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

Su Wanwan stood on the top floor of the Huo Group headquarters building, overlooking the bustling city night scene. The joy of the successful acquisition of Green Wing Technology has not completely dissipated, and new challenges have quietly arrived. On her mobile phone screen, the mysterious text message is still flashing: "'Black Claw' will not give up easily. Stay alert, the storm is coming."

The door of the office was gently pushed open, and Huo Yanshen walked in. "The board meeting just ended," he said, with a trace of fatigue on his face, "The old man is very dissatisfied with our actions."

Su Wanwan turned around and raised her eyebrows. "I guessed it. After all, we took such a big risk."

Huo Yanshen walked over to his wife and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "But you know what? I have never been so proud of you as I am now. Your performance at the board meeting was simply outstanding."

Recalling the board meeting a few hours ago, Su Wanwan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At the beginning of the board meeting, Mr. Huo expressed his dissatisfaction directly: "Wanwan, you are too reckless! Raising the acquisition price by 25% is simply risking the company's future!"

Other directors echoed this, and the conference room was filled with questioning and critical voices.

At this moment, Su Wanwan stood up. Her voice was not loud, but she was very firm: "Dear directors, I understand your concerns. However, please allow me to explain our decision."

She opened the prepared slides and began to elaborate on Green Wing Technology's technical advantages and market potential. Data, charts and analysis were presented one by one, and every detail was carefully prepared.

"Green Wing Technology's 'Phoenix Project' is not just an ordinary fintech project," Su Wanwan said with a determined gleam in her eyes, "it has the potential to completely change the landscape of the global financial market. If we successfully integrate this technology, the Huo Group will maintain its absolute industry leadership in the next decade."

As Su Wanwan spoke, the directors' expressions gradually changed from suspicion to surprise, and finally to sincere admiration.

“But,” Su Wanwan changed the subject, “this technology also carries huge risks. If it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. That’s why we must obtain it at all costs and ensure that it is used properly.”

At the end of the meeting, most directors expressed their support for Su Wanwan's decision. But Mr. Huo's face was still gloomy.

"You did a good job," Huo Yanshen said softly at the end of the meeting, "but we still have greater challenges waiting for us. 'Black Claw' will not give up."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone rang again. It was Zhang Ming, the marketing director.

"Mr. Su, this is bad!" Zhang Ming's voice was filled with anxiety. "A lot of negative news about our company suddenly appeared on the Internet. Some people accused us of insider trading during the acquisition process!"

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other, and saw vigilance in each other's eyes. "It seems that the counterattack of 'Black Claw' came faster than we expected," Su Wanwan said.

"We must take action immediately," Huo Yanshen said, "I will contact the public relations team. You can take a look at the specific content of the news first."

In the next few hours, the entire Huo Group fell into chaos. The public relations team drafted a statement overnight, the legal department prepared to deal with possible legal risks, and Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen tried hard to find the source of these negative news.

At three o'clock in the morning, when all emergency measures had been deployed, Su Wanwan finally had time to carefully read the negative news.

"Yan Shen, look at this," she suddenly called out, "The wording and arguments in these news reports are strikingly similar to those in the articles that attacked us before. I suspect it's the same person or the same team behind this."

Huo Yanshen came over to take a look and nodded: "You are right. I will ask Wang He to trace the IP addresses of these articles."

At this moment, Wang He called. "Mr. Huo, Mr. Su," he said with a hint of excitement, "I found something interesting. The source of all this negative news seems to point to a mysterious organization called 'Truth Investigation Agency'."

"Truth Investigation Society?" Su Wanwan frowned, "I've never heard of this organization."

“The problem is,” Wang He continued, “the registration information of this organization is very suspicious. I tried to trace its background, but all the clues were interrupted at an overseas shell company.”

Huo Yanshen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wait, overseas shell companies? This reminds me of something. Wanwan, remember those suspicious fund flows we found when we investigated the 'Black Claw' before?"

Su Wanwan suddenly realized: "You mean, the 'Truth Investigation Agency' might be a cover for the 'Black Claw'?"

"It's very likely," Huo Yanshen nodded, "We need more evidence to confirm this. Wang He, you continue to investigate in depth. No matter what the cost, we must find out the truth."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan let out a long sigh of relief, "It seems that we have really stepped into a game that is more dangerous than we imagined."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand. "But we have no choice. If Black Claw can really control the global financial market, the consequences will be disastrous."

