Chapter 623 Gu Family Backlash
The Gu family's old house, three in the morning.
Old Master Gu was still furious and slammed his cane on the ground with a thunderous sound.
"Gu Yanchuan, are you out of your mind?! Standing on Lin Chuyue's side in public!"
"Do you know how many eyes in the capital are watching? You are the heir of the Gu family, not Lin Chuyue's shield!"
Gu Yanchuan stood in the hall, his face expressionless, but his tone was calm: "She revealed the truth."
"Since the Gu family did indeed participate in Shen Fang's faked death back then, they should bear the consequences they deserve."
"You!" Old Master Gu trembled with rage. "You think you can clear Lin Chuyue's name? Once her identity as a member of the Shen family is confirmed, the entire Gu family will be implicated in the Shen family's old case!"
Madam Gu quickly stepped forward to support the old man, frowning as she looked at Gu Yanchuan: "You'll only harm her by doing this. The old guard of the Shen family won't let her off the hook. She's stirring up the dirtiest pool in the capital right now, and if you get involved, you'll only be doomed."
Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I know she's gambling with her life, so I can't watch her die alone."
One sentence brought a brief silence to the hall.
After a long silence, Old Master Gu laughed in fury: "If you dare to risk the lives of the Gu family, I'll be the first to—disqualify you from inheriting the family business!"
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "Whatever you say."
He turned and left without offering any explanation.
No sooner had he left than a tall, thin figure appeared silently outside the Gu family's courtyard, hiding in the shadows.
A deep, hoarse male voice came through the walkie-talkie:
"She has already made moves regarding the summit, and her follow-up actions have begun."
"Proceed as planned and make contact with Lin Chuyue."
"Yes."
……
The next morning, a silver-gray Hummer was discreetly parked on the street corner outside Lin Chuyue's apartment.
Inside the car, a man in a gray trench coat was flipping through a replay of Lin Chuyue's speech at the summit. His brows were deep and his features were cold and stern.
His name is Shen Chen. He is one of Shen Tingxuan's former subordinates and the only one who escaped the core pursuit when the Shen family was purged.
He had been lying low for five years, and now he had returned to the capital, representing the final coalition of the remaining forces of the "Shen Clique".
At this moment, Lin Chuyue was standing on the balcony, having just finished a call with Li Zhanchuan.
“They’ve already put pressure on the Gu family,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “Old Master Gu hates you to the core.”
"But now that you're famous, everyone knows you dared to make a move on this game, so they won't dare to mess with you easily."
Lin Chuyue said calmly, "Hate me? Then let him hate me even more."
"What I need to do next is not liquidation, but reconstruction."
"I want to completely reclaim the territory that originally belonged to the Shen family from the Lin family."
She had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang.
Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward to investigate, a hand with metal knuckles reached out and blocked the door.
"Shen Chen." Lin Chuyue looked at the person who came, her gaze sharpening.
Shen Chen smiled slightly and held up the pocket watch bearing the ancient seal of the Shen family in his palm: "Your mother entrusted this pocket watch to Shen Tingxuan. Before he died, he gave it to me."
“I didn’t intend to show myself. But you stirred up the entire chessboard of the capital last night. The last surviving brothers of the Shen family can’t wait any longer.”
"We are willing to pledge our loyalty to you and assist you in reorganizing the Shen Group."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"I did not come here for revenge."
"I'm not doing this to restore the Shen family's glory."
"I just want them to pay the price for everything."
Shen Chen gazed at her for a long time, then spoke in a low voice:
"Then we are willing to fight for your goal."
……
Meanwhile, at the Lin family villa.
Lin Zhengguo didn't sleep all night and lost a lot of weight.
Lin Yun stood beside him, looking anxious.
"Dad, you can't let Lin Chuyue continue like this! She exposed both of us yesterday. If we don't keep the news under wraps, the entire Lin family will fall!"
“You gave her shares, and now she’s partnering with Vision Capital on cash flow. If our accounting practices over the past few years are exposed… we’re all finished!”
Lin Zhengguo looked at Lin Yun wearily, his eyes cold: "Didn't you say you had already made the worst-case scenario plan?"
"The worst is yet to come."
Lin Yun was speechless.
The next second, Lin Zhengguo dialed a number, his voice hoarse and low:
"We must completely destroy the route through which those funds were transferred overseas, no matter the cost."
"Also... send someone to keep a close eye on Lin Chuyue; she has too much information."
Lin Yun gritted her teeth: "She has Li Zhanchuan and Gu Yanchuan protecting her now. Unless she breaks away from their protection herself, there is no chance to touch her."
Lin Zhengguo sneered: "Then create an opportunity."
“I heard that Vision Capital has a project site that she recently negotiated herself.”
"Go and contact the original landlords over there—the Song family."
“Tell them that Lin Chuyue is just a temporary representative, and that behind her is a power struggle involving the equity of Vision.”
“As soon as the Song family becomes suspicious, her trust in Yuanjing will be shaken.”
Lin Yun's eyes lit up: "I'll arrange it right now."
……
Three days later, in the Vision Capital conference room.
Lin Chuyue was negotiating with the Song family representative when the other party suddenly dropped a bombshell:
“Ms. Lin, since you are only the temporary executor of Vision Capital, I think we should wait a little longer for this ‘long-term cooperation’ agreement.”
"We need to double-check with the other board members."
Lin Chuyue felt a chill run down her spine as she quickly sensed the subtle pushing force behind her.
Someone is trying to undermine the trust in her within the company.
She remained calm and said, "Mr. Song, since you have concerns, I can arrange for President Gu and President Li to meet together and sign the document in person."
Representative Song was taken aback: "President Gu is involved too?"
Lin Chuyue smiled and said, "Of course. This project is the result of an agreement reached by the three parties."
Her tone was firm and her eyes were calm, which made the Song family representative hesitate.
At this moment, an anonymous email from within Vision was quietly sent out, with the subject line:
Lin Chuyue leverages Vision Capital to connect with private logistics channels, involving hundreds of millions of yuan.
Lin Chuyue's communication device beeped, and when she glanced at the title, her gaze instantly turned cold.
The inside player made a move.
She stood up: "Mr. Song, I will send someone to deliver the complete information later. Let's end the meeting here."
……
That evening, Lin Chuyue stood by the study window, with Chen Yulan and Shen Chen behind her.
"The other party has started attacking Vision from within, trying to force you to withdraw through the board of directors."
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Chuyue turned around calmly and handed Shen Chen a document: "They've made a move against the Gu family."
Shen Chen took it and saw that it was a screenshot of a surveillance video of Madam Gu meeting with Lin Zhengguo.
"I didn't touch them, but they thought they'd attack me first."
A chilling glint appeared in Lin Chuyue's eyes.
"Since that's the case... let's start with the Gu family."
“I will make Gu Yanchuan see with his own eyes how his so-called ‘family’ will take his life.”
"That's how my mother was sent to hell."
Shen Chen nodded gently.
"Let's get started."
——To be continued.
