Chapter 634 The Cliff of Power
"Lin Chuyue will soon hold a press conference to release evidence of the Shen family's illegal human experiments."
This news immediately caused a strong shock in the financial and political circles.
Countless eyes were instantly drawn to the "reborn" heiress of the Shen family—she had not only found her mother but also possessed the key material to shake the foundations of the Shen family.
Inside the Lin Group headquarters, Lin Zhengguo's private office was eerily silent.
"Several senior members of the board refused to attend the regular meeting today," the assistant reported in a low voice, his face stiff. "They are waiting for the results of Lin Chuyue's press conference."
Lin Zhengguo put down his wine glass and sneered, "Wait? Are they waiting for Lin Chuyue to win, or for me to lose?"
No one dared to answer.
Lin Yun stood on the other side of the office, watching her father's tense back, and for the first time, a wavering appeared in her eyes.
She finally understood that her father wasn't afraid of losing everything, but rather—he couldn't accept being defeated by Lin Chuyue.
"Dad," Lin Yun began, her voice slow, "Am I... also involved by her?"
Lin Zhengguo turned his head sharply, his eyes as cold as knives: "What do you mean?"
Lin Yun bit her lip and finally voiced her doubts that had been buried for many days: "After Gu Yanchuan returned to China, the first person he contacted was not me, but her; you think I'm still scheming around her, but she already knew that I was relaying your message."
“She didn’t see me as a threat or an ally at all.”
Lin Zhengguo sneered: "So you're backing down now?"
"No." Lin Yun lowered her head, her eyes dim. "It's because I finally realize that I can never beat her in this lifetime."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Zhengguo slammed his hand on the table and roared, "You are my daughter, Lin Zhengguo's daughter. If you can't even beat her, then what have all my decades of chess skills amounted to?"
Lin Yun was so shocked by the shout that her face turned pale. After a long while, she finally spoke in a low voice: "She is your daughter."
The air froze instantly.
Lin Zhengguo's expression underwent a subtle change at that moment—anger, shame, and even a vague sense of fear.
“So what if she’s my daughter?” he said in a low voice. “She’s disobedient, disloyal, and unwilling to be controlled. She’s not the heir I need.”
Lin Yun looked at him and suddenly asked, "Then what do you need? A tool who will only ever obey your orders, without any self or feelings?"
Lin Zhengguo remained silent.
At this moment, he could not refute it, because what Lin Yun said was exactly the trajectory he had set for Lin Chuyue—nurturing her from childhood, arranging her education, designing her marriage, and even arranging her position within the Lin family.
Lin Chuyue chose to overturn everything.
Looking at her father's expression, Lin Yun felt a string in her heart snap.
"Dad, I'm not on her side, but I'm not helping you anymore either." She turned and left, leaving behind a silence.
……
Meanwhile, backstage at the press conference.
Lin Chuyue, dressed in a black and gold dress, held a speech in her hand. Her gaze passed through the curtain in front of the stage, looking at the political and business representatives, journalists from various countries, overseas investors, and... Gu Yanchuan, who were all seated in the audience.
He sat in the front row, his gaze intense, as indifferent yet sharp as ever.
Li Zhanchuan stood to the right rear of the stage, side by side with her.
"Are you ready?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Chuyue nodded, her eyes as firm as a sword.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the emergency press conference jointly held by Vision Capital and Yunyao Medical."
Lin Chuyue's voice rang out, and the entire press conference hall fell silent instantly.
"Today, on behalf of Vision Capital, Yunyao Medical Research Institute, and as a survivor, I will uncover a conspiracy hidden behind neurological research."
She clicked on the remote control, and the first slide of the PPT prominently displayed the internal audit charts of "Jinchuan Laboratory" under the Shen family's name over the past ten years.
"Within ten years, there have been at least 41 cases of cover-up illegal human experiments involving high-frequency neural resonance, electrical signal stripping, and gene-level response induction."
"Many of the patients involved eventually went insane, suffered from amnesia, or became vegetative."
A murmur and gasp arose from the audience.
Lin Chuyue continued: "More importantly, the project was disguised as a 'National Special Research Project on Neurodegenerative Diseases' from the beginning to the end, applying for huge sums of money under a legitimate name."
"However, in reality, the entire experiment was a 'Sleeper Project' personally led by Shen Yanli."
This sentence was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the entire audience.
Lin Chuyue raised her hand and showed several simulated consciousness resonance diagrams: "These are consciousness records we read from the brain of a rescued experimental subject."
In the video, a middle-aged woman is huddled in a corner of a psychiatric ward, repeatedly saying, "He lied to me. He said I could see the future..."
Images of Shen Wanqing!
Gu Yanchuan's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't expect that Lin Chuyue had even prepared a replay of her mother's consciousness and made it public without any hesitation.
"My mother, Shen Wanqing, was one of the earliest and most tragic test subjects in this experiment."
Lin Chuyue's voice was icy: "She is not mentally unstable, but her consciousness has been deliberately 'shattered'."
The venue was completely silent.
That chill emanating from the depths of society instantly pierced through the pretense of everyone present.
Lin Chuyue put away the documents and said slowly, "From today onwards, Jinchuan Laboratory will be fully investigated by the judicial system, and all victims' families will receive assistance from the Vision Capital Special Compensation Fund."
"Those within the Lin Group who participated in this project—regardless of their position or status—will be held accountable."
"Including...my father, Lin Zhengguo."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar!
Even some of the older directors of the Lin family sitting in the front row had a change in expression.
Lin Chuyue's gaze swept across the entire room, and she said calmly, "From today onwards, I will officially take over all external affairs of the Lin Group, and internal personnel will be reorganized."
"Anyone who obstructs the investigation will be considered to be complicit in the cover-up."
At this moment, she was no longer just "Shen Wanqing's daughter," nor was she an abandoned child of the Lin family.
Rather, it is Lin Chuyue, the true successor.
……
After the press conference, public opinion erupted.
The top three trending topics on Weibo were "Jinchuan Experiment", "Lin Chuyue and her father turn against each other", and "Gu Yanchuan suspected of joining forces with Lin Chuyue".
The B City District Prosecutors Office raided Jinchuan Laboratory overnight, and Lin Zhengguo's secretary and the head of Lin's research department were taken away that night to assist in the investigation.
When Gu Yanchuan walked out of the press conference venue, he was surrounded by reporters.
"Mr. Gu, what are your thoughts on the restructuring of the Lin Group and Vision Capital?"
What is your relationship with Lin Chuyue?
"I heard you are engaged to Lin Yun. Is this incident affecting you?"
He only said one sentence: "Lin Chuyue is the only partner I have ever truly trusted in this life."
This statement once again caused a public uproar.
……
Lin Zhengguo sat in the study of the villa, his expression ashen.
Outside the window, the night was as black as iron.
Suddenly, a deep voice rang out: "You have failed."
He turned his head sharply and saw Shen Yanli's image appear on the computer screen.
“She even controlled the press conference perfectly.” Lin Zhengguo gritted his teeth. “You’re wrong to say she won’t fight back.”
Shen Yanli chuckled: "She has only controlled the 'world of daytime,' while the night has only just begun."
"Project Sleepers has not yet truly begun."
Lin Zhengguo was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
Shen Yanli said calmly, "You think you're a bargaining chip, but you've long been a pawn in my hands."
"Lin Chuyue is far from winning."
The screen goes off.
Lin Zhengguo's face turned pale in an instant as he finally realized that the ally he had once supported had already prepared his own grave.
Lin Chuyue will also face the real "Chess Game of the Night".
