After all wealth was wiped out, it became the highest peak in the A-share market.

Chapter 11: Financial Fraud in Collaboration with Third Parties

Regarding the mock exam, Li Chao made several simulations because the worst outcome was bound to happen, so he came up with several methods, but in his opinion, the results were all mediocre.

It's like trying to make money on a stock that's destined to be delisted (ST) during a downtrend – it's incredibly difficult.

Seeing that it was already late, Li Chao took a towel and a basin and prepared to go downstairs to take a shower.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw a girl coming back from outside. As she passed the gate, she casually picked up her thermos.

Li Chao was taking a shower in the bathroom while thinking about some things.

What can a stock that is about to be designated as a special treatment (ST) stock do to revive itself and deceive the market, besides releasing false positive news?

Is this a false announcement of good news? The mock exam is a true test of character.

The exam has just finished, and teachers will be grading the papers. Classes start on Monday, and the scores are already out. It's all just empty news; it has no real meaning.

Then, only one path remains.

Financial fraud!

Financial fraud is not about making more money, but about maintaining the current market balance to prevent too many uncontrollable accidents.

You can tell from Qin Nuanyang's perspective that everyone is afraid of doing poorly on the exam.

If he suddenly becomes a 400-point scorer, then without a doubt, every ant he sees on the roadside every day will be pulled aside for special investigation, not to mention the things that happened between him and Qin Nuanyang these past two days.

Qin Nuanyang might even expose him and tell Qin Zhiguo about his stock trading.

In Qin Zhiguo's eyes, stock trading is absolutely a waste of time and must be eradicated!

Ultimately, it will most likely turn into Qin Zhiguo inviting him to stay at his home, confiscating his phone, and arranging for a teacher to accompany him 24/7, not only to assist with his studies but also to provide psychological counseling.

Anyway, this year will be quite special. I remember that the third and fourth mock exams were a mess. Even though the college entrance exam was postponed by a month, it wasn't very good overall and doesn't have much reference value.

Therefore, he doesn't actually need to fake too much; he just needs to successfully fake the first and second mock exams.

I can get through the entire senior year of high school smoothly on my own.

As for his poor college entrance exam results?

It doesn't matter. I'm satisfied if I can get four or five hundred points. If others can't, that's their problem.

I did my best, but I only caused them a short-term pain.

Of course, financial fraud also carries significant risks; once discovered, the situation can quickly spiral out of control.

Li Chao had some conservative strategies before, which was to only take English exams. He could ensure that he could perform normally in English, so he could make excuses such as oversleeping or being sick, and try to miss a few exams where he would give himself away.

If you do this, and the proctor recognizes you and notices you're absent, you'll be exposed in the first exam.

After taking a shower, I returned to my room and carefully reviewed the entire process over and over again.

To avoid being caught committing financial fraud, you first need to find someone capable of doing so.

Secondly, the steps involved in forging are also very important.

In the A-share market, financial fraud can be divided into five main categories, such as financial bathing, fraudulent issuance, false trading, systemic fraud, and cooperation with third parties.

Li Chao needs to combine two or more methods of forgery.

Because the door was open, he heard some noises coming from downstairs.

After exiting the door, there is a corridor with a direct view of the courtyard downstairs. Judging from the commotion just now and the small room downstairs with its lights still on, it should be Wen He.

Li Chao simply waited up there.

About twenty minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and Wen He carried a basin containing a change of clothes and towels, walking out.

Li Chao also went downstairs immediately.

……

Wen He had just entered the room when there was a knock on the door.

Her whole body tensed up immediately; a knock on the door in the middle of the night was definitely not a good thing for her.

She was worried that her stepfather had come knocking on her door.

Who is it?

She asked in a low voice, while quickly putting down the basin in her hand and immediately looking for her underwear.

"Wen He, is that right? We met the day before yesterday. You were with Qin Nuanyang. My name is Li Chao."

Upon hearing this voice, Wen He instantly relaxed.

She definitely knows Li Chao; he's the top student in science.

In addition, Qin Nuanyang often talked about Li Chao to her, especially yesterday...

However, it seems that I don't know Li Chao. Why did he come to find me?

Wen He opened the door a crack and, seeing that it was indeed Li Chao, asked, "Hello, um... is there something you need?"

Li Chao glanced around and said, "Would you like to talk inside? If that's inconvenient, how about we talk outside? There's a place to the right after you go out... If that's still inconvenient, we can add each other on WeChat and chat there."

As Li Chao spoke, he opened WeChat, brought up the QR code interface, and extended it.

He'd given all three ways to communicate; let's see what Wen He says.

Talking face-to-face is definitely the most appropriate way, and it's also easier to convey some ideas.

But she is, after all, a girl.

Wen He hesitated for a moment before taking out her phone and said softly, "Then I'll add you."

"good!"

Soon, Li Chao heard a beep. After putting his phone away, he saw a new friend request.

"I'll head back now, we'll talk later." (This was confirmed.)

"Um."

Wen He watched Li Chao leave and then closed the door.

She was incredibly nervous; she still didn't understand why Li Chao had suddenly contacted her in the middle of the night.

Less than twenty seconds after I sat down on the edge of the bed, Li Chao sent me a message.

"Wen He, I've heard Nuan Yang mention you. We were in the same exam hall before, do you remember?"

Wen He: "????"

Did you take the exam in the same exam room?

"I...don't remember..." She really didn't know when she had been in the same exam room as Li Chao, and even if she had, it wasn't a big deal.

Li Chao's reply came quickly: "That day, after you handed in your paper, I also happened to hand it in, and I accidentally saw your answers."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I noticed that you got some of the harder questions right, but for the easier ones, you either didn't do them or just wrote something down randomly. This is very unusual. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do the easier questions but can do the harder ones."

When Wen He saw the message from Li Chao, her heart skipped a beat.

She was indeed controlling her score, and had been doing so since high school.

After all, her family doesn't give her a single penny, so she needs to do part-time jobs to earn her living expenses and future college fees.

As for other methods, she hadn't considered them.

Although her grades improved and some teachers at school might give her living expenses, or even directly contact her stepfather, she really hated the feeling of being pitied.

She lived her whole life in pity. Her biological mother raised her and felt it was a blessing, so she could vent her anger and abuse on her without restraint. Her stepfather was even more absurd and outrageous.

Because of her poor academic performance, she could skip classes without any problem, since the teachers in the worst class wouldn't really care.

"Are you trying to threaten me?"

She replied with that sentence almost subconsciously.
