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

The air at the press conference seemed to freeze in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Hai.

Flashbulbs flashed wildly, and reporters keenly smelled the smell of gunpowder. They were all excited, as if they had a premonition that a wonderful showdown was about to take place.

Gu Jinyan's expression remained unchanged as he stared at Wang Hai calmly. He said, "Mr. Wang, you have come all the way here. Thank you for your hard work. However, regarding the rumors about the 'Starry Sea' project, I think I have explained it in detail in my speech just now. If you still have questions, you can talk to me privately after the press conference."

Wang Hai smiled contemptuously, his tone full of provocation: "Boss Gu, are you deliberately avoiding my question? Or are you feeling guilty and dare not answer directly?"

His words were sharp and harsh, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, trying to tear a crack on Gu Jinyan's calm face. A murmur suddenly broke out from the audience, and some reporters who didn't know the truth began to whisper to each other, with suspicious eyes moving back and forth between Gu Jinyan and Wang Hai.

Su Li's heart was in her throat. She clenched her fists tightly, and her palms were full of sweat. She knew that Wang Hai came prepared. He carefully planned this farce in order to discredit Gu Group in public and hinder the advancement of the "Starry Sea" project.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and was about to open his mouth to refute, but he saw Su Li stood up from her seat. She walked to Gu Jinyan, picked up the microphone, and looked at Wang Hai firmly: "Mr. Wang, I understand your concern about the 'Starry Sea' project, but I want to remind you that commercial competition should be based on fairness and justice, not malicious slander and rumor attacks."

Her tone was steady but powerful, and her clear eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness. Her sudden appearance and her neither humble nor overbearing attitude surprised everyone present.

Wang Hai obviously didn't expect Su Li to stand up. He was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Miss Su, are you teaching me how to do things? It's not your turn to tell me how to do things."

"I'm just stating the facts." Su Li met his gaze without fear. "The 'Starry Sea' project was developed by our team after years of hard work. Its value and prospects can withstand any test. We welcome any form of questioning, but we will never accept unwarranted slander."

As soon as Su Li finished speaking, she took out a folder from her bag, opened it, handed one of the documents to the staff member, and asked him to project it onto the big screen.

"This is the core data and test report of the 'Starry Sea' project. Anyone can view it." Su Li pointed at the screen, his tone calm and firm, "I believe that facts speak louder than words, and the truth will eventually come out."

Wang Hai's face turned pale. He didn't expect Su Li to be so prepared and so confident in making the key evidence public. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found himself speechless.

The atmosphere at the scene changed again. Reporters turned their cameras to the screen and carefully read the data and reports on it. Their originally skeptical eyes gradually turned into admiration and conviction.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan stood side by side on the stage, their eyes were firm and their expressions were open, like two towering mountains that could not be shaken in the slightest no matter how strong the wind and rain.

After the press conference, Su Li and Gu Jinyan returned to the office. Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, today is all thanks to you."

Su Li smiled slightly: "We are husband and wife, we should stick together through thick and thin."

What they didn't know was that their competitors were unwilling to accept defeat. They planned a bigger conspiracy and prepared to deal a fatal blow to Gu's company at the charity dinner... The victory at the press conference gave Su Li and Gu Jinyan a brief respite. But they all knew that their competitors would not give up and that greater challenges were still to come. As expected, an anonymous email was sent to Gu Jinyan's mailbox. There was only one sentence in the email: "Charity dinner, the show begins."

Gu Jinyan's face was solemn as he told Su Li the contents of the email. Su Li frowned slightly, feeling uneasy. "What do they want to do? Are they trying to harm us at the dinner?"

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand with a firm look in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

The charity dinner is an annual event in City A, and celebrities from all walks of life will attend. As one of the organizers, the Gu family naturally has to make careful preparations. After Su Li and Gu Jinyan discussed, they decided to bring the model of the "Starry Sea" project to the dinner to show it, taking this opportunity to introduce the project to more people, and at the same time enhance the image of the Gu Group.

