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

The hacker's voice came through the phone with a hint of solemnity: "Mr. Gu, I tried my best, but the encryption process is very complicated. I need more time."

Gu Jinyan frowned, he knew that time was running out. Rumors were spreading rapidly within the company like a virus. He had to find evidence as soon as possible to clear Su Li's name.

"Keep investigating, and make sure to crack it as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinyan told Su Li the latest progress of the investigation. After listening to it, Su Li's face became solemn. Although she was not familiar with the intrigues in the business world, she also understood that if the company's vice president really colluded with competitors, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Could it really be him?" Su Li murmured to himself, his tone full of disbelief.

Gu Jinyan gently held her hand and comforted her, "We don't have any conclusive evidence yet. We'll have to wait until we have thoroughly investigated everything."

However, the development of the matter is far more complicated than they imagined. Just when Gu Jinyan arranged for the investigator to conduct an in-depth investigation of the company's vice president, a shocking news came - the investigator encountered an unidentified attack during the investigation and almost died!

This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing panic among the entire investigation team. Gu Jinyan was even more furious, as he had not expected his opponent to be so brazen as to attack his investigators.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want to know who did it!" Gu Jinyan roared, his voice full of murderous intent.

At the same time, Su Li also received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Ms. Su, long time no see." A gloomy male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of teasing in the tone.

Su Li's heart trembled. She seemed to have seen this voice before, but she couldn't remember who it was.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Haha, you'll know soon." After the other party said that, he hung up the phone.

Su Li held the phone, her palms full of cold sweat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She vaguely felt that a bigger storm was coming...

The call from an unfamiliar number became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The next day, a flood of negative news swept across major media platforms. The headlines were sensational, and the content maliciously speculated on the relationship between Su Li and Gu Jinyan, portraying Su Li as a scheming woman who relied on improper means to get to the top, and Gu Jinyan as a foolish president who was deceived by beauty.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. The public's interest in the secrets of the wealthy was completely ignited, and all kinds of rumors spread quickly like a virus. The company was also in a state of panic. Employees who were already dissatisfied with Su Li began to openly question their leadership ability, and there were even some small-scale strikes.

In the CEO's office on the top floor of the Gu Group Building, the atmosphere was so heavy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. Gu Jinyan's face turned pale, and he slammed the tablet in his hand onto the desk. The screen cracked instantly, just like his mood at the moment.

"This is too much!" the assistant standing nearby said angrily, "These media outlets have absolutely no bottom line, making groundless accusations and malicious rumors!"

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that the most important thing now was to stabilize the situation and not lose his composure.

"Notify the public relations department and hold a press conference immediately to clarify the facts!"

"Yes, Mr. Gu!" The assistant took the order and left.

Gu Jinyan walked to the French window and looked down at the entire city, his heart was in turmoil. He knew that there must be someone behind this, and this person was probably their competitor.

This was the scene Su Li saw when she walked into the office. She walked to Gu Jinyan, gently held his hand, and silently gave him strength.

"Don't worry, I believe you." Su Li's voice was soft, but full of determination.

Gu Jinyan turned around and hugged Su Li in his arms, feeling her warmth and support. He knew that no matter what happened, he would not give up, and would definitely find out the truth and clear Su Li's name.

"Found it!" Su Li pointed to an account on the screen, with a hint of excitement in her tone, "This is the secret account of the company's vice president, and the whereabouts of the funds are unknown..."

Su Li's discovery was like finding a secret path in a foggy forest, guiding them in the right direction. Gu Jinyan immediately contacted the company's internal investigators and asked them to thoroughly investigate the flow of funds in this secret account.

"Who opened this account?" Gu Jinyan asked in a deep voice.

"It's Vice President Wang," the investigator replied, with a hint of surprise in his tone, "But, this is impossible..."

"Nothing is impossible." Gu Jinyan interrupted him, "Keep investigating. I want to know the source and destination of every penny of funds."

The investigator took the order and left, leaving only Su Li and Gu Jinyan in the office.

"It seems that our Vice President Wang is not as simple as he seems." Su Li murmured to himself.

Gu Jinyan nodded, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

At the same time, news came from the hacker experts that they encountered an external network attack when they were trying to crack the encrypted communications of the company's vice president.

"They are very professional and clearly well prepared," the hacker's voice came from the computer. "They seem to know what we are doing and have been trying to obstruct our actions."

"Can you find out their identities?" Gu Jinyan asked.

"Not yet. Their IP addresses are encrypted multiple times," the hacker replied. "But I am sure they are related to your competitors."

Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other and understood in their hearts that they had really stirred up a hornet's nest this time.

"It seems that our opponents are stronger than we thought." Su Li said in a serious tone.

"But no matter what, we can't give up." Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, "I must find out the truth and clear your name."

Time passed by, and the investigation was proceeding intensively and orderly. Just when Su Li and Gu Jinyan thought they were about to find the key evidence, the investigator suddenly delivered a shocking news...

"Boss Gu, something bad has happened. That..." The investigator was sweating profusely and spoke in a hurried tone: "Boss Gu, something bad has happened. That document on the financial transactions of Vice President Wang's overseas account... is missing!"

"What?!" Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his face terribly gloomy, "How could he be missing? Where is the company's internal surveillance? Have you checked it?"

"We checked," the investigator's voice trembled slightly, "the surveillance video was tampered with, and the video of the critical time period was deleted."

Su Li's heart sank. She thought she had found a breakthrough, but she didn't expect to be stuck again. Who was it? Who was secretly obstructing their investigation? Who had the guts to steal such an important document under the nose of Gu's Group?

"It seems that we have underestimated the opponent's strength." Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "Since they dare to do this, it means they have made all preparations."

Su Li clenched her fists, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "No matter what, we can't give up. The more they want to cover up the truth, the more it proves that we have found the right direction."

Gu Jinyan nodded, his eyes swept over the investigator, and his tone was unquestionable: "Immediately block all exits of the company, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and at the same time thoroughly investigate all suspicious persons, and make sure to find the traitor for me!"

"Yes!" The investigator took the order and left, and Su Li and Gu Jinyan were the only ones left in the office again.

"It seems that we have really stirred up a hornet's nest this time." Su Li said in a serious tone.

Gu Jinyan walked to the French window and looked down at the bustling city, but his heart was shrouded in dark clouds. He knew that the opponents this time were not ordinary people. They hid in the dark and took every step carefully. Their purpose was not only to stop the investigation, but also to force him and Su Li into a desperate situation.

"Lier, are you scared?" he asked suddenly, with a barely perceptible hint of worry in his voice.

Su Li walked up to him, gently held his hand, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, as long as we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Jinyan held her hand tightly with his backhand, his eyes deep: "Okay, we will face it together."

Complex codes flashed on the computer screen in front of him.

"Got it!" The hacker's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the room, "I found a way to crack the encrypted communication..."
