Chapter 444 Where to Go From Here
As night falls, undercurrents surge.
The crisis at the Gu Group continues. External doubts and media hype have caused the company's stock price to continue to fall, and some competitors have even taken advantage of the situation to try to take over some of the business while the company is in turmoil.
However, the real mastermind behind this crisis remains hidden in the shadows.
Lin Chuyue sat at her desk in the apartment, staring intently at the data on the computer screen.
The intelligence she had indicated that Shen Fang's old subordinates had not been completely dismantled; they still controlled a considerable amount of resources outside the region, and even... had some connections in certain financial sectors.
Most importantly, they seem to be secretly looking for new proxies and preparing to cultivate new forces in order to continue to erode the Gu Group.
"They're really persistent." Lin Chuyue sneered, lightly clicking her finger on the mouse to quickly archive the collected intelligence.
Just then, her cell phone vibrated.
—A new anonymous message popped up.
You shouldn't have interfered.
This short sentence carries an undisguised warning.
Lin Chuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
She gripped her phone tightly, her mind already made up.
Since they dared to threaten her, she had even less reason to back down.

Gu Yanchuan's decision
The president's office of the Gu Group.
Gu Yanchuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, his brows furrowed.
“President Gu, today’s stock price has fallen below our psychological threshold. Several board members have begun to waver, and some are even secretly contacting external capital, seemingly… planning to take sides.” The assistant stood to the side, his voice low.
Gu Yanchuan didn't speak, but just quietly looked at the night outside the window.
After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly: "Who is wavering?"
The assistant paused slightly, then whispered, "What has been confirmed so far is Director Zhang of the Zhang Group, as well as some of Cheng Zhaonian's former confidants... However, there is a more troublesome situation."
"explain."
"Lin Zhengguo, who is Miss Lin's father, seems to have recently been in contact with some shareholders."
Gu Yanchuan's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Lin Zhengguo?
What does he want to do now?
-
Lin Chuyue's father is caught in a game of chess.
Meanwhile, inside a private room at Lin Zhengguo's private club.
"President Lin, as you can see, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Gu family."
A middle-aged man, holding a glass of red wine, looked intently at Lin Zhengguo and asked in a meaningful tone, "We'd like to know, which side do you intend to take?"
Lin Zhengguo sat opposite him, his brows furrowed slightly, a vague unease creeping into his heart.
These days, he has received far too many similar invitations.
Negative news about the Gu family is flying everywhere, and many long-standing shareholders are beginning to waver. Some are even secretly joining forces with external forces, trying to take the opportunity to weaken Gu Yanchuan's control.
This game has gradually slipped out of his control.
“President Lin, your daughter is now a key figure in the Gu family.” Another man said with a smile, “The fact that she was able to get dirty information about Cheng Zhaonian is enough to show that she has considerable power in this game.”
"Unfortunately..." the other person paused, then their tone suddenly changed, "She chose the wrong side."
Lin Zhengguo's expression changed slightly.
“Our people have investigated, and this crisis is just the beginning,” the man chuckled. “Gu Yanchuan may not be able to weather this storm, but if President Lin is willing to take sides in advance, he may have a broader space for development in the future.”
After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.
Lin Zhengguo gripped his wine glass tightly, his heart churning with complex emotions.
He didn't want to be on the opposite side of Lin Chuyue, but... if the Gu family really couldn't hold on, what should he do?

Lin Chuyue's questioning
The following day, after receiving the news, Lin Chuyue immediately went to find Lin Zhengguo.
"Dad, who have you met with recently?" she asked directly, her eyes sharp.
Lin Zhengguo was taken aback by her sudden question, then frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Stop pretending." Lin Chuyue stared at him coldly. "Are you in contact with those who oppose Gu Yanchuan?"
Lin Zhengguo's expression changed slightly, then he said in a deep voice, "How did you know?"
"Of course I know." Lin Chuyue gritted her teeth, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. "You knew those people were problematic, yet you still contacted them? What were you thinking?"
Lin Zhengguo was somewhat annoyed by her questioning, and his tone became firm: "I'm looking for a way out for myself! Do you really think Gu Yanchuan can weather this crisis? What will happen to our Lin family if he fails?"
"So your solution is—betrayal?" Lin Chuyue sneered. "Dad, do you even know what you're doing?"
"I'm making the most rational choice." Lin Zhengguo took a deep breath and said calmly, "Chuyue, that's just how reality is. In the business world, there are no absolute friends, only interests."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat. She stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
But that smile carried a chilling undertone.
"So... you're still the same as in your past life, being manipulated and manipulated, yet believing you're making the best choice."
Lin Zhengguo's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Lin Chuyue slowly stood up, her voice icy. "I'm just reminding you that you think you can get away unscathed, but those people... will only treat you as a pawn that can be discarded at any time."
She turned and left, leaving Lin Zhengguo with a look of uncertainty on his face.

Final counterattack strategy
Back at her apartment, Lin Chuyue immediately dialed Gu Yanchuan's number.
"I already know about Lin Zhengguo's matter." Gu Yanchuan's voice was low and emotionless on the other end of the phone.
Lin Chuyue gripped her phone tightly and said in a deep voice, "The most crucial thing now is to find their weakness first, so we can't keep taking hits passively."
Gu Yanchuan narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "We're already investigating."
Lin Chuyue paused for a moment, then slowly said, "...Also, I have a plan."
"explain."
Lin Chuyue took a deep breath, her eyes icy: "We must take the initiative."
She whispered her plan.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yanchuan was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly: "It really was you."
He paused, then his tone suddenly softened: "This time... you have to stand by my side."
Lin Chuyue was slightly taken aback, then chuckled softly: "Don't worry, this time... I won't let you fight them alone."
The two hung up the phone, both knowing the other was wrong.
This game is about to reach its most intense showdown!
