Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1337

The Sullivan Group’s share price had already went down by seventy percent in ten minutes.

If it plummeted down to eighty percent, the company’s stocks would get suspended again.

In the large conference room, several people had their eyes fixed on their computer screens while typing quickly on the keyboards.

The room was equipped with heating, which should help make them feel warm, yet they all looked grim as though the air had stopped flowing.

The air felt heavy and somehow cold.

The keyboard clicking went on and on.

It was the only sound that filled the room.

At the front, there were two large screens-one was the countdown timer, and the other showed the Sullivan Group’s stock market trend in real-time.

The fluctuations were apparent, and they moved every second.

“The stock trading has been suspended.” Wallace suddenly stopped what he was doing and broke the silence.

Seated in the front, he looked up at Ivan, who was standing near the two big screens with his back to them.

Of course, when everyone in the room heard Wallace, they came to a halt.

Apparently, around fifteen minutes since the stock market opened, the stock price of the Sullivan Group finally fell eighty percent, which triggered the market protection mechanism of the exchange.

Now, they were forced into a trading suspension.

Once the company stocks got suspended six consecutive times, the

Sullivan Group would compulsorily be delisted from the market.

If this happened, it would be the end for the Sullivan Group.

All the shareholders and tens of thousands of employees alike would take fright.

Ivan didn’t respond the first time and was still in a daze, so

Wallace got up from his chair and called him again.

“Ivan.”

This time, Ivan regained his senses and composure.

With a serious face, he turned to Wallace and asked, “What’s the current status?

Were you able to trace the guy we’re looking for?”

However, Wallace’s expression became grim as he sighed and shook his head.

“Their IP addresses are mostly overseas and scattered all over the globe.

They probably guessed that we would use the opening time to track their specific locations, so they have set up sturdy firewalls in advance,” Wallace said.

“These firewalls are actually not high- level programs and we didn’t need much effort to crack them.

The problem is that it took too much time… I’m sorry.

We couldn’t make it in time.” Wallace could only frown and look at the floor.

Hearing this, Ivan glanced at the others and also saw their disappointed faces.

They had been preparing for this moment since last night.

For the first fifteen minutes upon opening, they had been trying their best as if their lives depended on it.

“So, how much did they purchase this time?” Ivan looked at the man sitting on the other side, who was the one in charge of the risk management and financing department.

“Zero point eight percent, sir.

They have been trying to buy at the bottom.

For a while, we have successfully taken a bit from them and disturbed their strategy.”

Ivan crossed his arms.

“Add that to what they got before.

How much do they have now?”

“Three percent.”
