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

The morning sun shone into the bedroom through the gap in the curtains. Su Wanwan opened her eyes, and the thrilling scene of last night was still lingering in her mind. She turned her head to look at Huo Yanshen who was sleeping beside her, and a warm current surged in her heart. No matter how big the crisis was, at least they still had each other.

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. It was an emergency call from the company.

"Boss Su, something terrible has happened!" The anxious voice of Li Ling, Vice President of Marketing, came from the other end of the line. "Our latest product planning plan has been leaked! Our confidential information is all over the Internet now!"

Su Wanwan sat up suddenly, her mind cleared instantly: "What? How could this happen?"

"What's worse," Li Ling continued, "someone posted something online, accusing you of leaking confidential information and saying that you are a traitor in the company!"

Su Wanwan gasped. This accusation was ridiculous. But she quickly calmed down: "I understand. You stabilize the situation first, I'll be at the company right away."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan gently woke Huo Yanshen up and briefly explained the situation.

"This must be a conspiracy of 'Black Claw'," Huo Yanshen frowned, "They want to use this to damage your reputation and shake the trust of the company in you."

Su Wanwan nodded: "In any case, we must clarify this misunderstanding as soon as possible. Let's go, the company must be in a mess now."

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen hurried to the company. As expected, the whole building was in a panic, with whispers and puzzled looks everywhere.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Huo," Financial Director Li Qiang came over in a hurry, "The board of directors is waiting for you in the conference room. The situation is not good."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and walked into the meeting room with her back straight. As soon as she entered the room, she felt the pressure coming at her. The directors had different expressions, some angry, some confused, and some disappointed.

"Su Wanwan," Senior Director Wang Lao spoke, with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice, "How do you want to explain this leak?"

Su Wanwan looked around and said calmly, "Dear directors, I can tell you clearly that I have never leaked any company secrets. This is obviously a deliberate frame-up."

“Then can you explain why your electronic signature was included in the leaked documents?” another director asked.

Huo Yanshen stood up and said firmly, "Everyone, I believe Wanwan is innocent. We should focus on finding the real leaker instead of suspecting each other here."

Just as the atmosphere was tense, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Lin Jie, the head of the IT department, hurried in.

"Everyone, I have an important discovery," Lin Jie said. "After careful investigation, we found that the company's server was attacked by a highly sophisticated hacker last night. Those leaked files were most likely stolen in this attack."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

Su Wanwan seized the opportunity: "Did you see that? This is obviously a premeditated attack. We should unite now and deal with this crisis together, instead of fighting among ourselves."

After intense discussions, the board of directors finally decided to set up a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the leak. At the same time, the company will issue a public statement to clarify the false accusations against Su Wanwan.

After the meeting, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she knew the crisis was far from over.

"Yan Shen," she turned to her husband, "I always feel that this leak is too coincidental. Could it be related to the mysterious date at noon today?"

Huo Yanshen thought for a moment, "You're right. This is most likely a conspiracy by the Black Claw to shake our confidence. We must be more careful."

Just then, Su Wanwan's phone rang again. It was her best friend and investigative reporter Zhang Jiaying.

“Wanwan, are you okay?” Zhang Jiaying’s voice was filled with worry. “I saw the accusations about you online.”

Su Wanwan smiled bitterly: "I'm fine. Jiaying, I need your help. Can you help me investigate the source of this leak? I suspect there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."

“No problem,” Zhang Jiaying agreed immediately, “I’ll do my best. By the way, is the USB drive still safe?”

"It's safe for now," Su Wanwan whispered, "but there may be changes at noon today. We have received an invitation for a mysterious date."

Zhang Jiaying gasped: "Oh my god, it's too dangerous! Do you really want to go?"

"We have no choice," Su Wanwan said firmly, "This may be the only chance to reveal the truth."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen began to prepare for the meeting at noon. They didn't know whether it would be the truth or a trap waiting for them, but they knew that they had to face it.

At 11:50 noon, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen arrived at the Financial Center Building. In the elevator, the two looked at each other silently, and saw determination and worry in each other's eyes.

On the rooftop, a man in a black suit stood with his back to them. Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen both gasped. Standing in front of them was the founder of the Huo Group, Huo Yanshen's father - Mr. Huo!

"Father?" Huo Yanshen said in disbelief, "How could it be you?"

Mr. Huo smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, kids. It's time to tell you something."

At this moment, the door to the rooftop was pushed open again. Special Commissioner Chen rushed up with a team of police officers.

"Don't move!" Special Commissioner Chen shouted, "Mr. Huo, you are suspected of participating in the criminal activities of the 'Black Claw' organization. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation."

Mr. Huo did not resist, but just looked at Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen deeply and said, "Kids, remember, the truth is often more complicated than we think. Be careful with that USB drive, the secrets in it are more terrible than you think."

In the chaos, Mr. Huo was taken away by the police. Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen stood there, at a loss for a moment.

"What on earth is going on?" Su Wanwan muttered to herself, "How could the old man be related to the 'Black Claw'?"

Huo Yanshen clenched his fists, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes: "I don't believe my father is a bad person. There must be something hidden that we don't know."

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

"Wanwan, I have made a major discovery!" Zhang Jiaying's voice was full of excitement. "I have traced the source of the hacker attack that leaked the company's secrets. You will never guess who did it!"

"Who is it?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

"Yes..." Zhang Jiaying's voice was suddenly interrupted, followed by a burst of noise and screams.

"Jiaying? Jiaying!" Su Wanwan shouted anxiously, but there was no response from the other end of the phone.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and realized that the situation was more complicated than they had imagined. Not only might there be a traitor inside the company, but even the closest people might be involved.

"We must rush to Jiaying immediately," Huo Yanshen said decisively, "She may have the key evidence."

Just as the two were about to leave, Su Wanwan's phone received another encrypted text message:

“The game is not over yet. The truth is right in front of you, but you can’t see it. If you want to save your friend, hand over the USB drive. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”

Su Wanwan bit her lip, her heart torn. She knew that every step she took next could be fatal. But in order to reveal the truth and protect the people around her, she had no choice.

"Let's go," she said firmly. "Whatever lies ahead, we will face it together."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand tightly, and the two walked quickly towards the elevator. They didn't know what kind of danger was waiting for them, but they knew that as long as they worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

The elevator door slowly closed, sending the two to an unknown fate. In a corner of the financial center building, a mysterious figure was watching all this through a surveillance camera, with a meaningful smile on his face: "Interesting, really interesting."
