Chapter 638 Not Someone Ordinary
“Yes. I’ve been short-selling the shares, but that person has been bottom-fishing them. Once news about Ouyang Duo gets out there, the shares will decline even more, and that person will have more chances to purchase the shares by then. If they managed to purchase the shares through other market levels, they might become Sunshine Corporation’s major stockholder. Whoever it is, they are highly efficient in doing this. They aren’t purchasing the shares blindly. Instead, they’re purchasing the shares each time they decline after a rebound. They are experts in this field,” said Nan Chen.
“You have always been the leading expert in the finance field, and you’re certainly ranked top five among the financial experts in our country. If that person impresses you so much, they must be an expert too. Who could be so good at this?” Nan Zhengde asked.
“I haven’t gotten a lead yet. From what I had gathered, that person uses funds from offshore companies registered abroad. I’ve sent someone to look into this, but we have yet to find out which local companies have been working with those offshore companies. This person is highly secretive. That’s why I think they’re experts,” Nan Chen explained.
“Then, from your judgment, did that person bottom fish Sunshine Corporation because they guessed you’d make a move on the company? Or is it only a coincidence?” Nan Zhengde asked.
“I’m afraid this is more than a coincidence, but I don’t have any evidence to prove that yet,” said Nan Chen.
“If it’s more than a coincidence, that person must have known what Ouyang Duo had planned to do to us. This person also predicted we would defeat Ouyang Duo. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have based on their prediction and prepared beforehand to bottom fish Sunshine Corporation. But then, how did they know what Ouyang Duo would do to us? Could it be that they were working with Ouyang Duo?” Nan Zhengde raised a question.
“It’s hard to say, but Ouyang Duo is a cautious man. I doubt he would tell the people around him what he planned to do to us, especially when Ouyang Qi and Feng Jialing were clueless about many things he did. Therefore, it’s very unlikely that anyone around Ouyang Duo would know beforehand that we could defeat him. Also, they are certainly not ordinary when they could mobilize so many funds to acquire Sunshine Corporation. No one around Ouyang Duo is that capable. I’m sure this person is a big shot,” Nan Chen revealed his thoughts on this.
“If that’s the case, I’m afraid that person will become your rival someday.” Nan Zhengde’s expression turned solemn.
“Grandpa, I think you’re worrying too much about this. Ouyang Duo is powerful, but Sunshine Corporation didn’t manage to acquire Nanshi Corporation over the years. So even if that mysterious person managed to control Sunshine Corporation, I doubt they can be more powerful than Ouyang Duo and acquire Nanshi Corporation, right?” Nan Xing chimed in.
“We’re not saying they can do that, but we must plan ahead. Imagine yourself out in the woods. You must always stay alert for wild beasts lurking around you. Even if the wild beast doesn’t attack you immediately, you must be wary about its existence and keep your guard up. Otherwise, when the wild beast suddenly charges at you, you won’t have enough time to react, and you’ll become its food. Ouyang Duo failed to acquire our company because Grandpa had planned for such a thing many years ago, and we were wary of him. That’s how we survived this crisis,” said Nan Chen with a solemn expression.
Nan Zhengde agreed with that and said, “Chen is right. Even if that person isn’t powerful enough to threaten us for now, we should at least find out their identity and their plans.”
Right then, Feng Wan walked over to them. She asked, “Are you guys talking about work again? Chen is yet to recover. He needs to get enough rest.”
“Grandma, I’m fine. Don’t worry,” said Nan Chen softly.
“Anyway, do you want to guess who I was speaking to over the phone just now?” Feng Wan smiled.
“Who?”
“My lovely great-granddaughter, of course. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Erbao is now back to normal. She’s being a glutton again and craves all the food she sees!” Feng Wan chuckled.
“Who is the doctor? Is the medicine really that effective?” Nan Zhengde was also happy to hear an update about his great-granddaughter.
“I think his last name is Ding. You know, it’s the person Nan Chen and the others went to look for. They couldn’t find him in Lightspring, so they went to Livingsfill, and someone led them to him. It is truly a blessing for Erbao to have met such a great doctor. I guess it’s fated for them to find the doctor in Livingsfill.” Feng Wan grinned from ear to ear.
However, the look in Nan Chen’s eyes dimmed a little when he heard that. Still, he quickly concealed that and returned to his usual expression.
“When will the kids come back?” Nan Zhengde asked.
“Ning Ran is staying with them. It’s warmer there, so I guess they’ll stay there for the time being before coming back,” said Feng Wan.
“All right, but we must ensure someone is there to protect them. We can’t let anything terrible happen to them again,” Nan Zhengde advised.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Qiao Zhan is with them. They will be fine.”
“All right. That’s good to know. Let’s eat now,” said Nan Zhengde.
After the meal, Nan Chen headed to the villa area in Red Maple City.
He did not go to his villa. Instead, he went to another villa and rang the doorbell.
Bai Hua opened the door. She was surprised to see it was Nan Chen. “How did you find this place?”
Without saying anything, Nan Chen walked right through the door and into the villa.
There were several suitcases in the living room on the second floor. It was a mess inside the house.
“What’s the matter? Are you leaving for somewhere else? Where are you going?” Nan Chen asked.
“I… We…” Nan Zhiyuan seemed flustered by Nan Chen’s sudden arrival, and he stammered a little.
“I know this villa belongs to Ouyang Qing, and I knew long ago that you guys were staying here, so you shouldn’t be surprised that I showed up here today.”
With that, Nan Chen sat on the couch. He also gestured for Bai Hua to take a seat.
Bai Hua sat uneasily next to Nan Zhiyuan and said, “Nan Chen, I heard you’re no longer on good terms with the Ouyang family. Is that true?”
“What else did you hear?” Nan Chen asked.
“I… I heard that the Ouyang family members were arrested.” Bai Hua’s expression changed again.
“So, are you planning to pack your stuff and move away right after hearing that your ally has fallen? Do you think you can no longer stay in her villa?” Nan Chen questioned coldly.
“Nan Chen, how can you talk to me like that? What do you mean by allies? It’s true that I am close to Ouyang Qing, but you’re the main reason we got close. I wanted to find you a wife. If I had known Ouyang Qing was such a vicious woman, I would have ignored her!” Bai Hua got anxious.
“Is that so?” Nan Chen’s voice became colder.
“Nan Chen, you’d better watch your attitude. How can you talk to your mother like that? Is there anything wrong with us moving into a villa when your grandpa kicked us out of the Nan residence because he got upset with us? You are our son, but you never offered to find us a place to stay. Instead, you told us to go to a nursing home. We aren’t that old and can do perfectly fine on our own. So why should we go to a nursing home?” Nan Zhiyuan got angry.
Nan Chen stared coldly at his parents and said nothing else.
“Why are you staring at us? Did I say something wrong?” Nan Zhiyuan was angry.
“You should know better than anyone else why you went overseas back then. If you didn’t pretend to have cancer, Grandpa wouldn’t have allowed you to return. There’s something I don’t understand. Since you claim to be a part of the Nan family, why are you doing things that will hurt us?” Nan Chen questioned.
