Luo Tingxuan's warning still echoed in her ears, but Lin Chuyue's thoughts became even clearer.
There must be some unknown connection between the Luo family and the Gu family, otherwise Luo Tingxuan would not have made a special appointment to meet with her, much less put down his arrogant attitude to "advise" her.
She doesn't like to wait passively.
To break the deadlock, we must first acquire more information.
……
Gu Yanchuan's attitude
The next day, after finishing her business at the company, Lin Chuyue took the initiative to call Gu Yanchuan.
The phone rang a few times before being answered, and Gu Yanchuan's deep voice came through: "What, missing me?"
Lin Chuyue said calmly, "I need to talk to you."
Gu Yanchuan seemed to smile: "Oh? Miss Lin is being so formal, it seems this isn't just casual conversation?"
“Luo Tingxuan contacted me yesterday,” she said directly.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by his meaningful voice: "What did he say to you?"
"You told me not to interfere in your affairs." Lin Chuyue's gaze darkened slightly. "So, should I just listen to you?"
Gu Yanchuan chuckled softly, his voice low and husky: "What do you think?"
Lin Chuyue narrowed her eyes, her tone probing: "Gu Yanchuan, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Gu Yanchuan did not answer directly, but sighed softly: "Luo Tingxuan is a smart man. The fact that he was able to find you means... some things really can't be hidden anymore."
"For example?" Lin Chuyue pressed.
Gu Yanchuan paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak: "For example... the deal between the Luo family and the Gu family."
Lin Chuyue was shocked. Just as she thought!
"What deal?" Her gaze turned slightly cold, and a sense of foreboding crept into her heart.
Gu Yanchuan did not answer immediately, but slowly said, "The Luo family has always wanted to interfere in the core business of the Gu family, and I am their breakthrough point."
Lin Chuyue frowned slightly.
"You are a major shareholder of the Gu family, why does Luo Tingxuan think you will compromise?" she asked, puzzled.
Gu Yanchuan chuckled softly: "What if someone uses you as a bargaining chip?"
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, and she gripped her phone tightly: "What do you mean?"
“Luo Tingxuan is looking for you not just to warn you, but to test your bottom line.” Gu Yanchuan’s voice was deep. “He wants to know what you really care about.”
Lin Chuyue's mind raced, and she instantly understood—
Luo Tingxuan wasn't simply threatening her; he was observing her reactions and trying to find her weakness.
Her weakness is that she cares too much about this game!
If she shows weakness, Luo Tingxuan will use her as a bargaining chip even more recklessly; conversely, if she responds forcefully, it may lead to a more intense confrontation.
"So, what exactly does he want?" Lin Chuyue asked coldly.
Gu Yanchuan paused for a moment, then slowly said, "He wants me to support the Luo family's capital investment in the next board meeting."
Lin Chuyue's gaze darkened slightly.
"Will you say yes?" she asked.
Gu Yanchuan chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "If I agree, will you give up on continuing the investigation?"
Lin Chuyue curled her lips into a smile, her tone indifferent: "Gu Yanchuan, you should know very well that I am not such an obedient person."
The man on the other end of the phone sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of indulgence: "Of course I know."
He paused, then said meaningfully, "But you should also know that Luo Tingxuan... is not Shen Fang. He is much more difficult to deal with than Shen Fang."
Lin Chuyue felt a slight chill run down her spine.
Of course she knows.
Luo Tingxuan is not like Shen Fang, who rose to power through scheming and plotting. He is the rightful ruler, and his methods are more covert and forceful. He can even bring people under his control without personally taking action.
But Lin Chuyue also knew—
If Luo Tingxuan really wants to use her as a bargaining chip, then she must take the initiative and turn herself into an uncontrollable variable!
……
An unexpected "invitation"
Just as Lin Chuyue was pondering how to retaliate against Luo Tingxuan, she received a special invitation.
It was sent by Luo Yurou.
[Miss Lin, my brother would like to invite you to a dinner party tomorrow night at 8 PM at Wangjiang Villa. We hope you can join us.]
Lin Chuyue looked at the message, her eyes flickering slightly.
Luo Tingxuan actually came to my door again?
She smiled and replied with two words—
[Arrived as promised.]
She wanted to see what tricks Luo Tingxuan was up to this time...
