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

Chapter 146: Crisis is brewing, let’s work together to deal with it

On the last day of their vacation, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan decided to enjoy a romantic dinner at the resort's high-end restaurant to put a perfect end to this wonderful journey.

In the restaurant, candlelight flickered and melodious piano music flowed in the air. Huo Yanshen pulled out a chair for Su Wanwan and said gentlemanly, "My lady, please take a seat."

Su Wanwan smiled and sat down gracefully. She had specially put on a red evening dress tonight, which made her skin look as bright and beautiful as snow.

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife's beautiful face and couldn't help being lost in thought. "Wanwan, you look so beautiful tonight." He exclaimed sincerely.

Su Wanwan blushed: "You are also very handsome." She joked, "But, you are not trying to make up for your lazy life these days with sweet words, right?"

Huo Yanshen pretended to be hurt and said, "How could that be? I have been working hard." Then, he took out a small exquisite box from his suit pocket, "This is the 'result' of my work these days, for you."

Su Wanwan opened the box curiously, and inside was an exquisite diamond necklace, sparkling brightly in the candlelight.

"Yan Shen, this...this is too precious." Su Wanwan said with emotion.

Huo Yanshen said gently: "No matter how expensive the gift is, it is not even one ten-thousandth of yours. Come, I'll help you put it on."

Just as Huo Yanshen stood up and prepared to put the necklace on Su Wanwan, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open and a burly man strode in.

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became solemn. He recognized this person - it was the bodyguard leader of the competitor Wang Group who had caused trouble in the company some time ago.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen whispered, "We may be in trouble."

Su Wanwan followed her husband's gaze and recognized the man. She immediately understood and asked softly, "What should we do?"

Huo Yanshen said calmly: "Don't act rashly. Let's observe the situation."

The burly man glanced around the restaurant, and finally his eyes fell on Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan. He showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and walked towards them.

"Boss Huo, Boss Su," the man said gloomily, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Huo Yanshen stood up, stood in front of Su Wanwan, and said vigilantly: "Li Qiang, what are you doing here?"

Li Qiang sneered, "Vacation, just like you. But... my way of vacation may be different from yours." As he spoke, his hand slowly reached for his waist.

Huo Yanshen sensed the danger and immediately shouted, "Stop! This is a public place, what do you want to do?"

Li Qiang said disdainfully: "A public place? Ha, do you think this can protect you?"

At this moment, a scream suddenly rang out in the restaurant. It turned out that several masked men broke in with weapons in their hands.

"Dear guests, please don't panic," one of the masked men said loudly, "as long as you cooperate with us, no one will get hurt."

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

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen whispered, "I'll count to three, and then we'll run to the back door."

Su Wanwan nodded slightly and quietly grasped the knife on the table.

"one two three!"

Huo Yanshen suddenly overturned the dining table, blocking Li Qiang's view. Su Wanwan quickly threw the knife in her hand at the nearest masked man, hitting his wrist accurately, and the weapon fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Huo Yanshen dragged Su Wanwan and ran quickly towards the back door. Behind them came Li Qiang's angry curses and chaotic footsteps.

"Hurry! This way!" Huo Yanshen took Su Wanwan through the kitchen and rushed out of the back door of the restaurant.

There was a dense forest outside. The two of them took advantage of the cover of night and quickly shuttled between the trees.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan said breathlessly, "where should we run?"

Huo Yanshen looked around and pointed in a direction in the distance and said, "There seems to be a small wooden house over there. Let's hide there first."

The two quickened their pace and soon arrived at the remote cabin. The cabin looked abandoned for a long time, but at this moment it became their best shelter.

Huo Yanshen pushed the door open carefully, and only after confirming that there was no danger inside did he take Su Wanwan in.

"Wanwan, are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked with concern, carefully checking whether his wife was injured.

Su Wanwan shook her head: "I'm fine. Yan Shen, do you think they are coming for us?"

Huo Yanshen looked serious: "It's very likely. It seems that Wang's Group is still unwilling to accept its failure last time and wants revenge."

Su Wanwan frowned and said, "But how do they know we are here?"

