Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 256 Amazement

The Lin family study is a place where undercurrents are stirring.

Late at night, the soft light in the study illuminated Lin Chuyue's fair face. She sat at a large walnut desk, her slender fingers gently turning the pages of a thick document. Her gaze was sharp as a knife, fixed on the words on the paper, her eyes swirling with deep thought and coldness.

The night outside was deep and dark, the shadows of the trees swayed outside the window, and occasionally a breeze would blow, bringing a slight rustling sound, as if the whole world had fallen into a silent standoff.

The files on the desktop were obtained through an investigation by Li Zhanchuan. They detailed Gu Zhengting's business empire and Shen Fang's manipulation behind the scenes.

Her gaze fell on a line of words, her fingertips unconsciously tightening their grip until her knuckles turned white—

Ten years ago, Shen Fang helped Gu Zhengting arrange an illegal transfer of funds and successfully laundered the money.

And this money is very likely related to the mother's death!

Lin Chuyue's heart clenched suddenly, and the image of her mother's death in her previous life flashed through her mind—that gentle woman, lying quietly on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with reluctance and regret, softly saying to her, "Chuyue, don't trust Shen Fang..."

Back then, she didn't understand, and even thought her mother was talking nonsense because of illness. But now, she finally understands that her mother was using her last bit of strength to remind her—Shen Fang is not trustworthy at all!

Ironically, it took her an entire lifetime to see this cruel truth.

Thinking of this, Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, tried to suppress the hatred in her heart, and calmly continued to look through the documents.

Shen Fang not only laundered money for Gu Zhengting, but also used her connections to pave the way for his business empire to grow stronger day by day.

For so many years, she has been secretly plotting, waiting for the right opportunity to completely take control of the situation.

Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Shen Fang... she probably doesn't know that everything she once planned has now become her death warrant!

Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door, and then Li Zhanchuan pushed the door open and entered.

He wore a dark shirt with the cuffs slightly rolled up, revealing his muscular arms. He exuded a cool, nighttime aura, and his deep eyes were fixed on her face as he asked in a low voice, "What did you find?"

Lin Chuyue looked up, her gaze thoughtful, and slowly handed him the documents in her hand.

"The relationship between Shen Fang and Gu Zhengting is more complicated than we imagined."

Li Zhanchuan reached out and took it, then looked down and flipped through a few pages. His gaze grew cold, and his tone was indifferent yet carried a hint of danger: "It seems we can speed up the plan."

Lin Chuyue nodded gently, her tone calm and composed: "Since she likes to scheme against others, this time, I'll make her taste what it's like to be schemed against."

Li Zhanchuan's eyes darkened slightly, then he chuckled softly, walked to her side, leaned closer, and asked in a deep, meaningful voice, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Chuyue turned her head to look at him, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and said in a slow and unhurried tone: "We will split into two groups. I will first let Gu Yanchuan take over Gu's Group and drive Gu Zhengting to the brink of despair, as for Shen Fang... since she likes to scheme so much, then we will let her taste the backlash of her own schemes."

After listening, Li Zhanchuan gently curled his lips, looking at her with a half-smile, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"Chuyue, you're really impressing me more and more."

Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, but her eyes were filled with coldness.

"I'll learn from you."

Murderous intent emerges at Shen Fang's villa.

Meanwhile, inside Shen Fang's villa, the atmosphere was completely different.

The large room was dimly lit, the curtains were drawn, and a sense of oppression permeated the air.

Shen Fang, dressed in a black silk bathrobe, leaned back on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in her hand. The red liquid swirled gently in the glass, as vibrant as fresh blood.

There was no sign of weariness on her face, only a coldness and a deep unease.

The assistant across from her lowered her head and said cautiously, "Madam, we have discovered some clues."

Shen Fang narrowed her eyes, her fingers gently stroking the wine glass, and said slowly, "Speak."

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then carefully handed over a few photos.

"This is the last place Wang Peng was seen before he disappeared. He met with a mysterious person here."

Shen Fang frowned slightly, reached out and took the photo, her eyes sweeping over it, her pupils instantly shrinking—

In the photo, a familiar figure stands beside Wang Peng. Although the person deliberately lowers the brim of their hat to hide their identity, she recognizes them at a glance.

Gu Yanchuan!

Shen Fang's heart sank suddenly, her fingertips instantly gripped the photo tightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

How could Gu Yanchuan have been in contact with Wang Peng?

Hasn't he always been lukewarm towards Lin Chuyue and indifferent to this arranged marriage? What exactly is he planning?

Countless possibilities flashed through Shen Fang's mind in an instant, and her unease gradually grew. Her intuition told her that things were starting to get out of control.

She took a deep breath, her face dark as she looked at her assistant, her tone icy: "Investigate who Wang Peng has been in contact with."

The assistant paused, then tentatively said, "Madam, there's something else... Our people have discovered that Gu Yanchuan and Lin Chuyue's relationship seems... somewhat unusual lately."

Shen Fang's eyes turned completely cold, her nails digging into the cup, a surge of irritation rising within her.

She had always thought Lin Chuyue was just a useless pawn, but now it seems that this pawn... is becoming her greatest threat!

No, we can't delay it any longer.

Shen Fang suddenly stood up and coldly ordered, "Notify the people over there to prepare to start the plan."

The assistant was taken aback, her expression changing slightly: "Madam, you mean..."

Shen Fang narrowed her eyes, a murderous intent flashing within them: "Make Lin Chuyue disappear completely!"

The assistant gasped, a chill running down his spine.

"But... it's too risky to take action now."

Shen Fang gave him a cold look, her tone leaving no room for argument: "If we drag this out any longer, we'll have nothing left!"

The assistant was intimidated by her imposing manner and quickly lowered his head, saying, "Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

Shen Fang slowly turned around, gazing at the pitch-black night outside the window, a deep murderous intent surging in her eyes.

Lin Chuyue... Since you dare to challenge me, don't blame me for showing no mercy!

A storm is about to sweep in, and an irreversible battle is quietly unfolding...
