Chapter 573 Undercurrents Under the Dawn
Morning light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the spacious conference table in the "cloud-top meeting room," but it couldn't dispel the shocking cracks on the table.

I. The First Test After Dawn
Lin Chuyue spoke first: "We have just won the legal injunction, but the real battle has just begun."
Gu Yanchuan twirled his pen, his brow furrowed: "Someone could overstep their authority and lift the ban at any time. We must first restructure the board of directors to ensure that the rights of the temporary senior management are not shaken."
Shen Yan pursed his lips and said, "I agree, but the shareholders' meeting has not been held yet, and any new plan must obtain the support of a majority of shareholders."
Luo Zhen smiled coldly: "But the shareholders are secretly controlled by Lin Yun and CR. We are not even sure about the most basic votes now. If we want to restructure, it will be a fierce battle."
For the first time, the four had a public disagreement about "taking the next step".

II. Lin Yun's Public Opinion Backlash
Meanwhile, in a small auditorium of a hotel in the city center, Lin Yun was live-streaming to several financial media outlets: "That 'old private message' shows that Lin Chuyue had intentionally delayed legal proceedings, just to wait for the stock price to fall before reorganizing the group."
Below the live stream, the comments section exploded – countless people began to question whether there was any "bribery" behind the court's injunction.
Lin Chuyue looked at the image and text on her phone screen, which had been edited out of context, and her eyes turned cold: "She's started another propaganda war, interpreting our victory as a conspiracy."
Gu Yanchuan gripped her hand tightly: "Ignore those snippets; we need to produce more evidence to set the record straight."

III. Lin Zhengguo's Under-the-table Deals
As night fell, in a luxurious private dining room outside the "Cloud Meeting Room," Lin Zhengguo and a representative of the CR Consortium spoke in hushed tones:
“The agreement lacks flexibility. I hope to quietly repurchase the 10% restricted shares in the name of the family, and then sell them at the market price after the storm has passed.”
The CR representative tapped his fingers: "The compliance review is still ongoing, and time is not on our side. But if we can bring Lin Chuyue down, it will all be worth it."
When their father decided to take a gamble, Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan were completely unaware that what they thought was their last line of defense was being silently crumbled behind their backs.

IV. Shen Yan's Moral Choice
Late at night, Shen Yan received a call from her mother: "Yan, your position is unstable, and I'm afraid that things at home will affect you... I have to deal with those so-called 'past events'."
His heart skipped a beat: if his mother wanted him to give up his investigation into Lin Yun and CR in order to protect his safety, then his vow to "clear his mother's name" would also collapse.
Hesitating, he remembered what Lin Chuyue had once told him: "True betrayal is not in the hands of others, but in the moment you turn away."
He gripped his phone tightly, but the crying on the other end made it difficult for him to make a decision.

V. Luo Zhen's Bottom Line Test
CFO Luo Zhen remained alone in the empty finance department, reviewing the latest board resolution: one of the "emergency authorization clauses" stated that if the interim board of directors deemed it necessary, it could unilaterally freeze dividends and share transfer rights.
She slammed her hand on the table: "My promises were just empty words! Those verbal guarantees were nothing but tools to win me over."
Anger and disappointment mingled within her, and she sent a message to the contact person in Lin Yun's team: "I am willing to cooperate, but the conditions you offer must be even more favorable than they are now—otherwise, I will expose the evidence of your manipulation of the program."
In the struggle between self-interest and conscience, she also found herself on the most dangerous edge.

VI. The Standoff Before the Storm
When the night was still and quiet, the four of them gathered again in the command room, but the scene was no longer one of trust.
Gu Yanchuan was the first to challenge: "Since Father is colluding with CR behind the scenes, Shen Yan, where exactly are you on our side?"
Shen Yan raised his eyes: "I am doing this for my mother and for the Lin family. But you don't know that I have a bottom line—once it is crossed, I will produce all the evidence of the transactions."
Luo Zhen sneered: "You all have secrets. If that's the case, why are we even gathered together?"
Lin Chuyue looked at them, her eyes flashing with pain and determination: "Because this group needs us—at least for now, I will not abandon any of those who have fought alongside me."
Finally, she composed herself, her voice low but undeniable: "We must squeeze out before tomorrow's shareholders' meeting, otherwise the decision-making power will be in the hands of those lurking in the shadows."
