Nirvana Heiress: Reborn and Returning to Stir Up a Storm

Chapter 531 The Night of Breakthrough

As night deepened, the lights in the Lin Group building went out one by one, leaving only the brightly lit "War Room" on the top floor. Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Yan sat around the projector, the latest round of procedural details regarding the "Scepter Clause" having been finalized—but an even more devastating impact was quietly brewing in the shadows.

?

I. Lin Yun's Last Trump Card

At three o'clock in the morning, an urgent package arrived from Gu's headquarters—a sealed blue folder, sent by Lin Yun.

Lin Chuyue frowned as she looked at the folder. She calmly opened it and found a secret agreement between "Tianyao Fund" and "Hengpu Investment," as well as a previously unknown "gray kickback" transaction record from the Gu Group.

"It seems that Shen Yan's proposed scepter clause is just bait. What really wants to destroy us is—Gu's own scandal." Lin Yun left a cold line at the end of the document.

Gu Yanchuan's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a low voice, "How did these documents end up in her hands?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "Only Gu Yonghui and Gu Yanchuan, your closest allies, know about the kickback between Cheng Yi's fund shares and the accounts of Gu's executives."

?

II. The Cracks in Trust

Gu Yanchuan suddenly stood up, picked up his phone and dialed his father Gu Yonghui's number: "Dad, you have to give me an explanation for this."

His voice was cold, yet it trembled slightly.

Gu Yonghui remained silent for a long time: "These were necessary due to the market conditions at the time. Don't try to pin all the blame on me."

Gu Yanchuan's fingers gripped his phone tightly: "Then you'd better be prepared. I'm going to reveal this agreement to the board tonight—even if it involves the entire Gu family, I'll bring the truth to the forefront!"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Yonghui finally relented: "Whatever you say, but you have to tell me first why you want to walk this path with Lin Chuyue?"

Gu Yanchuan said angrily, "Because she's the only person I can still trust!"

?

III. Another split at the top

The company's board of directors held an emergency meeting at 7:00 a.m., with Lin Yun, Gu's senior executives, and some old shareholders in attendance. A new round of "joint review" proposals was once again put on the agenda.

Her face was stern: "After we exposed the Gu family's shady kickback practices, the 'scepter clause' became completely unreasonable. I propose that we suspend any aggressive actions that rely on this clause until an independent audit has also completed its assessment of the Gu family's funds!"

The audience erupted in applause, but Lin Chuyue immediately stood up: "So, you want to investigate the Gu family's scandal alongside the Lin family trust? This is blatant blackmail!"

Lin Zhengguo also rushed over to lend a hand: "Yun'er is right, you can't hit people and then call yourself a paragon of virtue!"

Gu Yanchuan's face turned ashen, and he shouted sternly, "If you want an equal review, you should accept my and Chuyue's conditions—to disclose all kickback transactions by this evening and let the market and regulators decide whether they are legal or not!"

The entire venue came to a standstill once again.

IV. Tang Nian's desperate battle

At this moment, Tang Nian hurriedly took her seat, her face serious as she pulled out her phone: "President Lin, urgent news—public opinion monitoring has discovered that Lin Yun uploaded the compliance loopholes of the 'scepter clause' to several lawyers' public accounts last night, guiding public opinion to question the legality of this clause. It will become the headline tonight!"

Lin Chuyue's gaze turned cold: "She's trying to use public opinion to undermine the legal process!"

Tang Nian nodded: "I have contacted the legal department urgently and am preparing to issue a lawyer's statement to clarify the source and legal effect of the clause, but I need you to quickly launch a counterattack in the public opinion field."

?

V. The final ultimatum before breaking the deadlock

On the projector, Shen Yan presented her mother's manuscript, Gu Yonghui's kickback agreement, Lin Yun's forged evidence, and other materials one by one, and the atmosphere at the scene was already tense.

Lin Chuyue slowly stood up: "At four o'clock this afternoon, the lawyers from all three parties will simultaneously release a joint statement through two mainstream law firms—confirming the legality of the 'scepter clause' and initiating a comprehensive audit of the Gu family's kickback case. If any platform or media hypes up this matter again, we will take legal action to hold them accountable."

Gu Yanchuan also stepped forward: "I will personally guarantee the authenticity and neutrality of the statement—no one is allowed to question it."

Shen Yan nodded: "Anyone who tries to stir up trouble will become the subject of an audit."

This statement was like a thunderclap, drawing all the undercurrents of calamity into the open.

?

The lingering sound

In the office before dawn, Lin Chuyue, Gu Yanchuan, and Shen Yan stood side by side. Behind them lay all the information that was about to be released, while outside, public opinion was reaching a boiling point and the board of directors was engaged in a power struggle.

She whispered to Gu Yanchuan, "Next, we'll see whether they fall to the heavy hammer of our laws first, or are swallowed up by public opinion."

He reached out and took her hand: "No matter what, I will never let anyone hurt you again."

As dawn broke and rosy clouds began to appear on the horizon, the fourth showdown between the family and capital was just beginning.
