For some unknown reason, Su Li dialed the number that she had already memorized.

The call was connected, and a deep and familiar voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"

"It's me..." Su Li's voice was trembling, and it was almost impossible to hear the original tone.

"Su Li?! Where are you? Are you okay?" Gu Jinyan's voice was full of anxiety and worry.

"I..." Su Li took a deep breath, suppressing the fear and anxiety in her heart, "I know who wants to harm you..."

"who is it?!"

"I can't tell you over the phone. Believe me, I know how to expose their true colors, but you need to..."

"I promise you everything! Tell me where you are and I'll find you!"

"No, not now, they..." Before Su Li finished her words, the door of the warehouse was suddenly kicked open, and dazzling lights shone in, and several men in black appeared at the door.

Su Li's heart instantly rose to her throat. She lowered her voice and said in a voice that only Gu Jinyan could hear: "Remember, midnight, clock tower..."

Before Gu Jinyan could react, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone...

Gu Jinyan held the phone in his hand, and the busy tone on the other end of the phone cut his heart like a sharp blade.

Su Li's words echoed in his ears, "Midnight, clock tower..." These simple words contained too many unknowns and dangers.

Gu Jinyan drove to the clock tower in the center of the city. It was an ancient building that had witnessed the rise and fall of the city. But now it seemed exceptionally quiet in the night, even a little weird.

He parked the car far away, hidden in the darkness, and scanned everything around him with sharp eyes. No movement could escape his eyes.

The midnight bell rang, and the dull bell echoed in the empty square, adding a bit of tension to the atmosphere.

Gu Jinyan's heart beat faster. He gripped the gun tightly in his hand, staring at the entrance of the clock tower.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the shadow of the bell tower, and the petite figure looked particularly thin in the night.

Gu Jinyan recognized her at a glance, it was Su Li! He no longer cared about hiding, rushed out of the darkness, and hugged Su Li in his arms.

"You're okay, that's great!" There was a slight tremor in Gu Jinyan's voice. He hugged Su Li tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

Su Li gently pushed Gu Jinyan away, her face a little pale.

"I'm fine. Now is not the time to reminisce. I have something important to tell you."

The two came to the top floor of the clock tower, and under the faint moonlight, Su Li told Gu Jinyan the clues and inferences she had discovered, including the brooch and her suspicions about Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu.

After listening to Su Li's story, Gu Jinyan's expression became extremely solemn.

He had always known that the business world was like a battlefield, full of intrigues, but he had never thought that the danger would come from within his own family.

"I believe you, we will find out the truth and bring them to justice!" Gu Jinyan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination.

"I have a way..." Su Li took out a miniature recorder from his pocket, "This is..."

Before she finished her words, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps at the entrance of the bell tower, accompanied by a few sneers: "It seems that we have quite a few guests tonight..."

Su Li showed the miniature recorder in her hand to Gu Jinyan, "I found this in Uncle Gu's study. It records the entire process of his transaction with a mysterious person."

Gu Jinyan took the recorder, a cold light flashed in his eyes. This would be the key to revealing the truth.

"We must spread this news," Gu Jinyan analyzed calmly, "but we must not alert the enemy."

Su Li nodded, her eyes revealing wisdom that was inconsistent with her weak appearance, "I have already arranged it. Tomorrow morning, this recording will appear on the front pages of major media."

Outside the bell tower, the sound of chaotic footsteps was getting closer and closer. Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu were approaching step by step with a group of men in black.

"Brother, how are you?" Uncle Gu said with a fake smile, his tone full of sarcasm, "Why are you hiding in a place like this? Have you done something wrong that makes you afraid to see people?"

Gu Jinyan sneered and protected Su Li behind him, "Doing something wrong? I think you are guilty!"

Uncle Gu pretended to be surprised, "Brother, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

Gu Jinyan ignored Uncle Gu's pretense of being stupid. He turned on his phone and a clear audio clip came out. It was the recording of Uncle Gu's transaction with the mysterious man.

Uncle Gu's face changed drastically. He never expected that his plan, which he thought was perfect, would be discovered by Su Li.

"Who is it! Who is behind this!" Uncle Gu was so angry that he yelled hysterically.

"it's me."

A deep voice came from behind the man in black, and the crowd automatically parted. A man in a black suit with a stern face slowly walked out.

"It's you!" Gu Jinyan recognized the person at a glance. It turned out to be the Gu family's long-time rival - the president of the Li Group, Li Mingxuan!

"Yes, it was me," Li Mingxuan sneered, "Gu Jinyan, you didn't expect that the one who defeated you in the end was not me, but your own people."

Li Mingxuan approached step by step, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes, "For so many years, I have always wanted to defeat you, but I was always one step behind. Until I found them," Li Mingxuan pointed at Uncle Gu Er and Uncle Gu San, "They gave me this opportunity to disintegrate the Gu family from within!"

There was a flash of anger in Gu Jinyan's eyes. He didn't expect that his uncle, whom he had always regarded as a relative, would actually betray the family and collude with outsiders for the sake of profit.

"You will pay for your actions!" Gu Jinyan's voice was icy cold.

Li Mingxuan laughed arrogantly, "Price? Do you think you are still qualified to negotiate a price with me? Today is the day when you and the Gu family are completely finished!"

As soon as Li Mingxuan finished speaking, the men in black rushed forward and surrounded Gu Jinyan and Su Li.

"Wait," Su Li suddenly said. She looked at Li Mingxuan calmly with a meaningful smile on her lips. "Do you think this is our entire plan?"

Li Mingxuan suddenly felt a little uneasy. He stared at Su Li, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

The smile on Su Li's face made him feel an inexplicable fear...

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, the sound of sirens pierced the night sky, coming from far away and finally echoing around the clock tower.

"Do you think we're not prepared?" Su Li calmly took out her cell phone from her bag and showed it to Li Mingxuan. "We called the police long before we discovered your conspiracy."

Li Mingxuan's face turned pale. He never thought that he would fall into the hands of a woman.

"Retreat!" Li Mingxuan made a prompt decision and wanted to retreat with his men.

But it was too late.

Police cars roared in and surrounded the bell tower. Armed policemen filed out and subdued Li Mingxuan and his men.

"Don't move! You are under arrest!"

Seeing this, Second Uncle Gu and Third Uncle Gu suddenly looked ashen and collapsed to the ground. They knew that what awaited them would be severe punishment by law.

The men in black were escorted by the police and filed down the bell tower. When Li Mingxuan passed by Su Li, he glared at her with resentment and said through gritted teeth, "Just wait, I won't let you go!"

Su Li met his gaze fearlessly, with a cold arc on the corner of her mouth, "I'll wait."

Li Mingxuan was taken into the police car, and the sirens sounded again and gradually faded away.

Outside the clock tower, a black car drove slowly and stopped in front of them.
