After the meeting, Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and strolled along the path in the Gu Family Garden. The moonlight poured down like water, making their figures look particularly slender.

"Thank you, Su Li." Gu Jinyan stopped and looked at her affectionately, "Thank you for everything you have done for me and the Gu family."

Su Li shook her head, her eyes and eyebrows filled with a happy smile, "We are husband and wife, we should stick together through thick and thin."

Gu Jinyan held her in his arms, gently stroking her hair with his chin, and said in a low and gentle tone, "Su Li, are you willing..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a rapid ring of his cell phone. Gu Jinyan frowned unhappily, took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked softly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, "It's from the hospital..."

Gu Jinyan's fingers holding the phone were clearly jointed, and slightly white due to the force. He hurriedly told Su Li a few words, then turned and strode away. His tall back looked particularly lonely under the moonlight. Su Li stood there, looking in the direction where he disappeared, with an uneasy premonition in her heart.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and Gu Jinyan's footsteps echoed in the empty space. He came to the door of the ward and saw a pale woman lying on the bed. It was Tang Wan who had framed Su Li before.

When Tang Wan saw Gu Jinyan, her originally dim eyes suddenly brightened up. She struggled to sit up, but was gently held down by Gu Jinyan.

"The doctor said you need to rest." Gu Jinyan's tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

Tang Wan's tears welled up instantly, "Jin Yan, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been jealous of Su Li and shouldn't have done things that hurt her..."

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, his eyes were deep and complicated. Tang Wan was a love affair in his youth, but that love had long become blurred with the passage of time, and now only responsibility and pity remained.

"When I got sick this time, I realized that I didn't have much time left..." Tang Wan's voice became weaker and weaker, "I just hope you can come and see me for the last time and don't hate me..."

Gu Jinyan closed his eyes and suppressed the emotions that surged in his heart. He knew that Tang Wan didn't have much time left, and he came here just to send her off. As for the hatred, it had long dissipated in the past years.

It was already late at night when he left the hospital. Gu Jinyan drove back to the Gu family's old house. Su Li hadn't slept yet and had been waiting for him in the living room. Seeing him come back, Su Li immediately went to greet him, her eyes full of worry.

"How's it going at the hospital?"

Gu Jinyan held her in his arms and stroked her hair gently, "It's okay, it's okay now."

Su Li did not ask any more questions. She could feel the tiredness and sadness in Gu Jinyan's heart, so she accompanied him silently, made a cup of hot tea for him, and then snuggled up to him, feeling each other's warmth.

The next day, after Gu Jinyan finished dealing with the company's affairs, he took Su Li to the cemetery. On the tombstone, Tang Wan's photo was still beautiful, as if time had stopped at the most beautiful moment for her.

"Everything is over." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and said softly.

Su Li nodded, gently placed the white lily in her hand in front of the tombstone, and silently recited words of blessing in her heart.

After returning from the cemetery, Su Li clearly felt that Gu Jinyan was in a much better mood. They took walks together, ate together, and discussed the company's development plans together, as if they had returned to the time when they first fell in love.

, the peaceful life did not last long. On a sunny afternoon, Su Li was on her way to the company when she accidentally saw Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San whispering something with a strange man in a coffee shop.

Su Li's heart moved and she stopped, wanting to see more clearly.

At this moment, the strange man suddenly raised his head and glanced over sharply...

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

The strange man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made her shudder.

She hurriedly hid behind a tree, her heart pounding, and did not dare to stick her head out until the sight disappeared.

In the coffee shop, Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San looked solemn, while the strange man had a barely perceptible smugness on his face.

What exactly are they plotting? Su Li's heart was filled with doubts.

A bad premonition entangled Su Li's heart like a vine.

Although the Gu Group has been in turmoil recently, Gu Jinyan's ability is obvious to all. How could there suddenly be a crisis of broken capital chain?

Could it be that all this is not accidental, but someone is manipulating it behind the scenes?

Once this idea came into being, it grew wildly like weeds.

Su Li decided to investigate the matter secretly to resolve the doubts in her heart.

She began to pay attention to the movements of Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San, and tried to get close to the strange man who met them.

Every time she wanted to investigate further, she would encounter various obstacles, as if there was a pair of invisible eyes watching her secretly, which made her shudder.

Su Li felt like she was trapped in a huge spider web. Every time she struggled, she would be entangled tighter.

Fear and anxiety surged over her like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"what are you doing?"

A deep voice suddenly sounded behind her. Su Li was so frightened that her whole body trembled and the documents in her hand fell to the ground.

She turned back in panic and saw Gu Jinyan standing behind her with a terribly gloomy face.

"I..." Su Li opened her mouth to explain, but didn't know where to start.

Gu Jinyan glanced coldly at the documents on the ground, and his eyes fell on one of the photos - that was taken secretly by Su Li, and the person in the photo was the strange man who met Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San.

"Is this what you've been busy with recently?" Gu Jinyan's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld. "Su Li, what are you doubting about?"

Su Li's heart sank suddenly. She wanted to explain, but was forced back by his cold eyes.

She had never seen Gu Jinyan like this before, and he was so strange that it scared her.

"I……"

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan interrupted her, his tone full of disappointment and anger, "You disappoint me so much, Su Li."

He turned and left, leaving Su Li standing there alone, tears silently falling.

She wanted to chase after him to explain, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and she couldn't move a single step.

As night fell, the Gu family's old house was shrouded in a layer of haze.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure walked in...

He walked up to Su Li, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in his tone: "Why do you do this?"

Su Li raised her head, her eyes were red, but she was stubborn and refused to cry: "I just want to help you."

"Help me?" Gu Jinyan sneered, "Do you know what you are doing? You will only alert the enemy and ruin my business!"

Su Li bit her lip and whispered, "I'm just worried about you and the Gu family..."

"That's enough!" Gu Jinyan interrupted her harshly, "It's not your turn to worry about Gu's affairs!"

Su Li's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, the pain was unbearable. She didn't understand why things had turned out like this between them? In the past, he had looked at her so gently and dotingly, but now, there was only coldness and suspicion.

"I'm tired, you can go out." Gu Jinyan turned his back, unwilling to look at her again.

Su Li stood up silently and walked out of the room. The moment she closed the door, she couldn't hold back her tears.

She felt unprecedentedly lonely and helpless, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

In the next few days, Gu Jinyan's attitude towards Su Li remained cold.

He was busy as usual, handling company affairs, but he no longer talked to her, and even rarely met her.

Su Li did not give up the investigation. She knew that the truth was the key to resolving misunderstandings and saving everything.

Her investigation was extremely difficult.

The documents she had placed in her study disappeared, her computer was tampered with, and all the data was cleared.

Su Li realized that she was touching a dangerous secret, and someone was secretly trying to stop her and even wanted to hurt her.

Fear and anxiety gnawed at her heart like a poisonous snake, but she told herself that she could not give up. For Gu Jinyan and for the truth, she had to persevere.

On this day, Su Li came to Gu Group and wanted to talk to Gu Jinyan, but heard the voices of Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu outside the president's office.

"As long as this plan succeeds, the Gu Group will be in our hands!" Second Uncle Gu's voice was full of greed and pride.

"Big brother has been in control of the company for these years, and we haven't gained any benefits. It's our turn now!" Uncle Gu echoed.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat. She finally understood that the predicament that Gu Jinyan had encountered recently was not accidental, but a conspiracy from within the family! She clenched her fists and wanted to push the door in to expose their true colors, but was held back by a hand.

"What do you want to do?" A deep voice sounded in my ears.

Su Li turned around and saw a familiar figure standing behind her...
