Chapter 505 Recording Pen
Night fell, dark clouds rolled in, and a storm was brewing.
Lin Chuyue drove alone to the address provided by Jiang Han—an abandoned factory in the far suburbs, desolate and quiet, with an ominous atmosphere.
Tang Nian originally insisted on coming along, but she refused.
"I have to go myself." Lin Chuyue's tone was calm, but it concealed an unprecedented determination. "There are some things I have to face."
Wearing a voice recorder and a GPS tracker, she was all set and waiting for the truth to be revealed.
Under the dim yellow light inside the factory, Jiang Han was leaning against a dilapidated iron cabinet smoking. When he saw her appear, his smile was like a snake in the winter night: "You really came."
Lin Chuyue stood three meters away and said in a deep voice, "I'm here. You said you have a recording of my mother?"
Jiang Han flicked his cigarette ash: "Yes. But before I do, I want to ask you a question—have you ever thought about which side the man you've always wanted to protect, Gu Yanchuan, is actually on?"
Lin Chuyue remained unmoved and replied calmly, "Your attempts to provoke me won't work. Just say what you want to say, stop with the nonsense."
Jiang Han chuckled, took out a voice recorder from his pocket, and pressed the play button.
hiss-
After the recording noise subsided, a gentle yet firm female voice came through:
"...I've found out that Shen Fang has the support of the Gu family, and Lin Zhengguo may also be involved. If anything happens to me, please entrust it to...my son Zhanchuan...He's still young, but he's kind-hearted. I can't let him grow up to be trampling on other people's blood."
Lin Chuyue's pupils suddenly contracted.
This is... Li Zhanchuan's mother's voice.
Before she died, she realized that the Gu family was involved behind Shen Fang!
The name "Lin Zhengguo" felt like a rusty knife, piercing her heart.
Seeing her expression change, Jiang Han's smile grew even more sinister: "Did you think I took these for you? No... Lin Chuyue, I just want you to see how the Lin family, which you risked your life to protect back then, betrayed you."
"You think you're invincible just because you've died once? No, you're still living in someone else's hands."
He suddenly slammed the recording pen to the ground.
"I want more than just a whistleblower; I want you to destroy the Lin family with your own hands—to drag your father down to hell with your own hands!"
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath and slowly raised her head: "You're crazy."
Jiang Han took a step forward and roared, "I'm not a madman, I'm an avenger!"
"Shen Fang is dead, but I am alive. I will make the Lin family pay for their blood debt!"
Lin Chuyue took a step back and said calmly, "It's your business if you want revenge. But don't try to control me."
Do you think I would do what you did, tie my life to someone else?
Jiang Han's expression froze, and a hint of annoyance surfaced in his eyes.
Lin Chuyue suddenly pressed the tracking device in her pocket: "I've already recorded it. Everything you just said is enough for me to call the police."
Jiang Han's expression changed drastically!
"you dare--"
Lin Chuyue ignored him and turned to leave.
But just as she stepped out the door, she suddenly heard Jiang Han speak with a cold laugh:
"Did you know? Lin Zhengguo not only had a deal with Shen Fang, he almost married her."
“Back then, Shen Fang was ostracized by your mother and almost lost power. It was Lin Zhengguo who rescued her from the mire.”
"Do you think, if it weren't for your mother's child... you might not even exist today?"
Lin Chuyue's body trembled, and her knuckles tightened suddenly.
But she didn't turn around.
The wind was incredibly strong that night.
……
the next day.
Lin Chuyue submitted the recording to a private investigator and also made a backup of the recording of Li Zhanchuan's mother, which she then handed over to Li Zhanchuan.
After listening, the man remained silent for a long time.
“My mother…she knew everything.”
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were churning with anger.
"Do you believe what Jiang Han said?" Lin Chuyue asked softly.
Li Zhanchuan shook his head, then nodded, his expression complex and contradictory.
"I don't want to believe it, but many things... don't add up anymore."
"Lin Zhengguo not only condoned Shen Fang back then, but he is very likely the 'behind-the-scenes acquiescer' of all of this."
"He wasn't the knife, but he gave Shen Fang the knife."
Lin Chuyue was speechless for a moment.
Tang Nian rushed over in a panic: "It's terrible! Lin's Group is holding an emergency meeting of senior executives today. Lin Zhengguo wants to propose the establishment of a 'Board of Directors Supervision Group,' ostensibly to supervise whether your recent 'personnel investigation' was in violation of regulations—he wants to use this to strip you of your power!"
