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

In the morning mist, taxis shuttled through the empty streets. Su Wanwan looked at her phone. It was 5:50. Ten minutes left.

"Ms. Su, the mountaintop villa area is ahead." the driver reminded.

"Thank you. We'll stop here."

After paying the fare, Su Wanwan stood at the foot of the mountain. The winding mountain road disappeared in the thick fog, and the villa area was looming. She took a deep breath and was about to take a step when her phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Huo Yanshen: "The files have been retrieved, and there are major doubts about Mr. Wang's background."

Su Wanwan clicked on the attachment. It was Mr. Wang's complete resume: born in 1957, graduated from Tsinghua University's Department of Finance in 1982, joined Credit Suisse in 1985... Everything seemed normal, but Huo Yanshen marked a few suspicious points with a red pen.

First, during the ten years that Wang worked in Switzerland, he had almost no social records. He never appeared in the bank's year-end group photo, and even his salary was paid through an offshore account.

Secondly, he resigned suddenly in 1999 without any warning, which was when the Genesis Project was launched.

The most important thing is that his files were suddenly interrupted after 2002. When he reappeared, he was already an old man who had retired five years ago. In these five years, he seemed to have disappeared from the world.

"He is not an ordinary bank clerk." Huo Yanshen wrote in the note, "He is likely an undercover agent of a special department."

As I was reading this, another piece of news came: "I found an amazing coincidence. In 2002, your father was suddenly transferred to Switzerland and took over Mr. Wang's position. And in the same year, the transfer of funds of the Magnolia Club came to an abrupt halt."

Su Wanwan was shocked. The clues gradually became clear: Mr. Wang was an undercover agent who discovered the conspiracy of the Magnolia Society. And his father took over his position, most likely to continue the investigation!

"There is an even more important discovery." Huo Yanshen continued to send messages, "We have found out the true identity of Mr. Wang. He is..."

The message stopped abruptly. Then there was a system prompt: "The user has stopped the service."

Just as I was about to call back, a strange text message flashed: "Don't try to contact anyone. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Su Wanwan held the phone tightly and continued to walk up the mountain. In the thick fog, a Gothic villa was looming. A black car was parked at the door, which was the one that escaped from the hospital.

The door was open. The living room was dark except for the flickering fire in the fireplace. Zhang Jiaying was tied to the sofa, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and his eyes were full of fear.

"Let her go." Su Wanwan said coldly, "I'm here."

A chuckle came from the darkness: "Ms. Su is indeed trustworthy. However, before letting her go, we need to talk first."

The lights came on. A man wearing magnolia cufflinks sat in front of the fireplace, playing with Mr. Wang's USB flash drive.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the head of the security department of the Magnolia Club, codenamed 'Night Watchman.'" The man stood up gracefully. "To be honest, I admire your courage. However, for some things, knowing too much is actually a burden."

“What on earth do you want to do?”

"Create a more perfect human being." The Night Watchman's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, "Imagine if we can eliminate the weaknesses in human nature - greed, cowardice, selfishness... How wonderful the world will become."

"Using living subjects for experiments? Using innocent orphans?" Su Wanwan said sternly, "This is simply insane!"

"For a greater goal, someone has to sacrifice." The night watchman shrugged, "Your father was so stubborn back then. Unfortunately, he chose to remain silent in the end."

"What do you mean?"

"After he discovered the truth, he wanted to expose us. But when he knew that his wife was also involved in the experiment..."

"Impossible!" Su Wanwan cried out, "How could my mother..."

Before he finished speaking, the night watchman turned on the computer and played a video. In the video, a woman in a white coat was recording experimental data. Although she was facing away from the camera, the familiar figure was the mother!

"So, hand over the list obediently." The night watchman's voice was threatening, "Otherwise, not only your bestie, but also your mother... Oh, she is doing well in the nursing home now, right?"

Su Wanwan clenched her fists: "What list?"

"Don't pretend. Mr. Wang must have told you before he died. He hid the complete list of experimental subjects in..."

"Ding Dong." A crisp cell phone ring interrupted the conversation.

The night watchman's face changed and he quickly walked to the window. In the distance, on the mountain road, several police cars were approaching.

"How dare you play tricks!" He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Zhang Jiaying.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

"Zhang Jiaying" who was tied to the sofa suddenly broke free from the ropes and rolled over to avoid the bullet. In the firelight, Su Wanwan was surprised to find that it was not Zhang Jiaying at all, but a well-trained female agent!

At the same time, dozens of laser aiming points suddenly lit up from all directions, all aimed at the night watchmen.

"Put down your weapons!" Liu Feng's voice came through the loudspeaker, "The whole villa is surrounded!"

The night watchman smiled coldly: "Do you think I am unprepared?"

He pressed the remote control in his hand. The whole villa suddenly shook violently and filled with smoke. When the smoke cleared, the night watchman had disappeared without a trace. Only a whirring safe and a pile of burning documents were left.

"Don't touch it!" the female agent shouted, "There is a bomb in the safe!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a "beep" sound and the safe opened automatically. There was nothing inside except a note:

"The game has just begun. If you want to save your mother, check the basement of the nursing home. Remember, you only have one chance before the sun rises."

At this moment, a thick smoke suddenly rose from the direction of the sanatorium in the distance...
