Chapter 139 Hidden Threat
Lin Chuyue intuitively sensed that the company's internal problems were more complex than she had anticipated, with a web still operating in the shadows, and she was gradually touching its edges. Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan began a full-scale investigation into Li Hao's background, and Gu Yanchuan also keenly noticed Lin Chuyue's recent changes; he decided to lend her a hand. The three were each taking action, but with the enemy in the shadows and them in the open, the situation grew increasingly tense.
Early in the morning, Lin Chuyue arrived at the company on time. As soon as she entered her office, she noticed an unsigned envelope on her desk. There were no special markings on the envelope, but when she opened it, she found a printed screenshot of an email inside.
The screenshot is simple, yet it contains a hidden meaning:
"Immediate objective: To further monitor Lin Chuyue and prevent her from discovering any problems. Report immediately in case of any emergency."
The email did not contain complete sender and recipient addresses, only fragments, but the signature was clearly visible—Shen Fang's code name "SF".
Lin Chuyue's heart sank. Her fingers tightened their grip on the paper, almost crumpling it. She quickly calmed herself, pondering the source and purpose of the letter. Clearly, someone had deliberately leaked this information to her, intending to warn her or draw her deeper into certain events.
"Who sent it? And what is their purpose..." Lin Chuyue's gaze turned cold as she locked the envelope and its contents into a drawer.
Meanwhile, Li Zhanchuan's investigation had already begun. He sat in a secluded private office, opposite his personal assistant Yan Bo, a decisive and elite individual.
"Have you investigated Li Hao's background?" Li Zhanchuan's voice was deep and imposing.
Yan Bo nodded and handed over a report: "He does have a problem. After graduating from university, he briefly worked for a foreign company related to Shen Fang, and then inexplicably resigned and joined the Lin Group. The security system upgrade project was also his core responsibility."
“Shen Fang’s people.” Li Zhanchuan sneered, a cold glint in his eyes. “It seems she hasn’t completely withdrawn her influence yet.”
“There’s something else worth noting,” Yan Bo paused slightly before adding, “Li Hao recently received a large transfer through a third-party account, the source of which points to an overseas company. One of the shareholders behind this company is Shen Fang.”
Li Zhanchuan's gaze darkened, and his tone turned cold: "Continue the investigation, keep a close eye on his every move. If he dares to act recklessly, deal with him immediately."
Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan was also secretly working to ensure Lin Chuyue's safety. He was no longer standing idly by regarding the Lin family's situation, but instead began to make arrangements using his connections within the board of directors.
That day, he deliberately used the excuse of exchanging documents to come to Lin Chuyue's office. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward as the two were alone together for the first time in a long time.
"I heard you've been paying special attention to the security department lately?" Gu Yanchuan placed the documents on the table, his voice gentle yet probing.
Lin Chuyue looked up at him, a faint smile on her lips: "President Gu seems to be paying more and more attention to the company's developments."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Chuyue, you don't always have to talk to me like that. Although Shen Fang's matter is over, I know she left a lot of loose ends. If you need help, I can help you."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle this."
Gu Yanchuan didn't press her further, but simply watched her quietly, seemingly trying to find more answers from her expression. However, Lin Chuyue's expression remained calm, revealing absolutely no clues.
"Contact me anytime if needed." He sighed and turned to leave.
Li Hao grew increasingly uneasy, realizing that Lin Chuyue seemed to have her eye on him. To avoid being exposed, he had no choice but to speed up the process.
Late at night, he entered the monitoring room alone, connected the computer to the external device, and quickly began operating it. His eyes were fixed on the screen, and sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Shen Fang's orders to me cannot fail..." he muttered to himself, his fingers flying across the keyboard. Soon, he had packaged and transmitted important company data to an overseas server.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, footsteps sounded outside the door. His body froze instantly, and he looked warily toward the doorway.
The door was gently pushed open, and Lin Chuyue's figure appeared in the doorway.
"Manager Li, are you still busy so late?" Her tone was calm, but her eyes were cold.
Li Hao quickly closed his laptop, stood up, and suppressed his panic: "President Lin, the security system needs to be debugged. I'll check it to prevent any further problems."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly, took a few steps closer, and glanced at his computer: "You've really worked hard. However, I remember that the technical department submitted the system stability report today. Are you still busy so late? Is there another reason?"
Li Hao was speechless, and cold sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, Li Zhanchuan suddenly appeared at the door, staring at Li Hao with eyes as sharp as knives.
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you." He walked in slowly, his gaze fixed on Li Hao. "It seems we've arrived at just the right time."
Li Hao's face turned pale instantly; he knew he was being watched.
Lin Chuyue didn't turn around, but said calmly, "Since President Li is here, why don't we take a look at Supervisor Li's work results together?"
Li Zhanchuan's lips curled into a cold smile: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
