This hot search clearly popped up out of nowhere because with every refresh, it appeared in the recommended section right below the hot search box.

It was obviously purchased, and not for a small amount of money.

With such aggressive promotion, netizens naturally couldn’t miss it.

But the name of the hot search left them puzzled, and they each clicked through to find out more.

#Zhong Corporation, DK Corporation, Bet Agreement#

The first popular Weibo post under this hot search was published by DK Corporation.

It was in both Chinese and English.

[DK Corporation Hua Country Headquarters V: We were originally honored to sign such a big order with Zhong Corporation, and we trusted Zhong Corporation’s reputation, but unfortunately, Zhong Corporation has let us down. However, after discussing this matter with Zhong Corporation, we’ve found a new solution, and we hope the people of Hua Country will witness this.]

Below was a picture from this afternoon of the bet agreement that DK Corporation and Zhong Corporation had just signed.

At the bottom were the official stamps and signatures of both corporations.

[Holy shit, a bet agreement has been issued? If Zhong Corporation loses, they have to hand over the hundred-year-old Jade Pavilion?]

[Bet a pack of spicy strips, if Zhong Corporation can’t retrieve the Ten Directions Realm, they’ll have to compensate with the Jade Pavilion.]

[Tsk tsk, who has the guts to sign such a bet agreement with DK Corporation, thinking that DK Corporation is just a minor, insignificant company?]

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Actually, DK Corporation isn’t very well-known in Hua Country, with its main business in the northern part of O-zhou, conducting large transactions with many of the countries in O-zhou that have developed livestock industries.

Besides these, DK Corporation also has a jade stone industry, supplying goods to some mid-sized royal families in O-zhou as well as some smaller families.

In terms of scale, it far surpasses Zhong Corporation.

[No, haven’t you blind folks noticed a key point? Isn’t Zhong Corporation at fault first? We don’t yet know who put forward the bet agreement, but how could DK Corporation possibly give away an order worth three hundred million dollars?]

Even the families in Imperial Capital would struggle to secure an order of three hundred million dollars.

DK Corporation is indeed a cross-border company, but compared to the big wealthy families of Imperial Capital, they are much weaker, so how could they afford to let go of that much money?]

[Yeah, it’s too weird. If Zhong Corporation really manages to find their family heirloom, wouldn’t DK Corporation end up with nothing, and instead have to pay out three hundred million dollars? Are they crazy?]

[Perhaps they know that Zhong Corporation won’t be able to find the family heirloom?]

[Now that you mention it, I suddenly have a terrible thought. Could it be that the family heirloom of the Jade Pavilion was taken by DK Corporation, who then set a trap to take over Zhong Corporation’s Jade Pavilion?]

[Some keyboard warriors are just idle all day, always concocting conspiracy theories. How much stronger is DK Corporation compared with Zhong Corporation? Why would they want a Jade Pavilion?]

[Simply explained for those who don’t understand bet agreements, if Zhong Corporation loses, at least nearly half of the company’s shares would fall into the hands of DK Corporation, and the transfer of company ownership would be only a matter of time.]

Because he was busy with the company’s matters, Elder Zhong didn’t truly rest back at the old house as he had promised Ying Zijin; instead, he kept busy at the company.

Elder Zhong found it odd that even after working all day, he didn’t feel any backache or leg pain.

He saw the young people around him, all with dark circles under their eyes.

Yet they couldn’t compare with this old man.

“Director Zhong, the situation isn’t looking good,” the assistant hurried over with a folder in hand, “The issue of the Ten Directions Realm being lost has hit Weibo.”

After hearing this, Elder Zhong’s first reaction was, “Our obscure company is worthy of a hot search?”

The assistant: “…”

He felt somewhat at a loss for words.

But had to admit that the statement made sense.

“Let me see.” Elder Zhong picked up his phone, and after looking through it, he remained calm, “I had already guessed as much.”

This matter was definitely related to DK Corporation. The trap had been set from the day they signed the order.

“How’s the stock?” Elder Zhong asked, “Has it plummeted to an unwatchable degree?”

“Not at all, Director Zhong.” The assistant scratched his head, “Our stocks haven’t fallen, they are still rising.”

Elder Zhong hissed, “That can’t be possible, can it?”

He opened his computer and checked the stock market, finding that Zhong Corporation’s stocks were indeed green, indicating they hadn’t fallen.

Behind the stocks, there was also a small marker indicating a rise.

This was truly bizarre.

Elder Zhong fell silent.

“Oh, right, Director Zhong,” the assistant added, “Just now, we suddenly received another huge order, in the hundreds of millions range.”

He cautiously said, “It’s from O-zhou again, but they said they could pay first and leave the goods with us, to be picked up later. Do you think we should take it?”

