Chapter 510 Anonymous Text Messages Arrive
A new storm is brewing within the Lin Group, with the entire family and company seemingly embroiled in an endless power struggle. In the early hours of the morning, dark clouds roll in, and a cold rain pours down, casting an eerie shadow over everything. Lin Chuyue sits alone in her office, laid out before her not only the anonymous email she received late last night and the scanned copy of the missing contract, but also the audio recording of yesterday's board meeting. Gu Yanchuan's sarcastic words from the recording still echo in her ears: "You think you can control everything? The truth will always lead you to your doom."
Lin Chuyue clenched her fists, silently vowing that she would never again be at the mercy of others. Just as she was immersed in this chaos and anger, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"President Lin!" A hurried voice came from Tang Nian. She walked in breathlessly, her face full of anxiety. "Breaking news: the regulatory authorities have begun a comprehensive financial investigation of our group. Key data seems to involve the 'Frost Moon Fund' that your mother set up back then... and the flow of those funds may be directly related to the CR Consortium!"
Lin Chuyue frowned, her eyes instantly turning sharp. She muttered to herself, "So, the black accounts left behind by Shen Fang are far more complex than they appear on the surface." She stood up, put away the recording file, and nodded to Tang Nian, saying, "Go and pull out all the relevant data and quickly compile it into a report. I want to give them a hard time at the high-level meeting this afternoon."
Tang Nian responded and left.
Meanwhile, inside the Lin family's old house, the father, Lin Zhengguo, and Lin Yun were having a heated argument.
"You'll only tear the Lin family apart by doing this!" Lin Zhengguo rebuked in a low voice, his tone filled with helplessness and heartache. He looked up from the old-fashioned desk, his eyes flashing with confusion and regret. "I once thought that sacrificing you was necessary for the sake of the family's interests, but now you don't even care about basic dignity!"
Lin Yun's face was ashen, and her tone was sharp: "Dad, you've never truly stood by my side! You'd rather push all the blame onto Lin Chuyue than take responsibility! Now you want to elevate her so she can become your scapegoat? You'll have to pay the price for this yourself!"
Lin Zhengguo remained silent for a long time, with only the biting wind outside the window, seemingly telling the story of the loneliness and desolation of a broken family.
Back in the boardroom of the Lin Group building, the afternoon meeting proceeded as scheduled. The latest regulatory announcements and online revelations scrolled across the large screen, with media headlines flashing by: "Lin Group's stock price hits limit down," "Family infighting," "Daughter-father blood relationship shrouded in mystery," and other words that stung the hearts of everyone present.
Lin Chuyue stood before the conference table, her eyes sharp. She knew that this wasn't just a problem with the company's operations; old family secrets had resurfaced. To save the Lin family's future, she had to use the power of law, finance, and public opinion to fight against the dark hand manipulating everything behind the scenes.
"Distinguished directors," Lin Chuyue began, her voice firm and resolute, "we are facing more than just a financial crisis and market volatility. Anonymous reports have revealed that the 'Frost Moon Fund,' established by my mother, has been illegally transferred into a number of unknown accounts, and this is closely related to the CR Consortium and some foreign capital!"
“I demand the establishment of an independent audit committee to re-examine all transfers involving the ‘Frostmoon Fund’ over the past five years. What I want is transparency and justice, not your excuse of covering everything up under the guise of ‘internal restructuring’!”
Inside the meeting room, a lively discussion ensued. Some of the older shareholders hesitated, believing that Lin Chuyue's actions violated traditional family values; while the younger shareholders nodded in support, seeing this as the only opportunity for a complete reshuffle.
Gu Yanchuan snorted coldly, stood up, and approached Lin Chuyue step by step: "President Lin, isn't your so-called justice just your personal revenge? Do you think that by making the 'Frost Moon Fund' accounts public again, you can change your position in the company?"
Lin Chuyue looked him straight in the eye: "What I want is not revenge, but justice! I never hide the truth for personal grudges! If you have a guilty conscience, then release all the secret contracts and fund transfer records between you and the CR Group as soon as possible!"
Gu Yanchuan sneered: "You always think you're on the right path, but that's precisely where you're most vulnerable. You think your mother's death and the mystery surrounding your identity are secrets? A thorough investigation will prove that you're nothing but a scapegoat."
The air was heavy, and everyone's eyes were focused on the standoff between the two.
"Are you scared?" Lin Chuyue suddenly asked in a low voice, her voice tinged with sorrow. "What I've always been afraid of isn't those greedy capitalists outside, but you and my father..."
Before he could finish speaking, the conference room door was pushed open again.
A foreign lawyer in a black suit entered and handed over a legal document stamped with an official seal: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the recently submitted amended agreement by the CR Consortium. It states that if the Lin family's board of directors fails to complete the internal restructuring within the next three months, the CR Consortium will have the right to make an additional investment of 5% to 7% in the company, as well as the right to appoint key management personnel."
The entire room was stunned. The agreement was bloody and blatantly proved that external forces were trying to take advantage of the situation to divide the Lin family and further infiltrate the company's management.
Lin Chuyue snorted coldly, "I will never allow outsiders to control the fate of the Lin family! Board of Directors, I demand that from today onwards, all management must report to me on all external cooperation contracts and fund flows!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became tense. Some directors whispered among themselves, and some even showed expressions of fear.
"You've gone mad!" Gu Yanchuan roared. "Do you think you can ignore all the real problems just because you've grasped the truth? Your so-called 'justice' is nothing but empty talk!"
