Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 564 Undercurrents and the Hunt

As the autumn rain subsided, a misty fog enveloped the banks of the Huangpu River. Inside the Lin Group headquarters, beneath the surface calm, undercurrents surged.

?

I. Lin Zhengguo's "Last Struggle"

After the board investigation team was established, Lin Zhengguo was forced to suspend his duties pending investigation, but he was not willing to be sidelined.

Late at night, he secretly met with Bai Zhongwen, a representative of the group's old-school shareholders, and they had a hurried, low-key conversation at a private club.

"Chairman Bai, as long as you are willing to jointly support me in regaining control of the group, I can give up 10% of the family shares." Lin Zhengguo's eyes were filled with unprecedented anxiety.

Bai Zhongwen sneered: "President Lin, do you really think the current situation can be resolved by giving away shares? The young people have already joined forces—and they have solid evidence that you and Lin Yun 'misappropriated public relations funds'."

Lin Zhengguo's face was ashen, and veins bulged on his forehead. He realized that he had been pushed into a corner, and even his most loyal ministers were now turning against him.

II. Lin Yun's Counterattack

At the same time, Lin Yun was not completely defeated.

Late at night, she received an encrypted video call from Anson, the head of Chengyi Fund, in her hotel suite.

“Miss Yun, you still have a trump card.” Ansen pushed up his glasses and said calmly, “The materials about the ‘secret investment’ in Gu Yanchuan’s account are still in our hands—as long as we release them at the right time, not only Lin Chuyue, but Gu Yanchuan will also be caught.”

Lin Yun gritted her teeth, her voice hoarse: "Didn't you promise that you would never touch him?"

Anson smiled faintly: "A deal is a deal. You lost, and now you have to pay the price to compensate."

Lin Yun felt a chill in her heart, knowing that she had no way out.

She raised her eyes, a mad light rekindling within them: "Fine, release her—I want Lin Chuyue to taste the bitterness of losing everything!"

III. Gu Yanchuan is in crisis

The following morning, an anonymous tip suddenly surfaced online:

"Lin Chuyue, the newly appointed head of the Lin family, has an improper relationship with Gu Yanchuan, the heir to the Gu family capital!"

The exposé included multiple screenshots of suspected bank transfer records and overseas accounts, pointing directly to Gu Yanchuan's secret investment in a shell company controlled by Lin Chuyue, which was used to manipulate the internal stock price of the Lin Group.

Public opinion instantly erupted.

Lin's Group's stock price plummeted 8% at the opening bell, with multiple media outlets pointing the finger at Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan for alleged insider trading, and even regulatory agencies beginning to investigate.

The board of directors held an emergency meeting, and the atmosphere was tense.

With a grim face, Luo Zhen held the whistleblower materials and questioned Gu Yanchuan: "President Gu, can you explain these 'coincidences'?"

Gu Yanchuan said expressionlessly, "I have never used any illegal means to interfere with Lin's stock price. The so-called 'evidence' is nothing but a fabricated illusion."

One of the shareholders who was taking a wait-and-see attitude sneered: "Explain? The evidence now points to you and Lin Chuyue manipulating things in private. How can someone like that be qualified to continue interfering in the group's decision-making?"

Lin Chuyue was also thrust into the spotlight, with some board members beginning to question whether she was "abusing her personal relationships".

Lin Chuyue said in a deep voice, "If there is really a problem, I am willing to accept a full investigation."

Her sharp gaze swept across the room, her voice clear and cold: "But I will never allow anyone to use this opportunity to manipulate the group and the fate of all of us once again!"

?

IV. Lin Yun's Secret Plan

Lin Yun stood by the hotel window, looking at the constantly popping news notifications on her phone, a sinister smile curling at the corner of her lips.

She knew that this time, even if she couldn't win, she would drag Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan into the mire completely.

Meanwhile, another card she had secretly arranged was quietly activated—

A mid-level manager of the Lin Group, at Lin Yun's behest, anonymously reported false materials to the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) alleging that Lin Chuyue was "suspected of manipulating stock prices," forcing the regulatory authorities to initiate a formal investigation.

?

V. Lin Chuyue's desperate battle

At 10 p.m., Lin Chuyue stood alone on the rooftop of the headquarters building, gazing at the shimmering city lights below. She knew that if she delayed any longer, both she and Gu Yanchuan would be doomed.

The phone screen lit up; it was a message from Shen Yan.

[Internal signals confirm: Someone deliberately altered the shell company's registration information to frame you. The mastermind is suspected to be Lin Yun's team, but it will take time to gather evidence.]

Lin Chuyue's fingertips were cold, but she gritted her teeth and replied:

No need to delay any longer, let's take action tonight.

-

An hour later, Lin Chuyue held an emergency press conference for all shareholders and the media.

Dressed in a black suit, she exuded an imposing aura and calmly presented evidence—including falsified fund transfer records, the real shareholder list of the shell company, and clues of behind-the-scenes manipulation.

"I stand here today not to defend myself, but to let everyone see who is behind the manipulation of stock prices, the fabrication of lies, and the tarnishing of the Lin family's reputation!"

There was dead silence.

Before the camera, Lin Chuyue slowly scanned each shocked, fearful, or angry face, her voice firm: "From this moment on, a full internal investigation will be launched within the Lin Group. Anyone who has chosen the wrong side will pay the price for their choice!"

?

VI. The Hunt Begins

At the same time, Shen Yan's "hunting trap" set up in the shadows began to close.

Using the authority of the investigation team, he colluded with some shareholders to secretly freeze some of the accounts and internal permissions of Lin Zhengguo, Lin Yun, and their cronies.

A series of seemingly silent encirclements are quietly uprooting the old forces.

The hunters have returned; a storm is brewing.