On Weibo, the incident continued to ferment.

After reading through the comments under the Weibo post, Eugene organized his thoughts and pushed open the door to the presidential suite.

He bent towards the person inside and spoke respectfully, “Boss, everything is arranged properly, Zhong Corporation will have no chance to back out.”

With so many people online as witnesses, if Zhong Corporation were to renege now, it would truly be ruined.

The person Eugene addressed as the boss was also a foreign man, but surprisingly young.

“Very good,” the man nodded, a smile spreading across his face, “Just waiting for five days from now, when the Jade Pavilion will be in our possession.”

“The boss’s scheme was perfect too,” Eugene sincerely praised. “Letting me sign the order with Zhong Corporation first, then moving the Ten Directions Realm out of Jade Pavilion. This way, the fault could only be theirs.”

The conspiracy theories on the internet and the speculations of Zhong’s shareholders were remarkably accurate.

The Ten Directions Realm was indeed stolen from the Jade Pavilion by someone sent by the DK Group and had been escorted out of the country.

Even if Zhong Corporation could find the Ten Directions Realm, there would be absolutely no way they could do it within five days.

That was why they dared to sign the high-stakes betting agreement.

Once they acquired Jade Pavilion, wouldn’t acquiring Zhong Corporation just be a matter of time?

“You did well this time.” The man took the betting agreement, glanced at the signature at the bottom, and frowned slightly, “This Ying… Ying Zijin, what’s her background?”

His Chinese was not standard, and he found the name difficult to pronounce.

“The boss needn’t worry about her,” Eugene said with an indifferent smile. “She’s not from Zhong Corporation. I asked around a bit, and she’s a daughter adopted by another wealthy family in Shanghai City, the Ying Family.”

“But Old Master Zhong said she could represent the entire Zhong Corporation. Young people, they can’t resist a challenge.”

In Eugene’s opinion, Zijin had signed the high-stakes betting agreement purely out of impulsiveness.

But knowing that they at DK had a deal worth three hundred million dollars, she wasn’t completely ignorant.

A young girl, she really thought she could save Zhong Corporation?

It was clearly like pushing Zhong Corporation into the fire.

If Zhong Corporation hadn’t signed this betting agreement, it would have been somewhat difficult for them to make a move against Zhong Corporation.

But now that the betting agreement was signed, they could invade Zhong Corporation outright and aboveboard.

The man nodded again, “Good, I’m waiting for your good news.”

At eleven o’clock at night.

Ying Zijin completed her last reward task.

Her Growth Points finally reached ten thousand.

There was no shortage of remarkable individuals on the NOK forum, but they were all in the hidden sections.

And the rewards and other tasks on the homepage offered pitifully low Growth Points, with many rewards worth only a hundred points.

Zijin felt her patience was quite good; she wasn’t annoyed by such tedious reward tasks.

Once her Growth Points reached ten thousand, a window popped up on the forum’s homepage.

[ID Cola Milk Tea Fries, you now qualify to enter the Hidden Alliance. Would you like to enter?]

The Hidden Alliance was just another name for the hidden section.

Zijin moved her mouse and clicked yes.

Just after she clicked, the homepage of the forum instantly changed.

It was simpler, more ordinary, and quite dull.

It was the type of forum that people would not want to click on after a single glance.

Zijin glanced over the homepage of the hidden section and, without looking more, started to post her own reward task.

[REWARD]

Offering a reward for a piece of King of Kings Ice-type Jadeite, 0.5 meters wide, 0.75 meters tall.

The reward price is eighty million, equivalent to seven million four hundred and thirty thousand US dollars.

Deliver to Hua Country, Shanghai City, at the following coordinates by five o’clock tomorrow.

After clicking to publish, the reward appeared on the homepage.

However, because her ID was new, the older users who frequented the hidden sections usually wouldn’t pay it any attention.

Ice-type jade was rare, but not unprecedented.

But getting such a large piece of ice-type jade delivered to a specific location within mere hours was indeed a difficult task.

So it was very possible that after a few minutes, this reward post would completely sink from view.

Zijin thought for a moment.

She typed something on the keyboard at will and topped her own reward post.

She also thoughtfully marked it in red.

It was no different from what the administrators could do internally.

Effectively, she had hacked the NOK forum.

Hacking the NOK forum was no different from hacking the largest intelligence network in the world.

This was something that the leader of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance had always wanted to do but never dared to, and had never succeeded in doing.

Zijin looked at the reward she had posted, thought for a moment, and then placed a large exclamation mark at the end of the reward to further catch the users’ attention.

And almost at the same moment that she topped the post, some big shots who were aimlessly browsing the international forums all noticed this reward at the same time!
