Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Who Leaked the Secret?_1
"I’m sorry, Third Young Master, I failed to foresee Gu Yan’s desperation move." Feiyu was filled with guilt. After years of planning their revenge against the Gu Clan, they were so close to success. This miss was all the more regrettable.
The Third Young Master must have been very frustrated.
Third Young Master Jun quickly scanned all the data and carefully examined some documents.
Feiyu felt even worse when he saw that Third Young Master didn’t blame him.
"Feiyu, if it was because of your operational error, even if it were you, I wouldn’t let it go!" Third Young Master Jun sat on his leather chair, his face was cold, and his voice was calm.
Feiyu trembled, lowered his head, and gritted his teeth, "I am willing to accept any punishment."
"But, I have looked at your operation data, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Feiyu looked up in shock, deeply moved.
"Third Young Master..."
"This time it’s not your fault, I underestimated Gu Yan, and that’s how he found the opportunity to fight back. If we failed then so be it, I, Third Young Master Jun can afford to lose!"
Despite failing, Third Young Master Jun did not lose his temper, but remained calm. Indeed, the problem lay with him.
He failed to monitor the situation in China personally, couldn’t adapt to changing situations, unable to track Gu Yan’s every move.
And at a crucial moment, his phone --inaccessible due to his location in the mountains-- left Feiyu unable to contact him.
So, despite having planned for a long time, failing to coup the Gu clan was indeed hard to swallow.
"Have you investigated the losses?"
"Yes, we basically lost out on the put options the Gu Clan invested in. We bought at a high price and sold at a low one, making a significant loss. The investment firms we involved are very upset; they’ve lost a lot."
"I’ll bear all the losses," Third Young Master Jun said calmly.
"However, we did make a significant profit from the Shang Family. It should cover about half of the losses we incurred with the Gu Clan."
"Transfer the remaining losses from my overseas account to those firms, including the money I promised them they would make from the Gu Clan."
Feiyu frowned. This time, Third Young Master was going to lose a lot of money. If it weren’t for the profit they made from the Shang Family, the loss would have been much larger.
"There’s one thing I find very strange!" Third Young Master Jun’s face darkened, and his gaze turned icy. "The timing for the Gu Clan’s insider buying was a little higher than our bottom price. This is too much of a coincidence."
Feiyu was taken aback, "Third Young Master, are you saying there’s a mole leaking our bottom price?"
"Of course. Do you think this is just a coincidence? It was only a 0.1 difference. Gu Yan was clearly making a statement, slapping me in the face, mocking me that my bottom line was exposed." Third Young Master Jun’s expression was somber, "You check right away how this leak happened – if there’s a traitor among the traders or if our computers were hacked."
"Impossible. Our firewall has always been the strongest and there has never been any trace of intrusion. And those traders, they have always been trained by us and have been through a lot with us. It’s unthinkable that they would betray us."
Feiyu felt this was impossible; they were a solid team with a strong sense of responsibility and loyalty.
One would never dare to betray the Third Young Master.
Their firewall has always been top-class globally – they have always been the ones breaking into others’ territories without experiencing any provocations and challenges.
But, something was surely off here.
Suddenly, it dawned upon Feiyu about a certain incident. He turned pale and got a bit flustered.
Ye Lu had once visited the study. Could it have been her?
