After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li and the investigation experts rushed to Gu Jinyan's secret residence, where various information collected by Gu Jinyan over the years was stored.

Based on Su Li's description, the experts quickly locked onto the exquisite vase and carefully took out the USB flash drive hidden inside.

The USB flash drive stores a large number of files, including account records, email exchanges, etc.

The expert quickly browsed through them and explained to Su Li: "These are all very important evidences that can prove that the mastermind exists and has been conducting illegal transactions."

Su Li stared at the computer screen, her heart seeming to be hanging in mid-air.

She knew that as long as she found solid evidence, she could bring the mastermind behind the incident to justice and clear Gu Jinyan's name.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the expert suddenly stopped what he was doing, frowned, and his expression became solemn. "What's wrong?" Su Li's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"This evidence has been tampered with," the expert said solemnly, pointing to a string of codes on the screen. "Someone is trying to cover up the truth, and the method is very professional."

Su Li felt a blackness in front of his eyes. Was their effort in vain?

No, she would never give up!

"There must be another way, right?" She grabbed the expert's arm tightly, with a hint of pleading in her tone.

The expert pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe we can try to recover the deleted data, but it takes time..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door.

Su Li and the expert exchanged glances, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread between the two. The expert gently put down the USB drive in his hand, stood up and walked to the door, and whispered to Su Li: "Be careful, the situation may not be good."

He slowly opened the door, and outside stood a strange man with a strange smile on his face. "Hello," the man said in a gentle tone, but with a chilling chill, "I've been asked to give you a gift." He reached into his pocket and slowly pulled out a black box...

The expert frowned, his intuition told him that the man in front of him was definitely not a good person. He calmly protected Su Li behind him and asked in a cold tone: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The man smiled nonchalantly and held up the black box in his hand. "Don't be nervous. I'm just an errand boy. The things in it are what you've worked so hard to get."

"What is that?" Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a bad premonition came to her mind.

The man didn't answer, but smiled mysteriously, then threw the box to the ground. With a muffled "bang", the box popped open and several photos fell out.

Su Li looked closely and her face turned pale instantly. The photo showed Gu Jinyan, who was tied to a chair, his eyes closed, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"What did you do to him?!" Su Li roared and rushed forward, but was stopped by the expert.

"Don't be impulsive!" the expert whispered, "They want to provoke you so that they can take advantage of you."

The man looked at Su Li, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, "If you don't want him to die, just listen to me. Come alone to the dock warehouse at 8 o'clock tonight. Remember, don't call the police, otherwise..." He made a gesture of wiping his neck, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Su Li was trembling all over, tears welling up in her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain.

The expert patted her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will find a way to save him."

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that now was not the time to be sad, and she had to cheer up in order to save Gu Jinyan.

As night fell and the lights came on, Su Li drove to the dock warehouse alone. The warehouse was pitch black, with only a few rays of moonlight coming in through the broken windows, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The air was filled with a rotten smell that made people sick. Su Li's heart was beating hard, but she told herself not to be afraid because Gu Jinyan was still waiting for her.

She walked into the warehouse cautiously, and in the faint moonlight, she vaguely saw several dark shadows standing deep in the warehouse.

"You're here." A deep voice sounded, echoing in the empty warehouse.

Su Li tightly grasped the self-defense spray in her hand and walked step by step towards the direction where the sound came from.

With a "click", the lights in the warehouse suddenly came on, and the dazzling light made Su Li subconsciously close his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Gu Jinyan was tied to a pillar in the middle of the warehouse, his face was covered with scars, and his clothes were torn to shreds.

"Jin Yan!" Su Li exclaimed and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by several men in black.

"Don't move!" the leading man in black warned fiercely, "Otherwise, I'll let him taste the bullet!"

Su Li was forced to stop, tears blurring her vision. She looked at Gu Jinyan, her heart aching.

"What do you want?" Su Li asked coldly, suppressing the grief in her heart.

The man in black sneered, took out a dagger from his pocket, and gently slashed it across Gu Jinyan's cheek.

"It's simple, I want you to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black rushed towards Su Li at the same time. Su Li was unable to dodge and was kicked to the ground by one of the men in black.

"Su Li!" Gu Jinyan's eyes were bloodshot and he struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restraints, but to no avail.

Just as the man in black was about to stab Su Li with his dagger, at the critical moment, a black shadow flashed by and knocked the man in black away.

"Who?!" The leading man in black looked around vigilantly.

"The person who wants your life!"

With a roar, Gu Jinyan appeared at the door of the warehouse...

Gu Jinyan's appearance was completely unexpected to everyone. He was like a god of war descending from the sky, exuding a cold and sharp aura, completely different from his usual gentle and elegant image.

He moved swiftly and fiercely, and knocked the remaining black-clothed men to the ground in no time. Before Su Li could react, he had already rushed to her, helped her up, and looked her up nervously, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Su Li shook her head, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red. "I'm fine. How about you? Did they treat you..."

"I'm fine." Gu Jinyan held her tightly in his arms, with a hint of fear in his tone, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..." Su Li buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling a sense of relief for surviving a disaster.

At this time, the mysterious man who had been standing in the dark walked out. He was tall and wore a black baseball cap with the brim pulled down so low that his face could not be seen clearly.

"Are you all right?" His voice was low and hoarse, without any emotion.

"It was you who saved us?" Gu Jinyan looked at him warily, his eyes full of inquiry.

The mysterious man did not answer, but said calmly: "It's not safe here, follow me."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the warehouse. Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other and decided to believe him.

They followed the mysterious man to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. It was overgrown with weeds and rarely visited, making it a perfect hiding place.

"It's safe here for the time being. You guys hide here first. I'll be back soon." The mysterious man said this and turned to leave the factory.

Su Li looked at his back, full of doubts, "Who is he? Why is he helping us?"

Gu Jinyan shook his head, indicating that he couldn't be sure, "Maybe he is someone we know."

As the night deepened, the factory was completely silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects echoing in the empty factory. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side in the corner, neither of them spoke, but they could feel the uneasiness and heaviness in each other's hearts.

"Who is behind all this?" Su Li muttered to himself. Countless images flashed through his mind, but he could not piece together the complete truth.
