Chapter 344 In the Secret Vortex
Shen Fang slowly placed the documents in her hand on the conference table. The thick pages of the documents exuded a sense of oppression, and her eyes were as cold as ice, as if she had already foreseen the outcome of this confrontation.
Gu Yanchuan's gaze sharpened instantly, as if he had been fully prepared for Shen Fang's "methods." Lin Chuyue also felt tense; she could sense the subtle changes in the air. The Gu family's current situation was far more complex and dangerous than they had imagined.
"What do you mean by this?" Gu Yanchuan asked in a deep voice, his voice low and seemingly concealing an uncontainable rage.
Shen Fang's smile deepened as she slowly pointed to the text on the document: "The outside world may not know about the Gu family's internal financial situation, but I know that some people have quietly transferred most of the Gu family's assets to their own control. Your 'victory' is only temporary. Once this document is exposed, the trust and capital that the Gu family has accumulated over the years will collapse instantly."
Lin Chuyue glanced at the contents of the document. Although she couldn't understand the specific data, she could sense the oppressive atmosphere emanating from it that the Gu family's situation was far more critical than she had imagined.
Gu Yanchuan frowned deeply, but he did not get angry directly. Instead, he calmly asked, "Are you trying to threaten me with this, or do you hope to use this information to force us to compromise?"
“This isn’t a threat, it’s a fact.” Shen Fang’s tone remained calm, yet it carried an unparalleled coldness. “Many of the Gu family’s shareholders, especially the older ones, have already been drawn into these transactions. They’re not supporting you; they’re just trying to protect their own interests. Do you think you can single-handedly change the Gu family and carry out your so-called ‘reform’? You have no idea how many people and how many forces are controlling all of this behind the Gu family.”
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. The internal struggle within the Gu family had far exceeded her imagination. The shareholders' meeting and voting on the surface were merely a showdown, while the real conflict was the hidden struggle for interests.
"Who are you trying to hand the Gu family over to?" Gu Yanchuan looked down at the documents, his coldness growing more pronounced. "If this information is as you say, then you should understand even more clearly, Shen Fang, that the reform and future of the Gu family are not something anyone can easily control."
Shen Fang seemed unsurprised by Gu Yanchuan's reaction, instead offering a cold laugh: "Reform? The future? How could you possibly shake the Gu family's current power structure? You're just trying to change everyone's fate with an empty ideal. But reality never gives you such an easy opportunity, especially not to the Gu family caught up in these conflicts of interest."
Upon hearing this, the shareholders in the conference room frowned. Lin Chuyue felt the oppressive atmosphere, as if each second grew heavier. She knew that the confrontation between Gu Yanchuan and Shen Fang was no longer just a war between two people, but a tearing apart and restructuring of the Gu family's power structure.
Delicate situation
Gu Yanchuan suddenly turned around and stared coldly at Shen Fang: "Did you bring these things out to threaten me, or to win me over?"
Shen Fang smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes: "Of course I know you're not fully ready yet. But you do need to make a choice. You can rely on your shares and a few supporters to move forward, but whether you can lead the Gu family to new heights is anyone's guess."
Lin Chuyue knew that there was a deep sarcasm in Shen Fang's words; she clearly did not believe that Gu Yanchuan had the ability to completely change the Gu family's current situation.
Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "So, you want me to continue playing the role of your opponent in this game, waiting for you to gather all your strength so you can reap the benefits?"
"Gu Yanchuan, you're still too naive." Shen Fang's tone was disdainful. "I don't need you to be my opponent. You just need to make the right choice at the most crucial moment."
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened. She realized that Shen Fang didn't want to be the head of the Gu family; her goal was always to completely control the Gu family's power and resources. And Gu Yanchuan had clearly become a pawn in her game.
However, Gu Yanchuan was unmoved by Shen Fang's threats. His eyes remained calm and firm: "What you want is only the Gu family's wealth and power, not future prosperity. You are just trying to use your methods to keep the Gu family in this mess and to keep them under your control."
“You’re right, Gu Yanchuan.” Shen Fang’s tone suddenly softened. “You’re smart, and I don’t want to get entangled with you any longer. In any case, everything I’ve done is for the future of the Gu family, which is at least more practical than your so-called ‘ideals’.”
The atmosphere in the meeting room grew increasingly tense, with the shareholders' gazes shifting back and forth between the two men, as if an invisible war had already begun.
Lin Chuyue's decision
After the meeting, Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan walked out of the building, the atmosphere still heavy. She looked up at him, her eyes resolute: "Yanchuan, Shen Fang's threats are indeed unsettling. But we cannot back down because of this pressure."
A complex emotion flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes. He slowly nodded: "I know, Lin Chuyue. This battle is not only for us, but also for the future of the Gu family."
"So, what are you planning to do?" Lin Chuyue asked. She knew that Gu Yanchuan had already made a decision, but he hadn't fully expressed it yet.
Gu Yanchuan remained silent for a moment before finally speaking: "We can't wait any longer. Shen Fang, Cheng Dahai, and Li Jie—their threat goes beyond mere superficial conflicts of interest. These people aren't working for the Gu family's future; they're only after their own selfish interests."
Lin Chuyue's heart raced; Gu Yanchuan had made up his mind.
"What we need to do next is to put the future of the Gu family in the hands of truly capable people." A resolute look flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes. "This struggle is not only for us, but also for the Gu family, to completely break free from the shackles of these chains of interests."
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath. She knew this battle would be more complex and more dangerous. But she was no longer afraid. She decided to stand by Gu Yanchuan's side and face all challenges—no matter how difficult the future might be.
