Chapter 46 The storm is rising
Time flew by amidst the hectic work pace. Lin Chuyue was completely immersed in her investigation of Shen Fang, handling company affairs daily while secretly gathering information on Shen Fang's fund transfer records and any hidden clues. She knew perfectly well that every move Shen Fang made could be a trap she had set for herself, and she could not afford to relax even for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Chuyue was sitting in her spacious office, her hands clasped on the table, her brows furrowed as she stared at the documents before her. She had begun to gain a preliminary understanding of Shen Fang's cash flow—the fund transfers, though seemingly complex, were actually deeply interconnected, concealing the shadow of a multinational corporation.
"What game is Shen Fang playing?" Lin Chuyue muttered to herself, her fingertips lightly tapping the table. She quickly flipped open a document beside her, which detailed Shen Fang's fund transfer paths and affiliated companies. These companies seemed unrelated, but in reality, they colluded with each other in a clever way. Behind every single transaction, it seemed, Shen Fang was controlling things.
Just as she was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Lin Chuyue put down the documents in her hand and looked away from them.
Gu Yanchuan pushed open the door and entered, his usual calmness and decisiveness evident. He glanced at the documents on Lin Chuyue's desk, his brow furrowing slightly: "Are you investigating Shen Fang's financial transactions?"
Lin Chuyue nodded, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable resolve: "She is transferring funds overseas through a company, and this company seems to have a significant background."
Gu Yanchuan walked to her side and whispered, "What do you plan to do?"
Lin Chuyue paused, a sharp glint in her eyes: "First, I need to identify the actual controller of that company. Next, I need to find more clues to uncover their relationship with Shen Fang."
Gu Yanchuan looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "You're not planning to wait for my help?"
“The most crucial thing now is time.” Lin Chuyue raised her head and said calmly, “Once Shen Fang notices our actions, she will definitely react in advance. If she knows that we have control over her financial transactions, she may be even more cautious.”
Gu Yanchuan paused for a moment, seemingly considering Lin Chuyue's words, then said in a low voice, "I will help you monitor that company's cash flow to ensure everything goes smoothly." He paused, his tone softening slightly, "However, remember, don't take too many risks."
Lin Chuyue's gaze was firm: "I know. Shen Fang has already pushed us to this point, and there is no room for error."
The brief conversation between the two did not break the oppressive atmosphere in the office; instead, it intensified the tension. Lin Chuyue knew she didn't have much time to hesitate. Shen Fang was constantly laying out her plans in the shadows, and she had to break them first.
That evening, Lin Chuyue sat alone in her office, her tired eyes slightly narrowed. On the computer screen on her desk, the same financial transaction data remained. She had uncovered some crucial clues, but she knew it was far from enough.
Suddenly, an instant message popped up on her computer screen. It was from her assistant: "President Lin, the latest cash flow report shows that Shen Fang's recent financial activities have been extremely frequent, especially at an overseas company, involving a large amount of money transfers."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. She quickly reviewed the report, her expression growing increasingly serious. That company was the one she had previously suspected, and now she had concrete evidence.
"Keep a close eye on this company and make sure every transaction is recorded," Lin Chuyue quickly decided.
However, just as she was about to continue her work, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." She didn't look up, her eyes fixed on the documents in her hands.
The door slowly opened, and Gu Yanchuan appeared in the doorway, his expression more serious than usual: "Lin Chuyue, Shen Fang has already noticed something amiss."
Lin Chuyue suddenly raised her head, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes: "How did she know?"
Gu Yanchuan's gaze was deep: "Her movements have become more frequent, and seem to have become more restrained. She has realized that we are investigating her and may take measures."
Lin Chuyue's heart tightened. She knew that Shen Fang wouldn't let her off easily. This woman was cunning and calculating, and this was the most dangerous time for her.
“She might react, and we must be prepared,” Gu Yanchuan added in a low voice.
“That’s right.” Lin Chuyue’s gaze sharpened, and she said in a deep voice, “At this moment, the more cautious Shen Fang is, the more it proves that we have approached her core. From now on, we must be even more careful.”
Gu Yanchuan nodded: "If you need me to do anything, just let me know."
“Not for now.” Lin Chuyue shook her head gently. “I will continue to investigate that company and find more evidence.”
A hint of concern flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes, but he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Lin Chuyue watched his departing figure, a complex emotion rising within her. She knew that Gu Yanchuan had done his best to help her, but she still remained wary—had he truly been completely open about everything he did?
As night fell, Lin Chuyue's thoughts became increasingly chaotic. She knew that every step she took from here on out would determine the final showdown between her and Shen Fang. And in this battle, she could not afford to lose.
This night was destined to be turbulent. Behind the undercurrents, Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan were already prepared. Shen Fang, however, was facing an ending she could not foresee.
