Chapter 37 Important Opportunities
Lin Chuyue sat in her office, her fingers lightly tapping the desk, her expression grave. Her mood wasn't relaxed by the temporary victory; instead, the impending challenge made her even more tense. Shen Fang had been suspended for a month, but she was still secretly manipulating the entire situation. Lin Chuyue knew that Shen Fang's scheme was far more sophisticated than she had imagined; only by finding her weakness could she completely thwart Shen Fang's plot.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated, displaying a message from Wang Peng: "President Lin, Shen Fang plans to transfer a large sum of money tomorrow, targeting the 'Vicker Group.' I know her plan, and I can meet with you tonight to provide more information."
Lin Chuyue quickly steadied her breathing, a wave of turmoil washing over her. The Vicker Group? When she accessed the company's financial system just now, she hadn't found anything unusual directly related to this company. She frantically racked her brains, recalling that the Vicker Group was an obscure company with little direct cooperation with them, having only occasionally done some minor, insignificant projects. But now, Shen Fang had chosen such an insignificant company for the transfer of funds—what did that mean?
A thought crossed her mind: Shen Fang was trying to hide something, to prevent outsiders from noticing anything amiss. Her expression grew increasingly serious, and she tapped her fingertips lightly on the table before quickly making a decision: "Meet. I'll choose the location. Tonight at eight o'clock. If you can come, come directly to my office."
Upon receiving Lin Chuyue's reply, Wang Peng responded without hesitation, "Okay, President Lin."
At eight o'clock, Lin Chuyue was already waiting in the office, a cup of untouched tea on the desk. The room was dimly lit, but her mood was like the calm before a storm. The doorbell rang, and Lin Chuyue looked up to see Wang Peng push the door open and enter. At this moment, Wang Peng looked pale and somewhat tired. He entered the room, closed the door, and stood in front of the desk, his head bowed, not daring to look directly at Lin Chuyue.
"Sit down, Wang Peng," Lin Chuyue said in a low voice, her gaze devoid of any emotion.
Wang Peng nodded, sat down gently, and said in a low voice, "President Lin, I know Shen Fang's plan. Tomorrow, she plans to transfer a huge sum of money from the company to the Vickers Group's overseas account. She intends to use this company to launder the money and cover up her improper operations."
Lin Chuyue stared intently at him, a cold glint in her eyes: "How much money is involved?"
“That’s roughly a quarter’s worth of revenue.” Wang Peng frowned, a hint of fear in his voice. “Shen Fang originally planned a simple transaction, but she was too hasty and didn’t arrange certain aspects properly. I originally thought she would be more careful, but now it seems she clearly took a shortcut.”
Lin Chuyue nodded, countless possible scenarios flashing through her mind. Shen Fang was an extremely cautious woman; for her to make such a hasty decision, she must have been influenced by some kind of pressure or unexpected event.
"Are you sure this information is accurate?" Lin Chuyue asked, her tone calm but her eyes sharp and probing.
Wang Peng hesitated for a moment, then answered in a low voice, "Yes, President Lin. I personally saw her communicating with the finance department and personally confirming the flow of these funds."
“Okay.” Lin Chuyue nodded slightly and quickly began to arrange the operation. “You continue to monitor Shen Fang’s movements. Don’t miss any details. Starting tonight, make sure I get timely information about every decision she makes.”
“I understand, Mr. Lin.” Wang Peng said seriously, then added, “Mr. Lin, actually I don’t want to continue like this anymore. Shen Fang is pushing too hard and is becoming more and more unscrupulous in her methods. I can hardly tolerate her anymore. I used to feel that I owed her a favor, but now she is no longer the person I was grateful to.”
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, before regaining her composure: "This is none of your business, Wang Peng. You made the right decision. Stay vigilant and don't let Shen Fang notice anything unusual."
Wang Peng nodded, a determined glint in his eyes, then stood up to leave.
"Wang Peng." Lin Chuyue suddenly spoke, and as she watched him walk to the door, she called him back, "If this is successful, I will consider giving you more opportunities and will also recommend your promotion to the board of directors."
Wang Peng turned around, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, President Lin. I will definitely not let you down."
After the door closed, Lin Chuyue remained seated, lost in thought. She knew that Wang Peng's exposure had given her an opportunity, but the struggle was far from over. Shen Fang's cunning was unfathomable; any slight oversight could lead to everything being lost.
Shen Fang did not stop her work. She was not surprised by Wang Peng's betrayal; on the contrary, she already had a plan in mind. She knew she had to be even more careful in hiding and not give Lin Chuyue any opportunity to take advantage of her.
She immediately convened an emergency meeting and arranged for a financial advisor to conduct a meticulous fund transfer. "We must make this fund transfer even more legitimate," Shen Fang said coldly. "We must make the flow of this money appear perfectly legitimate, so that even if outsiders investigate, they cannot find any clues."
The financial advisor quickly proposed a solution: "We can break this fund down into several small transactions and transfer them to different affiliated companies. We can even invest a portion of the funds in some seemingly normal business projects. This way, even if outsiders investigate, they won't be able to detect anything unusual."
“Okay.” Shen Fang nodded, her eyes gleaming with shrewdness. “Move immediately and make sure there are no loopholes.”
She already had a plan in mind. Although Lin Chuyue's investigation was urgent, she believed she had already laid enough traps. The time ahead would be crucial in determining everything.
A few days later, Lin Chuyue began anxiously tracking the financial flows of the Vickers Group, having already assigned someone to monitor the relevant accounts and the movement of funds. Meanwhile, Gu Yanchuan quietly began his own investigation.
As a key member of the board of directors, his network of informants extended both inside and outside the company. One day, he discovered unusual fund flows at the Vickers Group in a transaction report. The amounts involved were substantial, and the funds were flowing into multiple unidentified overseas accounts. He was alarmed and decided to immediately launch a further investigation.
Gu Yanchuan immediately instructed his team to trace the flow of funds and reported this information to his core group. "Lin Chuyue," Gu Yanchuan murmured to himself, "can you find the truth from these clues?"
As the investigation deepened, Shen Fang sensed something amiss. She hadn't realized that Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan had been watching her every move. The situation that followed was bound to be an unprecedented power struggle.
