Chapter 131 Will Not Give Up
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the thin curtains. Lin Chuyue sat at her desk, holding an urgent document in her hand. The envelope was unsigned, but the contents detailed Shen Fang's recent business activities abroad.
Several names on the document made Lin Chuyue's heart sink—Shen Fang was not only secretly contacting the company's old partners, but also had financial dealings with a foreign financial tycoon.
"As expected, she won't give up easily." Lin Chuyue muttered to herself, a cold glint in her eyes.
Just then, the phone screen lit up, and Li Zhanchuan's name appeared on the caller ID.
"Zhan Chuan?" Lin Chuyue answered the phone, her voice tinged with surprise.
"I had someone investigate and found that Shen Fang is trying to acquire an overseas subsidiary of the company through a third party. These documents might be useful to you." Li Zhanchuan's voice was deep, revealing his usual calmness.
Lin Chuyue frowned: "She's trying to regain control of the company's resources through the subsidiary? Her methods are quite secretive."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a deeper meaning:
"Do you think she can hide it so easily? You can find the traces she left behind if you want to."
"What do you plan to do?" Lin Chuyue asked, her gaze fixed on the blue sky outside the window, her thoughts churning.
"Don't rush into anything with her. We can let her think everything is going well, and then close in when she's off guard." Li Zhanchuan's plan was as calm and decisive as ever.
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Fine, then we'll wait for her to walk right into our trap."
As planned, Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan met with Huang Shijun, the president of a well-known domestic investment company and a former business partner of Shen Fang, at an upscale restaurant. He was also part of Shen Fang's network, but recently seemed to have wavered in her plans.
The restaurant had a low-key yet luxurious atmosphere. Lin Chuyue wore a black dress and appeared calm and composed. Li Zhanchuan, as always, sat opposite her, his deep eyes carrying a subtle sense of pressure.
Huang Shijun arrived ten minutes late, and when he saw Lin Chuyue, he had a professional smile on his face.
"Miss Lin, Mr. Li, why did you ask me out so late? Is there something you'd like to discuss?"
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, picked up the red wine on the table and gently swirled it, her tone indifferent:
"Mr. Huang, you must have heard about Shen Fang's recent activities abroad, right?"
Huang Shijun was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "I don't know about President Shen's matter. My cooperation with her ended long before she went abroad."
Li Zhanchuan slightly raised his eyes and parted his thin lips: "President Huang, do you really not understand, or do you simply not want to say?"
His voice was low, but his tone carried a dangerous chill, causing Huang Shijun's smile to freeze slightly.
Lin Chuyue spoke at the opportune moment, her tone gentle yet carrying a hint of authority:
"Mr. Huang, if Shen Fang's plan succeeds, you may not be able to escape unscathed. She is a ruthless person, so why should you cover for her?"
Huang Shijun was silent for a moment, then finally sighed, his tone complicated: "Indeed, Shen Fang did contact me. She wanted to use my channels to get in touch with several overseas clients. I agreed at first, but later felt the risk was too great, so I refused."
Lin Chuyue's eyes lit up: "Who exactly was the client she contacted?"
Huang Shijun hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few names and added, "Her recent goal is to expand her cash flow through subsidiaries. You must act quickly."
As night deepened, only Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan remained inside the car.
"Shen Fang is indeed trying to make a comeback." Lin Chuyue leaned back in her chair, her voice tinged with weariness, but her eyes remained bright.
Li Zhanchuan glanced at her, his tone now carrying an undeniable firmness:
"Her plan won't succeed so easily. Next, we need to cut off her funding chain in advance."
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, a hint of reliance showing in her tired expression: "Luckily you're here, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to handle it all by myself."
Li Zhanchuan's thin lips curved slightly, his voice low and husky yet resolute:
"With me here, you will never need to be alone."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as if something had gently stirred her heart. She looked up at him, only to see that the lines of his profile were both cold and gentle.
Their eyes met briefly in the rearview mirror, and everything was understood without a word.