Lin Chuyue's eyes were as cold as frost: "The reality is, we are both on a chessboard being manipulated. Do you think your hand will never be exposed? I've already prepared all the accounts, and I'm going to have the regulatory authorities thoroughly investigate all the transactions between you!"
Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the conference room. Security guards rushed over and reported, "Dozens of black vehicles are parked outside the company gate. The media has surrounded us... Public opinion has been ignited!"
Online, topics such as "the truth about Lin Chuyue" and "the ongoing scandals" have quickly gained popularity, with financial media predicting that the Lin Group will fall into a full-blown crisis.
Despite being attacked from both inside and outside, Lin Chuyue remained fearless. She knew that this was the best opportunity for her to retaliate.
"Everyone," she said in a deep voice, "everything I'm doing today is not for revenge, nor for myself, but for the future of the Lin family. We must settle those ugly deals of the past and restore a clean record to this company."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yanchuan suddenly stood up, his face ashen. "Lin Chuyue, do you think I don't know that you've been working behind the scenes with Nanhuai Fund, using your own funds to stabilize the market? You've come this far by using so-called justice to blackmail me, haven't you?"
"You have no right to question me like that." Lin Chuyue's eyes were like knives. "What I want is transparency in all transactions and openness to the responsibilities of all senior executives. All your greed will be wiped away by the law and the market."
The meeting room erupted in whispers and discussions, with the old and young shareholders splitting into two factions, exchanging pleasantries. "If these accounts are thoroughly investigated, everyone will probably pay the price..." someone muttered to themselves.
Just as the intense standoff was underway, the phone rang again. Lin Chuyue answered quickly—on the other end was the deep voice of private investigator Jiang Han: "Ms. Lin, we've found a crucial link in the chain. We discovered an unpublished supplement to the 'threatening letter' left by Shen Fang overseas. The supplement confirms that Lin Zhengguo colluded with Shen Fang to manipulate family assets, secretly transferring most of the 'Frost Moon Fund' funds to an external institution. The beneficiary was... the 'CROWN' trust, which Gu Yanchuan's mother had helped establish."
“CROWN Trust?” Lin Chuyue’s voice trembled, her brows furrowed. “That’s actually… related to my mother’s death? Are you saying that my father never truly protected me?”
“I just checked, and there are multiple transfer records in the trust account, which occurred around the time of your mother’s death. All of those funds eventually flowed to an overseas shell company, which is highly consistent with Shen Fang’s asset allocation.”
Li Zhanchuan stood to the side, his gloomy eyes finally revealing murderous intent: "Now I can prove that my mother's death was no accident, and that your father and Gu Yanchuan were involved in this matter long ago!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became heavy, and the whole room fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for the final truth to be revealed.
Lin Chuyue suddenly stood up, her voice booming: "Today, I announce that an independent external auditing firm will be fully involved to conduct a thorough investigation into the financial operations of my Lin Group over the past five years! All transactions involving the 'Frost Moon Fund' and all fund flows related to the CROWN Trust must be made public!"
"You're asking for it!" Gu Yanchuan roared, his eyes flashing with despair and anger. "You're creating internal strife!"
"Creating internal strife?" Lin Chuyue sneered. "This internal strife was created by you long ago! And today is the day the truth will be revealed!"
Her voice came through the conference room speakers, and the entire building erupted in a roar.
The media swarmed in instantly, with financial channels broadcasting live and bombshell headlines popping up one after another: "Lin Chuyue Takes Full Control! Independent Audit Launched, Insider Trading Truth to Be Revealed!" and "Gu Yanchuan Exposed for Scandal, CROWN Trust Case Takes Another Turn!"
The board of directors is clearly divided. Some directors are wavering, worried that the storm will affect them; while some younger directors have sided with Lin Chuyue, supporting her in reforming the company's finances and cleaning up internal corruption.
"Lin Chuyue, are you sure you want to take this to this point?" a middle-aged director asked in a low voice, his eyes full of worry.
"I have no way out," Lin Chuyue replied coldly. "Since you are still standing behind those people, please do not hinder my pursuit of the truth."
For a moment, heated arguments filled the conference room, like a powder keg ready to explode.
……
In the other office, Gu Yanchuan sat alone at his large desk, his face pale. He took a deep breath, put down the documents he was reading, and muttered to himself:
"Lin Chuyue is too stubborn. Perhaps I have to... re-evaluate our cooperation."
He was once the core behind-the-scenes manipulator of this group, but now, with the launch of an independent audit, all his secrets will be exposed one by one.
Just then, his phone rang. It was a text message from Gerald, the middle-aged foreign lawyer: "New abnormal fund flow records have been found in the Lin Group system, involving an overseas account under the Gu family. This account had frequent contact with Shen Fang when she was employed. Mr. Gu, you'd better take action as soon as possible."
Gu Yanchuan frowned, thinking to himself: It seems the situation is indeed not good. Lin Chuyue has stabilized the situation, while my escape routes... are being blocked one by one.
……
Late at night, Lin Chuyue sat alone in the conference room reviewing all the audit reports.
Outside, thunder and rain raged, making the room seem even more silent. She carefully examined the pile of bills and records; each transfer and each contract felt like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
"If my mother's money was indeed transferred... then I will make this whole thing come to light."
She murmured softly, a determined flame flickering in her eyes.
At this moment, Assistant Xiao Jiang rushed over, looking flustered: "President Lin, something bad has happened! Another anonymous whistleblower email has been exposed, saying that you are suspected of manipulating financial data, and even... suspected of misappropriating funds. It has now attracted the attention of the China Securities Regulatory Commission!"
Lin Chuyue gave a cold laugh: "So what?"
