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

The afterglow of the setting sun poured into the office through the French windows, casting two long shadows on the floor. Su Li read the email again and again, and every word was like the letter of a poisonous snake, licking her heart and stirring up waves of chills.

"The company has been running well recently, so how could there be such an email?" Gu Jin's tone revealed a hint of doubt, but more of it was vigilance.

"I don't know either." Su Li shook her head, feeling increasingly uneasy. "But I always feel that the appearance of this email is not accidental. Maybe..."

She didn't say anything more, but Gu Jinyan understood what she meant. The couple worked together and finally brought the Gu Group back to life. They were about to return to the top, but the appearance of this email was like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, pulling them back to reality from the joy of victory.

The content of the email was very simple, with only one sentence: "I know what you have done, be careful of your company." There was no signature or any other information. It was like it was sent from hell, full of unknown threats.

"Don't worry, I will find out everything." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand with a firm look in his eyes, "No matter who is behind this, I will not let him go."

Su Li nodded, and held Gu Jinyan's hand with her backhand, trying to draw strength from his warm palm. Outside the window, the setting sun dyed the sky blood red, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm...

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the office door, and the assistant's voice rang out: "Mr. Gu, Director Su, the board of directors has notified us that an emergency meeting will be held at 7pm. Please be sure to attend."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and an ominous premonition spread in their hearts. The board of directors held an emergency meeting at this critical juncture. Could it be that something went wrong within the company?

"I understand." Gu Jinyan responded in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "We'll go there right away." He turned to look at Su Li with a firm look in his eyes, "Let's not make this matter public for now, and investigate secretly to see who is behind this."

Su Li nodded, holding the email tightly in her palm, her knuckles turning white. The two walked out of the office in a hurry. The lights in the corridor stretched their figures out, but there was no warmth, instead, it set off a sense of oppression that was about to come.

"Do you feel that..." Su Li lowered her voice and leaned close to Gu Jinyan's ear, "This email seems to be..."

She didn't finish her words, but Gu Jinyan already understood what she meant, and his face darkened: "You mean, it's related to 'it'?"

"You mean, it's related to 'it'?" Gu Jinyan repeated Su Li's words in a low voice, his brows tightly locked together.

"It" is a taboo between them, a past that they don't want to mention. A few years ago, Gu's Group suffered a major commercial secret leak, which almost led to the company's bankruptcy. The source of the leak was an important technical patent developed within the company - the "Intelligent Core System". Although they finally kept the patent, the leaker seemed to have disappeared and has not been found yet.

"But, hasn't the 'Intelligent Core System' been sealed by us? How could it be..." Su Li's heart was full of doubts.

"This matter is probably not that simple." Gu Jinyan's tone was solemn, "Although the 'Intelligent Core System' has been sealed, the core technology is still there. If someone wants to use it..." He paused and did not continue, but the meaning was self-evident.

The atmosphere in the conference room was extremely dull. The directors all looked grim, staring at the financial statements in their hands without saying a word.

"Boss Gu, Director Su, I believe you have seen the current situation." An elderly director was the first to break the silence, with a hint of blame in his tone, "The company's stock price has fluctuated abnormally recently, and there have been many rumors in the market that are unfavorable to us. Is this related to the anonymous email?"

Gu Jinyan and Su Li exchanged glances and decided to temporarily conceal the specific content of the email from the directors.

"Please rest assured, directors. We have already begun investigating the matter and believe that the truth will soon come to light." Gu Jin's tone was calm, but it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

After the meeting, Gu Jinyan and Su Li immediately called together the company's top management, told them the truth, and asked for a thorough investigation. As soon as the news came out, the company was in an uproar.

"What? Someone in the company leaked secrets again?"

"It's been several years, why are there still people planning to use the 'Intelligent Core System'?"

"We must find this person and not let him endanger the company again!"

……

What made Su Li and Gu Jinyan feel relieved was that after learning about this situation, the company’s employees expressed their willingness to assist in the investigation.

"Mr. Gu, Director Su, don't worry, we will fully cooperate and find out the mastermind behind this!" said a company employee representative firmly.

Looking at the faces full of justice and anger, Su Li and Gu Jinyan felt a warm current in their hearts. They knew that the Gu Group could come to where it is today not only relying on advanced technology and strong capital, but more importantly, it was the people's hearts and the loyalty and love of all employees for the company.

Late at night, the lights in Gu Jinyan's study were still on. Su Li sat beside him, looking at the strings of codes displayed on the computer screen, frowning. After several days of investigation, they had basically determined that the sender of this anonymous email was indeed related to the leak of the "Intelligent Core System".

