostly an entity. They seldom carry out such large-scale capital operations to gain more profits.

Nan Chen only decided to sell Sunshine Corporation short because he wanted to fight fire with fire.

As usual, before he started working, he had to video call his two children.

Erbao was naturally the one closest to the camera, and she looked much better.

“Daddy—” She started giggling before she said anything.

Nan Chen found it odd. “Darling, why are you laughing?”

“I’m laughing because I’m happy,” Erbao said.

“Why are you happy? Are you happy because you can see me?” Nan Chen teased.

“You’re so smart, Daddy. I can’t believe you guessed that.” Then she started laughing again.

At that moment, Dabao moved closer to the camera so that Nan Chen could see him. “Daddy, Erbao has been naughty. She ate two drumsticks tonight, and one was mine! She’s been burping non-stop since just now. She’s laughing because she doesn’t want you to know she’s burping.”

“I only ate a little more because I was hungry… Daddy, isn’t it a good thing for me to eat more and be healthy?” Erbao countered.

“Erbao, you’ve just recovered not too long ago. You shouldn’t eat too much. It’s hard on your stomach.

Make sure not to overeat next time, okay?” Nan Chen reminded.

“Okay, Daddy. I’ll remember that. Daddy, I just got a new best friend! I’ll introduce her to you when you’re here,” Erbao said.

“Oh? What is she like?” Nan Chen asked while smiling.

“She’s a beautiful girl like me, but I’m a little more graceful than she is.”

Nan Chen smiled. My darling daughter is too conceited. She really can’t help complimenting herself when she’s complimenting others.

“So, are you planning to invite her to our house?” he asked.

“I did. We’ll have a party tomorrow. Will you be here, Daddy?”

“I still have some stuff to tend to, so I can’t make it tomorrow. But I promise you that once I’ve finished what I’m doing, I’ll go and see you immediately.”

“Okay, Daddy. I’ll wait for you. Do you want to talk to Mommy?”

“Sure.”

Ning Ran appeared on his screen. She was drying her hair with a towel, looking beautiful as always.

“Remember to blow-dry your hair after you shower; otherwise, you’ll get sick,” Nan Chen urged.

“All right, all right. I was just about to get my hairdryer when you said you wanted to talk to me. How’s your leg? Does it still hurt?” Ning Ran asked.

“It’s not that bad anymore. Are you still having nightmares?”

“Yeah. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night every night. I guess it’ll take some time for it to pass.”

“Remember to drink some hot milk before you sleep. It helps you to sleep better. Get some rest for the next two days. Stay home. Don’t go to work. If the production team asks you anything, just tell them you’re not feeling very well and you need to rest for a while.”

“All right. Oh, have you settled everything over there?”

“More or less. Ouyang Duo has been arrested.”

“I saw that on the internet. What about the other one?”

“Who?”

Ning Ran became anxious. “Ouyang Qing. Don’t tell me you let her go for old times’ sake. How could you when Erbao almost lost her life because of that woman?”

“It’s not on the internet, but she was arrested too, along with Feng Jialing, at the airport. Ouyang Qi even begged me to let them go and said he would die to atone for his sins, but I didn’t say yes. I only agreed to let go of Feng Jialing. As for Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Duo, I’ll never forgive them.”

“Really?” Ning Ran looked doubtful.

“You don’t believe me?” Nan Chen was slightly unhappy about it.

“Of course, I believe you. I’m sure you won’t let Ouyang Duo go, but I’m not so sure about Ouyang Qing since you two were an—”

“Shh! Can you watch what you’re saying when you’re in front of the kids?” Nan Chen was mad.

“I didn’t say anything. Besides, the kids know everything. They remember how close you and Ouyang Qing were. If I really have to say it, they remember it more clearly than I do,” Ning Ran responded.

“Hurry up and dry your hair. Ouyang Qing will definitely get punished by the law. I got to go to work now.”

“Okay. Go on. Bye.”

With that, Ning Ran ended the call. Nan Chen looked at the time. There were still thirty minutes before the next trading session, so he went to pour himself a cup of coffee.

As he had expected, the moment the trading session started, the shares of Sunshine Corporation dropped drastically. It was terribly shocking.

If the stock market was in the country instead of abroad, the drop would’ve hit the limit down a long time ago.

Nan Chen remained calm as he instructed his team to withdraw the shares in batches through voice messages.

The withdrawal of shares was quite successful because of the smooth takeovers.

Besides, that mysterious person’s team was just like a hungry beast, as they bought all of Nan Chen’s stocks that he sold.

The operation was basically completed by dawn.

Leaving aside the transaction costs and other costs, the short-selling made around two billion.

Meanwhile, the stock prices of Sunshine Corporation continued to drop.

Based on the current trend, if the drop in stock price didn’t stop, it would become junk stock.

Ouyang Qi’s face popped up in Nan Chen’s mind. I wonder if the Nine-Fingered Prince has the ability to save his family’s company. What else is he good at other than fooling around with girls?

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. Who would call me at this hour?

It was Chai Hua. Nan Chen instantly panicked. It’s the middle of the night. There must be an emergency for him to call me right now!

“Mr. Chai?”

“Master Chen, am I interrupting your sleep?”

Nan Chen was slightly relieved when Chai Hua’s voice didn’t sound urgent.

“I’m keeping an eye on the stock market, so I’m still awake. What is it, Mr. Chai?”

“The police told me that Ouyang Duo tried to take his own life, so he has been sent to the hospital for emergency rescue. Then, a fire in the hospital caused the power to go out. Ouyang Duo escaped during the chaos,” Chai Hua replied.

Nan Chen wasn’t surprised at all. When he heard that Ouyang Duo had tried to take his own life, he knew Ouyang Duo was trying to escape.

“Can the police find him and catch him again?”

“The police are still looking into it. They still haven’t gotten any leads at the moment.”

Nan Chen was very calm. “Okay. I understand.”

“Mr. Nan is asleep now, so I didn’t wake him up. That’s why I called you. Master Chen, is there anything we should do?” Chai Hua asked.

“No. We don’t have to do anything. Let the police handle this.”

“Okay. Have a good rest, Master Chen. Bye.”

“Bye, Mr. Chai. Rest well too. Don’t worry about this.”

“All right.”

Nan Chen ended the call and wheeled himself toward the window as he looked at the city.

At that time, it was full of city lights.

Nan Chen wasn’t afraid of Ouyang Duo’s comeback since there would be others like Ouyang Duo too.

He knew he’d face new challenges and attacks in his position.
