Chapter 128 Shenghua Hotel
The bustling streets were brightly lit and teeming with traffic at night. Lin Chuyue emerged from the restaurant, a night breeze brushing her face. She tilted her head slightly and took a deep breath. Although Li Zhanchuan's words weren't explicitly stated, his concern warmed her heart, but also brought a touch of wariness.
As she got into the car and started the engine, her phone screen lit up. It was a message from Gu Yanchuan: "Found something interesting, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly as she looked at the message. Gu Yanchuan's comment about "interesting things" was most likely about Shen Fang. But before she could reply, another text message from an unknown number popped up: "President Lin, if you don't want your secret to be exposed, come to room 402 of the Shenghua Hotel alone tomorrow night at 8 PM."
She stared at the text message, her eyes turning icy cold in an instant. Shen Fang? Or someone else? Whoever it was, it was clearly bait, but she couldn't refuse.
The following morning, in Gu Yanchuan's office, sunlight streamed through the blinds, illuminating the stacks of documents on his desk, suggesting a flurry of activity. Lin Chuyue entered, her footsteps light yet carrying a sense of pressure.
"What is this interesting thing you mentioned?" Lin Chuyue asked directly, sitting down opposite him.
Gu Yanchuan looked up and handed her a document: "This is the latest internal audit result from the finance department. Shen Fang has secretly misappropriated several funds over the past few months. Although she concealed it well, some traces still left their mark."
Lin Chuyue opened the document, her eyes gradually sharpening. She quickly scanned the series of numbers and notes, and said coldly, "She's incredibly audacious. Where did these funds go?"
“I checked, and the legal representative behind this shell company called ‘Qixin Commerce’ is Wang Peng,” Gu Yanchuan said, emphasizing each word.
Lin Chuyue suddenly looked up, her tone tinged with anger: "Wang Peng? Shen Fang's confidant?"
Gu Yanchuan nodded, his tone calm yet sharp: "What's even more interesting is that the company's accounts are very chaotic, and some of the funds seem to have been transferred to overseas accounts."
Lin Chuyue closed the file, her gaze sharp: "She's preparing for her own future."
Gu Yanchuan leaned back in his chair and chuckled softly: "The question is, why is she in such a hurry to do these things now? She seems to know that she can't hold on much longer."
Lin Chuyue gripped the document in her hand, her voice low: "Because I'm investigating her, she may have already sensed the crisis."
That evening, Lin Chuyue arrived at room 402 of the Shenghua Hotel as promised. The corridor was dimly lit, but an unsettling stillness permeated the air.
She knocked on the door, and after a moment the door opened, revealing a strange man in the doorway. He was tall, with a cold and stern face, and his sharp gaze swept over her.
"Mr. Lin, please come in." The man's tone was calm, yet carried an air of undeniable authority.
Lin Chuyue did not back down and stepped into the room. The room was dimly lit, with only a wall lamp emitting a soft glow. On the table was a laptop, with a document on the screen, the title of which read: "Report on the Flow of Assets of Lin Group Board Members".
The man closed the door, stood in front of her, and said coldly, "President Lin, these documents must be very important to you, right?"
Lin Chuyue looked at the screen, her expression unchanged, and asked in return, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The man smiled slightly, his tone casual: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that what I have can help you, or it can destroy you."
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Threatening me? You've probably chosen the wrong person."
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the screen with his finger: "President Lin, I know you're investigating Shen Fang, and I happen to have some evidence against her. If you want to cooperate, I can give you this document. If you don't want to cooperate..." He paused deliberately, "...I will hand these things over to her."
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, quickly analyzing the situation in her mind. The man in front of her was clearly acting under someone's orders, but his stance seemed somewhat ambiguous.
"Why should I help you?" she asked coldly, but her words were carefully calculated.
The man smiled and said, "Help you? No, I'm helping myself. Whoever wins or loses in your struggle with Shen Fang, it will benefit me. But I'm more inclined to side with you because she's too reckless."
Lin Chuyue stared at him, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Conditions?"
"These documents are in exchange for a promise from you." The man took a step closer and whispered, "After you win over Shen Fang, I hope you can let me go."
Lin Chuyue pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You really think I'd believe you?"
The man's smile faltered for a moment, then he shrugged: "Mr. Lin is indeed cautious. However, keeping this information will give you a greater chance of winning, won't it?"
Lin Chuyue was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "I will accept the information, but your promise depends on your performance in the future."
