There was a tense atmosphere in the dim conference room.

The document thrown out by Su Li was like a blockbuster bomb, which exploded the originally calm negotiation surface.

The documents contained evidence of a rival company's accounting fraud, as well as email records of their private dealings with Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu in an attempt to embezzle the interests of the Gu Group.

Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu's faces turned pale, but they were unable to refute.

They didn't expect that Su Li actually had such important evidence, and they didn't expect that she would be so decisive in making it all public.

"This... this is all fake!" Uncle Gu was furious and pointed at Su Li's nose and cursed, "You are a woman, what do you know about business? You are talking nonsense here!"

"Uncle, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." Su Li was not afraid at all, and said in a cold tone, "I believe everyone here knows whether these evidences are true or false. I advise you to think about how to explain to Gu Group and Grandpa."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open and Gu Jinyan walked in.

He was originally handling other matters in the next room, but he rushed over after hearing the noise.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, his eyes stayed on Su Li for a moment, then turned to Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San, and said in a cold tone: "What's going on?"

Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu hesitated and dared not speak.

Su Li briefly explained the whole story and handed the document in her hand to Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan took the document, read it carefully, and his face became increasingly gloomy.

He threw the document on the table, his eyes swept over Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San, and finally landed on Su Li, "This time, you did a good job."

Su Li smiled faintly, "I just did what I should do."

The negotiation ended with Gu Group's victory.

The conspiracy of Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu was exposed, and their status in the company plummeted. However, Su Li won the recognition of the entire Gu family because of her outstanding performance this time, and her status in the Gu family was also improved.

Su Li knew clearly that this victory was just the beginning. She had offended Uncle Gu II and Uncle Gu III, as well as her business rival. The road ahead was destined to be full of thorns.

As night fell, Su Li got on the car to go home and closed her eyes tiredly.

"Madam, are you okay?" The driver saw Su Li's pale face in the rearview mirror and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, just a little tired." Su Li forced a smile, "Let's drive, I want to go back and rest early."

The black car drove into the night, heading towards home, but they were completely unaware that in the dark corner, a pair of eyes full of resentment were staring at them intently...

The black sedan was driving steadily on the wide road. The light from the street lamps shone through the car window, casting alternating light and dark shadows on Su Li's tired face.

She closed her eyes, but the scenes in the conference room kept replaying in her mind. The evidence, the arguments, the joy after the victory and the vague uneasiness were like a tangled mess, making her uneasy.

Suddenly, a sharp brake sound pierced the night sky. Su Li opened her eyes suddenly. Before she could react, she heard a loud "bang" and the car body shook violently.

"Young Madam, be careful!" the driver shouted and swerved the steering wheel. The car barely avoided the oncoming truck, but lost control and rushed towards the green belt on the side of the road.

"Cough cough..." Su Li was thrown onto the seat by the powerful inertia, feeling a dull pain in his chest and a buzzing in his ears.

"Go!" The driver didn't bother to check Su Li's injuries. He unbuckled her seat belt, pulled her out of the car, and ran to the side of the road in a panic.

Almost at the same time, the truck that was supposed to hit them suddenly exploded, and huge flames shot up into the sky, illuminating half of the night sky.

The killer hiding in the dark saw this scene, cursed, and left the scene unwillingly.

Su Li leaned against the driver in shock, looking at the blazing flames. A chill ran from the soles of her feet to her heart.

She knew that this was not an accident but a deliberate murder!

"Madam, are you okay?" the driver asked anxiously.

"I'm fine..." Su Li shook her head and forced herself to calm down, "Quick, call Jin Yan..."

At this time, Gu Jinyan was sitting in the study, looking at the documents in his hands with a frown.

Ever since Su Li took over the company's affairs, he has been secretly sending people to protect her. He knows that those business rivals will not give up easily and will definitely find ways to retaliate against Su Li.

The phone rang suddenly. Gu Jinyan glanced at the caller ID and answered the call. Before he could speak, he heard the driver's panicked voice on the other end of the phone:

"Boss Gu, something bad has happened to the young lady!"

Gu Jinyan's heart sank suddenly, "Where is it? I'll go there now!"

Ten minutes later, Gu Jinyan arrived at the scene and was relieved to see Su Li standing on the side of the road safe and sound.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Gu Jinyan walked quickly to Su Li, looked her up and down, his tone full of worry.

“I’m fine, thanks to the driver…” Su Li shook her head and briefly recounted what happened.

After listening to this, Gu Jinyan's face became terribly gloomy. He knew that this was just a warning. If he did not take action, Su Li would still be in danger.

"From today on, you are not allowed to go anywhere. I will arrange people to protect you 24 hours a day." Gu Jin said in an unquestionable tone.

Su Li frowned, "No, I can't hide away just because I'm scared, I still need to deal with the company's affairs..."

"I will take care of the company's affairs. Your safety is the most important thing now!" Gu Jinyan interrupted her, "I won't let you put yourself in danger again."

"But..." Su Li wanted to say something, but was stopped by Gu Jinyan's sharp look.

"obedient!"

Gu Jinyan didn't give her any chance to refute. He simply pulled her into the car and drove away.

The car drove into the night. Su Li looked at the passing scenery outside the window with mixed feelings.

She knew that Gu Jinyan was doing this for her own good, but this feeling of being protected made her feel extremely depressed...

"Stop the car!" Su Li suddenly said.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything, but just looked at her coldly, and the driver immediately pulled over.

"What do you want?" Su Li turned her head and looked at Gu Jinyan, with a hint of anger in her tone, "What do you think I am? A canary? Can you keep me safe by locking me in a cage?"

"That's not what I meant..." Gu Jinyan tried to explain, but was interrupted by Su Li.

"Then what do you mean?" Su Li's eyes were red, "You don't believe me at all, you just treat me as a weak woman who needs your protection!"
