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

As the night deepened, only sporadic footsteps could be heard in the hospital corridor. Su Wanwan lay on the hospital bed, staring at the moonlight outside the window in a daze.

The scenes from the day flashed back in my mind. Is Lu Wei dead or alive? How much of what she said is true?

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Huo Yanshen walked in with hot milk.

Su Wanwan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly. How many things was this man who claimed to be a doctor hiding from her?

"Is your head still hurting?" Huo Yanshen tried to break the silence.

"Mr. Huo, you don't have to worry so much." Su Wanwan said suddenly.

Huo Yanshen's hands trembled and the milk almost spilled: "You..."

"Lu Wei told me everything." Su Wanwan turned her head and looked out the window, "We are husband and wife, right?"

The room suddenly became eerily quiet. After a long while, Huo Yanshen whispered, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you. The doctor said that your memory cannot be stimulated..."

“So what happened to my father is also true?”

Huo Yanshen was silent. This question was too heavy and he didn't know how to answer it.

Just then, a slight sound of footsteps came from the corridor. They both looked towards the door at the same time.

The door opened and Lu Wei walked in gracefully. She changed into a black dress, which looked particularly pale in the moonlight.

"I knew you would come." She said to the air, "Huo Yanshen, Huo Yanshen, you always act on your own."

Huo Yanshen tensed up: "Who are you?"

"I am Lu Wei." She tilted her head and smiled, "Why, is it strange to come back to life? Just like Mr. Su's 'suicide' five years ago."

She deliberately emphasized the word "suicide".

“What do you want to say?”

"I just want to tell Wanwan the truth." Lu Wei sat down beside the bed, "For example, why her father died, the secret of the Magnolia Society, and..." She looked at Huo Yanshen meaningfully, "The role you played in it."

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Huo Yanshen said sternly.

"Nonsense?" Lu Wei chuckled. "Then tell her, who leaked the inside information of the Su Group and caused the stock price to plummet? And who went to Mr. Su's office before he committed suicide?"

Every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Su Wanwan's heart. She looked at Huo Yanshen, hoping that he would deny it. However, he just kept silent.

"Look, he doesn't deny it." Lu Wei said proudly, "Because this is the truth. Huo Yanshen approached you with ulterior motives from the beginning."

"Enough!" Huo Yanshen shouted angrily.

"I haven't finished yet." Lu Wei continued, "Do you know what the Genesis Project is? It is a genius idea. Using live experiments to create immortality and allow humans to evolve to a higher level. And your father is the first volunteer."

"What?" Su Wanwan widened her eyes.

"Unfortunately, he got scared and wanted to quit." Lu Wei shook her head, "So... you know what happened next."

"Impossible..." Su Wanwan murmured to herself, "Dad..."

Suddenly, a severe headache hit me. Fragmented images flashed in my mind: the back of my father hastily destroying documents, the quarrel in the office, and the mysterious man wearing magnolia cufflinks...

"Stop talking!" Huo Yanshen interrupted, "Do you want to kill her?"

"I harmed her?" Lu Wei sneered, "It's obviously you who has been deceiving her. If it weren't for you, her father wouldn't..."

"Bang!" With a loud noise, the window of the ward suddenly shattered!

A bullet grazed Lu Wei's cheek and left a bullet hole in the wall.

"Get down!" Huo Yanshen pounced on Su Wanwan and protected her under his body.

Two more gunshots! The bullets hit the bedside, sparks flying everywhere. But Lu Wei stood there, smiling strangely.

"It seems like someone doesn't want me to tell the truth." She took two steps back, "Wanwan, if you want to know more, I'll wait for you at the agreed place at 8 o'clock tonight."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door. The moonlight shone through the broken window onto her back, and her shadow was very long, but strangely... it had no substance!

"Stop!" The SWAT team rushed in, but found nothing. Lu Wei had disappeared without a trace.

“Seal off the hospital!” Zhang Lin yelled. “Don’t let her escape!”

However, the search yielded nothing. The surveillance video showed that Lu Wei had not entered the hospital at all. Then who was in the ward just now?

"Take her to another hospital!" Huo Yanshen made a prompt decision, "It's not safe here anymore."

However, Su Wanwan grabbed his hand and said, "Tell me, is what she said true?"

Huo Yanshen looked at her pale face, his heart aching: "Wanwan..."

"I need to know the truth." Su Wanwan's voice was soft, but with unquestionable firmness, "About my father's death, about the Magnolia Club, about... you."

At this moment, her phone vibrated. It was a text message from an unfamiliar number:

"Want to know the truth? See you at the usual place at 8 o'clock. Remember, you can only come alone. Otherwise, you will never know how your father died."

The signature is a magnolia flower seal.

The moonlight outside the window was getting colder. In a corner of the hospital, in a blind spot of surveillance, the real Lu Wei was making a phone call.

"Everything went according to plan," she said. "The hypnotic suggestion was successful. She has begun to doubt Huo Yanshen."

"Very good." A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "It's time to let this loving couple... experience the taste of betrayal."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Wei glanced at the magnolia tattoo on her wrist and sneered.

The game has just begun...
