Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 533 An old friend returns

After the shareholders' meeting, Lin Chuyue's victory caused quite a stir within the group. However, she knew this was just the beginning. Lin Yun wouldn't let it go easily, and her father Lin Zhengguo's silence only made her more uneasy.

That evening, an unexpected meeting caught Lin Chuyue off guard.

I. The Visit of a Mysterious Person

Lin Chuyue was organizing the cooperation plan for Shuguang Biotech in her office when her assistant, Tang Nian, knocked on the door and came in with a strange expression: "President Lin, there is a gentleman outside who insists on seeing you... He said his name is 'Shen Yan'."

Lin Chuyue paused, then said, "Hasn't he already..."

“Not that lawyer Shen.” Tang Nian paused. “This Shen Yan is Shen Fang’s younger brother. He’s returned from overseas.”

Lin Chuyue's fingers tightened, and she suddenly stood up, her eyes turning cold: "Let him in."

Soon, a tall, stern-faced man walked into the office. He wore a well-tailored black trench coat, his features were sharp, and his eyes held a restrained sharpness.

“Miss Lin,” Shen Yan said in a low voice, “I’m here to pay off a debt.”

Lin Chuyue frowned slightly: "You said you're Shen Fang's brother? Then you'd better sort out your own accounts with her."

Shen Yan sat down, his tone calm: "I'm not here to clear Shen Fang's name. I left home at sixteen and was forcibly sent to England by her. We haven't had any contact since. I don't acknowledge what she did, and I didn't participate in it. But I have a batch of documents she left behind—related to your mother's death."

The air fell silent for a moment.

Lin Chuyue's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, her gaze sharp as a knife: "What do you want to do by showing up now?"

“I can tell you Shen Fang’s trump card,” Shen Yan said, lowering his eyes, “but on conditions.”

"explain."

Shen Yan slowly raised his head, his voice carrying a hint of sharpness: "I want to join Lin's Group, enter the management team, and take over the legal department."

Lin Chuyue sneered: "Do you think I would trust Shen Fang's younger brother?"

Shen Yan's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Before your mother had her accident, she secretly established a special overseas trust. The beneficiary was neither you nor your father, but... an old friend of hers from university. Shen Fang has been trying to destroy this trust, but she has not succeeded."

Lin Chuyue's expression changed slightly: "Is everything you said true?"

“I can vouch for this.” Shen Yan took out a photocopy of a bank document and a notarized letter, which clearly bore the signature of Lin Chuyue’s mother and a recording of her last words: “—If I pass away unexpectedly, the funds in this account and the trust inheritance rights will be supervised by Gu Yanchuan and will eventually return to Chuyue’s hands.”

Lin Chuyue was stunned.

Gu Yanchuan's name was listed as the executor of the trust. The moment she looked at the document, a taut string in her heart trembled slightly.

II. Lin Yun's Counterattack Begins

At the same time, Lin Yun did not remain silent.

She returned to the Lin family villa with Lin Zhengguo. The atmosphere inside was heavy. Lin Zhengguo sat on the sofa, his face ashen, saying nothing. Lin Yun, however, was furious: "Dad, did you see that? She's completely kicked you out of the picture!"

Lin Zhengguo lowered his head, his eyes vacant.

"If you continue to remain silent, the Lin family will soon cease to be the Lin family!" Lin Yun gritted her teeth. "She has plenty of resources from the Gu family, and she also has Dawn Biotechnology backing her up, while you... you haven't done anything!"

Lin Zhengguo finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "I also want to prove myself to my family... but she is my daughter."

Lin Yun slammed her hand on the table: "You only remember she's your daughter now? Why didn't you think of her when you married Shen Fang after Mom passed away?"

One sentence, like a bolt of lightning.

Lin Zhengguo's expression changed: "What did you say?"

Lin Yun said coldly, "You think I don't know? Back when you were with Shen Fang, my mother was still alive. Lin Chuyue's mother didn't die of illness; she was forced to her death by you!"

Lin Zhengguo's pupils dilated sharply, and he stood up abruptly: "Shut up!"

"What? Scared? Feeling guilty?" Lin Yun sneered, but tears welled in her eyes. "I just want something that belongs to us, but she has everything she wants. Why should she?"

Lin Zhengguo was panting heavily, his voice trembling as he said, "I won't allow you to do anything reckless—"

"It's too late." Lin Yun slowly stepped back, her eyes as cold as snow. "You can't stop me now, Dad."

After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Lin Zhengguo slumped down in the darkness, a trace of sorrowful regret in his eyes.

III. Gu Yanchuan's Hidden Worries

Gu's Group Building.

Gu Yanchuan sat at his desk, looking at the anonymous email delivered to him—the email contained only two photos: one of Lin Chuyue leaving with Shen Yan late at night, and the other of Shen Yan talking with a person in charge of an overseas fund at a cocktail party.

"Shen Yan," he murmured softly, his fingers slowly clenching.

Lin Chuyue's office.

"Do you think he's reliable?" Gu Yanchuan looked at Lin Chuyue expressionlessly.

Lin Chuyue glanced at him: "If what he said is true, then that's the key to breaking the deadlock."

"He is Shen Fang's younger brother." Gu Yanchuan's tone was cold. "Are you willing to hand over your trump card to a family member of a former enemy?"

Lin Chuyue lowered her eyelids: "We don't have that much time to wait for a perfect candidate right now. What he has is too important."

Gu Yanchuan took a step closer and said in a low voice, "You know I don't like this person."

“But this isn’t a matter of whether you like it or not,” Lin Chuyue said in a low voice. “It’s a matter of whether we can win right now.”

The two stared at each other, and a subtle tension filled the air.

Gu Yanchuan nodded slowly, a cold glint in his eyes: "Fine. I will personally investigate his background. If he dares to lie—"

Lin Chuyue said calmly, "Then I'll personally send him to hell."

IV. Escalation of Conflict

The following day, Shen Yan officially joined Lin's company as an "independent legal counsel." The news caused an uproar among the entire senior management.

Lin Yun immediately convened a small meeting and openly challenged the authorities:

"Lin Chuyue actually brought in Shen Fang's own brother? This is like inviting a wolf into the house!"

She continued to sow doubt among senior executives and tried to win over former subordinates who had been purged, attempting to stir up turmoil within the organization once again.

Meanwhile, an anonymous letter quietly appeared in the hands of the media and regulatory agencies, accusing Lin Chuyue of colluding with foreign capital to conduct money laundering through trusts and plotting to control the Lin family.

The letter was signed by an anonymous person, but the IP address was clearly located from Lin Zhengjia's family network.

V. The Lin family father and daughter relationship breaks down

Upon learning the news, Lin Chuyue rushed to the Lin family home late at night and pushed open the door to her father's study.

"What have you done?" Her voice was icy. "Did you send this letter?"

Lin Zhengguo denied it in a trembling voice, but his expression was flustered.

Lin Chuyue showed the screenshot: "You're using the Lin family's exclusive VPN, and only you have the password."

Lin Zhengguo was speechless for a moment.

Lin Chuyue's eyes finally lost their last trace of warmth: "Dad, I didn't blame you in the past because I knew you were deceived by Shen Fang. But now, I'm giving you a second chance, and you still sided with Lin Yun."

Lin Zhengguo clutched his chest, his face pale, his eyes filled with struggle.

Lin Chuyue slowly took a step back, her throat slightly hoarse: "From today onwards, you are no longer a shareholder of Lin's Group, nor are you my father."

The moment the study door closed, Lin Zhengguo finally burst into tears.
