10:30 AM.

Stella's stock price soared by 6% that day!

It had only been an hour since the market opened.

Yet the turnover rate and trading volume on the market indicated that countless people were still rushing into Stella.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh.

This really felt like joining the army in '49.

It echoed the saying—when there was meat to eat, he missed it; but when the knife came down, he got every cut!

Seeing Ye Chen still in the study, Chen Yinuo, who had just put Ye Youyou to sleep, didn't disturb him and quietly returned to their room.

Little did she know, her husband was waiting to reel in the net—a net that had gained billions in just four days!

11:00 AM.

Stella's daily surge hit 13%!

Turnover and trading volume continued to reflect sheer madness!

At midnight, Stella's stock skyrocketed to a 20% increase!

On the other end, Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng were nervously sweating, their mouths dry.

They kept checking their phones, but Ye Chen's call never came.

"Changfeng, do you think Stella might set a record with a 30% daily increase? It's already up 20%, matching yesterday's full-day gain, but Ye still hasn't called?" Zhang Jingshan's head buzzed.

At this point, Stella's real-time stock price had reached $1,162.

Compared to the $650 purchase price, it had already jumped by 78%!

In other words, the $200 million they invested had turned into a profit of over $150 million in just four days!

So it wasn't surprising that Zhang Jingshan was anxious—anyone would be.

"30% seems unlikely! There are still four hours left until the market closes. Ye Chen said he'd cash out tonight, meaning he expects the price to drop later. I doubt it'll hit 30%," Li Changfeng replied nervously.

"Initially, I thought a 40-50% increase in ten days would be enough. But in just four days, we're already near 80%! I swear, I'm going to worship Ye—literally!" Zhang Jingshan shook his head.

"Keep an eye on your phone. Don't let any glitches block Ye's call!" Li Changfeng snapped, ignoring Zhang's ramblings.

"Even if mine breaks, you still have yours. Why are you more nervous than I am?"

Li Changfeng: ...

In the study at Shan Shui Jian, Ye Chen watched Stella's stock price continue to climb past 20%, but his expression remained calm.

His eyes never wavered from the live price chart.

12:37 AM.

Stella's stock soared to a 24% daily increase, reaching $1,201.6 per share.

At that moment, Ye Chen dialed Zhang Jingshan's number.

He simultaneously began selling off all his shares.

"Ye!" Zhang Jingshan answered excitedly.

"Sell."

One word.

Zhang Jingshan felt adrenaline flood his system—this was it!

They had been prepared for this moment.

In seconds, Zhang and Li swiftly sold off their stocks.

With the constant flow of capital and retail investors pouring in, every single one of Ye Chen's $1.3 billion worth of stocks, along with Zhang and Li's $740 million, was snapped up instantly.

Exhaling deeply, Ye Chen watched as over 100,000 shares sold out.

Smiling, he said over the phone, "Goodnight."

Then he transferred the proceeds from his brokerage account to a domestic state-owned bank, shut his computer, and left the study.

What happened to Stella's stock afterward no longer concerned him.

But while Ye Chen moved on, Zhang and Li couldn't look away.

Five minutes after they sold, Stella's stock began to fall.

The drop seemed minor, but by market close, the daily increase had shrunk from 24% to 13.9%.

Zhang and Li sat dumbfounded in front of their computers.

More than anything, they were awed by Ye Chen's timing.

"How did Ye predict it so accurately? The stock hadn't dropped for days. Yet less than a minute after we sold, it started falling. This... this is insane."

Even Li Changfeng, usually composed, couldn't stop his face from trembling.

Compared to Ye Chen's impeccable timing, even Buffett would pale in comparison.

"This is divine. I'm starting to think Ye might actually be a prophet—or maybe one of those reborn novel protagonists!" Zhang Jingshan said, half-joking but wholly serious.

"Even if he was a reborn protagonist, this level of precision is unmatched," Li Changfeng replied, shaking his head.

"What if he was reborn with a system? Isn't that how novels go?"

"Shut up! You've been reading too many novels." Li Changfeng snapped back.

"Regardless, we just made over a billion following Ye again. This kind of debt can't ever be repaid."

"Forget repaying him. When Ye needs us, we'll put everything on the line for him," Zhang Jingshan said without hesitation.

Changing the subject, Zhang asked, "By the way, what do you think about the real estate project Jianwei mentioned at lunch? Why didn't Ye talk to us directly?"

"That's between Ye and Jianwei. But since Jianwei brought it up, Ye probably mentioned us during their talks. Otherwise, the Zhao family wouldn't need us involved. We're small players in this game," Li Changfeng analyzed.

"True. So how much are you investing?"

"5%. That's my limit. I wouldn't dare ask for more. Ye's the biggest shareholder, followed by Jianwei. We're just here to sip the soup, not take the whole pot."

"Same. I'm happy with 5%."

The next morning at Shan Shui Jian, Ye Chen woke naturally, not at all excited by the $600 million he made in four days.

After showering, he quietly got into bed, careful not to wake his wife.

Grabbing his phone, he noticed a new WeChat notification.

But it wasn't a message.

It was a friend request.

Upon opening it, he froze.
