Chapter 239 The chess game is getting tighter
The air in Lin Chuyue's office was heavy and silent. She held the report she had just received, a cold glint in her eyes. Information about "Future Capital" was finally beginning to emerge in the report. Although this information was still vague, she could already sense a latent force quietly approaching.
She pushed back her chair and stood up, the night outside the window seeming to silently oppress her thoughts. Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating her cool face and reflecting her meticulous expression. Her heartbeat quickened slightly, but she did not stop what she was doing.
"Future Capital truly is a black hole, leaving no trace whatsoever," she muttered to herself, a thoughtful glint in her eyes. "Who exactly is pulling the strings behind Shen Fang?"
She reached for the folder and began reviewing the previous documents. Over the years, Shen Fang had been making various investments, but the flow of funds and the distribution of assets had become much more blurred under the shadow of Future Capital. No one knew who the actual controller of Future Capital was, but judging from the documents in her possession, Shen Fang had clearly not escaped the control of this capital.
Her thoughts raced, trying to unravel the complexities of these elusive clues. She suddenly realized that relying solely on external investigations wouldn't be enough to fully uncover Shen Fang's true nature. She needed an inside source, or to infiltrate Shen Fang's social circle directly.
"I'm going to make my move."
A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she immediately dialed Wei Chengyuan's number.
“Mr. Wei, please arrange a meeting for me.” Her tone was concise, but carried a hint of pressure. “I need more information about ‘Future Capital’.”
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Wei Chengyuan's voice was deep and steady: "Who do you want to meet?"
“Zhou Ming,” Lin Chuyue said calmly, “He is now an investor in ‘Future Capital’ and an important collaborator of Shen Fang. You have had contact with him, so he should be willing to meet with you.”
Wei Chengyuan paused for a moment, then replied, "Okay, I will arrange for you to meet."
"The sooner the better." After hanging up the phone, Lin Chuyue stood by the window, lost in thought. She knew that she couldn't delay any longer; only by obtaining the information as soon as possible could she buy herself more time.
Unbeknownst to her, a black sedan silently pulled up outside her office building.
Zhou Ming's Secret
When Lin Chuyue entered the bar's private room, Zhou Ming was already waiting inside. He sat on the sofa, wearing a dark suit, exuding an innate air of composure. Seeing Lin Chuyue enter, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a polite smile.
"Miss Lin, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Lin Chuyue nodded politely, walked straight to the table, sat down and looked at him: "Mr. Zhou, I called you out today because I have some questions I would like to ask you."
"Please speak." Zhou Ming's eyes were clear, and he seemed calm.
Lin Chuyue's gaze was deep, and her tone was calm: "Regarding 'Future Capital,' I think you should know something, right?"
She cut straight to the point. A fleeting, almost imperceptible look of surprise crossed Zhou Ming's face, but he quickly regained his composure. He gently stirred the wine in his glass, his voice low and deep: "How do you know all this?"
Lin Chuyue smiled faintly: "The aftermath of Shen Fang's actions has not completely dissipated, and many things are not as simple as you think."
"What do you want to know?" Zhou Ming finally put down his wine glass, his gaze falling on Lin Chuyue's face, his eyes filled with deep thought.
Lin Chuyue adjusted her posture slightly and continued, "In Shen Fang's investment strategy, 'Future Capital' is a crucial component. As one of the investors in 'Future Capital' and an important partner of hers, you must be well aware of its secrets."
Zhou Ming didn't answer immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, seemingly weighing whether to reveal more information. Lin Chuyue wasn't in a hurry and quietly waited for him to make a decision.
Finally, Zhou Ming raised his head, his eyes silent for a moment, and said softly, "I am not Shen Fang's partner. My investment is only for business considerations. The 'Future Capital' platform is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Zhou Ming with even sharper eyes: "What do you mean by saying 'it's not as simple as it seems'?"
Zhou Ming paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but ultimately he decided to reveal some information: "'Future Capital' is indeed controlled by a more powerful force. That force is not something Shen Fang can control; she is merely an intermediary. The real controller—" He paused, then whispered, "is a secret organization."
Lin Chuyue's heart raced slightly, but her expression remained calm: "What kind of organization?"
Zhou Ming's gaze became complicated, tinged with a hint of helplessness: "This organization is involved in an extremely wide range of fields, including not only business investment but also some covert political and military operations. For the time being, no one really knows the name of this organization."
Lin Chuyue's mind raced at that moment. She realized that Shen Fang wasn't simply acting out of self-interest; she was actually connected to a vast and secretive force. And while Zhou Ming was part of this organization, he clearly didn't fully understand its deeper secrets.
"Is the 'secret organization' you mentioned related to 'Point C'?" she asked.
Zhou Ming was silent for a moment, then finally nodded: "There is a connection, but I don't know the specifics."
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, a tremor running through her heart. The power behind Shen Fang was far more complex than she had imagined.
She knew that she had now truly entered a situation from which there was no turning back.