"Found it!" Gu Jinyan suddenly exclaimed, pointing at an IP address on the screen, "That's it!"

Su Li quickly moved closer and found that this was a...Su Li and Gu Jinyan's eyes were fixed on the computer screen. Lines of code were scrolling rapidly like a waterfall. They were carrying out the final tracking.

Finally, all the clues came together and pointed to a server address located overseas.

"Found it!" There was a hint of excitement in Gu Jinyan's tone, but more of it was solemnity.

"Overseas servers?" Su Li's heart tightened. "It seems that this opponent is more difficult than we thought."

Gu Jinyan nodded and quickly dialed a number, saying in a serious and decisive tone, "I'm Gu Jinyan, I need you to help me find an overseas server address immediately..."

While Gu Jinyan was contacting the police and related agencies, Su Li was also busy. She mobilized all her technical resources to try to break through the server's firewall and get more information. However, the other party's technical level was obviously not to be underestimated, and the firewall was indestructible. Every attempt by Su Li ended in failure.

Time passed minute by minute, and Gu Jinyan finally finished his call.

"How is it?" Su Li asked anxiously.

"I have contacted the local police and related agencies. They will fully assist us in the investigation." Gu Jinyan's tone was a little tired, but his eyes were still firm. "I believe there will be results soon."

However, the process of waiting for the result is always long and agonizing. Su Li and Gu Jinyan can only continue to track the clues while anxiously waiting for news from the police.

Finally, after a long wait, Gu Jinyan's cell phone rang.

"Hello, hello, I'm Gu Jinyan...What? Any news?" There was a hint of surprise in Gu Jinyan's tone.

Su Li's heart also rose to her throat, and she stared at Gu Jinyan closely, afraid to miss any word.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there right away." Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, a gleam in his eyes, and said to Su Li, "Let's go to the police station. The police have made an important discovery."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan immediately drove to the police station, where they met the officer in charge of the case.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, according to our investigation, this server address is indeed related to the leak of the 'Intelligent Core System'." The police officer pointed to the information displayed on the computer screen and said, "In addition, we have found some other clues..."

Before the police officer finished speaking, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his face changed slightly, and he motioned for the police officer to wait for a moment, then walked aside to answer the call.

"Hey?"

"Gu Jinyan, long time no see..." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, as creepy as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. It was the voice of the vicious female supporting role, "Why, are you surprised? I tell you, this is just the beginning, and a bigger crisis is still to come..."

The phone was suddenly hung up, and Gu Jinyan's face became extremely ugly, with a sharp cold light flashing in his eyes. Gu Jinyan held the phone, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were filled with cold anger. That voice, like a nightmare, has been lingering in his heart and lingering. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, turned to the police officer and said, "Sorry, I have some personal matters to deal with."

"It's okay, Mr. Gu, you can go ahead and do your work. We will inform you as soon as there is any progress." The police officer expressed his understanding.

Su Li's heart was also hanging. She keenly realized that Gu Jinyan's change was related to the phone call. She didn't ask any more questions, but just followed Gu Jinyan silently and walked out of the police station.

"Who called?" Sitting in the car, Su Li finally couldn't help asking.

Gu Jinyan was silent for a moment, a complex look flashed across his deep eyes, and finally he spoke slowly: "It's...Lin Wan'er."

Lin Wan'er, once Gu Jinyan's fiancée, was also Su Li's rival in love during her school days. She was ruthless and would do anything to get Gu Jinyan, but in the end, she ended up in disgrace because of her own conspiracy.

"She...what does she want to do?" Su Li felt uneasy.

"She said that this is just the beginning and a bigger crisis is yet to come." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and hoarse, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

Su Li's heart sank. She knew that Lin Wan'er's words were definitely not alarmist. This woman was like a poisonous snake, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity. Once she found an opportunity, she would not hesitate to give a fatal blow.

"What should we do now?" Su Li asked, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth." A gleam of determination flashed in Gu Jinyan's eyes. "I have already notified the company to strengthen security, and will also arrange personnel to secretly investigate Lin Wan'er's movements. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must take the initiative to resolve this crisis."

Su Li nodded in agreement. She believed in Gu Jinyan's ability and believed that they could overcome the difficulties together.

The gears of fate turned quietly at this moment, pushing them into an even more unknown abyss. Just as they returned to the company and prepared to hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, the company's door was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in front of them.

"Jin Yan, long time no see..." The woman had a charming smile on her face, but her tone was full of provocation. It was Lin Wan'er.
