Chapter 106: Twists and Turns—The Two Protagonists’ Mental Collapse!

---

Just then, a massive red candlestick appeared on the screen, causing soybean prices to drop by 2%.

Before anyone could react, another red candlestick followed, pushing the price down another 2%.

Everyone was stunned. The bullish momentum had been going strong—why did it suddenly collapse?

In the blink of an eye, soybean prices had dropped 4%!

Such a sharp decline was impossible without billions of dollars being thrown into the market!

Given the current bullish trend and high trading volume, something must have intervened to suppress the rise so aggressively.

But what exactly happened?

Who was behind it?

Inside Lin Beifan's Trading Room

Angkor glanced at Lin Beifan in confusion. He hadn't done anything!

From the start, Lin Beifan had remained motionless.

So why were soybean prices dropping?

At Longya Capital Headquarters

Dragon King Zhao Tian frowned. "What's going on? Is there another major player in the market, or did Lin Beifan short again?"

"Dragon King, we're investigating it right now!" one of his men responded.

Zhao Tian grew impatient. "Find out immediately! No one can stop me from going long on soybeans!"

But before he could get his answer, another sharp drop hit the market—soybean prices fell by another 2%!

That meant that from the peak, the price had already fallen back by 6% in just under a minute, completely wiping out the bulls' profits.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What was happening?

The market was acting completely illogically!

Something had changed—something big!

Dragon King Zhao Tian felt a sense of foreboding. His voice turned cold. "Have you found out the reason yet?"

"Dragon King, we've confirmed it!"

"Show me!"

Zhao Tian rushed to the computer.

A new report had just been published on an official agricultural website.

Yan Nation had signed an agricultural cooperation agreement with the Beautiful Nation, which included large-scale soybean imports.

The Beautiful Nation's soybeans weren't just of better quality—they were also significantly cheaper due to industrialized production, costing less than half of domestic soybeans.

The moment he saw this, Zhao Tian understood everything.

The massive influx of high-quality, low-cost soybeans would severely impact the domestic market.

The futures market was reacting accordingly—soybean prices were plummeting.

For the foreseeable future, the soybean market would enter a bearish phase—prices could drop by half!

This was the worst possible news for soybean futures bulls!

Zhao Tian's Mind Went Blank

He was holding 1.5 million long contracts on soybeans, with nearly 10 billion in capital tied up!

If prices fell, his losses would be catastrophic!

Even a 1% drop meant he'd lose a billion yuan!

Now, with prices set to keep falling, there was no room for hope—he needed to liquidate immediately to minimize losses!

"SELL! Sell everything immediately!" Zhao Tian roared.

"Yes, Dragon King!"

But he was already too late.

The screen refreshed—soybean prices plummeted another 2%.

Zhao Tian's account showed a floating loss of 2 billion yuan.

His face turned ghostly pale. "Hurry up!"

His trader grimaced. "Dragon King, we've already placed the sell orders! But everyone is shorting now. Our orders are too large—no one wants to take them!"

"Then lower the price and sell at a loss! Just get rid of them!"

Before his voice even fell, the screen refreshed again—soybean prices crashed another 2%.

Now, his losses had ballooned to 4 billion yuan.

Zhao Tian felt his vision darken. His legs gave out, and he collapsed onto his chair.

"It's over…!!"

Meanwhile, at Lin Beifan's Office…

The atmosphere was completely different—everyone was cheering!

"Damn! I thought we were going to lose, but then this game-changing news dropped!"

"With this agreement in place, domestic soybean prices are bound to fall! The bear market has begun! Prices could drop by at least half!"

"Good thing we held our short positions—if we had closed them earlier, we'd have missed out on all these profits!"

"I bet Mr. Lin saw this coming, which is why he insisted on shorting!"

"Mr. Lin is a genius!"

"Boss Lin, you're too strong!"

The room was filled with admiration and praise.

Lin Beifan shivered from the sheer volume of compliments. He couldn't help but feel a little smug.

He laughed and waved his hand. "Haha, you're all overpraising me! This was just a lucky break, pure coincidence!"

But no one believed that. The flattery continued, filling the office with joy.

One Person Was Out of Place—Angkor.

He stood there in complete shock, staring blankly at the screen.

The price had climbed so high—why was it crashing now?

Lin Beifan had been so close to losing billions! Why did this happen?!

Damn it!

God, are you screwing with me?!

All he wanted was for Lin Beifan to lose some money.

Was that too much to ask?!

And yet, instead of losing, Lin Beifan was now making billions—and it was all thanks to him!

A Burst of Laughter Snapped Him Back to Reality.

Lin Beifan clapped him on the shoulder. "Brother, are you okay? You don't look so good."

"I… I'm just overwhelmed by the market! The way soybeans skyrocketed and then crashed—it was so intense! Too exciting! My heart can't handle it!" Angkor clutched his chest.

He meant every word—his heart was breaking!

Just imagining Lin Beifan raking in billions because of him made his chest hurt even more.

"Haha, if this was too much for you, you need to work on your mental resilience!" Lin Beifan laughed.

"My nerves are totally shot… I need a break. Mr. Lin, I'd like to take the rest of the day off…" Angkor's voice was weak.

But before he could escape, Lin Beifan held him down by the shoulders.

"No running away! If you have a weak mentality, you need to face it head-on! The more you watch, the stronger you'll become!"

"But, Mr. Lin—"

"No buts! Stay and watch!"

At that moment, the screen refreshed again—soybean prices dropped another 2%!

Lin Beifan burst out laughing. "Another 2 billion in profits! Hahaha!"

Angkor's eyes rolled back.

He almost fainted.
