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

The knocking sound stopped abruptly, and Gu Jinyan's deep eyes were like two deep cold pools, making it impossible to peek into his thoughts. "Promise them." He said calmly, but with unquestionable majesty.

Su Li raised her head suddenly and looked at him in disbelief, "Jin Yan, you..."

"I know what you're thinking," Gu Jinyan reached out and held her trembling hand, gently stroking the skin on the back of her hand with his fingertips, as if to soothe her uneasiness, "but we need time now, and we need more evidence."

Su Li bit her lip. She understood what Gu Jinyan meant. If she refused to reconcile now, the other party would probably go to extremes and destroy the evidence. It would be difficult to overturn the case at that time.

"But, are we just going to let them go like this?" Su Li still felt a little unwilling.

"Of course not," Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "Out-of-court settlement is only our first step. If we want them to pay the real price, we still have a long way to go."

The lawyer also understood what they meant and nodded, saying, "I will contact the other party's lawyer and try to get conditions that are favorable to us."

In the following days, the legal team held several rounds of negotiations with the other party. Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not intervene in the specific negotiation process, but they would communicate with the lawyers regularly to understand the progress of the negotiations.

The other party obviously did not want to apologize publicly or admit their defamation. Under the pressure of the Gu Group's legal team, they finally agreed to drop all charges and pay a huge amount of compensation, but refused to apologize publicly or admit their defamation.

"They are playing tricks on us!" Su Li was so angry that his face turned pale when he saw the revised agreement.

"Don't worry," Gu Jinyan said calmly, "They are unwilling to apologize publicly because they are still hesitant. What we need to do is to find their weak spots and force them to bow their heads."

Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He turned to look at the lawyer and asked, "Have you found out how the other party obtained those false evidences?"

The lawyer nodded and said, "We have found some clues, but further investigation is needed."

"Very good," Gu Jinyan raised a meaningful smile, "I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, what we want is evidence, solid evidence."

The lawyer took the order and left. Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan's confident and calm expression. The anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of security. She believed that no matter how many difficulties there were ahead, as long as he was there, they would be able to overcome everything.

"The other party agreed to meet with us privately to discuss specific compensation matters." The lawyer brought news again, looking at Gu Jinyan and Su Li with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Promise them." Gu Jinyan said calmly, but his tone left no room for doubt. After receiving the instructions, the lawyer set about arranging a meeting with the other party's representative.

A few days later, in the simple meeting room of the law firm, representatives of both parties sat opposite each other. Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked calm, as if they were just attending an ordinary business negotiation.

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we are deeply sorry for this incident and are willing to assume corresponding responsibilities." The other party's representative spoke in a sincere tone and humble attitude, which was completely different from his previous attitude of refusing to admit mistakes.

"Sorry? Can an apology make up for the losses our company has suffered?" Su Li's tone was cold, mercilessly exposing the other party's hypocrisy.

Gu Jinyan remained silent, only observing the other representative with sharp eyes, as if he could see through all his inner thoughts. He would occasionally take a sip of the coffee on the table, and this action seemed careless, but it invisibly put great pressure on the other party.

"Ms. Su, we understand the negative impact this incident has brought to your company, and we are willing to do everything we can to make up for it." Beads of sweat oozed from the other representative's forehead, and his tone became a little flustered.

"Oh? Then tell me, how do you plan to make up for it?" Su Li pressed on step by step, not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

"This..." The other representative hesitated, his eyes flickering, not daring to look Su Li in the eye.

"What? You can't say it?" Su Li sneered, "It seems that your so-called sincerity is just this."

At this moment, Gu Jinyan suddenly spoke up and broke the deadlock: "We want to know, who instructed you to do this?"

His voice was low and powerful, like a thunder exploding in the conference room, making the other representative's face turn pale instantly.

"Mr. Gu, what do you mean? We don't understand..." The other representative hurriedly denied it, but the panic in his eyes betrayed him.

"Don't understand?" Gu Jinyan sneered and threw a document on the table. "Here is enough evidence to prove that the rumors you spread were deliberately fabricated by someone."

