Chapter 651 Shen Yao Appears
Yuyuan Biological Experiment Center, in the suburbs of Huadu.
Late at night, cold rain tapped against the windowpanes.
Lin Yun, wearing a black trench coat, stood silently in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the dark figures outside the laboratory building. Beside her stood Shen Yao, dressed in a beige coat, looking capable and elegant, her expression as indifferent as a blank sheet of paper untouched by the heat of the world.
"You lost." Shen Yao said calmly, her tone devoid of any sarcasm, more like stating a fact.
Lin Yun turned her head sharply and stared at her: "I was only ambushed by her once. I still have Yuyuan, overseas projects, and you!"
“Wrong.” Shen Yao slowly removed her gloves, her eyes sharp as knives. “From beginning to end, you were a pawn. I just gave you the illusion that you were the one 'taking the pieces'.”
Lin Yun's pupils contracted slightly, and her heart tightened abruptly: "What...do you mean?"
Shen Yao did not answer, but walked to the experimental table and gently brushed her fingertips over the core data of the Yuyuan Biotechnology project—a confidential study on gene recombination and "glycemic resurrection protein".
This research is one of the Lin family's most core medical assets, and if it were put into the international market, it could be valued at at least tens of billions.
Lin Yun was able to maintain her position at the top of the Lin Group precisely because of this.
"Who owns this project now?" Shen Yao asked casually. "The Lin family? You? Or the foundation behind me?"
Lin Yun's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.
Shen Yao finally turned around, approached Lin Yun, and spoke slowly and dangerously:
"I saved you back then because you still had value to me. You're smart and good at setting up schemes, but you have a fatal flaw—you're too eager to win, which makes it hard for you to see who the hunter is and who the bait is."
“Lin Chuyue is no longer important. The real key is that she holds Lin Zhengguo’s shares, ISA’s international endorsement, and—” Shen Yao paused, her tone turning cold, “the key left by my father, Shen Yanli.”
Lin Yun's face turned pale.
The "key" to the Shen family's system is a legendary core device that can activate the Shen family's control system; it is also a financial cryptographic chip. Its whereabouts remain a mystery after Shen Yanli's death.
Lin Yun recalled Lin Chuyue's unusual composure after she suddenly left Switzerland a few days ago. She finally realized that she had underestimated Lin Chuyue's control—and even more so, Shen Yao's true fear of Lin Chuyue.
"So you're planning to...abandon me?" Lin Yun gritted her teeth, her eyes bloodshot. "You're going to turn to Lin Chuyue? She's the daughter of your enemy!"
“Her mother is Shen Fang, my aunt, my mortal enemy.” Shen Yao sneered, “But Lin Chuyue is not her. She is not as clever as Shen Fang, nor as clever as Lin Zhengguo. She is a different kind of danger.”
Lin Yun looked at her in disbelief: "You want to cooperate with her?"
Shen Yao smiled faintly: "Cooperation? No, I am the hunter, and she is the prey."
"And you, Lin Yun—are the bait."
As soon as he finished speaking, the laboratory door was pushed open, and two members of the Shen Foundation walked in with cold expressions.
Lin Yun instantly understood, and terror flashed in her eyes: "You want to use me as a bargaining chip?"
Shen Yao said calmly, "She will come to save you. She wants more than just the Lin family; she wants to know the truth about the Shen family."
"And I want her to reveal herself completely."
……
Meanwhile, in the center of Huadu City.
Lin Chuyue sat in Li Zhanchuan's office, with a document spread out in front of her: an asset transfer report of "Yuyuan Biotechnology" and a record of funds under Lin Yun's name being continuously transferred to "Overseas Biotechnology Investment Fund" through overseas accounts over the past three months.
"She secretly staked the entire project on Shen Yao?" Li Zhanchuan's voice was icy cold.
“Including the core team, three patents, and a virus synthesis technology that we had never mastered before.” Lin Chuyue said expressionlessly, “If this technology is leaked, it will be classified as a ‘biological weapon’ by the international community.”
"This is not a business issue, it's a crime."
"Has she gone mad?" Li Zhanchuan frowned.
“No, she’s just being played by Shen Yao.” Lin Chuyue got up and walked to the window. “Shen Yao has already made her move.”
She took out the note ISA had handed her from her bag, her eyes as cold as ice: "She wants me to step in and save Lin Yun. I know what she wants to do—she wants me to expose all the resources at her disposal."
“She’s afraid of you,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “She’s starting to be afraid of you.”
"Afraid of me? Then why would she dare to set up such a scheme?" Lin Chuyue's eyes were full of sarcasm.
“Because you still have feelings in your heart.” Li Zhanchuan walked to her side and whispered, “You won’t watch Lin Yun die, you won’t abandon Lin Zhengguo, and you won’t give up on the Lin family.”
"She's betting that you're still 'that Lin Chuyue'."
Lin Chuyue was stunned for a moment.
After a long silence, she gave a cold laugh: "Then she made the wrong bet."
She looked up at the distant night sky: "I want her to understand—I am no longer a pawn she can control."
……
The following morning, outside Yuyuan Biotechnology.
The ISA special operations team had quietly taken their positions. Lin Chuyue sat in the car parked on the mountain road, looking out the window at the heavily guarded biological laboratory building.
"Are you sure you don't want me to do it?" the special operations team leader asked.
Lin Chuyue said calmly, "Not for now. If she wants to talk, I will talk to her."
"I want to personally tear open all the secrets of the Shen family from her mouth."
She pushed open the car door and walked into the experimental park alone.
Meanwhile, Shen Yao had been waiting for a long time in the glass corridor on the top floor.
The two looked at each other through the floor-to-ceiling window, as if they had returned to the starting point of that fateful game.
Shen Yao slowly turned around, revealing a faint smile: "You've finally arrived, Shen Fang's daughter."
Lin Chuyue approached and calmly replied, "So you've finally taken off your mask, the last surviving member of the Shen family."
The air between the two seemed to freeze.
The upcoming negotiations are not just about Yuyuan, not just about Lin Yun—they are about the secrets, conspiracies, and rebirth behind the two families.
