Chapter 247 Unveiling a Corner
The night was deep, the streetlights cast long shadows, and the world outside the car window was adorned with a hazy play of light and shadow. Lin Chuyue leaned back in her seat, quietly gazing out the window, her fingers unconsciously tracing the edge of the window.
Her heart was not at peace; the conversation they had just had was still echoing in her mind, especially the information about Li Zhanchuan, which made her feel vaguely uneasy.
It wasn't that she didn't trust him; it was just that she understood that trust was often the most fragile thing in the face of interests and conspiracies.
She remembered the lessons of her past life—she had trusted Shen Fang, trusted her own father, and even trusted those who had once greeted her with smiles. But what was the result? She was driven to the brink of despair, trapped in flames, all her trust turned to ashes, and even her life was consumed.
Now, she must be careful.
Even when facing Li Zhanchuan, she had to make sure that she knew the whole truth.
Her fingertips tightened slightly, and her voice was steady: "Go to 'Moon Shadow Pavilion'."
The driver paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, miss."
The car turned around and drove into the deeper darkness of the night.

The Secret of Moon Shadow Pavilion
Moon Shadow Pavilion is nestled in a quiet alley, appearing from the outside as an ordinary private club, understated and unassuming, without any conspicuous signs. However, only a very few people know that this is Lin Chuyue's intelligence hub, dedicated to collecting all sorts of secret information.
The waiter at the door saw her and immediately bowed slightly: "Miss."
Lin Chuyue nodded and walked straight into the inner hall.
The interior was spacious and bright, with a huge electronic screen in the center constantly displaying data streams. Several technicians in black uniforms were typing on keyboards, and the screens showed various surveillance footage and encrypted files, as if this were an invisible neural network, gathering all the secrets of the outside world.
Lin Chuyue's gaze fell on the electronic screen, her tone calm: "Have you found anything I asked you to pay attention to?"
A man in a black suit stepped forward and handed her a document, his expression slightly grave: "Miss, the information about Li Zhanchuan... is indeed a bit strange."
Lin Chuyue took the document, opened the first page, her gaze sweeping over the dense text, her fingertips gently tracing the edge of the paper.
Her gaze sharpened slightly—
Li Zhanchuan's information before the age of six was extremely detailed, even including records of the parent-child activities he participated in during kindergarten. However, from the age of seven, all his information suddenly became blurry, as if it had been deliberately erased, and he did not reappear in the public eye until he became an adult.
This situation is not simply about protecting privacy, but rather a deliberate cover-up.
Lin Chuyue flipped through the documents, her fingertips lightly tapping the table, her eyes thoughtful and sharp.
"Seven years old..." she murmured softly.
Why would a child's past be suddenly hidden?
"Continue the investigation." Her voice was calm but carried an undeniable chill. "I need to know what he went through during that missing period."
The man nodded slightly: "Yes, Miss."

Watchers in the shadows
Meanwhile, a black sedan was quietly parked in a dark alley opposite Moon Shadow Pavilion.
With the car window half-open, a slightly cool night breeze swept through. The man inside tapped his long, slender fingers lightly on the steering wheel, his eyes as deep as the night, his gaze fixed on the gate of Moon Shadow Pavilion through the car window.
Li Zhanchuan watched quietly as the familiar figure walked in, his eyes darkening slightly.
He had long suspected that Lin Chuyue was investigating him, but he did not stop her.
He knew she would do that.
She is cautious and intelligent, and never easily trusts anyone, not even herself; she will not entrust her complete trust without any precautions.
But is she really ready to confront that buried truth?
Li Zhanchuan's fingers tightened slightly. The car was silent except for his barely audible breathing.
He waited quietly, like a steady yet dangerous cheetah, waiting for the right moment—or, for the moment she would discover the truth.
