Chapter 279 Tooth for Tooth
As night fell, Gu Yanchuan sat at his large desk, his gaze sweeping over the investigation data sent by Lin Chuyue.
His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, his eyes growing increasingly dark.
Shen Fang, as expected, is up to her old tricks again.
What surprised him even more was that she had actually gotten involved with that capitalist family—if Shen Fang was just a desperate, ruthless businesswoman, then that family was a truly cunning old fox with powerful connections.
It seems that this opponent is more formidable than expected.
"Mr. Gu," the assistant said, entering the room with a cautious tone, "we have gathered enough evidence. Don't you think it's time to retaliate?"
Gu Yanchuan raised his eyes, his gaze icy: "No rush."
The assistant was slightly taken aback: "Not in a hurry?"
Gu Yanchuan's lips curled into a faint, cold smile: "Wouldn't it be too easy on her to retaliate now?"
His long, slender fingers lightly flipped through the documents, his voice low and dangerous: "Since she wants to use public opinion against me, then let's show her what a real information war is like."
The assistant immediately understood what he meant and nodded, saying, "I understand, I'll arrange it right away."
Since Shen Fang wants the capital market to shake his resolve, then he will make the capital market completely abandon Shen Fang!
Lin Chuyue's Chess Game
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyue was leisurely sipping red wine in her apartment, enjoying the media storm outside.
Her phone vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen—
“Shen Fang’s allies have begun to withdraw their investment.”
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly. Sure enough, Gu Yanchuan acted quickly.
She put down her wine glass and dialed a number: "Next, I'll send Shen Fang a big gift."
The person on the other end of the phone chuckled softly: "Ms. Lin, how do you want her to break down?"
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Chuyue's eyes: "Let what she is most proud of become the last straw that breaks her back."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a laugh followed by, "Understood."
Lin Chuyue hung up the phone, gently stroked the rim of her glass, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Shen Fang, your good days are coming to an end.
Shen Fang's crisis
The next morning, as soon as Shen Fang arrived at the company, she noticed something was wrong.
Her assistant rushed in, pale-faced: "President Shen, something terrible has happened! Several investors have suddenly withdrawn their funding, saying they've lost faith in us!"
Shen Fang's expression changed drastically: "What?!"
She quickly opened the stock market information, and upon looking at it, her pupils suddenly contracted—
Her company's stock price is plummeting!
"What's going on?!" She jumped to her feet, her voice sharp and angry. "Who's behind this?!"
The assistant, sweating and trembling, said, "Gu Yanchuan... he released information saying that you've recently been in contact with unstable capital, and... several financial media outlets suddenly exposed some old accounts that are unfavorable to you..."
Shen Fang's breath caught in her throat, and her face turned deathly pale.
Her dark past... has been dug up?!
This is impossible!
Her fingers trembled as she opened the news app, only to see reports from major financial media outlets—
"Shen Fang's inside story of capital manipulation exposed; years of business tactics trigger a crisis of market trust!"
"The involvement of senior executives of the Shen Group in multiple business disputes has shaken investors' confidence!"
"Shen Fang's past capital operation methods may have led the company into long-term risks!"
Each report pierced Shen Fang's heart!
Her face turned deathly pale, and she slumped into a chair, her fingertips trembling as she gripped her phone tightly.
No... this is definitely not a coincidence!
Someone is... meticulously plotting against her!
A name suddenly flashed through Shen Fang's mind—Lin Chuyue!
Her eyes burned with overwhelming hatred, her nails digging deep into her palms, almost piercing her own flesh!
Lin Chuyue... how dare you scheme against me?!
Her breathing was rapid, her chest heaving violently, and she suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with extreme malice.
"Investigate!" she roared through gritted teeth. "I need to know who's behind this!"
The assistant nodded hurriedly and quickly went to make arrangements.
However, at that moment, Shen Fang's phone rang.
She pressed the answer button, and a deep, cold voice came from the other end of the line—
"Shen Fang, the game is over."
Shen Fang's pupils contracted, and she gripped her phone tightly: "Gu Yanchuan?!"
Gu Yanchuan's tone on the other end of the phone was extremely cold: "Do you think you can make me lose my foothold by waging a war of words?"
He scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm: "Too naive."
Shen Fang's fingers trembled as she gritted her teeth and said, "Gu Yanchuan! Don't be so smug—"
"Smug?" Gu Yanchuan sneered, interrupting her. "You probably don't know yet, but what awaits you next is something even more deadly."
Shen Fang's heart sank: "What do you mean?!"
Gu Yanchuan said calmly, "Take a look at your company account."
A strong sense of unease welled up in Shen Fang's heart. She immediately opened the company's financial system, and the moment she saw it, she jumped up from her chair—
Her company's accounts, its cash flow... have dried up!
All her working capital was drained overnight!
Her face turned deathly pale, her fingers trembled violently, and her lips shook: "No...it's impossible...how could this happen..."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yanchuan's voice was indifferent and cruel: "Shen Fang, this is the price you pay for provoking me."
The phone call ended, and Shen Fang's world completely collapsed.
Lin Chuyue's ending
Meanwhile, Lin Chuyue sat by the window, looking at the night outside, and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
She gently swirled her wine glass, her gaze revealing a hint of ease and indifference.
"Shen Fang, it's time for the curtain to fall."
The outcome of this battle was predetermined from the very beginning.
