C11 The Crazy Increase

Su Ningshang's complexion was a shade of livid green. To her, Faang Yu's antics were indistinguishable from those of an imbecile.

Had the area not been crowded, Su Ningshang would've likely thrown caution to the wind, abandoning any concern for her image to berate Faang Yu.

Yet, Faang Yu maintained an air of nonchalance, seemingly unaffected and detached from the situation.

As three minutes ticked by, Faang Yu's selected stock, Tianyuan Electronics, climbed by two percentage points.

That meant Faang Yu had just pocketed a cool two million.

"Pfft, pfft ~! Up another two percent? Looks like fools really do get lucky. Had you not made that bet with me, you'd be up two million today!"

Wang Kai's gaze dripped with mockery as he taunted Faang Yu.

Zhao Linlin and the onlookers shared the same derisive amusement, eyeing Faang Yu as if he were a sideshow attraction.

Wang Kai's stock picks had soared by a whopping thirty-three percent, while Faang Yu's had only edged up by two percent. With a mere seven minutes left, Faang Yu seemed to have no chance of a comeback.

"What's the rush?" Faang Yu responded coolly. "There's still time left, isn't there?"

The crowd stared at Faang Yu as if he were a simpleton. "You really think a miracle is going to happen?"

"It's rising!" Just then, Director Zhao's eyes widened in astonishment.

The stock of Tianyuan Electronics, chosen by Faang Yu, was skyrocketing, shooting up dramatically in a matter of seconds.

In just those few seconds, the stock had surged by ten percent, bringing the total increase to twelve percent.

If he sold now, Faang Yu stood to gain a staggering twelve million!

"What?!" Upon witnessing this, everyone's eyes mirrored the shock.

A twelve percent surge in such a short span was unheard of; under normal circumstances, it would be hailed as a stellar stock.

The crowd watched Faang Yu, their surprise evident.

Even Wang Kai's eyes betrayed a flicker of unexpected respect; he hadn't anticipated Faang Yu's proficiency.

"So it's up twelve percent," Wang Kai remarked coolly. "Think it'll outperform Xingyuan Rubber?"

But no sooner had Wang Kai's words left his mouth than reality gave him a harsh slap in the face!

The stock of Tianyuan Electronics, chosen by Faang Yu, was skyrocketing—an ascent that seemed almost dreamlike.

Fifteen percent, sixteen percent, seventeen percent.

In the span of a single minute, the share price surged by a staggering twenty percent!

Everyone was left in shock, their jaws dropping, with just six minutes on the clock.

"How can this be?" They couldn't trust their own eyes.

Incredibly, Tianyuan Electronics, Faang Yu's pick, had shot up 18% in just sixty seconds!

And it was still climbing, showing no signs of slowing down.

At this rate, a more than 40% increase in the final six minutes wasn't just possible—it seemed almost effortless.

25%, 26%, 27%, and before long, it hit 30%!

"What in the world is happening?" Wang Kai bellowed, overwhelmed by disbelief.

Only five minutes remained until 3:30!

Su Ningshang, who had been resigned to defeat, was now completely flabbergasted, her heart a tumultuous sea as she gazed at Faang Yu in bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Wang Kai's choice, Xingyuan Rubber, had peaked at a 34% increase and was losing steam.

Though Xingyuan Rubber's afternoon gains might hope to climb over 50%, surpassing 40% before 3:30 seemed nearly impossible.

"What's going on?" This time, Wang Kai lost all composure, frantically pulling out his phone to call his broker.

"What's the deal with Tianyuan Electronics? Why is its stock price climbing so rapidly?" he demanded, his voice betraying his agitation.

The broker replied, "Young Master Wang, a mysterious fund has poured into the Hong Kong market, aggressively sweeping up shares of Tianyuan Electronics and driving the price up. Should we get in on the action?"

Wang Kai was livid. "Buy in? No, work with me here—push down Tianyuan Electronics' stock price!"

Hearing this, Su Ningshang grew anxious. "Wang Kai, isn't this going too far? Do we really need to do this?"

Wang Kai couldn't even spare Su Ningshang a glance. After all, if he won, Faang Yu's half a billion would be his.

If he lost, it would mean a colossal loss for him.

In the stock market, it's every person for themselves; notions of fair or foul play don't apply.

Yet Wang Kai's traders were visibly disheartened. "Young Master Wang, there's no way to push it down. We've done a rough calculation. That capital is at least over 10 billion.

With our resources, we simply can't compete. If we try to fight it, we're almost certain to be wiped out!"

"10 billion!" Wang Kai's complexion turned ashen upon hearing the figure.

He was acutely aware of what 10 billion signified.

Even for the Wang family, one of Diannan City's four major clans with hundreds of billions in assets, the readily available funds were only a few billion.

And Wang Kai himself had access to merely a fraction of that.

It would take days for even the Wang family to liquidate assets to free up 10 billion.

How could he possibly counter?

Everyone was stunned by Wang Kai's revelation and turned their gazes to Faang Yu.

They were clueless as to how Faang Yu had predicted the emergence of a mysterious fund that would drive up the share price of Tianyuan Electronics.

It was as though Faang Yu had foreseen the event.

Currently, Tianyuan Electronics' stock price was soaring wildly, quickly hitting a 32% increase.

In a matter of seconds, it climbed to 33%.

Now, the stock Faang Yu had chosen was just one percent shy of matching the 34% surge that Wang Kai had bet on with Xingyuan Rubber.

Just then, Wang Kai rose to his feet and approached Faang Yu's computer.

With a loud "Bang," he yanked the power cord out.

The computer shut down instantly, and simultaneously, Wang Kai powered down his own machine.

Just as Faang Yu was on the brink of victory, Wang Kai had abruptly pulled the plug.

"Oops—my apologies!" Wang Kai feigned innocence.

Faang Yu's expression darkened as he fixed his gaze on Wang Kai.
