The morning sun shone through the curtains into the room, and Su Wanwan had already woken up. She lay quietly on the bed, thinking about what happened last night and the upcoming mysterious meeting.

"Where are you going?" Huo Yanshen's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts.

Su Wanwan turned around and met her husband's concerned eyes. She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess: "I have an appointment to meet someone, which may be related to what we have been investigating."

Huo Yanshen immediately sat up, his face full of worry: "It's too dangerous, I'll go with you."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, the other party specifically asked me to go alone. Yan Shen, believe me, I will be careful."

Looking at his wife's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen finally nodded and compromised: "Okay, but you must keep in touch at all times. If there is anything unusual, call the bodyguard I arranged immediately."

Su Wanwan kissed her husband's cheek gratefully: "I promise you."

At 9:50, Su Wanwan arrived at the agreed location - a remote coffee shop. She chose a seat by the window and sat down, observing her surroundings vigilantly.

Just then, a familiar figure walked into the cafe, and Su Wanwan's pupils shrank slightly - it was Zhang Jiaying.

"Jiaying?" Su Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "Did you invite me here?"

Zhang Jiaying quickly sat down opposite her, looking serious: "Wanwan, listen to me, I found some very important information."

For the next half hour, Zhang Jiaying detailed her findings. It turned out that Lu Wei's family was closely related to the accident that caused the death of Huo Yanshen's parents 20 years ago.

"The most important thing is," Zhang Jiaying said in a low voice, "I suspect Lu Wei knows all this. She may have other purposes in approaching Huo Yanshen."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened as she thought of all the abnormal behaviors Lu Wei had been showing.

"Wanwan, you have to be careful," Zhang Jiaying said solemnly, "I think there might be a conspiracy at tonight's charity dinner."

Su Wanwan nodded: "I understand. Thank you, Jiaying."

When leaving the cafe, Su Wanwan felt extremely heavy-hearted. She knew that tonight's dinner would be a tough battle.

After returning to the Huo family, Su Wanwan immediately found Huo Yanshen and told him the results of Zhang Jiaying's investigation.

After Huo Yanshen heard this, his face darkened: "I knew Lu Wei was untrustworthy. Wanwan, why don't you not go tonight?"

Su Wanwan shook her head firmly: "No, I have to go. This may be a good opportunity for us to uncover the truth. And," she stroked her belly, "I want to fight for a safe future for our child."

Looking at his wife's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen sighed deeply: "Okay, but you have to promise me to stay vigilant at all times."

At 7pm, Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan arrived at the banquet on time. The hall was brightly lit and filled with beautiful people.

"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Su," Lu Wei walked over gracefully with a proper smile on her face, "You two are a perfect match tonight."

Su Wanwan responded politely while secretly observing Lu Wei's every move.

Halfway through the dinner, Su Wanwan used the excuse of going to the bathroom. At the corner of the corridor, she suddenly heard Lu Wei's voice:

“Is everything ready? Remember, you must start when she passes by the balcony.”

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened as she realized that Lu Wei was indeed plotting something. But she did not expose her immediately and decided to wait and see.

Back in the banquet hall, Su Wanwan seemed to be chatting casually with the guests, but in fact she was keeping an eye on Lu Wei's movements.

While she was talking to an entrepreneur, Lu Wei suddenly came over and said, "Mrs. Su, I have a business proposal to discuss with you. Let's go to the balcony to talk. It's too noisy here."

Su Wanwan's heart was filled with alarm, but she knew that this might be the best time to expose Lu Wei's conspiracy.

"Okay," she said with a smile, and secretly pressed the distress signal that Huo Yanshen gave her.

The two of them came to the balcony, and the night breeze was blowing. Lu Wei turned her back to Su Wanwan and pretended to appreciate the night view: "Madam Su, do you know? Sometimes I really envy you."

Su Wanwan stood closer to the door vigilantly: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Lu Wei turned around, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes: "Because you got everything that should have belonged to me. Huo Yanshen, the status of the Huo family, and..." Her eyes fell on Su Wanwan's lower abdomen, "that child."

Su Wanwan was shocked. She didn't expect that Lu Wei knew about her pregnancy.

At this moment, the balcony door was suddenly locked from the outside. Su Wanwan looked back and found that it was Lu Wei's assistant.

"Lu Wei, what exactly do you want to do?" Su Wanwan asked calmly.

Lu Wei sneered: "What do I want to do? I want to take back everything that belongs to me! Who do you think you are? You are just a girl from the countryside. How can you get everything from the Huo family?"

As she spoke, she pushed Su Wanwan violently. Su Wanwan managed to keep her balance, but her feet slipped and she was about to fall off the balcony.

At the critical moment, a strong hand grabbed her.

"Wanwan!" Huo Yanshen's voice came from behind.

It turned out that Huo Yanshen rushed over immediately after receiving the distress signal and kicked open the balcony door in time.

Seeing her plan was exposed, Lu Wei's face changed drastically: "Yan Shen, listen to my explanation..."

"No need to explain," Huo Yanshen said coldly, "I have heard everything. Lu Wei, you disappoint me so much."

At this time, the security guards also arrived at the scene. Huo Yanshen said sternly: "Take her away and hand her over to the police!"

When Lu Wei was taken away, she was still shouting frantically: "Su Wanwan, don't be complacent! This is not over yet!"

After the crisis was resolved, Su Wanwan finally relaxed and collapsed in Huo Yanshen's arms.

"It's okay, Wanwan," Huo Yanshen hugged his wife tightly, "I'm so glad you're okay."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath: "Yan Shen, we have to find out who is behind Lu Wei. This matter may not be that simple."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "I understand. But now, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of you and the child."

At this moment, Mr. Huo came hurriedly: "Wanwan, are you okay?"

Seeing that his granddaughter-in-law was safe and sound, Mr. Huo breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were still furrowed: "This incident has caused such a big stir, I'm afraid it will have a significant impact on the company."

Su Wanwan suddenly had an idea: "Grandpa, maybe we can turn the tables on him."

Huo Yanshen and Old Master Huo looked at her in confusion.

Su Wanwan continued, "We can use this incident to showcase the positive image of the Huo Group. At the same time, we can take this opportunity to clear out some potential destabilizing factors."

Mr. Huo's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Wanwan, it seems we did not make a mistake in choosing the right person."

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand tightly: "Wanwan, you are so great. However, the days ahead may be more difficult. Are you sure you want to continue?"

Su Wanwan nodded firmly: "I'm sure. Yan Shen, let's face it together."

Looking at his wife's resolute eyes, Huo Yanshen felt both proud and distressed. He knew that starting tonight, they would face more challenges and dangers.

But he also knew that as long as they worked together, no difficulties would be insurmountable.

"Okay," Huo Yanshen said solemnly, "then let's fight together to the end."

Mr. Huo looked at the young couple with satisfaction: "Very good. But now, we have to deal with the trouble in front of us first."

The three of them looked at each other and saw determination and confidence in each other's eyes.
