Chapter 268 Finally at the End of the Road
Inside the taxi, Lin Yun stared intently at her phone screen, her pupils slightly contracting, her entire body frozen as if struck by lightning.
Her passport was frozen... she can't leave the country...
Her heart pounded, fear spread through her body like a venomous snake along her veins, and she could even feel the cold sweat seeping from her back and sticking to her clothes. A chilling despair swept over her, almost suffocating her.
Her fingers trembled as she swiped the screen, quickly tapping to check her bank account balance, only to be greeted by a bright red debt warning—
Your account has been frozen and no funds can be transferred.
Lin Yun's breath caught in her throat, and she gripped her phone tightly. She had lost even the most basic financial freedom! All her assets—even a bank card, and possibly even her property and vehicle—had been seized. She had become a completely penniless "poor person"!
She suddenly realized that she might not even be able to afford a taxi fare!
"No, it's impossible..." she murmured softly, her eyes unfocused, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and frantically dialed several acquaintances' numbers—
The first call went unanswered.
The second option is to hang up immediately.
The third one… Before she could even speak, the other person's cold voice rang out—
"Lin Yun, stop calling me! I don't want to get involved with you!"
beep--
The call was hung up directly.
She gripped her phone tightly, her lips trembling slightly with anger and fear. Those who had once surrounded her, flattered her, and fawned over her now avoided her like the plague, offering not a single word of comfort.
How dare they treat her like this?!
She suppressed her panic and finally dialed Zhao Mingxuan's number.
beep - beep -
This time, the call came through.
As if grasping at a last straw, she lowered her voice and tried to remain calm: "Mingxuan, I'm in a little trouble right now. Could you lend me some money? I... I promise I'll pay you back soon..."
A slightly mocking laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Yun, you don't actually think I'd help you, do you?"
Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly turned deathly pale: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Mingxuan sneered: "Your mother's case has already caused a huge uproar in the city, and everyone is avoiding it like the plague. You actually naively think that someone would be willing to help you?"
"I..." Lin Yun opened her mouth, her throat was terribly dry.
Zhao Mingxuan continued, "Gu's Group has completely kicked you out of the game. Your shares have been frozen, and you can't even access your bank account. What do you have to do to turn things around now?"
Lin Yun's nails dug fiercely into her palms as she forced herself to maintain her last shred of dignity: "Zhao Mingxuan, I'm the Zhao family's prospective daughter-in-law! Don't forget, you promised me you'd marry me!"
"Marry you?" Zhao Mingxuan scoffed. "Lin Yun, you probably haven't come to terms with reality yet, have you? The Zhao family was able to form an alliance with the Gu family through marriage because you were the young mistress of the Gu family. Now you're nothing. Do you think my parents will still agree to this marriage?"
Lin Yun's heart skipped a beat, and her mind went blank.
She had always thought that the Zhao family was her last resort, but Zhao Mingxuan's attitude now had crushed her last hope.
Her voice trembled: "You...you want to call off the engagement?"
Zhao Mingxuan said coldly, "This marriage has never been formally arranged, so you'd better not be too presumptuous."
"You—" Lin Yun's chest heaved violently, her face turning ashen. "Zhao Mingxuan, how dare you treat me like this?!"
"Heh, do you think you still have the right to boss me around?" Zhao Mingxuan chuckled, his voice icy cold. "I have good news for you. My parents have already found a new marriage partner. Don't bother me with your affairs anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was abruptly hung up.
Lin Yun stood there, her face pale, and her phone fell to the car seat with a thud.
She was abandoned by the Zhao family.
She was completely out of options!
Her breathing became rapid, her chest heaved violently, and an unprecedented despair gripped her.
She lost...she lost completely...
All her ambitions and schemes, in the end, left her with no one to rely on!

Lin Yun's Madness
The taxi driver glanced at her through the rearview mirror, frowned, and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
Lin Yun's thoughts were pulled back to reality. She stiffly looked up, her lips trembling, "Go...go to Shen Fang's apartment."
The driver didn't ask any more questions and continued driving.
Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at Shen Fang's apartment building.
Lin Yun hurriedly got out of the car, her steps unsteady as she rushed upstairs, and opened the door with trembling hands.
The room was dimly lit. After Shen Fang was arrested, no one lived here anymore. A thin layer of dust had accumulated, and the air was filled with a desolate sense of abandonment.
Lin Yun slumped onto the sofa, as if she had lost her soul.
She reached out with trembling hands and rummaged through the coffee table drawer until she finally found a bank card.
This is Shen Fang's hidden savings. Lin Yun remembers that there are at least several hundred thousand yuan in it!
Her hands trembled as she picked up the card, immediately pulling out her phone to check her balance—
But a line of text that popped up on the screen instantly filled her with despair—
The account has been frozen.
"what--!!"
She slammed her phone to the ground, her eyes bloodshot, and she was in a state of frantic breakdown!
She had no money, couldn't go abroad, no one was willing to help her, and the police were waiting for her to cooperate with the investigation... She was completely desperate!
Her gaze gradually turned cold, her fingers tightened little by little, and a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes.
Lin Chuyue...it's all Lin Chuyue's fault!
If it weren't for Lin Chuyue, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation!
Her heart was pounding, and only one thought occupied her mind—
Since she ruined herself, she will drag Lin Chuyue down to hell even if she dies!
With trembling hands, she picked up her phone, dialed a number, and said in a low, ruthless voice, "Get me a car and a gun... Yes, I want Lin Chuyue dead!"
