Chapter 501 The Mystery of Bloodline
Early morning, Lin's Building.
Lin Chuyue sat in the president's office, reviewing the documents that Li Zhanchuan had sent over the previous night.
These documents contain private communication records between Gu Yanchuan and some senior executives of the CR Group, as well as an unencrypted financial statement. While not enough to completely ruin Gu Yanchuan's reputation, they are enough to make him temporarily unable to hold his head high on the board of directors.
However, she knew that Gu Yanchuan was not the kind of person who would give up so easily.
My phone vibrated and the screen lit up; it was a notification from the company's internal network.
— [An anonymous report regarding Chairman Lin's identity and equity inheritance].
Lin Chuyue's heart sank suddenly. She tapped the link with her finger and was redirected.
It was a whistleblower letter from an anonymous employee, detailing that Lin Chuyue was not Lin Zhengguo's biological daughter, and even revealing details that her biological father was suspected to be Li Yuanting, the head of the Li family. The letter included a blurred photo of a paternity test; although the specific data was unclear, it was enough to cause a huge uproar.
There was even a direct and incisive accusation:
"Lin Chuyue is not qualified to inherit the Lin family business at all, let alone serve as the chairperson!"
Lin Chuyue slowly sat up straight, her face expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil.
……
Within just ten minutes, the entire Lin's Building was in an uproar.
The executives' group chat exploded, and the news spread like wildfire.
The usually neutral CFO spoke first: "If this is true, the board of directors should reassess whether Chairman Lin's current position is legitimate."
Following closely behind was the Executive Vice President: "The Lin family is the continuation of the Lin family line. If Miss Chuyue is not of the Lin family bloodline, the legal validity of her inheritance will be redefined by the legal team."
Some have even subtly suggested that Lin Zhengguo may have known about the matter but deliberately concealed it, thus committing fraud.
……
"Snapped!"
Lin Zhengguo smashed the glass water glass on the conference table, shards of glass flying everywhere.
"Investigate! Find out who leaked it immediately!" he roared, furious.
The secretary stood nervously to the side, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.
"Chairman, the most important thing right now is dealing with public opinion, not..."
"Shut up!" Lin Zhengguo roared, his eyes red. "These people just want to kick my daughter out of the Lin family business. They're dreaming!"
But he himself felt uneasy.
He had indeed kept this a secret for over twenty years, and now he was powerless to cover it up any longer.
……
At this moment, Lin Chuyue did not choose to avoid the situation.
She convened an emergency meeting of senior executives.
The meeting room was packed; almost all the directors were present.
"You should explain yourself, Chuyue," the executive vice president said in an unfriendly tone.
“It’s not that we don’t trust you, but the board of directors must be responsible for the company’s stability.”
Lin Chuyue placed the documents in her hand on the conference table and slowly scanned everyone:
"Yes, I am indeed not Lin Zhengguo's biological daughter."
The meeting room erupted in an uproar.
“But I grew up in the Lin family. I have lived under the name Lin Chuyue for 27 years, dedicating myself to the Lin family, managing the Lin family, and saving the Lin family.”
“I have the ability, the qualifications, and enough equity to sit in this position.”
She raised her eyes, a cold light shining in them: "Lin Zhengguo has signed an agreement to transfer all his shares to me, and everyone present has also signed to confirm it."
She projected a stamped agreement onto the big screen.
"As for my background, I will leave it to the law and accept the company's legal department's investigation."
“But from now on, anyone who hypes up my identity or damages the Lin family’s reputation will be considered to be maliciously slandering me, and the company will reserve the right to pursue legal action.”
His words were powerful and resounding.
Some directors looked hesitant, but others sneered: "You can try to tough it out like this, but the public won't buy it. What the media and shareholders want is a legitimate, transparent, and uncontroversial successor."
"you are too naive."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly: "What the media and the public want is an heir who can lead the Lin family out of the crisis, stabilize the stock price, and expand revenue."
"Instead of a puppet with impeccable origins but mediocre abilities."
Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open.
Li Zhanchuan walked in, dressed in a suit, looking cold and solemn.
He glanced at everyone, his gaze settling on Lin Chuyue:
"I will clarify Lin Chuyue's background at the press conference tonight."
“On behalf of the Li family, I acknowledge her identity.”
"And will increase its stake in the Lin family by three percent in the name of the Li family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar!
The Li family is involved?!
Everyone present knew perfectly well what this meant.
Lin Chuyue is no longer fighting alone, but has a much larger and more powerful family background—the Li family!
Moreover, if this shareholding is finalized, Lin Chuyue will firmly hold the position of the largest shareholder, a position that no one can challenge.
……
"Are you crazy!" Lin Zhengguo roared in his office as he dialed Gu Yanchuan's number. "Why didn't you notify me beforehand? Did you leak her background information?"
"This matter... was originally just intended to give her a warning," Gu Yanchuan said calmly, "but I didn't expect Li Zhanchuan to step forward."
Lin Zhengguo trembled all over: "You're inviting a wolf into the house!"
"The entire Lin family is practically becoming an appendage of the Li family! Do you want to destroy the Lin family?"
Gu Yanchuan chuckled lightly: "The Lin family? You still have the right to talk about the Lin family?"
"You allowed a woman like Shen Fang to climb to the position of mistress, forced your own wife to her death, and watched Lin Chuyue die before your eyes in your past life. What right do you have to say you love her?"
Lin Zhengguo was speechless for a moment, his face turning ashen.
Gu Yanchuan added softly, "In this round, we've both lost."
"Lin Chuyue has never been a pawn."
“And we are the pawns she uses to orchestrate her scheme.”
……
As night fell, the press conference was held as scheduled.
Li Zhanchuan read the statement aloud in public:
"Ms. Lin Chuyue is a descendant of the Li family and has a legal identity and inheritance rights."
"The Li family supports Lin Chuyue's appointment as chairman of the Lin Group and will provide comprehensive support in terms of strategy, resources, and capital."
"Effective immediately, the Lin Group and the Li Group have reached a strategic cooperation agreement."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the media broke the headlines:
[A dramatic reversal in a wealthy family! Lin Chuyue is actually the true heiress of the Li family, and the Li family intervenes to stabilize the turmoil within the Lin family!]
[The Lin family's power struggle turns sour; Lin Zhengguo is sidelined, and his daughter joins forces with her fiancé to launch a full-scale counterattack!]
[After the CR Group's withdrawal of investment, may the Lin family be facing a turning point?]
……
The storm has just begun.
Lin Chuyue stood under the stage lights, her expression calm and serene.
She knew that even tougher battles lay ahead.
But she won't back down.
Because she is no longer the Lin family daughter who was at the mercy of others.
She is the daughter of the Li family and the head of the Lin family.
Yes, Lin Chuyue.