On the day of the banquet, Su Li wore a lavender dress, with her long hair tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck, elegant and beautiful. Gu Jinyan wore a black suit, with an upright figure and extraordinary handsomeness. The two stood together, like a perfect couple, attracting countless eyes.

In the banquet hall, people were drinking and chatting. Su Li and Gu Jinyan were walking among the crowd, chatting and laughing with people from all walks of life. Su Li was always alert, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching them in the dark, making her feel uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's abnormality and asked in a low voice.

Su Li shook her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."

At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out, and the whole hall fell into darkness. The crowd suddenly became agitated, and exclamations came one after another.

"Not good!" Su Li was shocked and subconsciously grabbed Gu Jinyan's arm.

"Ali, do you still remember that night..." Gu Jinyan suddenly spoke with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Su Li understood, "You mean, the day we were followed?"

Gu Jinyan nodded, "I suspect this matter has something to do with the person who followed us that night."

"You mean, it was done by a competitor?" Su Li's tone was a little surprised, and then relieved, "Only they have the motive and ability to do such a thing."

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything. He just took out his phone, played a video and handed it to Su Li. "This is the surveillance video I asked someone to retrieve later. Take a look..."

In the video, a black sedan followed Gu Jinyan and Su Li's car until they returned to the Gu family villa.

"I have asked someone to check the license plate number of this car. I believe there will be results soon." Gu Jinyan's tone was firm, his eyes full of confidence.

Sure enough, as Gu Jinyan expected, the police reported the next day that the owner of the car was an employee of a rival company of the Gu Group.

Under police interrogation, the employee confessed to his crimes, admitting that he was instructed to forge the experimental data of the "Starry Sea" project and spread rumors with the intention of damaging the reputation of the Gu Group and seeking benefits for his own company.

The truth came to light and the Gu Group was vindicated.

The police made the results of the investigation public. After learning the truth, the media and the public took a 180-degree turn towards Gujia Company. They expressed support and sympathy and condemned the despicable behavior of their competitors.

The stock of Gu Group also began to rise, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.

That day, Gu's grandmother called Su Li and Gu Jinyan to the study.

"Children, thank you for your hard work during this period." There was a hint of emotion and relief in the tone of the Gu family's grandmother.

"Grandma..." Gu Jinyan hesitated to speak.

"I know what you want to say." Gu's grandmother interrupted him, "You did a good job, I am very pleased."

She paused, her eyes falling on Su Li, "Ah Li, you did a great job, I was not wrong about you."

Su Li's eyes were slightly moist, "Thank you, grandma."

"Child, the 'Starry Sea' project..." As soon as the grandmother of the Gu family finished her words, she was interrupted by Gu Jinyan.

"Grandma, I will continue to work on 'Starry Sea'!" Gu Jin said with a firm tone, his eyes full of light.

"Good!" Gu's grandmother looked at the young couple in front of her with admiration in her eyes, "I believe in you. The future of the Gu family is in your hands."

The door of the study slowly closed. Grandmother Gu looked at a document on the table with a meaningful smile on her lips.

"I hope you won't let me down this time..." She murmured softly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Outside the study, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto the corridor, casting mottled shadows on the floor. Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked out side by side, both with relaxed smiles on their faces, and the haze that had been weighing on their hearts for many days was swept away.

"Ali, thank you." Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, his deep eyes filled with gratitude and tenderness.

"No need to say thank you between us." Su Lihui held his hand with a gentle smile on her lips.

This crisis has made them more deeply aware of the importance of each other and has made them cherish their feelings for each other even more.

Gu's grandmother looked at the two people leaving and nodded with satisfaction. She picked up the document on the table, which was the plan for the "Starry Sea" project and the hope for the future of the Gu family.

"Jin Yan, A'li, I hope you won't let me down." Gu's grandmother murmured in a low voice, her eyes full of anticipation.

