Chapter 669 The Breaker and the Defender
At six o'clock in the morning, the lights were on in the global boardroom of the ISA headquarters building.
This is the most important hearing in ISA's nearly two decades of history, bar none.
Lin Chuyue, dressed in a dark gray trench coat, stood in the center of a round conference table, with the gold ISA logo behind her and a heavy document in her hand.
"I have formally submitted the ISA structural reform proposal – the Founding Rights Separation Plan."
"Starting today, ISA will eliminate all family lineage preference, and executives will not be allowed to obtain their seats through family inheritance. They must pass the rigorous assessment and election mechanism of the global board of directors."
A low murmur arose from the audience, and the expressions of several European directors changed drastically, clearly shaken.
Shen Yunsheng, however, remained unusually calm. He merely glanced at Lin Chuyue and slowly spoke:
"Ms. Lin, your proposed divestiture plan is indeed brilliant, but isn't it a bit too idealistic?"
“Since its inception, ISA has been an order built under the leadership of the Shen family. This is not only an emotional bond, but also the core of the system. Now you are asking to remove this heart—do you have a new heart to replace it?”
Lin Chuyue refused to back down: "ISA's system has become completely rigid over the past decade. You say it's about bloodline inheritance, but in fact, it's about the inheritance of benefits and a monopoly."
"I don't want to scrap ISA, I want to reboot it."
She paused, her eyes sharp:
"Didn't you say I couldn't get a foothold in ISA because I don't have a family background?"
"Alright, I'm standing right in front of you now, not relying on anyone, not relying on any surname—do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Shen Yunsheng raised an eyebrow, his tone meaningful: "What do you want to bet?"
Lin Chuyue pulled out an ISA (Special Encryption Instrument) chip and slammed it onto the table:
“I bet I can complete the ISA global senior management restructuring plan within thirty days, restart the review panel system, and establish a brand-new global execution network.”
"If I fail, I will resign from my position as CEO and permanently withdraw from ISA."
“If you fail, you must relinquish any control over the ISA Asia Pacific region and publicly withdraw from the ‘Old Blood Alliance’.”
The meeting room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
This is not just a structural reform; it is a showdown of power struggles at the highest levels within ISA.
A revolution that completely tears apart the old order of power and privilege.
Shen Yunsheng remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled:
"interesting."
"Then I accept your bet."
"But I also have one additional condition."
He pointed to the giant projection screen in front of him: "As you push forward this 'de-familialization' reform, you must publicly confront a new challenge."
The screen lit up instantly.
The image shows an old file photo, records of Lin Zhengguo's asset transfers, and the clandestine flow of some of the ISA Foundation's project funds over the past five years.
Shen Yunsheng said meaningfully:
"Lin Chuyue, this is your real Achilles' heel."
“Your father, Lin Zhengguo, in the fifth month after you joined ISA, secretly manipulated the ISA Investment Fund through overseas accounts to acquire a foreign company that had long been at odds with the Shen family.”
"Do you think others don't know about the blood ties between you and your daughter?"
"This is called the transfer of benefits."
"You want to abolish my family's power, yet you stand behind another corrupt father. Don't you find that ironic?"
Lin Chuyue's expression changed slightly, and her fingertips tightened slightly.
Li Zhanchuan stood outside the arena, his face suddenly darkening.
—This information is authentic.
Lin Chuyue once questioned Lin Zhengguo, but the latter avoided the topic and even said, "This is to help you gain more space."
She knew that Lin Zhengguo had long coveted ISA, but she never expected... that he would actually go to such lengths.
“You can deny it, but the ISA board is meeting right now.”
“If they determine that you are suspected of covering up Lin Zhengguo’s illegal involvement, your eligibility for the hearing will be terminated.”
Shen Yunsheng asked indifferently, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Chuyue slowly raised her head, her eyes as cold as if frozen for miles.
“I have never covered it up, nor have I ever defended him.”
