As night deepened, Lin Chuyue returned to her apartment, but the weariness was hard to shake off. She sat at her desk, opened the notebook beside her, which was filled with her recent plans and speculations.
Shen Fang's month-long "vacation" appeared calm on the surface, but it was actually fraught with hidden undercurrents. From the company documents provided by Gu Yanchuan, she had already noticed some clues—there were unclear fund flows in the financial accounts, and these funds were likely related to a larger scheme behind Shen Fang.
Lin Chuyue opened the folder, highlighting a particular anomaly in the data. Her brow furrowed slightly as she pondered. Was this money related to Shen Fang's secret plan? Or did it involve President Zhao?
She took out her phone and dialed Wang Peng's number.
"Wang Peng, come to my office at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Chuyue's tone was unquestionable, with a hint of coldness.
Wang Peng hesitated for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Okay, Mr. Lin."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. She had to find more evidence to completely turn the situation around before Shen Fang was "reinstated."
The next morning, Wang Peng stood at the door of Lin Chuyue's office, his fingers trembling slightly as he held the documents. He was filled with anxiety, both afraid of being discovered by Shen Fang and worried that he would completely lose his "way out".
Lin Chuyue looked up at him and said coldly, "Come in."
Wang Peng closed the door, stood in front of the desk, and handed over the documents with a slightly awkward expression: "President Lin, this is the internal monitoring data you requested earlier."
Lin Chuyue glanced through the document, her gaze darkening slightly: "Why was this data deliberately deleted?"
Wang Peng's heart skipped a beat, and he explained in a low voice, "President Lin, this matter... was indeed instructed by Shen Fang. She didn't want me to report the complete situation."
"So, you chose to keep it a secret?" Lin Chuyue's gaze was sharp as she stared directly at him.
Wang Peng felt suffocated by that gaze. He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before finally gritting his teeth and saying, "President Lin, I can tell you some of Shen Fang's arrangements... I just hope you can guarantee my safety."
Lin Chuyue leaned back in her chair, her fingers lightly tapping the table, a cold smile appearing on her lips: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, I won't let anything happen to you. But the condition is that you must tell me everything you know."
Based on Wang Peng's confession, Lin Chuyue gradually pieced together a hidden picture. Shen Fang's fund flows involved several subsidiaries' shady projects, the most crucial part of which was related to a company's overseas acquisition. All of this was likely a carefully planned conspiracy by Shen Fang to gain greater power.
Lin Chuyue closed the file, her eyes cold and her voice sharp as a knife: "This evidence is not enough. We must find more financial records to completely expose her tricks."
Wang Peng nodded and whispered, "President Lin, I know that Shen Fang's private secretary has some key documents. There's a safe in her office, and there might be more secrets hidden inside."
"A safe?" Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly lost in thought.
She stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the busy street outside, and muttered to herself, "It seems it's time to give Shen Fang another push."
Lin Chuyue had barely sat down in her office when her phone rang. The screen displayed Li Zhanchuan's name.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chuyue answered the phone, her tone slightly impatient.
Li Zhanchuan's deep voice came through: "I heard you've been keeping an eye on some issues with Shen Fang lately. What are you planning to do?"
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment, then replied coldly, "This is none of your business. I have my own plans."
"Lin Chuyue, do you always think you can handle everything on your own?" Li Zhanchuan's voice was slightly helpless. "I have some information here that might be useful to you. Let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll tell you."
Lin Chuyue frowned, her tone still cold: "If it's important information, send it to me directly."
“These things can’t be explained clearly over a text message,” Li Zhanchuan said firmly. “It’s settled then. I’ll pick you up at seven tonight.”
Lin Chuyue was about to refuse when the other party hung up. She looked helplessly at her phone screen and finally sighed.
Dinner was arranged at a highly private club, a low-key yet luxurious setting with only a few guests.
Li Zhanchuan poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Lin Chuyue, his gaze deep: "Shen Fang is backed by President Zhao, and President Zhao has recently been getting very close to several overseas investors. There may be an even bigger deal involved."
Lin Chuyue took the wine glass, raised an eyebrow at him, and asked, "How do you know all this?"
“I have my own channels.” Li Zhanchuan’s lips curled up slightly, a hint of certainty in his eyes. “However, I’m not here to show off. You can use this information to break down Shen Fang’s defenses.”
Lin Chuyue took a small sip of her wine, her gaze gradually turning cold: "Are you saying all this hoping I'll owe you a favor?"
Li Zhanchuan chuckled softly, his voice low and deep: "If you insist on thinking that way, that's fine too. However, I hope you understand that you are not fighting alone."
Lin Chuyue was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you for reminding me. I will make good use of this information."
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