The other representative's face became even uglier, but he still said stubbornly: "Mr. Gu, please don't spit blood at me, we..."

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan slammed the table and interrupted him. "I'm not here today to listen to your excuses. I want the truth!"

His sharp eyes were like a knife, piercing the other representative's heart, making him feel extremely scared and pressured.

At the same time, the lawyers were also busy collecting evidence. Thanks to their efforts, a key witness finally agreed to testify. This witness was once an employee of the other company and had key evidence such as the other company's internal emails and financial statements, which were enough to prove that the other company did engage in malicious competition.

A bigger storm is coming...

The atmosphere in the conference room was stagnant, and there was a sense of tension. Under the pressure of Gu Jinyan's powerful aura, the other party's representative was sweating profusely, but he was still making a final struggle. At this time, the lawyer walked in quickly, handed a document to Gu Jinyan, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Gu, good news!"

Gu Jinyan took the document, glanced through it quickly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He handed the document to the representative opposite him and said in a cold tone: "Take a look, I think you should be familiar with this report."

The other party's representative took the document with trepidation. When he saw the title of the report, his face turned pale. This report came from a highly respected and authoritative expert in the industry. In the report, he analyzed the technical parameters and performance indicators of Gujia's products in detail, proved the superiority of Gujia's products with irrefutable facts, and effectively refuted the false accusations of competitors.

This report was like a bombshell, causing a huge sensation in the industry. After reading this report, people who were originally skeptical of Gujia changed their positions and began to condemn the malicious smearing behavior of competitors. On the Internet, those water army accounts that were previously very active suddenly disappeared, and the comment area was filled with support and encouragement for Gujia.

However, Su Li and Gu Jinyan did not let down their guard. They knew that this war without gunpowder was far from over. Those evil hands hiding in the dark would never give up easily.

"It seems that our opponents are not without flaws." Su Li looked at the latest public opinion data on his mobile phone and sneered.

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in his deep eyes: "The more they struggle, the more they expose their weaknesses."

As night fell, the lights in the top floor office of Gu's Group were still bright. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat face to face at their desks, which were filled with documents and materials. They were in the middle of a crucial meeting that would determine the future fate of Gu's company.

"Everything is going according to plan, just waiting for the final blow." Su Li closed the folder in his hand, his tone firm.

Gu Jinyan nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Tomorrow, let them pay the price for what they did!" He picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number: "Notify them, start..."

It was late at night, but the lights in the top floor office of Gu's Group were still bright, reflecting the stars outside the window. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side at the conference table, which was covered with documents, photos, and various data analysis charts. The air was filled with the aroma of coffee and a hint of tension.

"I have contacted the key witness, and he will testify in court how the rival company bribed him and forged evidence in an attempt to frame Gu." Su Li said softly, her eyes sweeping across a document on the table. It was a copy of the testimony provided by the witness, and every word revealed the rival company's despicable tactics.

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, and his slender fingers tapped the table lightly, making a steady and powerful rhythm: "Very good, how is the lawyer's preparation going?"

"The lawyer team has made all the necessary preparations. They will use their most professional legal knowledge to bring the rival company to court and make them pay for their actions!" Su Li's tone was firm, with unquestionable confidence. These days, she is no longer the weak girl who was forced to marry. With the help and encouragement of Gu Jinyan, she has grown into a strong woman who can stand on her own and fight side by side with him to protect their future together.

"No, it's not enough." Gu Jinyan suddenly spoke, a gleam of light flashing in his deep eyes, "It's not enough to just win the lawsuit, we have to make them completely lose the chance to turn things around!"

Su Li understood what you meant, and a confident smile appeared on her lips: "I understand what you mean. I have asked the public relations team to be ready. Once we win the case in court, we will immediately hold a press conference, make all the evidence public, and reveal their true colors to the world!"

Gu Jinyan nodded with satisfaction, and reached out to hold Su Li's hand. The warmth of his palm conveyed silent encouragement and support. He knew that with Su Li by his side, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and create a brilliant future for themselves.

"Tomorrow..." Gu Jinyan paused, his deep eyes flashing with a determined light, "Let them see how powerful we are!"
