Chapter 661 The Silent Deal
At 5 a.m., the lights in the ISA building were still on.
Lin Chuyue, wearing a suit jacket, stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The night silhouetted the city in a silent line. She gazed into the distance, her eyes clear and calm, but her heart felt as heavy as if it were being crushed by a thousand-pound hammer.
She has already started checking the accounts.
This means that she has personally launched a formal counterattack against the Shen family.
But Lin Chuyue knew in her heart that this battle was far from a simple power struggle; it was more like a silent annihilation.
She has to become a colder person in order to survive.
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Yu Nian rushed in with a serious expression: "President Lin, someone anonymously sent us a funding chain diagram for an ISA project. We checked it and found that there are indeed undeclared overseas accounts."
Lin Chuyue quickly walked over, took the USB drive, and inserted it into the computer.
The moment the screen lit up, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"This funding—was it from an investment in South America five years ago?"
Yu Nian nodded: "On the surface, it is an agricultural fund, but in fact, after the funds were transferred from Switzerland, they were laundered three times through a British Virgin Islands company, and finally ended up under the name of a person named 'Ivan Shen'."
"Shen Yanli's English alias."
When Lin Chuyue uttered those words, her throat was almost burning with anger.
This old fox had been laying the groundwork for ISA for a full decade, almost silently hollowing out a portion of its industrial chain, while everyone thought it was just a normal external collaboration.
“Contact Wang Ce and have him, in his capacity as ISA’s legal counsel, apply to freeze all of this BVI company’s agent accounts in China.” Her voice was cold and hard. “Just say that we suspect money laundering.”
Yu Nian was taken aback: "But wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
“They’re no longer snakes,” Lin Chuyue sneered. “They’re a pack of jackals.”
?
at the same time.
Back in the Shen family's private residence in Beijing, Shen Yanli also received news that ISA had frozen his accounts.
The butler whispered, "ISA has already initiated a temporary domestic judicial investigation."
Shen Yanli was not angry. Instead, he remained calm and slowly picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"She did bite."
"Sir, should we activate the emergency plan?"
“No rush.” Shen Yanli said in a normal tone, “The more she struggles, the more exposed she becomes. ISA is her life, but also her shackles.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "I have already arranged for Shen Yi to return to China from London. What our Shen family wants is not an ISA manager, but the next generation of heirs."
The butler was taken aback: "Letting Shen Yi handle this...aren't you afraid of arousing Lin Chuyue's suspicion?"
“She no longer has the right to be vigilant.” Shen Yanli put down his teacup and said calmly, “After the ISA board of directors votes, Lin Chuyue will no longer even have a nominal position.”
"At that time, she will be nothing more than a discarded pawn disguised as a human."
?
That afternoon.
A "special meeting" secretly planned by the ISA board of directors is about to be held.
On the surface, it was an "audit results announcement," but in reality, it was a forced board vote to remove Lin Chuyue from her position as general manager before she could produce complete counter-evidence.
Lin Ying arrived at the venue early in the morning, her expression clearly showing contempt.
She had already received an internal notification that the Shen family would fully support her in replacing Lin Chuyue as the "new core" of ISA.
What's more, she also holds a "trump card".
Before the meeting began, Lin Ying specifically sought out Lin Chuyue, her smile contemptuous:
"You came here today just to hear the results, right?"
Lin Chuyue glanced at her, her expression indifferent: "You're too eager to climb over me to get ahead."
“You don’t understand.” Lin Ying scoffed, lowering her voice, “This game was lost from the moment you were born—you’re nothing but Shen Fang’s unfinished project. Shen Yanli wants a clean successor, not an outsider who’s cloaked in the identity of a ‘descendant of the Shen family’ but is covered in stains.”
Lin Chuyue's eyes narrowed: "You think you're that clean piece of cloth?"
Lin Ying's smile grew increasingly sarcastic: "At least, I don't have the dirty hands of your father, Lin Zhengguo. He's the one who ruined my mother, Shen Fang, and you were just a pawn being used."
Lin Chuyue's gaze turned as cold as a knife at this moment: "If that's what you think, you'd better never wake up."
"Because the moment you wake up—you'll find that you're the one being traded."
?
The meeting started as scheduled.
At the meeting table, all the directors expressed their opinions on the proposal to "temporarily remove Lin Chuyue from her post and hand her over to the trust committee for management".
Lin Chuyue remained silent, as if she had already accepted her fate of being exiled.
An unexpected incident occurred halfway through the voting process.
A brand-new audit report was anonymously delivered to the meeting and played live on the big screen.
The documents show that ISA's five overseas cooperation projects in recent years have been suspected of capital laundering, with three of the funds ultimately flowing to third-party companies closely associated with the Shen family.
The document also specifically noted three contract documents that Lin Ying had signed, all of which were jointly signed by the project leaders involved.
"This is impossible!" Lin Ying jumped up, her face deathly pale. "This document is forged; I never signed it—"
“Vice President Lin, don’t be so nervous.” Lin Chuyue finally spoke, her expression calm and composed. “If you really have no problem, please have the ISA Inspection Department immediately check your signature, the original contract document, and the authorization process.”
"You—" Lin Ying's eyes widened, only to find that everyone was looking at her, their expressions turning distrustful.
The board seats were thrown into turmoil.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Chuyue stood up, her tone firm and resolute:
“I acknowledge that ISA is facing a financial crisis, and I also acknowledge that I personally have faced tremendous scrutiny. But until the truth is clear—if anyone initiates a motion to remove the board of directors without authorization, I will, as the co-founder of ISA, file a lawsuit in accordance with the law.”
As she finished speaking, everyone fell into deep thought.
Li Zhanchuan stood up and added coldly, "We at Vision Capital also declare that if ISA removes its general manager without a transparent process, it will be considered an unstable management structure, and we will immediately withdraw our investment."
Lin Ying's face looked as if all the color had been drained from her, and she staggered back a step.
?
The meeting was interrupted.
As Lin Chuyue walked out of the venue, Yu Nian rushed over, looking excited:
"Found it! The person behind ISA's hidden shares overseas is Shen Yi."
Lin Chuyue's eyes flickered slightly: "Can you pinpoint her current location?"
"Yes, she just got off the plane and arrived in Beijing. She is preparing to meet privately with two directors of ISA."
Lin Chuyue gave a cold smile.
"Sure enough, it's here."
She turned to look at Li Zhanchuan, her voice low and cold: "It's your turn to make a move."
Li Zhanchuan parted his thin lips slightly: "I've been waiting for this moment."
?
A high-end private club in Beijing.
As soon as Shen Yi got out of the car, she saw the man who was already waiting at the door.
Dressed in a sharp suit, handsome and composed, it was none other than Gu Yanchuan.
"What are you doing here?" Shen Yi frowned.
Gu Yanchuan said calmly, "I'm here to discuss a deal."
Shen Yi sneered: "You think you can still control the situation?"
Gu Yanchuan slowly approached and whispered:
"Don't you want to be the heir of the Shen family? Then you have to prove that you are qualified to sit in that position."
"But Lin Chuyue is still alive."
“She is not only a legitimate descendant of the Shen family, but also holds a directorship at ISA.”
"You—want me to deal with her myself?" Shen Yi narrowed her eyes.
Gu Yanchuan nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips: "The Shen family doesn't need two mistresses."
