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

The black car drove steadily on the road leading to the west of the city, but Su Li's heart gradually tightened as the scenery outside the car window became more and more desolate.

"We're here." Gu Jinyan's low voice broke the silence in the car.

Su Li looked up and saw a huge abandoned factory in front of her. The mottled walls and rusty iron doors looked particularly eerie in the dim night.

Gu Jinyan got out of the car first and walked to the passenger seat to open the door for Su Li. Su Li held his hand and used his strength to get out of the car.

"Be careful." Gu Jinyan reminded in a low voice, while gently holding Su Li's hand in his palm.

The two walked side by side towards the rusty iron door, and Su Li's heartbeat quickened with every step.

"Squeak--" The iron door opened slowly with a teeth-grinding sound, and a pungent musty smell hit me in the face.

Gu Jinyan covered Su Li's mouth and nose with his hands, signaling her to hold her breath. The two of them cautiously stepped into the factory gate, and a cold and damp atmosphere instantly surrounded them.

The interior of the factory was empty and dark, with only a few beams of moonlight streaming in through the dilapidated windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground. There was an eerie silence in the air, as if no one had been here for a long time.

Gu Jinyan took out a flashlight from his pocket and turned on the switch. A bright beam of light instantly cut through the darkness, illuminating a small area ahead.

With the help of the flashlight, Su Li looked around and found that there were many surveillance cameras installed on the walls of the factory. These cameras flashed a faint red light, like a pair of prying eyes, which made people shudder.

"Why are there so many surveillance cameras here?" Su Li asked in a low voice.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but frowned, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes. He held Su Li's hand, slowed down his pace, and observed the surrounding environment more carefully.

Suddenly, Gu Jinyan stopped and shone the flashlight into a corner, where there seemed to be something reflecting light.

Su Li looked along the beam of light and found a pile of discarded electronic components in the corner, one of which seemed to have some words engraved on it.

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Jinyan pulled Su Li towards that corner.

The two men walked closer and with the help of the flashlight, they finally saw the words on the component - "Shengshi Group".

Su Li's heart suddenly tightened. Shengshi Group was the biggest competitor of Gu Group. Could it be that Shengshi Group was behind all this?

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from deep inside the factory. Gu Jinyan pulled Su Li behind him and whispered, "Be careful!"

A black shadow flashed by, and then several figures rushed out from the darkness and surrounded them.

Just as Su Li and Gu Jinyan were preparing to evacuate this strange abandoned factory, the sound of hurried footsteps came from deep within the factory, echoing in the empty factory building, like a life-threatening drumbeat, hitting their eardrums.

Gu Jinyan quickly protected Su Li behind him and shouted in a low voice: "Someone is coming, be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, several shadows emerged from the darkness and surrounded them like ghosts. These people were well-trained, ruthless, and their moves hit the vital points. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary thugs.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Su Li asked harshly, but she knew in her heart that these people were obviously well prepared and would not reveal their identities easily.

In response, she was attacked even more fiercely. Gu Jinyan protected Su Li behind him and fought with those people. He punched and kicked vigorously, and defeated the enemy with every move, but the enemy was outnumbered and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Jinyan, be careful!" Su Li screamed as she watched a burly man swinging a steel pipe at Gu Jinyan. Gu Jinyan couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard on the arm, letting out a muffled groan.

Su Li's heart instantly rose to her throat. She rushed forward regardless of everything, picked up the rubble on the ground and smashed it hard at the person who attacked Gu Jinyan.

"Don't come over, they dare not do anything to me!" Gu Jinyan endured the pain, pulled Su Li behind him, and held her in his arms.

"Jin Yan, you are injured!" Su Li felt distressed when she saw the blood oozing from Gu Jinyan's arm.

"I'm fine." Gu Jinyan comforted, but his pale face could not hide his weakness at the moment.

"Stop talking nonsense and come at me!" With an order, those people rushed towards them again. Gu Jinyan protected Su Li behind him and tried his best to resist the attack, but two fists could not beat four hands, and he had several more scars on his body.

