Chapter 18: This Girl is Indeed Not Simple

"He knows, he's not familiar," Shi Huai replied concisely.

"Sit here and speak." Shi Yunli waved his hand, motioning for the two to sit on the sofa.

Shi Huai asked, "Dad, what exactly happened?"

Shi Yunli sighed, "Hey, to be honest, I don't know what happened. Just last night, in one night, a large number of investors borrowed Huaiyuan's shares from the brokerage."

Shi Huai didn't understand, but then Xia Qiaoan's expression was serious, "Uncle Shi is worried that someone is deliberately shorting Huaiyuan's stock."

Shi Yunli's eyes lit up, he had seen correctly. This girl named Xia Qiaoan was indeed not simple.

Shi Yunli couldn't help but worry, "Yes, it should be that they will sell the borrowed shares in the market in the next few days, and then buy them back at a low price."

Hearing this, Shi Huai finally understood. Li Mochen was really a man of his word.

The words he had spoken, had actually been enacted in one night, he really dared to take action against Huaiyuan.

"Dad, are you too anxious? Huaiyuan isn't a small company, and it's been running well for so many years, and the market recognizes it. No one can short it easily." Shi Huai comforted, and also consoled himself. Li Mochen was so good, could he control so many investors overnight?

Shi Yunli shook his head, "It's precisely because it's not easy that it happened now, and I'm even more worried."

He looked at Shi Huai, and continued, "Looking at the whole of Chenjiang, even the entire country, the only one who has the strength to help us buy back these shares is Li Mochen."

Xia Qiaoan suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for the old man.

She didn't know what to say. In any case, she seemed to be the culprit at this moment.

"Dad, aren't there a lot of friends? Find everyone to think of a way together, there will always be one," Shi Huai clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white.

"It's too late, and ten old friends can't compare to a Li Mochen. I'll go around and try to persuade them, and the stock price won't come back. Huaiyuan is the work of my life, and I don't want people with ulterior motives to ruin it," Shi Yunli's desolation and sadness were moving.

Xia Qiaoan really wanted to dissect Li Mochen's heart. Why did he take action against a man over sixty years old just to vent his anger!

Was he still the person who had been silently doing charity in the past?

Had he exchanged souls with some evildoer?

"Dad, actually, the person with ulterior motives is..."

"Shi Huai!"

Xia Qiaoan stopped him in time.

Although the two of them suspected it was Li Mochen, they didn't have any concrete evidence at the moment. To make any rash judgment now would crush the old man's last hope.

Xia Qiaoan was afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to bear it, she could already see the powerlessness in the old man's demeanor.

Shi Yunli, with sharp ears and eyes, asked, "Who is it? Do you know who it is?"

Xia Qiaoan seized the opportunity, "Old Master, you don't know, how could Shi Huai know? Any conjecture at this moment is not conducive to solving the problem. The most important thing right now is to find reliable investors to repurchase these shares and stabilize the stock price."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Shi Yunli was very excited; this girl was right about everything!

"So, don't worry too much, I'll discuss it with Shi Huai, and see who can be helped. We will do our best to save Huaiyuan." Xia Qiaoan said earnestly.

Shi Yunli felt a sense of inexplicable trust and excitement, "Okay, okay, I believe you."

"Okay, Uncle, we'll go out and discuss it first. You don't have to worry too much, worry can hurt the body. You don't want to drag down your own body before the accident even happens," Xia Qiaoan said sincerely.

Shi Yunli nodded, waved his hand, and signaled for the two to go out.

The two returned to the car, and remained silent for a long time.

"What's your relationship with Li Mochen?" Shi Huai began slowly, from the start, he felt that there was something between the two of them; it wasn't a stranger relationship, as Xia Qiaoan had said.

Xia Qiaoan felt that the two of them hadn't reached that kind of open and honest friendship. She also didn't want to casually tell others her privacy.

But the matter at hand was also related to her. "Now is not the time to talk about this."

The hand Shi Huai was holding the steering wheel with tightened.

Xia Qiaoan saw it and said, "Huaiyuan Company is in danger now, I will find a way."

"Don't go looking for Li Mochen." Shi Huai's voice wasn't loud, but the tone was undeniable.

"This is a matter between me and Li Mochen, don't go looking for him." Shi Huai turned his head and looked at Xia Qiaoan.

He had always been gentle, with a fair and clean complexion, delicate features, and a gentle noble air.

However, Xia Qiaoan was a little afraid of his seriousness at this moment.

Shi Huai suddenly smiled, "You're like a little cat, frightened... very cute."

"Don't worry, I'll go to Li Mochen. I'm an old friend and acquaintance of his, and it shouldn't be a big problem if I ask him for help."

"But..." Xia Qiaoan was halfway through the sentence, and it was stuck in her throat. This was clearly done by Li Mochen. Since he had done it, it was impossible for him to make any changes because of Shi Huai's appeasement.

Moreover, Shi Huai wasn't a person who would appease others.

"It's okay, trust me. You should go to the hospital to get your arm treated."

Not allowing Xia Qiaoan to object, Shi Huai drove to the hospital. After dropping off Xia Qiaoan, he drove off with the accelerator down.

The roar of the car as it sped away didn't sound like he was going to talk to Li Mochen.

It was more like they were going to fight.
