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

The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the light golden curtains, casting two slender silhouettes on the floor.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan got up early, had a simple breakfast and drove to the procuratorate.

When we arrived at the procuratorate, Prosecutor Wang, who was in charge of the case, was already waiting in his office.

He was a man in his late 50s, with a square face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. His serious expression revealed a sense of righteousness.

Gu Jinyan handed over the organized documents, "Prosecutor Wang, these are all the evidence we have collected. I believe they are enough to prove the other party's guilt."

Prosecutor Wang took the document and read it carefully, frowning slightly. After a while, he raised his head and said in a steady tone: "Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, don't worry, we will verify the evidence as soon as possible and prosecute the suspect according to the law."

Coming out of the procuratorate, the bright sunshine sprinkled on her body, dispelling the haze that had been shrouding Su Li's heart for days. The trial of justice is coming soon, and she believes that the law will give them justice.

Things turned out to be far more complicated than they had imagined.

In the evening, Su Li's cell phone ringing suddenly broke the tranquility of the villa.

The caller ID showed that it was Zhang Qiang, the editor-in-chief of City A Evening News.

"Ms. Su, something terrible has happened!" Zhang Qiang's voice was extremely anxious on the other end of the line. "A lot of false reports about you and Mr. Gu have suddenly appeared on the Internet. Public opinion is now very unfavorable to you. You'd better check the Internet immediately!"

Su Li's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She immediately opened the webpage on her mobile phone, and all kinds of sensational headlines instantly filled the entire screen, and the content was even more malicious and distorted. It was unbearable to read.

"Who is it? Who is behind this?!" Su Li's fingers were tightly clenched around the phone, her knuckles turning white, and her tone was filled with anger and confusion.

Gu Jinyan, who was sitting next to her, put his arm around her shoulders, a cold light flashed in his deep eyes, "It seems that we still underestimated the other party's determination..."

After a brief shock, Su Li and Gu Jinyan quickly calmed down. They knew that the most important thing at this moment was to find out the truth and protect the reputation of the Gu family.

"Jin Yan, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take action immediately!" Su Li raised her head with a firm gaze, "We will sue those media outlets that maliciously spread rumors and will not tolerate them!"

Gu Jinyan glanced at her with appreciation and said in a deep voice, "I have arranged for a team of lawyers to handle the matter. I believe there will be a result soon."

In the office of the Procuratorate, Prosecutor Wang put down the documents in his hand, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

He always felt that there seemed to be some unknown secret hidden behind this case...

Prosecutor Wang repeatedly flipped through the documents in his hand, and a feeling of uneasiness spread in his heart.

His intuition told him that this case was far more complicated than it seemed. The accusation of commercial fraud against the vicious female partner was basically confirmed, but some details made him feel that there was something else going on. He decided to dig deeper, perhaps he would find something unexpected.

He retrieved more information, carefully combed through the business activities of the vicious female supporting role over the years, and interviewed some relevant people. As the investigation deepened, a shocking truth gradually surfaced. The vicious female supporting role's crimes were far more than just commercial fraud. She was also suspected of using charities to launder money and was even involved in a disappearance case many years ago!

"It seems that this pool of water is deeper than I thought..." Prosecutor Wang put down the information in his hand and muttered to himself. He realized that he might have accidentally touched upon a huge conspiracy, but he did not back down. Instead, he became more determined to find out the truth.

At the same time, Zhang Qiang, the editor-in-chief of City A Evening News, was also actively working on the issue. He knew that the media had a great responsibility and must not spread rumors. After learning about the online violence suffered by Su Li and Gu Jinyan, he decided to use his power to clear their names.

He personally led the team to investigate, collect evidence, and interview Su Li and Gu Jinyan. After a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of the incident, he was moved by Su Li's kindness and Gu Jinyan's responsibility, and became more determined to speak for them.

"There is only one truth, and we have the responsibility to make it public!" Zhang Qiang gathered the backbone members of the newspaper and said in a firm tone, "We must speak with facts, expose the conspiracy behind the rumors, and give Miss Su and Mr. Gu justice!"

The A City Evening News published a report titled "The Truth Revealed: Who is Manipulating Public Opinion?" at the fastest speed, revealing the whole story of the incident and the personalities of Su Li and Gu Jinyan. As soon as the report came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and public opinion began to reverse. More and more people began to believe that Su Li and Gu Jinyan were innocent, and expressed sympathy and support for them.

The situation did not subside. In the office on the top floor of the Gu Group Building, Gu Jinyan looked at the latest news on his phone with a frown. Although public opinion has begun to improve, this incident still has a significant impact on the reputation of the Gu Group.

