Chapter 644 Between Truth and Falsehood, No One Believes
The night wind was biting. Lin Chuyue stood quietly on the balcony of the safe house, clutching the "forged letter from her mother" tightly in her hand.
Gu Yanchuan stood behind her and said in a deep voice, "We have confirmed that the person is a Class D experimental subject of the 'Multiple Personality Simulator' project, numbered D-74. His memory data source comes from the private database left behind by Shen Fang."
“In other words…” Lin Chuyue said in a low voice, “They used my mother’s and father’s information to create an ‘ideal father’ and wanted to use this emotion to destroy my last bit of rationality.”
Gu Yanchuan nodded, his tone even colder: "Lin Yun personally getting involved shows that Shen Yanli is in a hurry."
"You are the biggest variable in their plan."
Lin Chuyue scoffed, a cold glint in her eyes: "They want to create a 'personality breakdown'? Too bad, I'm not Shen Fang. Nor am I the Lin Chuyue from my previous life who only knew how to cry."
“I will personally tear open their laboratory and see how they ‘replicate humanity’ batch by batch.”
**
Meanwhile, in the underground experimental area of the sanatorium in the western suburbs, Lin Yun was watching the surveillance playback.
She smashed a cup of coffee.
"She can't even handle a Class D experimental subject? Has her vigilance evolved to this level?"
The technical director cautiously stated, "We've considered raising the 'intrusion level' and using an S-level project—to cause a 'personality swap' even in the person Lin Chuyue trusts most."
Lin Yun sneered: "You mean... Li Zhanchuan?"
"He was her deepest obsession."
The technician whispered, "We're already preparing a replacement. His data is more complete than Xu Jingnan's and Lin Zhengguo's."
"We're just one key breakthrough away—that's emotional fluctuation data."
Lin Yun's eyes flashed.
“She never shows her true emotions in front of us… unless—she thinks she has completely lost Li Zhanchuan.”
She turned and looked at another projection on the screen.
That contained Li Zhanchuan's entire whereabouts, health records, family relationships, and even psychological test records from his childhood over the past five years.
A cold smile slowly crept onto her lips.
"Then let her...lose it once."
**
three days later.
Lin Chuyue received an anonymous package during the meeting; the envelope contained a notebook.
The first page reads:
"Miss Lin, are you aware that the man you trust most is secretly making deals with Shen Yanli behind your back?"
"Address: 46th Floor, Xinghai Building, Dongcheng District, 9 PM tonight."
"Go see for yourself, and you'll see that he has already betrayed us."
Lin Chuyue's first reaction was "trap," but her fingers involuntarily clenched.
She calmly took photos of everything and sent them to Gu Yanchuan: "I need you to confirm who this person is at this address."
But she set off without waiting for Gu Yanchuan's reply.
She knew it was a setup.
She knew even more that this was a test of her last line of defense.
But she had to go.
If she can't even tell the truth from the lies of the people she trusts most, she will lose everything.
**
At 9 p.m., Lin Chuyue arrived at Xinghai Building on time.
She wore a dark trench coat, a headset, and a miniature camera, remaining vigilant with every step.
The lights on the 46th floor were dim, and the door to a conference room was ajar.
She gently pushed it open, and the moment she saw it, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
——Li Zhanchuan.
He had his back to her and was speaking in a low voice to an indistinct man:
"...Lin Chuyue is a variable; she knows too much."
"According to the plan, we must eliminate her."
Lin Chuyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
She looked at him in disbelief: "Li Zhanchuan?"
The man slowly turned around, his face still bearing the familiar features, but his expression was colder than ever before.
"How did you come?"
Lin Chuyue forced herself to remain calm and narrowed her eyes: "You just said you wanted to get rid of me?"
Who are you trading with?
"who are you?"
"Are you—Li Zhanchuan?"
The man laughed coldly: "Why don't you trust me at all?"
Aren't we the closest of friends?
"Or are you saying you were planning to be wary of me from the very beginning?"
He drew closer step by step, but Lin Chuyue had already confirmed it—
This is not Li Zhanchuan.
The look in his eyes is not right.
The tone is inappropriate.
That wasn't the deep gentleness she was familiar with, nor was it any suppressed anger. This person was simply "imitating."
She suddenly pulled out a knife hidden in her sleeve and held it against the other person's neck.
Tell me, who are you?
The man snorted coldly, suddenly retreated violently, smashed through the window and leaped out. He was then hoisted up by a rope and disappeared into the night.
Lin Chuyue rushed to the window, but the figure had already disappeared.
At that moment, Gu Yanchuan's voice came through the earpiece:
"Chuyue, be careful! Li Zhanchuan was just attacked on Yuanxi Road and has been sent to a secret hospital for treatment."
Lin Chuyue's heart skipped a beat, and she almost staggered back a step.
"He was attacked?"
"When?"
"An hour ago," Gu Yanchuan said in a low voice, "Where are you now?"
Lin Chuyue raised her eyes, her gaze revealing an unprecedented coldness.
"Xinghai Building".
“They wanted me to see a ‘traitor’ and then… shatter my trust in Li Zhanchuan.”
Unfortunately, they overestimated 'copying' and underestimated 'emotion'.
**
When Lin Chuyue arrived at the hospital, Li Zhanchuan was still unconscious.
He had a scar on his face, an IV drip in his side, and was pale but quiet.
She walked to his bedside, and the moment she took his hand, tears finally streamed down her face.
“I’ve always known that it wasn’t you.”
"Because only you will silently watch over me when I'm afraid."
"Only you would never say a word about me behind my back."
She lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "Wake up."
"We must also work together to tear those 'fake souls' to shreds."
**
The next day, Li Zhanchuan woke up.
Lin Chuyue immediately told him about the appearance of the "fake Li Zhanchuan".
The man's eyes instantly darkened.
“They want to undermine you, and the next step... might be to try to reach out to contacts outside of us.”
Lin Chuyue frowned: "Lin Zhengguo."
Li Zhanchuan said in a deep voice, "He hasn't shown up yet, not because he's innocent, but because... he may have already fallen into their hands."
"The next move will be played on the real Lin Zhengguo."
Lin Chuyue nodded slowly, her gaze turning completely cold.
"Then let him walk out of the shadows on his own."
"This time, I want him to tell me himself—just how many lies are still hidden in the Lin family's secrets?"
