Chapter 267 Unable to Leave the Country
The moment the door to the private room closed, Lin Yun's world completely collapsed.
Her mind was buzzing. Mr. Zhao's indifference, the text message on her phone, and Gu's decision to kick her out completely were all like a dense spider web, binding her tightly and making her unable to move.
Her fingers trembled as she tapped on her phone, wanting to double-check the anonymous text message, but as soon as she opened the screen, a new news notification popped up—
[Gu's Board of Directors Official Announcement: Lin Yun has been permanently removed from all management positions and all shares under her name have been frozen due to serious disciplinary violations!]
[Latest Developments: Shen Fang's case escalates further; list of those involved released, including Lin Yun!]
[Insider information: Lin Yun may face massive debts; her business reputation has collapsed!]
News reports flooded in, her name was scrutinized across major financial news outlets, and the comments section was filled with ridicule and accusations from netizens.
Serves her right. Who told her to be so arrogant before? Now the tables have turned!
[When Shen Fang was arrested, she should have realized that her good daughter wouldn't escape either!]
This woman has been abusing her position within the Gu family to bully others. Now that she's been kicked out, how long can she keep up this stunt?
[Shares frozen? Haha, Lin Yun probably won't even have a chance to make a comeback this time!]
How could this happen...? Why did it turn out like this?!
Her vision blurred, her whole body trembled violently, and her fingers could barely hold the phone. She gritted her teeth, forcing herself to calm down, but her reason was like a fragile string, taut with fear, ready to snap at any moment.
The Zhao family has abandoned her, the Gu family has completely severed ties with her, and now even Shen Fang, the last person she could rely on, has been imprisoned. Lin Chuyue has blocked all her escape routes; she has nowhere to go!
"How dare you treat me like this... What right do you have to treat me like this..." she murmured, her eyes bloodshot, her whole being disheveled and desperate.
She tried to call Shen Fang, but the screen displayed "Switched off". Her heart sank lower and lower, as if she had been thrown into an abyss.
No! She can't just end up like this!
She jumped up and rushed out of the club, her heels clicking loudly on the floor. A night breeze swept in, and she realized she was covered in cold sweat; her carefully applied makeup was mostly ruined, leaving her looking utterly disheveled.
She mustered her last breath and stumbled across the street. She needed to find a lawyer! If she could find the right lawyer, she still had a chance to turn things around!

The law firm turned away
Half an hour later, she stood at the entrance of Jiangcheng's most prestigious law firm, took a deep breath, tried her best to look less disheveled, and then pushed the door open and went inside.
The receptionist smiled politely and said, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"
Lin Yun suppressed her panic and tried to keep her tone calm: "I am Lin Yun. I need to see your lawyer Zhang. I have important legal matters to consult on."
The receptionist paused for a moment, then frowned slightly, seemingly hesitant: "Ms. Lin, please wait a moment while I confirm for you."
After saying that, she picked up the phone and dialed the internal line.
Lin Yun stood rooted to the spot, her heart pounding like a drum, her fingers clenching tightly into her palms. She knew the strength of this law firm, and Attorney Zhang was one of the most renowned commercial lawyers in the industry. If he was willing to take action, there was still a chance to salvage her case.
But she didn't have to wait long. The receptionist quickly hung up the phone and said to her with a smile, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, Attorney Zhang is not here today. You can make an appointment another day."
"Not here?" Lin Yun's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her voice a few decibels. "But I just saw his car parked downstairs on the street. Are you deliberately making excuses?"
The receptionist's smile remained professional: "I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, but our law firm treats all clients equally. Without an appointment, a lawyer will not see you."
Treat everyone equally?
Lin Yun sneered, realizing in her heart that this was meant to embarrass her!
She had been to this law firm before, back when she was the future young mistress of the Gu family. The lawyers treated her with utmost respect, afraid of neglecting her. But now, she was nothing more than a discarded pawn, and even the lawyers refused to see her!
Her face was ashen, her fists clenched tightly, and she finally turned and left without saying a word.
But just as she reached the door, her phone rang.
She quickly picked up her phone, and as soon as she saw the caller ID on the screen, her heart sank to the bottom—
Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau
Her fingertips trembled, and she almost dropped her phone.
Her face turned deathly pale, her teeth almost biting her lip raw, her fingers stiffly pressing the answer button, her voice trembling slightly: "Hello..."
A deep and authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone—
"Ms. Lin Yun, we are from the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau. Our investigation has revealed that you are involved in multiple economic crimes. Please come to the police station at 9:00 AM tomorrow to cooperate with the investigation."
boom--
Lin Yun's mind went blank for a moment. Her legs went weak, and she staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Police...economic crime...investigation...
Her lips trembled, her eyes filled with terror. She wanted to deny it, to explain herself, but she knew she couldn't refute it at all!
Her cash flow had long since dried up, and several of her investments over the years had resulted in total losses. After Gu's shares were frozen, she couldn't come up with a single penny! She originally thought she was just being kicked out, and the worst outcome would be nothing more than being destitute. But now, she was facing a police investigation?!
Will she be arrested? Will she go to jail?!
Horrible images flashed through her mind, especially the scene of Shen Fang's arrest, which was etched deeply into her memory. She didn't want to go in! She absolutely couldn't go in!
She frantically hung up the phone, rushed to the street, hailed a taxi, slumped inside, and cried out in a trembling voice, "To...to the airport!"
She has to leave! She can't just sit here and wait to die!
The driver gave her a puzzled look, but still started the car.
Lin Yun had just breathed a sigh of relief when her phone vibrated again—
This time, it was a text message notification tone—
Your passport has been frozen and you are unable to leave the country.
Her hand trembled violently, and she froze on the spot, her eyes filled with despair.
She slowly raised her head, watching the street scene rushing past the window, and a sense of fear crept into her heart...
This time, she truly had nowhere to run.
