Chapter 523 Backstab in the Undercurrents
Two hours later, late at night, the "war room" on the 27th floor of the Lin Group headquarters was brightly lit. Lin Chuyue, Li Zhanchuan, Tang Nian, CFO Liu Ke, cybersecurity manager Zhou Yuan, and HR manager Zhao Xin were all seated. On the table were the latest system intrusion report and abnormal account transaction records.
?
I. The startling discovery of the backdoor program
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and pushed the laptop screen toward Lin Chuyue: "President Lin, after Xu Mingyuan was suspended yesterday, we still kept the monitoring program in his account. At 23:45 last night, the system automatically triggered an unauthorized script that actually tried to split the remaining 35 million US dollars in the 'Atlas' account into dozens of transactions and transfer them out through multiple shell companies overseas."
Liu Ke picked up the thread: "The finance department immediately froze those three transit card numbers last night, but we discovered that one of the card numbers was actually an offshore trust account under Lin Yun's name."
The entire audience was stunned.
Li Zhanchuan's gaze narrowed abruptly, and he said in a low voice, "Draw out the entire transfer path; I need to verify each transaction. Tang Nian, immediately notify the international regulators to freeze these suspicious accounts!"
Tang Nian quickly typed out instructions on her phone, and WeChat and emails popped up one after another with red "urgent" icons.
Lin Chuyue stared at the rows of data on the screen, tapping her fingertips lightly on the table: "Lin Yun, you're really something. All these years, you've been scheming in the shadows, even putting your own name in there to test our limits—are you trying to win my dad back, or... do you have other plans?"

II. The Animosity Arising from the Sisters' Feud
Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the conference room door. Lin Yun opened the door, her expression still calm, but with a hint of coldness, and strode in.
“Chuyue, I really don’t believe you ‘caught in the act’.” She looked around at everyone. “But since you’re all so concerned about my ‘offshore trust’, I won’t hold back.”
After saying that, she pulled out a stack of documents from her bag. "These are documents I found in the old archives at home. They are the operating plan for the 'Frost Moon Fund' that my mother left behind before she passed away, and they were also not made public. But I am more concerned about one thing: in the details of the funds on the road, how exactly did the 80 million that you split from the 'Atlas' account get in? Or have you been... covering for Gu Yanchuan all along?"
The room erupted in cheers once again. Lin Chuyue's face was ashen, but her voice boomed: "Don't try to distort the truth! That 80 million was a 'pre-preservation' amount temporarily transferred to the group's account after the regulatory authorities assisted us in freezing it—if you don't understand finance, don't come here and make baseless accusations!"
Lin Yun sneered: "Pre-emptive protection? You think I'd believe that? I just want to see who's better at labeling your company with 'gray funds' as legitimate!"
Li Zhanchuan frowned and stood protectively in front of Lin Chuyue: "Enough, Lin Yun, this is the company, not a stage for you to perform, boast, and distort the facts. If you have any objections, produce evidence."
Lin Yun waved her hand dismissively, spreading the documents out on the table: "I have sufficient evidence, and I will announce it to the public tonight. Remember—I don't want to dig a pit for you and then get trapped myself. Chu Yue, you should have realized long ago who your real sister is!"

III. The Father's Shadow Behind the Cipher Confrontation
Lin Zhengguo's voice came from outside the door, low and urgent: "Chuyue—I..." He pushed the door open and entered, only to be met with an angry glare from Lin Chuyue.
"Dad, you've come at the right time," she said coldly. "Now that Lin Yun has the WeChat messages about the 'elder's instructions,' aren't you going to come out and clarify things? Whom are you supporting? Me, or her?"
Lin Zhengguo staggered a few steps, his face contorted in pain: "I... I only wanted to protect my family, which is why I tipped off Xu Mingyuan. I was unaware of the decision regarding the splitting of funds!"
Lin Yun sneered and interjected, "So you're deliberately trying to divert attention? Making me take the blame for that 5750 million? Let me tell you, this isn't just a financial maneuver; you're using me as a scapegoat to save yourselves!"
Liu Ke couldn't help but speak up: "Who gave the order? The flow of that 5750 million in the accounts is real—either it was you, Lin Zhengguo, who manipulated it, or it was you, Lin Chuyue, who allowed it!"
The father and his two daughters faced off at the table, and everyone seemed to see the darkness of the entire family being torn apart at that moment. Lin Zhengguo lowered his head, unable to utter a word; Lin Yun, however, threw the stack of wills and the "Atlas" fund allocation information page by page at Lin Chuyue.

IV. Gu Yanchuan's Choice and the Sudden Change of Wind
Gu Yanchuan stood behind Lin Yun, brushed his freshly washed hair, and said calmly, "Yun'er, according to you, all the behind-the-scenes manipulation was orchestrated by your sister, and your father was just a supporting character, is that right? But I have your text message records—you personally told Xu Mingyuan 'The script must be completed tonight'... Are you going to push that onto your sister too?"
Everyone turned around, and the screen displayed a series of screenshot text messages—Lin Yun's conversation with Xu Mingyuan, the phrase "Execute at 23:45 tonight"; and her telling the other party, "Don't give them a chance to bring up old grievances again."
Lin Yun spoke at length, but Gu Yanchuan refuted her point by point. She trembled, her face turning cold, but she gritted her teeth and said, "You are betraying the family! You're getting too close to them, do you think I can't see it?"
Gu Yanchuan turned around, his gaze as cold as a blade: "Don't try to blackmail me with 'family ties.' What I want is solid evidence—if you really were doing this for the family, you shouldn't have been secretly manipulating the system; if you really dare to release the documents, you'd better be prepared to be a scapegoat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell over the surroundings. The forces that had initially accused Lin Chuyue were now completely exposed by Lin Yun herself.

V. The Final Ultimatum in a Desperate Situation
Lin Chuyue, her face cold, looked at the stage and the audience, and her voice rang out slowly but powerfully:
"Half an hour tonight, I will initiate a full 'internal audit + police investigation' process, freezing all related accounts and requesting the regulatory authorities to list all involved personnel as key investigation targets. Lin Yun, if you dare to leak any unverified documents, I will let everyone see the whole picture—including your private instructions, evidence of your conspiracy, and your betrayal of the family. Gu Yanchuan, please choose which side you stand on; if you continue to 'remain neutral,' I will consider you to be in cahoots with them!"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened slightly, but she showed no sign of backing down.
Li Zhanchuan gently took her hand from behind and whispered, "I support you. We'll start the process in a bit."
Everyone in the conference room could feel the oppressive pressure. Liu Ke handed her a tablet device, pre-installed with audit instructions that could be triggered immediately; Tang Nian raised her hand to indicate that the external lawyers and police liaisons were on standby.
Lin Yun bit her lip, her face ashen as she put away the documents and silently stepped aside. Gu Yanchuan's eyes flickered, and finally he slowly released her hand, walked to Lin Chuyue's side, and said in a soft but firm voice, "Chuyue, I'm on your side."
?
Night fell again, the office lights still blazing. In the stormy night, the family's blood ties and trust had been torn apart, the chilling winds of self-interest howling outside the windows. That night, everyone understood: amidst the intertwining of truth and betrayal, the Lin family's future had teetered on the brink of collapse.
