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

Su Wanwan stood on the rooftop of the Huo Group building, the night breeze blowing her hair. The text message on the phone screen made her uneasy: "Don't be confused by appearances. The truth is more complicated than you think. Tonight at 10 o'clock, still the same place."

She looked at the time. There were still two hours left. These two hours were enough for her to make a decision that could change everything.

Taking a deep breath, Su Wanwan decided to go back to the office and continue to investigate the relevant information of the "Phoenix" project. She knew that she needed to get more information before meeting the mysterious man.

Back in the office, Su Wanwan carefully inserted the mysterious USB drive. As she opened each file, her brows furrowed more and more. These files not only involved the "Phoenix" project, but also involved some secret transactions of the Huo family over the years.

At this moment, an encrypted folder caught her attention. The folder was named "Dark Phoenix" and required a password to open.

Su Wanwan tried several possible passwords, but none of them worked. Just when she was about to give up, she remembered a date that Huo Yanshen had mentioned accidentally - the day his father died.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Su Wanwan entered the date. To her surprise, the folder opened.

The contents inside made Su Wanwan gasp. These documents recorded in detail the transactions between the Huo family and a mysterious organization called "Black Phoenix" over the years. And these transactions clearly exceeded the scope of normal business.

One of the documents particularly caught Su Wanwan's attention. The document showed that Huo Yanshen's father, the late former president of the Huo Group, seemed to be investigating the "Black Phoenix" organization before his death. And his death was likely related to this investigation.

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened as she realized that she might have touched upon a shocking secret.

Just as she was about to delve deeper into the research, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Come in." Su Wanwan quickly closed all the documents and pretended to be calm.

The door opened and Huo Yanshen walked in. "Wanwan, are you still working overtime so late?"

Su Wanwan forced a smile and said, "Yes, there are too many things going on in the company recently, and I want to make more preparations."

Huo Yanshen walked closer and looked at her with concern. "Don't be too tired. You need to rest well in your current physical condition."

Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart, but then she thought of the secret she had just discovered and couldn't help but feel complicated. Should she tell Huo Yanshen the truth?

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "If... I mean if, I found out something about your father, would you want to know?"

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became serious, "What did you find?"

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and decided to test the waters first. "When I was investigating the Phoenix project, I found some information that might be related to your father. But I'm not sure about the authenticity of this information."

Huo Yanshen's eyes became complicated. "My father's death has always been a mystery. If you really find out something, please tell me."

Just as Su Wanwan was hesitating whether to tell him everything, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a new text message: "Time has changed, come now. Watch your step."

Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had to make a decision right away.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan stood up, "I need to go out for a while. There are some things I must confirm in person."

Huo Yanshen frowned, "Where are you going so late? I'll go with you."

Su Wanwan shook her head, "No, I'll be back soon. Trust me, okay?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay, but be careful. If there are any problems, call me immediately."

Su Wanwan nodded and quickly left the office.

Arriving at the old pier, Su Wanwan looked around vigilantly. This time, the mysterious man came earlier than last time.

"You're here." A familiar voice sounded in the darkness.

"Yes, I'm here." Su Wanwan tried to remain calm, "Now, tell me the whole truth."

The mysterious man was silent for a while, then said: "'Black Phoenix' is not just a money laundering organization, it involves the power structure of the entire business community. The Huo family is just a pawn in it."

Su Wanwan took a breath and said, "Then Huo Yanshen's father..."

"He discovered the truth, so he was silenced." The mysterious man's voice was low and heavy, "And now, Huo Yanshen is repeating his father's mistakes."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy. "You mean, Huo Yanshen is also investigating this matter?"

"That's right." The mysterious man said, "Moreover, he has attracted the attention of the 'Dark Phoenix'. If he is not stopped, he is likely to follow in his father's footsteps."

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened. "Then what should I do?"

"Continue to investigate, but be careful." The mysterious man said, "Remember, in this game, no one is completely trustworthy. Including Huo Yanshen."

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the distance.

"Someone is coming!" the mysterious man said vigilantly, "We have to go separately. Remember, no matter what happens, you must protect yourself and the baby in your belly."

After saying this, the mysterious man quickly disappeared into the night.

Su Wanwan quickly hid behind a container nearby. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and her heart was beating faster and faster.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came: "Wanwan? Are you here?"

It was Huo Yanshen's voice.

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she felt a little nervous. How should she explain to Huo Yanshen why she came to such a dangerous place late at night?

"Yan Shen, I'm here." Su Wanwan came out from her hiding place.

Huo Yanshen walked over quickly, his face full of worry and a hint of anger, "Do you know how dangerous this place is? Why did you come to a place like this alone?"

Su Wanwan bit her lip and decided to tell the truth, "I'm investigating something. About your father..."

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became serious, "What did you find?"

Just as Su Wanwan was about to speak, a gunshot suddenly was heard in the distance.

"Be careful!" Huo Yanshen threw Su Wanwan to the ground.

The bullet flew over their heads and hit the container next to them.

"We have to leave here." Huo Yanshen whispered, holding Su Wanwan's hand tightly.

The two of them quickly stood up and ran in the darkness. Behind them, the footsteps of the pursuers were getting closer and closer.

Su Wanwan's heart was beating like a drum. She knew that she had fallen into a vortex that was more dangerous than she had imagined. This vortex not only threatened her life, but also might completely change her relationship with Huo Yanshen.

In the night, the two gradually disappeared in the maze-like container group. But out of their sight, a pair of cold eyes were watching everything.

"Interesting." The man said softly, "It seems that the game has just begun."
