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

Su Wanwan stared at the computer screen, her fingers moving quickly on the keyboard. Since discovering the existence of the "Phoenix Project", she and Huo Yanshen have not stopped exploring. The warning message from "Shadow" not only did not scare them away, but aroused their curiosity even more.

"Yan Shen, look at this." Su Wanwan pointed to a document on the screen, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Huo Yanshen came closer, frowning: "Is this... a record of fund transfer?"

Su Wanwan nodded: "That's right. And did you notice? The destination of this money is an offshore company called 'Seagull'."

"Seagull..." Huo Yanshen muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Wait, I remember. This company once participated in the bidding for one of our projects five years ago."

Su Wanwan keenly noticed the abnormality in her husband's tone: "Is there something wrong?"

Huo Yan thought for a moment: "The conditions offered by this company were so generous that we all found it unbelievable. But in the end, they suddenly withdrew."

"What you mean is..." Su Wanwan thought.

"That's right," Huo Yanshen nodded, "Now it seems that this is most likely part of the 'Phoenix Project'. They participated in the bidding just to cover up their tracks."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's eyes were attracted by another document. She quickly glanced through it, and her face suddenly turned pale: "Yan Shen, you have to look at this."

Huo Yanshen took the document and his expression became uglier the more he read it. It was a detailed plan, which clearly stated that they were going to secretly acquire a large number of shares in the Huo Group, and then launch a surprise attack at a critical moment to seize control of the company.

"This... this is simply an elaborate conspiracy!" Huo Yanshen clenched his fists, his voice filled with anger.

Su Wanwan patted her husband's hand soothingly: "Calm down, Yan Shen. We have to find a way to stop this plan."

Huo Yan took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "You are right. But the problem is that we don't know how far this plan has progressed."

Su Wanwan pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Maybe we can start with the list of shareholders. If someone is secretly acquiring shares, there will definitely be traces left."

Huo Yanshen's eyes lit up: "Good idea! I will ask the Finance Department to provide the latest list of shareholders."

Just as Huo Yanshen was about to make a phone call, Su Wanwan suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait, we have to be careful. If Shadow really has spies inside the company, a rash investigation might alert the enemy."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "You are right. What should we do then?"

Su Wanwan suddenly had an idea: “I remember that after the last board meeting, your secretary gave you a copy of the latest shareholder report. Maybe we can start from there.”

Huo Yanshen immediately stood up and walked towards the safe in the study: "Yes, I locked it here."

As the safe was opened, a thick folder was taken out. The couple couldn't wait to read it and carefully compared the information of each shareholder.

Suddenly, Su Wanwan pointed to one of the pages and said, "Look here! This company called 'Chenxi Investment' has quietly acquired nearly 5% of the shares in the past six months."

Huo Yanshen frowned: "Chenxi Investment? I have never heard of this company."

Su Wanwan quickly searched on the computer: "According to public information, this is an investment company that was established less than a year ago. But strangely, I can't find any substantive information about it."

"It's probably a shell company." Huo Yanshen's expression became serious. "It seems we have found the right direction."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her face changed slightly: "It's Secretary Zhang."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Take it, but be careful not to reveal your true identity."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and answered the phone: "Hello, Secretary Zhang."

"Mr. Su, I'm sorry to bother you so late." Secretary Zhang's voice came from the other end of the phone. "It's like this. The Finance Department just found some abnormal fund flows. I would like to ask if you can take some time to review it tomorrow?"

Su Wanwan tried to keep her voice steady: "Okay, no problem. I'll be there tomorrow morning."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged a meaningful look.

"Do you think this is a coincidence?" Su Wanwan asked softly.

Huo Yanshen shook his head: "I'm afraid not. It's very likely that someone discovered our investigation and wanted to test our reaction."

Su Wanwan bit her lip and said, "Will it be dangerous if I go to the Finance Department tomorrow?"

Huo Yanshen held his wife's hand: "I will go with you. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Su Wanwan looked at her husband gratefully, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, should we find someone we can trust to help? For example, Assistant Lin?"

Huo Yan thought deeply for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Good idea. Assistant Lin has always been loyal, and he also has connections in the Finance Department. We can ask him to help us investigate secretly."

In this way, the two discussed until late at night and made a detailed plan. The next morning, they would face possible traps and challenges.

In the early morning, sunlight shone through the curtains into the bedroom. Su Wanwan opened her eyes and found that Huo Yanshen had already gotten up and was getting dressed.

"Are you awake?" Huo Yanshen said gently, "I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite breakfast. Today may be a long day, you need to eat more."

Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart and quickly got up and washed. As she dressed in front of the mirror, she saw the determination flashing in her eyes. No matter what challenges lay ahead, she would fight side by side with Huo Yanshen.

After breakfast, the couple got on the car to the company. On the way, they were both silent, thinking about the situation they were about to face.

The car drove into the underground parking lot of the Huo Group building. Su Wanwan took a deep breath and asked, "Are you ready?"

Huo Yanshen nodded firmly: "Let's face it together."

The elevator door opened, and Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan walked into the busy office area. Employees greeted them one after another, but both of them were keenly aware that there was an unusually tense atmosphere in the air.

As soon as I walked to the office door, Secretary Zhang came to greet me hurriedly: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Su, colleagues from the Finance Department are waiting for you in the conference room."

Huo Yanshen nodded: "Okay, we'll go there right away."

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and several senior executives from the Finance Department immediately stood up. Su Wanwan noticed that their expressions were a little unnatural.

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Su," the CFO said, his voice slightly nervous, "We have discovered some unusual fund flows. I hope you can take a look at them."

As a stack of documents was pushed in front of them, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances.
