OBS Chapter 488 Dark Clouds
Chapter 488 Dark Clouds
Early in the morning, dark clouds covered the area outside the Lin Group building.
As soon as Lin Chuyue arrived at the office, her secretary rushed up to her in a flustered voice:
"President Lin, something bad has happened. The board members have collectively proposed to hold an emergency meeting, saying... they want to reconsider your decision-making authority."
Lin Chuyue frowned, gazing at the somber sky outside the window, as if foreshadowing an eventful day.
"Who will lead the way?"
“Gu Yanchuan, and… Lin Zhengguo.”
Lin Chuyue was suddenly startled, her fingers clenching tightly.
"I'll arrange it, I'll go."
-
Boardroom.
The moment Lin Chuyue stepped in, the entire room fell silent.
At the end of the long table, Gu Yanchuan, dressed in a navy blue suit, stood with a cold and aloof demeanor. He tapped the table lightly with two fingers and slowly spoke:
"This emergency meeting concerns the future direction of the Lin family."
He raised his eyes and looked directly at Lin Chuyue, "It's more about whether President Lin still has the ability to continue serving as the head of the group."
Lin Chuyue's expression was calm, but her eyes were churning with turmoil.
"reason?"
Gu Yanchuan pushed a document in his hand to the center of the table.
"This is your financial record of private investments in Middle Eastern projects that failed in your personal capacity, totaling over 50 million. These funds were originally intended for the start-up project of the new research building, but have now been misappropriated."
Lin Chuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
“I never signed any misappropriation order.”
“But this is your fingerprint authorization, and the password is your private account,” Gu Yanchuan said softly. “The records on the account are very clear.”
Lin Chuyue instantly understood—someone had accessed her account and even forged her signature and fingerprints.
This was a premeditated betrayal.
One director said, "President Lin's recent aggressive decisions and frequent contact with the Li family may have shaken the group's independence."
"Yes, the company's stock price fluctuates frequently, and shareholders lack confidence."
"Furthermore, rumors are circulating internally that some suspect President Lin and Li Zhanchuan colluded to manipulate the financial statements..."
For a time, there was a roar of wind.
Lin Chuyue looked at Gu Yanchuan and calmly asked, "You want my position?"
Gu Yanchuan smiled slightly, "I just want to stabilize the Lin family."
Just as Lin Chuyue was about to speak, the door was pushed open.
A nervous-looking assistant hurried over to her ear and whispered, "Director Lin Zhengguo... has submitted a statement of resignation and supports President Gu to temporarily take over the management of the group."
The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Lin Chuyue's fingers trembled.
She never expected that Lin Zhengguo would actually betray her at this moment.
The knife handed out by the father was colder than that of the enemy.
For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to her past life, to that night when Lin Zhengguo personally pushed her into the fire pit.
This time, he didn't use "training" as a cover-up; instead, he directly forced her out of the position of power.
-
Gu Yanchuan stood up and handed over the new proposal document:
"Based on the shareholders' proportions, more than 51% of the directors have signed a petition requesting that Lin Chuyue temporarily suspend her duties as CEO."
"Next, let's vote."
Lin Chuyue remained standing in the same spot, her eyes as cold as frost.
She didn't speak, but she waited.
A moment later, the door was pushed open again.
Li Zhanchuan appeared.
He wore a black trench coat, his expression was cool and aloof, his steps were steady, and he exuded an undeniable sense of pressure.
"You're all going to vote, how can you leave me out?"
He took out a document and spread it on the table:
"This is the 5% stake in the Lin family that I officially acquired yesterday through an overseas investment account. The transaction has now been completed and transferred to my personal name."
The board members were in an uproar.
Lin Chuyue suddenly looked up.
Li Zhanchuan calmly looked at Gu Yanchuan: "Now let's vote again. I want to see if your people still make up the majority."
Gu Yanchuan's expression changed drastically.
Lin Chuyue finally let out a soft breath.
But she knew in her heart that this was not the end, but the prelude to an even bigger storm.
She looked at Gu Yanchuan, her gaze cold and detached.
"You think I'm just trying to hold onto my position?"
“I will also pick up a knife and settle all of this with my own hands.”

End-of-chapter climax
After the meeting, Lin Chuyue returned to her office, and a black dialog box suddenly popped up on her computer screen with only one sentence:
You think Li Zhanchuan is on your side? Do you even know who killed his mother?
In the image, a blurry female figure appears—it is none other than Lin's mother when she was young.
Lin Chuyue's expression changed drastically, and she staggered.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, Shen Qingyuan sneered from the shadows:
"You think you've won? You don't understand, none of them... are clean."
