Chapter 654 Storm of Power
Huadu, the top floor of Vision Capital's headquarters.
Night has fallen, and the city lights are ablaze.
Lin Chuyue sat in the main seat of the conference room, her expression calm, yet revealing a hint of fatigue.
“I have already signed the ISA filing. Yuyuan Group’s equity will be fully entrusted to a trustee, and the remaining shares held by Shen Yao have also been frozen.”
She closed the folder and got up to leave, but Li Zhanchuan grabbed her wrist.
"You hung up on Shen Yanli."
The tone wasn't harsh, yet it was like a blade slicing through the silent air.
Lin Chuyue's eyes narrowed: "You checked my call records?"
Li Zhanchuan did not deny it, but simply said, "Now is not the time for you to fight alone."
“I’m not fighting alone; I’m defining the boundaries.” She said arrogantly, “Shen Yanli isn’t worth my three seconds.”
"But you underestimated him."
Li Zhanchuan stood up, his gaze cold and stern: "He returned to the country not for revenge, nor for power. He's here to 'clean up' the mess."
“He never fights on the battlefield; he just sits on high and picks the most profitable fruit. And now you’ve picked those fruits and put them right in front of his mouth.”
Lin Chuyue lowered her eyes: "Do you think I'm a pawn?"
“You’re not.” Li Zhanchuan paused, his eyes darkening. “You’re the bait.”
This sentence stunned Lin Chuyue.
The air suddenly became heavy.
After a long silence, she whispered, "You don't believe me."
Li Zhanchuan was silent for half a second: "I believe you. But I don't believe you can beat Shen Yanli alone."
Lin Chuyue turned and left, her back view stubborn and resolute.
"Then let's see if I can turn the hunter into the prey."
……
Meanwhile, at the Lin family's old residence.
When news of Shen Yanli's return to China spread, the Lin family's top executives held a meeting overnight.
Lin Zhengguo sat in the main seat, his face ashen. Lin Yun sat beside him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
“ISA’s board of directors believes that Lin Chuyue has overstepped her authority and must reassess her authorization and asset transfer rights.”
“She has been over-empowered, which has even affected our cooperation with overseas funds.”
"And Mr. Shen's return can, to some extent, stabilize public opinion..."
"So, you're going to cripple Lin Chuyue?" Lin Zhengguo sneered. "When did you all become Shen Yanli's people?"
“It’s not that it ‘has been accomplished,’ it’s that it must be done.” One director said sharply, “The Lin family doesn’t just belong to one family, it belongs to all shareholders.”
Lin Yun suddenly spoke up: "I support abolishing Lin Chuyue."
Lin Zhengguo suddenly turned his head: "Are you crazy?"
"If it weren't for her, we would have died long ago."
Lin Yun lowered her head: "It's not that I'm ungrateful. I just know that we can no longer protect her."
“A second faction has emerged within ISA—advocating for the return of Shen Yanli and his reintegration into the organization.”
“Do you know what this means?” Lin Zhengguo gritted his teeth. “He will devour us whole, leaving not even the bones behind.”
"He came back to take complete control."
Lin Yun said softly, "Then let him devour me, not her."
Everyone was stunned.
Lin Zhengguo looked at her, his face filled with unprecedented disappointment and sorrow: "You... do you even count as a member of the Lin family anymore?"
Lin Yun's eyes reddened, but she stubbornly looked up: "I am. But she is even more so."
……
Shen Yanli arrived in Huadu in the early hours of the morning.
Without any high-profile announcement or media coverage, his appearance was like a knife plunged into a calm lake, stirring up the murky waters.
Accompanying him was a young lawyer and assistant—Ji Chongming, an internal liquidation expert at ISA.
“Lin Chuyue did not commit any illegal acts,” Ji Chongming reported, standing in front of the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window. “Her actions even received a special exemption from the European Securities and Exchange Commission.”
“She is not only legal, but also listed as a ‘high-risk controller’ by international capital.”
Shen Yanli sneered: "This world is so interesting—murderers are hailed as war gods, while those who solve problems are labeled as madmen."
What can I control right now?
“ISA’s third fund division is still under your authorization. But Lin Chuyue is currently mobilizing the external audit team to cut off high-frequency data sharing with the fund.”
"She wants to start her own business."
Shen Yanli hesitated for half a second, then suddenly sneered: "She is not Shen Fang."
“Shen Fang never opposes me.”
“Arrange a meeting,” he said coldly. “I want to ask her myself—whose successor does she really want to be?”
……
The following day, ISA issued a high-level announcement:
"Due to the major structural adjustments and changes to the board's authorization mechanism, Lin Chuyue will temporarily freeze all of her 'absolute command authority' for 72 hours."
This news instantly shook the financial circles of Huadu.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, coldly looking at the email notification, her eyes indifferent.
"coming."
She turned to her assistant and said, “Send a reply email to the ISA board of directors, with my statement attached—I agree to cooperate with the investigation, but will invoke the second ‘Delayed Succession Clause’ in the family archive.”
The assistant was shocked: "That's... the 'backlash document' left behind by Shen Fang!"
“She set up an insurance policy,” Lin Chuyue said calmly. “Since they want power, let’s see if they can bear the side effects.”
……
On the other hand, after receiving the ISA adjustment notice, Li Zhanchuan immediately sent people to retrieve the ISA's secret fund flow.
The results show that an anonymous capital firm is investing in ISA Fund III, which is likely Shen Yanli's first move to gain control of the market after returning to China.
He squinted and gave a low command:
"Start Plan B."
"If Shen Yanli is going to sit at the table, don't let him sit too comfortably."
"Lin Chuyue is not bait."
"It's the Queen."
