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

The Huo Group’s headquarters building was brightly lit.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen hurried into the president's office, where Assistant Lin had been waiting for a long time.

"What's the situation?" Huo Yan asked in a deep voice.

Assistant Lin looked serious. "It's not very optimistic. After the stock price hit the limit, several large institutional investors have said they will withdraw their capital. The media are also asking us frantically, asking us to respond to the allegations of financial fraud."

Su Wanwan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Wait, isn't it Mr. Huo's birthday party today?"

Huo Yanshen slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot about this. In this situation, I'm afraid many people will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Su Wanwan's eyes flashed, "Maybe this is an opportunity. Yan Shen, you stay in the company to deal with the crisis, and I will go to the birthday party."

Huo Yanshen was a little worried. "Can you do it alone? Those people are not easy to deal with."

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas. I just need you to cooperate with me."

Half an hour later, at the Huo family's old house.

In the magnificent banquet hall, the Huo family gathered together, nominally to celebrate the old man's birthday, but in reality, there were undercurrents and everyone had their own thoughts.

Su Wanwan walked in slowly, wearing a light-colored long dress and holding a bottle of champagne. Her elegant and calm temperament immediately attracted a lot of attention, but more of them were whispers of gloating.

"Have you heard? Huo's Group's stock price hit the limit down today."

"That's right. It's said to be financial fraud. Now we're going to see some fun."

"Tsk tsk, I wonder how Su Wanwan has the nerve to attend the birthday party."

Faced with the gossip around her, Su Wanwan turned a deaf ear and walked straight towards Mr. Huo who was sitting on the main seat.

"Grandpa, I wish you good fortune and a long life." Su Wanwan said respectfully, handing over an exquisite gift box.

Mr. Huo took the gift and smiled kindly, "Good boy, you're here, why bring a gift? Why didn't Yan Shen come with you?"

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "The company has some urgent matters to deal with, Yan Shen asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

As soon as the voice fell, a sharp female voice sounded: "Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be our President Su. What's the matter? The Huo family is in trouble and he didn't even come to the birthday party?"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw Lu Wei holding Huo Yunting's arm, looking at her with a sarcastic expression.

"Uncle, Aunt." Su Wanwan greeted them neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The company did encounter some minor problems, but Yan Shen is working on them, and I believe they will be resolved soon."

Huo Yunting sneered, "Small problem? I heard it's more than a small problem. Financial fraud and stock price plummet. If this is not handled properly, I'm afraid the entire Huo family will be finished."

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the banquet hall. Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Wanwan, waiting for her response.

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Huo Yanshen.

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment." Su Wanwan said politely, then walked aside to answer the phone.

Huo Yanshen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Wanwan, everything is going according to plan. Li Qiang has cooperated with us and provided all the evidence. Now it's up to you."

Su Wanwan said softly: "I understand. Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and turned to face everyone. Her eyes swept over everyone present, finally stopping at Huo Yunting and Lu Wei.

"Everyone," Su Wanwan said in a raised voice, "I know that everyone is very concerned about the company's situation. In this case, I will take the opportunity of my grandfather's birthday party to explain it to everyone."

Mr. Huo nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Su Wanwan smiled slightly. "First of all, I want to clarify that the Huo Group has absolutely not engaged in any financial fraud. Today's stock price plunge is the result of malicious manipulation by someone."

"Oh?" Huo Yunting raised his eyebrows, "Do you have any evidence?"

Su Wanwan said calmly: "Of course there is evidence. Just now, our financial director Mr. Li Qiang has submitted detailed evidence to the Securities Regulatory Commission, proving that someone used insider information to maliciously short our stocks."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Lu Wei's face suddenly changed, and she whispered something to Huo Yunting. Huo Yunting's expression also became solemn.

Su Wanwan continued, “Not only that, we also discovered that a huge financial crime network was involved behind this incident. Someone attempted to control several large listed companies by manipulating the stock market.”

She looked directly at Huo Yunting, "Second Uncle, as a veteran of the company, what do you think about this matter?"

Huo Yunting pretended to be calm and sneered: "What can I think? Since you have already called the police, let the police investigate. However, I am very curious, how did you find the evidence so quickly?"

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "I have to thank Second Aunt for this."

"Me?" Lu Wei looked confused. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Hasn't Second Aunt been asking about the company's financial situation for some time?" Su Wanwan said meaningfully, "Thanks to your 'concern', we have paid special attention to the company's capital flow and discovered the anomaly."

Lu Wei's face turned pale instantly. She subconsciously looked at Huo Yunting, only to find that he was looking at her with a complicated look.

At this moment, Mr. Huo suddenly spoke up: "Yun Ting, do you really know nothing about this?"

Huo Yunting tried to remain calm, "Father, what do you mean? Do you trust this outsider more than your own son?"

The old man sighed, "I am old, and I may not see many things clearly. But one thing I know very well is that the interests of the company are above all else. No matter who it is, as long as they do something to let the company down, don't blame me for being ruthless."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent. Everyone felt the warning in the old man's words.

Just then, Su Wanwan's phone rang again. She took a look and saw a message from Zhang Jiaying:

"Wanwan, I found out! Lu Wei has been in frequent contact with a businessman named Cheng Yuan recently. This Cheng Yuan has a deep background and is said to have connections with underground banks."

Su Wanwan's eyes lit up. She knew that the last piece of the puzzle she had been waiting for was finally in her hands.

She cleared her throat and spoke again: "Everyone, I have another important announcement to make."

Everyone's eyes were on her again.

Su Wanwan said slowly: "After investigation, we found that the mastermind behind this incident is most likely a businessman named Cheng Yuan. This person has close ties with underground banks and specializes in illegal financial activities."

She gave Lu Wei a meaningful look. "Moreover, we have evidence that someone inside the company has been in secret contact with Cheng Yuan and providing him with inside information."

As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall exploded. Everyone was wondering who betrayed the company.

Lu Wei's face was extremely ugly. She trembled and said, "You...you are talking nonsense! You have no evidence at all!"

Su Wanwan smiled slightly, "Of course there is evidence. Second Aunt, have you been to the coffee shop in Mingyue Bay often recently? That is Cheng Yuan's favorite place."

Lu Wei was like being struck by lightning, and her whole body was shaky. Huo Yunting's face also became extremely ugly.

At this moment, Mr. Huo suddenly stood up. His eyes swept across the entire room and finally fell on Huo Yunting and Lu Wei.

"Come here," the old man said in a deep voice, "Take them both away and interrogate them. When the police come, leave them to the police to handle the case."

As the old man finished speaking, several people who looked like bodyguards immediately stepped forward and restrained Huo Yunting and Lu Wei, who looked as pale as death.

Watching the two being taken away, Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that this crisis was finally over for the time being.

However, at this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure quietly leaving the banquet hall. The figure's back made her heart skip a beat.

"Lin Zhiqiang? Why is he here?" Su Wanwan thought to herself, an ominous premonition coming to her mind.

She knew that this battle was far from over and a bigger storm might be brewing.
