Chapter 487 A Father's Debt as Heavy as a Mountain
Lin Chuyue sat in her office, repeatedly playing that video.
In the hazy darkness, Lin Zhengguo, dressed in a dark gray suit, was clearly seen stepping out of a black sedan. The direction he walked was the very spot where Lin Chuyue was last seen before her accident.
At the end of the video, there is also a string of cold text:
What you perceive as an "accident" is never an accident at all.
Her fingers clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Not long ago, she had just "temporarily" rescued her father from Gu Yanchuan's suppression of the board of directors, giving the Lin family some breathing room. But now, this video pierced her heart like a sharp blade.
She refused to believe that her father would harm her.
But the appearance of this email made it impossible for her to continue deceiving herself.
There was a knock on the door, and the assistant reported in a low voice, "Chairman Lin is here and says he wants to see you."
Lin Chuyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Let him in."
-
Lin Zhengguo looked much older than before, with completely white temples and a hunched back. But his eyes still held a stubbornness and pride.
As soon as he entered, he said, "Chuyue, the company's current situation is not suitable for you to continue to hold on. I've contacted several senior directors, and if you're willing to step down, I'll take over."
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes, her expression indifferent: "Are you here to force me to hand over power?"
"I'm saving you!" Lin Zhengguo slammed his fist on the table. "You're in a very dangerous situation right now, every step could lead to your demise! So what if Li Zhanchuan wakes up? Can he protect you for a while, but for a lifetime?"
"But can you guarantee that you won't push me into the abyss again?"
She pulled up the video, slowly zoomed in, and froze the moment when Lin Zhengguo appeared at the "car accident scene".
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Lin Zhengguo's face turned deathly pale. "Where did you get this?"
“Someone brought it.” She stared at him, her voice almost trembling. “Tell me, why were you there?”
"I—" He opened his mouth to defend himself, but could not utter a single word.
Silence is more lethal than any words.
Lin Chuyue slowly stood up. "Dad, if you did this to save me, I can understand. But if... it's for some other reason."
"I will personally make you pay the price."
Lin Zhengguo slammed his fist on the table: "You've changed!"
"You forced me to change," Lin Chuyue said indifferently. "You said you were training me, but you threw me into the Lin Group and let me be manipulated by others; you said it was for my own good."
"But you know, I've died once."
“From the day I was reborn, I was no longer the Lin Chuyue who could be manipulated by you.”
Lin Zhengguo was stunned, looking at her as if he understood but not quite.
At that moment, for the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
"Get out, Chairman."
Lin Chuyue gave the order in a cold voice, as if she had truly severed the last thread of connection between father and daughter.
-
On the other side, Gu Yanchuan also saw the video.
He sat in the boardroom, indifferently closed the video, and looked up at Shen Qingyuan.
"Are you sure it was Lin Zhengguo who did it?"
Shen Qingyuan chuckled: "Didn't you already know he had a problem? This little bit of anger should be enough for you to make a decision, right?"
Gu Yanchuan picked up his coffee and said slowly, "I remember our agreement was that Lin Chuyue would voluntarily relinquish her power, rather than... forcing her to take a desperate path."
Shen Qingyuan narrowed his eyes: "President Gu, do you still have feelings for her?"
“She’s your fiancée in name only, so I can understand if you hit her. But if you’re going to be soft-hearted, then there’s no need to continue working together.”
Gu Yanchuan's brows remained unchanged, but his voice turned colder: "You are not Shen Fang, I will not be threatened by you."
Shen Qingyuan was taken aback, then sneered: "You're becoming more and more like Li Zhanchuan."
Gu Yanchuan stood up and said calmly, "No, I'm just becoming less and less like the 'puppet you used to manipulate' I used to be."
"Lin Chuyue's fate will be decided by me personally."
-
At the same time, Li Zhanchuan left the hospital with the critical care medical records and appeared downstairs at the Lin family's building immediately.
Wearing sunglasses and a simple black suit, his appearance in the lobby caused a sensation among all the employees.
"That's... President Li?"
"Wasn't it said that he was... unconscious?"
Lin Chuyue had just finished dealing with Lin Zhengguo when she heard the commotion and Li Zhanchuan was already standing at the door of her office.
She looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes.
"How did you come?"
Li Zhanchuan took off his sunglasses, his eyes cold and icy: "I've come to pick you up."
"You've played long enough, it's time for me to take over."
Lin Chuyue looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes, but she stubbornly turned her head away: "This is not your battlefield."
“Now it is,” he said calmly. “Shen Qingyuan wronged me, so naturally I have to retaliate.”
“Moreover—” he took a step closer and whispered, “While you were away, I discovered that some of Shen Fang’s former subordinates had infiltrated the company.”
Lin Chuyue suddenly looked up.
Li Zhanchuan's tone was extremely cold: "Not everyone around you is your person."

Chapter Ending Explosion:
Late at night, Gu Yanchuan's secretary delivered an encrypted file.
Inside was an anonymous whistleblower letter and three contracts—
The person who signed it was Lin Zhengguo.
The contract clearly states:
Five years ago, Lin Zhengguo had already "transferred" some of Lin's shares to a mysterious fund called "Tiancheng Capital," and the person in charge behind this fund was none other than Shen Qingyuan.
Gu Yanchuan slowly closed the file, his expression cold and stern.
"Lin Chuyue... let's see how you handle this."
