Chapter 555 The End Before Dawn
Night had fallen, and the lights of the Lin Group headquarters shone through the heavy curtains into the "Cloud Meeting Room." The last pages of yesterday's "Snow Fox Project" and "Two-Way Litigation" documents still lingered on the projector screen. Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Yan were forced to stay here temporarily, making final preparations for a series of court hearings and supervisory inquiries the following day.
?
I. The Urgency of a Dual-Line Trial
Lin Chuyue clutched the original notarized will of her mother, her fingertips trembling slightly: "The first hearing tomorrow morning is the preliminary hearing of the 'Objection to the Fog Sign Trust' case brought by Lin Yun and my father; the afternoon hearing is the administrative hearing of Cheng Yi Fund and CR accusing us of illegally manipulating stock prices. I must attend both hearings at the same time, and I cannot afford to miss them."
Gu Yanchuan held her hand: "That would be like you being in two places at once, you simply wouldn't be able to take care of everything."
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes, the coldness of the night reflected in them: "I know. But this is my duty, not something you should take on for me."
Gu Yanchuan hesitated, then simply gripped her hand tightly, his gaze revealing even more weariness.

II. Luo Zhen's "Counterattack"
After the financial data was cleared, CFO Luo Zhen arrived with a stack of new evidence: "President Lin, we just obtained the 'shadow account transaction records' of Cheng Yi Fund from the bank for the past two years—that 30 million US dollars was actually returned to Gu's through two shell companies, and then entered into your mother's 'Snow Fox Trust,' disguised as 'overseas trust transfer.' This shows that they not only shorted the market in the dark, but also stole trust assets from within the supervisory board!"
Lin Chuyue's eyes lit up: "If this report can be presented in court, it will completely shatter their attack on the 'legitimacy of the trust'."
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "Submit it to the international legal team immediately, and send a copy to the regulatory authority. We also need to make this process public so that ordinary holders can hear the truth."
?
III. The Father-Daughter Court Standoff
The following morning, in the first court hearing: Lin Yun and Lin Zhengguo applied to revoke the validity of the "Frosty Moon Trust." On the jury bench, Lin Zhengguo looked haggard, while Lin Yun was in high spirits. The judge asked, "What is the basis for your objection?"
Lin Yun said loudly: "My mother signed the trust agreement when she was seriously ill and in poor mental condition; moreover, it was not signed by both me and Chuyue, so the procedure was seriously flawed and should be revoked."
Lin Chuyue stood up: "If it is a procedural flaw, please correct it according to the law, rather than overturning my mother's true will. When my mother signed, two notaries personally witnessed that she was of sound mind; if you have any doubts, you can ask the notary office to appear in court to explain."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned pale, but Lin Yun suddenly grabbed his sleeve. The two exchanged glances in court, and the rift in their father-daughter relationship was exposed in public.
?
IV. Sudden Changes in Administrative Hearings
In the second hearing in the afternoon, representatives of the supervisory board and securities regulatory officials confronted Cheng Yi and CR's legal team. Just as Cheng Yi's lawyer was about to play the "trading log," Gu Yanchuan suddenly walked onto the stage, presented a "shadow account" report and bank receipts compiled by Luo Zhen, and accused Cheng Yi and CR of abusing their positions as supervisors to steal and launder trust funds.
The meeting room erupted in uproar. Regulatory officials looked approving, while lawyer Cheng Yi looked terrified and had to retract his attack.

V. Shen Longyan's "Redemption" and Mysteries
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Longyan received an anonymous phone call:
"Your actions just now were quite clever, but the real purpose was simply to make you Lin Chuyue's savior. Once she gets away, you'll lose your value."
His face darkened, and he let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone. Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan came to his side and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Shen Longyan shook his head: "It's nothing. But... before you're ready to win the final victory, I must ask you one question: do you still want me to stay?"
Lin Chuyue paused, then held his shoulder: "As long as you are still willing to stand on our side, I will not give up on you."
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "This time, the three of us have no secrets. Only by working together can we get through tonight."
Shen Yan's lips curled up slightly, as if he had regained a long-lost sense of trust.
?
VI. Lin Yun's Desperate Bargain
In the evening, Lin Yun discussed with her external lawyer at the law firm. She put her last "trump card" on the table—a privately decrypted document that appeared to be the core account of the "Frost Moon Trust." She claimed to have the original of a third-party "full custody agreement," which was sufficient to prove that Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan had privately modified the trust terms.
After reviewing the document, the lawyer's expression turned serious: "If this original document is authentic, the other party will face a second lawsuit. However, given its unclear origin, it could also be deemed a forgery at any time, or even fall into a perjury trap."
Lin Yun pursed her lips tightly: "I have already uploaded it to several major shareholders. Once they spread the word among the shareholders, even if Lin Chuyue wins the court case, she will not be able to win back public opinion and the shareholders' trust."
?
VII. Reorganization Before Dawn
As night deepened, the court hearing concluded. Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Longyan reunited in the "Cloud Meeting Room":
Holding her mother's original documents, Lin Chuyue was exhausted but determined: "We won the two direct confrontations. But external voices are still tearing apart the family's trust. Lin Yun's false testimony has not yet been verified, and I may suffer secondary damage from public opinion at any time."
Gu Yanchuan placed the "shadow account" report on the table. "We need to release this report to all trust holders by tomorrow morning, along with court records and regulatory letters, to shatter their false evidence."
Shen Yan handed over an encrypted email: "I have set up an anonymous group to distribute this report and court transcripts to five overseas consortia. As long as they commit to investing, a new round of capital support alliance can be formed."
The three looked at each other. The night was as dark as ink, but at the last moment, a fire was lit to ignite their unity.
