Chapter 484 Exchange
In Li Zhanchuan's hospital room, the medical equipment beeped incessantly.
Lin Chuyue sat on the edge of the bed, gently holding his hand. His body was still warm, but he remained unresponsive, like a sleeping statue.
The surgery was successful, but the doctor warned her that Li Zhanchuan's brain had suffered temporary hypoxia due to excessive blood loss, which could lead to temporary coma or even permanent damage.
"You promised me you'd always be there," she murmured, tears silently streaming down her face.
Outside the ward, Gu Yanchuan leaned against the window, coldly watching the star-crossed lovers, a mocking smile on his lips: "Sure enough, your weakness will always be him."
The secretary beside him whispered, "Lin Zhengguo has arrived at the airport and is preparing to return to China."
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Lin Chuyue, do you think you can win just by staying by his side?"
He took out his phone and dialed Lin Chuyue's number.
"I've temporarily saved Li Zhanchuan's life. But if you want him to wake up, you'll have to exchange something."
Lin Chuyue's eyes sharpened, her voice calm: "What do you want?"
Gu Yanchuan's tone was calm, but every word he said was piercing: "I want that piece of land your father owns—'West Suburbs of the Harbor'."
Lin Chuyue's breath hitched.
“That was left by my mother.”
“That’s why you should bring it up.” His tone was icy. “The land is in your father’s name, but the actual ownership belongs to your mother before her marriage. If you speak up, he will definitely waver.”
"Otherwise, I can make sure Li Zhanchuan never wakes up again."
Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth, her fingers turning white. She knew Gu Yanchuan wasn't just talking; he had the ability to back it up.
"You choose," he said calmly. "Give me your answer by tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the man on the bed, her heart aching.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyuan has already returned to China.
He stood in the spacious study of the villa, with sets of investigation data in front of him.
"Lin Chuyue has been in frequent contact with anonymous overseas accounts, with one transfer amounting to as much as £300,000," the subordinate reported.
"What is she doing?" Shen Qingyuan's eyes were dangerous.
"Our initial assessment is that you had someone hack into an offshore account that you previously controlled."
Shen Qingyuan smiled.
"She's getting bolder and bolder."
“Also,” the subordinate whispered, “she seems to have audio evidence left by your mother from back then.”
Snapped!
The teacup in Shen Qingyuan's hand was smashed to pieces.
"She's courting death," he said coldly.
"Then what's next?"
Shen Qingyuan sneered: "First, completely sever her relationship with Lin Zhengguo and his daughter."
"To leave her...with no way out."
-
The Lin family's old house, night.
Lin Zhengguo stood by the window, gazing at Lin Chuyue.
"You suddenly came to see me just for that piece of land in the 'Western Suburbs of the Harbor'?" He frowned. "That land was left to you by your mother. She entrusted it to me for safekeeping before she passed away, and it can only be transferred when you turn thirty."
Lin Chuyue said in a deep voice, "Dad, I need it right now."
"Why? What have you and that kid Li Zhanchuan gotten into this time?" Lin Zhengguo's tone was displeased.
Lin Chuyue remained silent.
"You think I don't know? You wanted this land because Gu Yanchuan gave it to you, didn't he?"
Lin Chuyue looked up in shock.
Lin Zhengguo sneered: "I just received a call from the Shen family the day before yesterday, saying that Gu Yanchuan is currently launching an asset siege against the Lin family. You're still thinking of handing him a knife?"
"No!" she hurriedly explained, "I—"
"Enough!" Lin Zhengguo interrupted her. "Your mother said before she passed away, 'Don't trust the Gu family.' What you're doing now is gambling with the Lin family's lives!"
"I disagree. I will absolutely not touch this land!"
Lin Chuyue's face was pale: "Dad, Mom loved me the most when she was alive. If she were still here, she would definitely..."
Lin Zhengguo's eyes widened, and he said coldly, "If she were here, she would be utterly disappointed!"
These words, like a sharp sword, pierced her heart.
Lin Chuyue stood up, her eyes red-rimmed, but said coldly:
"Okay, then I won't ask you anymore."
"I'll figure it out myself."
After saying that, she turned and left, her back view thin but exuding a resolute air.
-
As soon as she left the old house, a black car quietly followed behind her.
At the street corner ahead, Shen Qingyuan's assistant was reporting in a low voice:
"We have arranged for her to have a confrontation with Lin Zhengguo tonight. At the same time, we have anonymously sent the video of her dealing with the hacker to the regulatory bureau."
Shen Qingyuan's gaze was sharp as a knife: "From today onwards, she is a 'smuggling suspect' on the entire internet."
"I want to see if Li Zhanchuan will still protect her after he wakes up and sees the mess she left behind."
-
the next day.
As soon as Lin Chuyue stepped into the company, she saw news scrolling on the big screen:
"Lin Chuyue, head of a well-known traditional Chinese medicine health and wellness company, is suspected of illegal cross-border money transfers. The police have opened a case for investigation..."
The entire company was in an uproar, and the employees looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is it fake?
"Look at that photo, it doesn't look photoshopped..."
Lin Chuyue's face turned pale, and she rushed back to her office, only to see the public relations manager looking very nervous: "President Lin, the reporters outside are already blocking the door, and the board of directors wants you to go there immediately."
She nodded, trying to calm herself down.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she entered the boardroom, she saw an uninvited guest—
Shen Qingyuan.
He was wearing a dark suit, his smile was gentle, but his eyes were sinister.
"Chuyue, it's been a long time."
Lin Chuyue's face turned deathly pale, alarm bells ringing in her mind: "What are you doing here?"
“I am a shareholder,” he said with a faint smile. “You’ve forgotten that I own 3% of Lin’s Health.”
"If the board of directors wants to investigate you, then I naturally have to come too."
Her face stiffened.
He leaned closer and whispered, "You don't want to give me that recording, do you? Then I'll slowly, personally, destroy you."
-
The chapter ends with a cliffhanger:
Li Zhanchuan remains unconscious, and Lin Chuyue faces a dual crisis of public opinion and legal repercussions.
Lin Zhengguo firmly opposed the transfer of the land, and the father-daughter relationship completely broke down.
Shen Qingyuan officially joined the "hunting Lin Chuyue" plan and secretly took control of the situation;
Gu Yanchuan stood at the crossroads: should he continue to control Lin Chuyue, or... take the initiative to help her escape?
All the flames of war are heading towards Lin Chuyue.
