Gu Jinyan did not deny it, but said calmly: "Let's not talk about the past. Just remember that as long as you do your duty as Mrs. Gu, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. Since I have agreed to your conditions, I will naturally do what I say." Su Li's tone was calm, but there was a hint of alienation.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, and a sense of irritation inexplicably rose in his heart.

He found that he could no longer see through this woman.

She is like a profound book. Every time you open it, you can see different wonderful things, but it is also difficult to figure out her true thoughts.

That night, Su Li returned to her room, turned on her computer as usual and checked her email.

An unsigned email suddenly appeared in the inbox, with a title of only four short words: Don't act rashly.

Su Li's heart trembled. She opened the email and saw only one sentence in it: I know what you have in your hands. I advise you not to act rashly, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Who is it? Who is secretly monitoring her? Su Li tightly grasped the mouse, her fingertips turning white.

Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Who would know the secret she held? Could it be the Su family? No, if it was the Su family, they should have threatened her directly, there was no need to use such a veiled approach.

Could it be... Gu Jinyan? As soon as this thought came to mind, Su Li denied it.

Although Gu Jinyan was cold towards her, he did not show any interest in her secret.

What's more, if he knew the truth, given his character, he would have exposed her long ago.

Who would that be?

Su Li was puzzled.

She checked the email again and again, hoping to find some clues, but unfortunately there was no other information in the email except that sentence.

A feeling of uneasiness spread in Su Li's heart.

She knew that she was walking on a tightrope and could be doomed if she wasn't careful.

She had to find out who had sent the email and what their purpose was.

The next day, Su Li went to the commercial district in the city center on the pretext of work.

She met the man in a cafe.

"You're here." The mysterious man was wearing a hat and sunglasses, his face could not be seen clearly, and his voice was low and hoarse.

"Did you send the email?" Su Li asked straight to the point.

"It's me." The mysterious man nodded, "I know you've been in trouble recently, I can help you."

"Why are you helping me?" Su Li asked warily. She didn't believe that there would be any good things in this world without any reason.

The mysterious man chuckled, his tone carrying a hint of meaning, "Because we have a common enemy."

Su Li's heart was shocked. Could it be... "Who are you? What do you know?"

The mysterious man did not answer, but pushed a USB flash drive in front of Su Li, "The things in it can solve your current predicament. Remember, don't act rashly. I will contact you again when the time is right."

After saying that, the mysterious man stood up and left the cafe, disappearing into the crowd.

Su Li held the USB drive in her hand, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know who this mysterious man was, nor what his purpose was, but she knew she had no choice.

It was already evening when Su Li returned to the Gu family villa.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden spots on the floor.

She tiredly placed her handbag on the cabinet at the entrance, but suddenly heard a low voice coming from the study.

"Are you sure? Is the information reliable?" Gu Jinyan's voice was cold.

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Gu. I've already checked it out. Miss Su... was indeed married off..."

The person who spoke was Gu Jinyan's assistant. His voice became smaller and smaller, and he was obviously frightened by the chill emanating from Gu Jinyan.

Su Li's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Marrying in place of someone else... Did Gu Jinyan know something? Without thinking too much, she quickly walked to the door of the study and knocked gently.

"Come in." Gu Jinyan's voice was still cold, without any ups and downs.

Su Li took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

In the study, Gu Jinyan sat in front of a large desk. The afterglow of the setting sun outlined a golden contour on his stern profile, making him seem even more distant and unapproachable.

Seeing Su Li, Gu Jinyan's originally cold eyes instantly ignited with rage. He stood up abruptly, slammed the documents in his hand on the table, pointed at Su Li, and said word by word: "Su Li, do you have anything else to explain?"

Su Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she was almost suffocating.

"What? You have nothing to say?" Gu Jinyan sneered, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "Su Li, I always thought you were a kind and sincere woman, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming and deceive me for so long!"

"No, Jin Yan, listen to my explanation..." Su Li wanted to get closer to Gu Jin Yan, but was forced back by his eyes, "Things are not what you think..."

"What is that like?" Gu Jinyan pressed on, "Do you dare to say that you are not the real daughter of the Su family? Do you dare to say that you didn't marry me for the benefit of the Su family?"

"I..." Su Li was speechless. She really couldn't deny these facts.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again." Gu Jinyan turned around and didn't look at Su Li's pale face. His tone was cold and there was no room for maneuver.

"Jin Yan, listen to me, I..." Su Li wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Gu Jinyan.

"roll!"

That one word, like a sharp blade, pierced Su Li's heart.

She staggered back a few steps, her vision went dark, and she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Okay, I'm leaving," Su Li took a deep breath, "but you have to believe me, I never thought of deceiving you, one day, you will understand me..."

Before Su Li could finish her words, she was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Sir, the master is here and said he has something important to discuss with you." The servant lowered his head and said respectfully.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, "Got it, let him wait for me in the living room."

Su Li's heart sank again. Why would her father come at this time? Could it be...

Before she could think about it, she heard Gu Jinyan's cold voice again: "Are you still not leaving? Do you want me to ask someone to ask you to leave?"

The servant's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Su Li's heart hard.

She almost subconsciously looked at Gu Jinyan, but only saw his cold profile.

Did he know what his father was going to say? Would he believe her?

Before she could figure it out, Gu Jinyan had already stretched out his long legs and walked straight out of the study.

Su Li stood there, feeling cold all over, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