Huo Yan thought deeply for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "Oh no, our schedule may have been leaked. There have been rumors of a ghost in the company recently, and it seems to be true."

Just then, there were chaotic footsteps and shouts coming from outside.

"They are chasing us," Su Wanwan said nervously.

Huo Yanshen looked around and thought quickly about his countermeasures. Suddenly, his eyes fell on an old wardrobe in the corner.

"Wanwan, hide inside quickly." Huo Yanshen whispered, "I'll lead them away."

Su Wanwan grabbed her husband's hand and said, "No, it's too dangerous. Let's find a solution together."

Huo Yan looked at his wife affectionately: "Wanwan, believe me. I will be fine. You hide first, and I will come back to find you after I get rid of them."

Su Wanwan bit her lip and finally nodded in agreement. But before hiding in the closet, she suddenly pulled Huo Yanshen over and gave him a deep kiss.

"Be careful," Su Wanwan said softly, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Huo Yanshen nodded, gently closed the closet door, then quietly opened the window of the wooden house and climbed out.

Su Wanwan hid in the closet, holding her breath, listening to the noise outside. Her heart was beating wildly, she was worried about Huo Yanshen's safety, and she was afraid that she would be discovered.

Suddenly, the door of the wooden house was kicked open. Heavy breathing and footsteps echoed in the house.

"Search! We must find them!" Li Qiang's voice rang out.

Su Wanwan covered her mouth tightly, afraid of making any sound. She could hear the searchers getting closer and closer to the closet.

Just as the closet door was about to be opened, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Over there! I saw Huo Yanshen!" someone shouted.

"Chase! Don't let him run away!" Li Qiang ordered.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and silence returned to the room.

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became concerned about Huo Yanshen's safety. She knew that her husband took the risk to lure those people away in order to protect her.

As time passed, Su Wanwan's heart became heavier and heavier. She hoped Huo Yanshen could come back safely, and she regretted not insisting on facing the danger with him.

Just when Su Wanwan was about to collapse, she heard a familiar voice.

“Wanwan, it’s me. You can come out now.”

Su Wanwan pushed open the closet door and saw Huo Yanshen standing there sweating profusely, and immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Yan Shen, I'm so glad that you're okay." Su Wanwan said with a sob.

Huo Yanshen hugged his wife tightly: "I'm sorry for making you worry. We are safe now. I have contacted the local police."

Su Wanwan looked up at her husband and asked, "How did you get rid of them?"

Huo Yanshen smiled and said, "Remember when we first came here, I specially studied the terrain here? The advantage of being familiar with the place just came in handy."

Su Wanwan finally felt relieved, but soon she thought of something else: "Yan Shen, the company..."

Huo Yanshen said solemnly: "We must go back as soon as possible. It seems that someone wants to do something while we are away. But don't worry, I have informed Assistant Lin and asked him to keep a close eye on the company's situation."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Shall we leave now?"

Huo Yanshen looked at his watch and said, "Wait a moment. The police will be here soon and we need to cooperate with them to make a statement. After that, I will arrange a helicopter to take us back to the city."

Not long after, the sound of police sirens came closer and closer. Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan walked out of the wooden house and saw several police cars parked not far away.

During the police questioning, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan supported each other and gave each other strength and support. Although this accident was thrilling, it also made them realize the importance of each other.

After finishing all the work, it was already dawn. Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's shoulders, and the two stood beside the helicopter, watching the morning sun rise from the mountains in the distance.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen said softly, "Thank you."

Su Wanwan was a little confused: "Thank me for what?"

Huo Yan looked at his wife affectionately: "Thank you for always being by my side and facing every challenge with me. With you by my side, I feel there is nothing we can't do."

Su Wanwan leaned on her husband's shoulder and said softly, "Yan Shen, we are husband and wife, and we are the best partners. No matter what we encounter, we will face it together and overcome it together."

Huo Yanshen nodded and kissed his wife on the forehead. "Let's go, it's time to go back. We have more challenges waiting for us to face."

Watching the helicopter slowly take off, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan held hands tightly.
