Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 588 The Truth Detonator

The conference room lights were glaring, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Lin Chuyue stepped onto the stage, facing over a hundred private equity shareholders and cameras from various financial media outlets. Her expression was composed, yet her eyes were sharp as knives.

Behind her, Lin Yun's "crisis statement" from a few minutes earlier still remained on the huge LED screen:

—"The Lin Group, under the leadership of Lin Chuyue, had its technology system hacked, data tampered with, employees involved in illicit transactions, and the Vision Fund acquisition case is suspected of information fraud."

The media swarmed in with questions, the shareholders were indignant, and even the senior investors standing in the front row looked indifferent.

Gu Yanchuan stood in the corner, silently watching Lin Chuyue's retreating figure. He knew that she had to shoulder this battle alone.

But the real storm is yet to come.

?

I. Her trump card

Lin Chuyue raised her hand to signal for silence, her tone firm:

"Regarding the system hacking issue, we have reported the case to the police and identified the responsible parties. According to the preliminary results of the current technical review, the system permission change was carried out by my authorized person, Luo Zhen, but I must state that there are major suspicions of forgery in this matter."

A commotion broke out in the audience.

She paused for a moment, then looked up at Lin Yun sitting in the front row:

"More importantly, we discovered that the relay IP for this hacking attack was located on a server rented by Qisheng Capital's Hong Kong branch. Cheng Yi, one of the directors of Qisheng Capital, is the funding party that Lin Yun is cooperating with."

Lin Yun's expression changed drastically.

Lin Chuyue calmly said, "I have authorized Mr. Gu to represent me in transferring this server interaction record and permission record to the public security technical department and the Cyberspace Administration of China, and at the same time provide it to the China Securities Regulatory Commission for filing."

She looked around the room, her voice even colder: "If anyone in today's meeting hopes to force the board to replace someone prematurely by inciting public opinion, please wait until the law enforcement agencies close their case."

The scene erupted in uproar, with one media member shouting, "Mr. Lin, what about the recording? Did you admit to that recording?"

Lin Chuyue calmly responded: "I never said such a thing. The recording is fake; the technical team has detected signs of splicing. Relevant legal documents have also been submitted."

Some people in the audience still do not trust it.

Just then, Gu Yanchuan walked onto the stage and projected a document onto the screen:

— “Cheng Yi’s personal account fund inflow record”, “Li Tong’s confession of privately delegating power”, “System log record and data comparison analysis”.

These documents cut through the noise like sharp swords, and the scene gradually fell silent.

Lin Yun, however, was pale-faced and clenched her fists, yet she forced herself to remain seated.

II. The Cost of Trust

After the meeting, Lin Chuyue stayed behind to organize the materials. Gu Yanchuan approached her, his eyes calm and steady.

"Are you sure you want to take out Shen Yan's document?" he asked.

Lin Chuyue did not answer immediately, but only looked at the USB drive he had placed on the table.

“I need to shut everyone up, especially Lin Yun.”

Gu Yanchuan sighed: "Once that thing is made public, not only Lin Yun, but your father will also be implicated. The 'Merger and Acquisition Capital Intent Letter' that Lin Zhengguo personally signed ten years ago does indeed involve manipulation of asset valuation and shell company accounting."

Lin Chuyue lowered her eyelashes, but her tone was even colder: "He chose to believe Shen Fang back then, and that was the price he paid. Now I want to protect the company, not him."

She paused, then continued, "As you saw, someone here today was bribed by Lin Yun, and she's even started contacting shareholders to vote to remove me. I'm going to deal with her once and for all."

Gu Yanchuan's voice was deep: "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Chuyue looked up at him: "I'm scared. But I'm even more scared of doing nothing."

They gazed at each other for a long time before Gu Yanchuan finally whispered, "I will stay with you."

She nodded slightly: "I need you to be present at the board meeting tomorrow."

III. Luo Zhen goes missing

Just as Lin Chuyue was preparing for a complete counterattack, an even more serious piece of news arrived.

At 10 p.m., the deputy general manager of the Lin Group rushed over, looking terrified:

"President Lin... Luo Zhen has gone missing."

Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean?"

“We followed company policy and asked him to cooperate with the investigation. We had arranged to meet him at the law firm at 8 p.m. tonight... but he didn’t show up, his phone was off, and we couldn’t find him.”

Gu Yanchuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Immediately locate the IP address where he last used the company system and check if he transferred data from the company server."

“Also,” Lin Chuyue said coldly, “have someone investigate his home, all his accounts, funds under his family’s names, his travel records, bank statements, and social media accounts. We must find him tonight.”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

No one expected that Luo Zhen would suddenly disappear just as Lin Chuyue and Lin Yun were about to face off.

Even more terrifying, Gu Yanchuan also discovered a detail: Luo Zhen was very likely not Lin Yun's man, but rather—

The "spies" planted by Shen Yan in his early years.

IV. Lin Yun's Last Card

At 3 a.m. the next day, Lin Yun received a phone call.

It was her personal assistant in Hong Kong calling: "Ms. Lin, something bad has happened. We're being watched. Someone has searched the batch of 'Original Drafts of Vision Fund Acquisition Reports' that you asked me to hide."

Lin Yun roared, "Are you a piece of trash?! How could you let someone find that information?!"

"The other party arrived very quickly; they were sent by Gu Yanchuan."

Lin Yun gritted her teeth, her face as pale as paper.

She had realized that Lin Chuyue's counterattack was far more ruthless than she had anticipated.

She chuckled coldly in a low voice: "Since she's pushed us this far, then let's die together."

She dialed another number.

"Contact Cheng Yi and activate 'Plan D'."

The other party hesitated: "That's the final step..."

"Now is the final step."

She hung up the phone, looked out the window at the barely bright sky, her eyes like a snake's:

"Lin Chuyue, if you dare to reveal what happened back then, I dare to send your father to jail."

?

V. Pre-war Ultimatum

At eight o'clock in the morning, Lin Chuyue stood outside the conference room on the top floor of the Lin Group building, her eyes bloodshot, her face pale but resolute.

She clutched the photocopy of the document Shen Yan had given her tightly in her hand—

Ten years ago, Lin Zhengguo, Shen Fang, and a former senior executive of the Gu Group jointly signed a false merger and acquisition agreement to inflate the valuation of Lin's Group, obtain external financing, and then falsely inject capital into a shell fund under the Gu Group.

The money was eventually transferred to an overseas account controlled by Shen Fang.

The incident that happened to the Gu family back then, including the death of Li Zhanchuan's mother, may also be related to that merger and acquisition.

Lin Chuyue closed her eyes, her voice icy cold:

"Today, I must sever all ties with the old debts."

The door was pushed open, and Gu Yanchuan walked in: "Everything is ready. All board members are present. Lin Yun is also here."

She nodded slightly.

Gu Yanchuan looked at her slightly thin back and felt a sudden tightness in his heart: "If you regret it, it's not too late now."

Lin Chuyue simply chuckled softly:

“I don’t regret it. But I hope I won’t hate my father because of it.”
