The two of them finalized their plan and sprang into action.
Ethan Yin went to help Sam Shang, regaining control of the Shang Family.
Cherry Miller went to find Sam Shang and offer him some advice.
“Sam, do you trust me?” Cherry sis sat down in front of Sam Shang, her smile a little too sly. Sam always felt Cherry sis was up to something today.
Meanwhile, Ethan Yin was giving advice to Sam Shang.
“Uncle Sam, buying up stocks isn’t enough. You’ve been away from the country for years, and most of your old loyal subordinates have either left or retired. Right now, the one in charge of the Shang Family is officially the old madam, but actually, I heard every order comes from her assistant, Qing. If a single word gets changed in those orders, the meaning can be completely different.” Ethan Yin said, “From my investigation, this Qing assistant is quite ambitious—he probably wants the whole Shang Family for himself.”
Sam Shang wasn’t completely unprepared.
Hearing Ethan Yin’s words, he sneered, “That Qing assistant is young but greedy. The Shang Family isn’t something he can swallow.”
Ethan Yin smiled, “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help you, Uncle Sam.”
Sam Shang patted Ethan Yin’s shoulder, “You work in the shadows, I’ll act in the open. First, let’s sideline the Shang Group’s management.”
“I won’t let you down.” Ethan Yin exchanged a look with Sam Shang, and they both laughed.
The current power holders in the Shang Family heard Sam Shang was back, and they were all more nervous than ever.
Sam Shang was coming in strong!
It was obvious he was here to seize power!
These people had controlled the Shang Family for years, skimming off who knows how much.
If they got caught, it would be a disaster.
So, the group gathered to discuss how to handle the situation.
They even made fake accounts, ready to show Sam Shang if needed.
But they waited and waited—Sam Shang never made a move. He acted like nothing was wrong, just spending his days reconnecting with old friends over food and drinks.
Qing the assistant and the others were nervous at first.
“Cherry sis, I’ll do exactly as you say! Cherry sis, you’re like my real sister!” Sam, usually introverted, was now much livelier—finally acting her age.
Cherry Miller looked at him with satisfaction.
That’s right.
This is how a kid should be.
Meanwhile, Ethan Yin was giving advice to Sean Kerr.
“Uncle Sean, buying up stocks isn’t enough. You’ve been away from the country for years, and most of your old loyal subordinates have either left or retired. Right now, the one in charge of the Kerr Family is officially the old madam, but actually, I heard every order comes from her assistant, Qing. If a single word gets changed in those orders, the meaning can be completely different.” Ethan Yin said, “From my investigation, this Qing assistant is quite ambitious—he probably wants the whole Kerr Family for himself.”
Sean Kerr wasn’t completely unprepared.
Hearing Ethan Yin’s words, he sneered, “That Qing assistant is young but greedy. The Kerr Family isn’t something he can swallow.”
Ethan Yin smiled, “I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help you, Uncle Sean.”
Sean Kerr patted Ethan Yin’s shoulder, “You work in the shadows, I’ll act in the open. First, let’s sideline the Kerr Group’s management.”
“I won’t let you down.” Ethan Yin exchanged a look with Sean Kerr, and they both laughed.
The current power holders in the Kerr Family heard Sean Kerr was back, and they were all more nervous than ever.
Sean Kerr was coming in strong!
It was obvious he was here to seize power!
These people had controlled the Kerr Family for years, skimming off who knows how much.

But they waited and waited—Sean Kerr never made a move. He acted like nothing was wrong, just spending his days reconnecting with old friends over food and drinks.
Qing the assistant and the others were nervous at first.
But when they saw Sam Shang doing nothing, one by one, they relaxed.
“After twenty years of comfort, Sam Shang must have lost his edge.” Qing said disdainfully, “He’s just bluffing.”
A senior manager said worriedly, “Qing, you’re young, you don’t know what Sam Shang was like. Back then, he was one of the Three Musketeers with Ethan Yin and Joe Qi. He’s not someone without tricks.”
“So what?” Qing replied. “We’ve seen it ourselves—Sam Shang hasn’t done a thing, not even checked the accounts. He’s not a threat. You should hurry up and grab more money.”
