Chapter 392 The Scheme at Wangjiang Villa
Lin Chuyue arrived at Wangjiang Villa on time.
The villa is situated on the riverbank with excellent views, yet tonight the atmosphere is strangely calm, as if undercurrents are surging.
As soon as she got out of the car, a servant came up to her and led her into the villa.
"Ms. Lin, please."
Lin Chuyue glanced around casually and noticed that there didn't seem to be many people at the banquet tonight. The entire villa hall was empty and oppressive, with only Luo Yurou sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine and leisurely swirling the liquid in her glass.
“Miss Lin, you’re really punctual.” Luo Yurou looked up, her smile ambiguous.
Lin Chuyue glanced at her: "Where's your brother?"
“He’s waiting for you.” Luo Yurou stood up and gestured for him to come with her. “Come with me.”
Lin Chuyue didn't say much and followed Luo Yurou upstairs.
Luo Tingxuan was waiting for her in the study.
……
Luo Tingxuan's test
The study was dimly lit. Luo Tingxuan sat behind his desk, casually flipping through an ancient book. Hearing footsteps, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lin Chuyue.
"Miss Lin, it is truly an honor to have you grace us with your presence at this banquet," Luo Tingxuan said with a slight smile and a gentle tone.
Lin Chuyue's gaze was indifferent as she cut straight to the point: "President Luo didn't call me here tonight just for pleasantries, did he?"
Luo Tingxuan closed the book and sighed softly, "Miss Lin is indeed straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush either."
He slowly got up, walked to the bookshelf, picked up a document at random, and handed it to Lin Chuyue.
Lin Chuyue glanced at it and immediately narrowed her eyes.
This is detailed information about some of the businesses under her name!
Not only the shares of the Lin Group, but also some of the industries she secretly acquired after her rebirth were all thoroughly investigated by Luo Tingxuan.
Lin Chuyue's heart sank, but she remained outwardly calm: "President Luo, are you investigating me?"
Luo Tingxuan smiled and said calmly, "Business is nothing more than information warfare. I just want to know how many trump cards my future partner has up his sleeve."
"Partner?" Lin Chuyue sneered. "When did President Luo think so highly of me?"
Luo Tingxuan stared at her, his gaze deep: "Miss Lin, you are smart, beautiful, and very capable, but I must remind you, Gu Yanchuan... is not a reliable ally."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm: "Oh? What do you mean by that, President Luo?"
Luo Tingxuan slowly walked up to her, his tone meaningful: "Do you know how Gu Yanchuan's mother died?"
Lin Chuyue was startled.
Gu Yanchuan's mother?
She knew that Gu Yanchuan's mother had died young, but she had never heard Gu Yanchuan mention the cause of her death!
“Her death was not an accident,” Luo Tingxuan said with a deep gaze, “but rather… a victim of the internal power struggle within the Gu family.”
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened: "What do you mean?"
Luo Tingxuan said in a low voice, "Gu Yanchuan's mother was originally the legal wife of the Gu family. Unfortunately, her death caused the Gu family's leader to completely side with another woman, Gu Yanchuan's stepmother."
Lin Chuyue's expression changed slightly.
She instantly realized something—
Gu Yanchuan's indifference towards his father, his disdain for his family, and even his years of resistance against the Gu family...
If what Luo Tingxuan said is true, then Gu Yanchuan's hatred has an explanation.
Luo Tingxuan continued, "Gu Yanchuan has always wanted revenge, so over the years, he has spared no effort in fighting against the Gu family, but..."
He paused, then slowly said, "He doesn't actually have a real chance of winning."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes: "What does President Luo mean?"
Luo Tingxuan's lips curled slightly: "Miss Lin, you are so smart, you should know which side to stand on to make the wisest choice."
Lin Chuyue understood instantly.
Luo Tingxuan summoned her tonight to make her betray Gu Yanchuan and stand on his side!
……
The allure of transactions
Lin Chuyue's mind raced, but her face remained impassive: "I appreciate President Luo's kindness."
Luo Tingxuan smiled slightly: "No rush, you can take your time to consider it."
As he spoke, he took out a contract and pushed it in front of Lin Chuyue: "If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give you these properties."
Lin Chuyue glanced at it and was shocked.
The contract prominently listed several highly promising companies, including one she had previously tried to acquire but failed to do so!
Luo Tingxuan was actually willing to sacrifice these companies in exchange for her cooperation?!
Lin Chuyue tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her eyes deepening: "President Luo is truly generous."
Luo Tingxuan looked at her and said in a low voice, "I believe that Miss Lin will make the wisest choice."
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes, her gaze calm: "What if I refuse?"
Luo Tingxuan smiled and said, "That depends on whether you can withstand the storm ahead."
The air suddenly turned icy cold.
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes. Luo Tingxuan's words were a complete threat!
……
Sudden car accident
After leaving the Wangjiang Villa, Lin Chuyue was deep in thought.
She wouldn't easily give in to Luo Tingxuan's threats, but she also knew that Luo Tingxuan wouldn't just be bluffing.
This game has officially entered the stage of a life-or-death struggle!
Sitting in her car, she sent Gu Yanchuan a message: "We need to talk."
But the next second—
"boom--"
A violent impact suddenly rang out!
Lin Chuyue's car was violently hit by a black SUV, and the entire car instantly went out of control and rolled over violently!
Her body slammed against the car window, a sharp pain shot through her, and blood trickled down her forehead...
This is no accident!
Her eyes turned cold, and before she lost consciousness, only one thought remained in her mind—
Luo Tingxuan has made his move!
