Chapter 261 Aftershocks of the Situation
Late at night, a cool breeze gently swept through the courtyard in front of the villa.
Lin Chuyue walked ahead, with Li Zhanchuan silently following beside her. Gu Yanchuan's steps were steady, his expression still cold and unyielding, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
They had just left Shen Fang's villa, but under the cover of night, a lingering sense of oppression still hung in the air.
Lin Chuyue's mind was far from calm. Although tonight's victory was expected, she still felt a complex mix of emotions when she actually witnessed Shen Fang's breakdown.
In her previous life, she died tragically at the hands of Shen Fang's schemes. In this life, she personally led Shen Fang to her downfall, even experiencing the despair she herself had endured back then.
Even so, Lin Chuyue still knew that it was not over yet.
Shen Fang is merely an important pawn in this game; behind her are Lin Yun and other hidden forces. Moreover, the movements of the Lin family cannot be ignored.
"What are you thinking about?" A deep voice came from beside me.
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback and turned her head to look at Li Zhanchuan.
Li Zhanchuan's gaze was deep, revealing a hint of inquiry. Although his tone was indifferent, Lin Chuyue knew that he had actually been paying close attention to her condition.
She raised the corners of her lips and said softly, "I'm thinking about how to wrap this up."
Li Zhanchuan's eyes flickered slightly, and his thin lips parted slightly: "Not over yet?"
Lin Chuyue gently shook her head: "Shen Fang is indeed a key figure in this struggle, but she is not the only threat. Those behind her will not give up so easily."
Gu Yanchuan then spoke slowly, his tone calm: "Will Lin Yun take this opportunity to make a move?"
When Lin Yun was mentioned, Lin Chuyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
She knew that Lin Yun had been waiting for an opportunity. Now that Shen Fang's defeat was certain, if Lin Yun were smart, she should choose to endure and lay low for the time being. But given her personality... she might not be so calm.
“No matter what Lin Yun’s plans are, she doesn’t have many chances left.” Lin Chuyue said with certainty, “Her biggest reliance is Shen Fang. Now that Shen Fang’s power has collapsed, it will be very difficult for Lin Yun to make a comeback.”
“But that doesn’t mean she won’t do something desperate.” Li Zhanchuan’s voice was deep and his gaze sharp. “The more she loses everything, the more likely she is to do something extreme.”
Lin Chuyue nodded deeply.
She knew all too well the extent of Lin Yun's madness. In her past life, Lin Yun had spared no expense to replace her, even going so far as to set her on fire. Now that she was desperate, she was bound to take a desperate gamble.

The Lin family's movements
As night fell, the group walked to the parking lot. Gu Yanchuan answered a phone call, his expression turning slightly somber.
"Something has happened at the Lin family's place."
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan were both slightly taken aback, then their expressions hardened.
"What happened?" Lin Chuyue asked.
"Lin Zhengguo was urgently summoned to the company by the shareholders tonight. Someone reported that there were serious loopholes in Lin's finances, involving the misappropriation of funds." Gu Yanchuan said calmly, "This report is very detailed and contains almost all the evidence."
Lin Chuyue's eyes changed slightly.
The Lin family's financial loopholes... She suddenly realized something and sneered, "It seems this is Shen Fang's last counterattack."
Gu Yanchuan nodded slightly: "Although Shen Fang has lost, she is unlikely to surrender willingly. Her assets have been frozen, but she has been planning for the Lin family for many years and must have a backup plan."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning slightly cold: "She's trying to drag the Lin family down with her."
With his hands in his pockets, Li Zhanchuan said in a calm tone, "She has already lost. Even if she drags the Lin family down with her, it won't change the outcome."
“But at least she can throw the Lin family into chaos,” Lin Chuyue said in a low voice.
Shen Fang's actions were clearly intended to throw the Lin family into disarray.

Lin Yun's unusual behavior
Meanwhile, in another villa, Lin Yun smashed her phone, her face deathly pale.
"That bitch Shen Fang!" she gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger and terror.
Shen Fang was completely defeated. She thought she could take the opportunity to seize power, but now, at the last moment, Shen Fang actually turned her attention to the Lin family!
"Miss Lin Yun, Mr. Lin wants you to go to the company immediately," the butler said in a low voice, his face showing some unease.
Lin Yun took a deep breath, her face contorted with rage, grabbed her coat, and strode out.
She knew her chances were numbered.
In this game, she has to go all in!
