Chapter 125 Suspicion Emerges
After the banquet, Lin Chuyue returned home and collapsed onto the sofa, a glass of warm lemonade in her hand, her gaze lost in thought as she looked out at the night view. The scenes from tonight kept replaying in her mind, every detail like fragments magnified under a magnifying glass, piecing together a complex picture.
Li Zhanchuan's message abruptly interrupted her thoughts. Her phone screen lit up with a short text message: "Regarding Shen Fang, I've had some new information investigated. Do you need to meet her?"
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly. She had thought that Shen Fang's threat had ended completely with the previous decision, but Li Zhanchuan's text message made her feel uneasy.
She quickly called back: "Zhan Chuan, what exactly happened?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and firm: "Some clues point to her possibly making a comeback. I don't want to alert her, so I'm letting you know first. Let's meet and talk."
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Lin Chuyue's heart. She replied in a low voice, "Okay, I'll come to the company to see you tomorrow."
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the office. Lin Chuyue pushed open the door and entered. Li Zhanchuan was already waiting at his desk. He looked up, met her gaze, and handed her the documents in his hand.
"What is this?" Lin Chuyue took the document and quickly flipped through it.
The documents contained a series of transaction records and anonymous whistleblower letters. Although the clues were vague, each one pointed to the same person—Shen Fang. Lin Chuyue's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. These clues seemed to indicate that Shen Fang was reorganizing her plans overseas.
“This is incomplete.” Lin Chuyue put down the document and looked up at Li Zhanchuan. “But if it were true, Shen Fang would probably have already taken action.”
Li Zhanchuan nodded: "That's true, so I need your assistance. Her target is very likely still the Lin family."
"She wants to make a comeback?" Lin Chuyue's tone was icy. "I will never let her succeed."
Meanwhile, at a board meeting of the Gu Group, Gu Yanchuan faced a thorny proposal. A veteran member of the board suddenly suggested bringing in an overseas investor. Information about this investor was scarce, but the limited information available hinted at certain familiar clues.
"President Gu, I believe this is an excellent opportunity for cooperation." The speaker's tone was enthusiastic, but a hint of unease was hidden.
Gu Yanchuan looked at the data on the projector, his fingertips lightly tapping the table. After a moment, he spoke in a cold voice: "Put it aside for now. I need more investigation data."
The meeting room fell silent. The other directors exchanged glances, but no one dared to speak up in protest.
After the meeting, Gu Yanchuan sat alone in his office, his mind racing. Could Shen Fang be the mastermind behind this proposal? He clenched his fists, a nagging feeling rising within him: Shen Fang might not back down so easily.
That evening, Lin Chuyue met Gu Yanchuan at a coffee shop. The two sat facing each other, and Lin Chuyue spoke first: "Zhanchuan has discovered some clues. Shen Fang may not have completely calmed down yet."
Gu Yanchuan nodded and shared his concerns: "It seems that she is also behind Gu's overseas investment plan. If so, her plans have exceeded our expectations."
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment: "We need to unite. No one, whether it's the Lin family or the Gu family, can become a pawn in her hands."
“I agree.” Gu Yanchuan’s tone was firm, his gaze fixed on Lin Chuyue. “But this time, you have to be careful and don’t put yourself in danger again.”
Lin Chuyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely not lose this time."
The two reached a tacit agreement, and a new plan began to take shape in their minds. Although Shen Fang's figure was hidden in the darkness, they were ready to face a new battle.
