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

Inside the study, the antique mahogany furniture bore traces of time, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, but it could not conceal the tense atmosphere.

Gu Zhenting sat on the armchair, his sharp eyes swept over the three people in front of him, and finally fell on Master Gu Si, "Master Si, tell me, what's going on?"

Fourth Master Gu rolled his eyes and pretended to be wronged and said, "Brother, I am doing this for the good of the Gu family. Jin Yan is young and impulsive, and I am afraid that he will be taken advantage of, so I asked someone to investigate his past..."

"What are the results of the investigation?" Gu Zhenting's tone was calm, but there was a hidden sharpness in his voice.

"This..." Fourth Master Gu hesitated, not daring to look directly into Gu Zhenting's eyes. He originally thought that he could dig up some dirt on Gu Jinyan, but he didn't expect that Gu Jinyan acted cautiously and didn't leave any handle at all.

"Fourth Uncle, since you didn't find out anything, why did you say that at the banquet?" Su Li said in a cold tone, staring at Fourth Master Gu sharply.

Master Gu Si felt guilty when Su Li looked at him, and he said angrily, "I just care about Jin Yan and remind him to be careful about his words and actions. How can this be considered slander?"

"Uncle, your concern is a little too much, isn't it?" Gu Jinyan snorted coldly and threw a document in front of Master Gu. "Take a look at this for yourself. What is this?"

Gu Siye picked up the document with doubt, and his expression became uglier the more he looked at it. This document was the result of an investigation by Gu Jinyan, and it clearly recorded that Gu Siye hired a private detective to try to dig up evidence of Gu Jinyan's scandal.

"You..." Fourth Master Gu pointed at Gu Jinyan, so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Fourth Uncle, do you have anything else to say?" Gu Jin's tone was cold and calm.

Fourth Master Gu sat dejectedly on the chair. He knew that this time, he had completely lost.

Just at this moment, Gu Jinyan received a phone call and his face instantly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed that Gu Jinyan was acting strangely and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said in a heavy tone: "Something happened in the company."

Su Li and Gu Jinyan rushed to the company and after investigation, they found that the family butler was actually carrying out sabotage activities within the company, causing important projects to be delayed and causing heavy losses.

"How could it be him?" Su Li couldn't believe it. The family butler had served the Gu family for many years and had always been loyal. How could he do such a thing?

"It seems that we have all underestimated Fourth Uncle's methods." Gu Jinyan's eyes were cold and his tone was grim, "He is going to force us into a dead end!"

Su Li clenched her fists, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, "We can't just sit there and wait for death, we must fight back!"

Gu Jinyan nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I will make him pay for what he did!"

The atmosphere in the study was so solemn that it seemed frozen. Fourth Master Gu had a gloomy face and said nothing. He knew that his plan had failed. The evidence that Gu Jinyan produced was like ironclad evidence, leaving him no way to refute it.

Gu Zhenting's face turned pale. He slammed the document in his hand on the table and angrily shouted, "Old Four, you disappoint me so much! You actually did this for your own benefit, at the expense of the interests of the family!"

Facing Gu Zhenting's anger, Fourth Master Gu lowered his head and dared not refute. He knew that he had gone too far this time, but he did not regret it. He had endured for so many years just to be able to bring Gu Jinyan down and take the position of the head of the family.

At this time, the family elder who had been silent all this time spoke up. He slowly said, "Old Four, you really went too far this time. Although you are somewhat dissatisfied with Jin Yan's actions, you should not have resorted to such means."

Fourth Master Gu was delighted. He knew that the family elder had always admired him. As long as he could get his support, he would have a chance to turn things around. He quickly said, "Third Uncle, I am doing this for the good of the Gu family. Jin Yan is young and energetic, and I am afraid that he will be taken advantage of, so..."

"That's enough!" Gu Zhenting interrupted Fourth Master Gu, "You don't need to make excuses anymore. What you have done has seriously damaged the interests of the family. I will hold a family meeting to punish you!"

Fourth Master Gu's face changed. He knew that Gu Zhenting was serious this time. Once the family meeting was held, he would have no chance of turning things around.

However, Master Gu Si did not give up, he still had one last trick up his sleeve.

The next day, the headlines of all major media outlets were dominated by negative news about the Gu Group. In the news reports, Gu Jinyan was portrayed as a cold-blooded, ruthless businessman, while Gu Siye was portrayed as a victim who was persecuted for the benefit of his family.

The direction of public opinion changed instantly, Gu Jinyan became the target of public criticism, and his image plummeted.

"It seems that Fourth Uncle is determined to fight me to the end." Gu Jinyan looked at the newspaper in his hand, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew that this was Fourth Master Gu's last fight. If he failed, he would be doomed.

"What should we do now?" Su Li asked worriedly.

Gu Jinyan threw the newspaper in his hand onto the table, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Since he wants to play, then we will play with him to the end! I will let him know the consequences of going against me!"

As night fell, Gu Jinyan and Su Li stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of the city.

"Lier, what do you think is Fourth Uncle's fatal weakness?" Gu Jinyan suddenly asked.

Su Li was slightly stunned, and then she understood what Gu Jinyan meant. She pondered for a moment, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I think I already know..."

The night was dark, but the lights on the top floor of Gu's Building were still bright. In Gu Jinyan's office, Su Li's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her clear eyes reflected the stars outside the window, as if she was thinking about some difficult problem.

"Fourth Uncle has been hiding very deeply all these years. It may not be easy to find his fatal weakness." Su Li sighed softly, and her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a slight sound.

Gu Jinyan walked over to her side, gently placed his broad palm on the back of her slightly cool hand, and said in a low voice with a hint of comfort: "Don't worry, we still have time. Fourth Uncle's actions this time were too hasty, which exposed his ambitions and gave us a chance to fight back."

Su Li looked up at him, with a determined light in her eyes: "You are right, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Since Fourth Uncle wants to play, then we will play with him to the end!"

"What did you think of?" Gu Jinyan noticed the change in her eyes and asked softly.

Su Li raised a confident smile and said, "Tell me, Fourth Uncle went to great lengths to bring you down. What is his ultimate goal?"

"Of course he wants to replace me and become the person in charge of Gu Group." Gu Jinyan answered without hesitation.

"That's right, but have you ever thought about whether Fourth Uncle really has the ability to control the entire Gu Group?" Su Li's tone was meaningful.

Gu Jinyan was slightly startled, and then fell into deep thought. Although Gu Siye had a certain influence in the company over the years, his ability and skills were still far behind Gu Jinyan. If he really succeeded in bringing Gu Jinyan down, he would probably find it difficult to convince the public, and he would not be able to lead the Gu Group to continue to grow and develop.

"What you mean is..." Gu Jinyan seemed to understand Su Li's intention, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Su Li nodded and said in a low voice: "I suspect that there are other people behind Fourth Uncle."

"Others?" Gu Jinyan frowned, and several family elders flashed through his mind. Could it be them?

"I will get to the bottom of this matter." Gu Jin said in a firm tone, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Also, Fourth Uncle must have done a lot of shady things in order to win people's hearts over the years. As long as we find evidence..." Su Li did not continue, but Gu Jinyan already understood what she meant.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the office gradually heated up. Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood side by side in front of the French window, their figures intertwined under the light, as if they had merged into one. Outside the window, the lights of the city were still bright, but they could not cover up the coming storm.

"Tomorrow, I will make Fourth Uncle pay the price." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and firm, with unquestionable majesty. Su Li did not speak, but nodded gently, with a confident light in her eyes.

A war without the smoke of gunpowder is about to begin...
