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

The crystal lamps in the banquet hall radiate brilliant light, setting off the luxurious atmosphere to the extreme. There are people drinking and chatting, and laughter is heard everywhere. However, behind this bustle, an undercurrent is quietly surging.

Lu Jingchen had a gloomy face and drank the champagne in his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on the couple not far away. Gu Jinyan and Su Li, one calm and reserved, the other elegant and generous, standing together, seemed like a match made in heaven, which hurt his eyes.

"Boss Lu, don't forget our plan." A middle-aged woman dressed like a noble lady beside him whispered a reminder with a hint of ruthlessness in her tone. She was Gu Jinyan's aunt, Gu Shulan, who had always been dissatisfied with Gu Jinyan because of the issue of profit distribution. This time, she was used by Lu Jingchen and became a pawn in his hands.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it." Lu Jingchen snorted coldly, "Mere commercial competition cannot completely defeat Gu Jinyan. Only by disintegrating from within can he completely lose the chance to turn things around!"

Gu Shulan's eyes flashed with a sinister light, and then she put on a kind smile, holding a wine glass and walking towards several family elders. She knew the weaknesses of these elders very well, greed, conservatism, and stubbornness, and with a little provocation, she could make them a sharp blade in her hands.

"Oh, isn't this Third Uncle? You really are getting younger and younger!" Gu Shulan affectionately put her arm around an old man, speaking in a flattering tone.

"Haha, Shulan, you look so beautiful today!" The old man was so delighted by her that the wrinkles on his face were smoothed out a lot.

"Uncle San, please stop making fun of me." Gu Shulan smiled coyly, then lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that there has been some unrest in the company recently. It seems to be related to Su Li..."

Gu Shulan deliberately concealed some information and only tried to sow discord, portraying Su Li as a beauty who brings disaster and seduces her master, successfully arousing dissatisfaction and suspicion among several elders.

"Humph, a girl from outside dares to stir up trouble in our Gu family. This is really outrageous!"

"That's right. I think Su Li is a jinx. Nothing good has happened to her since she entered the Gu family!"

"Shulan, you must remind Jin Yan about this matter. Don't let him be bewitched by that woman!"

Listening to the indignant words of the elders, Gu Shulan's lips curled up in a sinister arc. The fish has been hooked, and now it's time to collect the net...

As night fell, the atmosphere in Gu Jinyan's study became unusually solemn.

"What did you say? Several uncles jointly requested a family meeting to discuss the matter between me and Su Li?" Gu Jinyan frowned, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.

"Yes, young master." The butler replied respectfully, "And, I heard..." The butler paused, as if hesitating whether to continue.

"Say!"

"I heard that it was Gu Shulan who was fanning the flames and sowing discord behind the scenes..."

Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his face terribly gloomy: "It seems that some people really won't cry until they see the coffin!" He grabbed his coat and strode out of the study, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air, "Prepare the car, go to the old house!" The hustle and bustle of the banquet hall seemed to be isolated in another world. Su Li stood in front of the French window, her fingertips gently stroking the cold glass, her eyes deep and calm. Gu Jinyan's words echoed in her mind. He knew that this seemingly gorgeous banquet was just a carefully planned Hongmen Banquet, and they were the targets of this banquet.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Jinyan walked up to her and handed her a glass of champagne, his eyes gentle and deep.

"Nothing, I just feel a little depressed." Su Li took the wine glass, took a sip, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Tell me, how can there be people like Lu Jingchen in this world who can even sell out their conscience for the sake of profit."

"Human nature is like this. Greed, jealousy, hatred, these negative emotions will blind people's eyes and make them make irrational choices." Gu Jinyan said lightly, "However, good will prevail over evil. I believe that the truth will eventually come to light."

Su Li nodded, with a firm look in her eyes. These days, she has been secretly investigating Lu Jingchen and Gu Shulan, trying to find evidence of their collaboration. Her intuition told her that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"I have asked someone to check Lu Jingchen's recent capital movements," Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "His company has recently encountered capital chain problems and urgently needs a huge amount of funds for turnover. This money is likely to come from..."

Gu Jinyan didn't continue, but Su Li already understood what he meant. If Lu Jingchen really colluded with someone inside the family, then their target might be the entire Gu Group!

"I also found something here." Su Li opened her phone and handed a photo to Gu Jinyan, "I took this photo by accident this afternoon, take a look."

In the photo, Gu Shulan and a family elder are having a secret meeting in the hotel's cafe. Both of them have serious and solemn expressions, and seem to be discussing something important.

"I sent someone to check the hotel's surveillance video," Su Li continued, "and found that before they met, Gu Shulan had talked to Lu Jingchen on the phone for half an hour."

Gu Jinyan frowned. Although these clues could not prove anything directly, they were enough to show that there was indeed some unspeakable secret between Lu Jingchen and Gu Shulan.

"It seems that our good aunt is really trying her best to kill us!" Gu Jinyan sneered, with a hint of coldness in his tone.

