Chapter 490 A Player in the Game
The following morning, at the top floor of the Lin Group building, in the president's office.
Lin Chuyue had just sat down when an anonymous package was brought to her by her secretary.
"Mr. Lin, this was delivered this morning, and it's unsigned."
She frowned and gestured for her secretary to leave. The delivery bag was opened, and a stack of folders and a USB drive fell out.
She opened the document and read through it page by page, her previously calm expression gradually freezing.
—That was a detailed report on the flow of funds under her name, marked with words such as "fake contract", "internal connection", "suspected cash-out", and even the records of her privately supporting her mother's former subordinates were all dug up.
These things themselves are not actually illegal, but if someone with ulterior motives leads them to the direction of "misappropriation of company funds," they will definitely be made a big deal out of it.
Even more frightening, Lin Chuyue immediately recognized that most of this information only existed in the company's internal database or in her private email.
Her heart sank.
"Inner ghost."
She almost blurted out those two words.

Ten minutes later, Li Zhanchuan arrived, his expression cold and stern.
Who messed with your computer?
"I'm not sure yet, but it should be because Lin Yun came to my office under the pretext of delivering some documents last time and lingered for a while." Lin Chuyue recalled the details of that day, "She even pretended to ask me casually if my password was too simple."
“She may have installed a backdoor program.” Li Zhanchuan’s eyes were as cold as snow. “I’ve had someone check all of Lin Yun’s recent communication records to see if she has close contact with Gu Yanchuan.”
Lin Chuyue shook her head and said calmly, "She may not be listening to Gu Yanchuan. She may have another backer."
Li Zhanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "You mean... Shen Fang's people?"
Lin Chuyue nodded in a deep voice.
“I recently found a name called ‘Qin Zhuo,’ who was Shen Fang’s former assistant and a key figure in her past operations of those ‘project resources’.”
Li Zhanchuan frowned: "He has been missing for many years."
Lin Chuyue scoffed: "But Lin Yun's current high-profile confidence seems to suggest that someone is backing her up."
**
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the top-floor conference room of the Gu Group.
Gu Yanchuan held a recent report in his hand, his gaze steady.
"Are you sure that once these things are made public, Lin Chuyue's credibility within the group will collapse instantly?"
The man opposite nodded and sneered, "She's too high-profile. Just a little spark will be enough to cause her a lot of trouble."
"Alright." A cold glint flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes. "Then send it to the securities media and let the public opinion ferment first."
"Isn't she trying to gain a foothold by relying on Li Zhanchuan? I want to see if Li Zhanchuan will still stand by her side once her reputation becomes a burden."
The assistant hesitated for a moment: "But Li Zhanchuan has already affected the Qin family's shareholders and brought foreign investment to the Lin family. If you take action against him now, won't that..."
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes: "Don't worry, I'm not going to touch him, but her—the person Li Zhanchuan wants to protect."
He paused, then uttered a meaningful statement: "I'm still waiting for someone to make a move. Only then will Lin Chuyue truly know what it means to be betrayed and abandoned by everyone."
**
That evening, outside the Lin Group building, an explosive piece of news began to quietly circulate—
"Lin Chuyue, president of Lin's Group, is suspected of abusing her power and setting up private funding channels, suspected of 'cashing out internally'."
"Industry insiders revealed: Infighting among senior executives at Lin Group is ongoing, and the female CEO may face an audit investigation."
Several financial media outlets quickly reposted it, and within ten minutes it became a trending topic.
Ironically, among the accounts that shared this news was a familiar ID – “林韵Lynn”.
Lin Chuyue's phone vibrated, and upon seeing the forwarded content, she felt a deep sense of unease.
She finally realized that Lin Yun had completely betrayed her.
**
Nighttime, the Lin family's old house.
Lin Yun stood on the balcony and answered a number.
A deep, hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone.
“You did a good job. The next step is to get her out of the Lin family and completely lose her business influence.”
Lin Yun chuckled softly: "Don't worry, the more isolated and helpless she is, the easier it will be for her to... be used by you, just like I was before."
The person opposite paused: "Lin Yun, don't forget, your current position was also given to you by us."
A cold glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes as she said in a low voice, "Of course I won't forget."
"But I will never forget that she took everything that should have been mine."
**
At the same time, Li Zhanchuan received the news, and his face turned completely gloomy.
"Someone anonymously registered a company overseas, attempting to investigate the Lin family's assets by examining their financial chain."
"And that company... was once a member of the board of directors of the fund where Gu Yanchuan's mother served."
Li Zhanchuan stared at the document, his voice low and almost icy.
"I knew it, these people are in cahoots."
Lin Chuyue sat in her office, facing the dimly lit floor-to-ceiling windows, her eyes calm as still water.
The storm has finally arrived.
She knew that from this moment on, the relationship between her and them was no longer a game of strategy, but a life-or-death war.
But she will not back down.
