Chapter 407 The Crisis of Truth and Falsehood
The villa was dimly lit late at night, yet the tense atmosphere in the air was hard to conceal.
Lin Chuyue sat on the sofa, holding a cup of warm black tea in her hand, her expression calm to the point of being almost ruthless.
Lin Zhengguo sat opposite her. Although he had been rescued, he still looked somewhat haggard, and his eyes held a complex emotion that was hard to conceal.
“Chuyue…” he began in a deep voice, as if he wanted to explain something.
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes, her gaze calm as still water: "You should be glad that I went to save you this time, not because you are my father, but because I can't let Lin Yun continue to cause trouble."
Lin Zhengguo's expression changed slightly, his lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing more.
This incident completely shattered his last shred of dignity.
Lin Chuyue didn't look at him again. She slowly stood up and put down her teacup: "From now on, you are you, and I am me. Don't expect me to make any sacrifices for you anymore."
Her words were cold and resolute, and Lin Zhengguo's body trembled slightly.
However, this time he neither argued nor tried to persuade him to stay.
Lin Chuyue stepped out of the living room, the night wind brushing against her face, carrying a slight chill.
She knew that although she had won this round, the undercurrents behind it had not disappeared.
Lin Yun's defeat is merely a facade.
The real mastermind behind this may have only just begun to bare its fangs.

Undercurrent
The next morning, Lin Chuyue had just gotten out of bed when her phone vibrated.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was a call from the police.
"Ms. Lin, we need you to come to the police station."
The other person's tone left no room for argument, and Lin Chuyue frowned: "What happened?"
“Last night, we were supposed to take Lin Yun to the detention center, but she was attacked and went missing on the way.”
Lin Chuyue's pupils contracted slightly.
Lin Yun has disappeared?!
How is that possible? She clearly arranged for people to monitor the entire time. Who could possibly kidnap someone right under the police's nose?!
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes and gripped her phone tightly: "I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, she immediately dialed Li Zhanchuan's number.
"Lin Yun is missing?" The man's deep voice carried a hint of coldness.
"Yes," Lin Chuyue said calmly. "The police want me to come over."
"I'll accompany you."
In less than half an hour, Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan arrived at the police station.
Inside the police station, the officer in charge of the case looked grim and got straight to the point: "Last night, while escorting Lin Yun, our convoy was attacked by an unknown force. Four officers were injured, and Lin Yun was taken away."
"Who is the other party?" Li Zhanchuan asked in a cold voice.
The officer shook his head: "They are well-trained; they are not an ordinary force."
Lin Chuyue's eyes turned slightly cold. The fact that she could take action while being escorted by the police meant that Lin Yun could not have arranged it.
There must be an even stronger force manipulating things behind the scenes.
"Have you found out where she might be hiding?" Lin Chuyue asked.
The officer sighed: "We're investigating, but..."
He paused, his tone grave: "Before the convoy was attacked, Lin Yun received an encrypted message."
As he spoke, he placed a photograph on the table.
The photo shows a seemingly random string of characters:
【LX-3218-w】
Lin Chuyue's eyes narrowed. She had seen this string of characters before in a confidential document from the Lin family!
She slowly raised her eyes, her tone resolute: "This is an internal project number."
The officer's eyes widened: "Are you sure?"
Lin Chuyue nodded, instantly making a judgment in her mind—
Someone is exploiting the Lin family's internal resources!
The mastermind behind this is very likely in the Lin Group!
-
The mastermind behind it all has emerged.
After leaving the police station, Lin Chuyue and Li Zhanchuan went straight back to the company.
She immediately ordered people to retrieve Lin's confidential project data from recent years, focusing on screening the parts involving "LX-3218-w".
A few hours later, the assistant walked in with a thick document, looking serious: "Mr. Lin, we've found it."
Lin Chuyue took the document and quickly scanned its contents—
[LX-3218-w: Special investment fund involving multiple overseas accounts; fund flows are unclear.]
Her gaze darkened. This fund was still operating even after Shen Fang's death!
In other words, Shen Fang's death did not truly end the corruption problem within the Lin family!
Li Zhanchuan stood beside her, his gaze fixed on the documents, his voice low and deep: "These funds are very likely the mastermind behind Lin Yun's escape."
“That’s right.” Lin Chuyue closed the file, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
She looked up at her assistant, her tone icy: "Starting today, thoroughly investigate all related accounts and find out who is controlling the funds!"
The assistant nodded solemnly: "Yes!"
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath and calmly analyzed: "Lin Yun's disappearance is not accidental. There must be someone behind her who wants to support her."
Li Zhanchuan's eyes were deep and his tone was steady: "The person behind the scenes not only wants to save Lin Yun, but may also want to use her to stir up trouble in the Lin family again."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "But this time, I will not let them succeed again."

死亡威胁
That evening, Lin Chuyue was organizing documents in her office when she suddenly received an anonymous text message on her phone—
It's a miracle you're still alive.
The text message was unsigned, but the words conveyed an undisguised murderous intent.
Lin Chuyue sneered. She had initially thought Lin Yun's disappearance was merely an "escape," but now it seemed—
This is a much bigger trap.
She is the next target.
She picked up her phone and dialed Li Zhanchuan's number: "I received a threatening text message."
"I'm coming right away." Li Zhanchuan's voice was low, with a hint of anger in it.
Less than ten minutes later, he appeared in the office, staring coldly at the text message: "It seems the other party is in a greater hurry than we thought."
"Yes," Lin Chuyue said softly, "They not only want the Lin family, but they also want my life."
Li Zhanchuan's fingers slowly tightened, his voice steady yet dangerous: "No one can touch you."
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes to meet his gaze, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Then let's see what tricks they can come up with."
