The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

As soon as Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen stepped into the house, they couldn't wait to open the USB flash drive given by the mysterious man. A series of encrypted files quickly popped up on the computer screen, and Huo Yanshen skillfully cracked the complex security measures.

"Oh my god," Su Wanwan gasped, "These data...are simply unbelievable."

The screen showed a huge global financial network map, showing how the "Phoenix Project" manipulated the world's major financial markets through sophisticated algorithms. What was even more shocking was that there were actually shadows of many international giants and politicians behind this plan.

Huo Yanshen looked solemn. "This is far more complicated than we thought. If this information is true, we may have evidence that can change the world."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Ming calling.

"Mr. Su, this is bad!" Zhang Ming's voice was filled with anxiety. "Green Wing Technology suddenly announced the termination of the merger and acquisition negotiations with us, and they have begun to contact other potential buyers."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, "What? How could this happen?"

"It is said that our due diligence was too stringent, which made them feel that they were not trusted," Zhang Ming explained. "Now there are rumors in the market that we deliberately made things difficult in order to lower the acquisition price."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances and realized that this might be a counterattack by Green Wing Technology.

"I'll go back to the company right away," Su Wanwan said decisively, "Gather the core team, we need to formulate a response strategy immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and said, "It seems that our investigation has alarmed the other party. They want to force us to surrender by suspending the merger."

Huo Yanshen nodded. "This is indeed a tricky situation. If we give up the merger, we will lose the opportunity to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Phoenix Project. However, if we force our way forward, we may face greater risks."

Su Wanwan's eyes were firm. "We can't back down. This is not only related to the interests of the company, but also to the security of the entire financial system. We must find a way to turn the situation around."

Half an hour later, in the meeting room of Huo Group.

The core management team has gathered together, and everyone's face is full of worry.

Su Wanwan looked around and said, "Everyone, I believe you have all heard the news that Green Wing Technology has terminated the merger negotiations. Now, I need to hear your opinions."

Financial Director Li Qiang spoke first: "Mr. Su, I think we should stop the loss in time. There are many doubts about the financial situation of Green Wing Technology. Continuing to promote the merger and acquisition may bring huge risks to the company."

Zhang Ming from the Marketing Department agreed: "Yes, and the market is not favorable to us right now. If we insist on continuing, it may affect the company's reputation."

Liu Hui from the Legal Department disagreed: "However, if we give up, we will not only lose a lot of resources invested in the early stage, but also miss an important market opportunity."

The discussion lasted nearly two hours, but it was difficult to reach a consensus.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen suddenly said: "Everyone, I have an idea."

Everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Huo Yanshen said slowly: "We can do the opposite. Since Green Wing Technology believes that our investigation is too harsh, then we will publicly express our willingness to relax the conditions and even increase the acquisition price."

“This is too risky!” Li Qiang exclaimed, “How can we raise the bid when we know the other party has problems?”

Huo Yanshen smiled and explained: "This is exactly the key. Our goal is not to acquire it at a higher price, but to dispel Green Wing Technology's vigilance and get them to return to the negotiation table. Once the negotiations resume, we will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their true situation."

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up, "I see. We can take this opportunity to further infiltrate Green Wing Technology and obtain more information about the 'Phoenix Project'."

There was a buzz of discussion in the conference room. Although some people were skeptical, most people were attracted by this bold plan.

"Okay, let's do it," Su Wanwan decided. "Zhang Ming, you immediately draft a statement to express our sincerity in continuing to advance the merger. Li Qiang, you prepare a new financial plan. Liu Hui, you make sure that every step we take is legal and compliant."

After the meeting, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen returned to the office.

"Do you really think this plan will work?" Su Wanwan asked with some concern.

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand. "We have no choice. If we don't take action, we will never be able to reveal the truth about the Phoenix Project."

Su Wanwan nodded, "You are right. However, we still need to remain vigilant. The power behind Green Wing Technology should not be underestimated."

Just then, Su Wanwan's assistant knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Wang from Green Wing Technology wants to speak to you."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances and saw surprise and caution in each other's eyes.

"Please answer it," Su Wanwan said, turning on the speakerphone.

“Mr. Su,” Wang Ming’s voice came through the phone, “I just saw the statement released by your company. I have to say, I am surprised.”

Su Wanwan remained calm. "Mr. Wang, we have always believed that Green Wing Technology is a very promising partner. We are deeply sorry for the previous misunderstandings. We hope to restart the negotiations."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Wang Ming said, "In that case, why don't we sit down and talk again? How about tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, still in our company?"

“No problem, we will be there on time.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems they have taken the bait."

Huo Yanshen nodded, "But we have to be careful. This could be a trap."

The next morning, Su Wanwan led the Huo Group team to Green Wing Technology. In the conference room, the two sides resumed a heated discussion.

Wang Ming got straight to the point: "Mr. Su, I appreciate your sincerity. However, we still have some concerns. For example, you have raised many questions about our company's financial situation before."

Su Wanwan was prepared: "Mr. Wang, I apologize for the previous misunderstanding. In fact, after further evaluation, we believe that the value of Green Wing Technology may be higher than we initially estimated. Therefore, we are prepared to increase the acquisition price."

Wang Ming's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly regained his composure: "This is indeed good news. However, we still need some specific guarantees."

In the next few hours, the two sides had an in-depth discussion on the acquisition price, transaction structure, management rights, etc. Su Wanwan noticed that whenever some sensitive topics were involved, Wang Ming would always subconsciously look towards a corner of the conference room.

Taking advantage of the break, Su Wanwan whispered to Huo Yanshen: "There might be something wrong in that corner. We have to find a way to check it out."

Huo Yanshen nodded and quickly made a plan.

After the negotiations resumed, Huo Yanshen suddenly stood up and said, "Sorry, I need to take a call." As he said that, he walked towards the suspicious corner.

Just as he was about to approach his target, he was suddenly "accidentally" tripped by a chair and fell to the corner. During this process, he quickly scanned the entire area with a micro camera.

"Mr. Huo, are you okay?" Wang Ming quickly stood up and helped him.

Huo Yan smiled apologetically, "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired. Let's continue."

After returning to his seat, Huo Yanshen gave Su Wanwan a look, indicating that he had discovered something.

The negotiations lasted until the evening. Although there were still some details that needed to be further discussed, the two sides basically reached a consensus.

After leaving Green Wing Technology, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen immediately checked the video footage from the micro camera.

"Look," Huo Yanshen pointed at the screen, "there is a hidden camera in that corner, and there is also a micro signal transmitter. They may have been monitoring us."

Su Wanwan frowned and thought, "This shows that they are indeed hiding something. We must speed up our actions."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly received an encrypted text message:

"Beware the Black Claw. Thunder is coming in 48 hours. Be prepared."
