Chapter 442 Turnaround and Counterattack
Chapter 442 Turning the Tide and Killing the Opponent
Gu's Group, Boardroom
The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
In the center of the conference room, Gu Yanchuan placed a detailed report on the flow of funds on the table, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the cover of the document, a cold and sharp glint in his eyes.
"Chairman Cheng, you just said that everyone is acting in the company's best interests?"
His tone was calm and unhurried, yet it carried an invisible sense of pressure: "Then why don't we take a look at where these 'benefits' have actually flowed?"
The assistant immediately distributed the documents to all the directors present.
The moment the directors opened the documents, their expressions changed drastically!
This report details the flow of funds for 'Black Scale' and involves several senior executives within the Gu family, including Cheng Zhaonian!
Cheng Zhaonian's fingers trembled, and his expression suddenly changed: "President Gu, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Yanchuan slightly curled his lips, his voice low and cold, "Chairman Cheng, I'm afraid I should be the one asking you that question."
He casually flipped to a page in the document, pointed to the account transaction records, and said with a playful tone, "This sum of 50 million flowed from one of Blackscale's offshore accounts into a shell company, and this company happens to have close financial dealings with one of your companies."
"Chairman Cheng, shouldn't you explain this to everyone?"
There was dead silence in the conference room.
All the directors' eyes were on Cheng Zhaonian.
Cheng Zhaonian clenched his fists tightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said in a deep voice, "The authenticity of this information is questionable!"
"President Gu, isn't it a bit too much to accuse me without any evidence?"
"Excessive?" Gu Yanchuan smiled faintly, his slender fingers flipping through the report, and said casually, "Chairman Cheng, do you think the contents of this report are false?"
"Then why don't we invite a financial audit team and the police to verify this together?"
Cheng Zhaonian's expression completely changed!
police!
If the matter escalates to the point of police involvement, it will no longer be a simple boardroom power struggle, but a criminal case!
His breath hitched, veins bulged on his forehead, and he glared fiercely at Gu Yanchuan, his eyes carrying a warning: "Mr. Gu, leave yourself some leeway, so you can meet again in the future!"
"This is just a suggestion." Gu Yanchuan smiled coldly, his tone nonchalant: "Of course, if Chairman Cheng feels there is a problem, he can raise objections."
"but--"
He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed directly on Cheng Zhaonian, each word piercing: "Can you refute me?"
Cheng Zhaonian choked, his face turning pale and then blue, cold sweat trickling down his temples.
He knew that he had completely lost this round!
-
The situation turned around
The other directors flipped through the documents, their expressions growing increasingly serious.
"Chairman Cheng, your account information is indeed on this..."
"Didn't we agree that we were just putting pressure on them, and that it wouldn't really escalate to the point of police involvement?"
"Chairman Cheng, you didn't mention these things before!"
For a time, even the directors who had originally sided with Cheng Zhaonian began to waver.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Yanchuan's eyes.
A bunch of fence-sitters.
He didn't rush to pursue them, but instead watched coldly as the group shifted blame to each other, waiting for the best opportunity to strike back.
Cheng Zhaonian's face turned ashen as he stared intently at Gu Yanchuan, gritting his teeth as he said, "President Gu, it seems I underestimated you this time."
He took a deep breath and sneered, "But even if I back down, do you think things will be that simple?"
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
A cold smile curled at the corner of Cheng Zhaonian's lips, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "You think you're the only one with leverage?"
He threw a document on the table, his voice cold and sharp: "Take a look, this is some 'investigative report' about you personally."
Gu Yanchuan's gaze darkened slightly. He casually flipped the book open and immediately let out a sneer.
—The document contained a report on his "relationship" with Luo Yurou!
It even included some tampered chat logs and so-called "secret meeting" photos!
"Mr. Gu, your relationship with Ms. Luo has likely seriously damaged the company's image," Cheng Zhaonian said coldly. "If this report is leaked, will the board of directors lose trust in you?"
-
The conference room fell silent again.
Cheng Zhaonian chose to fight back!
-
Lin Chuyue's Counterattack
Gu Yanchuan did not respond immediately, but narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Cheng Zhaonian, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
Cheng Zhaonian thought this would put him in a passive position?
Unfortunately, he miscalculated one move.
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.
A figure walked in slowly, with steady steps, exuding an innate composure and sharpness.
"I find this document... quite interesting."
—Lin Chuyue has arrived!
She was dressed in a smart suit, her delicate features exuding calmness and sharpness as she walked step by step to the conference table.
Cheng Zhaonian frowned: "Miss Lin, what are you doing here?"
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly and gently placed the tablet in her hand on the table: "Since Chairman Cheng can 'investigate' President Gu's private life, I also happen to have some 'interesting' things that we can all enjoy together."
She reached out and tapped to start the video.
-
The video clearly shows Cheng Zhaonian's secret transaction with an underground financial organization!
-
Cheng Zhaonian's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face instantly turned deathly pale!
"This...this is impossible!"
He jumped up, a look of horror finally appearing on his face: "Where did you get this?!"
Lin Chuyue looked at him calmly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes: "Chairman Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know that there is a profession in the world called 'information analyst'."
"You think you've done it discreetly?"
"I'm sorry, we have access to your transaction records."
"Once this video is released, how do you think the police will handle it?"
Cheng Zhaonian swayed and almost lost his balance!
"You!" His finger pointed at Lin Chuyue, his expression a mixture of anger and terror. "You actually..."
Lin Chuyue smiled slightly: "Chairman Cheng, you've lost this game."
-
A complete counterattack!
Inside the meeting room, all the directors' expressions changed as they watched this scene unfold.
Cheng Zhaonian's legs went weak, and he slumped into a chair, utterly defeated.
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Chuyue with a deeper meaning in his gaze.
How did she... manage to obtain this kind of evidence?
-
Lin Chuyue looked at Gu Yanchuan and smiled slightly: "Mr. Gu, shouldn't this meeting be over now?"
Gu Yanchuan chuckled: "Of course."
He casually tossed the "investigation report" on the table into the shredder beside him, his voice low and indifferent: "Boring stuff, not worth wasting time on."
"Cheng Zhaonian—"
He paused, then said coldly, "You're fired."
"As for whether the police will contact you, good luck."
-
Cheng Zhaonian's face was deathly pale, and he slumped weakly into the chair.
Thus ended this power struggle within the board of directors—
It's completely over!
