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

Outside the Gu Group building, dozens of media outlets pointed their cameras at the main entrance, and flash lights went off one after another, making the already tense atmosphere even more tense.

"Mr. Gu, there are rumors online that Gu Group's new project is suspected of plagiarism. What is your response to this?"

"Ms. Su, as the design director of Gu Group, do you admit that the design of the new product was copied from Wang Group?"

"Many shareholders of Gu Group have jointly requested a board meeting, questioning Mr. Gu's leadership ability. Would you consider resigning?"

The reporters' aggressive questions were like a string of cannonballs, surrounding Su Li and Gu Jinyan. Gu Jinyan's face was ashen, and he exuded a cold aura. He was about to speak, but Su Li gently pulled his sleeve.

Su Li took a deep breath and showed a calm smile on her face. She picked up the microphone and her clear voice was particularly clear in the noisy environment: "Dear media friends, we are very sorry for what happened today. I can tell you clearly that all the designs of Gu Group's new projects are original. We have complete intellectual property rights certification. We reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility for any malicious defamation."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Su Li, don't think that you can cover the sky with one hand just because you married Jin Yan! You are just an adopted daughter who was kicked out of the Su family. What qualifications do you have to speak nonsense here?!"

The person who spoke was Gu Jinyan's aunt, Gu Shufen. She had always been dissatisfied with Su Li marrying Gu Jinyan, and this time she took the opportunity to make trouble and tried to stir up conflicts within the family.

Gu Jinyan glanced at her coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Aunt, this is an internal matter of the company, I hope you don't interfere."

"You..." Gu Shufen took a step back in fear of his look, but still said unwillingly, "Jin Yan, don't forget that your father is still lying in the hospital! Are you going to watch the Gu Group destroyed in your hands?"

Gu Jinyan's face instantly became extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, and veins popped out on his forehead. At this moment, a black car came speeding over and stopped in front of everyone...

The door of the black car opened, and a man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked down quickly. He walked in front of Su Li and Gu Jinyan and nodded slightly: "Mr. Gu, Miss Su, I am Lawyer Wang."

Gu Jinyan nodded slightly. Lawyer Wang is the chief legal advisor of Gu Group. He is smart and capable and enjoys a high reputation in the industry.

"I have already found out that the rumors on the Internet were maliciously spread by competitors. They also bribed several media outlets in an attempt to use this opportunity to suppress the share price of Gu Group." Lawyer Wang briefly explained the situation and handed a document to Gu Jinyan. "This is the evidence we collected, which is enough to prove the innocence of Gu Group."

Gu Jinyan took the document, glanced through it quickly, and sneered: "Very good, since they want to play, we will play with them to the end."

An hour later, Gu Group held an emergency press conference in the top floor conference room. Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat side by side on the podium, facing the crowd of media reporters below the stage, their faces were not panicked at all, but appeared more calm and composed.

Gu Jinyan turned on the microphone, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "Dear media friends, I have called you all here today to clarify the recent rumors on the Internet about my company's new project. I can tell you responsibly that these rumors are all groundless and malicious slander. We have obtained solid evidence and will pursue the legal responsibility of the rumormongers in accordance with the law."

He paused, threw the document in his hand on the table, and continued: "This document contains all the design drawings, patent certificates and test reports of our new project. Anyone can view it. If anyone has any questions about our products, please feel free to come to the company to verify it."

Su Li continued, "As the design director of Gu's Group, I can guarantee with my personality that the design of our new project is absolutely original, and we have complete intellectual property rights certification."

The reporters in the audience looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally thought that the Gu Group would be doomed this time, but they had not expected that they had been prepared in advance and had produced such sufficient evidence.

"Mr. Gu, who do you think is maliciously slandering the Gu Group behind this?"

"Miss Su, what do you think of this incident?"

The reporters' questions came like a tide, and Gu Jinyan and Su Li answered them calmly one by one. Their answers were logically clear and the evidence was solid, which convinced all the reporters present.

