In France, the "Liberty Herald" is a media that keeps up with the pace of the times. It has long laid out its Internet business, and the number of its followers on major social platforms has already exceeded the 20 - million mark.
One day, a blockbuster news suddenly appeared on its official website and various platforms.
In just one hour, the click - through rate skyrocketed like a rocket, exceeding several million.
The core content of the news was the public accusation of tax evasion by the Falco Company.
In the news, the financial details of the Falco Company over the past seven years were exposed one by one, and problems such as chaotic accounts and false declarations were laid bare.
As soon as the news spread, French netizens were instantly enraged.
"What is the French government doing? How could such a heinous act have gone unnoticed for so long?"
"Maybe they're busy dividing the spoils. These corrupt people!"
"They must be severely punished, fined until they're bankrupt!"
The relevant departments, upon receiving the news, immediately dispatched personnel to the Falco Company.
They detained all the company's senior executives on the spot, launched a comprehensive investigation, and decisively froze all the funds in the company's accounts.
The next day, the investigation results were quickly announced.
The tax - evasion behavior of the Falco Company was conclusive and the circumstances were serious. It was facing a sky - high fine that would be enough to bankrupt it.
The 30 billion that Huajin Company had just transferred was just a drop in the bucket compared to this huge hole.
After the Falco Company's scandal broke out, Huajin Investment Company, as its largest shareholder, was also affected.
Soon, Huajin Investment Company was exposed for misappropriating funds illegally, and the relevant departments quickly intervened in the investigation.
This news was like a blockbuster. The stock price of Huajin Investment Company plummeted like a flood breaking through a dyke.
When Yegor received this news, he was leisurely "taking a paid shit" in the toilet. This was an essential "leisure time" for him every day, and he would stay there for at least two or three hours.
"How could this be discovered? Who on earth leaked the information?" He was in the toilet, holding his mobile phone, and roaring furiously.
The collapse of the Falco Company directly made his elaborate plan to court Evelyn come to nothing.
The 30 - billion funds hadn't even had time to be used in the project before they went straight into the pockets of the French government.
Thirty billion! For Yegor, not picking up money on the street made him feel like he had lost out. When he saw a manure truck passing by on the road, he even wanted to go over and taste it. He felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't sleep if he didn't get an advantage.
The huge loss this time was like someone cutting his heart with a knife.
What was even more unacceptable to him was that Huajin Investment had been severely hit.
The stock price had been plummeting all the way, and the company was frantically pouring money to try to stabilize the situation.
Huajin Investment was one of the core enterprises under the Dragon Soul Organization, with a total asset of about 500 billion. But this stock - market avalanche had caused the company to lose at least nearly 100 billion.
"Dragon King, there's another situation to report to you. The main reason for this loss is that someone took the opportunity to short - sell us."
"The other party invested a total of 80 billion Chinese yuan. After the organization's investigation, this money was invested by the Vanlode Group and the Thomson family..." The voice of the subordinate on the other end of the phone came cautiously.
When Yegor heard about the Vanlode Group and the Thomson family, his face instantly turned livid.
Why did these two families do this?
Which link had gone wrong?
His plan should have been seamless.
Victor definitely wouldn't dare to betray him, and Evelyn should still be kept in the dark.
Could it be that this useless guy, Tony, had discovered something?
Him?
"Is my identity exposed?" Yegor asked in a cold voice.
"No, Dragon King, your identity is absolutely confidential!"
"Good. So what if it's a loss of 100 billion? After I take over the four major families, this money will come back tenfold, a hundredfold!" Yegor said viciously and then hung up the phone.
As long as his identity wasn't exposed, he still had a chance.
He had plenty of means to conquer a woman.
As for Tony, the money he had earned this time, Yegor would surely make him pay with his life in the future.
Immediately after that, Yegor took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to his subordinate: "You must dig out the handle of the Thomson family within half a month. I want to bring down the Thomson family completely!"
After sending the text message, he came out of the washroom and walked to the lawn downstairs.
His eyes swept around and quickly locked onto a half - meter - long snake.
He was quick - eyed and quick - handed, easily catching the snake, and then skillfully pulling out its teeth.
In this way, the snake lost its aggressiveness.
With a cold smile on his face, he walked towards Villa No. 8. Emily Rossi, the eldest daughter of the Rossi family, lived there.
In the past few days, he had been unable to find an opportunity to get close to Emily Rossi.
Since that was the case, he would create an opportunity himself.
After making sure there was no one around, he raised his hand and threw the snake into the second - floor window of the villa. Then he stood downstairs, quietly waiting for the perfect opportunity to "save the beauty in distress".
Creating an accident to draw closer to the other party and make the other party gradually fall in love with him was one of his most proficient means.
At the same time...
"Ding, the host has successfully passed a plot node. A reward of the Lunar Hotel, which has been transferred to the host's name."
Suddenly, the system's prompt sounded in Tony's ear as he was lying on the sofa at home, leisurely being a slacker.
He jumped up from the sofa as if he had been electrocuted.
"What? How did I pass the plot?" He looked confused. He had done nothing at home.
"System, what on earth is going on?" He silently asked the system in his heart.
"The host has successfully passed the plot of Chapter 88." The system's voice sounded again.
Tony thought for a moment and finally remembered the content of the plot in Chapter 88.
In this chapter, Dragon King Yegor's conspiracy succeeded, Evelyn fell into a trap, and the 50 - billion funds of the Vanlode Group were frozen.
Immediately after that, Victor began to seize power, and then Yegor came out to continue his woman - chasing drama.
"Understood." Tony smiled with relief.
After struggling hard and being extremely cautious for so long, he finally got the due reward.
In a great mood, he got up and tidied himself up, preparing to go and see his new reward.
The Lunar Hotel might sound ordinary, but it was well - known in Milan.
It was the highest level hotel in Milan and was a top - luxury hotel throughout Europe.
It was worth about 20 billion. Tony was really surprised that the system was so generous this time.
Although the Thomson family was already extremely wealthy, who would complain that their money is too much?
Of course, if the system could exchange this reward for something life - saving like ancient martial arts skills, that would be even more perfect.
Tony came to the garage and was about to pick a sports car to set off when his mobile phone rang suddenly.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from the company.
"What's the matter?"
"Master the 30 - billion investment transferred to the Vanlode Group a few days ago has been transferred back to the account, and there's an additional 15 - billion profit."
"What?" Tony immediately felt that something was wrong.
According to the original plot, this money shouldn't have been invested by Evelyn in the new - energy project and then frozen?
How could it not only be earned back but also have an additional 15 - billion profit?
Making money was certainly a good thing, but this was too unreasonable.
"Could the plot have changed again?" Tony quickly hung up the phone and dialed Evelyn's number.
"What's wrong, dear? Do you miss me?" Evelyn's soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
The moment Tony heard it, the photo of her in a bunny - girl costume instantly appeared in his mind. His face warmed up slightly, and after coughing dryly twice, he said, "What's the situation with the investment project we cooperated on last time?"
"Oh, I suddenly found that the company we were going to cooperate with was a bit off. After in - depth investigation, I found that someone was trying to scheme against us, the Vanlode family."
"So I used the money originally intended for investment to short - sell the other side and made a small profit. Next time there's such a good opportunity to make money, I'll definitely call you right away, mua~" Evelyn blew a kiss over the phone.
