Chapter 379 After the Fierce Battle
After leaving home, Lin Chuyue felt as if a heavy stone had suddenly been placed on her, the weight in her heart almost suffocating her. She returned to her apartment, her body exhausted as if she had just gone through a fierce battle, but Lin Zhengguo's cold words kept echoing in her mind.
She knew full well that she had completely sided with another side. Her decision also meant a complete break with her father, a path from which there was no turning back.
Is everything under her control?
Lin Chuyue walked to the window, gazing at the city lights, and murmured to herself, "Everything will change."
She knew that Shen Fang's death was just the tip of the iceberg; those behind it were her true enemies. Li Zhanchuan, Gu Yanchuan, and even herself, could not escape this storm. And she was already standing at the eye of the storm.
Just then, the doorbell rang, breaking her reverie. Her heart skipped a beat, and she went to the door and opened it.
Standing at the door was Li Zhanchuan.
He was tall and imposing, with sharp, piercing features and a deep, calm gaze. When he saw Lin Chuyue, a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes, but it quickly vanished, replaced by cold indifference.
"Why are you here?" Lin Chuyue was taken aback for a moment, then stepped aside.
Li Zhanchuan nodded slightly, walked into the room, glanced around, and finally landed on her face: "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Without waiting for her response, he sat down on the sofa and rubbed his temples wearily: "Now that you've made your decision, there's no going back. What we need to face next are even more challenges."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly, walked to the sofa and sat down, asking in a low voice, "What should we do about Shen Fang's matter?"
Li Zhanchuan's eyes darkened: "Shen Fang's death is very suspicious, and we must investigate it as soon as possible. She is not just an ordinary mastermind; there may be a larger force behind her. Your father may know something, but he will never tell you easily."
"How did you know?" Lin Chuyue did not avoid his gaze and met his eyes directly.
Li Zhanchuan's lips curled up slightly. "I can tell that your father has been in contact with Shen Fang more than once, and you should also know that Shen Fang's position in the Lin family is not to be underestimated."
Lin Chuyue's heart sank upon hearing this. She knew her father's dependence on Shen Fang, and that Shen Fang's every move had almost bypassed her notice. However, as time went on, she realized that she had been manipulated by these people all along.
"What has he been doing all this time?" Lin Chuyue asked almost in a low voice, her eyes filled with pain and confusion.
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He sighed, "He's compromising for his own interests. You're already in a very dangerous place, Lin Chuyue. You think you've made the right decision, but every step from here on out will be more difficult than you imagine."
Lin Chuyue didn't respond; her thoughts drifted back to her father's cold words from that day. She understood that her father wouldn't support her, and might even become her enemy. She thought of Gu Yanchuan, her former fiancé, the one who had always played the role of "savior" in her world. Gu Yanchuan's eyes had once been so warm, so powerful; and now, what were his feelings?
Just as she was lost in thought, Li Zhanchuan broke the silence: "You should no longer have any contact with your father, Lin Chuyue."
These words struck her like a hammer blow, making her jolted. She looked up at him, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "What do you mean?"
Li Zhanchuan looked at her calmly, his tone unwavering: "You've already stood on my side, on our side, so every step from now on is not open to hesitation. No matter how much Lin Zhengguo is your father, his current stance is destined to make him your enemy. If you continue to maintain contact with him, you will not only endanger yourself, but also put all our plans at risk."
Lin Chuyue paused slightly, remained silent for a moment, and finally said in a low voice, "I understand."
Li Zhanchuan's gaze seemed to deepen as he slowly spoke, "I know this is a difficult choice for you, but it's the best way. You need to make a decision as soon as possible."
A ripple of emotion stirred within Lin Chuyue, as a wave of inner turmoil and pain washed over her. She knew she could not turn back; once she made this decision, she would have to bear all the consequences.
"I will never have any contact with him again," she finally said through gritted teeth, her tone unwavering.
Li Zhanchuan nodded, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, but then his expression turned serious: "Next, we must arrange all the plans as soon as possible. I have already contacted some people and am preparing to completely uproot Shen Fang's backing. You must be ready to face anything at any time."
Lin Chuyue clenched her hands tightly, her resolve growing stronger. She knew the road ahead was fraught with thorns, and that even more betrayals and challenges might await her, but there was no turning back.
“I will be ready.” Her voice was resolute, as if she had become one with the storm.
However, deep down she had a feeling that she was being pushed into an abyss from which she could not escape. That abyss was not only the enemies she had to face, but also the things she had to give up, including her past and family ties.
But she also knew that she had no other choice. Every step from here on out was fraught with unknown risks, and all she could do was bravely move forward.
