Chapter 413 Let's stop here
After the shareholders' meeting, Lin Chuyue sat in her office, looking at the night view outside the window, her brows slightly furrowed.
She knew this was just the beginning.
She successfully averted the acquisition crisis of Hengyue Capital, but the forces behind it will not let the matter rest. Although Shen Fang is dead, the game she left behind has not ended, and there may even be deeper plans waiting for her.
“They won’t stop here.” Gu Yanchuan walked into the office and placed a document on the table. “Zhuang Qiming is just an executor; there are people behind him.”
Lin Chuyue took the document, opened it, and saw that it contained Hengyue Capital's recent investment trends and some secret transaction records.
“They’ve recently been secretly supporting a startup called ‘Ruicheng Technology,’ which mainly focuses on artificial intelligence and big data,” Gu Yanchuan said in a low voice. “And this company has recently been in contact with some senior executives of the Lin Group.”
Lin Chuyue's gaze sharpened slightly, and she tapped her fingers lightly on the table.
“They want to dismantle the Lin family from within,” she sneered.
“Yes.” Gu Yanchuan nodded. “This is more dangerous than a capital acquisition. If they succeed, even if the Lin Group is not controlled by them, they will lose control.”
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment, then her gaze sharpened: "We must strike first."

Early signs of crisis: Internal turmoil within the Lin family
The next day, Lin Chuyue convened a high-level meeting, requesting each department to submit recent business reports.
The atmosphere inside the meeting room was somber.
"Chairman Lin, our recent market expansion has been hampered," the marketing director said, frowning. "Ruicheng Technology is trying to poach our clients."
“Yes,” the CFO chimed in, “their terms for cooperation are extremely attractive, and many clients are already wavering.”
Lin Chuyue's gaze turned icy: "So, is there someone within our ranks secretly cooperating with us?"
The meeting room fell silent instantly, and subtle expressions appeared on the faces of several executives.
“There is no conclusive evidence yet…” a vice president said hesitantly.
"Then go investigate." Lin Chuyue's tone left no room for argument.
“But if this investigation continues, it may cause unease within the company…” the HR director tentatively began.
Lin Chuyue sneered: "If a company has been infiltrated without realizing it, that would be a real upheaval."
She looked around at everyone and said firmly, "If anyone wants to betray the Lin family at this time, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

Undercurrents: Ruicheng Technology's Scheme
Meanwhile, in a conference room at Ruicheng Technology, Zhuang Qiming sat at a table with a gloomy expression.
“Lin Chuyue is too vigilant; our people planted inside haven’t been able to act for a long time,” he said.
A middle-aged man sat opposite me, his gaze indifferent: "There's no need for us to rush things."
Zhuang Qiming frowned: "Not in a hurry?"
“Of course.” A smile played on the man’s lips. “Since we’ve lost the capital battle, we’ll let her try something else.”
"What do you mean?"
The man smiled slightly and handed over a document.
Zhuang Qiming took a look, and his eyes narrowed sharply: "Her younger brother?"
“Yes, the nominal ‘young master’ of the Lin family,” the man said calmly. “He is Lin Chuyue’s weakness.”
Zhuang Qiming pondered for a moment, then a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Interesting..."

Threat Escalates: Lin Chuyue's Achilles' Heel
When Lin Chuyue returned home, she had just stepped into the living room when she saw Lin Zhengrong—her half-brother—on the sofa.
"Sister, you're back?" Lin Zhengrong stood up somewhat awkwardly.
"Why did you suddenly come to see me?" Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow.
"I..." Lin Zhengrong hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered, "I want to borrow some money from you."
Lin Chuyue's eyes darkened slightly: "How much?"
"...five million."
"use?"
Lin Zhengrong's hand tightened, and he stammered, "A friend of mine lost money in an investment and is being harassed by creditors. If he doesn't pay back the money, something bad might happen..."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes and stared at him without saying a word.
Lin Zhengrong felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and lowered his head.
After a long pause, Lin Chuyue finally spoke: "Your friend works for Ruicheng Technology?"
Lin Zhengrong looked up abruptly, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes: "How did you know?"
Lin Chuyue sneered: "As expected."
She slowly stood up and walked up to Lin Zhengrong: "Tell me, who exactly is your friend?"
Lin Zhengrong bit her lip, seemingly struggling, but finally said, "His name is Wei Hao, and he is a project manager at Ruicheng Technology."
Lin Chuyue scoffed: "Wei Hao? He's not just an ordinary project manager, he's Zhuang Qiming's confidant."
Lin Zhengrong's expression changed: "Sister, what do you mean?"
"You've been deceived," Lin Chuyue said coldly. "They're using you to try and make me compromise."
Lin Zhengrong panicked immediately: "Impossible! Wei Hao wouldn't lie to me!"
"Are you sure?" Lin Chuyue looked at him coldly.
Lin Zhengrong opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Since you don't believe me, just wait and see." Lin Chuyue's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable coldness.

Direct confrontation: Lin Chuyue's counterattack
The next day, Lin Chuyue secretly had someone investigate Wei Hao's background.
The results came out quickly: Wei Hao was not only Zhuang Qiming's man, but had also been involved in many illegal fundraising cases!
On this day, Lin Chuyue personally arranged to meet Wei Hao.
"Chairman Lin, I've long admired your name." Wei Hao smiled confidently, as if victory was assured.
Lin Chuyue looked at him calmly: "Mr. Wei, I heard you've encountered some trouble recently?"
Wei Hao was slightly taken aback, but quickly regained his smile: "It's just a few minor issues, nothing to mention."
"Is that so?" Lin Chuyue tossed a document onto the table. "The evidence against you for your illegal fundraising is enough to send you to jail."
Wei Hao's expression changed drastically: "You—"
“If you don’t want to go in yet, tell me Zhuang Qiming’s plan,” Lin Chuyue said coldly.
Wei Hao's fingers trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Finally, he whispered, "They...are planning to stage a car accident."
Lin Chuyue's gaze suddenly sharpened: "Who is the target?"
Wei Hao's lips trembled slightly: "...Your brother."
Lin Chuyue's heart sank suddenly.
“Their target is you,” Wei Hao said in a low voice, “but they know you won’t be easily fooled, so… they’ve decided to target your weakness.”
Lin Chuyue slowly clenched her fist, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
She will never allow anyone to threaten her family!
