Chapter 550 Crack Regeneration
As Lin Chuyue walked out of the conference hall, sunlight streamed down her body, yet she felt an even heavier weight on her shoulders. She had won this boardroom battle, but felt no relief. Gu Yanchuan remained silent behind her, following her all the way back to the president's office.

I. Gu Yanchuan's Questioning
As soon as the office door closed, Gu Yanchuan's expression turned cold: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that Shen Yan would be coming back?"
Lin Chuyue raised an eyebrow at him, her tone calm: "Didn't you already know that he had been investigating CR?"
“I knew he was investigating, but I didn’t know he already had so much solid evidence.” Gu Yanchuan stared at her, his eyes sharp. “You’re gambling—gambling that I will definitely stand by your side, no matter what you’re hiding.”
Lin Chuyue slowly sat down and said calmly, "You're right, I'm gambling. But I'm not gambling that you'll believe me, I'm gambling that you won't just stand by and watch Lin Yun and CR join forces to swallow up the Lin Group."
She looked at him, her gaze no longer soft, but filled with calm and resolute determination: "You're right, we don't completely trust each other. But we can't live without each other, that's a fact."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes darkened; he knew it was true. But hearing her speak so rationally, his heart felt like it was being cut by a dull knife.
"So I'm just a pawn?" he suddenly asked.
Lin Chuyue was silent for two seconds: "Not a pawn, but an ally."
But these words did not put Gu Yanchuan at ease. He stared at her for a long time, and finally sneered: "An ally? Lin Chuyue, you never trust anyone. You don't even completely trust me."

II. Shen Yan's instigation
Meanwhile, Shen Yan stood on the rooftop terrace, overlooking the entire Lin's Building. He knew that this game had just begun.
Lin Yun's downfall is only temporary; the person behind Cheng Yi Fund has yet to be revealed. CR certainly won't let this go easily.
Tang Nianyuan has disappeared, but his access within CR has not been completely revoked. Some data is still being secretly copied and deleted.
Lin Chuyue believed herself, but Gu Yanchuan remained hesitant. Shen Yan knew this was the opening he could make. He needed a deeper connection—ideally, one that would truly allow Lin Chuyue to lower her guard against him.
So, that evening he invited Lin Chuyue to dinner.
"Everyone around you is plotting against you." Shen Yan raised his glass, his tone meaningful. "But I won't. I won't stand opposite you anymore, nor will I leave."
Lin Chuyue lowered her head and remained silent, slowly drinking the wine in her glass in one gulp.

III. Lin Yun's Frenzied Counterattack
At the same time, Lin Yun did not give up as everyone expected.
She sat alone in the villa's study, looking at an encrypted document on her phone, a sinister smile playing on her lips.
"You think I've lost?" She dialed a number: "Activate the batch of documents Shen Fang left behind."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone: "Are you sure you want to use it now?"
Lin Yun's voice was cold and sharp: "Of course, Lin Chuyue is currently the most popular. If we don't bring her down from her pedestal, she will always be the heir of the Lin family."
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood, 'Plan F' is activated."
Her gaze fell on the old photograph on the wall—the father of Shen Fang, Lin Zhengguo, and Gu Yanchuan. That unpublished history was about to become another storm that would ignite the Lin family.

IV. Lin Zhengguo on the verge of collapse
Lin Zhengguo has not appeared at the board meeting or returned to his old house in the past few days. He was drinking alone in a bar, looking exhausted.
The phone screen lit up with a message from Lin Yun: "Dad, I'm not the kind of 'destroyer' you're talking about. I just want to take back what's mine."
Lin Zhengguo gripped the wine glass tightly, his fingers trembling.
He had thought Lin Chuyue would be dragged down by Lin Yun, but instead, she suffered a complete defeat. Now he was caught in the middle, distrusted by the board of directors and ignored by both his daughters.
"I should have known... Shen Fang's move was my biggest mistake." He murmured, as if talking to himself, or as if confessing to someone.

V. Foreshadowing Reappears: Information on the Missing Mother of Gu
When Gu Yanchuan returned to his apartment and opened an old photo album left by his mother, he suddenly noticed a line of handwritten words on the back of a yellowed photograph:
“In the winter of 1998, CR held a secret meeting to plan the launch of the ‘Snow Fox Project’ – a record.”
He frowned and dialed his assistant's number: "Find all the information about my mother's whereabouts in the last three months before she passed away. Including all the projects she was involved in, especially those related to CR."
The assistant hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Gu, this might involve the accident that happened to your mother back then—"
“I know,” he said in a low voice. “Perhaps her death was not an accident.”

End of this chapter:
Holding the old photograph, Gu Yanchuan's face was colder than ever before. He finally realized that all of this was far more complicated than power and money; the seeds of Shen Fang, Lin Zhengguo, the Gu family's past, and CR's secrets had been sown more than a decade ago.
Lin Chuyue was merely the "key" chosen by fate.
