Chapter Two: A Hundred-Million Limit, One Human Life

At 1:37, a man identifying himself as Tianheng's vice president began a livestream. He alleged that the target's key patent belonged to Qiming and that the supposed overseas license was forged. Tianheng collapsed. Qiming shot to its upper limit. Lin sold before the second limit-up session could open, taking his net assets to thirty-six million. But the deviation rate did not stop. It jumped from 4.7% to 9.2%. “Something's wrong,” Lin whispered. Tang had found the next report. “The whistleblower just jumped from the livestream building. But his wife says he was asleep at home half an hour ago.” One man in two places. The profit happened first. The future then forced a cause into existence.
