Chapter 362 Bloody Feud
Chapter 362 Bloody Feud
The banquet had reached its climax, but the tension was growing increasingly suffocating. The mysterious man's words were like a bombshell, instantly shattering all the undercurrents that had long been buried between the Lin and Gu families. In that instant, Lin Chuyue realized that this was not just her revenge, but the ultimate showdown of power, interests, and family honor.
Shen Fang's face was pale, her lips trembling, yet she stubbornly stared at the man who had suddenly appeared in the banquet hall. Lin Zhengguo seemed to have lost his usual composure; he coldly observed the mysterious man, but his heart was in turmoil. Clearly, this man's identity was far more complex than they had anticipated.
"Who exactly are you?" Lin Zhengguo asked in a deep voice, his eyes revealing obvious unease.
The mysterious man smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "You don't need to know who I am, you only need to know that I represent the true controller of the Gu family. You cannot change the situation today."
"The real controller of the Gu family?" Shen Fang scoffed. "You're nothing but a substitute. How dare you threaten us? It's laughable."
"Is it laughable?" The mysterious man's lips curled up slightly, his tone full of sarcasm. "My arrival today is not only to expose your tricks, but also to make you understand that while you think you have the upper hand, some people have already been quietly laying the groundwork behind the scenes, waiting for you to walk into their trap."
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened suddenly; these words seemed to hint at a larger conspiracy. Her gaze involuntarily turned to Li Zhanchuan, who stood beside her, his expression still calm, but a deep and complex emotion could not be concealed in his eyes.
“Lin Chuyue,” Li Zhanchuan whispered in her ear, “this is no accident. I’ve known for a long time that there’s a much larger chain of interests behind them, and today’s appearance has only revealed their true colors. What you need to do is deliver a fatal blow to them.”
Lin Chuyue nodded, her gaze gradually hardening. She knew that everything that had happened tonight far exceeded her expectations, but she also understood that she had to keep moving forward and could not back down.
Shen Fang's Lies
The lights in the banquet hall dimmed, and the atmosphere became tense. Everyone held their breath, seemingly waiting for a conflict to erupt.
"Do you really think that a mysterious person can break the Lin family's situation?" Shen Fang finally couldn't help but speak, her voice laced with sarcasm. "You're nothing but a substitute. The people behind the Gu family will never give up on me."
"Shen Fang, do you really think everyone is as blindly confident as you?" Lin Chuyue spoke coldly, her voice clear and powerful. "Everything you've done has already been exposed by me. The true controller of the Gu family is no longer someone you can control."
"Enough!" Lin Zhengguo stood up abruptly, his voice filled with anger. "Shen Fang, what are you saying? We're almost completely wiped out, and you still dare to say such things!"
Shen Fang's face turned pale instantly, but she still refused to bow her head, a hint of despair and ruthlessness flashing in her eyes. She knew that her former pride and confidence had completely collapsed at this moment.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Chuyue: "Do you think you can succeed? You're just a pawn. In the end, we will be the victors."
Lin Chuyue looked at her, a cold smile appearing on her lips: "Shen Fang, the game has already changed. You will understand today who the pawns are and who the players are."
At this moment, the mysterious man finally spoke: "Your time has come. The Lin family and the Gu family can never go back to the way things were. All your betrayals and conspiracies were destined to come at a price."
Shen Fang's eyes suddenly turned extremely dark, as if she realized that everything was beyond repair. She turned around abruptly and roared at Lin Zhengguo with uncontrollable rage, "Why are you still standing here! The Gu family has already come knocking on our door, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
A flicker of despair crossed Lin Zhengguo's eyes, but he remained standing there, like a captured prey, unable to resist.
"Enough." The mysterious man's voice boomed like thunder. "From this moment forward, all transactions between the Gu family and the Lin family are hereby declared invalid. All those involved will bear the consequences they deserve."
Final decision
A tense atmosphere hung in the air. Lin Chuyue stood beside the mysterious man, her eyes cold and ruthless. She knew that victory tonight was imminent, but it was far from over.
Shen Fang and Lin Zhengguo's defeat was inevitable, but Lin Chuyue knew that what she would face next was the even more intricate power structure within the Gu family. Gu Yanchuan might not be entirely on her side, and her revenge had only just begun.
Li Zhanchuan stood silently behind her, his hand gently resting on her shoulder, offering her support and strength. In that instant, she felt a sense of steadfastness and security she had never experienced before.
"Lin Chuyue," Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice, "every step from here on is a matter of life and death. Are you ready?"
Lin Chuyue's gaze hardened, and she slowly nodded: "I'm ready."
The mysterious man smiled slightly, a hint of unfathomable meaning flashing in his eyes: "Then, the real show is just beginning."
This night was destined to be a watershed moment between the Lin and Gu families. Lin Chuyue's path of revenge would also see its most intense clash in this blood feud.
