Chapter 600 The Gate of Counterattack
The tension in the boardroom of Vision Group had not completely dissipated.
Lin Yun, pale-faced, forced herself to remain calm as she walked out of the conference room, her steps faltering. Lin Zhengguo followed behind her, silent, his expression complex.
"Dad, do you really believe her nonsense?" Lin Yun stopped in her tracks, her eyes reddening. "She's framing me. She never wanted me to stay at Yuanjing in the first place!"
Lin Zhengguo frowned and said in a deep voice, "The information she produced is not simple."
"You can believe her if you want, I'll accept that." Lin Yun turned her head, her tone cold and sharp. "But let me tell you, Dad, if she dares to touch me, I'll make her pay the price!"
A flicker of pain crossed Lin Zhengguo's eyes. He knew that Lin Yun was no longer the little daughter he could control.
Lin Chuyue's decisiveness and her counterattacks are becoming more and more like those of Shen Fang.
"Yunyun, you should stop." He sighed.
Lin Yun's eyes widened, and she abruptly pushed him away, her voice rising several decibels: "You think I should stop? She's about to send me to jail, how can I stop?"
Lin Zhengguo stared at her blankly, speechless for a moment.
He suddenly realized that his two daughters were both ruthless, and he could no longer control the situation.
……
At the same time, Lin Chuyue stood on the rooftop terrace of Yuanjing Building. The wind blew through her long hair as she looked down at the brightly lit city below, her expression serene.
Luo Zhen walked up to her, handing her a cup of coffee, her tone tinged with worry: "Are you sure you want to push things to this point? Shen Yan isn't an ordinary person; what if he turns on you—"
"I know." Lin Chuyue took the coffee, her tone flat. "But Lin Yun is already tied to him. If I don't touch them, will they let me go?"
“We currently have preliminary evidence of the offshore funding chain, but to truly bring Lin Yun down in court, we still need to find a piece of the puzzle.” Luo Zhen paused, “We need to find a way to obtain Shen Yan’s authorized fingerprint or electronic signature.”
Lin Chuyue took a sip of coffee, gazed at the night sky, and remained silent for a long time.
She suddenly turned her head: "Help me contact Shen Yan."
Luo Zhen was taken aback: "You're going to take the initiative to find him?"
“Yes,” she said calmly, “How about we play a game with our cards upside down?”
……
Two days later, Lin Chuyue met Shen Yan at the Xiangshan Club in the south of the city.
This was the first time she had taken the initiative to have a face-to-face, one-on-one contact with him since her rebirth.
Shen Yan, dressed in a dark gray suit, maintained his usual aloof and cold demeanor. A playful glint flashed in his eyes when he saw Lin Chuyue.
"Miss Lin suddenly wants to see me. Is it to discuss reconciliation?" He smirked. "Or... to admit defeat?"
Lin Chuyue sat down, tapping her fingers lightly on the table: "If I told you I have the USB drive left by your mother, Shen Fang, would you believe me?"
Shen Yan was taken aback, his eyes immediately turning sharp: "What did you say?"
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, took out a small metal box from her bag, and pushed it in front of him.
“I found it in a hidden compartment in her old house,” she said slowly. “She recorded many conversations between you and Lin Yun, audio, text, and details of those shadow accounts under your name.”
Shen Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he reached out to take it, but Lin Chuyue grabbed him.
"Don't rush," she said calmly. "I came to you not because I'm afraid of you, but because I want to make a deal."
Shen Yan squinted: "What do you want?"
Lin Chuyue's smile vanished as she looked directly at him: "I want you to hand over Lin Yun."
The air solidified instantly.
"Her?" Shen Yan sneered, "Aren't you and her close sisters?"
“We’ve already settled things.” Lin Chuyue’s voice was low. “You should understand that she’s already been abandoned. If you help her, you’ll only end up getting yourself killed as well.”
Shen Yan remained silent for a long time before suddenly chuckled softly, "You're becoming more and more like her."
Lin Chuyue didn't answer, but said, "You have two choices: one, continue to die with her to the very end; two, hand her over, and I can guarantee that your account information will not be leaked."
"Do you believe me?" Shen Yan suddenly leaned closer to her, his voice low and husky, "I can kill you right now and eliminate any future trouble."
“You won’t.” Lin Chuyue looked at him and calmly replied, “Because you’re not really on her side. You know she’s using you—just like Shen Fang used your mother back then.”
This blow struck Shen Yan's sore spot.
He remained silent for a long time before finally sitting back down in his chair and saying, "I need to think about it."
"You only have three days." Lin Chuyue stood up, leaving behind the words, "If I don't receive your authorization in three days, I will hand this USB drive over directly to the Financial Regulatory Bureau."
Shen Yan watched her departing figure, his fingers unconsciously stroking the metal box, his eyes swirling with complex and inexplicable emotions.
……
Meanwhile, Lin Yun was preparing her final blow.
Her personal assistant delivered a video to her—a secretly filmed video showing Lin Chuyue making internal contact with a high-risk capital institution in the UK. Although there was no clear evidence, it was highly open to interpretation.
Lin Yun sneered, imported the video into an anonymous email address, sent it to several media outlets, and then made a phone call: "Initiate the public opinion campaign."
Her eyes were fierce: "I want her to be completely disgraced."
……
Two days later, an explosive piece of news swept across the entire internet:
[Lin Chu-yueh, a senior executive at Vision Group, is implicated in a money laundering scandal involving British capital; she reportedly had a secret meeting with executives on the blacklist of venture capital funds.]
Major financial media outlets were in an uproar, and Vision's stock price fluctuated again.
Lin Chuyue's social media accounts and email were instantly besieged by a massive number of netizens, who accused her of being a "capital fraudster" and a traitor who "took foreign black money to launder the domestic economy."
Upon seeing the news, Lin Zhengguo angrily slammed down his cup: "What on earth did Chu Yue do?!"
While Luo Zhen contacted legal counsel and suppressed public opinion, Gu Yanchuan was surprisingly calm. He asked Lin Chuyue in a low voice, "Did you really see that person back then?"
Lin Chuyue nodded: "I met him once, but I have a recording. I've kept it for a long time."
"This is the key to turning things around." He paused. "If you trust me, I'll arrange a live broadcast."
Lin Chuyue looked at him, her eyes showing weariness for the first time: "Gu Yanchuan, do you know how tired I am?"
He gently took her hand and said in a soft voice, "But I'm here."
……
That night, Lin Chuyue appeared in a surprise live broadcast to personally respond to the rumors.
She played the entire recording of that meeting from back then, the content of which was clearly audible—she refused the other party's invitation to "launder money across borders" and stated clearly: "I will not take dirty money back to China."
Less than half an hour into the live stream, the comments section shifted dramatically, with numerous financial experts speaking out in support of Lin Chuyue. Several neutral directors of Vision also issued a statement saying they would thoroughly investigate Lin Yun's alleged fabrication of false information.
The situation has reversed once again.
Lin Yun finally realized that Shen Yan, whom she trusted most, had not contacted her for three days.
She dialed the number, but no one answered.
……
Late at night, Shen Yan stood in the study of the villa in the wind, a USB drive and sub-licensing documents left by Lin Chuyue spread out before him. He stared at them for a long time, finally chuckled softly, and picked up a pen—
He signed his name.
"Lin Chuyue, I want to see just how far you can go."
