After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

On the top floor of Gu's Building, in front of the French window of the CEO's office, Gu Jinyan stood tall and straight, like a sculpture. His brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of fatigue in his deep eyes, but it could not conceal the innate aura of a king.

On the desk, Su Li was anxiously browsing the news on the web. Every time she refreshed the page, more negative news about Gu Jinyan emerged. The headlines were eye-catching, and the content was even more shocking, like a sharp blade, piercing her heart.

"These media outlets have absolutely no bottom line!" Su Li angrily slammed her phone on the table, her delicate face full of worry, "How can they trample on a person's reputation so wantonly just to attract attention?!"

"Don't worry, Li'er." Gu Jinyan walked to her side, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and said in a gentle but firm tone, "The innocent will be innocent. I believe the law will give me justice."

At this time, the public relations manager hurriedly pushed the door open and reported with a serious face: "Boss Gu, it's bad. The opponent has released another edited video. Now the public opinion on the Internet is even more difficult to control!"

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "What did the lawyer say?"

"The legal team is collecting evidence and preparing to file a lawsuit." The PR manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety. "However, the impact of these negative news on the company has begun to show. The stock price..."

"I understand. You continue to pay attention to public opinion trends and try your best to minimize the negative impact." Gu Jinyan's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.

The PR manager took the order and left, and the office returned to silence. Gu Jinyan looked out the window, his eyes deep, as if he could see through the layers of fog and see the truth of the matter.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Su Li suddenly spoke up, with a determined light in his eyes, "We must take the initiative and find the mastermind behind this!"

Gu Jinyan turned around and looked at Su Li, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He knew that Su Li was no longer the weak and helpless little girl, she had grown into a woman who could stand on her own, a partner who could fight side by side with him.

"Do you have any idea?"

"I..." Su Li was about to speak, but was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door.

"Come in."

The lawyer pushed the door open, holding a document in his hand, and said solemnly: "Mr. Gu, we have new discoveries..."

The lawyer took a deep breath, handed the document in his hand to Gu Jinyan, and said in a deep voice: "We found out that the rival company registered a shell company specifically for spreading rumors and manipulating public opinion."

Gu Jinyan took the document, glanced through it quickly, and his face became even gloomier. Su Li's heart also tightened. She knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and the opponent's methods were far more sinister and vicious than they had imagined.

"We must find solid evidence as soon as possible and bring them to justice!" Gu Jin said in a firm tone, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The lawyer nodded and said solemnly: "I have arranged for someone to investigate the background of this shell company. I believe there will be results soon."

However, the length and complexity of the legal process was beyond Su Li and Gu Jinyan's imagination. As time went by, the company's stock price continued to fall, the employees were panicked, and all kinds of negative news were rampant, like an invisible giant net that tightly enveloped them.

"We can't go on like this!" Su Li looked at the worried Gu Jinyan, feeling extremely anxious. "We can't put all our hopes on lawyers. We must take the initiative and find a breakthrough!"

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and patted it gently, with a hint of fatigue in his tone, "I know, I have arranged for people to contact some people in the industry, hoping to get some valuable clues."

However, a few days passed and they still found nothing. Just when Su Li and Gu Jinyan were feeling desperate, Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?" Gu Jinyan answered the phone with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a low and mysterious tone: "Mr. Gu, I know who is behind this..."

Gu Jinyan's heart was shocked, and he quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"If you want to know the truth, come to..." The other party's voice suddenly stopped, and only the busy tone remained on the phone.

The sudden hang-up on the other end of the phone made Gu Jinyan's heart hang in the air. He anxiously dialed the number again, but only heard a cold prompt tone: "The number you dialed is invalid..."

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed that Gu Jinyan was acting strangely and asked worriedly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, put down the phone, and frowned: "Someone just called and said he knew who was behind this, but before I could ask clearly, the call was hung up."

Su Li's heart was also lifted. Was it a trap set by a competitor? Or was someone trying to take advantage of the situation? Various speculations swirled in her mind, making her feel uneasy.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's phone rang again, this time it was an unfamiliar number. Gu Jinyan hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Gu, I'm the waiter who served you at XX Bar before," the other party's voice was a little nervous, "I accidentally heard something about your company, and I thought you would like to know..."

Gu Jinyan's heart was shocked. Could it be that this waiter was the key witness they had been looking for?

"You talk, I'm listening." Gu Jinyan's voice unconsciously carried a hint of urgency.

The waiter took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "That night, I heard a few men talking about how to bring down the Gu Group. They mentioned a man named 'Black Hawk' and said he was the mastermind behind the scenes..."

"Black Hawk?" Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other. They had never heard of this name.

"Yes, they said that 'Black Hawk' is ruthless and has his hands full with both the black and white worlds. He is a well-known ruthless character in the business world." The waiter's tone was full of fear. "I also heard them say that they have obtained a lot of confidential information about the Gu Group. As long as the time is right, they will launch a fatal attack on the Gu Group..."

Gu Jinyan's heart sank suddenly. It seemed that their situation was more dangerous than he had imagined.

"Can you tell me more details? For example, who they are, what they look like, and any other information?" Su Li asked anxiously.

The waiter recalled for a moment and continued, "They all looked very rich. One of the men had a very obvious scar on his face..."

Before the waiter could finish his words, there was a sudden burst of noise from the other end of the line, followed by a scream, and then the call was disconnected.

Gu Jinyan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over him. He immediately realized that the waiter might be in danger!

"Quick, check the source of this number!" Gu Jinyan ordered the assistant beside him.

The assistant acted quickly, but a few minutes later, he returned to Gu Jinyan with a serious face and whispered, "Boss Gu, this number is a public phone..."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li's expressions suddenly became even uglier.

"What should we do now?" There was a hint of trembling in Su Li's voice.

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand tightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "No matter what, we must find this waiter. He holds the key to revealing the truth!"