What worried him even more was that there was some turmoil within the company... The secretary knocked on the door and reported in a serious tone: "Mr. Gu, Manager Liu from the Marketing Department has resigned..." The secretary's words were like a thunder, exploding in Gu Jinyan's ears. Manager Liu from the Marketing Department was a veteran of the company and had made great contributions to Gu's company. His departure was undoubtedly a huge loss.

"I understand." Gu Jinyan's voice was emotionless. He rubbed his brows, and fatigue surged over him. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the storm was far from over.

Sure enough, in the next few days, people in Gu's company were in a panic, and resignation letters flew to the human resources department like snowflakes. Some partners who had cooperated for many years also began to wait and see and postponed signing contracts, casting a shadow on the originally thriving scene.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death!" Su Li looked at the worried Gu Jinyan and said firmly, "We must take the initiative and tell everyone that the Gu family will not be defeated!"

Gu Jinyan looked at the delicate yet tough woman in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that Su Li had always been his strongest supporter.

The next day, Gu Group held a general staff meeting. The meeting room was packed, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Jinyan and Su Li standing side by side on the podium.

"Dear colleagues, I know that what happened recently has made everyone very uneasy." Gu Jinyan's voice was steady and powerful, "But please believe that Gu's can withstand the test, and we will definitely get through this difficult time!"

He succinctly explained the truth of the incident and announced a series of reform measures, including strengthening the company's internal management, improving financial transparency, setting up an employee complaint channel, etc., in order to enhance the company's credibility.

Su Li then stepped forward, her voice gentle but full of power: "I know that the outside world has many misunderstandings about us, but the innocent will be innocent, and time will prove everything. I believe that as long as we unite, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward!"

Her speech won warm applause, and the haze in the hearts of the employees gradually dissipated. They saw the determination of Gu Jinyan and Su Li, and also saw the hope of Gu's.

Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his expression instantly became serious.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words: "Prison..."

"Hello?...What?!...How could it be...I know." Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, his face turned pale, and the knuckles holding the phone turned white.

Su Li's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"She... is missing." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and hoarse, revealing a hint of disbelief and...anger.

"She? You mean...?" Su Li instantly understood who the "she" he was referring to was.

"The prison said that she found the person missing during a routine check this morning, leaving only a letter..." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "The letter said... she was wronged, everything was..."

He paused, as if reluctant to say the name.

"It's her, right?" Su Li took over his words with a firm tone.

Gu Jinyan closed his eyes and nodded weakly.

This sudden "suicide note" was like a heavy bomb, once again pushing the Gu Group to the forefront. The media swarmed in, surrounding the Gu Building, and all kinds of speculation and doubts came overwhelmingly.

"Mr. Gu, do you have anything to say about this lady's suicide?"

"Mr. Gu, do you admit that there is an improper relationship between you and this lady?"

“Mr. Gu, do you think the crisis of Gu Group is related to the death of this lady?”

Faced with the reporters' aggressive questions, Gu Jinyan said nothing, but just pursed his lips with a cold look in his eyes.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Su Li stepped forward and stood in front of Gu Jinyan. "We understand how you feel, but the police are investigating right now. Please don't speculate. Everything should be based on official announcements!"

However, the media's enthusiasm did not diminish, but instead they asked questions even more frantically.

"Ms. Su, do you believe that this lady was wrongly accused?"

"Ms. Su, are you worried that this incident will affect your relationship with Mr. Gu?"

"Miss Su..."

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan grabbed Su Li's hand and protected her behind him. "This matter has nothing to do with her. Please stop harassing her!"

He turned around, took Su Li's hand, walked through the crowd, and went straight into the elevator.

The elevator door slowly closed, blocking out the noisy sounds outside. In the small space, only he and she were left.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Su Li gently held his hand and felt the coldness of his palm.

Gu Jinyan looked at the always gentle and determined woman in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what happened, she would be by his side.

"Let's... go back." He whispered, "Some things should be resolved at this time."

Back in the Gu family's old house, in the study, under the dim light, Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat face to face, with documents and account books piled in front of them.

"These are all..." Su Li picked up a document and started flipping through it.

"The Gu family's financial statements over the years and...some important contracts." Gu Jinyan rubbed his brows, his tone tired.

"You suspect..." Su Li raised her head, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"I just want to figure out what's behind all this..." Before Gu Jinyan could finish his words, the documents in Su Li's hand suddenly slipped and scattered all over the floor.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan asked.

Su Li did not answer, but just stared at one of the documents with wide eyes in disbelief...
