Chapter 271 The Mastermind Appears
Lin Yun was taken away, and a deathly silence filled the warehouse. Lin Chuyue stood in front of the broken iron gate, her gaze falling on the still-lingering smoke on the ground.
Her fingers unconsciously caressed the coat Li Zhanchuan had draped over her shoulders, her emotions fluctuating wildly.
Tonight's events were far too dangerous. If Li Zhanchuan hadn't arrived in time, she couldn't imagine whether she would still be standing here unharmed.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Li Zhanchuan.
The man was whispering something to his assistant, his expression cold and stern, exuding a sharp aura, like a blade that could take a life at any moment.
Lin Chuyue pursed her lips, then stepped forward, her tone indifferent: "You've been keeping an eye on Lin Yun for a while now?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhanchuan slightly raised his eyes, his gaze as calm as the sea. "What do you think?"
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly.
Did this man plan this all along?
"You deliberately let her lead me here?" she asked, her tone somewhat unfriendly.
Li Zhanchuan, however, remained unconcerned, saying calmly, "If we don't let her lower her guard, how could she possibly lure out the real mastermind?"
Lin Chuyue was startled, and the scenes from just now flashed through her mind.
Is there really an even greater force behind Lin Yun?
Her expression gradually turned serious. "What did you find out?"
Li Zhanchuan gently raised his hand, his fingertips brushing against the strands of hair on her shoulder, his voice low and deep: "It's not certain yet, but Lin Yun is definitely just a pawn."
"The real mastermind has been lurking in the shadows all along."
Lin Chuyue's heart sank suddenly.
She thought that dealing with Lin Yun would temporarily stabilize the situation, but little did she know that this was just the beginning.

Investigate the truth
Back at the villa, Lin Chuyue didn't rest. Instead, she immediately turned on her computer and began to sort through all the clues.
Li Zhanchuan sat opposite her, his slender fingers lightly tapping the table, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Lin Yun doesn't have the ability to plan such a big scheme. The person behind her must have other plans."
Lin Chuyue nodded, "But the problem is, who exactly is the other party? If their target is only me, they could simply use Lin Yun to take action, but they deliberately made a big fuss and even went so far as to let you get involved."
"What does this mean?"
She looked at Li Zhanchuan, her gaze deep.
Li Zhanchuan parted his thin lips slightly, his tone slow but sharp: "This shows that their real target is not just you."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat.
Yes, she alone wouldn't be enough for the people behind her to set up such a big scheme.
So……
She suddenly looked up. "Is it the Gu family?"
Li Zhanchuan smiled slightly, a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Very likely."
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, quickly recalling Gu Yanchuan's unusual behavior a few days ago.
"Gu's stock price has been fluctuating a lot recently. Although Gu Yanchuan appears calm on the surface, he is secretly investigating something."
Her voice was calm and clear: "If this matter really involves the Gu family, then the person behind it is definitely not an ordinary person."
Li Zhanchuan lowered his eyes and tapped the table twice with his fingers. "Tomorrow, I will have someone thoroughly investigate the Gu family's movements."
Lin Chuyue nodded slightly, but felt a little uneasy.
She always felt that the matter was far more complicated than they had imagined.
Who is the real mastermind...?
-
Center of the vortex
The following day, Lin Yun's matter was completely suppressed, and the outside world had no idea what had happened the night before.
Lin Chuyue did not appear at the company immediately, but went to Gu's Group first.
She needed to confirm Gu Yanchuan's attitude herself.
"Chuyue?"
When she stepped into the office, Gu Yanchuan was standing by the window. When he turned around and saw her, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lin Chuyue walked up to him and got straight to the point: "Have you also noticed that something's not right?"
Gu Yanchuan's smile faded, and his gaze darkened.
He was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You noticed too?"
Lin Chuyue stared into his eyes, her tone firm: "Someone wants to get back at you."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes flickered slightly, then he slowly said, "I know."
"But the problem is... I don't know who the other person is."
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened.
Even Gu Yanchuan couldn't be found?
It seems that this enemy is more troublesome than they expected.
The real crisis has just begun.