“Stop! Who are you? How dare you act wildly here?!” Just then, a majestic voice came from the factory gate, and then several beams of strong flashlights cut through the darkness and illuminated the factory gate...

"It seems that we are saved..." Gu Jinyan looked in the direction of the door, a faint arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes went black and he fainted.

The beam of the strong flashlight blinded the attackers, and they subconsciously stopped moving, shielding their eyes, trying to see who was coming. The hotel manager, along with a team of well-trained security personnel, rushed into the factory aggressively, surrounded Su Li and Gu Jinyan, forming a human wall to separate the attackers from them.

"Catch them!" The hotel manager gave an order and the security personnel pounced on the attackers like tigers descending from the mountains and subdued them in no time.

Su Li looked at everything that happened in front of her, her tense nerves finally relaxed, her body softened, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Gu Jinyan held her tightly in his arms with his last breath, whispering to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay..." After that, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

Upon seeing this, the hotel manager immediately arranged for someone to send Su Li and Gu Jinyan to the hospital.

At the same time, VIP A also investigated the source of the anonymous information through his own channels. He walked to Su Li's ward with a serious face, handed her a document, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Su, I have already found out that this is a trap set by competitor B."

Su Li took the document and read it carefully, her expression becoming increasingly grim. The document clearly showed that the anonymous message was sent from the office of a subsidiary of competitor B. And the attackers were all desperate criminals hired by competitor B.

"This competitor B really does everything he can!" Su Li said gritting his teeth, with flames of anger flashing in his eyes.

"He probably did this to distract your attention so that he could seize your cooperation project." VIP A analyzed, "It seems that we still underestimated his ambition."

"He thinks he can defeat us like this, he is too naive!" Although Gu Jinyan's voice was weak, his tone was extremely firm, "This time, I will never let him succeed again!"

Su Li held Gu Jinyan's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, they would work hand in hand and face them together.

However, they didn't know that this was just the beginning...

"It seems that our competitor is far more cunning than we thought..." VIP A said meaningfully, with a barely perceptible chill in his eyes. Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and each saw a hint of solemnity in the other's eyes. They knew that the real competition had just begun... and their enemy was far more cunning than they had imagined...

"What other tricks does he have..." Su Li muttered to herself, her tone full of anxiety. Su Li gently stroked the information in her hand, with a lingering haze between her brows. Gu Jinyan's hand gently covered the back of her hand, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, we won't let him succeed."

"I know," Su Li took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "It's just that his plan this time was so thorough that even the anonymous message was just a cover. It shows how cunning he is. I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Gu Jinyan held her in his arms, his tone gentle but with unquestionable firmness, "We are no longer the same as we were before. Nothing can defeat us."

At this time, VIP A stood up, walked to the window, looked at the busy night scene of the city outside the window, and said meaningfully: "Have you ever thought about why competitor B would go to such great lengths to deal with you? It doesn't make sense just for a cooperative project."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other, and saw doubt in each other's eyes. VIP A's words undoubtedly added another layer of confusion to their already confusing situation.

"What you mean is..." Gu Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"I just think that things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface." VIP A turned around and swept his deep eyes across the faces of the two people. "Perhaps, he has other purposes, and this purpose may be more important and more dangerous than the current cooperation project..."

The room fell into silence, with only the occasional car horn outside the window breaking the suffocating silence. Su Li and Gu Jinyan both understood that VIP A's words were not alarmist.

"I will use my connections to get to the bottom of this matter." VIP A broke the silence and said firmly, "You should also be more careful and protect yourselves."

"Thank you." Su Li looked at him gratefully, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

VIP A smiled slightly, turned around, picked up his coat, and prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his back to Su Li and Gu Jinyan, and whispered: "Some things, once started, it is difficult to turn back..."

After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out, leaving Su Li and Gu Jinyan looking at each other, their hearts full of confusion and uneasiness.

"What... does he mean?" Su Li muttered to himself, his eyes falling on the direction where VIP A disappeared, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but frowned, with a complex light flashing in his deep eyes. He walked to the window, overlooking the brightly lit city night scene, but his heart was cold.

VIP A's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and making his existing doubts even clearer...

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number, saying in a low and urgent tone: "Help me find someone..."
