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

Su Wanwan stood in front of the French window, holding the mysterious text message tightly in her hand. Night had fallen, the lights of the city were twinkling like stars, but her heart was churning like a stormy sea.

"If you want to know the truth, see you at the usual place at 8 o'clock tonight."

This message was like a double-edged sword, tempting her to find out the truth but also making her wary. Su Wanwan looked at the clock on the wall and it was already 7:30 in the evening.

Just as she was hesitating, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Yanshen.

"Wanwan, are you okay?" Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with fatigue and concern.

Su Wanwan replied calmly: "I'm fine, don't worry. How is the company doing?"

Huo Yanshen sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. Someone is secretly manipulating and trying to prevent us from acquiring that new energy company. I may have to stay up all night at the company."

Su Wanwan bit her lip and finally decided not to tell Huo Yanshen about the mysterious text message. "Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan's eyes fell on the text message again. Time passed by, and she knew she had to make a decision.

In the end, curiosity overcame reason. Su Wanwan quickly changed into low-key clothes, put on sunglasses and a hat, and quietly left the Huo family mansion.

The "old place" was a place that both she and the sender knew. It was a cafe that Su Wanwan often went to when she was in college. When she pushed open the door of the cafe, the clock pointed to 8 o'clock.

There were not many people in the cafe. Su Wanwan looked around and finally saw a familiar figure sitting in the corner. She took a deep breath and walked over.

"Long time no see, Wanwan." The person sitting there raised his head and gave a meaningful smile.

Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Wang He? Why is it you?"

Wang He is Su Wanwan's college classmate and also a rising star in the IT industry. He smiled and motioned for Su Wanwan to sit down: "Why, are you surprised?"

Su Wanwan sat down cautiously: "What do you mean by telling me the truth?"

Wang He's expression turned serious: "Wanwan, do you still remember the entrepreneurial project we did in college?"

Su Wanwan nodded: "Of course I remember, the new energy management system. Later it was shelved due to funding issues."

"That's right," Wang He said, "but you may not know that the project was later stolen by someone. And the person who stole it was the new energy company that Huo's Group is now going to acquire."

Su Wanwan looked at Wang He in shock: "Are you sure? This is a serious accusation."

Wang He smiled bitterly: "Of course I am sure. Because I have been following the development of this project. Wanwan, you married Huo Yanshen, and I didn't want to interfere in this matter. But after seeing the recent news, I think you should know the truth."

Su Wanwan's brain was working rapidly: "So, you mean that the Huo Group is acquiring a company suspected of intellectual property theft?"

Wang He nodded: "Not only that. I suspect there is a bigger conspiracy behind this company. They may deliberately lure the Huo Group into the trap, and then take the opportunity to attack the Huo Group."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy: "This... This is crazy. What should I do?"

Wang He reached out and held Su Wanwan's hand: "Wanwan, I know this is hard for you. But you must warn Huo Yanshen. If this acquisition goes ahead, the Huo Group may face a catastrophe. "

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Yanshen.

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone: "Hello, Yan Shen."

"Wanwan, where are you? I didn't see you when I got home." There was obvious worry in Huo Yanshen's voice.

Su Wanwan glanced at Wang He and said, "I...I'm just here to relax. I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath: "Wang He, thank you for telling me this. I need time to think about it."

Wang He nodded. “I understand. But remember, time is running out. If you need help, feel free to contact me.”

After leaving the cafe, Su Wanwan's mind was filled with confused thoughts. Who should she trust? Huo Yanshen? Or Wang He? If what Wang He said was true, then the Huo Group was indeed in great danger. But what if this was just a trap?

Just as she was hesitating, a black car suddenly stopped in front of her. The window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face.

"Do you need a ride, Mrs. Huo?" Lin Zhiqiang gave a meaningful smile.

Su Wanwan was startled, but she still tried to remain calm: "Uncle Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Zhiqiang opened the car door and said, "Get in the car, we'll talk while we go."

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but finally got in the car. She knew that this night was far from over, but just beginning.

As the car slowly drove into the night, Lin Zhiqiang said, "Mrs. Huo, you shouldn't be running around outside alone. The situation is so tense now. If something happens, it will be troublesome."

Su Wanwan looked at Lin Zhiqiang warily: "Uncle Lin, are you spying on me?"

Lin Zhiqiang smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just happened to pass by. However, I do have something to say to you."

"What words?"

Lin Zhiqiang's expression became serious. "Mrs. Huo, you may not understand the dangers of the business world. Some people are friends on the surface, but they are actually stabbing you in the back. I suggest that you should go out less recently and don't easily believe what others say."

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, but she remained calm: "I appreciate Uncle Lin's kindness. However, I believe Yan Shen will handle everything."

Lin Zhiqiang looked at Su Wanwan meaningfully and said, "I hope so. However, if you find anything that is unfavorable to the company, remember to tell me as soon as possible. After all, we are all for the good of the Huo Group."

The car stopped at the entrance of the Huo family's mansion. Just as Su Wanwan was about to get out of the car, Lin Zhiqiang suddenly said, "By the way, Mrs. Huo, it's best not to contact the person you met tonight again. Some people's intentions are not as simple as they seem."

Su Wanwan was startled, but she forced herself to remain calm, nodded, and quickly got out of the car.

Watching Lin Zhiqiang's car disappear into the night, Su Wanwan's heart beat violently. She suddenly realized that she had been caught in a complicated vortex, and everyone seemed to have their own purpose and calculation.

Just then, her phone received another text message. It was from Wang He: "Wanwan, be careful of Lin Zhiqiang. He is not as simple as he seems. If you decide to tell Huo Yanshen the truth, be sure to tell him in person, not over the phone or through text messages."

Su Wanwan stared at the text message and felt dizzy. She suddenly realized that she was standing in the center of a huge chess game, and every move could affect the overall situation.

At this moment, the door of the Huo family mansion suddenly opened. Huo Yanshen appeared at the door with a tired but concerned face: "Wanwan, you are finally back. I was worried about you."

Looking at Huo Yanshen, Su Wanwan suddenly felt like crying. She threw herself into Huo Yanshen's arms, her voice trembling: "Yan Shen, can we talk? There are things I must tell you."

Huo Yanshen hugged Su Wanwan tightly, his voice low and firm: "Of course, no matter what happens, we have to face it together."
