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

Su Wanwan woke up from her light sleep and subconsciously reached for her side, only to find that Huo Yanshen's seat was empty. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside. It was 3:15 in the morning.

"Yan Shen?" She called softly, but got no response.

Su Wanwan put on her nightgown and tiptoed out of the bedroom. A faint light shone through the crack of the study door at the end of the corridor. She approached quietly and heard Huo Yanshen's low voice coming from inside.

"Are you sure the news is true?" Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with a rare hint of nervousness. "Okay, I got it. Keep watching and report any movement immediately."

Su Wanwan gently pushed the door open and saw Huo Yanshen standing in front of the window with a frown on his face and a cell phone in his hand.

"What happened?" Su Wanwan asked softly.

Huo Yanshen turned around, and the moment he saw his wife, a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by solemnity. "Sorry for waking you up."

Su Wanwan walked to her husband and held his hand: "Don't say sorry, we are husband and wife, and we should face anything together. What happened?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath and hugged his wife in his arms: "I just got the news that Cheng Yuan may be secretly acquiring our suppliers and downstream channels. If the news is true, our entire supply chain may be threatened."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath. Although she had little business experience, she understood what this meant. Once the supply chain was controlled, the Huo Group would be in a passive position and might even face huge losses.

"What should we do?" Su Wanwan asked, with worry in her voice but a firm look in her eyes.

Huo Yanshen gently stroked his wife's back and said in a deep voice: "I have asked someone to verify the news. If it is true, we must take action immediately. But the most important thing now is not to alert the enemy."

Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Yan Shen, I remember that at the last company annual meeting, you mentioned that you wanted to open up new supply channels. Can we take this opportunity to speed up the process?"

Huo Yanshen's eyes lit up: "You are right. This is indeed an opportunity. If we can quickly establish a new supply network, it will not only resolve the current crisis, but also lay the foundation for the company's future development."

"Then what do we need to do?" Su Wanwan asked, with a determined light in her eyes.

Huo Yan thought for a moment: "First, we need a detailed plan. Including a list of potential new suppliers, cost analysis, risk assessment, etc. Secondly, we need to quietly contact these suppliers without alerting Cheng Yuan."

Su Wanwan thought for a moment: "This plan needs to be kept absolutely confidential, and we need to act quickly. Yan Shen, let me be responsible for making the plan. I can use the excuse of doing market research to secretly collect information."

Huo Yanshen hesitated: "Wanwan, this could be dangerous. Cheng Yuan is not easy to deal with."

Su Wanwan said firmly: "I know. But because of this, we need to work together even more. I don't want to be just a protected vase, I want to be your right-hand man."

Looking at his wife's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen felt a warm current in his heart. He hugged Su Wanwan tightly: "Okay, we will face it together. But you must be careful. If you encounter any danger at any time, notify me immediately."

Su Wanwan nodded: "I promise."

In this way, the couple began to act separately. Huo Yanshen continued to stay in the company, and everything seemed normal on the surface, but secretly he was preparing for the storm that might come. Su Wanwan, on the other hand, began to contact various potential new suppliers under the pretext of market research.

Three days later in the afternoon, Su Wanwan was sorting out the information she had collected at home when she suddenly received a call from her best friend Zhang Jiaying.

"Wanwan, you haven't been to any remote places recently, right?" There was a hint of nervousness in Zhang Jiaying's voice.

Su Wanwan's heart tightened: "No, what's wrong?"

"I just received a message saying that someone is secretly tracking your whereabouts. I don't know who it is, but it doesn't sound well-intentioned. You must be careful."

Su Wanwan pretended to be calm: "Thank you, Jiaying. I will pay attention."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and quickly sent an encrypted message to Huo Yanshen, telling him about the situation.

Not long after, Huo Yanshen replied: "Received. I have arranged for people to strengthen security. You return to the company immediately. We need to talk in person."

Su Wanwan was about to get up when she heard a commotion downstairs. She walked to the window cautiously and saw several strangers arguing with the security guard.

Just then, her cell phone rang again. It was Huo Yanshen calling.

"Wanwan, are you still at home?" Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with anxiety.

“Yeah, I was just getting ready to go out. What’s up?”

“Don’t go out! Someone may have already spotted you. I will send someone to pick you up right now. Before that, you hide in the safe house, don’t come out, and don’t open the door to anyone.”

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened, but she forced herself to calm down: "Okay, I get it. Come on."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan quickly put away the important documents and hid in the hidden safe house prepared for her by Huo Yanshen. Just as she closed the door of the safe house, she heard hurried footsteps coming from downstairs.

Time passed by minute by minute, Su Wanwan held her breath in the dark, trying to stay calm. She could hear the sound of searching outside, and someone seemed to be rummaging through the items in the room.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door of the safe house.

"Ma'am, it's me, Butler Li. Mr. Huo sent me to pick you up."

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment and did not open the door immediately. She remembered Huo Yanshen's instructions not to open the door to anyone.

"Madam, please open the door quickly. The situation is urgent and we must leave immediately." The voice outside the door became more and more urgent.

Just when Su Wanwan was in a dilemma, her phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Huo Yanshen: "Don't open the door. I'm already here."

Almost at the same time, she heard a commotion outside, followed by Huo Yanshen's angry voice: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my home?"

The chaos lasted for a few minutes, and finally calmed down. The door of the safe house was knocked again, and this time it was Huo Yanshen's voice: "Wanwan, it's me. It's safe now, you can come out."

Su Wanwan opened the door carefully, and seeing her husband's concerned eyes, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and threw herself into his arms.

Huo Yanshen hugged his wife tightly: "It's okay, Wanwan. Are you not hurt?"

Su Wanwan shook her head: "I'm fine. What happened?"

Huo Yanshen's expression became serious: "It's Cheng Yuan's people. It seems that he has noticed our actions and wants to start with you. Fortunately, we discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and suddenly thought of something: "Yan Shen, our plan..."

Huo Yanshen patted his wife's back gently: "Don't worry, the plan is still in progress. This incident actually gave us an opportunity. Cheng Yuan showed his hand, and we can use this to fight back."

Looking at her husband's determined eyes, Su Wanwan felt a surge of strength in her heart. She knew that the crisis was far from over, but as long as they worked together, there was nothing to be afraid of.

"What should we do next?" Su Wanwan asked, with a determined light in her eyes.

Huo Yanshen smiled slightly: "I already have a plan. But before that, we need to ensure your safety. You may need to leave for a while in the next period of time."

Su Wanwan nodded: "I understand. Whatever you need me to do, I will fully cooperate."

Huo Yanshen glanced at his wife, his eyes full of love and admiration: "It's great to have you, Wanman. Together, we will definitely get through this difficult time."