The crisis of Gu Group was resolved. A competitor was arrested by the police on suspicion of commercial crimes. When the news came out, the industry was in an uproar.

The "Starry Sea" project was restarted, and Gu's grandmother decided to give more support to Gu Jinyan and Su Li. She poured all the connections and resources she had accumulated over the years into this project, hoping that it could become the new pillar of the Gu Group.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li lived up to expectations. They devoted themselves to their work and led the team to overcome one technical difficulty after another. The project progressed very smoothly.

Everything was moving in the right direction, and the Gu family had returned to its former peace and warmth.

Beneath the calm surface, there seems to be a hint of unrest.

That night, Su Li received a text message from an unfamiliar number: "Want to know the truth? See you at Starbucks at 12 noon tomorrow."

Su Li's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over her. She held the phone, hesitating whether to tell Gu Jinyan.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's abnormality and asked with concern.

Su Li raised her head and looked at Gu Jinyan's worried eyes, but in the end she did not tell him the content of the text message.

"Nothing, just..." She hesitated and finally put the phone back in her pocket, "I'm just a little tired and want to rest early."

Gu Jinyan had no doubts. He gently held Su Li in his arms and said, "Okay, let's go to bed early."

Su Li leaned in Gu Jinyan's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, but the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

The next day, Su Li found an excuse and went to Starbucks alone. The afternoon sun shone through the French windows into the cafe, and the air was filled with the aroma of coffee. Su Li's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she was nervous. She looked around, trying to find the person who sent the text message in the crowd.

"What you ordered." The waiter placed a cup of cappuccino in front of Su Li and smiled politely.

"Thank you." Su Li forced a smile.

Time passed by, and the mysterious man never showed up. Su Li began to wonder if she was being tricked. Just as she was about to leave, her cell phone rang.

"I've been watching you." A low voice came from the other end of the phone, which made people shudder.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat. She held the phone tightly and forced herself to calm down. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you know." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Su Li's heart sank to the bottom. She didn't know who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, but one thing was certain, the other party was targeting her and Gu Jinyan.

At this moment, Gu Jinyan appeared at the door of the cafe. He saw Su Li at a glance and walked over with big strides.

"Ali, why did you come here alone?" Gu Jinyan noticed that Su Li's face was a little pale, and asked with concern.

Su Li didn't want to make him worry, so she smiled casually, "Nothing, I just wanted to come out for some fresh air."

Gu Jinyan did not ask further questions, but gently hugged her into his arms, "Don't come out alone in the future, tell me everything, understand?"

"Yeah." Su Li leaned in Gu Jinyan's arms, feeling his warm embrace, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated.

After going through this storm, Su Li and Gu Jinyan's feelings deepened. They decided to face future challenges together and no longer give anyone the chance to destroy their happiness.

The incident at the charity dinner greatly raised the profile of Gu's company, and the new project also received more attention and investment. Everything was moving in a good direction, and Gu's family returned to its former peace and warmth.

Just when everything seemed perfect, a mysterious phone call came...

"Mr. Gu, long time no see." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "I want to talk to you about your father..."

Gu Jinyan held the phone in his hand, frowning. He was familiar with the voice on the other end of the line. It was the competitor B who had tried to frame the Gu family and ended up in jail.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Jin's tone was cold, without a trace of warmth.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to share a secret with you, a secret about your father and the bigger secret of the Gu family." Yi's voice was filled with a strange smile. "This secret is enough to destroy the entire Gu family and make you lose everything you have now."

Gu Jinyan clenched the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white. Although he didn't believe Yi's words, he felt a little uneasy. He glanced at Su Li beside him and found that she had also heard the content of the call, and there was a hint of worry in her clear eyes.

"I know what you're thinking, but you have no choice." Person B continued, "I can give you time to think about it, but my patience is limited."

After saying that, B hung up the phone, leaving only a creepy busy tone.