The managers looked at each other. None of them shared Qing’s optimism.
They all felt Sam Shang was planning something big.
Sam Shang really was spending time with old friends, reconnecting.
It wasn’t just about eating and drinking—he was rebuilding his old network.
With Ethan Yin vouching for him, even contacts he hadn’t seen in twenty years quickly reconnected.
Everyone could see it clearly—Ethan Yin was determined to help Sam Shang take back the Shang Family.

Going against Ethan Yin? That’s suicide.
So even those unwilling to help Sam Shang definitely didn’t dare oppose her—they just chose to stay neutral.
To take back the Shang Family, both power and connections are equally important.
While Sean Kerr was busy networking, Ethan Yin started arranging for people to manipulate the Kerr Family’s stocks. First, rumors spread about internal losses and several subsidiaries going bankrupt, then a massive sell-off of Kerr shares triggered a price crash. Next, news broke that the trouble in the subsidiaries was affecting the main company, which also began selling off assets.
With all this, Kerr Family’s stock kept dropping—everything was in the red.
Ethan Yin held a significant amount of Kerr Family stock.
With his sell-off, nothing could stop the plunge.
“How did this happen? Who’s causing trouble behind the scenes?” Qing was so anxious he could barely sleep, grinding his teeth in anger. “Who’s so ruthless, targeting the Kerr Family?”
A manager rushed in and said, “The stock hit its limit down again today! Everyone’s panicking—no one listens to our explanations anymore!”
Just then, another person rushed in: “Bad news! The audit team is here—they say there are problems with the Kerr Group’s accounts and they want to audit the past few years’ finances and taxes!”
Qing’s face changed. “What? Where are they?”
“They’re already at the company!”
“This is bad!”
Qing hurried to the company, but before he even reached the building, he saw a huge crowd gathered outside.
Many people were shouting, “The Kerr Family is going bankrupt! Fake accounts! They lied to shareholders! Sell your stocks now!”
“Don’t listen to this guy! The Kerr Family isn’t going bankrupt!” Qing was sweating nervously, shouting, “Someone’s spreading rumors because they don’t like us. I’ll get a lawyer and sue them!”
“What do you know? The Kerr Family just sold the Rongcheng property! Isn’t that bankruptcy?” someone yelled. “Everyone knows that land is worth billions! It’s the Kerr Family’s last asset—they’d never sell unless they had to!”
Qing panicked. “What? Sold it? No way!”
The person pulled out their phone, opened the news app, and showed Qing: “See for yourself!”
On the phone, the news headline was clear: “N City’s Kerr Family suspected of bankruptcy! Massive asset sales underway, including the Rongcheng property—over 300 billion cashed out...”
Qing’s vision went black. He staggered out of the crowd, shouting, “Go find the old madam—quick!”
Qing stumbled back to the Kerr Family, found the old madam, and burst into tears: “Madam, it’s terrible! Something’s happened to the Kerr Family!”
The old madam heard the news, rolled her eyes, and fainted on the spot.
The Kerr Family was thrown into chaos and rushed her to the hospital.
As soon as they left, reporters snapped photos of everything.
Local news notifications kept popping up—every story was about the Kerr Family.
Basically, all the media were predicting the Kerr Family’s downfall.
Look, the Kerr Family really is going bankrupt—the chairman even fainted! Even with Sean Kerr back, it’s hopeless~
Shareholders panicked—afraid their money would be trapped, they rushed to sell.
So, when the market opened the next day, everyone dumped their stocks.
The managers who had schemed with Qing saw things going south and quietly started selling their own shares too.
There really were problems with the company’s accounts.
Afraid of getting caught, they planned to run before it was too late.
You need money to run away.
So, behind Qing’s back, they quietly sold off all their shares.
When the Kerr Family’s stock hit rock bottom, someone started buying up shares in secret.
And the purchases were huge.
Tens of billions, even hundreds of billions at a time.
Finally, the relentless drop in the Kerr Family’s stock price was stopped.
But even so, people still worried the Kerr Family would collapse, and kept selling.
That person just kept buying, like a bottomless pit, throwing money in without stopping.
