The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich
Chapter 57 Undercurrents
Huo Yanshen brought Su Wanwan into the study room. After closing the door, he looked at his wife seriously: "Wanwan, what happened? You look very uneasy."
Su Wanwan took a deep breath and told Huo Yanshen everything that happened tonight, including Wang He's warning and Lin Zhiqiang's abnormal behavior.
After Huo Yanshen finished listening, he frowned and said, "What Wang He said is indeed very serious. If it is true, we really need to re-evaluate this acquisition."
"Do you believe Wang He?" Su Wanwan asked cautiously.
Huo Yan thought for a moment: "We can't completely believe it, but we can't completely deny it either. We need more evidence."
At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face became serious: "It's Lin Zhiqiang."
Su Wanwan watched nervously as Huo Yanshen answered the phone.
"What? Are you sure?" Huo Yanshen's voice suddenly rose, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen stood up quickly: "Wanwan, something happened in the company. Someone hacked into our system and stole some confidential files."
Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Could it be related to what Wang He said?"
Huo Yanshen nodded: "It's very likely. I have to rush back to the company immediately. Wanwan, you must be careful at home and don't trust anyone easily. If there is anything unusual, notify me immediately."
Watching Huo Yanshen's hurried departure, Su Wanwan felt uneasy. She vaguely felt that a bigger storm was brewing.
The next morning, Su Wanwan was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Mrs. Huo standing outside with a serious expression.
"Wanwan, have you watched the news?" Mrs. Huo handed her a newspaper.
Su Wanwan took the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page: "Huo Group suspected of commercial espionage, stock price plummets"
“This...what’s going on?” Su Wanwan asked in shock.
Mrs. Huo sighed: "I don't know who leaked the news that the Huo Group used illegal means in the acquisition process. Now the media are reporting on this matter, and the company's stock price has hit the limit down."
At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone rang. It was a text message from Wang He: "Wanwan, have you seen the news? What I warned you about has happened. Now, only you can help Huo Yanshen."
Su Wanwan's heart beat faster and she knew she had to do something.
"Mom, I have to go to the company to find Yan Shen." Su Wanwan quickly changed her clothes.
Mrs. Huo said worriedly: "The situation is so chaotic now, I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go there."
"But I can't just sit there and watch." Su Wanwan said firmly.
When Su Wanwan arrived at the Huo Group building, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. The building was surrounded by reporters and angry investors, and the security guards were trying to maintain order.
Su Wanwan squeezed into the building with difficulty and came to Huo Yanshen's office. When she opened the door, she saw Huo Yanshen was discussing something intensely with several executives.
"Yan Shen!" Su Wanwan shouted.
Huo Yanshen raised his head, and when he saw Su Wanwan, a hint of surprise and worry flashed in his eyes: "Wanwan, why are you here? The situation is very complicated now, you shouldn't be here."
"I can't just stand by and watch," Su Wanwan said firmly, "I might know something."
Huo Yanshen motioned for the others to leave first, then closed the door: "What do you know?"
Su Wanwan took a deep breath and told her all the details that Wang He had told her.
After Huo Yanshen heard this, his expression became more serious: "If this is true, then we have indeed fallen into a carefully designed trap. But the problem now is that we have no evidence to prove that the new energy company has committed intellectual property theft."
At this moment, the office door was pushed open. Lin Zhiqiang hurried in: "Boss Huo, it's bad! Someone posted a recording online, claiming to be a conversation between you and the boss of that new energy company, involving commercial espionage and illegal transactions!"
Huo Yanshen's face turned pale in an instant: "What? Let me listen to the recording."
Lin Zhiqiang played the recording. Although the sound was a little distorted, it did sound like Huo Yanshen's voice discussing some shady deals.
Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen in surprise: "This can't be true, right?"
Huo Yanshen shook his head firmly: "Of course not. This is obviously a fake. But the question is, how can we prove this to the outside world?"
Just then, Su Wanwan's phone rang again. It was a message from Wang He: "Wanwan, I found some evidence that proves that the new energy company did steal our technology. Where are you? I can give you the evidence."