"We must find conclusive evidence as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late when we wait for the family meeting." Su Li said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Su Li's phone suddenly rang. It was a reminder that her personal mailbox had received a new email. She clicked on the email and found that the sender was an unfamiliar address, and the title of the email was "Secrets about Gu's Group".

Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She took a deep breath and opened the email...

The content of the email was an encrypted file. Su Li tried several ways to decrypt it, but failed.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed her abnormality and asked in a low voice.

"I received an anonymous email," Su Li handed him the phone, "there is an encrypted file in it, and I can't open it."

Gu Jinyan took the phone, checked it carefully, and frowned slightly: "This encryption method is very special, it will take me some time to decrypt it."

He opened his laptop and began to try to crack the file password. As time passed, the atmosphere in the room became particularly solemn, with only the sound of the keyboard tapping being particularly clear in the silent night.

Suddenly, Gu Jinyan raised his head abruptly, with a gleam in his eyes: "It's unlocked!"

He clicked on the file and a file-sharing link appeared on the screen. The title of the link clearly read "Secret communication records between Lu Group and Gu family members."

Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She had a hunch that this document would be the key to uncovering the truth... Gu Jinyan quickly browsed the contents of the document, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. The document recorded the email exchanges between Lu Jingchen, Gu Shulan, and several family elders, and the content was shocking. Not only did they join forces to suppress the Gu Group, they even formulated a series of plans to seize Gu Jinyan's inheritance rights at the family meeting and completely control the entire Gu Group.

At the same time, Gu Jinyan also learned through internal channels that some family members were bribed by Lu Jingchen. They secretly spread rumors that were unfavorable to Gu Jinyan, trying to shake his position in the family. All this shows that a bigger storm is coming.

"It seems that our good aunt is really willing to do anything to achieve her ambitions." Gu Jinyan closed the computer with a cold tone. He decided not to sit and wait for death anymore. He would take the initiative and expose everything publicly at the family meeting.

A few days later, the Gu family meeting was held as scheduled. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified. Family members gathered together, and everyone had a solemn look on their faces. Gu Jinyan and Su Li walked into the meeting room side by side, and their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

At the beginning of the meeting, Gu Jinyan did not hesitate at all and directly placed a document on the conference table. His tone was calm but with unquestionable majesty: "Everyone, before discussing family affairs, I would like to ask everyone to take a look at this document first."

When the file bag was opened, it contained evidence of collusion between Lu Jingchen, Gu Shulan and others, as well as a list of family members who had been bribed.

A single stone caused a thousand waves, and the originally calm conference room exploded instantly. Everyone was talking about it, and their eyes looking at Gu Shulan and others were full of shock, suspicion and anger.

"This is all fake! Someone is deliberately framing us!" Gu Shulan's face was pale, but she still tried to remain calm and retorted.

"Framed?" Su Li sneered and put the phone on the table. A recording was playing on the screen of the phone. It was the conspiracy conversation between Gu Shulan and Lu Jingchen, and the voices were clearly audible.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Su Li's voice was cold and his eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at her.

Gu Shulan was speechless, her face as pale as paper. Several other bribed family members also lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the crowd.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jinyan's eyes flashed with sadness, but more of it was determination. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "I, Gu Jinyan, act uprightly and have a clear conscience. Today, I will make all this public, clear my name, and give an explanation to the family!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the silent conference room...

Gu Shulan slumped in the chair, looking ashen. She had never thought that everything she had carefully planned would be so easily destroyed by Su Li and Gu Jinyan. The other family members who had been bribed were also ashamed at this moment. They either lowered their heads or avoided their eyes, not daring to face the scrutiny of the crowd.

The elders of the Gu family, who had remained silent, finally spoke up. Although they were disappointed and angry at Gu Shulan's behavior, they were relatives for many years after all, and they couldn't bear to see her completely ruined.

"Shulan, you are so foolish!" a respected elder scolded bitterly, "How could you do such a thing? Are you worthy of the trust the family has placed in you?"

"Jin Yan, for the sake of our relationship, please give her another chance." Another elder also spoke up to persuade, "Let's end this matter here."

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and looked at Su Li with a questioning look in his eyes. Su Li nodded slightly. She understood that Gu Jinyan didn't want to make things too extreme. After all, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything.

"Okay, I can let this matter go." Gu Jinyan said in a deep voice, "But I hope you will take this as a warning and not do anything that will harm the interests of the family again."

The crisis within the family was temporarily calmed down. However, Su Li and Gu Jinyan knew that this was just the calm before the storm. Lu Jingchen's conspiracy had not been completely crushed, and he would definitely come back again.

"What should we do next?" Su Li looked at Gu Jinyan with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Gu Jinyan held her hand, his eyes firm and confident: "Don't worry, I already have a plan. This time, I will make Lu Jingchen pay for what he did!"

He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Please help me contact the PR team. We need to hold a press conference as soon as possible..."
