Chapter 606 Mother and daughter meet
Lin Chuyue did not choose to have the driver accompany her.
She stood alone in front of the most remote old pier in Haicheng. The night wind, carrying the damp smell of the sea, made her coat flutter, but her eyes were colder than the wind.
At the end of the dock, a dark blue sedan quietly pulled up, and a woman wearing a light camel-colored trench coat slowly got out.
Her steps were slow, her demeanor composed, her long hair styled in an updo, and her features delicate and elegant.
Every step she took felt like a long-awaited reunion.
Lin Chuyue showed no emotional fluctuation.
Until the woman walked up to her and spoke softly:
"Chu Yue."
Lin Chuyue looked at her quietly, as if she were looking at an antique that had been displayed for many years.
"Did you order the video to be distributed?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Yulan's face, then she smiled softly:
"You are indeed smart."
Lin Chuyue didn't respond, but went straight to the point: "You came back because you want to take back 'everything' that's on me, right?"
This statement is like a knife, piercing straight to the heart.
Chen Yulan paused, but her eyes did not show anger. She simply sighed slowly, "You were indeed wary of me all along."
"I don't blame you. I've been gone for too long, and you've gotten used to carrying on on your own."
"But do you know? When you were little, you loved to snuggle in my arms and sleep."
"The year you were born, it happened to be raining just as hard—"
“You’re mistaken,” Lin Chuyue interrupted coldly. “I was only one year old when you left. I don’t remember anything.”
Those memories belong to you alone.
Chen Yulan's smile froze for a few seconds.
She lowered her head slightly: "That's true, it's better if you don't remember. In those years, I wrote you letters while I was running for my life."
"None of the letters were ever sent."
"Because I know that as soon as I show up, you will be used as a bargaining chip."
"But you still became their shield."
Lin Chuyue's fingers tightened, her tone icy: "So you came back to avenge me?"
"Or is it just a return—to reclaim lost power?"
Chen Yulan stared at her for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly:
"Chuyue, I am so glad. You did not show weakness."
"You are very strong now, stronger than I imagined."
“But powerful people are not necessarily free.”
She raised her hand and handed over a document.
"This is the last piece of land hidden on the Lin family's books, which was transferred to a shell company three years ago. That company was held on behalf of your father, Lin Zhengguo."
"Now, that company has a new legal representative, Gu Yanchuan."
Lin Chuyue's eyes sharpened, and she suddenly looked at her.
"What do you mean?"
"You think he's just a passerby?"
Chen Yulan's tone was calm, yet it seemed as if undercurrents were surging:
"Do you know that the largest sum of embezzled funds transferred by the Lin family back then was laundered through a fund under the Gu family?"
"And that operational plan—was registered by Gu Yanchuan in the British Virgin Islands."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Yulan continued:
“I don’t want you to suspect anyone. I just want to tell you that you got to where you are today not as ‘clean’ as you think.”
"Someone has been laying a net over your head all along."
“I’m not back to take your things, but to help you—to see the truth.”
"I'm not here to take your place."
"I came here so that you would no longer be someone else's puppet."
Lin Chuyue's fingertips trembled slightly.
Chen Yulan approached gently, her voice becoming soft and gentle:
"Chuyue, remember, you are not alone."
"They all owe you."
"I want them to pay it back."
……
Upon returning to the headquarters of Vision, Lin Chuyue immediately retrieved all the real estate transfer projects of the Lin family over the past five years.
Sure enough, three years ago, a “South Bay Villas Project” that had been in Lin Zhengguo’s hands was transferred through three layers of ownership and finally ended up in the hands of a British offshore company called “AG Holdings”.
And this company is one of Gu's asset trusts in the UK.
Lin Chuyue stared at the rows of data, her face expressionless, but her heart sank little by little.
She pulled out the old diary left behind by Gu Yanchuan, which was filled with dense investment notes, recording every fund transaction he made during his studies in the UK.
She found the timeline from that year.
—This does indeed coincide with the timing of the Lin family's money laundering.
She remained silent all night.
It wasn't until dawn that she finally got through to Gu Yanchuan.
"where?"
"group."
"I have something to ask you in the conference room in ten minutes."
When Gu Yanchuan arrived, she was already sitting at the table.
As soon as he entered the room, Lin Chuyue tossed him a stack of documents.
It slammed down in front of him.
"AG Holdings, is that the shell company you set up back then?"
Gu Yanchuan's eyes turned cold.
Who did you meet?
Lin Chuyue scoffed: "You didn't answer the question."
"You want to hear this from me?" Gu Yanchuan's face turned cold. "She told you? Chen Yulan?"
“It’s her,” Lin Chuyue said clearly, “but you can deny it.”
Gu Yanchuan remained silent for a few seconds.
Finally, he spoke up: "I opened it."
Lin Chuyue stood up abruptly, her voice cold: "So you've been lying to me all along."
"You knew about the Lin family's transfer of funds back then all along, and you still tried to whitewash them?"
"Are you the same kind of person as them?"
Gu Yanchuan suddenly sneered: "Do you think I wanted to?"
“When I was fifteen, my father owed the Lin family an enormous favor, and he wanted me to use my investment fund to help them launder some money.”
“If I don’t do it, he will auction off my mother’s only property and force her to jump off a building.”
“This isn’t the first time Lin Zhengguo has done something like this—I survived because I compromised.”
“I did start AG Holdings, but I also left all the evidence.”
"I'm waiting for the right opportunity."
"And now—the time has come."
He stepped forward and spoke, word by word:
"Chuyue, I stand with you."
"I did not lie to you."
"The only people I lied to were those who deserved to go to hell long ago."
Lin Chuyue stood there, silent for a long time.
After a long silence, her gaze darkened, and her voice became so low it was almost inaudible:
"You know what? I can't trust anyone anymore."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.
There was an unyielding silence between them.
……
That night, Lin Chuyue received a message from Chen Yulan:
I have something you should see.
She sent me a photo.
The photo shows a parent-child registration file—registered by Chen Yulan, with "Lin Chuyue" clearly written in the child's information section, while the "father" section next to it is blank.
Chen Yulan sent a second message:
Lin Zhengguo was never your father.
The real father is Shen Yao, the eldest son of the Shen family—Shen Yan's elder brother.
Lin Chuyue held her breath.
In the instant she was stunned into a daze, another text message quietly popped up on the other end of her phone.
But it wasn't posted by Chen Yulan.
Instead, it was an unfamiliar number:
Lin Chuyue, Chen Yulan isn't here to save you—she's here to rebuild the Shen family.
She is the new successor. You are the last card in her hand.