Su Wanwan glanced at Huo Yanshen and replied: "I'm in the Huo Group building. Can you come here?"
“It’s too dangerous,” Wang He replied. “Let’s meet outside. In half an hour, at the same place.”
Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell Huo Yanshen: "Yan Shen, Wang He said he has evidence to prove the company's illegal behavior. He asked me to meet him outside in half an hour."
Huo Yan frowned: "This may be a trap. I'm worried about you going alone."
"But if we don't go, we may lose our only chance." Su Wanwan insisted.
Huo Yan thought deeply for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, but I will let the bodyguards protect you secretly. If there is any abnormal situation, leave immediately."
Su Wanwan nodded in agreement and quickly left the office.
However, she did not notice that the moment she turned around, a strange light flashed in Lin Zhiqiang's eyes.
Half an hour later, Su Wanwan arrived at the agreed coffee shop. She looked around but did not see Wang He.
Just as she was about to send a message to Wang He, a text message came from an unfamiliar number: "The evidence is in the trash can in the alley behind the cafe. Be careful, someone is following you."
Su Wanwan's heart beat faster. She looked around vigilantly and then walked quickly towards the back alley.
However, just as she was about to reach the trash can, someone suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind. A pungent smell came, Su Wanwan felt dizzy, and then lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she found herself tied to a chair and surrounded by an unfamiliar warehouse.
"Welcome back, Mrs. Huo." A familiar voice sounded.
Su Wanwan looked up and saw Lin Zhiqiang standing in front of her with a cold smile on his face.
“Uncle Lin? Why...why is it you?” Su Wanwan asked in horror.
Lin Zhiqiang approached slowly: "Why? Because some people are too greedy and want to monopolize all the benefits. And I am just taking back what belongs to me."
At this moment, the door of the warehouse was pushed open, and Huo Yanshen rushed in with a team of police officers.
"Let go of my wife!" Huo Yanshen roared.
Lin Zhiqiang turned around, his expression becoming ferocious: "Huo Yanshen, you came just in time. Now, it's time to settle the accounts."
Huo Yanshen looked at Lin Zhiqiang coldly: "You planned all the conspiracies? Including those false news and recordings?"
Lin Zhiqiang laughed loudly: "That's right. You think you are smart? In fact, from the beginning, you have been following my script. That new energy company? It's just a cover. The real target has always been you, Huo Yanshen."
Just as Lin Zhiqiang was speaking proudly, the police had quietly surrounded him.
"Lin Zhiqiang, you are under arrest." The police came forward and handcuffed him.
Seeing Lin Zhiqiang being taken away, Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Yanshen walked quickly to her side, untied the rope, and held her tightly in his arms.
"I'm sorry, Wanwan. I shouldn't have let you take the risk." Huo Yan said with deep guilt.
Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, I was too reckless. I should have been more careful."
At this moment, a police officer came over and said, "Mr. Huo, we found some important evidence in Lin Zhiqiang's computer that can prove your innocence."
Huo Yanshen nodded: "Thank you. We will fully cooperate with the investigation."
When walking out of the warehouse, Su Wanwan suddenly remembered something: "Yan Shen, where is Wang He? He said he has evidence..."
Huo Yanshen's expression became complicated: "Wanwan, Wang He never contacted you from beginning to end. Those text messages were forged by Lin Zhiqiang in order to lure you into the trap."
Su Wanwan opened her eyes wide in shock: "How...how is this possible?"
Huo Yanshen sighed: "Business is like a battlefield. Sometimes, the people closest to you are most likely to become your enemies."
Looking at Huo Yanshen's tired but resolute profile, Su Wanwan suddenly realized that she still had a long way to learn. In this complex business world, every step could be a trap, and every decision could affect the overall situation.
But she knew that as long as Huo Yanshen was by her side, they could face any challenge together.
However, just when they thought the storm was about to subside, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face instantly became solemn.
"Hey, old man. What?!"
Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen's expression and felt an ominous premonition in her heart. She knew that this storm was far from over.
