Chapter 387 Being Manipulated
The next day, Lin Chuyue walked into the company with a calm expression, but her heart was still churning with turmoil.
The threat from that email still lingered in her mind. Although she had decided not to waver because of it, the photo and the conspiracy behind it kept her on her guard.
Her phone suddenly vibrated, and a familiar name popped up on the screen—Li Zhanchuan.
"What's wrong?" She didn't hide the nervousness in her voice.
Li Zhanchuan's voice carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, pressure: "I just received news that some of Shen Fang's former subordinates are starting to stir. Their target is you."
Lin Chuyue frowned: "You're starting to act so soon?"
“It seems some people are just too impatient.” Li Zhanchuan sneered, then added, “They’re already preparing to create trouble in your daily life; there might be some dramatic scenes unfolding.”
"What do you mean?" Lin Chuyue's heart tightened, and she asked warily.
"You'll find out," Li Zhanchuan replied simply, then hung up the phone.
She put down her phone, took a deep breath, and felt a tightness in her chest.

That afternoon, Lin Chuyue was processing some documents in her office when she suddenly received a phone call.
It was her father—Lin Zhengguo.
"Chuyue, have you been busy lately?" Lin Zhengguo's slightly uneasy voice came from the other end of the phone.
She frowned slightly, her tone flat: "Is there something you need?"
"Could you go home for a bit? Your mother and I have something we'd like to discuss with you." Lin Zhengguo hesitated for a moment, then continued, "This is very important."
Lin Chuyue felt a sense of unease; her intuition told her that this "importance" was probably not simple.
"Okay, I'll be right back," she agreed.
-
The Lin family villa, just like the one in my previous life, still exuded a luxurious yet oppressive atmosphere.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Lin Zhengguo and his mother sitting on the sofa, both looking unusually serious.
"Dad, Mom, what's the rush?" Lin Chuyue walked straight over and sat down, her gaze fixed on the two of them.
Lin Zhengguo glanced at her, seemingly hesitant, but finally spoke: "Actually, this matter is related to your previous engagement."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback: "A marriage contract?" She chuckled softly, "Dad, Mom, that marriage contract has been dissolved, so you don't need to mention it again."
"Things aren't that simple." Lin's mother's face was pale, and her tone was heavy. "Do you remember Lin Yun?"
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Lin Yun? Why was she being brought up at this time?
"There are actually many truths behind Lin Yun's death that we don't know." Lin's mother's voice was low, as if she was suppressing something. "That matter is not as simple as we initially thought. Perhaps... you were also involved in it."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, and her expression instantly turned icy: "What do you mean?"
“I’ve found some clues,” Lin Zhengguo said in a low voice. “Shen Fang hasn’t completely disappeared. Some people are still manipulating everything behind the scenes, and you are still their target.”
Lin Chuyue's gaze shifted slightly, her eyes growing sharper: "Are you saying that I'm still their pawn?"
Lin Zhengguo was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I can't guarantee that these clues are completely accurate, but I know that your standing with Li Zhanchuan has already made some people hostile towards you."
Lin Chuyue's smile turned cold: "What can they do? Are they going to stage another 'accident'?"
Lin Zhengguo hurriedly said, "Chuyue, listen to me! These people are extremely secretive, even more cunning than Shen Fang. You must be careful."
Lin's mother also anxiously advised, "We can't let our guard down this time, especially now that you've gotten involved with Li Zhanchuan..."
Lin Chuyue's face grew increasingly gloomy, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"You mean you want me to sever ties with Li Zhanchuan?" Her tone was full of sarcasm.
"No!" Lin Zhengguo hurriedly waved his hand. "I just wanted to warn you to be careful. Since you chose him, you should be prepared to face the challenges."
"I understand." Lin Chuyue stood up, her tone resolute. "You don't need to say anything more. I have my own judgment."
She turned and left, her steps firm and resolute.
-
After returning to the company, Lin Chuyue's unease and anger began to rise.
She had already decided that she would not easily return to the past situation, but her parents' warnings made her waver.
Just then, Li Zhanchuan called, his tone unusually serious: "I received news that there will be an 'accident' tonight. Are you ready?"
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened suddenly, and she calmly asked, "What accident?"
“You’ll find out,” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice, “Their operation has already begun.”
Lin Chuyue closed her eyes and took a deep breath: "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, she walked to the window and gazed at the night sky. A wave of unease washed over her; she felt the situation was about to become even more complicated. And once again, she was thrust into the eye of the storm.
However, this time, she will not let herself be manipulated.