After the press conference, major media outlets reported the innocence of the Gu Group, and the direction of public opinion reversed instantly.

In the office on the top floor of the Gu Group Building, Gu Jinyan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire city, with a cold smile on his lips.

"Do you think this is the end?" He muttered to himself, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "This game has just begun..."

The victory at the press conference was just the calm before the storm. Gu Jinyan knew that his opponent would not give up and would definitely come back.

As expected, late that night, a fire suddenly broke out in the Gu Group's factory in the suburbs. The raging fire shot up into the sky, lighting up half the sky, and thick smoke, accompanied by a pungent smell, filled the air.

"Mr. Gu, something bad has happened at the factory!" Assistant Wang Feng rushed into Gu Jinyan's office in a panic, his face pale and beads of sweat on his forehead.

Gu Jinyan stood up suddenly, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "What's going on? Explain it clearly!"

"A fire broke out in the factory. The fire was fierce. The fire brigade has rushed there, but..." Wang Feng's voice trembled a little. He didn't dare to imagine the consequences. This factory was the most important production base of the Gu Group. Once it was destroyed, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Are there any casualties?" Su Li's heart was in her throat, and she asked anxiously.

"It's not clear yet. The fire is too big and the firefighters are still working hard to control it." Wang Feng's voice became lower and lower. He knew that in this situation, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would be injured.

Gu Jinyan made a prompt decision, picked up his coat, and told Wang Feng, "Arrange a car immediately and go to the factory!"

Su Li followed closely behind. She knew that at this time, she had to stand with Gu Jinyan and face this sudden crisis together.

On the highway late at night, a black car sped past, its headlights cutting through the darkness, leaving streaks of light and shadows. The atmosphere in the car was extremely depressing, Gu Jinyan's face was livid, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were white. Su Li held his hand tightly, trying to give him some strength.

When they arrived at the factory, they were shocked by what they saw. The raging fire engulfed everything, leaving only ruins and a pungent smell of burning in the air. Firefighters were struggling to put out the fire, but it was still fierce and difficult to control.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Su, why are you here? It's too dangerous here!" When the factory manager, Lao Li, saw them, he came up to them anxiously. His face was covered with dust and sweat, and his clothes had several holes burned in them.

"What's the situation? Are there any casualties?" Gu Jinyan's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

"Preliminary estimates suggest that someone deliberately set the fire. We found flammable liquids and lighters in the warehouse." Lao Li's voice was filled with anger and grief. "Fortunately, we received an anonymous call in advance and evacuated the workers in time. There are currently no casualties."

"Anonymous call?" Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and at the same time, they were puzzled. Who called them? Could it be that the mastermind of this conspiracy had a change of heart?

Gu Jinyan's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and answered the call.

"Mr. Gu, long time no see." A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "It seems that your factory is not peaceful tonight."

"It's you!" Gu Jinyan recognized the other person's voice and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, it's me. How about this gift? Do you like it?" The other party smiled proudly, "I warned you a long time ago not to fight with me, but you didn't believe me. This is the price!"

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Jinyan asked coldly, suppressing his anger.

"I want to ruin your reputation and make you lose everything!" The other party's voice was full of resentment. "I will let you watch with your own eyes as your company, your woman, and everything you have are destroyed in my hands!"

"You're dreaming!" Gu Jinyan roared.

The other party laughed wildly: "You will know soon whether it is a dream or not!"

The call was hung up, and Gu Jinyan's face became terribly gloomy. He held the phone tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.

"Who is it?" Su Li felt the cold aura emanating from him and asked worriedly.

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at the flames rising into the sky, his eyes flashing with determination: "Yes..."

"Mr. Gu, we have found some clues!" Wang Feng suddenly ran over and interrupted him.

Gu Jinyan and Su Li turned to look at him at the same time. Wang Feng looked solemn and said in a low voice: "We retrieved the surveillance video near the factory and found..."
