"Are you ready?" Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li beside him.

Su Li smiled slightly, with confidence shining in her eyes, "Of course."

According to the plan, Su Li used hacking skills to sneak into Uncle Gu's study, trying to find more clues, while Gu Jinyan was responsible for diverting Uncle Gu's attention and buying time for Su Li.

In the study, Su Li quickly checked every corner, and finally, she found a safe behind a painting on the desk. After entering the birthday password of Uncle Gu, the safe opened. In addition to several documents and some cash, there was also an encrypted mobile phone.

Su Li's heartbeat quickened. She had a hunch that the phone must contain some important secrets. She connected the phone to the computer and began to try to crack the password.

At the same time, Gu Jinyan was dealing with his second uncle Gu.

"Second uncle, it's so late, why don't you rest?" Gu Jinyan asked casually.

Second Uncle Gu sat on the sofa, holding up a teacup, hiding the panic in his eyes, "I'm old, I can't sleep. But you, why are you suddenly concerned about an old man like me?"

"Something has happened in the company recently, and I'm a little worried about you." Gu Jinyan asked tentatively without any expression.

Uncle Gu put down his teacup, his eyes flickering, "Don't worry about the company's affairs, I will take care of it."

"Uncle, are you really okay?" Gu Jinyan asked, "If you need any help, just ask."

Uncle Gu took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm really fine, don't worry."

At this moment, Su Li sent a message to tell Gu Jinyan that she had successfully cracked the password of the mobile phone and found some important information. Gu Jinyan was delighted and ended the conversation with Uncle Gu calmly.

Back in the study, Su Li showed Gu Jinyan the contents of her phone, which contained a large number of records of contacts with Gu's competitors, including emails, text messages, call records, and even some commercial secrets and evidence of bribery of officials.

"It seems that our guess is correct. Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu are just pawns. There is a bigger black hand behind the scenes controlling everything." Su Li said in a deep voice.

"We must investigate this competitor thoroughly." Gu Jinyan's eyes were cold, with anger burning in his chest.

In order to find out the truth, Su Li and Gu Jinyan decided to go to the competitor's company in person to find more evidence. Late at night, the two disguised themselves and sneaked into the competitor's company building.

Just when they were about to find the key evidence, an accident happened...

"Who is it?!" An angry shout broke the silence of the night. The dazzling lights suddenly lit up, enveloping Su Li and Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan pulled Su Li up and whispered, "Let's go!"

The two men turned and ran, with hurried footsteps and shouts coming from behind them.

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and ran wildly in the company's maze-like corridors.

Behind me, the sounds of chaotic footsteps and shouting were getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the enemy was well prepared and had surrounded the entire building.

"This way!" Gu Jinyan was quick-witted and pulled open a security door. The two of them slipped in and ran downstairs in the dim light of the stairwell.

"There are too many of them. We must split up to have a chance to escape!" Su Li said breathlessly, with a layer of fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

There was a hint of hesitation in Gu Jinyan's eyes, but the situation was critical, so he could only nod in agreement.

The two separated at the bottom staircase and agreed to meet at the safe house they had set up earlier.

Su Li chose a remote fire escape and walked down in the dark.

The corridor was filled with dust and the smell of dampness, and the occasional squeaking of rats added a touch of horror to the atmosphere.

Suddenly, footsteps came from downstairs, getting closer and closer. Su Li held her breath, hid in the shadow of a corner, and watched the movement nervously.

Two men in black appeared at the stairs, holding flashlights, searching for Su Li. Su Li clung to the wall, not daring to make a sound, fearing that she would be discovered.

"Damn it, where did that woman go?" one of the men in black cursed impatiently.

"Search carefully! The boss said that she must not leave here alive!" said another man in black viciously.

Hearing this, Su Li's heart trembled.

While the two men in black were not paying attention, Su Li crouched down and slipped away quietly in another direction.

Relying on her memory, she took many turns and finally escaped from the building.

Su Li knew that this was only temporary safety. She was now in a strange city, without any relatives, and could be found by those mysterious forces at any time.

Su Li took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She observed her surroundings, looking for a place to hide.

Under the cover of night, Su Li's figure disappeared into a deep alley, leaving behind only the endless night and that gentle sigh...

At the same time, Gu Jinyan also got rid of the pursuers, but he and Su Li got separated and completely lost contact.

An ominous premonition came to his mind. Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, and a determined light flashed in his eyes: "Su Li, wait for me, I will definitely find you!"

Gu Jinyan ran wildly all the way, replaying the scene of him and Su Li getting separated in his mind.

He was like an enraged lion, roaming through the darkness of the city, looking for his prey, no, his lover.

Several times, men in black emerged from the darkness and tried to intercept him.

But Gu Jinyan was no longer afraid at this moment. He attacked ruthlessly and his moves were deadly, like a wild beast that had gone mad in order to protect its partner.

Every time he repelled an enemy, he would roar in a low voice: "Su Li, where are you?!"

Neither fatigue nor pain could stop his determination to find Su Li.

He firmly believed that Su Li must still be alive and waiting for him in some corner.

At this time, Su Li was hiding in the corner of an abandoned warehouse.

On the way of escape, she accidentally found a brooch, a brooch with a simple style, but familiar.

She had seen this brooch in the old house of the Gu family. It was an antique collected by Uncle Gu.

"Could it be... that all this was done by someone within the Gu family?" Su Li's heart was in turmoil, and a terrible thought emerged in her mind.

She thought of Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu's dissatisfaction with Gu Jinyan's power, their secret actions, and the look Second Uncle Gu gave her at the charity dinner...

"No, no, they can't do that..." Su Li shook his head desperately, trying to deny this terrible guess.

But that brooch, like a brand, was deeply engraved in her mind and could not be erased.

Despair and fear overwhelmed her like a tide. Just when Su Li was about to give up hope, she found an old keypad phone in the corner of the warehouse.
