Chapter 553 The Dawn of a Do-or-Die Battle
The morning sun pierced through the clouds, casting its light on the cold, austere glass facade of the Lin Group headquarters. The truth behind the core documents of "Plan F" from last night was still churning in the minds of Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Longyan, while the prelude to a new decisive battle had quietly begun.
?
I. Taking stock of the camp
Inside the meeting room, Lin Chuyue unfolded the core document that Cheng Yi Foundation had named "Project Snow Fox." The projector prominently displayed:
"Replace trust holders in batches, prioritizing the crackdown on: Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanyan."
Her expression was grave as she looked up at Gu Yanchuan: "This is the final blow they're going to use to destroy us. Are you still hesitating to stand on my side?"
Gu Yanchuan's gaze was deep: "I'm not hesitating—I'm worried that we've been completely exposed to the edge of the black market and our reputation."
Shen Yanyan curled her lip: "What's the use of worrying? When they make their move, we'll be the only ones with the option of striking first. You either come with me and expose 'Plan F' at the midday board meeting, or you can wait to be wiped out by them."

II. Shen Yan's "Breakaway" Statement
Just half an hour later, Shen Yan used his temporarily confiscated cell phone to send a draft of a "public statement" to the entire board of directors, accusing Cheng Yi Fund and CR Consortium of illegally manipulating the market and attempting to subvert the trust structure, and attached the "Snow Fox Project" document.
He stood in the center of the "cloud-based meeting room," his voice echoing:
“I have abandoned my blind trust in anyone. Today, I bring not just a document, but a trial of the truth. Who will help me press the 'send' button on this statement?”
The entire room fell silent. Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan exchanged a glance, neither of them making the first move.
?
III. Gu Yanchuan's Hesitation and Outburst
In a split second, Gu Yanchuan raised his hand and pressed the button on his phone—
"send!"
Investors, international regulators, and major shareholders of Shuguang Biotech received a statement simultaneously announcing the release of the "Snow Fox Project" documents, along with evidence of anonymous manipulation.
In front of the conference screen, an old shareholder covered his mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "They actually dare to fight back directly?"
Gu Yanchuan sneered and said to Lin Chuyue, "This is the only way to protect ourselves. If they release another piece of fake news, we'll just be waiting to die."

IV. Lin Yun's Desperate Counterattack
At 1 p.m., Lin Yun received a coordinated feedback from the group and external regulators in a private room: there were regulatory letters from the US and UK, as well as indictments involving domestic police. Her face turned deathly pale, but she still mustered her strength for one last gamble—she picked up her phone and issued a second order:
“Immediately activate ‘Plan F2’, using old family debts and the forged will of ‘Snow Fox Copy’ to win over Lin Zhengguo to my side; once he steps forward, he can shake the entire board of directors.”
She called her father again: "Dad, it's time to show your worth—stand on my side, or push me down."
?
V. Father and Daughter's Heavy Hammer
Lin Zhengguo was at home preparing to meet Lin Chuyue when he received a call from Lin Yun. On the other end of the line, she said coldly:
"Dad, don't play dumb. If you don't support me now, just wait and see how Lin Chuyue uses 'Mother's Will' to drag you, her old father, into this mess."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned pale, and after a long while he replied, "Yun'er, if you really do this... I can only stand aside."
When he hung up, his eyes were glistening with tears, but the briefcase in his hand felt incredibly heavy—it contained the original manuscript that Shen Fang had left behind.
?
VI. The Cracks That Mark the End
In the evening, the board meeting was held as scheduled, and the main agenda item had become: "Did Lin Yun and Lin Zhengguo engage in any transfer of benefits? Should their board memberships be frozen?"
The two sides faced off again: Lin Yun's eyes were filled with resentment, while Lin Zhengguo hesitated to speak; Shen Yanyan's gaze was piercing, Gu Yanchuan was resolute, but Lin Chuyue showed signs of exhaustion for the first time.
The vote count was announced—similar to the previous two instances: Lin Yun and Lin Zhengguo were frozen.
The gavel struck heavily into everyone's hearts. Lin Yun turned deathly pale and slumped to the ground; Lin Zhengguo slumped over, tears streaming down his face.