She pulled out another document and spread it out in front of everyone:
"This is an anonymous investigation application I submitted three months ago, and the ISA's disciplinary inspection and supervision department has opened a case."
"It contains detailed records of all of Lin Zhengguo's suspicious activities outside the ISA system, along with surveillance and transfer evidence."
“I am not a member of the Shen family, nor will I take the blame for the Lin family.”
“From the very beginning, I treated them as enemies.”
Shen Yunsheng's eyes suddenly turned cold.
He clearly hadn't expected that Lin Chuyue had already prepared this move.
A few low laughs echoed in the conference room.
Scalia, CEO of the European region, nodded approvingly: "At least she is much more honest than some of our 'old aristocrats'."
“I support Lin Chuyue in continuing to implement the plan.”
Middle East CEO Basher nodded: "Her reforms could indeed bring about a new situation."
The number of votes lit up one by one on the screen.
Ten votes in favor, three votes against, and two abstentions.
Lin Chuyue won.
She slowly exhaled, but showed no joy.
Shen Yunsheng suddenly stood up and said in a low voice, "Lin Chuyue, don't be too happy yet."
"Since you dare to mess with the Shen family, you'd better be able to handle the consequences."
"The next thirty days will not only be the final battle for ISA."
"It will destroy your life."
After saying that, he turned and left, pushing open the door and exiting the room.
Lin Chuyue stood in the center of the conference room, feeling countless gazes focused on her.
She took a deep breath and said to her team behind her, "Start executing the plan."
"The first step is to freeze all of the Shen family's unfiled investment projects in ISA."
"The second step is to publicly announce the proposed adjustments to ISA's global senior management performance evaluation system."
"The third step is to initiate the process of forming a 'shadow delegation'."
?
After the meeting, Lin Chuyue returned to the ISA temporary office, where Li Zhanchuan stood by the window, holding a new report.
"Your father just convened an extraordinary board meeting of the Lin Group."
"He is prepared to publicly express 'strategic support' for ISA in order to quell the controversy."
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Does he think I need this kind of platform?"
"I will not let the Lin family get on my side."
Li Zhanchuan stared at her: "But Lin Zhengguo is your father."
Lin Chuyue murmured, "Yes... but it's also a bond that I severed with my own hands."
"From this day forward, I will not belong to any family."
"ISA doesn't belong to the Shen family, nor to the Lin family."
"It belongs to the true implementers."
Li Zhanchuan walked over and grasped her shoulders: "You've burned down the road, leaving only the path ahead."
"I will stay with you."
Lin Chuyue nodded: "I know."
?
Meanwhile, inside a private villa in London.
Shen Yunsheng looked down at an encrypted report, his eyes filled with malice.
"Lin Chuyue is indeed a tough nut to crack."
"It's time to launch the 'reserve program'."
A woman dressed in black emerged from the shadows and asked in a low voice, "Should we use people from within ISA?"
Shen Yunsheng sneered: "Of course."
"Isn't she going to restart the ISA execution network?"
“I made her see that the network had long been turned into a poison network by me.”
His eyes flashed with cold light: "Lin Chuyue, thirty days? I'll make sure you don't live to see that day."
?
At that very moment, in a hidden corner of the ISA internal network, a string of unfamiliar code slowly emerged.
"Plan S-β to be launched."
"Lin Chuyue has more than just enemies—she also has a secret about her past that has never been revealed before."
That string of code came from a former ISA executive who hadn't been mentioned in the past decade—
[Chen Yulan Archives]
Lin Chuyue was unaware that the real war had only just begun.

This chapter propels the internal structural reforms and bloodline disputes within ISA to a climax, with the showdown between Lin Chuyue and Shen Yunsheng officially entering the "open game" phase. Meanwhile, Lin Zhengguo's involvement exacerbates the internal rift within the main characters. The ending foreshadows future events—the "Candidate Project" and the "Chen Yulan File"—which will set the stage for even more conflict and suspense in the next chapter.
