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

The news that Huo's Group successfully resolved the "Black Claw" crisis quickly spread throughout the business community, with major media outlets competing to report and receive endless praise. The story of Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan working together to overcome the difficulties has become a hot topic among people.

However, not everyone was happy about the Huo Group's victory. In a dark study room in the Huo family's old house, Lu Wei was staring at the TV screen, with sparks of jealousy and anger in her eyes.

"Hehe, Su Wanwan, do you think this will consolidate your position in the Huo family?" Lu Wei sneered, picked up the teacup elegantly and took a sip.

Just then, her assistant Zhao Yan knocked on the door and came in: "Ms. Lu, I have collected all the information you want."

Lu Wei took the folder and quickly flipped through it. The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed: "That's all? Isn't there anything more exciting?"

Zhao Yan lowered her head and said with some embarrassment: "Ms. Lu, Su Wanwan has been dealing with the company crisis recently and rarely appears in public. The information we can collect is limited."

Lu Wei impatiently threw the folder aside: "It's useless! These things are not enough to shake her position." She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the building of the Huo Group in the distance, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Since we can't find the real stuff, let's create it ourselves." Lu Wei turned around, a sly look flashed in her eyes, "Zhao Yan, go contact those paparazzi and tell them that I have big news to reveal."

Zhao Yan hesitated: "Ms. Lu, do you want to..."

Lu Wei sneered: "Of course I want to give Su Wanwan a 'surprise'. Since she likes to be in the limelight so much, let her be in the limelight completely."

At the same time, in the president's office of the Huo Group, Su Wanwan was discussing the company's future development plans with Huo Yanshen.

"Yan Shen, I think we should take advantage of the good reputation after this crisis is resolved to further expand into the international market." Su Wanwan said, pointing to the data analysis on the projection screen.

Huo Yanshen nodded in agreement: "You are right. This crisis has not only failed to weaken our strength, but has greatly increased our international reputation. We should make good use of this opportunity."

As the two were discussing deeply, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Huo calling.

"Father," Huo Yanshen answered the phone, "What's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Huo's voice sounded a little solemn: "Yan Shen, have you read entertainment news recently?"

Huo Yanshen was stunned: "Entertainment news? Father, you know I never pay attention to these. What's wrong?"

Mr. Huo sighed and said, "Go and see for yourself. Remember, no matter what you see, you must deal with it calmly."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen immediately opened the mobile browser. He saw the headlines of major entertainment websites were: "Huo Group's young mistress Su Wanwan has a late-night tryst with a mysterious man!"

Huo Yanshen's face instantly turned pale. He quickly clicked on the news and saw a blurry photo of a woman who looked like Su Wanwan standing with a tall man, looking very intimate.

"What's going on?" Huo Yanshen's voice trembled a little.

Su Wanwan noticed her husband's abnormality, walked over and took a look at the phone screen, and was immediately stunned: "How...how is this possible? I didn't..."

Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Wanwan, don't worry. When and where was this photo taken?"

Su Wanwan carefully read the news content: "According to reports, it happened three nights ago in a high-end club in the city center." She suddenly remembered something, "Wait, weren't we working overtime three nights ago? How could we be in the club?"

Huo Yanshen's expression relaxed a little: "Yes, I remember it very clearly. We were dealing with company affairs that night and didn't go home until the early morning."

At this moment, Special Assistant Chen rushed in: "Boss Huo, Boss Su, something bad has happened! There are already reporters outside blocking the entrance of the company, all demanding a response to this news."

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became serious: "Assistant Chen, contact the public relations department immediately and prepare to hold a press conference. At the same time, I want to know who the source of this news is."

Su Wanwan held Huo Yanshen's hand: "Yan Shen, do you believe me? I have never done anything to let you down."

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife deeply, then hugged her in his arms: "Silly girl, of course I believe you. We have been through so much together, how could I doubt you? The most important thing now is to find out who is behind this."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone rang again. This time it was Lu Wei calling.

"Yan Shen, are you okay? I just saw the news and was shocked." Lu Wei's voice was filled with obvious gloating, "I said Su Wanwan is not worthy of you, right? How could a man as outstanding as you..."

Huo Yanshen interrupted her coldly: "Lu Wei, if you called just to say this, then don't say it. I believe Wanwan, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter."

