CHAPTER 878: CHAPTER 878: RETURNING EVERYTHING WITH INTEREST (PART 9)

Bang!

Hit on a sore spot, Ou Chunhua flew into a rage and threw the phone.

She staggered a couple of steps, then collapsed onto the bed, seemingly unable to stand up again.

Her rapid breathing made her face show an ominous color.

Her gaze slowly moved, landing on the television screen in the room.

On TV, an announcement by a well-known international short-selling institution was being broadcasted, targeting certain stock market moves. The stock prices of many companies in the market plummeted in response.

After a slight frown, Ou Chunhua seemed to recall something.

The door thudded twice.

Her husband’s secretary inquired from outside, "Madam, what’s going on in your room?"

Perhaps the noise from throwing the phone earlier was too loud, directly reaching downstairs and alarming Ou Shihua. Ou Shihua therefore sent someone upstairs to inquire.

"It’s nothing," Ou Chunhua said, tidying up some hair that had fallen earlier, and added, "By the way, tell the master to pay attention to the latest news; someone intends to short the company."

"Yes—"

A glint flashed in Ou Chunhua’s eyes.

Gu Nuan noticed the commotion from downstairs.

Ou Yanan’s blue BMW, after passing through the big iron gate, stopped at the entrance of the villa.

Zhao Mengjin got out from the passenger seat.

Because of this, some people in the villa curiously stretched their necks to peek.

Zhao Mengqing heard her sister return and immediately crawled out of bed to lean on the window and look down.

She heard that her sister went on a blind date today, and it turned out the date was that Dr. Ou.

Little Pudding thought that if this Dr. Ou was to become his sister’s husband, it didn’t seem to bother Little Pudding.

Ou Yanan dropped her off and was going to drive the car back to the Ou Family.

He turned the steering wheel, and when the BMW was turning around, he caught a glimpse of the familiar bedroom and balcony on the second floor, thus seeing the faint silhouette of Gu Nuan standing behind the curtain.

His brow furrowed slightly on his forehead.

Pretending not to see her, he drove away from the villa.

Gu Nuan just watched his silhouette grow farther and farther away. At that instant, it seemed to remind her of the time she left to buy candy for her brother, and his figure grew farther and farther away until it completely disappeared, and she could never catch his silhouette again.

At the spot in her chest, whether it was pain, sourness, or some other kind of bitter taste, she couldn’t distinguish it at all.

She only knew that it had gone numb as if anesthetized, just waiting for someone to cut in with a knife.

Of course, this was something she would absolutely not allow. After a while, she straightened her back, turned, and walked away.

After all, everything had to be resolved, whether it was her husband’s issue or her brother’s issue.

In the room, the international evening news was one of the must-watch programs, as it related to the global economic trends. For businesses, especially large enterprises and those doing multinational business, ignoring these trends could mean getting knocked over by an unexpected storm at any moment.

Gu Nuan turned on the TV, and on every channel, there was news about Finance, all broadcasting the recent continuous decline in the stock market and the unprecedented rampant and arrogant actions of certain short-selling forces.

This easily made Gu Nuan think of the Black Hat.

According to Zhang San’s theory, the operational rules of the Black Hat were akin to quantum theory, identical to those of well-known short-selling institutions. Perhaps this Black Hat was, undoubtedly, someone who loved to secretly ally with short-selling forces.

That time, she played a little trick, making the Black Hat temporarily not dare to intervene in the battle between her and Xiao Jianming. Now, with such a good opportunity in front of them, what would the Black Hat do?

A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Nuan’s mind.

There was a knock on her room door.

"Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"

Hearing her husband’s brother’s voice, Gu Nuan said, "Please come in."

Zhang Sanfeng alone turned the handle of her door, entering her room in a wheelchair. Looking around, he saw that her room was filled with work-related items on the desk and the floor.

To call her a typical workaholic would not be an exaggeration at all.

Gu Nuan asked, "Is there something you need?"

Zhang Sanfeng saw the TV she had turned on, smirked, and said, "It seems like sister-in-law and I have roughly the same thoughts."

Indeed.

Gu Nuan said, "It’s time to get hold of Changda first."

"After what happened tonight, the second lady of the Xiao Family has no other option. Changda will definitely end up in sister-in-law’s hands. But what does sister-in-law think of the Ou Group?"

Gu Nuan looked back, glancing at his elegant and handsome face, thinking what a pity it was for this man not to be a movie star, and said, "This issue, I need to consider carefully—"

Just then, her phone rang again on her side.

At a glance, it was Xiao Family’s third daughter, Xiao Shuju’s call.
