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

Su Li held the thin letter, her fingertips slightly cool. The handwriting on the letter was beautiful, obviously written by a woman, but the content was shocking. She handed the letter to Gu Jinyan calmly, who just glanced at it and put it neatly into his pocket.

"It seems that our Mr. Arthur is just an appetizer." Gu Jinyan's tone did not reveal his joy or anger, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, someone wants to take this opportunity to harm the Gu family?" Su Li's voice was very soft, but it was firm. "Who is it?"

Gu Jinyan did not answer directly, but took her hand and interlocked their fingers, "Don't worry, let's talk about it when we get back."

Back at the Gu family's old house, Gu Jinyan gathered the family members together to discuss cooperation. On the surface, he was listening carefully to the opinions of the elders, but in fact, his eyes were always on Master Gu Si who was sitting in the corner.

Gu Siye is Gu Jinyan's uncle. When he was young, he was marginalized by the family because of investment failure. In recent years, he has been trying to make a comeback, but he has never found the right opportunity.

Gu Jinyan observed Fourth Master Gu's every move calmly, and sure enough, he found that Fourth Master Gu's eyes drifted to the family butler sitting next to him from time to time. The butler's surname was Li, and he had served in the Gu family for decades and was deeply trusted by the old man of the Gu family.

A bad premonition spread in Gu Jinyan's heart.

That night, Gu Jinyan took Su Li to the garden on the pretext of taking a walk. It was late at night and there was only moonlight shining on the flowers, casting a mottled shadow.

"I asked Assistant Lin to check. There is nothing wrong with Arthur's background. The company behind him is indeed interested in cooperating with us." Gu Jinyan whispered, "So, the content of the letter is very likely to be true."

"What should we do?" Su Li's heart was in his throat.

"Wait and see what happens. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either." Gu Jinyan's tone was firm and calm. "I will send someone to secretly protect you. During this period, try not to go out alone."

"But……"

"No buts." Gu Jinyan interrupted her, "Trust me, I will take care of everything."

However, what Gu Jinyan didn't know was that while they were talking, behind the flowers not far away, Fourth Master Gu and the housekeeper were whispering and plotting something.

"The old man's birthday party will be held next month. By then, I will find a way to get Gu Jinyan out of the way. You can take this opportunity..." Fourth Master Gu's voice was blown away by the wind in the night sky, leaving only the last sinister whisper, "...make him lose his inheritance forever..."

Under the moonlight, the figures of Gu Siye and the housekeeper gradually disappeared into the darkness, leaving only endless shadows and uneasiness spreading in the air...

Su Li didn't sleep all night. Gu Jinyan's words echoed in her mind, and anxiety entangled her like a vine. She knew that Gu Jinyan had the ability to protect her, but she didn't want to just hide under his wings. She wanted to find evidence and bring those who tried to hurt Gu Jinyan to justice.

The next morning, Su Li declined Gu Jinyan's company on the pretext of feeling unwell and went to the Gu family's old house alone. She remembered that the anonymous letter mentioned that Gu Siye and the housekeeper would conspire in the study. If they could find evidence of their private transaction, they could completely crush their conspiracy.

Su Li avoided the servants in the house and came to the door of the study. She took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open. The study was empty. Only the sunlight from the window shone through the glass window, casting a few golden rays on the floor. Su Li looked around and her eyes finally fell on a huge landscape painting. She remembered that Mr. Gu had told her that there was a small safe hidden behind the painting.

She carefully moved the frame, and sure enough, a black safe appeared in front of her. Su Li tried to enter several common passwords, but none of them worked. Just when she was about to give up, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Fourth Master Gu's birthday!

She quickly entered Gu Siye's birthday, and with a click, the safe opened. Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she opened the safe with trembling hands. Inside was a stack of documents and a USB flash drive. Su Li looked through the documents and found that they were all company equity transfer agreements and bank statements.

"These should be the evidence..." Su Li murmured to herself. She put the documents and USB drive back into the safe, then restored everything to its original state and quietly left the study.

