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

Su Wanwan stood in front of the French window of the top floor office of Huo's Group, overlooking the night view of the city. Although she had just quelled an internal crisis, she knew in her heart that the real challenge had just begun. The content of the mysterious text message still echoed in her mind: "The game has just begun. The real test is coming."

The office door was gently pushed open, and Huo Yanshen walked in. "Wanwan," he called softly, "Are you okay?"

Su Wanwan turned around and forced a smile: "I'm fine. I'm just thinking about what we should do next."

Huo Yanshen walked to his wife and gently put his arm around her shoulders: "Don't worry, we will face it together."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was Li Ling, the vice president of the marketing department.

"Boss Su, this is bad!" Li Ling's voice was filled with anxiety. "We just received news that several major customers have requested to terminate the cooperation! They said... that it was because our company was suspected of illegal operations and they were afraid that it would affect their reputation."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened: "I understand. You stabilize the situation first, and we will hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"It seems someone is secretly making trouble for us," Huo Yanshen said in a deep voice, "We must take action as soon as possible."

Half an hour later, the core management of Huo's Group gathered in the conference room. Everyone's face was filled with worry.

"Everyone," Su Wanwan looked around at everyone and said straight to the point, "We are facing an unprecedented crisis. Not only have major customers asked to terminate cooperation, but I just received news that the bank is also re-evaluating our credit status."

Financial director Li Qiang added: “Yes, if banks tighten credit, our funding chain may have problems.”

There was a sudden murmur of discussion in the conference room.

"We must take action immediately," Huo Yanshen said in a firm voice. "First, we need a crisis public relations team to deal with external doubts and accusations."

Li Ling, Vice President of Marketing, took over the conversation: "I have contacted several top PR companies and they can start working right away."

“Very good,” Su Wanwan nodded, “Secondly, we need to stabilize our financial situation. Director Li, do you have any suggestions?”

Li Qiang thought for a moment and said, "We can consider selling some non-core assets and speeding up the recovery of accounts receivable. In addition, I suggest temporarily freezing some non-essential expenses."

Just as everyone was discussing countermeasures, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. It was an encrypted text message:

"If you want to know who is secretly framing you, see you at the abandoned factory in the old city at 8 o'clock tonight. Bring a USB drive."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances, both realizing that this might be a trap, but it might also be their only chance.

After the meeting, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen returned to the office and began to prepare for the secret meeting in the evening.

"Are you sure you want to go?" Huo Yanshen asked, his eyes full of worry, "This is probably a trap."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath: "I know the risk is great, but this may be our only chance to find out the truth. We have to go."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Okay, but we have to be fully prepared. I will arrange a few trustworthy bodyguards to protect us in secret."

Just as the two were discussing the details, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Special Commissioner Chen walked in quickly with a serious expression.

"Boss Su, Boss Huo," he whispered, "I just got the news that someone is planning a kidnapping against you."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen both looked at him in surprise.

Special Agent Chen continued, “We suspect this may be related to Black Claw. They may be trying to force you to hand over the USB drive by kidnapping.”

Huo Yanshen frowned and said: "Then our action tonight..."

"It must be cancelled," said Special Commissioner Chen firmly. "It's too dangerous."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, we have to go. This may be our only chance. Special Envoy Chen, we need your help."

After some heated discussion, the three of them finally worked out a careful plan.

At 7:50 that evening, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen drove to the abandoned factory in the old city. It was quiet all around, with only the sound of dogs barking in the distance breaking the tranquility.

"Are you ready?" Huo Yanshen asked softly.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded: "No matter what happens, we have to face it together."

The two walked into the factory cautiously, looking around vigilantly. Suddenly, a shadow walked out of the darkness.

"Boss Su, Boss Huo," a deep voice sounded, "You are here."

Su Wanwan recognized the voice; it was Zhang Ming who had been arrested before.

"Zhang Ming?" Huo Yanshen asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Ming smiled bitterly: "I was used. Now I want to tell you the truth."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from the other end of the factory. Then, a dozen masked men rushed out from the darkness and surrounded Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen.

“Don’t move!” the masked man in the lead shouted, “Hand over the USB drive!”

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that this game had entered the most dangerous stage.

Just when the situation was critical, the factory gate was suddenly knocked open, and Special Commissioner Chen led a team of special police to rush in.

“Freeze! Police!”

The masked men panicked, some tried to escape, some started to resist. The scene was in chaos.

Su Wanwan took advantage of the chaos to pull Huo Yanshen aside, but a masked man noticed them and aimed his gun at them.

"Be careful!" Zhang Ming suddenly rushed forward and stood in front of Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen.

There was a gunshot and Zhang Ming fell to the ground.

"Zhang Ming!" Su Wanwan exclaimed and ran over to check his injuries.

Zhang Ming was lying on the ground, blood gushing out of his chest. He spoke with difficulty: "Boss Su...Boss Huo...I'm sorry...I was deceived...The real mastermind behind this...is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ming lost consciousness.

After a fierce exchange of fire, the SWAT police finally took control of the situation and captured all the masked men.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Huo, are you all right?" Special Envoy Chen ran over and asked with concern.

Su Wanwan shook her head: "We are fine. But Zhang Ming...he saved us..."

Special Agent Chen sighed, "We will do our best to rescue him. Now, you guys should leave here with me. It's not safe here."

Back at the Huo Group building, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were both silent. What happened tonight had a huge impact on them.

"Are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked softly, holding his wife's hand.

Su Wanwan forced a smile: "I'm fine. It's just... Zhang Ming's words gave me a bad feeling. Who is the real mastermind behind this?"

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

"The game is not over yet. The truth is scarier than you can imagine. If you want to know the whole truth, go to the top floor of the Financial Center Building at 12 noon tomorrow. Remember, don't trust anyone."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw determination and worry in each other's eyes.
