Wen Jingzhao's failure does not mean that Lin Chuyue can rest easy.
He fell, but the forces behind him have yet to surface.
Li Zhanchuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling street below, his brows furrowed slightly: "Wen Jingzhao is no longer useful. Those forces that have been secretly supporting him will not just give up like this."
Lin Chuyue sat on the sofa, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, her tone indifferent: "Therefore, we must find out as soon as possible who Wen Jingzhao is relying on."
Wen Jingzhao's ability to manipulate the business world was not solely due to his own efforts.
Now that he has been defeated, those behind the scenes will inevitably rearrange the game.
A bigger storm is brewing.

Wen Jingzhao's "disappearance"
The day after Wen Jingzhao was dismissed, the media was flooded with news about the change of ownership of the Wen Group.
[Business Shake-Up: Wens Group Announces New Chairman, Wen Jingzhao Officially Steps Down!]
[Wen Jingzhao's downfall: Suspected of illegal transactions and misappropriation of funds, he may face legal action!]
[Who is Lin Chuyue, the new master of the Wen clan?]
Lin Chuyue's name became the focus of heated discussion in the entire business circle overnight.
But just when everyone thought Wen Jingzhao had been completely ousted and would face legal consequences—
He is missing!
Police went to Wen Jingzhao's villa to investigate, only to find the house in a mess, with obvious signs of a struggle.
The maid told the police in a panic, "Early this morning, several men in black broke into the villa and took Mr. Wen away!"
They've been kidnapped?
This news caused another uproar in the business world!
Upon receiving the news, Lin Chuyue immediately realized that something was wrong.
Someone rescued Wen Jingzhao...
who is it?

Mysterious Warning
That afternoon, Lin Chuyue had just finished dealing with Wen's affairs and was about to return to her apartment when she received an anonymous email in her car.
The email contained only one sentence—
"Some things shouldn't be investigated too deeply."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, lightly tapped the screen with her fingertips, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
Is this a threat?
Without hesitation, she forwarded the email to Li Zhanchuan, adding the comment: "Let's see who's trying to warn me this time."
Ten minutes later, Li Zhanchuan replied to the message.
The email source is encrypted and cannot be traced.
Lin Chuyue's heart sank.
The fact that he could bypass Li Zhanchuan's technical means suggests that his background is probably more complex than she imagined.
She let out a soft breath, her eyes slightly cold—
That's perfect, she doesn't like boring opponents either.

Gu Yanchuan's news
At the same time, Gu Yanchuan also brought new intelligence.
He sat on the sofa in Lin Chuyue's office, resting his chin on one hand, his brows slightly furrowed: "Before Wen Jingzhao disappeared, he transferred a large sum of money to one of his overseas companies."
"The amount is as high as 500 million."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback when she heard the number: "Five hundred million?"
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "It's obvious that he was prepared."
"The question is, who is this money going to?"
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Do you think he might be his 'backer'?"
Gu Yanchuan chuckled: "If that's the case, then it means Wen Jingzhao is just a pawn."
"The real mastermind has not yet surfaced."
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, her eyes darkening.
This game has just begun.

The person behind the scenes
That night, Lin Chuyue was in her study reviewing Wen's internal documents.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
She looked down and saw that it was a text message from an unknown number.
"Miss Lin, would you like to know where Wen Jingzhao is?"
"Tomorrow night at 10 PM, Royal Court Clubhouse, Room 701."
She narrowed her eyes and tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
The other person's identity was unknown, but she could sense it—
This is a trap.
She picked up her phone and dialed Li Zhanchuan's number directly.
I received a text message.
Li Zhanchuan's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "The content?"
Lin Chuyue briefly recounted it.
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by Li Zhanchuan's faint laughter: "Looks like someone can't wait any longer."
Lin Chuyue smiled and said, "Then let's go see who my 'hunter' is."

Royal Court Club
The following night at 10 p.m., Lin Chuyue appeared at the Royal Court Club on time.
She wore a black fitted dress, her shoulders and neck were elegant, and she exuded a sharp aura.
Li Zhanchuan stood beside her, dressed in a dark suit, looking like a cheetah in the night, exuding a dangerous aura.
They pushed open the door to VIP room 701. The room was dimly lit and the atmosphere was oppressive.
A man wearing a silver mask sat on the sofa, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand.
He looked up at Lin Chuyue and said lazily, "Miss Lin, you certainly have a lot of courage."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, sat down opposite him, and said calmly, "Enough with the nonsense, where is Wen Jingzhao?"
The man chuckled softly, put down his wine glass, and said slowly, "You really want to know?"
He leaned closer and whispered, "He should be dead by now."
Lin Chuyue's pupils contracted slightly.
Li Zhanchuan's gaze suddenly turned cold.
died?

Game within a game
Lin Chuyue didn't speak, but just stared at him quietly, observing his expression.
"You don't believe me?" The man chuckled and snapped his fingers.
The side door of the room opened, and a man in black walked in, carrying a black bag.
The man in black placed the bag on the table and unzipped it.
A bloody smell instantly filled the air.
Lin Chuyue looked down and saw a hand in the bag, with undried bloodstains on it.
Her gaze suddenly sharpened.
The man chuckled softly, "This belongs to Wen Jingzhao."
Lin Chuyue gave him a deep look, then suddenly chuckled, "You invited me here specifically just to show me your hand?"
The man narrowed his eyes: "Miss Lin, don't be too arrogant."
"You took care of Wen Jingzhao," Lin Chuyue leaned closer to him and whispered, "but what... is your real purpose?"
The man's smile remained unchanged as he slowly uttered two words—
"trade."
