Chapter 630 Seeking Shadows in Dreams
Lin Chuyue sat in the first-class cabin of her flight back to China, clutching the photocopied letter that Shen Chen had urgently sent her. The letter paper was already yellowed, the handwriting neat and secretive, each stroke seemingly deliberately concealing its true meaning.
"Experimental plan initiated. Individual S-3 is stable. Care should be taken to avoid cross-intervention between L and C lineages..."
She stared at the words "S-3" and felt a strange unease rising in her heart.
That was Shen Wanqing's code name.
Her father, Shen Hengchuan, had actually participated in a secret medical experiment for the Shen family, turning his only daughter into a test subject.
Lin Chuyue raised her hand to her temple, the information in her mind gradually weaving together an absurd and dangerous truth: the power struggle within the Shen family had never deviated from the three hidden threads of mind control, genetic screening, and resource control. In the past, she had only seen the struggle for money and power, but she was unaware that deep within the Shen family, something far more sinister than money lurked.
As the plane was about to land in Haicheng, she had already made up her mind.
This time, she is not only seeking revenge for her mother, but also to expose the old scheme of "spiritual imprisonment" and "destruction of humanity" within the entire Shen family.
……
Meanwhile, in a private villa in the eastern suburbs of Haicheng, Shen Yanli was sitting by the fireplace, looking through a document that had just been sent back.
His expression was calmer and more ruthless than Shen Fang's.
The secretary whispered, "Lin Chuyue has returned to the country, and Gu Yanchuan is assisting her in investigating the mind control experiments from her early years."
Shen Yanli sneered: "The Gu family... are indeed opportunists. The little bit of affection they had when they were young can't change the situation in the slightest."
The secretary tentatively asked, "Should we make a move?"
Shen Yanli closed the documents in his hand and slowly stood up: "No rush. Lin Chuyue is not ruthless enough, Gu Yanchuan is not cruel enough, Li Zhanchuan... is the only variable."
"I'd like to see if he'll bring out the secret he left behind by his mother for Lin Chuyue's sake."
The secretary was startled: "The 'agreement file' left by Li's mother? Wasn't it said to be related to 'secret medical experiments'?"
Shen Yanli smiled, his eyes revealing a sinister glint: "That was one of the earliest technological sources of the entire Shen family's spiritual network. Back then, our Shen family, Gu family, and Li family all participated. Later, Madam Gu died, Madam Li jumped off a building, and only Shen Fang survived."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
The secretary was speechless.
"Go find Lin Yun."
“Tell her that if she still wants to reclaim her position in the Lin family, she should take the initiative to give Lin Chuyue a ‘big gift’.”
"Isn't she best at playing the weak and the younger sister?" Shen Yanli smiled faintly. "Let her put on a show."
"This time, I want Lin Chuyue to personally push her mother into the abyss."
……
The Lin family's old house.
Lin Yun was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, carefully drawing her eyebrows with a brush.
The phone screen lit up, displaying a string of encrypted information:
"Go ahead and do it, don't waste your face."
She gazed at the face in the mirror that bore a striking resemblance to Lin Chuyue, her eyes growing cold.
"Sister, you've taken away Dad's favoritism, Yuanjing's support, and Li Zhanchuan's companionship... Now, let me take away your last remaining hope."
She stood up, walked out of the room, and said to her assistant, "Arrange a meeting. I need to see Lin Chuyue."
……
The following afternoon, Lin Chuyue met Lin Yun at Xinglan Club.
The other person was wearing a white dress, and her cool and delicate appearance seemed to bring back memories of when we first met, but the hypocrisy in her eyes was now hard to hide.
"Sister, I heard that Aunt's condition has worsened, so I came to see you." Lin Yun spoke softly, seemingly genuinely concerned.
Lin Chuyue looked at her expressionlessly: "Speak, what brings you here?"
Lin Yun's eyes flashed, and she bit her lip: "Do you know... Dad has been going to Shen Yanli's club lately?"
Lin Chuyue's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
"I was worried about you." Lin Yun said, taking out a photo—a picture of Lin Zhengguo and Shen Yanli drinking and chatting happily in the club.
“Shen Yanli has contacted my father. He is planning a new round of restructuring for the Lin Group, and his goal is to completely remove you from the board of directors.”
Lin Chuyue's expression was cold as she took the photo and examined it closely. Sure enough, it was a timestamp from a few days ago.
“That’s not the point,” Lin Yun added in a low voice. “I overheard my father receiving a phone call from Shen Yanli. In that call, he mentioned… ‘Shen Wanqing’s memory recovery drug’ and the words ‘target implantation’.”
Lin Chuyue suddenly looked up: "What did you say?"
Lin Yun gritted her teeth and said, "Shen Yanli plans to make your mother believe whatever he says before she wakes up. He has a way—to reshape a person's cognitive system."
“If you don’t act quickly, your aunt will be completely… no longer your mother.”
Lin Chuyue's breath hitched.
She recalled her mother's terrified struggles at night, murmuring in her dreams, "They're going to replace me," and "Don't plant anything in my head."
A chill ran down my spine.
"Are you telling me this to remind me, or to sow discord?"
Lin Yun stood up, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Sister, I've made too many mistakes, but there are some things... I know better than you."
"You think you can control the current situation, but if Shen Yanli makes a move, you won't even be able to protect your last remaining relative."
"Your mother is not the same person she used to be."
Lin Chuyue slammed her fist on the table: "Get out."
Lin Yun was startled and stood there dumbfounded.
"Don't ever appear in front of me again." Lin Chuyue's voice was as cold as ice. "You're nothing but Shen Yanli's dog. No amount of tenderness can cover up the blood on your hands."
Lin Yun gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red, but she finally let out a cold laugh: "Fine, then you can continue to believe in your gentle, cold, and omnipotent Li Zhanchuan."
"You'll only know who your real enemy is when he reveals the truth."
With that, she turned and left, her skirt billowing as a sharp blade was hidden beneath the white veil.
……
In the evening, Lin Chuyue returned to the Shen family's old house.
The mother remained asleep, with a new nurse in a white coat beside her.
She stared at the man and suddenly asked, "Which hospital sent you?"
The other party paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "The personnel dispatched by Yuanchen Medical hold ICU emergency care certificates."
"Give me your documents."
The man was taken aback and immediately took out his identification from his pocket.
Lin Chuyue took it, her eyes flashing, and immediately said coldly, "Leng Yihan, take him away."
Leng Yihan, who had been waiting outside, waved his hand, and two bodyguards immediately entered and took the man into custody.
"You dare!" the male nurse struggled. "I'm a legal person—"
"You were wearing a watch on your right hand just now, but in this photo, you're writing a document with your left hand." Lin Chuyue tossed out a screenshot from a surveillance camera. "Fake identity, fake documents—how dare you infiltrate the Shen residence?"
The man's expression changed drastically. He struggled to break free and tried to escape, but was punched in the abdomen and fell straight to the ground.
Lin Chuyue stood by the bed, looking at Shen Wanqing's slightly furrowed brows, and said softly, "Mom, I will protect you."
……
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan sat in his study, quietly flipping through the leather-bound notebook left by his mother.
The last page contains doodles and symbols from his childhood memories that he never understood.
"Project X.31".
His eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice:
"Shen Yanli, just how many secrets are you hiding?"
