Chapter 35: It's Comfortable Now—Let's See If You Die!

Lin Beifan and his team arrived at the trading room.

"Open Brother Ye's account," Lin Beifan said with a smile. "Let's see what he traded and how much he's earned so far!"

At his command, a trader quickly accessed Ye Xingchen's account.

After a single glance, the trader shouted, "F**k!"

"What happened?"

"What's going on?"

Everyone suddenly felt uneasy.

The trader, still in shock, exclaimed, "He… He actually went all-in and shorted gold!"

The entire room was stunned.

"What?! He shorted gold? And went all-in?!"

These were experienced professionals—they understood exactly what this meant.

Liu Rumei's face paled. "Right now, the global economy is sluggish, and gold prices have been steadily rising. The trend is clear. The right move is to go long on gold! And yet, he shorted it with his entire position?"

She clenched her fists. "Does he have a death wish?! I knew it! Giving money to someone like him is completely pointless! Hurry up and close the position before we suffer any losses!"

But the trader shook his head frantically. "No… No need to close it! We haven't lost anything. In fact, we've made a fortune!"

Liu Rumei was dumbfounded. "Made money? How much?"

The trader's voice trembled with excitement. "Look at this! Gold has suddenly plummeted—down by 1.5%, almost 2%! And since Ye Xingchen went all-in on shorting gold, our profit has reached 15%! We've already made 8 million!!!"

"F**k! How is this even possible?!"

The entire room erupted in disbelief.

"How could gold fall this much at a time like this? Quick! Find out what happened!"

The trader's fingers flew across the keyboard. A moment later, he gasped, "I found it!"

"A massive gold mine was just discovered in the Melbourne area! The estimated reserves rank among the top three in the world! With such a sudden surge in supply, gold prices immediately plummeted!"

The entire room fell silent before collectively thinking the same thing—F**k!

"This… This news dropped right after he shorted gold?!"

"What kind of ridiculous timing is that?!"

"This is insane!"

Lin Beifan burst out laughing. "I knew it—Brother Ye wouldn't disappoint me! Where is he?"

A few minutes later, Ye Xingchen walked in. "Mr. Lin, did you need me for something?"

Lin Beifan looked at him with delight. "Brother Ye, you really gave me a massive surprise! I don't even know how to react to the fact that you shorted gold at full position!"

Ye Xingchen hesitated. "Mr. Lin… We didn't lose money, did we?" He put on a regretful expression. "I knew I wasn't cut out for this!"

But inside, he was ecstatic. Good! I hope we lost everything! I hope it's a total disaster!

Lin Beifan shook his head. "No losses. In fact, we made a huge profit!"

Ye Xingchen: "Huh?"

Lin Beifan beamed. "Brother Ye, in less than half a day, gold fell 1.5%, and now it's down 2%! That means in just a few hours, you helped me earn nearly 10 million! Our total profit has reached 20%! You're really my lucky star!"

He excitedly patted Ye Xingchen on the shoulder.

In just half a day, gold dropped 2%!

Total profit: 20%! Nearly 10 million in earnings!

In other words… I helped him make money again?!

Ye Xingchen's face turned green. "How… How is this possible? Why did it… Why did it fall?!"

Lin Beifan enthusiastically explained the sudden discovery of the Melbourne gold mine. He was positively glowing with excitement.

Meanwhile, Ye Xingchen felt like coughing up blood.

I wanted him to lose money!

How did he end up profiting again?!

"Damn it! Why is this demon king so damn lucky?!"

Lin Beifan patted his shoulder again. "Brother Ye, keep up the good work! I have high hopes for you!"

Ye Xingchen barely managed a smile—one that looked worse than crying. "Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your trust…"

After leaving the trading room, Ye Xingchen's expression darkened.

Back in his room, he turned on his computer, logged into the company's investment account, and clenched his teeth.

"Since gold has dropped, I'll go long now! I'll go all-in on gold again—let's see if you can survive this time!"

Without hesitation, he closed his short position and went all-in on a long position.

Leaning back in his chair, he smirked.

"Now it's comfortable. Let's see how you handle this!"

Satisfied, he left the room to relax.

"There's no way he's profiting again. This time, I'll make him lose it all!"

Back in the Trading Room

Traders continued monitoring the gold market. Suddenly, one of them shouted, "Gold is rising! Buyers are rushing in! Many investors are taking advantage of the dip to buy gold, pushing the price back up! Close our short positions quickly!"

Another trader immediately checked Ye Xingchen's account—only to freeze in shock.

"What's wrong? Close it now before we lose money!"

The trader shook his head, still in disbelief. "No need… He already closed the short position earlier… He's now fully long on gold. We're up 1%—we've made another 5 million!"

Everyone: "F**k!"
