Chapter 409 Darkness Gradually Envelops
Night fell, and the city's neon lights cast dappled shadows on the streets. Li Zhanchuan stood in front of the car, his tall, slender figure appearing even more imposing under the cold lights.
That deliberate car accident just now was undoubtedly a stark warning.
Lin Chuyue stood opposite him, her eyes slightly narrowed, her gaze sweeping over the wrecked black sedan not far away, a dangerous chill surging in her eyes.
"It seems the other party has completely abandoned all pretense of civility." She chuckled, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.
Li Zhanchuan's gaze was cold as he looked down at her: "Are you injured?"
Lin Chuyue shook her head, her expression indifferent: "It's nothing."
However, Li Zhanchuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, turning her palm open—a scratch was clearly visible, with a little blood seeping out.
Lin Chuyue frowned, trying to pull her hand away, but Li Zhanchuan held it firmly. His voice was deep and cold, carrying an undeniable chill: "Lin Chuyue, don't be stubborn."
His gaze was as deep as a cold pool, and when he looked at her, it subtly revealed a hint of suppressed emotion.
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "It's just a minor injury, Mr. Li is being too anxious."
Li Zhanchuan ignored her teasing, released her hand, took a first-aid kit from the car, and said in a deep voice, "Get in the car."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and got into the car.
Li Zhanchuan sat in the passenger seat, took out a disinfectant cotton swab, and carefully treated her wound.
The disinfectant stung slightly the moment it touched the wound, but Lin Chuyue didn't even flinch.
Li Zhanchuan's movements were gentle, yet carried an irresistible tenderness. He whispered, "What happened tonight will not be the last time."
Lin Chuyue's eyes darkened slightly: "Of course."
This is just the beginning.

Track down the mastermind
The next day, Lin Chuyue returned to the company and immediately convened an emergency meeting.
"Our investigation into all fund flows has identified two suspicious companies," the assistant said, placing the documents in front of her.
Lin Chuyue glanced down, her gaze quickly settling on one of the companies—
'Hengyue Capital'.
This company appears to be involved in financial investment, but in reality, its financial transactions are extremely suspicious, especially recently, as it has been continuously acquiring shares in the Lin family's company.
"What about the equity acquisition ratio?" she asked in a deep voice.
The assistant opened the document: "We currently hold 8.5% of Lin's shares. Although this is not a controlling stake, if we continue to acquire more, it will inevitably affect the stability of the group."
Lin Chuyue's eyes were cold: "Investigate the real mastermind behind this company."
The assistant nodded: "We have found out that the real controlling shareholder of 'Hengyue Capital' is an offshore company, and this company... is related to Shen Fang's private fund before her death."
The meeting room fell into a deathly silence.
Although Shen Fang is dead, her former subordinates are still stirring.
Lin Chuyue sneered: "I see."
She had long suspected that Shen Fang's death did not mean the end of this contest.
Her old subordinates are still secretly manipulating everything, trying to take the opportunity to annex the Lin family!

Hidden forces emerge
While Lin Chuyue was investigating Hengyue Capital, another clue gradually surfaced.
The private investigator in charge of finding Lin Yun has sent word.
"President Lin, we've found out that after Lin Yun was taken away, she was secretly sent to a private estate."
Lin Chuyue frowned: "A private estate?"
“Yes.” The investigator’s voice was deep. “The owner of this manor, as we have found out so far, is Zhou Huaiyuan, the second young master of the Zhou family.”
Lin Chuyue's gaze instantly darkened.
Zhou Huaiyuan...
She was familiar with this name.
The Zhou family was once one of the Lin family's important partners, but due to a business dispute, the Lin family terminated its cooperation with the Zhou family, which caused the Zhou family to suffer a heavy blow in the financial market.
Zhou Huaiyuan is the most ambitious heir of the Zhou family.
"It seems this game is more complicated than I imagined," Lin Chuyue said in a low voice.
If Zhou Huaiyuan is also involved, it means that this is not just a conspiracy by Shen Fang's former subordinates, but also a larger force lurking in the shadows, ready to make its move.

Lure the enemy deep into our territory
Lin Chuyue's gaze sharpened slightly. After a moment of thought, she suddenly spoke: "Notify the media to announce that I am going to hold a shareholders' meeting."
The assistant was taken aback: "Shareholders' meeting?"
“Yes.” Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. “Since someone wants to secretly manipulate the Lin family, then I will give them a chance and let them come out on their own.”

Shareholders' Meeting Storm
A few days later, the Lin Group's shareholders' meeting was held as scheduled.
On that day, the media gathered outside the group's building, and almost everyone was speculating about the true purpose of the meeting.
Lin Chuyue, dressed in an exquisitely tailored black suit, walked steadily into the conference hall.
Her gaze slowly swept over the shareholders present, finally settling on an unfamiliar figure—
That was the representative of 'Hengyue Capital'.
A young man, with a playful smile, was leisurely watching her.
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
The prey has finally shown itself.
She slowly began, "The purpose of this shareholders' meeting is to discuss the latest changes in the group's shareholding structure."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and her assistant immediately projected the investigation results onto the big screen.
According to the latest investigation, Hengyue Capital currently holds 8.5% of Lin's shares and is secretly acquiring other scattered shares.
The meeting room erupted in an uproar.
Many shareholders whispered among themselves, while the representative of Hengyue Capital smiled slightly and said, "President Lin, this is normal market behavior. Is there a problem?"
Lin Chuyue chuckled: "Of course, no problem."
Her gaze was cold as she slowly said, "But I'm more interested in whether 'Hengyue Capital' ultimately funded itself through illegal channels?"
The man's smile faltered, and his expression shifted slightly.
Lin Chuyue continued, "In addition, I have submitted an application to the financial regulatory authorities requesting a comprehensive review of the source of funds for 'Hengyue Capital'."
The conference room fell into a deathly silence in an instant.
The man's expression finally changed.
Lin Chuyue smiled gently, leaned back in her chair, and said calmly, "Trying to plunder the Lin family will probably... not be so easy."
