A personal bank account with over 20 billion in funds.

What is the concept of this?

China is indeed not lacking in wealthy individuals.

But to have 20 billion lying in a bank account...

It's absolutely rare, extremely rare.

And Ye Chen, six months ago... he was still living at the very bottom of society, unable to afford rent, unable to afford his daughter's tuition, even unable to afford food.

Calling him an ant would be an exaggeration.

Yet, this person from the bottom of society...

In just a few months...

Holds more than 20 billion in liquid assets?

Does that make sense?

Even if his company, Yi Ren Ru Xue, is likely to become a money-printing machine in the future, and he is likely to use it to reach the top of the wealth pyramid.

But...

That's in the future!

The current Yi Ren Ru Xue only sells a few tens of thousands of bottles a day, with a total sales of just over 20 million a day. It's simply not enough for him to have this kind of liquid assets!

"Damn it, what are you all doing!" The director angrily reprimanded. "His account now has more than 20 billion, which means it must have been transferred in huge amounts before. You... you didn't react at all? The detection system didn't react at all?!"

Before the anti-money laundering office staff could speak,

The director continued, "What have you found about the source of his funds?"

"Director, the detection system did give abnormal alerts before, but... before we could report to you, Deputy Director Su suddenly inquired about this matter, and then told us not to escalate it, saying that the source of the funds in Ye Chen's account was legal and compliant! So... so we didn't report to you. Also... the previous sources of funds in Ye Chen's account were not a big problem, there were traces to follow. Hengda Group transferred several hundred million to his account once, and he also made several hundred million in the stock market in a short period. We had already secretly investigated in private, and there were no problems..."

A woman in her thirties with her hair tied up, wearing a uniform, continued, "However, more than half a month ago, the 1 billion in his account was suddenly transferred out. A few days later, more than 21.5 billion in total was transferred into his account. At that time, the detection system detected this anomaly. Because the amount was too huge, just as we were about to launch an investigation, Deputy Director Su stopped us, so..."

She didn't finish.

But the meaning was very clear.

The second-in-command spoke, and they could only bite the bullet and give up, and didn't even dare to report the matter.

"Deputy Director Su, he... he actually stopped you from investigating?" The director was stunned in disbelief, his mind blank.

Because this undoubtedly proved their guilt.

But what he couldn't accept and couldn't believe was, given Deputy Director Su's style and status, how could he do such a thing?

After all, apart from his position as deputy director,

He is also the son-in-law of the Li family!

So, it's absolutely impossible!

However.

Just then.

The phone on the desk rang.

The director shuddered.

He quickly stopped talking and picked up the phone.

"Hello!"

"This is Su Guohua!"

"Deputy Director Su!" The director subconsciously said.

"Are you investigating the source of funds in Ye Chen's bank account? Do you suspect that his funds are of unknown origin and involve serious money laundering?" Deputy Director Su asked sternly.

"Deputy Director Su, this..." The director stammered complexly.

"You can turn on call recording and record what I'm about to say. After all, as the director of the anti-money laundering office, this behavior is not excessive! What I want to say is, stop the investigation of Ye Chen's account funds, don't make a big fuss or even cause the details to leak out. The funds in his account are absolutely legal and compliant!" Deputy Director Su said.

"Deputy Director Su, you know... this makes it difficult for me to explain! It's already a big deal, and we've received countless reports!" The director gritted his teeth.

Deputy Director Su on the other end of the phone paused.

Then he said, "The day his funds were transferred out was the day before Stella's stock plummeted. The huge transfer of funds into his account was after Stella's stock plummeted!"

Hearing this.

In an instant.

The director's eyes widened.

He suddenly remembered the previous rumors.

Rumor has it that a Chinese trader threw out several hundred million US dollars to short Stella.

This matter was just limited to rumors before, and ultimately did not receive any confirmation.

But now, with Deputy Director Su Guohua's words,

The director was dumbfounded!

The 1 billion in Ye Chen's account was transferred out the day before Stella's stock price plummeted?

And the more than 20 billion transferred into his account was after Stella's stock price plummeted?

Wait...

After Stella's stock price plummeted, there were rumors that a Chinese trader made a fortune by shorting with 50x leverage.

By calculation, from the beginning to the end of Stella's stock price plunge, applying 50x leverage, it's exactly 2150%!

Ye Chen transferred out 1 billion before Stella's stock price plummeted, and received 21.5 billion after Stella's stock price plummeted.

This, this exactly matches?

In other words, the huge sum in Ye Chen's account was earned by shorting Stella's stock?

The rumored Chinese trader is Ye Chen?

"If you are skeptical of what I said, then you can start an investigation, a thorough investigation! But one thing, try not to let others intervene, so as not to leak the actual situation and cause the matter of Ye Chen being the Chinese trader who shorted Stella's stock to spread! That would probably cause some unnecessary trouble!"

While the director was in disbelief and shock,

Su Guohua said again seriously on the other end.

"Okay, Deputy Director Su, I understand!" The director said blankly.

"Okay!"

The beeping sound rang.

The director then put down the phone receiver.

But still felt like it was an Arabian Nights tale!

The widely spread and well-founded rumor about a Chinese trader shorting Stella's stock with 50x leverage was actually true?

And the person was not some stock market legend, but Ye Chen, who couldn't even afford food a few months ago?

This...

"Director?"

Looking at his boss's confused and complex look,

The middle-aged woman in uniform hesitated and asked.

She didn't know whether to hand over the stack of information about Ye Chen's account details.

"Show me the details of the funds in Ye Chen's account!" The director said, coming back to his senses.

"Okay, here you go!"

After receiving the information.

The director, based on the date of Stella's stock price plunge some time ago, skipped the front and back parts of the information, and quickly completed the screening based on the date.

After reading it, as expected...

The dates matched.

The funds also matched!

Huff...

Now, the director had to shake his head and smile bitterly.

Then he put down the account details.

Looking at the few subordinates, he said, "You can end the investigation!"

On the other side.

Ye Chen, who had transformed into a master chef, was still busy in the kitchen.

A rapid phone ring interrupted his cooking.

"Hello, what's wrong, Yi Nuo?"

"Old Ye, Secretary Yan's daughter, Yan Yuan, just called me and said that she and her husband would like to invite our family to dinner. What do you think about this?"

"Invite us to dinner? I've been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, and I'm almost done with the dishes!" Ye Chen said in surprise.

Chen Yi Nuo hesitated, "Then do you mean... tell them next time?"

Ye Chen thought for a while, refusing... it was definitely not appropriate.

If it were other people, a polite refusal would be fine.

But the other party was Yan Huaili's daughter and son-in-law, plus their warm and friendly attitude at the entrance of South China International School last time.

Ye Chen felt it was really not good to brush off their kind invitation.

He could only smile and say, "How about this, you ask them to come to our house. It just so happens that I bought too many ingredients today, I'll make a few more dishes and let them come over for a casual meal!"

After speaking, he added, "After all, I spent half a day working on it, and they are all things that you and Youyou like to eat. We can't just waste them!"

"Okay, I'll call her back and see what she says first!"
