Chapter 292 A Cold Choice
Lin Chuyue sat at her desk, the view outside the window becoming increasingly blurry as the sun set. She looked down at the document in her hand, her fingertips lightly tracing over the few lines of text—information about Deng Wenhao.
Gu Yanchuan had thoroughly investigated Deng Wenhao's background. Although he appeared to be a gentle and refined investor, he was actually a ruthless business operator. Several years ago, the Shen family had several in-depth collaborations with him, but soon after, the Shen family suddenly revealed serious financial problems, while Deng Wenhao seemed to have remained unscathed.
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, her mind racing with potential crises. These business tycoons were not to be underestimated; each possessed hidden power and resources. She wasn't just outsmarting Deng Wenhao, but also battling the forces behind him.
“If we don’t act, Deng Wenhao will become a threat sooner or later,” Gu Yanchuan said softly beside her. His tone remained calm, but a hint of worry flickered in his eyes. For Lin Chuyue, all enemies had to be under her control; any unease would affect her next move.
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, her eyes becoming even more determined. "I know. He is indeed a dangerous person, but some people need to experience a complete blow before they can truly lower their guard."
She picked up the phone and dialed a number. A steady voice quickly came from the other end: "Ms. Lin, what's wrong?"
“I need a report on Deng Wenhao’s recent investment activities, the more detailed the better,” she said succinctly, her tone completely flat, as if it were just a routine work assignment.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon," the man on the other end of the phone replied, then hung up.
Lin Chuyue's gaze returned to the documents, and a new plan quickly formed in her mind. She knew that Deng Wenhao wouldn't easily reveal his true intentions. To defeat him, she had to understand his weaknesses more thoroughly, utilize all available resources, and force him into a corner.
Another storm
Just as Lin Chuyue was preparing for her next plan, another storm quietly swept through the business world.
Deng Wenhao seemed to have noticed Lin Chuyue's actions. He began to secretly plot, putting pressure on some key business figures in an attempt to gain more resources. He knew that Lin Chuyue had begun to challenge his authority, and if he didn't react, he would definitely be led by her.
The first warning Lin Chuyue received came from Lin Yun. Lin Yun, who hadn't contacted her directly for several months, suddenly sent Lin Chuyue a subtle reminder through private channels: "Do you think you can sit comfortably in this position? Deng Wenhao is not so easy to deal with."
Lin Chuyue's lips curled up slightly, making no attempt to hide her contempt: "This is your family's mistake, not mine."
She had long known that women like Lin Yun were only capable of stabbing people in the back, and that those involved were often blinded by their own perspective. Lin Yun knew in her heart that she had long since lost the opportunity to inherit everything from the Shen family, and that Lin Chuyue now held far more power, making even Lin Yun herself deeply uneasy.
"Tell Deng Wenhao that if he dares to threaten me, he'll face the consequences," Lin Chuyue replied coldly.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue didn't act immediately. Instead, she sat quietly for a moment, pondering how to break Deng Wenhao's lead. She knew that the more eager she was to retaliate, the easier it would be to fall into the enemy's trap. Therefore, she decided to observe the situation first and strike when the opportunity presented itself.
Breaking the deadlock
A few days later, Lin Chuyue's plan was nearing completion. Through Gu Yanchuan's connections, she successfully obtained some important information about Deng Wenhao's recent investments. It turned out that he was currently attempting to acquire a company called "Hongxin Technology," which was facing financial difficulties.
“This tech company is a key breakthrough for him. Deng Wenhao may want to quickly expand his sphere of influence through this acquisition.” Gu Yanchuan flipped through the documents on the table and analyzed for Lin Chuyue, “And the chairman of Hongxin Technology also has some old acquaintances with us. If you can win him over, Deng Wenhao’s plan may be hindered.”
A cold glint flashed in Lin Chuyue's eyes. "Win them over? Or destroy them completely?" Her tone carried a sharp smile.
Gu Yanchuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Destruction is the ultimate goal." He nodded, confirming Lin Chuyue's thoughts.
"Then it's settled." Lin Chuyue finally decided that she would cut off this connection at its root and completely thwart Deng Wenhao's plan. Zhang Yuhao, the chairman of Hongxin Technology, had met her once before, and this was precisely the breakthrough point for her to break Deng Wenhao's situation.
Therefore, Lin Chuyue began to make arrangements, using her resources and relationship with Gu Yanchuan to contact Zhang Yuhao first and state her conditions. She knew that the business world was like a battlefield, and every step had to be flawless.
The winds of change are blowing again.
As Lin Chuyue's actions unfolded, Deng Wenhao clearly felt the pressure. He hadn't expected Lin Chuyue to find a way to break the deadlock so quickly, swiftly severing a crucial part of his resource chain. News of their power struggle had already quietly spread throughout the business world, becoming the focus of much attention.
"It seems your opponent is not simple," Gu Yanchuan said thoughtfully.
Lin Chuyue simply smiled faintly, "He overestimates himself. Every battle in the business world is nothing more than a game of chess. I just made the first move and took control of the situation."
She knew that Deng Wenhao would not give up easily, and he would definitely make another effort next, but that was exactly what she was looking forward to—every step the enemy took would be an opportunity for her to reinforce her position.
