At midnight, the city lights shone brightly, but an invisible gloom hung over Lin Chuyue's office.
The anonymous text message on the table seemed to serve as a warning, reminding her that she was being watched.
Li Zhanchuan sat opposite her, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, his brows furrowed in thought: "Since the other party dares to threaten you directly, it means they already have enough leverage."
Lin Chuyue scoffed lightly: "Then let me see if they have enough chips to make me pay the bill."
Her tone was calm, but the coldness in her eyes revealed her wariness.
At that moment, the assistant rushed in, looking anxious: "Mr. Lin, we've found out where the funds are going!"
Lin Chuyue's gaze sharpened: "Speak."
The assistant handed over a document, his voice steady: "Six months ago, there was a large transfer of funds from the 'LX-3218-w' fund, which ultimately flowed to an overseas holding company. However, after layers of money laundering, these funds were eventually... used for private equity acquisitions, with the target being the core shares of the Lin Group!"
Lin Chuyue's pupils shrank suddenly, and Li Zhanchuan's brows furrowed slightly.
"In other words, is this money being used by someone to secretly acquire shares in the Lin family?" Lin Chuyue asked coldly.
The assistant nodded: "The clues we've found so far suggest that this company is likely backed by Shen Fang's former subordinates!"
The air instantly condensed.
Lin Chuyue gently stroked the document with her fingers, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"What a clever scheme," she whispered. "Even after Shen Fang's death, they still dared to try to regain control of the Lin family in this way."
Li Zhanchuan's eyes turned cold: "The person behind the scenes is not only manipulating the shares, but is probably also the key to Lin Yun's kidnapping."
“That’s right,” Lin Chuyue said slowly. “This is not just a struggle for interests, but a life-or-death game.”
Her existence has become the biggest obstacle for these people to seize the Lin family's assets.
What they wanted was not only the Lin family, but also her life.

Sudden car accident
Just as Lin Chuyue decided to further investigate the forces behind the scenes, an unexpected event occurred.
The next day, just as Lin Chuyue's investigation team had identified some of the manipulators behind the funds, devastating news arrived—
Two key investigators responsible for tracking the flow of funds were involved in a serious car accident on their way to the bank to retrieve records, and their fate is unknown!
Lin Chuyue was in a meeting in her office when she received the message. The moment her phone vibrated, her heart tightened.
"What's going on?" she quickly answered the phone.
The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with terror: "Mr. Lin, Attorney Song and Analyst Zhou were hit and overturned by a black SUV on their way to the bank. They are currently receiving emergency treatment!"
Lin Chuyue suddenly stood up, and her aura instantly turned cold.
Li Zhanchuan noticed her unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong?"
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned cold: "They've made their move."
Li Zhanchuan's eyes darkened, and he immediately stood up: "Let's go."
The two rushed to the hospital.

Premeditated murder
The atmosphere outside the hospital's emergency room was tense.
Attorney Song was admitted to the ICU with serious injuries, while Analyst Zhou, though not in life-threatening condition, suffered fractures in both legs, clearly indicating premeditated murder!
Lin Chuyue stood outside the ward door, her gaze deep and thoughtful.
Soon, the police investigation report arrived—
"This car accident was not an accident."
The driver was a professional criminal with an imposter identity. He fled the scene quickly after the incident, and the SUV involved in the accident was a vehicle that had just been deregistered two days prior. It was clearly a well-planned scheme!
Lin Chuyue's fingers slowly tightened.
She had already experienced too many conspiracies, but this time, the other party directly targeted those around her, clearly no longer intending to hide.
Li Zhanchuan stood beside her, his eyes cold and sharp: "This is a warning."
Lin Chuyue chuckled: "No, this is a provocation."

Counterattack Plan
Upon returning to the company, Lin Chuyue immediately convened her core team and began formulating a countermeasure plan.
"Since they want to secretly control the Lin family, then we'll expose them completely."
She picked up the documents on the table, her gaze sharp: "Starting today, we will initiate a share lock-up plan, freezing any suspicious shares within the Lin Group. At the same time, I want all transaction records related to 'LX-3218-w' to be made public."
The assistant was slightly taken aback: "Make it public?"
“That’s right.” Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes. “Since they’re plotting in the shadows, let’s shine the light on them.”
Once the flow of funds is exposed, the relevant companies will be investigated, and the mastermind behind it will no longer be able to hide.
And at the same time——
She took out her phone and dialed a number: "Have our private investigator track down Lin Yun's whereabouts."
"Yes." The other party accepted the order and left.

Night Standoff
That evening, Lin Chuyue drove away from the company alone, heading back to her villa.
But halfway there, a black sedan suddenly followed her car. At first, it kept its distance, but gradually, it increased its speed and began to close in!
Lin Chuyue immediately sensed something was wrong. She suddenly turned the steering wheel, trying to shake off the other party, but the other party pressed on step by step at an extremely fast speed!
Soon, a sharp bend appeared ahead. Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth, stepped on the gas pedal, and tried to shake off the vehicles behind her.
But the next second—
The other car suddenly crashed into the back of her car!
Lin Chuyue's car shook violently and almost went out of control!
She gritted her teeth and held the steering wheel firmly, but the other party was clearly after her life; the second impact was swift and deadly!
At the critical moment——
Another black SUV suddenly sped out and slammed into the pursuing vehicle from the side!
Lin Chuyue's car finally came to a stop. She looked up and saw that Li Zhanchuan was sitting in the driver's seat of the SUV that had saved her, his eyes extremely cold!
"Damn it..." He pushed open the car door and strode toward her.
Lin Chuyue got out of the car, her breathing slightly rapid, but her face remained calm.
"It seems they really want me dead," she said softly.
Li Zhanchuan stared at her, his voice low and dangerous: "Since they are not afraid of death, then I will let them know what real hell is like."
Lin Chuyue smiled gently: "Then—let's play along to the end."
