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

The housekeeper's hurried footsteps echoed in the silent corridor. Su Li and Gu Jinyan's hearts tightened, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Master, Madam, something terrible has happened! Something has happened to the company!" The butler was sweating profusely and was extremely anxious. "Just now, all the major media outlets suddenly broke the details of our cooperation project with Shengshi Group, and some internal documents were also leaked. Now there are negative reports everywhere on the Internet, and the company's stock price has begun to fall!"

"What?!" Su Li exclaimed, her face instantly turning pale. Gu Jinyan's face was also terribly gloomy. He grabbed the butler's shoulder and asked sternly: "How could this happen? Is the news confirmed to be true?"

"It's absolutely true, Master!" The butler's voice trembled. "It's all over the Internet now. Many shareholders have called to question us, saying that our company deliberately concealed information and deceived investors..."

Gu Jinyan didn't have time to say anything, he immediately took out his phone and clicked on the financial news. A shocking headline suddenly caught his eye: "Gu Group is in a crisis of trust, and cooperative projects are suspected to have huge risks", with a picture of the company's stock price falling off a cliff. The comment section was full of curses, full of all kinds of doubts and abuse.

"How could this happen..." Su Li leaned against the wall weakly, feeling her eyes go dark. She knew that this incident was serious. It was not just a matter of leaking commercial secrets, but more like someone deliberately wanted to take the opportunity to attack the Gu Group, or even... to stir up conflicts within the Gu family.

Gu Jinyan held the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to panic, and the most urgent task was to find out the truth as soon as possible and control the development of the situation.

"Prepare the car and go to the company!" Gu Jinyan made a prompt decision and pulled Su Li out.

……

The Gu Group headquarters building, the office area that used to be well-organized, was now filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. As soon as Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked into the company's gate, they were surrounded by a group of media reporters who had heard the news.

"Mr. Gu, what is your response to this leak? Is it caused by a power struggle within the Gu family as the outside world has said?"

"Mrs. Gu, you have been suspected by the outside world of having relied on marriage to get to the top. May I ask if this incident has anything to do with you?"

"Mr. Gu, facing such a serious crisis of trust, how do you plan to regain the confidence of investors? Will the Gu Group be devastated by this incident?"

Sharp questions were fired at Gu Jinyan and Su Li like dense bullets, and the flash lights kept flashing, almost drowning them. Su Li tightly grasped Gu Jinyan's arm, feeling the cold breath emanating from him, and her heart was filled with uneasiness.

Gu Jinyan's face was grim. He silently protected Su Li as she walked through the crowd and into the elevator. The elevator door slowly closed, blocking out the noisy sounds and glaring lights outside.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything." Gu Jinyan patted the back of Su Li's hand gently, his tone firm and steady.

Su Li raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. Even in the face of such tremendous pressure, his eyes were still calm, as if everything was under his control. She knew that no matter what happened, he would stand by her and face it with her.

The elevator reached the top floor. As soon as Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked out of the elevator, they saw the head of the Gu family standing at the door of the office with a terribly gloomy face.

"Come in." The head of the Gu family spoke in a low voice, with a sense of oppression as if a storm was about to come.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other and silently followed the head of the Gu family into the office.

With a "bang", the head of the Gu family slammed a document heavily on the table, "Take a look for yourself!"

Su Li and Gu Jinyan picked up the documents, and their faces suddenly became even uglier. The documents contained the company's internal financial statements and confidential information of cooperative projects, and the time of the leak coincided with the time when the news broke.

"This..." Su Li was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She never thought that the traitor actually existed and was lurking around them.

The head of the Gu family had a sullen look on his face and spoke sternly: "This incident is of a bad nature and has seriously damaged the reputation of the Gu family! I give you one week to find out the truth, find the traitor who betrayed us, and restore the company's reputation! Otherwise..."

He paused, and glanced sharply at Su Li and Gu Jinyan, "Otherwise, the marriage cannot be delayed any longer!"

Su Li and Gu Jinyan were shocked. They understood that the head of the Gu family was giving them an ultimatum. If they could not resolve the crisis in time, they would have to sacrifice their marriage to preserve the interests of the family.

"We will definitely get to the bottom of this." Gu Jin said in a firm tone, his eyes revealing a determination to succeed.

After leaving the office, Su Li and Gu Jinyan immediately started an investigation. They retrieved all the company's surveillance videos, carefully checked every suspicious person, and interviewed the heads of relevant departments one by one, trying to find clues.

However, the investigation reached an impasse. The company's internal management was strict, and all employees had to undergo rigorous background checks, leaving few suspicious candidates. The leaked documents were also encrypted, and only a few senior staff had access to them.

"Did we really blame the insider wrongly?" Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan who was at a loss, his heart full of doubts.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything. His brows were furrowed, and his fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, raised his head abruptly, and said to Su Li, "Do you still remember the representative of the marriage family who came to our house to discuss cooperation that day?"

Su Li was slightly stunned, then reacted: "You mean, he might..."

"I just have doubts. After all, they are the ones who benefited the most from this incident." Gu Jin said solemnly, "We need to find solid evidence."

Therefore, they decided to start with the representative of the marriage family and secretly investigate his background and recent movements. After some investigation, they found that this representative was gentle on the surface, but in fact he was very cunning, and had close relationships with several senior executives in the company and often met with them privately.

