Hidden truth, intricate love

Chapter 10 Fragments of the Truth

Su Wanqing sat at her computer in her office, her brow furrowed. Ever since the dinner incident, she'd been searching for the Gu family's secret, but hadn't made any progress. However, today, while processing routine company documents, she stumbled upon some unusual data patterns.

These data are hidden in Gu Beichen's personal financial statements and seem insignificant, but Su Wanqing, with her keen intuition and professional analytical skills, realizes that they may be clues to the truth. She begins to dig deep into the data, trying to find the secrets hidden behind them.

Su Wanqing used her computer skills to bypass the company's security system and access Gu Beichen's private database. She found that the abnormal data was related to a series of overseas transactions that seemed to have nothing to do with the public business of Gu Group.

Although Su Wanqing discovered these anomalies, she still couldn't determine how they were related to her father's affairs. These fragmented information confused her, and she needed more evidence to verify her guess.

Meanwhile, Gu Beichen also noticed Su Wanqing's unusual behavior. He found that Su Wanqing frequently accessed the company's internal network during work hours, which made him uneasy. He decided to strengthen his surveillance of Su Wanqing while also looking for opportunities to learn more about her background.

Su Wanqing realized that Gu Beichen might have begun to suspect her, and she had to be more careful. She began to investigate after get off work, using public network resources to avoid leaving traces within the company.

Late one night, Su Wanqing sat in a corner of a café, a dim light casting a shadow on her slightly weary face. Her fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, her eyes fixed on the constantly refreshing information on the screen. This café was her secret base, a place where she could temporarily escape the company's surveillance and Gu Beichen's gaze. Su Wanqing searched online for past news reports and public records about the Gu Group. She found a news report from years ago that mentioned a joint project between the Gu Group and an overseas company, a project that was directly linked to the anomalous data she had discovered.

She had spent countless late nights here, and every investigation brought her closer to the truth, but also made her feel heavier. She knew that every click might touch Gu Beichen's sensitive nerves, and every search might put her in greater danger.

The screen displayed a news report from years ago, titled "Secrets of Gu Group's Overseas Cooperation Project Revealed." The report mentioned that Gu Group had partnered with an overseas company, involving the transfer of huge sums of money and some unknown transactions. Su Wanqing's heartbeat quickened, realizing that this might be the key to unlocking her father's unfortunate circumstances.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She needed more evidence, more details, to piece together the complete truth. She began contacting those with inside information mentioned in the news, trying to get more information from them. Her emails and messages flew out like snowflakes, but responses were few and far between. She knew these people might have been bribed by the Gu Group or feared retaliation from it.

Su Wanqing felt a loneliness and helplessness she had never felt before. She began to doubt whether she could truly solve this mystery, whether she could truly seek justice for her father. Her hands paused on the keyboard, and her gaze turned to the window. In the night sky, the stars twinkled faintly, as if telling her something.

Her thoughts drifted back to her first meeting with Gu Beichen. Back then, he was so gentle and elegant that she almost forgot he was a business tycoon. However, as time went on, she gradually saw his cold and cunning side. She began to question whether she truly understood him or was simply being deceived by his appearance.

Her phone suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. It was a message from an anonymous number: "Be careful, you've been targeted." Su Wanqing's heart sank. She knew this wasn't just a warning, it was a reality. She had to be more careful, every step of the way.

She refocused her attention on the screen and continued her investigation. She knew that only by uncovering the truth could her father rest in peace and she herself find relief. She was convinced that no matter how difficult the road ahead, she must persevere.

Su Wanqing decided to dig deeper into the overseas company. Through the internet, she contacted some insiders and gradually pieced together the true face of the project. It involved illegal transactions, and the Gu Group seemed to be a key player.

As the investigation deepened, Su Wanqing collected more evidence, which gradually pieced together the outline of the truth like fragments. She began to believe that Gu Beichen might really be related to her father's misfortune.

However, Su Wanqing was also struggling internally. She didn't want to easily regard Gu Beichen as an enemy, because she had also seen his integrity and professionalism in their interactions. She began to question whether she really understood Gu Beichen or was blinded by her own desire for revenge.

Su Wanqing's fingers paused on the keyboard, her gaze once again fixed on the starry sky outside the window. She thought of Gu Beichen, the man whose charm had once captivated her, but who now left her bewildered and terrified. She recalled the hours they'd spent together at work, the laughter and warmth, the days they'd fought side by side on the business battlefield. She couldn't help but ask herself, were those moments all just a carefully choreographed performance?

