Chapter 363 The Night is Deep
The atmosphere at the banquet had become increasingly tense, with everyone's attention focused on the mysterious man and Lin Chuyue. A palpable tension hung in the air, as if a massive bomb could explode at any moment.
Shen Fang's face was ashen, and she glared at Lin Chuyue through gritted teeth. She hadn't expected her meticulously planned scheme to collapse so suddenly. She had thought that with her powerful backing and control over Lin Zhengguo, she could firmly grasp everything and even completely eliminate Lin Chuyue. But today, all of that had vanished.
"Lin Chuyue, do you think you can win?" Shen Fang gritted her teeth, her voice as cold as ice. "You're nothing but a pawn of the Gu family!"
Lin Chuyue's lips curled slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "You're right, I am a pawn of the Gu family, but what about you? You've just drawn a circle for yourself, completely unaware that you've already reached a dead end."
Shen Fang stood up abruptly, her eyes filled with rage, almost losing control: "How dare you say that to me?! What gives you the right to say that to me?! You're nothing but a substitute, someone who can never truly replace Lin Yun!"
"Enough." Lin Zhengguo finally couldn't help but speak, interrupting Shen Fang. His eyes were complicated, with a hint of guilt and helplessness in his gaze as he looked at Lin Chuyue. His voice was hoarse and weary, "Shen Fang, shut up. You have no right to say these things anymore."
Shen Fang was stunned, seemingly unable to believe that Lin Zhengguo would say such a thing. Her eyes were fixed on Lin Zhengguo, as if trying to read something from his face, but in the end she only saw disappointment.
"You..." Shen Fang's voice suddenly turned sharp, "You've actually started betraying me too?"
"Who do you think you are?" Lin Zhengguo said, each word distinct and his voice growing colder. "You're nothing but a scoundrel. You destroyed everything with your own hands."
Watching this scene, Lin Chuyue felt a complex mix of emotions. She had thought she was alone in this confrontation. Unexpectedly, today's events had become Lin Zhengguo's final betrayal of Shen Fang. Although she understood it was merely a helpless choice her father had made, she still felt a strange sense of satisfaction.
At that moment, Li Zhanchuan finally stepped out, his every move carrying an undeniable aura. That coldness and majesty seemed to chill the air in the entire banquet hall.
"Shen Fang, stop wasting time," Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice, his gaze as sharp as a sword, piercing straight at Shen Fang. "Do you want to continue putting on this final farce here, or do you obediently withdraw and let us end all of this?"
Shen Fang was stunned by Li Zhanchuan's gaze. Although she maintained her composure on the surface, obvious fear was already showing in her eyes. Li Zhanchuan's words were like an invisible pressure, instantly making it hard for her to breathe.
"You..." Shen Fang gritted her teeth, anger and fear mingling in her eyes, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Li Zhanchuan didn't answer her, but turned to look at Lin Chuyue, his gaze gentle yet firm: "It's all over, we won."
A complex expression flashed in Lin Chuyue's eyes, but she remained calm: "It's not completely over yet." She turned to the mysterious man, "Who are you talking about as the real controller?"
The mysterious man seemed to have anticipated Lin Chuyue's question. He smiled slightly, a hint of cunning in his eyes: "The true controller is far more complex than you can imagine. And now, you can only face the impending consequences."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. She knew that behind those words lay even greater turmoil, and that she was about to face even more severe challenges. But she was already prepared—nothing could stop her march towards revenge.
Escalation of conflict
Just as everyone was immersed in the silence of the impending revelation of the truth, the air outside suddenly became unusually tense. Someone hurried in through the window and whispered, "President Li, the situation at the Gu family's place has changed drastically. It seems an uninvited guest has arrived."
Li Zhanchuan frowned slightly, quickly glanced at everyone, and then led Lin Chuyue towards the door. Lin Zhengguo and Shen Fang's expressions instantly turned serious.
"The Gu family has arrived?" Lin Chuyue asked in a low voice.
Li Zhanchuan didn't answer immediately. Instead, he gripped her hand tighter, his tone unusually urgent: "This time, our opponent is far stronger than you imagine. We must take action as soon as possible."
As the two hurried to the lobby entrance, the air outside seemed to freeze, filled with an indescribable sense of danger. In the distance, a black luxury car was parked outside. The door opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out, his face bearing a cold expression.
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. Her intuition told her that this person's identity was definitely not simple.
"Li Zhanchuan, Lin Chuyue." The man's voice was deep and cold, and the air in the entire hall froze the moment he finished speaking.
A complex light flashed in Li Zhanchuan's eyes. He stepped forward and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"
"You should know why I'm here." A cold smile flashed in the man's eyes. "Now, I have some things I need to make clear to both of you."
