Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 648 Blood Ties

Gunshots rang out on the dock, the wind rose and the waves surged, and the fire and smoke intertwined to create an apocalyptic scene.

Li Zhanchuan held Lin Chuyue tightly, blood streaming down his shoulder, yet he refused to retreat an inch. While firing to suppress the enemy, he shouted, "Chuyue, take Shen Yu and go! She can't fall into Lin Zhengguo's hands!"

Lin Chuyue hesitated for a moment.

Shen Yu... This girl has Shen Fang's blood in her veins and is also Shen Yanli's designated "heir". She was once molded into the Shen family's "ultimate pawn".

If she stays, she'll be a ticking time bomb.

If she takes control, it won't just be the Shen family that will be rewritten, but also her fate, as well as that of Li Zhanchuan, Chen Yulan, Gu Yanchuan, and others.

But in that instant, she saw the girl standing quietly in place, without crying, without struggling, and without even reacting to the gunshots, as if she had long been accustomed to chaos and death.

Lin Chuyue's heart tightened.

“She is not a weapon,” Lin Chuyue murmured.

Lin Zhengguo sneered, drew his gun and aimed it at Lin Chuyue, a murderous glint in his eyes, "If you take her away, you won't live either."

"Put down your gun." Gu Yanchuan's voice was chilling. He kicked over the iron box, blocking Lin Zhengguo's view, and at the same time, he leaped towards Lin Chuyue, pulling her behind cover.

Chen Yulan ordered the ISA special operations team to split into two groups and attack from both sides. In the blink of an eye, they had already taken out several of Lin Zhengguo's men.

The tide of battle turned quickly.

Lin Zhengguo suddenly waved his hand, signaling a retreat.

The yacht's cabin door opened again, and he jumped onto the railing, leaving behind his last words: "She will eventually come back to us. You can save her for a while, but not forever."

The wind and waves whipped up a dark shadow, and the yacht instantly sailed away from the dock and disappeared into the night.

Lin Chuyue lunged at Shen Yu and grasped the girl's cold hand.

She was as thin as a reed in the wind, her hands were cold, and her eyes were empty.

"Can you hear me?" Lin Chuyue asked softly.

The girl simply stared at her silently, offering no reply.

“She’s been trained too thoroughly.” Li Zhanchuan squatted down, his voice low and hoarse. “This child… is like living in another world.”

“She is my sister,” Lin Chuyue suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Yulan frowned: "Chuyue, she...isn't Shen Fang's child?"

"She is." Lin Chuyue's eyes were firm. "Shen Fang is my mother, and she is also my mother's child."

“But you are not her,” Gu Yanchuan said in a deep voice. “You are not a weapon she created.”

“That’s why I want to save her.” Lin Chuyue looked at Gu Yanchuan. “I want her to escape Shen Fang’s shadow.”

Chen Yulan's eyes were moved, and she finally nodded: "I will contact the ISA psychological intervention team to arrange for her to be transferred and taken back to Switzerland for personality desensitization training."

Lin Chuyue gently held Shen Yu's hand: "I will not give up on you, even if you don't remember who you are for the time being."

……

Three days later, Lin Chuyue and the others returned to China.

The media is still reeling from the aftermath of Vision Capital's acquisition of Huayao Energy. The outside world only sees the news that "business prodigy Lin Chuyue joins forces with Li Zhanchuan to reorganize the energy empire," but has no idea about the brutal life-or-death struggle behind the scenes.

As for the Lin family... a storm was already brewing.

-

Lin's Group Headquarters, Boardroom.

Lin Yun sat in the head seat, her expression indifferent, yet concealing a sharp edge.

"Lin Chuyue has been missing for several days, and Lin Zhengguo has also disappeared without a trace. We can't wait any longer."

She looked around, and as soon as she finished speaking, several mid-level shareholders nodded in agreement: "President Lin is right. The group urgently needs to stabilize its core leadership."

“Although Chu Yue is the chairman’s daughter, she lacks experience,” another person chimed in.

Lin Yun chuckled: "I won't interfere if she can negotiate projects with Vision Capital. But the Lin family can't be leaderless."

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open with a bang.

Lin Chuyue, dressed in a black trench coat, walked in slowly, her gaze calm: "It seems I missed a wonderful performance."

Everyone was shocked.

"You...you're not..."

"Missing?" Lin Chuyue smiled sarcastically. "Sorry to disappoint you."

She walked to the conference table and slapped a document on her hand: "Lin Zhengguo signed the board authorization letter before leaving the country, and I will be in charge of the operation of the group."

Lin Yun's expression changed drastically: "You're faking it?!"

Lin Chuyue slightly curled her lips and handed over the ISA document: "You can go to the International Court of Justice to verify the handwriting and authorization procedures."

Everyone gasped.

Lin Yun gritted her teeth and refused to back down: "Even if you have the authority to act as an agent, it doesn't mean you have the ability to continue leading the Lin Group!"

"You have the ability?" Lin Chuyue retorted calmly, "How do you explain the group's loss of 500 million in half a year?"

Lin Yun gritted her teeth: "That's market volatility—"

“But in my project with Vision Capital, I signed three energy acquisitions within two days, and one transaction brought in a billion yuan.”

With each sentence Lin Chuyue spoke, Lin Yun's face grew paler.

"You treat me like a pretty face at the front desk, but I'm actually learning things you don't understand."

Lin Chuyue approached her, her voice low and cold: "You stole my identity for a lifetime, but from now on, I will take it back one by one."

Lin Yun was taken aback, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, an assistant rushed into the conference room: "Ms. Lin, news from ISA—when Lin Zhengguo was surrounded and arrested by Swiss special police, there was another person with him..."

"Who?" Lin Chuyue stood up abruptly.

"It was a woman who called herself 'Shen Yao'."

"What?!" Lin Chuyue and Chen Yulan changed color almost simultaneously.

"Isn't she dead?"

The assistant looked nervous: "She disappeared three years ago in the explosion. Preliminary ISA analysis suggests she is very likely Shen Fang's younger sister."

Lin Chuyue's mind went blank.

Shen Fang's younger sister...

If Shen Fang is dead and Shen Yu has lost control, then this person—is very likely the real mastermind behind it all!

"Contact ISA immediately. I need all her information," Lin Chuyue ordered in a deep voice.

Gu Yanchuan suddenly whispered a reminder: "Chuyue, if she really is Shen Fang's sister, then she is more dangerous than you think."

Lin Chuyue's eyes darkened: "If she takes control of the remnants of the Shen family, then the battle... has only just begun."

In the distance, dark clouds churned in the sky, and thunder rumbled.

This is the prelude to a storm.

Lin Chuyue, however, was already standing at the center of the storm.
