Chapter 591 Between Truth and Falsehood
The Lin's Building, late at night.
The meeting room was brightly lit, yet the air felt as still as frost.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her phone screen constantly displaying system warnings. The Lin family website had been attacked again, and the main server had been paralyzed for a time. Although it was quickly repaired and put back online, the screenshot of the "fake transaction" had become the focus of attention online, and everyone was questioning her legitimacy and integrity.
The most shocking thing is that the transfer accounts in those screenshots actually exist. And one of them is a sub-account under Gu Yanchuan's name.
She looked at her phone and kept dialing Gu Yanchuan's number, but no one answered each time.
Lin Chuyue finally lowered her arm and turned to look at Lu Yan: "The other party's technique is very advanced. Can you pinpoint the source?"
“We are investigating, but…” Lu Yan frowned, “Their methods are extremely professional, and it is very likely that their internal system image was stolen. To completely clear their name, we need President Gu’s cooperation and authorization, as only he can decipher the flow of funds.”
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment: "Continue investigating, retrieve all operation data from three months ago."
She looked up, her eyes clear: "Someone is betting that we don't trust each other."

I. Gu Yanchuan's Choice
At this moment, in the study of the Gu family mansion, Gu Yanchuan was silently flipping through the PDF document from the anonymous email address.
The document details the flow of a merger and acquisition fund of up to 300 million, and the signatory at the end is none other than himself.
What's even more frightening is that the data is real; the time, signature, and IP address are all impeccable. Even his most trusted private email address was indeed logged in.
"Someone used my identity?" Gu Yanchuan murmured to himself.
Assistant Qin Zhe frowned: "Should we call the police?"
“No.” He shook his head. “Once this is made public, the future will be ruined. The shareholders won’t give me a chance to explain.”
He pondered for a while, then opened Lin Chuyue's missed call and turned it off again.
"You suspect her?" Qin Zhe asked.
“It’s not doubt, it’s… I dare not not doubt.” He smiled bitterly. “Do you know what a precision strike is? They know I’ve never truly trusted her.”
Qin Zhe was taken aback: "Then you..."
Gu Yanchuan closed his laptop, stood up, and put on his coat: "I need to see her."

II. Lin Zhengguo's Strategy
Meanwhile, in Lin Zhengguo's office, the fragrance of sandalwood rose gently from the incense burner.
He slowly put down the phone and looked at the "Mental Health Assessment Record" on the table.
"Lin Chuyue's mother has severe borderline personality disorder and has received electroconvulsive therapy."
This was an old file he'd dug up years ago, one that had once been locked in the bottom drawer, which he hadn't originally intended to bring up again. But now, Lin Chuyue was no longer in control of the situation, and he had to find a "safe" successor for the Lin family—even if it meant reinstating Lin Yun, it was better than letting Lin Chuyue run rampant.
The secretary respectfully handed over the documents: "A special board meeting is scheduled for three days from now. Ji Zhongnan has already signed in support of the proposal to 'remove the executive director'."
“Very good.” Lin Zhengguo nodded, his eyes cold. “If she really isn’t crazy, she should know, when faced with her mother’s medical records, that she has gone too far.”

III. Li Zhanchuan's Questioning
Midnight, at a seaside villa.
Lin Chuyue had just dealt with the crisis when she turned around and saw Li Zhanchuan standing at the door.
He was wearing a dark gray trench coat, his eyes calm and collected.
"Do you know how many documents Shen Fang left behind?" he asked bluntly.
Lin Chuyue's throat tightened: "I... only got a part of it. She destroyed a lot of it before she died."
“She didn’t destroy it.” Li Zhanchuan looked up at her. “She sent it out in batches. It included a surveillance video recording your mother’s mental state before her illness.”
Lin Chuyue's face turned pale instantly.
"And also, the financial transfer records between you and Lin Zhengguo," he continued coldly. "Your signature is on them when you were 17. You helped him transfer a gray fund for an overseas acquisition."
Lin Chuyue took a step back: "I don't remember that money. I never participated in it—I had no idea what that contract represented at the time."
“But you signed it.” Li Zhanchuan’s eyes were cold and hard. “Now, no one cares whether you know about it or not; they only care whether you ‘participated’ in it.”
"So you've started to distrust me too?" Lin Chuyue's voice trembled.
Li Zhanchuan remained silent for a long time, then stepped forward and forced her to the edge of the sofa: "I trust you, I trust you to the point of being willing to risk my life. But I can't let you drag me down with you."
Lin Chuyue's chest heaved violently: "What do you mean?"
"We need to pause."
His tone left no room for negotiation.
Lin Chuyue felt as if all her strength had been drained away, her voice hoarse: "You mean—you're going to quit?"
“I won’t betray you.” Li Zhanchuan’s tone softened. “But I will leave the core of Vision and temporarily not participate in any major decisions concerning you and the Lin family.”
She looked at him, her eyes slightly red: "You really don't trust me."
Li Zhanchuan slowly closed his eyes: "I believe you, but now, I dare not believe in the world."

IV. Lin Yun's "Substitute Plan"
Meanwhile, at a sanatorium in the suburbs, Lin Yun met the "stand-in" she had arranged—a girl named An Lin.
She has short hair, is thin, and her eyebrows and eyes are seven-tenths similar to Lin Chuyue's.
"What do you want to do?" Anlin asked her.
Lin Yun handed over a folder: "Fake identity, fake background, fake records. You will approach Lin Zhengguo as 'Lin Chuyue's illegitimate sister' and tell him that your mother also had a relationship with him back then—to trigger his anxiety."
"Will this work?"
“He’s almost driven mad by Chu Yue.” Lin Yun sneered. “You just need to add fuel to the fire. Make him lose control again and drive Chu Yue out of the Lin family for good.”
An Lin smiled, revealing a delicate yet cunning expression: "Then will she hate me?"
Lin Yun whispered, "She won't hate you. She'll only hate me."

V. The Night of the Breakup
At three in the morning, Lin Chuyue sat alone in her office.
The phone finally lit up; it was a message from Gu Yanchuan: "I'm downstairs. Come out and meet me."
She went downstairs wearing a coat and saw him standing in the lobby, holding a file folder in his hand.
“This is the declassified funds document, and I signed it,” he said. “This will clear half of your name, and the other half—we’ll find it together.”
Lin Chuyue's throat tightened: "You...believe me?"
Gu Yanchuan smiled faintly: "It's not that I'm not afraid of being deceived, it's that I'm more afraid that you won't be able to handle it alone."
She suddenly felt a lump in her throat and forced back her tears.
Just then, the screen outside the building suddenly flickered—
[Anonymous documents reveal further: Lin Chu-yueh's mother's medical records were concealed; Lin Cheng-kuo plans to send her to a mandatory evaluation and treatment center?]
A line of large red text appeared on the screen.
She and Gu Yanchuan looked up almost at the same time.
Lin Chuyue clenched her fists, her voice icy cold: "He dared to touch my mother..."
"What are you planning to do?" Gu Yanchuan asked, looking at her.
Lin Chuyue lowered her head, her eyes as cold as ice: "I want Lin Zhengguo to know—I am not a 'madwoman' he can control."
