Chapter 638 London Secret Letter
London was shrouded in a continuous gray drizzle.
Li Zhanchuan sat in the car, gazing at the ancient street scene outside the window, his brows furrowed in a cold, somber expression. In his hand lay the letter he had retrieved from the secret chamber of the old house—
That was left to him by his mother, or rather, it was a "last will and testament" that she never sent before her death.
The paper was slightly yellowed, with worn edges, as if it had been deliberately sealed away for many years. The handwriting on it was clear and strong, beginning with:
"Zhanchuan, by the time you read this letter, I may no longer be by your side."
"Everything I have endured is not due to fate, but rather... a manipulated game of chess."
Li Zhanchuan stared at the words on the letter, reading line by line, his knuckles gradually turning white.
My mother's death was always classified as "sudden cardiac death".
But this letter contains the following:
She had long been aware of the existence of the "Shen's Consciousness Experiment" and was one of the external observers in the early research.
The day she died was the night before she decided to hand over the relevant experimental evidence to the CIA.
There was another sentence in the letter that made his eyes turn completely cold:
"Lin Zhengguo was one of the funders of that experiment."
—Lin Chuyue's father.
His eyes were menacing as he slammed his fist into the car window, cracks quickly spreading across his vision.
?
Meanwhile, domestically...
Lin Chuyue stood in the control room of Starlink Medical headquarters, with Lin Yun and Farview intelligence personnel behind her.
"Project W" has been officially launched, and a newly retrieved system file is being projected in front of her.
Document Number: w-001
Title: The Beginning of the Abyss
The file contained several familiar names:
Shen Fang (Experimental Receptor C)
Lin Yun (Experiment Observer D)
Lin Zhengguo (Endorser of Funds and Identity A-03)
Lin Chuyue stared at the line of words without moving, her lips almost bleeding from being bitten.
"He actually participated in the early experiments."
Lin Yun's expression was extremely complicated: "When I was undergoing 'consciousness reconstruction therapy' abroad, the attending physician mentioned a name - a director of the Lin Group who had funded the initial construction of experimental facilities."
"But I didn't expect... it would be him."
Lin Chuyue slowly clenched her fist.
Lin Zhengguo is the "father" she has sought to identify with since childhood.
Even knowing that he had neglected her, favored Lin Yun, and even "trained" her to the brink of collapse at Shen Fang's instigation, she never truly severed this blood tie—
But now, he turns out to be the "mastermind" behind that experiment.
They may even know the truth about Shen Fang's "abnormal means" of switching parent-child relationships.
“He always knew,” Lin Chuyue murmured.
Lin Yun looked at her, wanting to say something but ultimately remained silent.
?
Starlink Medical that night.
Lin Zhengguo was secretly invited to Starlink by a special security team, ostensibly for "a cross-border merger and acquisition review of the Vision Fund".
Inside the meeting room, Lin Chuyue sat alone in the main seat, her expression calm.
Lin Zhengguo walked in, a gentle smile on his face: "Chuyue, what brings you here, Father?"
"Have a seat," Lin Chuyue said calmly, pushing a document towards her.
“I have a record of the ‘consciousness experiment’ here, with your signature on it.”
Lin Zhengguo's smile froze instantly.
He reached for the document, but Lin Chuyue stopped him.
"I don't need your explanation. I'm just here to tell you—"
You owe me the truth.
Lin Zhengguo's breath hitched slightly, and he forced a smile, "Listen to me, I did make some financial investments back then, but it was just a routine incubation of neurotherapy technology..."
"You signed the 'human experimentation ethics exemption letter'."
Lin Chuyue looked directly at him and said, "You personally handed those documents to Shen Fang, becoming the endorser for her to legitimize her experiments."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned pale: "I...I didn't know she would use it on you!"
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Don't you know she switched the identities of the two children? Don't you know she used the excuse of 'training her daughter' to put me in a state of mental oppression? Don't you know that when I was ten years old, I underwent 'immersion therapy' in the hospital, and as a result, I had a high fever for three days and three nights and almost died?"
She spoke each word clearly:
"Don't you know, or do you simply not care?"
Lin Zhengguo finally fell silent.
A look of sadness appeared in Lin Chuyue's eyes: "I have told myself time and time again that maybe you have just been deceived."
“But now I understand—you just chose the daughter who was more ‘advantageous’ to you.”
Lin Zhengguo looked up at her, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, but he remained stubborn: "Chuyue, I was indeed wrong. But I didn't expect you to do so well now... You are a descendant of the Shen family, your life is much better than I imagined."
"You should also understand that this world is not determined by good and evil, but by strength."
Lin Chuyue stood up and looked down at him: "So you don't deserve to be my father."
"From today onwards, we will sever all private contact."
?
At the same moment, in England, Li Zhanchuan stood in his mother's old residence.
He clicked on the second audio recording his mother had left him.
"Zhan Chuan, if you hear this, then you must already know the Shen family's plan and understand why I left."
"What you need to do is not just protect Lin Chuyue, but prevent the entire consciousness control system from being fully activated."
“They thought Lin Chuyue was the ‘key,’ but they were wrong.”
"She is the lock."
"You are her only solution."
Li Zhanchuan looked up, his eyes icy cold.
“Shen Yanli,” he said in a low voice, “you’ve made a mistake.”
"I will make you disappear completely from this game of chess."
**
The following morning, Starlink Medical secretly entered the "W-2 phase" deployment.
Lin Chuyue ordered the overseas infiltration plan to be activated, preparing to send Lin Yun to Switzerland to infiltrate the "Hidden Experiment Base".
She and Li Zhanchuan will head to the ancestral home of the Shen family—the place where the source code of the "Night Chess Mother" is truly hidden.
They must seize back the ultimate consciousness control "original disk" before Shen Yanli does.
?
On this day, the sky over the capital was gloomy.
The calm before the storm is like a thick fog looming over the city.
No one knows the true killing move in this game of chess built around "bloodline," "consciousness," and "memory"—
The move has just been made.

To be continued
?
If you wish, I can continue updating Chapter 169, which is planned to include:
Lin Yun infiltrates the Swiss experimental center and has her first encounter with the "out-of-control individual";
Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan returned to the Shen family ancestral home and unearthed the "bloodline video" hidden by Shen's mother;
Gu Yanchuan was kidnapped by an outsider from the Shen family, his consciousness system was invaded, and the real and fake "Gu Yanchuan" appeared in the world;
Shen Yanli initiated "Project Residual Image," remotely activating deep brain commands in Lin Chuyue...
