Chapter 276 Who to Protect
As night fell, the city's neon lights illuminated the bustling streets, but inside Shen Fang's private villa, the atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.
Shen Fang angrily slammed the wine glass on the table to the ground, shards of glass flying everywhere, the bright red liquid spilling all over the carpet, like a failed blood sacrifice.
"Lin Chuyue! Gu Yanchuan!" She gritted her teeth, her eyes so sinister they seemed to bleed.
She had never been so angry, nor had she ever felt the shame of defeat so deeply. She had thought this capital acquisition was a foolproof plan, enough to bring down the Gu family and ruin Lin Chuyue. But she never expected that she would not only lose, but lose so utterly!
What she found even more unacceptable was that her meticulously planned capital attack was countered by Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan, ultimately causing problems with her cash flow and leading the conglomerate behind her to question her abilities.
Sitting opposite her was the capital representative who had been secretly supporting her all along, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit, his eyes as cold as ice.
“Miss Shen, you have disappointed me greatly.” The man’s tone was indifferent. “Not only has this plan failed, but we have also lost a lot of money.”
Shen Fang took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down. She knew how terrifying this man was, and the conglomerate behind him was not one she could easily offend.
“It was just a mistake,” she said through gritted teeth, “but it doesn’t mean failure.”
The man sneered, "Oh? So how do you plan to win me back?"
A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Shen Fang's eyes as she whispered, "If capital can't solve the problem, then let's try another way..."
She paused, then lowered her voice and said, "I have other cards to play. As long as I can find the right opportunity... Lin Chuyue can't stay in the limelight forever!"
The man gave her a deep look, as if assessing her credibility. After a moment, he slowly nodded: "I hope your next plan won't disappoint me again."
After saying that, he got up and left, leaving Shen Fang alone in the messy room, her eyes as sinister as a snake.
"Lin Chuyue, do you think you can have the last laugh just because you won once?" She gritted her teeth, a cold smile slowly creeping onto her lips. "You're too naive..."
Gu's victory celebration banquet
In stark contrast to Shen Fang's anger, the Gu Group was currently immersed in a celebratory atmosphere.
Inside the high-level clubhouse at the Gu Group headquarters, the lights were dazzling, and glasses were clinking. Gu Yanchuan had specially hosted an internal celebration banquet to commemorate this victory. Those in attendance were all senior managers of the Gu Group and some shareholders.
"Ms. Lin, we really owe you a lot this time." A shareholder smiled and raised his glass, saying with gratitude, "If it weren't for your strategy, we would probably have been in a passive position long ago."
“Yes!” another executive chimed in. “Miss Lin not only stabilized the market, but also caused problems with Shen Fang’s cash flow. It was a brilliant move.”
Faced with everyone's praise, Lin Chuyue simply smiled faintly and did not appear overly proud.
“I just did what I was supposed to do.” She raised her glass, her tone calm. “The real victory is far from over.”
This statement caused a slight pause among those present, who then all wore thoughtful expressions.
Gu Yanchuan glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "You really aren't going to let a small victory go to your head."
Lin Chuyue turned to look at him, her eyes deep: "Shen Fang will not let this go."
Li Zhanchuan leaned back lazily on the sofa, casually swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, and said with a smile, "Of course she won't, but the question is, what can she do to us?"
He paused, his tone tinged with mockery: "She's already lost the battle of capital, so what other dirty tricks could she possibly pull?"
Lin Chuyue tapped the table lightly, her voice calm and unhurried: "She can."
Li Zhanchuan's smile faded slightly, and his eyes became deep.
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, his voice low: "You mean, she might resort to even more extreme measures?"
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, a cold glint in her eyes: "After losing the capital battle, if she wants to turn the tide, she can only resort to unorthodox methods."
Her fingertips lightly traced the tabletop, her gaze icy: "For example... start with the people around us."
As soon as these words came out, the air froze instantly.
Li Zhanchuan's eyes darkened slightly. He slowly sat up straight and said in a low voice, "If she really dares to do that, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Gu Yanchuan slowly put down his wine glass, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
This capital war has only just ended, but the real contest seems to have just begun.
Shen Fang's next step
As night deepened, Shen Fang stood on the villa's terrace, the cold wind blowing through her long hair, her gaze cold and deep.
Behind him, a man in a black suit stood quietly, his face hidden in the shadows, exuding a dangerous aura.
"Let's proceed according to plan," Shen Fang said softly, a hint of cruelty in her voice.
The man nodded slightly, his voice low and cold: "Who is the target?"
Shen Fang slowly uttered a name—
"Luo Yurou".
Under the cover of night, a cold smile slowly crept onto her lips.
"Lin Chuyue, do you want to protect everyone?"
"Unfortunately... there are always things in this world that you can't protect."
