Chapter 441 The Mastermind
Gu's Group, Boardroom
Gu Yanchuan stepped into the conference room, his gaze cold and sharp as he swept over the directors present.
At the conference table sat more than ten shareholders, each with a different expression. Some avoided his gaze, some had calculating eyes, and some looked calm, as if everything was under control.
"Mr. Gu is here. Perfect timing. Let's get started."
The speaker was Cheng Zhaonian, the vice chairman of the board of directors and a long-time shareholder of the Gu Group. He had a past relationship with Gu Yanchuan's father, but had never truly stood on Gu Yanchuan's side.
Gu Yanchuan walked to his seat, sat down, casually flipped through the meeting materials in front of him, and said in a detached tone: "What kind of impromptu motion is this that is worth all of you coming all this way?"
Cheng Zhaoshen cleared his throat and said, "President Gu, there have been some disputes within the company regarding your decisions recently, so we would like to convene this extraordinary board meeting to ensure the company's stable development."
"Controversy?" Gu Yanchuan's lips curled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant coldness. "For you all to personally intervene, it must be quite a controversy."
Cheng Zhaonian paused slightly, then pushed the document in his hand in front of Gu Yanchuan: "This is the report we have compiled. Please take a look."
Gu Yanchuan glanced down at it, his eyes darkening slightly.
The document directly addresses his recent series of financial review decisions, especially his investigation into the company's internal cash flow, which has been labeled as "affecting the company's normal operations."
“President Gu, your actions have already caused dissatisfaction among many shareholders.” Cheng Zhaonian’s tone carried a subtle pressure. “Everyone feels that if this continues, it will affect the overall interests of the company.”
"so--"
He paused, then looked intently at Gu Yanchuan: "We hope you can temporarily relinquish your executive directorship and allow the board of directors to make decisions collectively until the turmoil subsides."
A brief silence fell over the room upon hearing this.
Everyone was waiting for Gu Yanchuan's reaction.
Gu Yanchuan put down the document, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.
A moment later, he suddenly laughed.
"Chairman Cheng, it seems you've made very thorough preparations this time."
His voice was low and slow, yet it carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.
Cheng Zhaonian's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "President Gu, everyone is doing this for the good of the company."
Gu Yanchuan glanced around and looked at the other directors at the conference table: "Is that so?"
His gaze was sharp as a blade, scanning each face with keen insight.
Several people lowered their heads slightly, seemingly afraid to look him in the eye.
But many more people showed a determined look.
Clearly, this motion to remove him from office was not unfounded, but rather a consensus had already been reached.
He was besieged.
Moreover, the person who made this move was clearly prepared!

Chess game
Gu Yanchuan's gaze darkened slightly, a cold smile already forming in his heart.
The essence of this motion is not about company interests at all, but a precise attack on him personally.
—Someone wants to weaken his power!
His investigation has touched upon the interests of some people, who clearly do not want him to continue his investigation.
If he is forced to relinquish power, his investigations will be completely halted, and the hidden corruption and financial problems will be thoroughly covered up.
more importantly--
The mastermind behind Black Scale is very likely hidden among these people!
This is not just a power struggle, but a life-or-death game!
He leaned back slowly in his chair and suddenly smiled.
"Chairman Cheng." His tone remained calm, yet carried a hint of meaningful laughter. "You want me to relinquish power?"
Cheng Zhaonian's expression remained unchanged: "It's only temporary."
"Ah."
Gu Yanchuan sighed softly, then his gaze turned as cold as a knife: "I'm sorry, I refuse."
There was dead silence in the conference room.
Everyone's expression changed.
Cheng Zhaonian frowned: "President Gu, you should think this over carefully—"
"I've thought about it."
Gu Yanchuan said calmly, "I am the executive director of the Gu Group, not someone's puppet."
"This proposal is unlikely to pass."
His tone left no room for argument, and his eyes held a coldness.
He will never relinquish power!

Lin Chuyue's bargaining chips
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyue is investigating the funding chain of "Black Scale".
After several days of intelligence gathering, she finally discovered a deeply hidden flow of funds.
These funds appeared to be legitimate investment projects, but upon closer analysis, she discovered that they were intricately linked to the private accounts of certain directors!
She sneered.
—Finally, we caught the tail!
She immediately dialed Gu Yanchuan's number.
"Hey."
When the call connected, Gu Yanchuan's voice was low and somewhat tired, but still as steady as a rock.
Lin Chuyue didn't waste any words and said directly, "I've found the evidence."
Gu Yanchuan paused slightly, then chuckled softly: "It seems today isn't too bad."
"Are you being targeted?" Lin Chuyue keenly sensed the deeper meaning in his tone.
"Ah."
Gu Yanchuan leaned back lazily in his chair, his voice carrying a hint of coldness: "Someone wants to force me to hand over power."
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Their methods are really direct."
“However…” she narrowed her eyes slightly, a smile playing on her lips, “their game is probably about to be turned around by us.”
Gu Yanchuan raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"
Lin Chuyue slowly said, "Black Scale's funding chain is related to certain people on your board of directors."
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
"This is really... interesting."

Counterattack Moment
That afternoon, the board of directors convened again.
This time, it was Gu Yanchuan's turn to initiate the motion.
He produced a detailed report on the flow of funds and laid it out directly in front of all the directors.
"Chairman Cheng, you just said that everyone is acting in the company's best interests?"
"Then why don't we take a look at where these 'benefits' have actually gone?"
Cheng Zhaonian's expression changed instantly.