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

"You have alerted someone. Be careful, someone is watching your every move. See you at the Financial Summit in three days."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and realized that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond their imagination.

"Financial summit?" Su Wanwan frowned and thought, "It is a gathering of the world's top financial tycoons and politicians. If 'Black Claw' intends to take action there..."

"It will be an earth-shattering contest," Huo Yanshen took over the conversation, his eyes gleaming with determination, "but it is also our best chance to reveal the truth."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath. "We need a thorough plan. Not only do we have to deal with the conspiracy of the 'Black Claw', but we also have to convince those financial giants to trust us."

In the next two days, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen hardly left their house, devoting themselves to the preparations. They repeatedly pondered every detail and rehearsed various possible situations.

At the same time, the entire company was busy. Zhang Ming led the public relations team to work day and night to change the direction of public opinion. Li Qiang led the financial team to prepare a detailed data report to prove the innocence of the Huo Group in the acquisition process.

On the eve of the financial summit, Su Wanwan received an unexpected call from Mr. Huo.

"Wanwan," the old man's voice sounded unusually serious, "you must be extremely careful at tomorrow's summit. I just got the news that some people are very dissatisfied with your actions. They may make trouble at the summit."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, "Grandpa, you mean..."

"I'm not in a position to go into detail about the situation," the old man interrupted her, "but I just want to remind you that in the business world, sometimes the enemy may be closer than you think. Remember, no matter what happens, protect yourself and Yan Shen. The interests of the company are important, but your safety is more important."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan fell into deep thought. Mr. Huo's warning made her realize that this game might be more complicated than they thought.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yanshen walked over and asked with concern.

Su Wanwan repeated the old man's words and said, "I always feel that there is something behind what the old man said. He seems to know something, but he can't say it clearly."

Huo Yan thought for a moment, "Perhaps, we should not only be wary of the 'Black Claw', but also be wary of threats from within."

Su Wanwan nodded. "No matter what, we have to be very alert tomorrow. This may be our only chance to reveal the truth."

The next morning, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen arrived at the financial summit. The venue was filled with financial giants and political and business leaders from all over the world. The air was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

"Are you ready?" Huo Yanshen asked in a low voice.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded. She knew that the next few hours would determine the fate of the Huo Group and might also change the entire financial world.

At this moment, the door to the venue opened again. A familiar figure walked in, attracting everyone's attention.

Su Wanwan took a breath and said, "That is..."

Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with surprise and vigilance. "Cheng Yuan. Why is he here?"

Cheng Yuan, a business rival who had clashed with the Huo Group many times, was now walking towards them with a confident smile.

"Long time no see, President Su, President Huo," Cheng Yuan said politely, "It seems we will meet again on the battlefield."

Su Wanwan forced herself to remain calm and responded politely: "Mr. Cheng, I didn't expect to see you here."

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "Oh, I was just invited to give a small report. By the way, I heard that you recently acquired Green Wing Technology? It's really an amazing move."

His tone sounded like praise, but Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen both keenly captured the hidden threat in it.

At this moment, the conference host announced the official start of the summit. Cheng Yuan nodded to them and said, "I look forward to your wonderful performance." Then he turned and walked to his seat.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that the real competition had just begun.

As the meeting progressed, various financial tycoons took turns to speak on stage. When it was Su Wanwan's turn, the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became tense.

Standing on the podium, facing hundreds of scrutinizing eyes from the audience, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and began her carefully prepared speech.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” she said in a firm and powerful voice, “Today, I would like to discuss with you a major issue concerning global financial security.”

As Su Wanwan's speech progressed, the atmosphere in the venue gradually became solemn. When she began to reveal the conspiracy of the "Black Claw", there was an uproar at the scene.

At this moment, Cheng Yuan suddenly stood up. "Mr. Su," he said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Do you have any evidence to support these shocking accusations?"

Su Wanwan was prepared. "Of course, Mr. Cheng. Please look at the big screen."

As a series of data and evidence were presented, the scene was once again in shock. But the real thrill was yet to come.

Just as Su Wanwan was about to present the most crucial evidence, the power suddenly went out in the venue. In the chaos, Su Wanwan felt someone push her in the dark. She staggered and almost fell off the podium.

When the lights came back on, Su Wanwan found that her speech materials were gone. Cheng Yuan was standing in the audience with a confident smile on his face.
