Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 552 Undercurrents and Whirlpools

At 9 p.m., the Lin Group's conference room was brightly lit. Lin Chuyue convened an emergency meeting of senior executives to report on the "Shen Yan's late-night database intrusion" incident and announced the establishment of a "Special Anti-Infiltration Team," which she would personally oversee, with Gu Yanchuan as the deputy team leader.

I. The "Betrayal" Allegation in the Conference Room

Before the meeting even started, Lin Chuyue blurted out a question in front of everyone:

"Who signed this access record? How could Shen Yanyan's card access the core database without the chairman's authorization?!"

The room fell silent instantly, the atmosphere thick with tension. The head of the legal department, seated at the end of the table, stood up uneasily.

“We…we thought it was at President Gu’s behest.”

Lin Chuyue shifted her gaze to Gu Yanchuan and asked coldly:

"You gave the order?"

Gu Yanchuan's eyes darkened, and his tone revealed a hint of displeasure: "No. I don't need to obtain information by 'stealing'."

Lin Chuyue smiled sarcastically: "That means someone is using your name to do evil deeds."

The atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became extremely tense, and no one dared to speak. The entire meeting had become a "trust showdown" between Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan.

?

Second, Lin Yun's intervention sows discord and undermines trust.

After the meeting, Lin Yun appeared in the lobby of the Gu Group as promised, bringing a "Report on the Fund Flow of Cheng Yi Fund in the Next Six Months". She wore a white suit dress, looking elegant and radiant, her gaze meaningful:

"President Gu, if you truly side with Lin Chuyue, then hand this report to her—but do you dare?"

Gu Yanchuan's expression was cold and stern: "You shouldn't have come."

Lin Yun took a step closer and whispered, "Your mother passed away because your father refused to protect her; you are now following in his footsteps—family men are indeed adept at destroying trust."

Gu Yanchuan clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. In the end, he took the report, but instead of handing it over immediately, he locked it in the safe by himself.

He didn't want to hide it from Lin Chuyue, but he didn't want to easily hand over this "knife that Lin Yun offered" to her—this was a test of trust, and he himself hadn't figured out how to win.

III. Lin Chuyue discovers the "secret of the safe"

The following morning, Lin Chuyue borrowed a safe in Gu Yanchuan's office to sign a board report, but unexpectedly discovered a locked "Cheng Yi Funds Flow Document".

She recognized Lin Yun's handwriting at a glance, and her heart turned cold instantly.

She didn't open it immediately, but sat at her desk in silence for a full ten minutes.

When Gu Yanchuan walked into the office and saw her sitting there with a cold expression, his first reaction was: "You read it?"

Lin Chuyue countered, "When do you plan to tell me?"

Gu Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "I'm checking the authenticity of this. I'm afraid you'll be used by Lin Yun."

Lin Chuyue stood up: "You're afraid I'll lose control of my emotions, afraid I'll act recklessly, afraid I'll ruin the scheme you've set up. But aren't you afraid I'll be disappointed in you again, that I'll lose all trust in you?"

These words cut through the air like a blade, leaving Gu Yanchuan speechless. He understood that Lin Chuyue didn't need "protective concealment"; she simply needed him to stand by her side without reservation.

IV. Shen Yanyan's "Choice"

Meanwhile, Shen Yanyan was temporarily placed under house arrest in the villa, closely monitored by the company's security guards. But then he suddenly received a package.

Inside the package was a watch with GPS tracking, accompanied by a message:

"Choose a side. We've been waiting for you to take this step."

The signature reads: "Plan F: Compound Eye Group".

He looked at the watch, his expression one of extreme struggle—if he put it on now, he would be committing a complete betrayal of Lin Chuyue.

Just then, Lin Chuyue pushed open the door and entered herself.

"You need to decide whether you want to remain a person with a shred of self-respect, or completely become Lin Yun's pawn?"

Shen Yanyan looked up at her cold gaze, her own eyes reddening: "Have you ever trusted me? Even just once?"

Lin Chuyue sneered: "I trusted you twice. The first time was when you shielded my mother from the investigation team, I remember that; the second time was when I trusted you the most, you went through my mother's safe in the middle of the night—I remember that too."

V. The Eve of the Final Battle: Chaos Approaches

Meanwhile, inside the Gu family's old residence.

Gu Yonghui received an anonymous phone call:

“Lin Chuyue has already obtained a copy of the ‘Snow Fox Project.’ If you insist on standing on her side, it will be tantamount to destroying the Gu family empire that you have rebuilt.”

Gu Yonghui raised his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable. He realized that this grudge, sown twenty years ago, could no longer be resolved amicably.

-

The night was as dark as ink. Lin Chuyue sat alone in her office and finally opened the document.

"Cheng Yi Fund will initiate a phased capital reshuffle next quarter, replacing all trust holders. Priority target: Lin Chuyue."

She clenched her fists and finally understood—this scheme wasn't just about ruining her career, but about cutting off her lifeline.
