Chapter 439 Target Aiming
The night was deep, and the city's neon lights cast a cold, icy glow.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of this bustling city, but her heart was filled with coldness.
The police action just now was undoubtedly meant to put pressure on her, but the person behind it did not take direct action. Instead, they tried to use the power of the authorities to force her to hand over the evidence she had by having her report the incident.
Unfortunately, they underestimated her.
Her phone vibrated. Lin Chuyue looked down and saw it was a message about the progress of Wen Jingzhao's phone data recovery.
She opened the message, and the words on the screen instantly made her eyes darken—
"Some data was successfully recovered, but the core files were encrypted a second time, and it will take time to crack them."
She narrowed her eyes and tapped her phone screen lightly with her fingertips.
What does this mean?
This shows that what Wen Jingzhao possesses is far more complex and dangerous than they imagined.
Moreover—someone set up a special firewall on his phone to prevent anyone without authorization from accessing critical information.
This encryption method is something that ordinary hackers could never achieve.
In other words, the forces behind Wen Jingzhao are very likely to control top-notch technological resources, and may even be related to certain special organizations!
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, Li Zhanchuan walked over, handed her a cup of hot tea, and sat down next to her with a deep gaze.
"It seems that things are more complicated than we thought."
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, her eyes sharp: "But we have no way out."
She paused, her tone calm and firm: "No matter who is pulling the strings behind the scenes, we must uncover the truth."

Hidden danger
One o'clock in the morning, at an abandoned factory.
A black minivan slowly drove into the factory area and stopped in the darkness.
The car door opened, and a tall man stepped out, his gaze cold and his expression gloomy.
"How did things go?"
Inside the car, a man in a black trench coat slowly raised his head, a playful smile on his face: "Don't worry, the police have acted according to plan."
"But Lin Chuyue is more difficult to deal with than we imagined."
"Wang's men were outmaneuvered by her and ultimately had to retreat."
The tall man snorted coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly: "As expected, she's not as foolish as Shen Fang."
"However... this matter no longer requires police intervention."
The man in black raised an eyebrow slightly, his smile carrying a deeper meaning: "Oh? You're planning to make a move right away?"
"The evidence she has cannot be kept."
The tall man's tone was chilling, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "No matter who she is, if she continues to investigate, she must die."

Assassins Attack
It was 3 a.m., outside Lin Chuyue's apartment.
An inconspicuous silver-gray sedan was parked on the street corner. The man inside was wearing a black hat, his expression indifferent, his eyes fixed on the apartment door.
He slowly put on black gloves, opened the briefcase, and a silenced pistol lay quietly inside.
"Target confirmed."
He muttered to himself, opened the car door, and disappeared into the night.
-
Meanwhile, inside the apartment.
Lin Chuyue sat on the sofa, her brows slightly furrowed.
She always felt something was wrong.
The feeling of being watched heightened her alertness to the extreme.
Li Zhanchuan noticed her unusual behavior and glanced at her side slightly: "What's wrong?"
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "Don't you think... the atmosphere is too quiet tonight?"
Li Zhanchuan frowned, about to speak, when suddenly—
"boom!"
A slight noise came from outside the window!
Lin Chuyue's pupils contracted, and she almost instantly turned to the side!
"Whoosh-"
A bullet grazed her shoulder and lodged in the wall behind the sofa!
"There are snipers!"
Li Zhanchuan gave a low shout, quickly grabbed Lin Chuyue, pulled her into his arms, and pressed an emergency button at the same time.
Gu Yanchuan reacted immediately, rolling over and hiding behind cover, his gaze cold and deep: "It seems the other side is serious."
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, her gaze sharp: "How did they get here?"
"Haven't we already concealed our whereabouts?"
Li Zhanchuan's gaze turned cold: "Someone inside leaked the information."
-
Counterattack
The assassin's second bullet was fired!
But this time, Li Zhanchuan was prepared. He suddenly pulled Lin Chuyue over and dodged the fatal blow!
At the same time, the apartment's bulletproof system activated, and metal bulletproof curtains automatically fell from the windows, sealing off the entire room!
"Damn it!"
The assassin outside cursed under his breath, quickly put away his sniper rifle, and prepared to retreat.
However, just as he turned around, a dark shadow descended from the sky!
"Oh!"
The assassin's wrist was instantly grabbed, and then a knee strike landed heavily on his abdomen!
"cough--"
The assassin coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale!
He struggled to lift his head and saw that extremely indifferent face.
——Li Zhanchuan!
"Want to go?"
Li Zhanchuan sneered, his eyes as sharp as ice blades. He kicked the gun out of the assassin's hand and then punched him hard in the face!
The assassin struggled to fight back, but his movements were no match for Li Zhanchuan's speed!
In less than three seconds, the assassin was completely subdued!
Lin Chuyue strode over, her gaze icy as she looked at the man on the ground: "Who sent you?"
The killer gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Li Zhanchuan smiled coldly, raised his gun, and pointed it at the assassin's wrist: "You won't talk? Fine."
"But you know... my patience is limited."
-
A greater crisis
The assassin ultimately couldn't hold on.
When pushed to his limit, he finally blurted out a few names.
“...It’s ‘Black Scales’.”
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan's expressions changed simultaneously.
"Black Scales..."
This name is all too familiar.
It was an underground organization that operated in the shadows, primarily engaged in commercial infiltration, assassination, and intelligence trafficking. Their clients were located all over the world, and they even had intricate connections with certain military forces.
If the mastermind behind this is indeed "Black Scale"—
Therefore, the danger they face will be more terrifying than they imagined!
Lin Chuyue slowly exhaled, a bloodthirsty coldness flashing in her eyes.
"Since they've made their move..."
She chuckled softly, her voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness.
"Then don't blame me for... being impolite."
