Chapter 4004: Drawing the World Into the Game

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After finishing the conversation with Shen Shuyi, the family went out for dinner that evening.

After the meal, Lin Yi sent a message to Yan Ci, asking her to coordinate with Yue Sijing on the matter.

To the domestic public, this issue would not cause much of a stir, more of a spectacle to observe with curiosity.

Therefore, the main battlefield is abroad, and someone is needed to handle the operation.

Yan Ci is a suitable candidate, but she’s relatively isolated and needs to find more people here to act as instigators behind the scenes.

The next day, Lin Yi did not leave, intending to spend time with Liang Ruoxu and the children.

That evening, the matter concerning Jinshan Group was broadcasted as scheduled.

Yue Sijing divided the program into five episodes, creating a special report.

At first, Lin Yi thought doing five episodes was too long, but after watching the core content of each episode, he realized Yue Sijing had been conservative; ten episodes could have been done.

As expected, after the program aired, the global capital markets reacted instantly.

Lin Yi calculated the time; it was now 6 p.m., and in a few hours, the Beautiful Country’s capital market would be in turmoil.

This night, no one would sleep.

[Mission Accomplished: Rewarded with 200,000 Master level driving skills.]

[Job Completion Rate: 65%, Rewarded with E-level Dynamic Vision]

Huh?

Dynamic Vision?

This reward had never appeared before.

[Can enhance the host’s ability in dynamic capture]

After listening to the system’s explanation, Lin Yi discovered the power of this reward.

The movements of people passing by and even subtle expressions could be easily captured.

It seemed their moving state appeared slower in Lin Yi’s eyes.

Looked at this way, it might seem nothing.

But when facing others in combat, due to the enhanced dynamic capture ability, their movements naturally seemed slower, making it easier to respond.

Though it seemed unscrupulous, it always provided useful options during critical moments.

...

A day later, Jinshan Group’s stock fell by 6 points, evaporating tens of billions of dollars in an instant.

As the event continued to ferment, the external web became more and more lively.

Even many foreign journalists headed to Corea, wanting to report on the incident.

However, Beiren Prison and Yanchi Mental Hospital, despite having ties to the Cui family, were essentially under the official jurisdiction of Corea.

Now that such a scandal had been exposed, it instantly pushed them into the limelight.

Even their own citizens expressed strong opposition, with plans for organized protests.

And this was merely the beginning.

However, over at Jinshan Group, there seemed to be no strong reaction.

Only the PR department released a tweet saying Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory had no connection with them.

And such a nondescript article, like a pebble thrown into the sea, had no impact on Jinshan Group’s stock price, with its declining trend still unstoppable.

Such a reaction was somewhat beyond Lin Yi’s expectations.

It felt like giving up the struggle, but given Jinshan Group’s magnitude, it seemed unlikely they would easily resign to fate.

As for any countermeasures they might make afterward, it will be a wait-and-see situation.

Besides that, after the program aired, Liang Xianghe also took action.

Relevant news institutions were also relentlessly publicizing the matter, turning it into an international incident, further expanding the impact.

Lin Yi knew this certainly wasn’t the bait Liang Xianghe mentioned; he must have a next move planned.

And that was also what he couldn’t fathom; how Liang Xianghe would use what method to send out the fake Sheepskin Scroll.

Ring ring ring—

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Lee Yongjin.

"The move was too fierce this time; so much explosive material was revealed, not only is Jinshan Group about to be taken down by you, but even the officials may find it hard to handle."

"Jinshan Group has done so many things, I don’t believe they knew nothing; excessive wrongdoing leads to self-destruction. In Yan Country, this is called karma — since they participated, they must naturally bear the backlash."

"Things have already become a mess; even officials have started to get involved, but the public isn’t buying their explanations and apologies."

"After working so long, isn’t this the anticipated effect?"

Lee Yongjin on the other end of the line chuckled:

"Pleasure working together."

"Pleasure working together."

After hanging up the call, Lin Yi stretched lazily, preparing to pick up Liang Ruoxu from work.

It was rare to enjoy the peaceful life of ordinary people, an experience Lin Yi relished.

Upon reaching Liang Ruoxu’s workplace, just after parking the car, he received a call from Xiao Bing.

"Lin Bro, something happened at Wuzhe Mountain Laboratory; a group stormed in and stole many things; I suspect it’s likely Overseas Organizations trying to snatch the Sheepskin Scroll."

"It’s possible. With the boldness of the group, Kaijie Group has the highest probability."

"That’s also what I think; local official armed forces have already started apprehending the group, but whether they can catch them is another matter."

After pausing, Xiao Bing continued:

"Also, other small organizations seem to have acted at this time; Cui Xiaodong’s eldest son, Cui Mingzhe, was attacked at noon, but the bodyguard was timely, he narrowly escaped death."

"As things stand now, Cui Xiaodong and Cui Shengguo may not be safe either."

"Yes, they’ve realized if they don’t act now, they might never have the chance to touch the Sheepskin Scroll." Xiao Bing stated:

"I feel these people have become bloodthirsty; previously, they would still consider some things, now, these issues appear to have disappeared from their considerations; chaos has begun to emerge."

"Think of ways to add fuel to the fire, release some false information and rumors; if necessary, I’ll arrange Song Zhongtian to cooperate with you."

"Got it."

After hanging up Xiao Bing’s call, Lin Yi dialed Song Zhongtian, asking specifically about the situation there.

This further allowed Lin Yi to have a comprehensive understanding of Corea’s matter and understood why Jinshan Group hadn’t responded initially.

Now, Jinshan Group was already targeted by various organizations, and every core member had become their attack target.

Everyone was on edge, unable to manage the business at the group side.

If this keeps going, Jinshan Group’s stock will fall even more severely, making shorting them even more advantageous.

This time again, earnings would be overflowing.

So next, it’s down to seeing when the Beautiful Country will step in.

Lin Yi stretched his body.

This grand show, with each taking their turn on stage, his task is almost done; next is up to Liang Xianghe.
