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

Gu Jinyan's face was solemn. The expert's words echoed in his ears, like a thunderclap. There was such a huge hidden danger hidden inside the company! He stood up suddenly and strode towards the French window. The bustling city night scene also lost its color in his eyes.

Su Li sat quietly, tapping her fingers on the table, analyzing the information provided by the experts in her mind. She knew that this storm came suddenly, but it was not without signs. The recent fluctuations in the company's performance and the unusual activity of competitors seemed to hint at something.

"Mr. Gu, Ms. Su, I have successfully tracked down some of the intruders' IP addresses." A young hacker broke the silence. His fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard, and a series of codes and data appeared on the screen. "These addresses have been disguised, but they still left some traces."

"Very good." Gu Jinyan turned around and scanned the data on the screen with a sharp gaze, "Can you find the specific location and user information of these IP addresses?"

"Give me some time." The hacker master pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his fingers continued to fly on the keyboard, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere. Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not speak, but stared at the computer screen closely, afraid of missing any details.

"Found it!" The hacker shouted excitedly, "One of the IP addresses belongs to the company's internal network, and the login time and intrusion time are highly consistent!"

"Who is it?" Gu Jin's tone was cold, with a hint of chill in his eyes.

The hacker expert quickly retrieved the relevant information, and when they saw the names displayed on the screen, Su Li and Gu Jinyan were stunned.

"Vice President Wang?" Su Li whispered the name, her heart full of doubts and confusion. Vice President Wang had worked in the company for many years, had always been conscientious, and was deeply trusted by Gu Jinyan. How could it be him?

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but frowned and fell into deep thought. He recalled some of Vice President Wang's abnormal behaviors in recent times, such as frequent overtime work and avoiding eye contact with him. These details that he had originally ignored were particularly glaring at this moment.

In order to further find out the truth, Su Li and Gu Jinyan decided to conduct a secret investigation of the company's internal personnel. They retrieved the information of all employees from the human resources department and arranged for investigators to conduct background checks and interviews one by one.

As the investigation deepened, they found that Vice President Wang's behavior was indeed abnormal at some key points in time. For example, during the period when the company's confidential information was leaked, he left the company for various reasons, and his mobile phone location also showed that he appeared in some places unrelated to work.

"It seems that our Vice President Wang is not as simple as he seems." Su Li put down the information in his hand, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Gu Jinyan nodded. He had secretly sent someone to follow Vice President Wang and closely monitor his every move. He knew that the storm had just begun, and the real mastermind behind the scenes might be hiding deeper, waiting for them to unveil it.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan's phone suddenly vibrated. He clicked on the message and his face instantly became gloomy. Su Li noticed his change and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jinyan handed her the phone. An anonymous email appeared on the screen. The content only said one sentence: "Don't investigate further, or you will bear the consequences!" Gu Jinyan's face was terribly gloomy. The anonymous message was like a poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue, indicating that danger was approaching. Su Li also felt an invisible pressure. The other party had obviously noticed their investigation and issued a warning.

"It seems that we have touched the interests of some people." Su Li put down the phone with a hint of coldness in his tone.

Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "No matter who they are, I will find them out!"

The investigators encountered a series of obstacles during the investigation. Some key evidence mysteriously disappeared, and some employees who had originally agreed to testify suddenly changed their attitudes and refused to cooperate with the investigation.

"Mr. Gu, Vice President Wang suddenly resigned this morning, saying that he had to return to his hometown to take care of his sick mother." The assistant hurried into the office and reported the latest situation to Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan sneered, "You run pretty fast."

"Also, the server that was previously attacked by hackers has been formatted, and all the data cannot be recovered." The assistant's voice became smaller and smaller. He knew what this meant. Their investigation clues were broken.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. The other party's power was far beyond their imagination. Not only could they easily destroy evidence, but they could also control the company's internal personnel and put them in a passive position.

"It seems that a head-on confrontation won't work." Su Li pondered for a moment and said slowly.

Gu Jinyan nodded. He also realized that continuing the investigation according to the current line of thought would only alert the other party and make them more vigilant.

"We have to change our thinking..." Gu Jinyan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about something.

"Perhaps, we can start from the outside..." Su Li seemed to suddenly think of something, turned to look at Gu Jinyan, and hesitated to speak.

Gu Jinyan also turned his gaze to her, waiting for her next words. Su Li took a deep breath and said slowly: "We can start with Gu's competitors. Since someone wants to attack Gu by leaking company secrets, then the biggest beneficiaries are likely to be them."

