Chapter 237 The Mystery and the Undercurrents
Wei Chengyuan watched Lin Chuyue's figure disappear through the door, his gaze darkening slightly.
Her words were clearly not unfounded.
What Shen Fang left him... how much did she actually know?
Wei Chengyuan slowly clenched his fist, his emotions churning.
Before she left, Shen Fang did indeed give him some things—things that involved not only Shen Fang's past, but also deeper-level interests.
He always thought he was well hidden and no one would notice.
How could Lin Chuyue know?
Just how cunning is this woman?
Wei Chengyuan lowered his head, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, pondering his next move.
the other side
As Lin Chuyue left the restaurant, the night breeze ruffled her hair, bringing a slight chill.
She slowly exhaled, a thoughtful look appearing in her eyes.
Wei Chengyuan's reaction was exactly what she expected.
But... she still couldn't let her guard down.
Wei Chengyuan is an ambitious and extremely patient man; he will not be easily cornered.
This game has just begun.
"Let's go back," she said to her assistant who was standing not far away.
The black sedan slowly drove up, and Lin Chuyue got in. Her gaze fell on the neon lights outside the window, and she fell into deep thought.
Although she held some leverage, it wasn't enough to completely control Wei Chengyuan.
She needs more clues, more evidence.
What exactly did Shen Fang leave behind?
Wei Chengyuan's decision
Late at night, Wei Chengyuan returned to his private villa.
He sat in his study, his fingers gently swirling a wine glass, his gaze fixed intently on the documents before him.
This is a document he has kept locked in his safe, which involves some of Shen Fang's past "arrangements".
Shen Fang has always been good at planning. Even after a failure, she still left herself a backup plan. However, no one knows whether she ultimately intended to use these to make a comeback or simply to cause trouble for others.
Wei Chengyuan opened the document, his gaze falling on a few lines of text, his eyes turning slightly cold.
"Key information is stored at point C."
"The backup plan will be handled by B."
His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, and a few names flashed through his mind.
Shen Fang must have made some moves before she left.
She is not someone who is willing to accept defeat.
He must ensure that he does not become a discarded pawn.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Find out the last few people Shen Fang contacted before she left."
The person on the other end of the phone said in a deep voice, "Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Chengyuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
Lin Chuyue... what exactly do you want from me?
Li Zhanchuan's vigilance
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan sat in his study, looking through the materials he had recently collected.
He had long noticed that Wei Chengyuan's recent actions were somewhat unusual.
Tonight's meeting between Lin Chuyue and Wei Chengyuan made him even more vigilant.
His long, slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, his gaze deep and thoughtful.
"Wei Chengyuan won't give in so easily," he muttered to himself.
Although Lin Chuyue is intelligent, Wei Chengyuan is also a difficult person to deal with.
He had to make sure she wasn't in danger.
He picked up his phone and dialed Lin Chuyue's number.
When the call connected, Lin Chuyue's voice carried a hint of languor: "What's wrong, Mr. Li? Is there something important that you're calling me so late?"
Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice, "Wei Chengyuan is not an easy opponent to deal with."
Lin Chuyue smiled gently, her tone soft: "I know."
Li Zhanchuan frowned slightly: "You knew? Then why did you take the initiative to meet with him?"
Lin Chuyue leaned back in her chair, her tone indifferent: "I need his things."
Li Zhanchuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Some chips are not worth the risk."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, her voice gentle yet firm: "But there are some situations that I must personally handle."
Li Zhanchuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his gaze slightly somber.
This woman is always like this.
Calm and decisive, yet her danger cannot be ignored.
He whispered, "I will have someone keep an eye on Wei Chengyuan."
Lin Chuyue chuckled: "Are you worried about me?"
Li Zhanchuan's voice was slightly cold: "If something happens to you, who will clean up the mess for me?"
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow slightly and said meaningfully, "President Li is meddling too much."
Li Zhanchuan's voice was deep: "Is that so?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Chuyue's soft laughter could be heard.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Her tone carried a hint of certainty.
Li Zhanchuan was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That would be best."
After hanging up the phone, he narrowed his eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Wei Chengyuan... you'd better not have any ulterior motives.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown mercy.