Her thoughts were interrupted by a rapid heartbeat, a mixture of fear and anticipation for the truth that was about to be revealed. She knew that once she put the pieces together, she would have to face a truth that could completely change her life. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and continued searching the internet for clues that might be hidden in the darkness.

She opened a new browser window and typed in a keyword she had never thought she'd use: "Gu Beichen, illegal transactions." The search results made her heart race. Obscure reports and anonymous forum posts began to surface. She carefully read each one, trying to find a detail that matched the secret documents in her possession.

Just then, her phone vibrated again. This time, it was a message from a trusted colleague: "Wanqing, be careful. I heard that Mr. Gu is investigating the online activities of some internal personnel recently." This message hit Su Wanqing's heart like a hammer. She realized that her actions might have attracted Gu Beichen's attention, and she had to be more cautious.

She quickly closed all windows related to the investigation, cleared her browsing history, and turned off her computer. She looked around, making sure no one had noticed her unusual behavior. The people in the cafe were still immersed in their own world, and no one noticed the tense atmosphere in this corner.

Su Wanqing stood up, picked up her coat and backpack, and prepared to leave. She knew she couldn't stay here much longer and had to find a safer place to continue her investigation. She left the café, the night breeze brushing against her face, bringing a hint of coolness. She looked up at the starry sky, and the stars seemed to silently support her, giving her courage.

She got into her car, slid into the driver's seat, and took a deep breath. She turned on the interior lights and examined the secret document again. Every word on it was like a hammer, hammering at her soul. She knew that this document could be direct evidence of her father's misfortune, or it could be the end of her relationship with Gu Beichen.

She was struggling internally, a desire for the truth on the one hand, and a complex feeling for Gu Beichen on the other. She closed her eyes, letting her thoughts wander in the darkness. She asked herself, was she really ready to face all this? Was she really ready to unveil this mystery?

When she opened her eyes again, they were filled with determination. No matter what the outcome, she had to know the truth. She started the car and drove off into the night, with only one thought in her mind: no matter how difficult the road ahead, she would move forward.

Su Wanqing's car careened through the night, the city lights flickering on her window like countless questions and answers dancing in the air. She was filled with determination, yet also with a sense of trepidation. She knew that if she made the documents public, her life would be completely changed.

She drove out of the bustling city and onto a small, suburban road. Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and away from Gu Beichen's eyes and ears, she stopped the car, turned on the reading light, and once again examined the secret document. Every word and every chart in the document told her an indisputable truth: a vast conspiracy was hidden behind Gu Group's overseas projects.

Su Wanqing felt an inexplicable surge of courage. She decided that no matter what the consequences of this document might be, she must make it public. She believed that only by doing so could she find answers to her father's misfortune and allow the truth hidden in the darkness to see the light of day.

She pulled out her phone and dialed a familiar number. It was her old friend, Li Ming, who had grown up in an orphanage. When the call connected, Su Wanqing's voice was firm and urgent. "Li Ming, I have something important to show you. It's related to a major secret of the Gu Group."

Li Ming was silent for a moment, then replied in a deep voice, "Wanqing, do you know how dangerous this is? Gu Beichen is not someone you can easily mess with."

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and replied, "I know, but I can't let the truth remain buried in the darkness forever. I need your help."

Li Ming sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay, I'll fly over tomorrow morning. Be careful and don't act rashly."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanqing felt a sense of comfort. At least, she wasn't fighting alone. She put the documents back into her backpack, started the car, and prepared to return to her apartment. She knew she needed to rest well tonight because tomorrow, she would face a tough battle.

Back at her apartment, Su Wanqing didn't go straight to bed. Instead, she sat at her desk and began organizing all the evidence and materials. She needed to ensure that every clue connected to form a complete chain of evidence. Her fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, compiling all the information into a detailed report.

It was already late at night, but Su Wanqing had no desire to sleep. Her heart was filled with anxiety and anticipation for the upcoming battle. She knew that this would be a battle for justice and truth, and no matter the outcome, she would have no regrets.

When she finally finished her report, a glimmer of dawn had appeared outside the window. Su Wanqing stood up, stretched, and then took a deep look at the world outside the window. She knew that from today on, her life would no longer be peaceful. But she also believed that as long as she had the truth in her hands, she had nothing to fear.

She saved the report in the cloud and shut down her computer. She walked to the window, looked at the rising sun, and silently made a wish: May the truth be revealed to the world and may justice be served.
