109: Chapter 109 The John Family Arrives! Ella Prepares for Battle

Ella stared at the trading records, her expression grave.

The market data on the screen was dense, with massive, covert buy orders frantically sweeping up Microsoft stock. The transaction speed was increasing rapidly; clearly, major capital was working in the shadows, aiming directly for the original shares.

In the temporary office, the joy from the earlier stock price surge vanished instantly, and the atmosphere grew tense again. No one spoke, even their breathing softened, leaving only the faint sound of mouse clicks.

Ella zoomed in on the capital tracing window, her fingertips flying across the keyboard as she locked onto the entity behind the trades, her heart sinking suddenly.

She turned almost immediately to look at Lin Chen, her tone carrying a rare sense of urgency: "The John Family has arrived too! They are blatantly buying Microsoft stock on a massive scale. At this rate, it won't be long before they monopolize the circulating shares on the market, and we will be cut off directly!"

From her time at the investment bank, she knew deep down that the John Family possessed massive capital and ruthless methods. Once they set their sights on a target, they would never easily let go. They had previously used the investment bank to trip her up, and now that they were entering the fray directly, it was clearly aimed at Lin Chen's layout.

Li Wei's expression changed: "The John Family? How did they get involved?"

Chen Xi also put down the report in her hand and quickly approached the screen, her brows furrowed, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation.

Lin Chen walked slowly to the trading screen, his gaze falling on the capital continuously entering the market. His expression remained composed and calm, without a trace of panic, as if he had long anticipated the opponent would make a move.

"Initiate the AI global deduction," Lin Chen said in a steady tone, instructing the main control computer, "Lock onto the John Family's trading logic and predict their ultimate intention."

On the AI screen, massive amounts of data jumped constantly, algorithms ran at high speed, and deduction curves were generated in real-time. In just a few minutes, the results were clearly presented on the screen.

Lin Chen scanned the data and said faintly: "The AI has deduced it. They are not simply following the trend; they want to monopolize Microsoft's circulating original shares, squeeze us out completely, and swallow all the profits brought by the new system."

Ella's heart tightened; the John Family's ambition was even greater than she had imagined: "Their capital chain is vast. If they really want to snatch it by force, we simply cannot compete with them in terms of volume."

"Not being able to compete doesn't mean we can only sit and take a beating," Lin Chen said calmly.

At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly raised her head. She had been checking the John Family's recent capital movements in the background, doing things with meticulous detail. At this moment, her eyes were serious, and her voice was clear and firm.

"Mr. Lin, Ms. Ella, I found it. There are traces of irregularities in the John Family's recent capital operations. Many large-sum funds did not go through the formal filing process and belong to covert trading."

Lin Chen nodded slightly: "Continue digging deep. Investigate the source of funds, trading seats, and associated accounts clearly. Do not let any detail slip."

"Understood." Chen Xi immediately lowered her head, her fingertips tapping rapidly on the keyboard, tracing the capital chain layer by layer. Soon, she had a more critical discovery, which was also the foreshadowing she had laid.

"Mr. Lin, the funds the John Family is using this time to acquire Microsoft stock have problematic origins. They involve cross-border illegal borrowing and cannot withstand strict regulatory scrutiny, so they dare not make too much noise."

Ella's eyes lit up instantly, and her tense expression loosened. Having struggled in investment banks for many years, she immediately grasped the key point.

"Since their funds are not clean and they dare not make a blatant move, then we will race against time!" Ella looked at Lin Chen, her tone decisive, reacting extremely quickly, "I will immediately adjust the strategy, speed up our position-building, and lock in high-quality shares before them, so that even if they have money, they won't be able to buy!"

Her vigilance was extremely high, and she formulated a response plan instantly, which was entirely the quality of a top-tier trader.

Lin Chen looked at her, his eyes full of trust, and made the decision on the spot: "Very well, follow your rhythm, and we will fully support you. Li Wei will be responsible for channels, Chen Xi will be responsible for compliance and risk control, and you just focus on trading."

"Received!" Li Wei immediately accepted the order and walked quickly to connect with the brokerage firms to ensure the trading channels were fully unblocked.

Ella did not hesitate, sat back at the trading position, her eyes becoming sharp as a knife again. Her fingers flew across the keyboard, instantly adjusting the previous steady position-building strategy, giving up slow accumulation, and turning to covert, rapid sweeping.

She specifically chose to attack the share intervals that the John Family had not yet reached, precisely avoiding the opponent's trading range. Every transaction was fast, accurate, and stable, not causing violent fluctuations in the market while firmly seizing the initiative.

"The John Family has accelerated their position-building and is moving closer to our interval." Chen Xi monitored in real-time and reminded her in time.

"Watch his seats closely." Ella didn't even lift her head, her hands moving non-stop, "I want to see whether his illegal funds can run faster, or if my trading rhythm is faster."

In the office, everyone performed their duties, and the atmosphere was tense but orderly. A silent war of capital for shares had officially begun.

Lin Chen stood in the back, calmly observing the overall situation, while letting the AI continuously monitor the John Family's movements and sorting out subsequent response measures. Everything was under his control.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, in the John Family's private trading room, the lights were dim.

The chief trader stared at the constantly jumping transaction records on the screen and locked onto Ella's trading trajectory at a glance. The opponent's rhythm was tricky and her methods were sophisticated, which aroused his strong interest.

He zoomed in on Ella's exclusive trading seat, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and a cold smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

The John Family's trader had set his sights on Ella.