Lin Chuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Lin Zhengguo finally made his move.
He no longer chose to remain silent, but instead decided to eliminate her openly and decisively.
Li Zhanchuan grabbed her arm, his gaze hardening: "Don't be afraid, I'll go with you today."
Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth and nodded.
"Alright, let's go see who still has the confidence to put on this show."
……
At the board meeting, undercurrents were running deep.
Lin Zhengguo sat in the main seat, his face stern as always.
"Today's meeting was convened on short notice, mainly because of the frequent changes within the company recently, and there has been a lot of feedback from employees and shareholders."
“Although Chu Yue is the chairman, power cannot be unchecked. For the sake of fairness, we propose to establish a supervisory team, and select three senior executives to work with Chu Yue to approve any personnel changes.”
As soon as he finished speaking, several senior executives echoed his sentiments.
Chairman Chen: "Chairman Lin is right. Young people are indeed prone to acting rashly, and they do need some experienced and mature people to help them."
Chairman Li: "Chuyue is a good girl, and we've all watched her grow up. Nobody wants to suppress her. But the company doesn't belong to her alone."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly: "Not just mine?"
She stood up and coldly looked at this group of self-proclaimed mature and prudent "old foxes".
"Whose is that?"
"Zhao Yingshan's?"
"Is it Shen Fang's?"
The meeting room fell silent instantly.
She took out a document and slammed the pages onto the table.
"Zhao Yingshan's company illegally operated the supply chain, involving 1.3 million yuan. There was an internal whistleblower three years ago. Who among you suppressed it?"
"Why has the company turned a blind eye to Shen Fang's misuse of public funds for gifts, arranging private accounts, and even participating in overseas money laundering during her tenure?"
"This isn't a board meeting, it's a rat's den."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned ashen: "Lin Chuyue, you've gone too far!"
“I was just checking the accounts; they were the ones who had a guilty conscience.” Lin Chuyue pressed closer. “And you, are you going to tell me—that you accepted Shen Fang’s villa, falsified asset valuations, and conspired with her to implement a ‘shareholding dilution plan’… all of this was ‘for the company’?”
The whole place was dead silent.
Lin Zhengguo slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly: "I'll say it again, I am your father!"
Lin Chuyue stared at him, her eyes unwavering: "But I am not your shield, much less your fig leaf."
“Starting today, I propose to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to remove Lin Zhengguo from his position as a director, on the grounds that he manipulated the company, shielded criminals, and harmed the company’s interests.”
boom--
The whole place was in an uproar!
Lin Zhengguo's face changed drastically: "Are you crazy! I am the founder of the Lin family, what right do you have to dismiss me?!"
Lin Chuyue turned her head and looked towards the door.
Two lawyers holding notarized certificates entered the conference room.
"I am the legal representative left by Lin's mother to Chuyue."
"According to the equity transfer agreement, Chu Yue owns all the shares held by her mother. With the transfer of shares by former director Zhao Yingshan upon his departure, she now owns more than half of the shares."
"She has every right to request the removal of the director."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned ashen in an instant.
This was the first time he realized that Lin Chuyue was no longer the "chairman's daughter" who stood in the corner of the conference room, enduring ridicule and sarcasm.
She is the queen, the master, and the hunter.
……
After the meeting concluded that day, the Lin family's fortunes began to rise again.
Lin Zhengguo strongly objected and stated that he would appeal.
Lin Chuyue did not confront him further, but instead silently said to Tang Nian:
Give him three days.
"If he is still unwilling to abdicate in three days, then let 'that letter' see the light of day."
Tang Nian felt a chill run down her spine, knowing that she was referring to the "threatening letter" left by Shen Fang.
If that letter is made public, not only Lin Zhengguo, but the entire Lin family will lose face.
……
at night.
When Gu Yanchuan received news of Lin Chuyue's "last-ditch counterattack" at the board meeting, he simply smiled.
"She finally moved."
"Then, we should prepare for the 'final blow'."
Behind him, a middle-aged man slowly walked over and handed him a document.
“Jiang Han has turned back. He handed over Shen Fang’s ‘inheritance money laundering ledger’ to us.”
Gu Yanchuan raised his eyes, his gaze as deep as the ocean.
"Very good. Next time, it will be Lin Chuyue's real test."
