Su Li rubbed his brows, put down the documents in his hand, and leaned back in the chair tiredly.

Outside the window, the night is deep and the neon lights of the city are flickering, reflecting in her clear eyes, but they cannot cover up the lingering worry.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door, and Su Li gathered his thoughts and said, "Come in."

The assistant pushed the door open and placed a white envelope on Su Li's desk. "Boss Su, someone sent this this afternoon and specifically asked for it to be given to you."

Su Li frowned slightly, picked up the envelope, and felt the coldness on her fingertips.

There was no signature on the envelope, only a black "X" printed on it.

She had a bad feeling in her heart, took a deep breath, and opened the envelope.

On the letter paper, there were a few lines of printed words:

"Su Li, I know what you are investigating. I advise you to stop now. Otherwise, the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear!"

Just a few words, but they revealed a chilling chill.

Su Li's fingers holding the letter paper turned slightly white. Who was secretly monitoring her every move?

Who wants to stop her from finding out the truth?

"Mr. Su, are you okay?" The assistant looked at Su Li worriedly.

Su Li crumpled the letter into a ball, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it and don't tell anyone."

"But..." The assistant wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Li's eyes.

"Go out, I want to be alone."

After the assistant left, Su Li stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the brightly lit city night scene.

The night wind blew her long hair, but it could not blow away the haze in her heart.

"Who is it? Who is behind this?"

Su Li muttered to herself, faces flashing through her mind, but she still couldn't determine the target.

At this time, the cell phone rang. It was Gu Jinyan calling.

"Hey, Jin Yan..."

"Where are you? Why haven't you come home yet?" Gu Jinyan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm working overtime at the company and will be back later." Su Li tried to make her tone sound calm.

"Rest early and don't be too tired."

"Well, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Su Li felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Gu Jinyan's concern was her only comfort in this storm.

She returned to her desk and spread out the threatening letter with a determined look.

"No matter who it is, I will never give up!"

The next day, Su Liqiang cheered up and handled company affairs as usual.

In the afternoon, she received a call from Gu Jinyan, inviting her to attend a charity dinner in the evening.

"This dinner is very important. Please come with me."

"Okay." Su Li had no reason to refuse.

The banquet hall at night is brightly lit, and filled with elegantly dressed people and celebrities.

Su Li held Gu Jinyan's arm and moved among the crowd, responding to all kinds of greetings and compliments gracefully and appropriately.

"Jin Yan, long time no see."

A gentle female voice came, and Su Li's heart sank suddenly.

She turned around and saw a woman in a white dress standing in front of them with a perfect smile on her face.

It’s Shen Qingyuan.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly and said in a cold tone, "Long time no see."

Shen Qingyuan's eyes fell on Su Li, and a hint of barely perceptible hostility flashed in his eyes, "Who is this?"

"This is my wife, Su Li." Gu Jinyan introduced lightly.

A hint of surprise flashed across Shen Qingyuan's face, and then he smiled again, "Hello, Miss Su."

Su Li nodded politely, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared at the door of the banquet hall, staring at Su Li and Shen Qingyuan closely, with a cold smile on his lips.

"The show is about to begin..."

Su Li felt her heartbeat quickening. The appearance of Shen Qingyuan was like a stone that broke her originally calm heart.

She observed Shen Qingyuan calmly, trying to find a clue from her eyes and movements.

Halfway through the dinner, Su Li left the banquet hall on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

She walked slowly along the corridor, her mind racing.

Suddenly, she heard whispers coming from around the corner.

"Are you sure you won't be discovered doing this?"

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. As long as..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She lightened her footsteps, quietly walked to the corner, and looked out.

She saw two figures with their backs to her, one of them was Shen Qingyuan, and the other was... Gu family's distant relative, Gu Mingxuan!

Su Li covered her mouth and tried hard to suppress the shock in her heart.

She had always suspected that someone was behind the scenes, but she never expected that it was someone from within the Gu family!

Shen Qingyuan and Gu Mingxuan seemed to have finished their discussion and turned away.

Su Li hid in the corner until their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, then slowly walked out.

The conversation she had just heard echoed in her mind, and her heart was filled with confusion and uneasiness.

Why did Shen Qingyuan and Gu Mingxuan collude with each other? What was their purpose?

Su Li returned to the banquet hall and Gu Jinyan was talking to several company executives.

Seeing Su Li coming back, he nodded slightly.

"What's wrong? You don't look well." Gu Jinyan asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little tired." Su Li forced a smile.

After the dinner, Gu Jinyan received a call from his assistant and his face suddenly became serious.

"What did you say? The partner suddenly proposed new conditions?"

Su Li's heart also began to lift. "What's wrong?"

"They asked us to complete the design changes of all projects within one month, otherwise they would cancel the cooperation." There was a hint of fatigue in Gu Jinyan's tone.

Su Li suddenly understood that all this was not a coincidence!

"It seems that someone is behind this..." She muttered to herself with a cold look in her eyes.

Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I want to see who dares to touch the Tai Sui!"

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

All signs indicate that Shen Qingyuan is definitely involved in this matter.

From Shen Qingyuan's sudden appearance at the beginning of the project, to Gu Mingxuan's abnormal behavior, to the sudden difficulties caused by the partner, all of this was like a carefully woven net that trapped them tightly.

"It seems that someone doesn't want us to have an easy life." Su Li's tone was cold, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

Gu Jinyan looked at the woman in front of him. She used to be weak, but now she showed unprecedented tenacity.

He knew that Su Li was no longer the eldest daughter of the Su family who was at the mercy of others.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Jinyan asked, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"Since they want to play, we will play with them to the end!" Su Li sneered, "I want to see who will have the last laugh."
