Chapter 631 Time to wake up from the dream
At two o'clock in the morning, the lights were still on at the Shen family's old house.
Lin Chuyue stood by the window, her back to the viewer with a cold and aloof air. In her hand lay her mother's old notebook, its cover yellowed and faintly smelling of medicine. She turned the pages one by one, and found a letter tucked away in the crevice.
The letter was written on very thin paper, yet a passage was written on it meticulously:
"If one day I no longer recognize you, it's not because I don't remember, but because my memory has been rewritten. Remember, memory isn't everything; the truth lies in belief."
Signed: Shen Wanqing.
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat.
My mother had long anticipated this day.
Her gaze hardened, and she immediately turned and went into her mother's bedroom.
"Mom, I know you can hear me."
Shen Wanqing on the bed twitched her eyebrows and her eyelids trembled slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up.
Lin Chuyue grasped her hand, her tone slow yet firm: "You once rejected the Shen family's mental research plan at a meeting. You told me, 'The human mind is not a machine that can be programmed at will.'"
"They are afraid you will wake up, because once you do, many people will not survive."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Wanqing's finger twitched slightly.
……
Vision Capital headquarters conference room.
Li Zhanchuan sat in the main seat, with an encrypted USB drive containing data beside him. In front of him, an old photograph was displayed on the screen.
The photo shows a group picture of the members of the experimental group from back then. Shen Fang, Shen Hengchuan, Gu's father, and Li's mother—they were all present.
"Project X.31, originally named 'Resonance Memory Implantation,' is a mental research project led by the Shen family, with the goal of creating a group cognitive attachment among a specific population."
In other words, it's a form of 'controlled brainwashing'.
Li Zhanchuan frowned and looked at the vice president beside him: "Is there any way to find out if this plan has been mass-produced and implemented?"
The vice president shook his head: "The research institutions controlled by the Shen family are very well-hidden, but we got information from Gu Yanchuan that the recent 'new drug trial' may be a continuation of X.31."
Li Zhanchuan stood up, his tone cold and stern: "Prepare the materials immediately. I will personally go to the Shen Group's board meeting in three hours."
The vice president was stunned: "You want to... confront us head-on?"
"This game has gone on long enough; it's time to flip the table."
……
That afternoon, Lin Chuyue stepped into the Lin Group and went straight into the boardroom.
Lin Zhengguo was indeed among them, and his expression turned complicated when he saw Lin Chuyue.
"Chuyue, your mother just had an accident, and you still have the mood to stir up trouble?"
Lin Chuyue gave him a cold look: "You've already cooperated with Shen Yanli?"
Lin Zhengguo was taken aback.
"You think I can't tell? You think I won't notice if you change the doctor by Shen's mother's bedside? You think you can hide your meeting with Shen Yanli from me?"
Lin Zhengguo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I did it for the Lin family."
"For the Lin family, you'd sell your ex-wife's soul and your daughter's life?"
Lin Zhengguo slammed his hand on the table: "Lin Chuyue! You've gone too far!"
“I’m just getting started.” Lin Chuyue slammed a printed document on the table. “This is the patent ownership certificate for the research results of my mother and Vision Group over many years. Once it is published, the Lin Group will be identified as using illegal technology, and the entire board of directors will be investigated.”
Lin Zhengguo's face turned pale instantly.
"Unless—you convene a board meeting immediately and announce a review of the board seats."
The conference room was dead silent.
The directors lowered their heads and remained silent, only Lin Zhengguo's hands were clenched into fists.
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Gu Yanchuan walked in, holding a black folder in his hand.
"Sorry to bother you."
He said calmly, "Shen Yanli now controls 47% of the voting rights in the Lin family. He plans to take this opportunity to establish a 'medical technology subsidiary' and push X.31 into the commercial healthcare field."
"If you don't want to be on the front page tomorrow, vote now."
……
Meanwhile, Shen Yanli sat in a high-rise villa on the western outskirts of Haicheng, staring at the monitoring screen and sneering.
"Lin Chuyue has indeed begun to fight back."
He picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
A beautiful figure appeared behind me.
Lin Yun walked in, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Are you really planning to have Shen Wanqing completely 'rewrite'?"
Shen Yanli didn't look up, only saying calmly, "Don't you want to see her lose everything?"
Lin Yun didn't speak, but slowly sat down, a strange unease rising in her heart.
"Lin Chuyue will not let this go."
Shen Yanli finally put down his teacup, looked out at the dark, overcast sky, and said softly:
The more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
"This game of chess was destined from the day she was born."
……
As evening fell, Lin Chuyue returned to the Shen residence.
Shen Wanqing woke up.
He seemed dazed, sitting on the balcony muttering to himself, "Who are you?"
Lin Chuyue felt as if a sharp blade had pierced her heart: "I am Chuyue, your daughter."
Shen Wanqing blinked: "Isn't your name Wanqing? Aren't you my sister?"
Lin Chuyue stood there, unable to utter a sound for a long time.
Mother, you've really changed.
She seemed to live in another world, in a dream that had been artificially altered.
“They gave you medicine, didn’t they?” She crouched down, her voice trembling. “I will save you… I will definitely save you.”
Shen Wanqing suddenly reached out and gently stroked her face, as tenderly as he had ten years ago: "Don't cry, you're a good child, you shouldn't be living in a place like this."
Lin Chuyue's eyes welled up with tears.
"I will bring all of this to an end."
……
As night deepened, Li Zhanchuan stood in front of the Shen family's old mansion.
He's finally here.
Lin Chuyue opened the door and saw him; the weariness in her eyes finally disappeared.
"I've lost her," she whispered.
"No." Li Zhanchuan hugged her and whispered, "We will find her."
He took out a chip sample. "This is the composition of Shen Yanli's new drug 'C-7'. My people intercepted it from his lab."
“Is there a way to crack it?”
“Perhaps.” Li Zhanchuan looked up at her, his gaze piercing. “If you are still willing to believe me.”
Lin Chuyue nodded gently.
"Starting today, we will break the deadlock."

Next chapter preview:
Lin Chuyue and Gu Yanchuan convened a board meeting in an attempt to seize control of the situation.
Li Zhanchuan secretly orchestrated an operation codenamed "Operation Against the Light" to uncover Shen Yanli's core experimental base.
Faced with a choice between conscience and power, Lin Zhengguo once again wavered.
Lin Yun's identity is in jeopardy, and she will have to make a crucial choice.
Shen Wanqing's memories began to return, but she was taken away by a mysterious force, and the situation changed drastically.
