Chapter 257 The storm is coming
The night in Haicheng was deep and dark, with churning clouds and a sense of impending doom hanging in the air. Occasionally, a car would speed by, breaking the silence of the night. The flickering neon lights reflected on the damp asphalt, like the dark, turbulent waters of a deep sea.
In the study of the Lin residence, the bright lights illuminated several documents spread out on the table. Lin Chuyue wore a black silk shirt, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, giving her an air of nonchalance and aloofness. Her fingers lightly tapped the table, her gaze calm and profound as she stared at the recently delivered investigation report, her fingertips applying slight pressure.
The handwriting on the document was clear, each word like a needle piercing straight into her eyes—
Shen Fang has already begun to take action.
Her methods remained ruthless, even faster than expected.
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, a half-smile playing on her lips. Had Shen Fang finally run out of patience and was about to intervene herself?
This saved her a lot of trouble.
She closed the file and looked up at the man opposite her.
Li Zhanchuan sat quietly on the sofa, his suit jacket casually draped to the side, his shirt sleeves slightly rolled up, revealing a section of his muscular forearm. His fingers tapped lightly on his knee, his gaze indifferent, yet revealing a hint of cold sharpness.
“Shen Fang arranged for someone to test you today.” His voice was deep and steady, with a hint of nonchalance. “Someone was following your car; their technique wasn’t very sophisticated.”
Lin Chuyue scoffed lightly, her tone indifferent: "She's getting impatient."
Li Zhanchuan's lips curled slightly, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "What do you plan to do?"
Lin Chuyue gently twirled the pen in her hand, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly smiled slightly: "Since she can't wait, then let her have her wish."
Li Zhanchuan looked at her expression, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he chuckled softly: "Luring the snake out of its hole?"
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, her gaze calm: "This time, I will make sure she completely loses any chance to turn the tables."
Li Zhanchuan didn't speak immediately, but silently looked at her, his gaze as deep as a bottomless abyss, as if it could suck a person in. He knew Lin Chuyue never did anything without being sure of success, but this time, her opponent was Shen Fang—a woman capable of killing without hesitation.
He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up, walked to her, leaned down to look at her, and said in a low voice, "Chuyue, Shen Fang is not like others; she really dares to kill you."
Lin Chuyue looked up, met his eyes, and said in a calm but firm voice, "Therefore, I must make the first move."
Their eyes met in the air, as if an invisible current was flowing between them.
Finally, Li Zhanchuan sighed softly, reached out and ruffled her hair, his voice low and husky: "Since you want to play, then play to the end."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, then looked at him with a smile: "You're even more excited than I am?"
Li Zhanchuan raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone languid: "Of course, your opponent is too weak, I'm afraid you won't have enough fun."
Lin Chuyue chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in her eyes.
This time, she's going to make Shen Fang lose everything!

Shen Fang's Murderous Scheme
Meanwhile, inside Shen Fang's villa, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
In the living room, a crystal chandelier cast a dim, yellowish light that illuminated Shen Fang's delicate face, making her expression appear even more somber. She wore a burgundy silk robe, reclining languidly on the sofa, her fingers lightly tracing the rim of a wine glass, her gaze cold and piercing.
"Madam, our men are ready. We'll move in tonight," the assistant reported in a low voice.
Shen Fang gently swirled the wine in her glass, the liquid rotating slowly within, while a fierce glint gradually formed in her eyes.
"Where is Lin Chuyue now?" Her voice was calm, but carried a hint of danger.
The assistant lowered her head and replied, "She's going to a resort in the suburbs tonight, supposedly to meet up with friends."
Shen Fang slightly curled her lips, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "Very good."
She slowly set down her wine glass, her fingertips lightly tapping the glass tabletop, her gaze deep and unfathomable: "Make sure there are no mistakes this time."
The assistant's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded, "Yes, Madam."
Shen Fang looked out the window. The night was as black as ink, and the rain clouds were heavy, as if they were about to pour down at any moment.
A chilling smile slowly crept onto her lips.
Lin Chuyue...you've finally come this far.

Hunter and Prey
Under the cover of night, a black sedan slowly drove out of the Lin residence and headed towards the suburbs.
Inside the car, Lin Chuyue sat in the back seat, gazing out the window, her fingers gently stroking the bracelet on her wrist, her eyes deep and unfathomable: "Shen Fang's men have already laid an ambush?"
Li Zhanchuan leaned back in his chair quietly, his voice low and deep: "Yes, they think they are the hunters, but they don't know that they are the prey."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, her gaze calm and confident: "Then let them see who the real hunter is."
She gently raised her wrist, glanced at the time, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
The hunt has officially begun.