Lu Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yan Shen, you are too naive. These days, pictures speak louder than words. Besides, Su Wanwan is a country girl, and she is able to get on the Huo family's boat. Aren't you satisfied?"

Huo Yanshen's voice became colder and colder: "Lu Wei, I warn you, don't slander Wanwan in front of me. Also, I will find out what conspiracy is behind this matter. If I find someone behind this, I will never let it go easily."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Su Wanwan looked at her husband's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart: "Yan Shen, thank you for believing in me."

Huo Yanshen stroked his wife's cheek gently: "Silly girl, we are husband and wife, and also the best partners. We have been through so much together, how could I be shaken by a piece of unfounded news?"

At this moment, Special Assistant Chen rushed in again: "Mr. Huo, we found some clues. That photo was processed by Photoshop, and the technique is quite sophisticated."

Huo Yanshen's eyes lit up: "Great, this is our breakthrough point for counterattack. Special Assistant Chen, contact the best technical experts immediately. I want them to analyze the authenticity of this photo in the shortest possible time. At the same time, find out who published this news for me."

Su Wanwan thought thoughtfully: "Yan Shen, do you think... could it be Lu Wei who is behind this?"

Huo Yanshen nodded: "I have the same suspicion. The tone of her voice when she called just now was very strange, as if she was gloating over someone else's misfortune. However, we can't act rashly now. Let's collect evidence first, and then make plans after everything is clear."

At this moment, the head of the public relations department came in: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Su, preparations for the press conference are ready. Are you ready?"

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, you can be the main speaker at this press conference. I believe you are capable of handling this situation."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, I will definitely clarify this rumor and clear my name."

Arriving at the press conference, flashes of light flashed one after another, and reporters asked questions non-stop. Su Wanwan stood in front of the microphone and looked around calmly.

"Dear journalists and friends who care about the Huo Group," Su Wanwan said in a clear and firm voice, "First of all, I want to solemnly declare that the news circulating online recently is completely false information. The person in the photo is not me, but a highly Photoshopped composite photo."

There was an immediate buzz from the audience.

Su Wanwan continued: "We have hired a professional technical team to analyze the photos and will announce the results soon. At the same time, we have also reported the case to the police and demanded a thorough investigation of the mastermind behind this malicious rumor."

She paused, and looked around the room with a determined look: "I want to take this opportunity to tell you that the relationship between Huo Yanshen and I is indestructible. We worked together to overcome difficulties and led the Huo Group through the crisis of 'Black Claw'. Our relationship is not just that of husband and wife, but also that of the best partners. Any attempt to alienate us is doomed to be futile."

Huo Yanshen stood in the audience, looking at his confident wife, his heart filled with pride and love. He knew that no matter what difficulties they encountered, as long as they worked together, nothing could defeat them.

However, just as the press conference was about to end, a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "Su Wanwan, can you explain your relationship with Lin Zhiqiang, vice president of the Huo Group? We have reliable information that the two of you often meet in private!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and all eyes were focused on Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then calmly said: "Vice President Lin and I are just ordinary colleagues. As senior executives of the company, we do have work-related exchanges, but there is absolutely no improper relationship."

However, the reporter persisted: "Well, can you explain this photo?"

A new photo was projected onto the big screen. In the photo, Su Wanwan and Lin Zhiqiang seemed to be talking in a low voice in a cafe, and their expressions looked very intimate.

The scene fell into chaos again. Su Wanwan felt dizzy, she couldn't remember when she had such contact with Lin Zhiqiang.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen strode onto the stage, stood beside his wife, and said firmly: "Everyone, please calm down. The authenticity of this photo has yet to be verified. We will investigate this and give you an explanation as soon as possible. Now, the press conference ends here. Thank you everyone."

After saying that, he hugged the somewhat distraught Su Wanwan and quickly left the scene.

Back in the office, Su Wanwan finally broke down: "Yan Shen, I really don't know what's going on. Lin Zhiqiang and I really don't have any special relationship!"

Huo Yanshen hugged his wife in his arms: "I believe you, Wanwan. But the situation is very complicated now. We must calm down and think carefully about what conspiracy is behind this."

At this moment, Special Assistant Chen rushed in: "Mr. Huo, it's bad! The company's stock price has begun to fall sharply, and investors are calling for an emergency shareholders' meeting!"

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