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

Chapter 142 The clouds clear and the fog disperses

That evening, Gu's Group's official website and social media accounts simultaneously released an announcement titled "Clarification and Statement on Recent False Online Rumors." In the announcement, Gu's Group responded in detail to recent online questions about the fraud of its charity projects.

The announcement was accompanied by a large amount of evidence, including the destination of each donation, information about the recipients, detailed records of project progress, etc. All information is open and transparent and can be accessed by anyone. In addition to the text description, Gu Group also released a series of videos recording the various charitable activities the company participated in. The gratitude and smiles of the recipients are the best proof.

At the same time, the head of a charity organization that has been cooperating with Gu's Group also issued a statement, expressing high recognition and support for Gu's Group's charity work over the years. The head said that Gu's Group's use of donations is standardized, the project is implemented efficiently, and it has truly helped many people in need.

Public opinion on the Internet began to change. Amid the overwhelming skepticism, many voices of support and understanding emerged. People began to reflect on whether they were blinded by the out-of-context information on the Internet.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li did not relax their vigilance because of their temporary victory. They knew that this was only the first step. The real battle would take place tomorrow night, at the much-anticipated charity gala.

"Are you ready?" Gu Jinyan looked at Su Li, who was wearing a simple dress beside him, with tenderness in his eyes.

"Of course." Su Li responded with a firm smile, "Let's go together and reveal the truth."

That night, the charity gala was star-studded, with celebrities from all walks of life gathered together. Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage, where the gala host was about to announce the next program. However, there was an unnatural look on his face, his eyes flickered, as if he had something difficult to say...

The host took a deep breath, his hand holding the microphone trembling slightly. His eyes swept across the audience, and finally landed on Su Li and Gu Jinyan. Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he slowly spoke, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice: "Before announcing the next program, I want to apologize to... to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. Everyone looked at this scene in disbelief, wondering why the host, who was always smooth and tactful, would suddenly apologize to Gu Jinyan and his wife.

The host continued under tremendous pressure, "Some time ago, regarding the online public opinion incident about the Gu Group's charity project, I caused unnecessary trouble to Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu due to my improper on-site handling. I am deeply sorry." He bowed deeply to express his apology.

"At the same time, I also want to announce something to the public." The host stood up, his eyes became firm, "After police investigation, this online public opinion incident was not accidental, but a premeditated, organized malicious defamation incident. The mastermind behind it is an Internet celebrity who used false information and inflammatory remarks to deliberately discredit the reputation of the Gu Group. His behavior has violated the law and he has been detained according to law. He will be severely punished by law."

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience. People were talking about it and were shocked by the sudden news.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and a trace of relief flashed in each other's eyes. They knew that this journey was not easy, but they finally defeated the lies and won the truth.

Gu Jinyan gently held Su Li's hand and gave her a reassuring look. He knew that this was not over yet, but they had already gone through the most difficult time.

The host looked at the audience, raised his voice, and continued: "The truth may be late, but it will never be absent! Thank you all for coming tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, the door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure stumbled in... The door of the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open, and a figure stumbled in. Everyone looked sideways, and saw that the person was disheveled and haggard. It was the Internet celebrity who spread rumors on the Internet before. He looked around in panic, as if he was looking for something. Finally, his eyes fell on Su Li and Gu Jinyan in the center of the stage.

He stumbled onto the stage, grabbed the host's arm, and shouted incoherently: "No...it's not me! Those words...those words were forced to me by others! Someone paid me to deliberately discredit the Gu Group!"

His words were like thunder that exploded in the silent banquet hall. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief at the scene before them.

Gu Jinyan took a step forward, stared at him sharply, and asked in a deep voice: "Who ordered you to do that?"

The Internet celebrity shrank back, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to look directly at Gu Jinyan. "I... I can't say it, they will kill me if I say it!"

"What are you afraid of now?" Su Li's voice was cold and firm. "You have made a mistake. Now the only way to make up for it is to tell the truth."

The Internet celebrity hesitated for a moment, and finally seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... yes..."

Before he could finish his words, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed and there was a commotion among the crowd.

"What's going on? Is there a power outage?"

"Security! Where is the security?"

Just when everyone was panicking, the internet celebrity on the stage suddenly let out a scream, and then there was no movement.

When the lights came back on, everyone discovered that the internet celebrity had fallen to the ground, unconscious.

Gu Jinyan's face suddenly darkened. He walked quickly to the internet celebrity, sniffed his breath, then stood up, glanced sharply at the crowd around him, and said in a cold tone: "It seems that some people don't want him to speak..." Gu Jinyan's cold voice echoed in the banquet hall, and every word seemed to hit everyone's heart. Su Li held his hand, silently passing on strength. She knew that what Gu Jinyan needed at this moment was not panic, but calmness and decisiveness.

"Jin Yan, we have obtained a lot of evidence. It's time to take the initiative." Su Li's voice was calm and firm, with wisdom flashing in his eyes.

Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li's determined eyes, and the haze in his heart dissipated a little. "You are right, we can't wait passively anymore." He took a deep breath, with unquestionable determination in his tone, "I will make those who hide in the dark pay the price they deserve."

A carefully planned conspiracy was smashed by Su Li and Gu Jinyan. The fall of the Internet celebrity became their clarion call for counterattack. Gu Jinyan used his powerful resources and connections to quickly launch an investigation, while Su Li connected all the clues with his keen insight and calm analytical ability, gradually revealing the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes.

A few days later, Gu's Group issued an announcement, announcing that it would hold an industry summit and invited all partners and media to attend. This announcement immediately caused an uproar. Everyone knew that Gu's Group was going to face the challenge head-on and completely resolve the crisis.

On the day of the summit, the entire venue was packed with people, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn. Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the stage, waiting for Gu Jinyan's speech.

"Dear guests, thank you all for coming today." Gu Jinyan's voice was steady and powerful, with a strong aura. "Recently, I believe everyone has heard some false rumors about my company and me. Today, I will reveal the truth here in front of everyone."

Video clips and recordings began to play on the big screen. These were the evidence collected by Gu Jinyan and Su Li, clearly recording how competitors used despicable means to try to discredit the Gu Group and destroy their partnership.

As the evidence continued to be presented, the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became tense. Some partners who had originally been on the sidelines began to waver at this moment. They had not thought that they had been deceived for so long.

"These evidences are sufficient to prove that our company and I are both victims of this malicious defamation." Gu Jinyan's voice was sonorous and powerful, "And those behind the scenes, in order to achieve their own goals, did not hesitate to damage the interests of the industry and disrupt the market order. Their actions have seriously violated business ethics and laws and regulations!"

His eyes swept across the audience and finally stopped at a corner. There sat a thin man with a pale face and evasive eyes. He was Zhao Tianming, the president of Zhao Group, the biggest competitor of Gu Group.

"Mr. Zhao, do you have anything else to say about these evidences?"