"It seems that our suspicion is correct." Gu Jinyan looked at the information in his hand, his eyes became sharp, "But, how did they steal the company's secrets?"

At this moment, Su Li's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from an old consultant of the Gu family. After answering the call, Su Li showed a surprised expression on his face: "The consultant said that he might know who leaked the company's secrets, but he needs to talk to us in person..."

Late at night, Su Li and Gu Jinyan drove to the old consultant's residence. The old consultant welcomed them into the study, took out a file bag from the drawer with a serious expression, and handed it to them: "This is some information I have collected these days, you will understand after reading it..."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan could not wait to open the file bag, and when they saw the contents inside, they immediately gasped. The file bag contained evidence of a private transaction between the representative of the marriage family and the company's internal financial director, including transfer records, email exchanges, and even a recording of the two conspiring to frame the Gu family.

"How could it be him?!" Su Li covered her mouth in disbelief. She never thought that the usually kind-looking financial director would be the traitor who betrayed the company.

Gu Jinyan's face was livid, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were full of angry flames. He should have thought that the only people who could access the company's core secrets, apart from the senior staff, were the financial department. And this financial director, who had worked in the Gu family for more than 20 years, had always been trusted by the head of the Gu family, and therefore relaxed his vigilance.

"This old fox is really hiding deep enough!" Gu Jinyan said with gritted teeth, "I will make him pay the price!"

"Without further delay, let's call the police now!" Su Li said indignantly.

However, Gu Jinyan shook his head and said calmly: "No, it's not the right time yet. The evidence we have now is not enough to bring down the family of marriage. If we alert them, they will only become desperate and destroy the evidence."

"Then what should we do?" Su Li asked anxiously.

"We have to wait until they let down their guard and reveal their true colors, and then we'll give them a fatal blow!" A gleam of light flashed in Gu Jinyan's eyes. He already had a plan.

With the help of the old consultant, Gu Jinyan and Su Li developed a careful plan. They deliberately spread false information to lure the representatives of the allied families into the trap, while secretly collecting evidence of their crimes.

After several days of careful planning, the representatives of the marriage family finally couldn't hold back and started to act. They used illegal means to try to manipulate the stock price of Gu's company and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up Gu's family. However, what they didn't know was that all of this was under the control of Gu Jinyan.

At the critical moment, Gu Jinyan and Su Li joined forces to capture the representatives of the marriage family and the financial director and brought them to justice. At the same time, Gu's company held a press conference to publicly clarify the facts and announced the evidence of the ghost.

As the truth came to light, the stock price of Gu's company gradually recovered, and the outside world's doubts gradually subsided. Su Li and Gu Jinyan worked together to overcome the difficulties, and their relationship was sublimated in this storm.

However, just when everything seemed to be returning to normal, an anonymous package was sent to the Gu family's old house...

The old house of the Gu family has returned to its former tranquility, as if the previous storm was just an illusion. The company's stock price has rebounded, and media reports have turned from questioning to praising. Gu Jinyan and Su Li's names frequently appear in the financial and entertainment sections, and they are hailed as new business elites and model couples.

On a sunny afternoon, Su Li sat in the garden, holding a novel in her hands, but she couldn't read a single word. Gu Jinyan was handling official business nearby. Seeing her absent-minded look, he put down the documents in his hand and walked over, gently hugging her shoulders, "What's wrong? Are you still worried about the company's affairs?"

Su Li shook her head. "No, isn't the company fine now? I just..." She hesitated to speak. The scene of the CFO's arrest kept appearing in her mind. The resentful look in his eyes made her feel uneasy. She always felt that things were not that simple.

"Just what?" Gu Jinyan stroked her hair gently, encouraging her to continue.

Su Li opened her mouth, but eventually swallowed back her inexplicable worries. "Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it."

At this moment, the housekeeper came in hurriedly from outside, "Sir, Madam, there is an anonymous package sent to you."

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly and took the package handed over by the housekeeper. The package was very light and there was no sender information. It only said "Su Li personally". Su Li's heart jumped suddenly, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed her abnormality and asked with concern.

Su Li shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Gu Jinyan opened the package, and found only a document bag inside. He opened the bag and poured out the contents - a few yellowed photos and a document.

The photo showed a young and beautiful woman holding a swaddled baby with a happy smile on her face. And the document turned out to be... a paternity test report!

Su Li's eyes fell on the paternity test report, on which the result was clearly written: Su Li and the woman in the photo, Lin Wan, are biologically mother and daughter!

"This..." Su Li's mind suddenly went blank. She felt dizzy and the photos and documents in her hands fell to the ground.

"Su Li!" Gu Jinyan supported the staggering Su Li. Seeing the photos and documents on the ground, his face became solemn.

"What is going on?" Su Li's voice trembled, her eyes fixed on the photo on the ground. The woman in the photo looked so similar to her.

Gu Jinyan held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will find out."

However, his words did not make Su Li feel at ease, but made her even more uneasy, because she had a hunch that this was just the beginning... She bent down and picked up the photo on the ground with trembling hands. The woman in the photo had a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, exactly like her... Her eyes fell on the paternity test report, her heart was in turmoil, and a thought flashed through her mind like lightning: Could it be that I am not the daughter of the Su family?

"I...I want to go find someone..." Su Li's voice was very soft, but extremely firm.
