Chapter 664 Dark Web Appears
Three days later, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the morning fog had not yet dissipated.
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan appeared in front of a standalone office building located at the southern end of Silicon Valley.
This building houses a shell company called "HY-Structures," which is the final destination of the last untraceable "anonymous trust" in the ISA audit report.
“The real controller behind this company is Shen Yanli.” Li Zhanchuan placed the investigation materials in her hands. “But he used multiple layers of legal entity segregation and also accessed a fund pool through a dark web fund channel. Normal audits will never see this.”
Lin Chuyue frowned: "He's been preparing ISA's stand-in for a long time. We've only just begun to peel back the layers."
For this trip to San Francisco, she only brought a few key people with her—Li Zhanchuan, Chen Wei, head of the ISA audit department, and technical personnel responsible for information protection.
"Before we go in, let's make sure we know who's in the building today," Lin Chuyue said softly.
Li Zhanchuan nodded, and a report came through his wireless earpiece: "There is a small private meeting on the fourth floor. The identities of all the participants could not be confirmed, but they include a representative from the Abu Dhabi Foundation, an anonymous director of a blockchain exchange, and—Shen Yanli."
Lin Chuyue's eyes darkened: "It seems he knew we were coming."
Li Zhanchuan's lips curled slightly: "He's been waiting for you for a long time."
?
Inside the conference room, Shen Yanli sat in the main seat, his gaze shifting among the several mysterious attendees around him.
Beside him, a young man wearing glasses whispered, "'Star Pulse Protocol' has been activated. As long as we approve the new structural model at today's meeting, the old architecture of ISA can be marginalized at any time."
“The funds will all flow into our dark web structure,” another man with a Middle Eastern appearance whispered. “Untraceable globally.”
Shen Yanli nodded: "Lin Chuyue wanted to control ISA, but she underestimated the depth of my plan."
Before the words were finished, the door was pushed open.
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan walked in side by side, their expressions calm.
"It seems I arrived at just the right time."
Everyone present was startled. Some instinctively closed their notebooks, while others calmly picked up their coffee.
Shen Yanli slowly stood up, his tone indifferent: "Chuyue, you're becoming more and more like Shen Fang."
Lin Chuyue remained unmoved: "You're becoming more and more like a coup d'état."
The air seemed to freeze.
"I'm curious, how did you get through HY's protective walls?" Shen Yanli walked towards her. "You don't have a technical background, and most of ISA's technical staff are still under my control."
“I don’t have a technical background,” Lin Chuyue said, spreading a document out in front of him, “but I have Li Zhanchuan.”
Li Zhanchuan stepped forward: "Your blockchain isolation layer is an old framework built with C language, full of vulnerabilities. HY-Structures was taken over forty-seven hours ago. Now, the control of your so-called 'Star Pulse Protocol' is in my hands."
Shen Yanli's pupils contracted sharply, and he turned abruptly to the tech-savvy young man beside him: "What's going on?"
The young man's face turned ashen: "I...I can't find the main access point anymore; the entry point has been moved."
"You..." Shen Yanli glared at Lin Chuyue, "This is illegal intrusion—"
“ISA’s trust subsidiary has a supervisory obligation over the fund you established,” Lin Chuyue said coldly. “We have full authorization. Your illegal transfer of ISA’s core assets is the real financial crime.”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
At this moment, a Middle Eastern representative frowned and stood up: "Mr. Shen, we should not get involved in this kind of family feud."
"Family feud?" Lin Chuyue looked at him, her eyes sharp as knives. "This is not a family feud, this is a just reclaiming of financial control."
“ISA is a global financial platform, not the private property of any one person. I will not allow it to become a breeding ground for financial speculation.”
The expressions of the representatives present changed slightly.
Many of them were opportunists who initially viewed ISA merely as a channel for resource transfer. However, Lin Chuyue's demonstrated "control" forced them to reassess this young leader.
The meeting reached a stalemate.
Suddenly, an electronic voice announced: "The ISA central authority network has restored the main chain structure."
Lin Chuyue looked at Li Zhanchuan.
He nodded: "We won. From now on, the core of ISA's power will no longer be allowed to be severed."
?
After the meeting, Lin Chuyue walked out of the building and took a deep breath.
"That's like clearing away a major landmine." Chen Wei stood behind her and breathed a sigh of relief.
"But it also reveals that we have already taken control of ISA." Li Zhanchuan looked warily into the distance. "Shen Yanli will not let this go."
“He won’t,” Lin Chuyue said resolutely, “but he’s lost his chance.”
“I saw through his last move today. The fund representatives around him have already started contacting ISA’s core trading department. What I took from him was not just the structure, but also—trust.”
?
At the same time, in New York.
Inside a high-end private club.
Shen Yun sat on the sofa by the window, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.
Across from me was Lin Zhengguo.
His face was haggard, and his brows were furrowed: "You handed over ISA's secret accounts to Chuyue?"
Shen Yun nodded: "It's time to return it to her."
Lin Zhengguo's voice suddenly turned cold: "Do you know what you're doing? That's the last bargaining chip your mother left behind before she died!"
Shen Yun's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "It is also evidence of her crimes throughout her life."
“Father,” she finally called out, “who do you want to protect? You protected Shen Fang, and she died; you protected Lin Yun, and she went mad; now you want to stop Chu Yue, but she is the only one who can pull this family out of this quagmire.”
Lin Zhengguo remained silent for a long time before sighing, "I just... don't want to lose another daughter."
“Then stop treating her as an enemy.” Shen Yun stood up. “Otherwise, you’ll lose more than just her in the end.”
?
Night falls.
Lin Chuyue stood on the hotel balcony, gazing at the lights of San Francisco.
Behind her, Li Zhanchuan draped a trench coat over her shoulders: "Which way should we go next?"
“Shen Yanli hasn’t completely collapsed yet. He still has one last channel on the dark web that hasn’t been cut off.” She turned around. “I’m going back to China to initiate the restructuring of ISA Global Holdings. I’ll make sure he has no place to stand.”
“But that also means you’ll be encroaching on the interests of those ‘old foxes,’” Li Zhanchuan said in a low voice. “Besides the Shen family, there are many other people who don’t want you to stay in this position.”
“I don’t need their wishes,” Lin Chuyue said softly. “What I want is for them to have to accept it.”
Li Zhanchuan looked at her, and for the first time, deep respect appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Lin Chuyue was no longer the novice who had just entered the business world.
She is the one who controls her destiny, the true player in the game.
Behind her, however, the enemy was not yet defeated, and undercurrents were surging.
But she never backed down.
?
She once struggled at the bottom of fate, but now she stands at the top, facing the wind.
She will win this round.
