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

The police car roared into the detention center in the city center, and Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were taken to different interrogation rooms. The cold metal chair made Su Wanwan shudder, but her eyes remained firm. She knew that behind this seemingly sudden arrest, there must be the shadow of "Black Claw".

The door of the interrogation room was pushed open and a middle-aged police officer with a serious face walked in.

"Ms. Su Wanwan," the police officer said after sitting down, "I am Captain Li from the Economic Investigation Team. I believe you already know the reason why you were arrested."

Su Wanwan calmly replied, “Excuse me, Captain Li. I don’t know the specific reason. My husband and I have been operating the company legally and have never been involved in any illegal activities.”

Captain Li sneered and threw a stack of documents on the table: "What are these? A series of suspicious transactions of the Huo Group in recent years, and your personal offshore accounts. Are these all coincidences?"

Su Wanwan looked through the documents carefully and was shocked. Although these so-called evidences seemed real, she knew they were all forged. The methods of "Black Claw" were more vicious than she had imagined.

“Captain Li,” Su Wanwan took a deep breath, “these so-called evidences are all forged. I can explain…”

"That's enough!" Captain Li interrupted her. "Now is not the time for you to explain. We already have enough evidence. If you are willing to cooperate and tell us everything, maybe you can get a lighter sentence."

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was pushed open again, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.

“Captain Li,” the man showed an ID, “I am Special Envoy Chen from the Ministry of State Security. This case involves national security, and we will take over from now on.”

Captain Li was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly stood up and reluctantly left the interrogation room.

Special Commissioner Chen sat down opposite Su Wanwan and said in a low voice, "Ms. Su, we know that you and your husband were wrongly accused. We have been secretly investigating the matter of the 'Black Claw'."

Su Wanwan was delighted, but still remained alert: "How do you prove that you are not from the Black Claw?"

Special Agent Chen smiled bitterly: "Smart. In fact, it was Mr. Zhang Dezhong who contacted us before he was arrested. He told us about the USB flash drive."

Hearing this name, Su Wanwan relaxed a little, but she still did not reveal the whereabouts of the USB flash drive.

"The situation is urgent now," Special Agent Chen continued, "'Black Claw' has begun full-scale operation. We need your cooperation with Huo Yanshen to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Where is Huo Yanshen?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

“He’s safe,” Special Agent Chen soothed. “Now, I need you to listen carefully to me. The next move is extremely dangerous, but it may be our only chance…”

At the same time, in the Huo Group building, Zhang Ming, the marketing director, was pacing back and forth anxiously. Ever since Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were taken away, the entire company had been in chaos.

Suddenly, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Zhang Ming answered the phone cautiously.

"Director Zhang," a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "I think you must be very troubled now?"

Zhang Ming asked cautiously: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am," the man chuckled. "What matters is that I can help you. As long as you are willing to cooperate, you can not only keep your position, but also become the new helmsman of the Huo Group."

Zhang Ming took a breath and said, "What do you mean?"

"It's simple," the man continued, "We all know that Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen are no longer safe from the law. The company needs a new leader. And you, Director Zhang, are the most suitable candidate."

Zhang Ming was silent for a moment, his mind was torn. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do?"

“Very good,” the man seemed satisfied, “First, you need to convene the board of directors and propose to temporarily take over the company. Then…”

When Zhang Ming hung up the phone, his eyes had become firm. He knew that he was about to embark on a road of no return. But for the sake of his years of hard work and his own ambitions, he had no choice.

The next morning, the Huo Group held an emergency board meeting. Zhang Ming stood in the middle of the meeting room and looked around at every director present.

"Everyone," he began, his voice full of confidence, "given the current special circumstances, I propose that I temporarily take over the daily operations of the company. We must stabilize the morale of the troops and restore the company's reputation."

The directors were talking among themselves. Finally, the financial director, Li Qiang, stood up.

“I agree with Director Zhang’s proposal,” Li Qiang said, “but we still need a more comprehensive plan to deal with the current crisis.”

Zhang Ming smiled slightly: "Of course, I have prepared a detailed plan. First, we need..."

Just as Zhang Ming was talking, there was a commotion outside the office, and then the door was pushed open.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen strode in, escorted by a group of police officers.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting," Su Wanwan's voice was as cold as ice, "but I think there are some things that need to be clarified immediately."

Zhang Ming's face turned pale instantly. He didn't expect Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen to come back so soon. What frightened him even more was that the mysterious Special Envoy Chen followed behind them.

"Director Zhang," Huo Yanshen said coldly, "It seems that you are very anxious to take over the company?"

Zhang Ming tried to remain calm: "Boss Huo, you misunderstood. I am only thinking about the company..."

“That’s enough!” Su Wanwan interrupted him. “We already have evidence. Not only did you collude with Black Claw, you also planned to take advantage of the opportunity to seize control of the company.”

Special Commissioner Chen stepped forward and took out the handcuffs: "Mr. Zhang Ming, you are suspected of being involved in major economic crimes. You are now under arrest according to the law."

There was an uproar in the conference room. The directors looked at this scene in surprise, unable to believe that things would take such a turn.

Just as the police were about to take Zhang Ming away, he suddenly broke free and took out a remote control from his pocket.

"Don't move!" Zhang Ming shouted hysterically, "I have planted a bomb in the company building. As long as I press this button, everyone will die with me!"

The scene instantly fell into chaos. The police pulled out their guns and pointed them at Zhang Ming. The directors panicked, some hid under the table, and some tried to escape.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw determination in each other's eyes. They knew that they had to take action immediately, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

“Zhang Ming,” Su Wanwan tried to stay calm and took a step forward. “Calm down. We can talk.”

Zhang Ming grinned: "Talk? What is there to talk about now? Su Wanwan, you think you are very smart, right? But you will never know that all this is a trap!"

"What do you mean?" Huo Yan asked with a frown.

"You think you have uncovered the conspiracy of 'Black Claw'?" Zhang Ming laughed wildly, "Too naive! This is just part of a bigger plan. The real black hand is much more terrible than you think!"

At this critical moment, a gunshot suddenly pierced the air. Zhang Ming's wrist was grazed by the bullet and the remote control fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw the financial director, Li Qiang, holding a pistol with smoke coming out of the muzzle.

"Mr. Li..." Su Wanwan was so surprised that she was speechless.

Li Qiang smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Su. In fact, I have always been an undercover agent of the National Security Bureau. Over the years, I have been secretly investigating the 'Black Claw'."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the police quickly subdued Zhang Ming. Special Commissioner Chen stepped forward and picked up the remote control on the ground.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “We’ve already sent people to search the building. No bomb was found. It was just a bluff.”

After the crisis was resolved, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew that this was just the beginning. Zhang Ming's words made her realize that they might have only touched the tip of the iceberg of a larger conspiracy.

“Everyone,” Su Wanwan looked around at the directors who were still in shock, “I know you all have a lot of questions. But right now, the most important thing for us is to unite and get through this difficult time.”

Huo Yanshen took over the conversation: "The days ahead may be difficult. But I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties and make the Huo Group rise again."

The directors nodded in agreement. Although they had just experienced a frightening moment, seeing the determination of Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen, they rekindled their confidence.

After the meeting, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen returned to the office. They smiled at each other, and saw relief and determination in each other's eyes.

"We succeeded," Su Wanwan said softly, "At least we have saved the situation temporarily."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Yes, but this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was an encrypted text message:

“The game has just begun. The real test is coming. Take care.”
