Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 491 One stone stirs up waves

Lin Group - Extraordinary Senior Management Meeting

The air pressure in the conference room was as low as a piece of iron pressing on one's chest.

All the directors were present, and even the Gu family representative, who rarely appeared in public, sat in a corner. Screenshots of trending financial news were prominently displayed on the electronic screen.

"Mr. Lin, we are not questioning you personally, but the group's reputation has been affected, and the board of directors has an obligation to investigate your personal accounts and related financial activities."

Vice Chairman Han said in a deep voice that he was one of Lin Chuyue's father Lin Zhengguo's former subordinates and had always maintained neutrality within the group.

Lin Chuyue remained calm as she pushed the documents to the center of the conference table: "These are my fund flows and copies of the authorization contracts, all of which are legal and compliant. Including the support for my mother's charitable projects, the accounts have all been audited and filed by the group's audit department, which is reasonable and justified."

"If you question me, please also submit the evidence I have provided to the independent auditing firm."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise; no one had expected her to react so quickly and be so well-prepared.

Just then, Gu Yanchuan spoke calmly: "President Lin can certainly provide this information. But if the Lin family's reputation continues to deteriorate, even if you are innocent, it will be difficult to convince the public."

He looked at the senior executives present and said slowly but firmly, "I propose that the board of directors temporarily take over some of the financial authority until the matter is investigated and clarified."

Lin Chuyue sneered: "What do you mean? You want me to relinquish control of the group's funds?"

“This isn’t ‘giving up’,” Gu Yanchuan leaned back in his chair, his voice as gentle as ever. “This is ‘protection’. It’s protection for you and for the company.”

Lin Chuyue's sharp gaze swept over Gu Yanchuan: "Your so-called protection is nothing more than a disguised power grab."

"Shouldn't you introduce your friend who anonymously sent the 'rumor package'? I'd like to 'thank' him for giving me such a big 'gift'."

This statement caused a great stir, and the entire conference room fell into a brief silence.

Gu Yanchuan's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, clearly indicating that something was on his mind.

Just then, Old Han suddenly spoke:

"Actually... there's something I should have said a long time ago."

"Among the anonymous documents this time, there is a fund flow chart of the 'Ruize Charity Project' set up by Mr. Lin's mother. I also participated in the early planning back then, and the expenditure of this money was indeed personally approved by Mrs. Lin."

"But now these funds have been transferred to a shell company... The director of this company is Shen Fang's former assistant, Qin Zhuo."

After he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent once again.

Lin Chuyue suddenly looked up.

—She finally heard that familiar name, which was officially brought to the board's table.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes; he clearly hadn't expected Old Han to suddenly bring up old grievances. And Old Han continued to add insult to injury:

“I don’t want the Lin family to become a laughing stock after your father retires. So Chuyue, this isn’t a battle you have to fight alone; I’ll be on your side.”

After the meeting, Lin Chuyue stood at the end of the corridor and received a call from Lin Zhengguo.

"You and Gu Yanchuan had a falling out?"

"The media is practically portraying you as a corrupt female CEO!"

Lin Zhengguo said angrily, "I told you to keep a low profile so you could stabilize the situation, not to drag the entire Lin family into this!"

Lin Chuyue's voice was cold: "Dad, what you're worried about isn't the Lin family, but your reputation and your peace of mind after you retire."

After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Lin Zhengguo suddenly said something profound:

"If your mother had listened to me back then, she probably wouldn't have ended up like that."

Lin Chuyue was startled.

These words struck her like a thunderbolt, shattering a crack in her heart.

She had always believed that her mother was gradually marginalized because of her business failures and Shen Fang's scheming. But this statement reveals that Lin Zhengguo... may have known all along, and even chosen to give up.

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and her voice was low and menacing: "What else are you hiding from me?"

The call ended without a response.

Nighttime, Li Zhanchuan's apartment.

Lin Chuyue sat on the sofa with a printed document next to her.

“This is the ‘Qin Zhuo’ you asked me to investigate.” Li Zhanchuan stood to the side, his brows furrowed. “He is not only Shen Fang’s assistant, but he has also registered three companies overseas—one of which, the former director of, was the financial advisor for the fund under my mother’s name.”

Lin Chuyue gripped the paper tightly.

This is no longer a coincidence; it's a line.

She looked at Li Zhanchuan: "Your mother's foundation, Shen Fang's people, Gu Yanchuan's involvement... they didn't join forces just now."

Li Zhanchuan looked at her, his dark eyes deep: "It's the same group of forces. They want to take away the Lin family, and they also want you to never be able to hold your head up high again."

"Are you afraid of it?"

Lin Chuyue looked at him and slowly uttered a sentence:

"I'm afraid I'm not finding out fast enough."

She stood up, her voice as cold as frost:

"They want to see me all alone, right? Then let them see that I can turn this situation around completely by myself."

Within the Lin Group, the confrontation between Gu Yanchuan's faction and Han Lao's "neutral" faction, which supports Lin Chuyue, is beginning to emerge. Lin Yun secretly delivers the knife, Qin Zhuo hides behind the scenes, and Lin Zhengguo's attitude is ambiguous... Lin Chuyue stands in the midst of a raging storm, facing the entire high-level network alone for the first time.
