Chapter 386 Old Dreams Reappear
Lin Chuyue stared at the photo on the computer screen, her gaze gradually becoming sharp.
This photograph is clearly a scene from the scene of her death in her previous life. The pool of blood, the flames, the fallen body—every detail is so clear it's breathtaking.
Her fingertips were slightly cold, but she quickly calmed down.
The other party's purpose was obvious—to warn her, or more directly, to threaten her.
But why does this person have this photo?
In her past life, her death was ruled an accident, and the mastermind behind this "accident" was none other than Shen Fang. But now that Shen Fang is dead, it means that someone knows the truth of what happened back then and wants to use it to break her psychological defenses.
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath and calmly analyzed the situation.
She quickly checked the email's source; however, the sender was very cautious, as the email was sent through a multi-layered encrypted anonymous server, making it impossible to directly trace the sender.
"Smart," she murmured to herself.
Unfortunately, the other party underestimated her.
She has died once and has been reborn. She will no longer be bound by the shadows of the past, nor will she be scared away by a single photograph.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Li Zhanchuan, I need you to help me check an email."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then a deep male voice said, "Send it to me."
Lin Chuyue quickly forwarded it.
Less than five minutes later, Li Zhanchuan called again, his tone icy: "This email came from overseas, and the server is located on a private network cluster in Southeast Asia. It went through more than a dozen jump servers, making it difficult to directly pinpoint the sender."
Lin Chuyue was not surprised: "They obviously don't want us to find them."
Li Zhanchuan scoffed: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever."
"Who do you think it is?" Lin Chuyue asked softly.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then someone said, "Those people Shen Fang left behind before she died, or... those who secretly helped her."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "If it's the latter, then it means that this matter is more complicated than we imagined."
Li Zhanchuan's tone was cold: "Whoever it is, he made a fatal mistake."
"what?"
He shouldn't have touched you.
Lin Chuyue chuckled lightly: "So domineering?"
Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice, "No, I am stating a fact."
She couldn't help but glance at him slightly, and could tell that he wasn't joking, but genuinely intended to kill her.
“I’ll come see you tonight,” he suddenly said.
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback: "So soon?"
“Since they’re so eager to come to you, we should speed things up too.” Li Zhanchuan’s voice was deep and resolute. “What needs to be resolved must be resolved.”
Lin Chuyue nodded slowly, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

That night, Li Zhanchuan arrived at Lin Chuyue's apartment.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the printed photo on the table. His gaze darkened slightly as he walked over, picked it up, and gently ran his fingertips over the bloodstain.
“The photos are real,” he said.
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow: "I know."
He looked up at her: "Aren't you scared?"
Lin Chuyue smiled calmly: "What's the use of being afraid? I died in my previous life, this little thing can't scare me."
Li Zhanchuan stared at her for a while, then suddenly chuckled softly, "You're calmer than I thought."
Lin Chuyue raised her lips: "This isn't calmness, it's that I have no way out."
Li Zhanchuan didn't say anything more, but simply put the photo back on the table and slowly said, "We can set up a trap."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback: "What kind of situation?"
Li Zhanchuan's gaze was deep as he slowly said, "Since they want to use your past to threaten you, then we'll create a false impression for them—let them think that their threat has succeeded."
Lin Chuyue instantly understood his meaning, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "You want me to deliberately reveal a flaw to lure them out?"
“Not bad.” Li Zhanchuan slowly approached her and said in a low voice, “But this time, it’s not just about luring them out, but about… completely eliminating them.”
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a meaningful smile curving her lips: "Alright, then let's play a big game together."

Meanwhile, in a secluded villa somewhere.
The man sat on a large sofa, toying with a lighter in his hand. The flickering light made the smile on his face seem unpredictable.
"Her reaction was calmer than I expected."
The man in black stood to the side, speaking respectfully: "Boss, should we continue applying pressure?"
The man flicked the lighter in his hand lightly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "No rush... the prey will only reveal its truest reaction when it is slowly driven to its limit."
He closed the lighter, his eyes deep and unfathomable: "Keep an eye on her. I want to see how long she can hold out."
