I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

Chapter 463 - 276: Alarmed the Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Carrying bags out of the mall, most of the items inside were Li Xiang’s.

After placing clothes into the car, Li Xiang held Lin Feifei’s hand and said, "Now that I’ve finished shopping, let’s take a look at jewelry for you. We’re getting married next year, so let’s buy the jewelry."

"Let’s wait on the jewelry for now. We just renovated the house, and we don’t really have money now."

Lin Feifei thought she knew how much money Li Xiang had, which was mostly spent on renovations, and there was still a final payment left. They needed money for many things, so spending it on jewelry wasn’t wise.

"Who told you I don’t have money? Check your stock account."

"Stock account?"

Lin Feifei was puzzled, why look at her stock account?

Her account was a mess, what’s there to look at?

Though a bit curious, since Li Xiang suggested it, she obediently took out her phone.

Although "Little Mu" operated the account, Lin Feifei could log in anytime. After she withdrew money for Li Xiang, she hadn’t logged in since.

Opening the app, she was shocked by the balance: "The one million I gave you, did you use it to trade stocks again?"

Seeing the million still in the stock account, Lin Feifei felt wronged. She specifically said the money was for renovations, not for Li Xiang to trade stocks. So she felt deceived when he secretly invested it back into the market.

"Wait, if the million is in the account, how did you pay for the renovations?"

Suddenly, Feifei realized the money was meant for the renovations, and it was indeed paid out. How did he have the funds?

Li Xiang smiled and said, "Look at your current return rate."

Lin Feifei clicked to view returns and was stunned. A 23% return rate.

How is that possible?

She skeptically checked the earnings, and the constant trades and profits made her doubt if it was her account.

"So you’ve been trading stocks every day? How can you forsake the important for the trivial? Your career is going so well, why trade stocks? If you really lack money, tell me, I’ll sell the villa in Jinling. I don’t want you taking the wrong path."

Seeing daily trades in the account, Lin Feifei mistakenly thought Li Xiang hadn’t been working and was only focused on stocks, making her very disappointed. Sure, he made some money, but compared to his career, what was it worth?

She didn’t want Li Xiang abandoning his foundation, being only money-minded.

Seeing Lin Feifei almost in tears, Li Xiang embraced her, "Silly girl, how could I be trading stocks daily? Let me explain. I’ve developed a smart program recently; it can trade automatically and make money daily. What you see is all done by the smart program. Professor Ye from the Shenwei Supercomputer Research Center took a liking to this program and offered to use it at ten thousand a year."

"Really?"

Hearing Li Xiang’s explanation, Lin Feifei was skeptical.

"Look at the trading frequency, is that humanly possible? You see it just traded now, we were trying on clothes, I didn’t trade stocks, look if you don’t believe."

Lin Feifei checked the trades; the latest was ten minutes ago, during which they were shopping for clothes. Li Xiang was trying on clothes, with no time for stock market operations, making her start believing his story.

"Let’s not buy jewelry now. Go back and show me how your program is worth ten thousand."

With that, she dragged Li Xiang to the car.

"It’s ten thousand per year."

Li Xiang corrected her and got in the car unwillingly.

Since the intelligent program was already known, he saw no need to hide it from Lin Feifei.

Upon returning to their room, they went straight to the machine room, where Li Xiang pulled up the interface:

"Little Mu, Little Mu."

"I’m here, what can I do for you?"

"Bring up the stock trading model, I want to see your recent activities."

"Understood."

The workstation responded quickly, as expected from a machine assembled for over a hundred thousand.

The trading model opened, showing recent trades, one coinciding with what she’d seen earlier, making her trust Li Xiang’s words.

She might not understand much of it, but she grasped one thing: "So you’re saying all you need to do is set up the program, and the stock market will continuously generate income for you?"

"That’s correct."

"This is money-making, isn’t it illegal?"

"It’s not illegal, at most a grey area, but I’m not doing it anymore. I’ll give you back the one million, I don’t need money right now."

"Why stop? It seems to generate about sixty thousand a month, more than some make in a year."

Relieved upon hearing it’s not illegal, Lin Feifei was curious why Li Xiang would stop.

She forgot she had opposed stock trading earlier. Now seeing sixty thousand monthly without effort, it seemed tempting even while relaxing at home.

"This way of making money is still too slow and somewhat borderline, a grey legal area, not a good reputation. I now have new ways of income, faster than this."
