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 found that Huo Yanshen had already gotten up. She tiptoed to the living room and saw her husband standing in front of the French window, looking at the Huo Group building in the distance with a serious expression.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan called softly, "You got up really early."

Huo Yanshen turned around and forced a smile: "Wanwan, you're awake. Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Wanwan walked to her husband and held his hand: "I slept well. But you, it looks like you didn't sleep all night?"

Huo Yanshen sighed: "Well, I've been thinking about the mysterious phone call yesterday. I always feel that something important will happen today."

Su Wanwan leaned on her husband's shoulder and said softly: "No matter what happens, we will face it together."

After a simple breakfast, the two drove to the agreed location. The abandoned factory in the old town looked particularly desolate, and the surrounding silence was a little scary.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan looked around cautiously, "Is this place really okay?"

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, I have arranged people to protect us in the dark. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Just then, a figure wearing a baseball cap and a mask walked out from the darkness.

"Boss Huo, Boss Su," the man's hoarse voice came, "You are here."

Huo Yanshen stood in front of Su Wanwan and said, "Who are you? Why did you ask us to come here?"

The man slowly took off his hat and mask, revealing an old and familiar face.

"Lao Zhang?" Huo Yanshen exclaimed, "Why is it you?"

It turned out that this mysterious man was Uncle Zhang, a veteran employee of the Huo Group, who had worked in the company for more than 30 years and had just retired recently.

Uncle Zhang smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry, this is the only way to ensure that no one will find out. I have something important to tell you."

The three of them found a secluded corner and sat down. Uncle Zhang took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Huo Yanshen.

"There is some key evidence in here," Uncle Zhang said in a low voice, "Evidence that the second president has been secretly colluding with competitors over the years to damage the interests of the company."

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

"Uncle Zhang, how did you get this information?" Su Wanwan asked cautiously.

Uncle Zhang sighed, "I have worked in the Finance Department for many years and have been responsible for organizing some confidential documents. Over the years, I have vaguely discovered some anomalies, but there has been no conclusive evidence. It was not until recently before I retired that I had the opportunity to carefully sort out these materials and finally discovered the strangeness."

Huo Yanshen tightly grasped the USB drive: "Uncle Zhang, thank you for taking such a big risk to tell us. This information is too important for us."

Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said, "Boss Huo, I have worked in the company for most of my life and watched you grow up. I cannot watch the company fall into the hands of someone with bad intentions."

Just as the three were talking, they suddenly heard the roar of a car engine in the distance.

"Not good!" Uncle Zhang's face changed drastically, "Maybe the Second President's people found out. You guys should leave quickly!"

Huo Yanshen took Su Wanwan's hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, what about you?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Don't worry about me, I'm old and can't run. You guys go quickly and make sure to make the truth known to the public!"

At Uncle Zhang's insistence, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan had to leave quickly. Just as they hid in a hidden corner, several black cars came roaring in.

Several burly men got out of the car and began to search the factory. Su Wanwan tightly grasped Huo Yanshen's hand, her heart beating faster.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan lowered her voice, "Will Uncle Zhang be in danger?"

Huo Yanshen frowned and said, "I hope he can get out safely. The most important thing for us now is to protect this USB drive."

The two held their breath and watched the group of people search the factory, but finally returned empty-handed. After they were sure that those people had completely left, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in the car, both of them were silent. It was not until they drove onto the main road that Su Wanwan spoke up: "Yan Shen, what should we do next?"

Huo Yanshen gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a low voice: "We must check the contents of the USB drive as soon as possible and then make the next plan. But before that, we have to find a safe place."

The two decided not to go home for the time being, but went to a secluded hotel. In the room, Huo Yanshen carefully opened the USB drive and began to check the contents.

As the documents were opened one by one, Huo Yanshen's face became uglier and uglier. Su Wanwan sat aside, watching her husband's expression nervously.

"Yan Shen, what's inside?" Su Wanwan finally couldn't help but ask.

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "Wanwan, the situation is worse than we thought. Second Uncle has not only colluded with competitors in secret over the years, but also misappropriated a large amount of company funds. If this information is made public, not only will he be imprisoned, but the entire Huo Group will also suffer a heavy blow."

Su Wanwan gasped: "Oh my God, what should we do?"

Huo Yan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Wanwan, I have a plan, but it may be risky."

Su Wanwan said firmly: "No matter what the plan is, I will support you."

Huo Yanshen told Su Wanwan his idea. He planned to secretly collect more evidence and gradually weaken his second uncle's influence in the company. But in order not to alert the enemy, they had to act as if everything was normal.

"The most important thing is," Huo Yanshen said seriously, "we must protect ourselves. If Second Uncle finds out that we know the truth, he might do anything to stop us."

Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Yan Shen, maybe... maybe I should leave the Huo family temporarily."

Huo Yanshen was stunned: "What?"

Su Wanwan explained: "Think about it, if I take the initiative to resign and leave the Huo family, it will not only relieve your pressure, but also make Second Uncle relax his vigilance. This way you can act more conveniently."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Wanwan, you are right. But... I can't bear to see you go."

Su Wanwan hugged her husband tightly: "Yan Shen, this is only temporary. Once you find out the truth and punish the bad guys, we can be together openly."

The two hugged and cried, knowing what this decision meant. But for the future of the Huo Group and for their love, this sacrifice was necessary.

The next morning, Su Wanwan drafted a letter of resignation. She decided to announce the decision in public at a family gathering to show her sincerity.

At Mr. Huo's birthday party, when Su Wanwan stood up and announced that she had decided to leave the Huo family, the whole audience was shocked.

"Everyone," Su Wanwan tried to hold back tears, but her voice was very firm, "I deeply feel that I have caused a lot of trouble to the Huo family. In order to no longer affect the development of the company, I have decided to take the initiative to resign and leave the Huo Group."

Mr. Huo and his second uncle looked at each other and saw surprise and suspicion in each other's eyes.

Huo Yanshen stood up and pretended to try to keep her: "Wanwan, you don't have to do this. We can face the difficulties together."

Su Wanwan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yan Shen, thank you for your support all the time. But for the future of the Huo family, I have to do this."

After saying this, she turned and left the banquet hall, leaving a room full of stunned guests.

After returning home, Su Wanwan started packing her luggage. Although this was just a ruse, she still felt very reluctant to leave when she really had to.

Just as she was packing her things, Huo Yanshen came back. Without saying a word, he hugged his wife tightly in his arms.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen said with a sob, "Are you really going to leave?"

Su Wanwan leaned in her husband's arms, tears finally bursting out: "Yan Shen, I don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave. But for our future, I have to do this."

Huo Yanshen stroked his wife's hair gently: "I know, I understand. Wanwan, promise me that you will take care of yourself. I will come to pick you up when I find out the truth."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Well, I will wait for you. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."

The two hugged each other and cried, knowing that this separation might be long, but their hearts would always be together.

Late at night, Su Wanwan snuggled in Huo Yanshen's arms and whispered, "Yan Shen, promise me that you will be careful. If you encounter any danger, you must tell me immediately."

Huo Yan kissed his wife's forehead deeply: "I promise you. Wanwan, you also have to promise me that you must take good care of yourself."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes full of reluctance and love. They knew that this separation was for a better reunion. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, as long as they were in harmony with each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Tomorrow, Su Wanwan will leave. But tonight, they must cherish this last time together. In this sleepless night, the two hugged each other tightly, as if to remember each other's body temperature forever in their hearts.
