Chapter 663 The Fuse of Fate
The lights in the ISA boardroom were cold and sharp, making people tense.
Lin Chuyue stood at the head of the table, the emergency takeover agreement prominently displayed in her hand. More than a dozen shareholders sat beside her, some with solemn expressions, some with shifty eyes, and others exchanging glances discreetly.
At this moment, she was no longer the sheltered girl sent by her father for "training," but someone truly standing at the heart of the storm of power.
"ISA's existing core asset structure, overseas trust funds, and risk hedging segment—I have already obtained the audit reports." Lin Chuyue's tone was calm but full of pressure. "If any abnormalities in the funds are found within 48 hours, all related parties will face judicial freezing."
A middle-aged shareholder immediately stood up: "Mr. Lin, isn't your approach a bit too hasty? ISA has been operating for many years and has never experienced a major loss—"
“Therefore, we cannot continue to be paralyzed by the illusion of ‘superficial profits’.” Lin Chuyue interrupted him, clear and calm. “Your panic only makes me more certain that the problem already exists.”
The air pressure in the conference room dropped sharply.
These words were tantamount to giving the ISA board of directors a full-body CT scan, instantly revealing who had problems and who was guilty.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Shen Yi appeared.
Wearing a well-tailored gray trench coat, her eyebrows and eyes remained gentle, but there was an unprecedented sharpness hidden in her eyes.
She slowly walked into the conference room, her gaze sweeping over Lin Chuyue and the directors present, finally settling on Lin Chuyue.
"The meeting continues," she said calmly.
Everyone was stunned. Gu Yanchuan was not there, and Shen Yanli did not speak. She actually unilaterally expressed her support for Lin Chuyue to lead the retrial of ISA.
Lin Chuyue looked at her without saying a word.
The air between the two seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Shen Yi spoke first, her voice steady: "If there are no problems with ISA's management, there is no need to fear any re-examination."
Her statement was tantamount to withdrawing herself from Shen Yanli's camp and standing on Lin Chuyue's side.
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Aren't you afraid of becoming the second 'Shen Fang'?"
Shen Yi gave an almost mocking smile: "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of being just a puppet forever."
She then changed the subject: "Shen Yanli has been setting up this scheme for years; someone should have retaliated long ago."
These words shocked the entire audience.
One of the previously silent senior directors asked in a low voice, "You mean... ISA's current asset distribution is being manipulated?"
Lin Chuyue projected a document onto the conference screen: "Of the three overseas funds under ISA, two have engaged in high-frequency trading with 'LND hedge fund' multiple times over the past seven years. And LND is a company actually controlled by Shen Yanli."
"This game began after Shen Fang's death."
A young director exclaimed, "So the Shen family has been draining ISA all along?"
Lin Chuyue nodded calmly.
“I will not let this continue to happen.”
Her finger landed on another transfer order document: "From today onwards, all overseas affairs under ISA will be uniformly managed by the 'Temporary Asset Supervision Group' I have established. They will have full authority to review and freeze assets if necessary."
One board member protested: "President Lin, this constitutes an emergency takeover, which could potentially cause turmoil in the external markets—"
"It's better to be shaken up than to be hollowed out."
The voice wasn't Lin Chuyue's, but—
Gu Yanchuan.
He finally appeared, dressed in a suit, with a cold expression.
"If ISA is to continue to live, it must shed its skin and be cleansed anew."
He walked to Lin Chuyue's side and, without hesitation, stood openly by her side for the first time.
This is exactly the situation that Shen Yanli was most worried about.
—ISA's top management has fully shifted their focus to Lin Chuyue.
?
Meanwhile, in another secret room.
Shen Yanli stared intently at the surveillance footage before him, his face expressionless.
Behind him, a secretary urgently reported: "Three shareholders of ISA have clearly switched their allegiance to Lin Chuyue. Add to that Shen Yi and Gu Yanchuan—we have lost the majority support of the board of directors."
Shen Yanli narrowed his eyes slightly: "Shen Yi actually betrayed me too."
"Lin Chuyue has your and her mother's information and recordings. Perhaps she has already grasped Shen Yi's weakness."
Shen Yanli was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Let her come back on her own."
"She's not coming back."
The person speaking was another figure who slowly walked in—
It was Shen Yun.
At this moment, Shen Yun had already shed her disguise as the second young lady of the Lin family, dressed in black with a cold gaze.
“I told you long ago, Shen Yi wouldn’t take a bullet for you.” She slowly walked towards Shen Yanli. “You’ve been plotting for thirty years, and you’ve lost to someone who’s only been awake to the truth for a year.”
“She’s not an ordinary person.” Shen Yanli said in a low voice, “She is Shen Fang’s daughter, and she is the variable I can’t afford to keep.”
Shen Yun raised her chin and sneered, "So what do you plan to do? Kill her? The entire ISA and the ISA International Court are watching her now. If anything happens to her, your entire financial empire will collapse instantly."
Shen Yanli finally lost his temper and slammed his fist on the table, shouting, "She must die! If she doesn't die now, we'll never get rid of her!"
“You’re insane.” Shen Yun’s eyes were sharp. “If you lay a finger on her again, not only ISA, but the media all over the world will expose your past—do you think she has nothing? She has far more cards to play than you do.”
"And what about you?" Shen Yanli suddenly looked at Shen Yun. "Don't you hate her? Don't you want her dead?"
Shen Yun's eyes suddenly darkened, but she sneered: "I once wanted her dead, but now... I want her to win even more."
Shen Yanli's pupils shrank sharply: "You betrayed me?"
Shen Yun slowly turned around, not looking at him: "I'm just tired of living forever in the hatred you've woven."
?
ISA held its second closed-door board meeting that evening.
Facing the crowd, Lin Chuyue announced the list of members of the ISA "Transition Committee," with Shen Yi appointed as vice chairman and Gu Yanchuan as the public relations coordinator. At the same time, she announced ISA's strategic direction for the next two years—a complete divestment of unexplained overseas assets and a transformation towards artificial intelligence-based healthcare, new energy trading, and green credit.
"We need to become a real, living financial beast, not an antique lying in the ancestral temple."
No one in the room objected.
Shen Yi's gaze held a hint of complexity.
She finally understood that Lin Chuyue hadn't climbed to where she was today solely because of Li Zhanchuan and Gu Yanchuan, but was someone who truly possessed independent ruthlessness.
“You’re already like her,” Shen Yi whispered to her after the meeting.
"Who?"
"Shen Fang".
Lin Chuyue did not respond, but simply turned her head slightly to look at the constantly flashing financial building complex outside the ISA headquarters.
The storm has just begun.
?
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan was sitting on the top floor of another building.
A new document has been delivered to his desk.
Shen Yanli secretly plotted to withdraw from ISA and transfer it to the offshore entity "HY-Structures," and held a private meeting a week later with the intention of establishing a new financial network center.
He gave a cold laugh: "Finally, they've shown their true colors."
The phone rang; it was Lin Chuyue.
“I’m going to San Francisco next,” she said calmly.
"There is one last landmine planted by Shen Yanli in ISA's overseas structure."
Li Zhanchuan said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."
“This time it’s not just you accompanying me,” Lin Chuyue smiled. “It’s us working together to truly take ISA back.”
?
A storm swept in, and the game of chess was in full swing.
Everyone is brandishing their swords in defense of their beliefs.
Lin Chuyue's counterattack has only just begun.
