Chapter 528 Bloodstained Revenge
Chapter 60: The Storm of Truth
The following morning, the Lin Group's headquarters conference room was already packed with executives, shareholder representatives, and media reporters. The air was thick with the lingering effects of the previous night's media frenzy—international financial headlines were almost entirely filled with headlines like "Lin Yun's Big Move," "New Evidence from Shuguang Trust," and "Family Feud Escalates."
At this moment, Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Tang Nian took the stage one after another, making brief opening remarks and announcing that they would spend three hours listening to Shen Yan hand over supplementary evidence of the "Dawn Fragment," which would then be released to regulatory agencies simultaneously. Just when everyone thought it was just a routine arrangement, the back door of the conference hall suddenly opened with a "bang"—Shen Yan led his assistant and two overseas consultants in, carrying a black briefcase on the table.
The entire room was stunned. Lin Yun's pupils constricted slightly, and Lin Zhengguo's face turned deathly pale; Gu Yanchuan, however, remained composed and stepped forward to meet him.
Shen Yan spread his arms, his voice quiet yet commanding: "Ladies and gentlemen, what I hold in my hands will determine the outcome of this morning's meeting. Please allow me to begin by reading aloud a will written by my mother to her three heirs before her death."
He took a stack of waxed paper from his briefcase, slowly pressed the branding seal onto the envelope, and opened it. The entire room fell silent; everyone held their breath to listen:
"Chuyue: You will support the family with your wisdom; Shenyan: You will protect kinship with your loyalty; Yun'er: Your passion will breathe new life into the Lin family. I am merging the 'Atlas' Foundation with the 'Shuangyue' estate to establish a tripartite trust. Any party that misappropriates funds will be betraying me in the end. —Mother Shen Fang, December 6, 2003"
As the terms of the merger between the "Frost Moon" Trust and the "Atlas" Fund were displayed one by one on the projector, Lin Yun's face turned ashen, and she retreated repeatedly. She had assumed that her customized back-end password would allow her to control all the funds, unaware that the true authority lay with the joint authorization of the three trusts—she had only been granted "sub-account" access and was strictly forbidden from using the main account.
Shen Yan continued, “Everyone, please look at the second document—my private lawyers in the UK, Hong Kong, and Qatar have submitted a package of all the invoices related to these three trusts. The evidence regarding the ‘Chuyue Misappropriation Trust’ in the forged documents Lin Yun uploaded last night was all taken out of context from the ‘Account Sharing’ system, attempting to cover up the truth of your and Xu Mingyuan’s secret manipulation.”
The hall erupted in commotion. Lin Yun's lips trembled, but she was pulled back by Director Sun of the Holding Department: "Ms. Lin Yun, perhaps you should give yourself a reasonable explanation first."
Lin Yun hesitated, then choked up, "That...that was just an account integration test, I...I had no ulterior motives!"
Shen Longyan sneered: "Even 'testing' requires currying favor with senior executives and tampering with logs behind the scenes. Your so-called enthusiasm is nothing but a conspiracy disguised as a flower."
At this moment, Gu Yanchuan stood up, walked to Lin Yun, and said in a cold but polite voice: "Yun'er, if you truly care about the family, I suggest you withdraw all your 'control' applications now and apologize to the board of directors; otherwise, this 'trust agreement' will become evidence of your crimes that you can never wash away."
Lin Yun choked up and turned to leave, but Lin Zhengguo grabbed her arm: "Yun'er, don't be so stubborn!"
The father and daughter faced off, an awkward and painful confrontation.
Shen Longyan scanned the room before slowly speaking: "Finally, please allow me to release the third document—Lin Zhengguo, the 'overseas investment fund' you approved in 2004 has actually been used to settle the inheritance distribution of Gu Jia's mother in the 'Atlas' account, which is completely inconsistent with the purpose you previously claimed. In other words, you have already violated your mother's will and misappropriated the trust funds."
Lin Zhengguo's face turned deathly pale, and he stammered, "I...I just wanted to deal with the market..."
"The market?" Shen Yan sneered. "Your so-called 'market' is nothing but your selfish haven! Since you don't honor your mother's last wish, then bear the legal responsibility you deserve."
The entire room fell silent. Lin Chuyue stood beside the projector, looking at her father, saying nothing. Behind her, applause and sighs mingled, applauding her silence and Shen Longyan's righteousness.
Suddenly, the back door of the conference hall was pushed open again, and Lin Yun's bodyguard rushed in, holding an urgent document: "This is the 'Cheng Yi Fund' contract that Lin Yun urgently supplemented—she requested that it be signed that day to directly transfer 30 percent of the remaining funds under the trust to an overseas company under her control."
Gu Yanchuan grabbed the contract and pointed to a line of small print: "The registered address of this company is exactly the same as Lin Yun's private assets in Singapore."
Lin Yun's face immediately turned ashen, her eyes blurry with tears: "I...I just wanted to save my life!"
"Save your life?" Shen Longyan slowly walked up to her, his voice cold: "If you truly cared about your family and mother, you shouldn't have done something so selfish!"
Lin Zhengguo could no longer hold on and slumped into a chair, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Tang Nian stepped forward and handed him a glass of mineral water, but her expression was also grave.
Lin Chuyue then spoke, her voice soft yet piercing to the core of everyone's hearts: "From today onward, all power held by the group's senior management must be re-examined. The mistakes of the older generation must be borne by the new generation; the blood debts of the past can only be addressed together before dawn breaks. As for betrayal, embezzlement, personal gain, and conspiracies... I will expose them all to the public and let the law and the market decide."
She paused, then turned to face Shen Longyan: "Longyan, thank you for coming back. No matter how bloody this struggle is, we must let the truth pierce through the darkness."
Shen Yan nodded slightly, his gaze firm: "As long as you give the order, I will continue to provide all support."
?
end:
The pre-dawn meeting ended in gasps and breathlessness. Reporters swarmed out, cameras capturing this unprecedented drama of family and capital.
Lin Chuyue remained alone in the empty conference hall, gazing at the rising dawn through the floor-to-ceiling windows. She knew that this victory was only the beginning; the true purification and rebirth had just begun.
A gentle breeze caressed her face, and mist swirled around her. She clenched her fists, silently reciting a phrase in her heart, for herself and for her mother:
"Dawn will eventually break."
