PDLP Chapter 540 Trial of the Truth
Chapter 540 Trial of the Truth
At four in the morning, the wind and rain soaked the entire city, but couldn't dispel the chill in the command center. Having just uncovered the mystery of the "LZY" account theft, the Lin Group was already rife with deeper rifts. At this moment, the group's IT and legal departments were jointly conducting final technical and legal evidence gathering, preparing to end this standoff over the truth as dawn broke.
?
I. Dual locking via fingerprint and card number
IT manager Zhou Yuan typed on the keyboard, and key logs and card number records were displayed on the projector:
1. Account Login Log: The LZY (Lin Yun) account logged in from the main server room at 1:13 AM and downloaded the "argument video" file three times.
2. 门禁卡记录：当日凌晨1:12至1:20，门禁系统检测到卡号“MK-0921”进入直播控制室，该卡仅发放给林韵。
Attorney Lee, the legal representative, added, "We have submitted this double evidence to the Supervisory Commission and the judicial authorities, and any objections will be completely rejected."
Lin Yun's face turned from white to green, but she stubbornly said, "That was just a document I used to prepare for Chu Yue's emergency drills. I was trying to simulate a media attack scenario, and I had absolutely no intention of leaking secrets!"
Lin Chuyue sneered: "Drill? You didn't even inform me and the IT department beforehand, and you skipped the standard procedures before putting the 'drill materials' on the public drive. Do you really think we're all idiots!"
?
II. Father and daughter estranged again
Lin Zhengguo returned to the boardroom and, seeing the almost unanimous condemnation, felt an overwhelming urge to speak out. He rushed forward to defend Lin Yun:
"Everyone, don't worry, this is just a misunderstanding! Yun'er has always been loyal to the family, Chuyue, please don't pressure her anymore!"
The board members glared at him coldly, and the long-time shareholder, Director Zhang, retorted without hesitation: "President Lin, is it necessary for you to be so biased about misunderstandings within the family? From the 'Scepter Clause' to the 'Sinking Sand Plan' and now, your father-daughter collusion has brought shame upon the group!"
Taking the opportunity, Lin Yun cried out, "Dad, are you on their side? You don't even look at my efforts and loyalty!"
Lin Zhengguo's face twisted in pain as he whispered, "I just..."
Lin Chuyue stepped forward and said sternly, "Dad, if you really care about the family, you only need to do one thing—publicly declare that all of Lin Yun's operations were not approved by the board of directors, and also publicly review your secret transfers to 'Tianyao Emergency' last year. Otherwise, stop talking about the 'family'!"
Lin Zhengguo staggered back, trembling all over, but unable to refute.

III. Tang Nian's unwavering loyalty
Outside the office, Tang Nian was working with the IT department to examine the last section of source code. She gripped her phone tightly, her heart filled with anguish: she had once let Lin Yun succeed because of a moment of carelessness, and now she had pushed the father and daughter into the abyss because of a single sentence.
Lin Chuyue suddenly came to her side, her tone gentle yet firm:
"Tang Nian, I need you by my side tonight. You're always my most reliable comrade-in-arms."
Tang Nian looked up, tears welling in her eyes, and nodded: "President Lin, I will no longer let anyone use me as a scapegoat. I will personally explain the truth about the source code during the live broadcast and publish the download logs—it was all Lin Yun's doing."
?
IV. Gu Yanchuan's Trial
Meanwhile, in the emergency conference room of the Gu Group, Gu Yanchuan faced his father and the CR representative, launching a final offensive and defensive maneuver:
"CR's targeted funds have never been used for any illegal transactions by the Lin family; regarding the internal kickbacks from the Gu family, I have initiated an internal audit and have made the results public to the regulatory authorities. If you continue to spread rumors, you are maliciously damaging the entire investment environment!"
The CR representative's face was grim: "You want to make it public? Then let's see if your so-called 'audit results' are up to par!"
Gu Yonghui suddenly interjected, "Son, I support you! Whether it's the Lin family or the Gu family, if anyone tries to manipulate the market with rumors again, we will present the evidence and take them to court!"
Gu Yanchuan's gaze was firm: "I will sue Cheng Yi and CR to the very end."
?
V. Reconstruction after fracture
At dawn, the members of the trust management committee gathered again. Lin Chuyue stood in the center, her expression weary but incredibly resolute.
"Today's truth is the final test for the family and the business. The darkness and lies of the past have caused us to lose too much trust; from now on, I hope that every penny and every decision will be made transparently. If you cannot accept this, then please prepare to leave this team!"
The entire room fell silent once more, followed by thunderous applause—an affirmation of her courage and sincerity, and a complete rejection of Lin Yun's series of underhanded schemes.
Lin Yun's face turned ashen. She finally stood up from her seat and loudly declared war:
"Chuyue, you can't win! How sharp do you think the truth is? It will only hurt others and yourself! I will come back and teach you the most painful lesson!"
After saying this, she left angrily with a few supporters, leaving behind a heated discussion.
?
end:
As dawn broke, the rain outside the window stopped, and a sliver of light shone from the east.
Lin Chuyue walked to the French windows, gazed at the brightening sky, and exhaled a long breath. Behind her, Gu Yanchuan and Tang Nian stood side by side, while Shen Yanyan's gaze was fixed on the distance.
"This city once tested our bottom line with lies; now, we will rebuild its order with the truth."
She spoke softly, her eyes flashing with a resolute determination like a blood-red dawn.
The undercurrents that had been brewing have temporarily receded after this trial of the truth—leaving behind the dawn a vast space for reshaping and reflection.
