Chapter 405 The Aftermath Has Not Yet Subsided
Lin Yun's car plunged off the bridge, and the police searched all night but never found her body.
This incident quickly caused a huge uproar in high society, with everyone speculating whether Lin Yun was really dead or had fled.
Lin Chuyue stood in front of the French windows, watching the morning light gradually stream in, her fingers gently tapping on the windowsill.
Her intuition told her that Lin Yun was not dead.
But the biggest question now is—where did she go?
Li Zhanchuan walked to her side, handed her a glass of warm milk, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Chuyue took the milk, her brows furrowing slightly: "I always felt that Lin Yun wouldn't die so easily; she might be lurking in the shadows."
Li Zhanchuan gently stroked the rim of his glass, his gaze cold and deep: "If she is still alive, I will definitely find her."
……
Lin Yun's Escape
Meanwhile, in a simple apartment dozens of kilometers away from the accident site—
Lin Yun huddled in the corner, her face pale, with a bandage wrapped around her forehead, the bloodstains soaking through the gauze.
Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped her phone tightly.
She was lucky to survive last night's car accident; at the last moment, she staggered out of the car and tumbled into the weeds under the bridge.
Now, she has not only lost everything, but she doesn't even have a single document to prove her identity.
With only a few tens of thousands of dollars left in cash, she found this dilapidated apartment to stay in temporarily.
"This can't go on..." she murmured softly.
She has to turn things around.
She must make Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan pay the price!
She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
The moment the call connected, her voice was low and cold: "I need you to do something for me."
The other party was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Given your current situation, what kind of reward can you offer?"
Lin Yun sneered: "Haven't you always wanted Lin's confidential information? I'll give it to you."
The other person paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "It seems you've really been pushed to the limit."
"Enough with the nonsense." Lin Yun's voice was filled with hatred. "I want Lin Chuyue dead!"
The person on the other end of the phone slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, their voice low and dangerous: "Deal."
……
Lin Chuyue's counterattack
On this day, Lin Chuyue was holding a meeting at the company when her assistant suddenly rushed in, looking rather grim.
"Mr. Lin, a lot of negative information about you has suddenly surfaced online..."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly: "What kind of dirt?"
The assistant handed over the phone: "Take a look."
Lin Chuyue looked down and saw a trending topic on Weibo—
The Lin family heir concealed his crimes, and his true colors have been exposed!
After clicking through, a list of numerous "crimes" against her was shockingly revealed:
"Lin Chuyue rose to power through improper means and caused the death of her ex-fiancé's relatives!"
"The Lin Group's recent projects are suspected of being conducted in violation of regulations, and there are many shady dealings behind them!"
"The true face of the heiress is revealed: How did Lin Chuyue drive her sister to her death step by step?"
Lin Chuyue sneered when she saw these words.
She didn't need to guess; she knew who was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
"Lin Yun..." she murmured the name, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
Li Zhanchuan walked in at this moment, took the phone and glanced at it. His face darkened: "It seems that she really is not dead."
Lin Chuyue closed her phone, her eyes icy: "Since she won't behave herself, then don't blame me."
She picked up the phone and coldly ordered, "Notify the public relations department that I want all these rumors suppressed within 30 minutes."
……
Crisis breaks out
Although Lin Chuyue's public relations team acted quickly to suppress the negative news, the impact of this incident is still unfolding.
That evening, a financial media outlet suddenly released an "exclusive scoop"—
A major investment plan of the Lin Group is about to face a crisis of capital withdrawal!
In just a few hours, Lin's stock price plummeted by five percent!
Board members put pressure on Lin Chuyue, demanding an explanation.
Late at night, Lin Chuyue sat in her office, looking at the stock price curve on the screen, her fingertips lightly tapping the table.
She was calmer than everyone else.
Because she knew very well that this was Lin Yun's second wave of attacks.
The goal was to drive her to the brink of despair and put her in a difficult situation!
Unfortunately, Lin Yun underestimated her.
Lin Chuyue made a phone call, her voice calm: "Tell those investors who withdrew their investment to come to the company tomorrow. I have something to say."
……
Lin Chuyue's counterattack
The next day, in the conference room, Lin Chuyue faced a group of investors and said calmly, "Everyone, I know your concerns."
She turned on the screen and projected a data analysis table: "This is our latest financial data. As you can see, despite the attacks of rumors, our market performance remains stable."
She smiled slightly, her gaze sharp: "If you withdraw your investment now, it's tantamount to giving up this piece of the pie."
The investors looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.
One of the seasoned investors paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Ms. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Chuyue said calmly, "I won't force you to stay here, but if you choose to leave today, there's no way you can come back later."
Her words carried weight, and many investors began to hesitate.
Ultimately, after a brief discussion, most people chose to continue to wait and see and did not withdraw their investment.
Lin Yun's move was easily neutralized by her!
……
Hidden crisis
That evening, Lin Chuyue was about to leave the company when she suddenly received a text message on her phone.
She clicked on it and her pupils contracted slightly.
The text message contained a photo—
The person in the photo is her father, Lin Zhengguo!
He was tied to a chair, his mouth was gagged, and he looked terrified!
Immediately afterwards, another text message arrived—
[Want to save him? Come see me alone, carrying the shareholding agreement.]
Sender: Lin Yun!
Lin Chuyue's fingers tightened, and her eyes suddenly sharpened.
She looked up at Li Zhanchuan, her voice low and deep: "Lin Yun is starting to really go crazy."
Li Zhanchuan narrowed his eyes and smiled dangerously: "Finally willing to show yourself?"
Lin Chuyue stared at her phone, a cold smile playing on her lips: "Then let's play along..."
Lin Yun—Do you think I'll let you turn things around again?
