Chapter 545 A Do-or-Die Battle
The night was still young. In the corridors of the Lin Group headquarters, the lights flickered, seemingly reflecting the turmoil in everyone's hearts. The previous "private negotiation" email had paralyzed the group's trust system, and various forces were already secretly deploying their troops, preparing for the most brutal showdown.
?
I. The Tearing in the Dawn
At 7:00 AM, a temporary notice was posted in the lobby of the Lin Group: Due to the "private negotiation email" incident, the board of directors decided to hold an emergency special meeting at 4:00 PM today to review whether to remove Lin Chuyue from the position of president and to discuss further plans to introduce external trusteeship or establish an audit committee.
The news sent shockwaves through the market again—the stock opened 7% lower and continued to fall throughout the morning session. In the lobby, assistant Tang Nian busily posted announcements in the secretariat, her face haggard but resolute.
Lin Zhengguo, who had just stepped off the elevator, saw the notice, his chest tightened, and he strode forward, "Tang Nian, what exactly is going on? Don't expand the scope any further!"
Tang Nian glanced at him and gritted her teeth: "Sir, this is a decision made by the board of directors. I am just the one who posted the notice."
Lin Zhengguo frowned, turned and strode quickly toward the boardroom, as if he wanted to stop this rift as soon as possible.

II. Gu Yanchuan's Centrifugal Force
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan held a meeting with a group of core executives in a "cloud-based meeting room." Faced with a series of crises, his emotions finally spiraled out of control:
“I always thought that Chuyue and I were on the same side when it came to family and group matters. But she actually allowed that email to be exposed without telling me beforehand... This isn't protection, it's murdering our future!”
The executives fell silent, the atmosphere becoming heavy. Gu Yanchuan turned to his assistant and ordered, "Immediately organize a legal team to trace the entire IP chain of the person who uploaded this information! Whoever leaked the information, take them down!"
His words carried a chilling threat in the air, yet they could not conceal his disappointment and questioning of Chuyue.

III. The Two-Sided Game of Shenlong Inkstone
Before nightfall, Shen Yanyan had a private meeting with representatives from Cheng Yi Fund at the villa. Cheng Yi sneered, "Your actions this time were too revealing, leaving Lin Chuyue with the last bit of room to maneuver. Now, it's up to you whether you choose to side with me or not, otherwise the next round won't be a grey market stock market crash, but a complete bloodbath."
Shen Yan pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head: "I am not a puppet, but I don't want to see the group collapse either. If you want me to choose sides, give me three minutes to calculate the cost."
In the dim light, his shadow was stretched long, like a tentative flagpole in the undercurrent.

IV. Lin Yun's Powerful Attack
Lin Yun arrived at headquarters early in the morning. She had already rallied the old shareholders to jointly propose: "Since RNA (private emails) can shake the core of the group, then let's replace this person who 'never personally experienced' the establishment of the trust but enjoys the benefits. Today we propose to initiate a 'no-confidence motion' to immediately remove the president and vice president, and the interim executive committee will be jointly chaired by Lin Yun and the CR representative."
The moment he finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in cheers, with a host of long-time shareholders echoing his sentiments. Lin Zhengguo was instantly caught in a dilemma: he was unwilling to continue protecting Chuyue, yet he feared his daughter would completely spiral out of control.

V. Father-daughter dialogue about death
Lin Zhengguo returned to his study in a daze, his phone flashing with messages from Lin Yun urging him to hurry up.
At this moment, Lin Chuyue barged in with Tang Nian, her aura overwhelming: "Dad, that's enough! If you support her, then stop being a painful middleman. You need to understand that once she joins forces with CR to control the interim committee, everyone's rights will only be further compromised!"
Lin Zhengguo looked up, his eyes filled with tears: "Chuyue, I just... don't want to see you shoulder all the responsibility alone anymore."
Lin Chuyue smiled sadly: "You always say 'the family shouldn't be shouldered alone,' but when danger comes, you choose to push me off the battlefield!"
The two faced each other closely, the only sound in the empty study being their breathing.
?
VI. Tang Nian's Final Counterattack
Tang Nian pressed the button to make a decision at that moment—she exported the original and edited traces of the "private negotiation" email as technical evidence, along with the IP evidence of Cheng Yi Fund's dark pool operation, and uploaded them to the regulatory special email address, and copied them to major financial media outlets.
Seconds later, a push notification with the title "Exclusive Technical Evidence" exploded on the internal network, directly accusing Cheng Yi and CR of a second round of behind-the-scenes manipulation, claiming that "the latest evidence shows that the email content was pieced together behind the scenes, and the email was sent from the New York node of Cheng Yi Fund, which is unrelated to the group's internal affairs."
Tang Nian said to Lin Chuyue in a trembling voice, "This time, I personally deleted all versions related to you and President Gu. I can't let them use me as a scapegoat anymore!"
?
VII. The Final Breakthrough
At 4:00 PM sharp, the special emergency meeting commenced as scheduled. The large screen first played the technically conclusive evidence and IP location animation uploaded by Tang Nian, causing an uproar in the room.
Gu Yanchuan stood up, his voice firm: "Everyone, this is the most thorough counterattack. We now possess crucial evidence to break the underhanded dealings and internal strife, and it is also the last line of defense for the group. Please immediately reject Lin Yun's motion to remove her from office!"
Lin Yun's face turned deathly pale, but no one responded anymore. One by one, the old shareholders switched to pressing the blue light to support keeping Chuyue.
Ultimately, the motion to remove him was narrowly rejected again. The interim executive committee was reinstated, led by Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Yanyan. CR and Chengyi's financing channels were required by regulators to cooperate with an investigation, and their short-selling activities in the grey market were halted by a letter from market regulators.

end:
As dawn broke through the clouds and sunlight streamed onto the building, the first rays bringing a touch of warmth, but also illuminating deep cracks:
Gu Yanchuan and Lin Chuyue: The pain of betrayal has not yet healed.
Tang Nian: She built a line of trust with her last bit of courage, but it was hard to heal the wounds in her heart.
Shen Yanyan: Caught between multiple attacks, the future remains uncertain.
Lin Yun and Lin Zhengguo: Father and daughter have a falling out, can they reconcile?
The wounds accumulated under the cover of night began to be illuminated by the first rays of light. While a partial victory has been achieved in breaking the deadlock, true rebirth requires greater sacrifices and forgiveness—and everyone will be questioned: What were you fighting for?
