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

Chapter 122 Undercurrents and the Truth in the Mist

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were speeding through the city streets, both of them were extremely anxious. Zhang Jiaying's sudden loss of contact made them realize that the seriousness of the situation was far beyond their imagination.

"Do you think Jiaying has already..." Su Wanwan hesitated, not daring to say the worst possible scenario.

Huo Yanshen gripped the steering wheel tightly and said firmly, "Don't worry, Jiaying is so smart, she will be fine. The most important thing for us now is to find her as soon as possible."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?" Su Wanwan answered the phone cautiously.

"Mr. Su," a deep male voice came from the other end of the line, "I am Wang He from the Huo Group. I have important information to tell you, but I can't tell you over the phone. Can we meet in a safe place?"

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged a look. Wang He is the company's IT expert. If he really has important information, it may be crucial to solving the current mystery.

"Okay, Wang He. Let's meet at the cafe in the old town. In half an hour." Su Wanwan said and hung up the phone.

"Are you sure you want to meet him?" Huo Yanshen asked, "This could be a trap."

Su Wanwan nodded: "We have no choice. If Wang He really has key information, this may be our only chance."

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen arrived at the agreed coffee shop. For safety reasons, they chose a seat by the window so that they could observe the surrounding situation.

After a while, Wang He came in. He looked nervous and kept looking around.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Huo," Wang He lowered his voice immediately after sitting down, "I found something shocking. The hacker attack that leaked the company's secrets was actually launched from within the company!"

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen took a breath at the same time.

"Are you sure?" Huo Yanshen asked.

Wang He nodded: "I am 100% sure. What's more terrifying is that I have traced the source of the attack. It is..."

At this moment, the door of the cafe was suddenly pushed open. Several masked men rushed in and headed straight for their table.

"Be careful!" Huo Yanshen shouted and quickly protected Su Wanwan behind him.

Wang He reacted very quickly, grabbing the coffee pot on the table and pouring it at the nearest masked man. While the other party was dodging, he rushed to the back door.

"Follow me quickly!" Wang He shouted.

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen followed closely behind. The three of them walked through the kitchen, rushed out the back door, and entered a narrow alley.

There were hurried footsteps and roars behind them. They knew that the masked men were chasing them relentlessly.

"This way!" Wang He pointed to a corner, "My car is parked there!"

The three of them ran desperately and finally saw Wang He's car. Just as they were about to get in the car, a gunshot suddenly pierced the night sky.

"Ah!" Wang He screamed and fell to the ground, covering his shoulder.

Huo Yanshen immediately dragged Wang He into the car, and Su Wanwan quickly started the car. The car sped away from the scene, leaving behind a group of cursing pursuers.

"Wang He, are you okay?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

Wang He gritted his teeth and endured the pain: "I'm fine, just a scratch. Mr. Su, you must know the truth. The person who leaked the secrets..."

At this moment, a black car suddenly hit from the side. The huge impact caused Su Wanwan to lose control of the steering wheel for a while.

"Be careful!" Huo Yanshen shouted.

Su Wanwan tried hard to keep the steering wheel steady, but the car still lost control and crashed into the guardrail on the side of the road. With a sharp sound of metal friction, the car finally stopped.

"Wanwan, are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked anxiously.

Su Wanwan shook her head: "I'm fine. Where's Wang He?"

They turned to look at the back seat, only to find that Wang He was gone. The car door was wide open, and it was obvious that Wang He had taken the opportunity to escape during the chaos of the collision.

"Damn it!" Huo Yanshen said in annoyance, "We were deceived. Wang He is probably the traitor!"

Su Wanwan's heart sank: "Then what he just said..."

"It's very likely to lure us out," Huo Yanshen frowned and said, "We fell into a trap."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhang Jiaying!

"Jiaying! Are you okay?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

“Wanwan, I’m fine,” Zhang Jiaying’s voice sounded a little tired, “but the situation is complicated. I found something surprising. Where are you now? We must meet immediately.”

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment and looked at Huo Yanshen. Huo Yanshen nodded, indicating that she agreed to meet.

“Okay, let’s meet at the safe house in the old town. Do you remember the location?” Su Wanwan said.

"Remember. I'll be there right away." Zhang Jiaying said and hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen arrived at a dilapidated apartment in the old city. This was the safe house they had prepared many years ago to deal with emergencies.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhang Jiaying waiting anxiously.

"Oh my God, you guys are finally here," Zhang Jiaying rushed forward and hugged Su Wanwan tightly, "I almost thought I would never see you again."

"What happened?" Huo Yanshen asked, "You suddenly lost contact, and we were all worried to death."

Zhang Jiaying took a deep breath. "I found a secret base of 'Black Claw'. But just when I was about to investigate further, they found me. I had to hide."

"You said you had an important discovery?" Su Wanwan asked.

Zhang Jiaying nodded and took out a USB flash drive from her bag. "This contains all the evidence I have collected. The true identity of the 'Black Claw', their criminal network, and..." She paused, "and Mr. Huo's secrets."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw shock and worry in each other's eyes.

"My father...what exactly is he involved in?" Huo Yanshen asked with difficulty.

Zhang Jiaying shook his head: "I haven't had time to look at the specific content carefully. But from the clips I saw, things are far more complicated than we thought. Mr. Huo may not be a simple accomplice, but..."

At this moment, the door of the safe house was suddenly slammed.

"Open the door! Police!" An angry roar came from outside the door.

Su Wanwan, Huo Yanshen and Zhang Jiaying were suddenly panicked.

"Hurry, escape through the back window!" Huo Yanshen said decisively.

The three men acted quickly, but just as they were about to climb out of the window, the door was kicked open and a group of fully armed police rushed in.

"Don't move! Put your hands up!" the leading police officer shouted.

Su Wanwan, Huo Yanshen and Zhang Jiaying were forced to raise their hands and look at each other helplessly.

"Su Wanwan, Huo Yanshen," the police officer said coldly, "you are suspected of leaking state secrets and assisting foreign forces in espionage activities. You are now arrested in accordance with the law."

"This is a misunderstanding!" Su Wanwan explained eagerly, "We have evidence to prove our innocence."

The police officer sneered: "Evidence? Are you talking about this?" He shook the USB flash drive in his hand, and it was the one that Zhang Jiaying had just taken out.

Su Wanwan's heart sank, realizing that they might have fallen into a trap again.

Just as the police were about to take them away, the window of the safe house was suddenly shattered, and a smoke bomb rolled in, instantly filling the entire room.

"Be careful!" Huo Yanshen shouted and pulled Su Wanwan and Zhang Jiaying to the ground.

In the chaos, they heard fierce fighting and gunshots. When the smoke cleared, they were surprised to find that the group of "policemen" had fallen to the ground, and standing in front of them was Commissioner Chen!

“Follow me quickly,” Special Agent Chen said hastily. “We don’t have much time. The real police will be here soon.”

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other. Although they were full of questions, they knew they had no choice at the moment.

Five minutes later, they got in Special Agent Chen's car and quickly left the scene.

"Special Commissioner Chen, what is going on?" Su Wanwan couldn't help but ask.

Special Agent Chen took a deep breath. “Things are much more complicated than we thought. The Black Claw has infiltrated the upper echelons of government. We don’t know who we can trust.”

"What about my father?" Huo Yanshen asked anxiously.

Special Commissioner Chen shook his head: "Mr. Huo's situation is very special. He may be a victim or a key figure. But the most important thing now is that we must protect the USB drive. The information in it may be related to the security of the entire country."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and realized that they had been involved in a situation that was far more dangerous and complicated than they had imagined.
