Chapter 438 Head-on Confrontation
A black SUV sped through the night, the atmosphere inside heavy and oppressive.
Lin Chuyue opened the document in her hand, her gaze sweeping over each page, her fingertips applying slight pressure until her knuckles turned white.
The contents of these materials were far more terrifying than she had imagined.
—Illegal fund flows, cross-border transactions, commercial bribery, transaction records of assassin organizations…
It even involved high-ranking figures.
Who is behind this?
She slowly exhaled, calmly closed the file, and looked at Gu Yanchuan, who was driving beside her: "Can your men crack that phone?"
Gu Yanchuan frowned slightly, his gaze cold: "I've already sent it for data recovery, but whether it can be completely repaired is still unknown."
"However... our problems now are not just about this phone."
He looked up and glanced at Lin Chuyue through the rearview mirror, his tone cold and deep: "You should have noticed the attack at the port earlier."
"The other party is not just an assassin."
"The ability to precisely block surveillance, arrange ambushes in advance, and mobilize snipers... this is definitely not something an ordinary force can do."
Lin Chuyue's eyes were deep and unfathomable as she lightly tapped the document cover with her fingertips: "If I'm not mistaken, there's a military or special organization behind this."
"Moreover... this is closely related to Shen Fang's previous plans."

Many doubts
The car drove into the city and stopped in front of a secluded upscale apartment building.
They needed a safe place to handle these documents, and this apartment was a private property under Li Zhanchuan's control, so it wouldn't be easily exposed.
After entering the apartment, Lin Chuyue sat on the sofa with some documents in her hand, while Li Zhanchuan stood beside her with his arms crossed, a thoughtful look in his cold and handsome eyes.
"The fact that the people behind this are so eager to silence them means that there is something in these documents that could kill them."
He spoke in a low voice: "But the problem is... Wen Jingzhao was originally just one of Shen Fang's subordinates, so how did he manage to obtain so many secrets?"
"What role did he actually play?"
Gu Yanchuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Perhaps, he is not just Shen Fang's subordinate."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes and tapped the table: "You mean... he might have another master?"
"It's possible."
Gu Yanchuan said in a deep voice, "Although Shen Fang is very ambitious, no matter how shrewd she is, she cannot directly mobilize the power of international assassin organizations, black market funding chains, and military backgrounds."
"These materials are definitely not just Shen Fang's plan."
"There's an even bigger mastermind behind this."
-
Clues broken
The phone vibrated.
Lin Chuyue opened the message; it was from an informant she had placed among Shen Fang's former subordinates.
[Ms. Lin, Wen Jingzhao's house has been ransacked. Everything that could prove his identity has been taken. The police are saying it was a 'gang fight.']
Her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"The people behind the scenes are moving very quickly."
"They have begun to erase any trace of Wen Jingzhao's existence."
Li Zhanchuan smiled faintly, his tone sarcastic: "It seems they are truly afraid."
Lin Chuyue's gaze was cold: "We must get all the valuable information out of them before they do."
She paused, then looked at Gu Yanchuan: "When is the earliest your technical team can restore the phone data?"
Gu Yanchuan replied, "At the fastest, twelve hours."
Lin Chuyue nodded, about to say something, when suddenly, a series of urgent police sirens sounded outside the apartment.
She frowned slightly, stood up, and pulled back the curtains to take a look—
Outside, three black police cars were parked downstairs.
A group of fully armed special police officers quickly surrounded the apartment.
-
A sudden warning
"They moved really fast."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
She calmly sat back on the sofa, her slender fingers casually flipping through the documents, as if she didn't care what was happening outside.
Li Zhanchuan gave a cold laugh, leaned against the wall, and looked sharp.
Gu Yanchuan picked up his phone, dialed a number, and whispered, "Find out who's leading this team."
A few seconds later, his brow furrowed slightly.
"It's Director Wang."
Lin Chuyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name.
Director Wang, the deputy director of the police station, usually keeps a low profile, but there are rumors that he has close ties with certain business tycoons.
"It seems they have started to exert pressure through official means."
Lin Chuyue chuckled softly, her tone calm: "Let's go, let's go down and meet them."
-
head-on confrontation
A few minutes later, Lin Chuyue, Li Zhanchuan, and Gu Yanchuan walked out of the apartment.
At the entrance, Director Wang stood there with several police officers, their sharp eyes fixed on them.
"Miss Lin."
Although Director Wang's tone was polite, there was a hint of pressure in his eyes: "Someone has reported that you are illegally possessing classified documents, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, looking at him calmly: "Reported? Who reported it?"
Director Wang did not answer, but simply said, "Please come back with us."
An invisible sense of oppression permeated the air.
This is not an ordinary investigation, but a warning.
-
strong counterattack
"What if I don't want to?"
Lin Chuyue spoke slowly, her voice carrying a faint smile, but her eyes were exceptionally sharp.
Director Wang paused slightly, his expression darkening: "Miss Lin, I hope you won't make things difficult for us."
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Li Zhanchuan beside her: "Zhanchuan, how much evidence do we have that can expose the 'gray cases' that Director Wang has handled over the past few years?"
Li Zhanchuan sneered: "At least a dozen copies, enough to make him lose his position as deputy director."
Director Wang's expression suddenly changed!
"Miss Lin, are you threatening me?"
Lin Chuyue chuckled softly: "How could that be? I was just reminding you—"
"There are some things you shouldn't interfere with lightly."
"Otherwise, even your powerful backer won't be able to protect you."
The air solidified instantly.
Director Wang's expression shifted rapidly. After a moment, he gave Lin Chuyue a deep look and finally waved his hand.
"withdraw."
The SWAT team quickly withdrew, and the police cars drove away as if nothing had happened.
-
escalation of the war
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, watching the police car drive away, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"They're starting to panic."
"But... this is just the beginning."
Li Zhanchuan slowly spoke: "Since they are so eager to cover up the truth, we must not let them have their way."
Lin Chuyue chuckled: "Of course."
"I want to see where their bottom line really is."
In the darkness, the sea breeze was slightly cool.
An even bigger storm is brewing...