Gu Jinyan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Su Li's analysis made sense. Instead of struggling to track down the issue within the company, it would be better to turn his attention to the outside world, which might yield unexpected results.

"I have asked a hacker expert to track the source of the anonymous message. I believe there will be results soon." Gu Jinyan said, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, I will also start investigating Gu's competitors to see if they have any unusual behavior recently." Su Li said with a firm look in her eyes, revealing a tenacity that refused to admit defeat.

In the next few days, Su Li and Gu Jinyan acted separately and launched their own investigations. Gu Jinyan obtained more clues about the sender of anonymous information through hacker experts, while Su Li focused on investigating Gu's competitors.

Su Li carefully studied the business dealings and market competition between Gu's and its competitors in recent years, and found that one of the companies, "Xingyao Group", was particularly suspicious. Xingyao Group is a newly emerged enterprise in recent years, with a rapid development momentum, and has a fierce competitive relationship with Gu's in many fields.

Su Li checked the recent project data of Xingyao Group and found that they had launched a series of projects that were highly similar to those being carried out by Gu's. These projects were surprisingly consistent with Gu's projects in terms of R&D direction, target market and partners.

"Could it be..." Su Li suddenly had a bold guess in her mind. Could it be that all these projects of Xingyao Group were established based on the confidential information leaked from Gu's company? If this is true, then Xingyao Group is likely to be the mastermind behind it!

Su Li told Gu Jinyan about her discovery. After hearing it, Gu Jinyan frowned and fell into deep thought.

"It seems that we need to meet with the Xingyao Group." Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with a cold light and his tone was cold.

The next day, Gu Jinyan met with Li Xinghe, the president of Xingyao Group, in the name of discussing cooperation. Li Xinghe was a middle-aged man in his forties, with an elegant appearance and decent conversation, but his eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and calculation.

During the meeting, Gu Jinyan tried to find out from Li Xinghe some information about the connection between Xingyao Group and the company secrets leak. However, Li Xinghe remained tight-lipped and Gu Jinyan did not get any valuable information.

Just as Gu Jinyan was about to end the meeting, Li Xinghe suddenly said, "Mr. Gu, I heard that your company has encountered some troubles recently?"

Gu Jinyan was startled and asked calmly, "Oh? Mr. Li is referring to..."

Li Xinghe smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Business is like a battlefield. It is better to be cautious about some things..."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. Li Xinghe's words were clearly warning them not to continue investigating... Li Xinghe's meaningful smile lingered in Gu Jinyan and Su Li's minds, like the calm before the storm, foreshadowing that a bigger storm was coming. They decided to stay put for the time being and wait and see, while also stepping up their investigation into Xingyao Group.

Just as they were preparing to conduct a further investigation, negative rumors about Su Li and Gu Jinyan suddenly spread within the company. Someone spread the news that Su Li was able to marry into the Gu family entirely because of improper means, and even said that she had a close relationship with Gu's competitors and was one of the masterminds behind the company's secret leak. As the person in charge of Gu's, Gu Jinyan not only failed to distinguish right from wrong, but also shielded and condoned Su Li, putting the interests of the company below his personal feelings.

The speed at which these rumors spread and the scope of their spread were shocking. For a time, people in the company were in a panic, and Su Li and Gu Jinyan became the target of public criticism, bearing doubts and accusations from all sides.

"What nonsense!" Su Li, who was always gentle, couldn't help but slam the table after seeing these malicious and slanderous remarks. She had never thought that she would be slandered like this, and in her husband's company.

Gu Jinyan's face turned pale. He held Su Li's hand in his palm, trying to give her strength. "Don't worry, I will find out who is spreading these rumors behind the scenes, and I will never let them succeed!"

Gu Jinyan immediately arranged for someone to investigate, and soon found the source of the rumor - a department manager in the company who had a grudge against Su Li. However, just as they were about to take action, Gu Jinyan suddenly received a call from a hacker expert.

"Boss Gu, I have an important discovery! I have traced the frequent secret communications between the company's vice president and the executives of Starry Group, but the contents of these communications are all encrypted and cannot be deciphered for the time being..."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and their hearts were immediately filled with shock. Could it be that there really was a "ghost" inside the company? And this person turned out to be one of his most trusted partners? Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice:

“Can we find out the content of their communications?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the hacker's embarrassed voice came: "I'll try..."