At the same time, Gu Jinyan also discovered some clues in the company. He noticed that a huge amount of unknown expenditure had recently appeared on the company's books, and the destination of this expenditure was a shell company under the name of Gu Siye.

"It seems that they can't wait to take action." Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with a cold light. He immediately summoned the company's top management, ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and strengthened the monitoring of the company.

At night, the old house of the Gu family is brightly lit. The annual family gathering is about to begin, and guests are arriving one after another, toasting and chatting. However, under this seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there is an undercurrent that is about to set off a storm.

Su Li was wearing a light blue dress, gracefully moving among the crowd with a proper smile on her face. She kept looking at Gu Siye and the housekeeper, trying to find a flaw in their expressions.

Gu Jinyan stood in the middle of the crowd, accepting compliments and greetings from all sides. He also had a perfect smile on his face, but only he knew how turbulent his heart was at the moment.

"Jin Yan, you're here." Fourth Master Gu walked to Gu Jin Yan with a glass of wine in his hand, smiling, "You should drink a few more glasses tonight to celebrate the old man's good health."

Gu Jinyan took the wine glass calmly, staring sharply into Fourth Master Gu's eyes, "Fourth Uncle is right, I will enjoy myself tonight."

The butler stood aside, observing the expressions of the two people calmly, with a barely perceptible sneer on his lips. He took out a delicate little box from his pocket and handed it to Gu Jinyan, "Mr. Gu, this is a little gift from me. I wish your career will prosper."

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the box, but he did not reach out to take it. The butler's smile froze, and he was about to explain, but he saw Gu Jinyan suddenly turn his eyes behind him and uttered two words in a cold tone: "Is it you?" Gu Jinyan's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, piercing through the crowd and falling on an inconspicuous figure at the edge of the crowd - that was his assistant, Lin Feng. Lin Feng seemed to feel Gu Jinyan's gaze, raised his head, nodded slightly to him, and his eyes were firm.

The housekeeper followed Gu Jinyan's gaze, his expression changed slightly, and then he regained his composure, "Boss Gu, what's wrong with you? This is..."

"This is my assistant, Lin Feng. It's normal that you don't know him. After all, you usually interact with people like Fourth Uncle who are 'powerful and high-ranking'." Gu Jinyan deliberately emphasized the four words "powerful and high-ranking", with undisguised sarcasm in his tone.

The butler could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He laughed dryly twice, his eyes flickering, "Boss Gu, you are joking. I..."

"Are you kidding? I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Gu Jinyan put the wine glass in his hand heavily on the table, making a crisp "bang" sound. The guests around were startled by the sudden movement and looked over here. Gu Jinyan ignored everyone's gaze. He walked straight to Lin Feng and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath and told the housekeeper everything about how he tried to bribe him. It turned out that the housekeeper had found Lin Feng in private, promised him a large sum of money, asked him to put drugs in Gu Jinyan's wine, and promised that he would arrange for him to go abroad after the success and ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

"I've long felt that something was wrong with you, but I didn't expect you to dare to betray me!" After listening to Lin Feng's story, Gu Jinyan could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He grabbed the butler's collar and lifted him up.

The housekeeper's face turned pale and he struggled desperately, trying to explain, but he was so frightened by Gu Jinyan's sharp eyes that he couldn't utter a word.

"Jin Yan, stop it!" Su Li saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Gu Jin Yan's arm, "Today is the old man's birthday, don't make trouble."

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. He threw the butler to the ground and said coldly: "I will give you a favor today, but this matter is not over yet!"

It was late at night and all the guests in the Gu family's old house had left. Only a few dim lights remained, casting long shadows in the empty hall.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side on the sofa in the study, both of them with serious expressions.

"It seems that we have underestimated their ambitions." Su Li broke the silence with a hint of worry in her tone.

Gu Jinyan nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since they dare to take action at this time, it means that they have made all preparations. We can't take it lightly."

"I have asked Lin Feng to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon." Su Li held Gu Jinyan's hand, giving him silent comfort.

"Yes." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand with his backhand, interlocking their fingers. "This time, we will never let them succeed!"

Outside the window, the night is dark, as if foreshadowing a bigger storm is coming...
