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

Su Wanwan almost held her breath hiding in the closet. The small space was filled with a musty smell, but she didn't dare to move at all.

Footsteps moved back and forth in the room. Through the crack in the closet door, she saw a man in a black jacket searching for something in the room. The man was wearing a mask and a hat, so her face could not be seen clearly.

"Strange, I clearly saw someone coming in..." the man muttered to himself in a low and hoarse voice.

Su Wanwan's heart beat faster. The other party was coming for her!

The man continued to search, his movements professional and silent, checking every drawer of the desk and even looking under the carpet.

Just as he was about to check the closet, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from downstairs.

The man walked quickly to the window and took a look, seeming a little nervous. After a moment, he quickly left the study.

Su Wanwan waited there for nearly ten minutes, and only came out of the closet carefully after making sure that the footsteps had completely disappeared.

She tiptoed to the window and saw a black car driving away quickly. The license plate was blocked and the number was not clear.

"Who on earth is that?" Su Wanwan muttered to herself. Being able to move so freely within the cordon, the other party must be quite powerful.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Su Wanwan quickly left the old house. She was nervous all the way, fearing that she would be followed. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she returned to the Huo family villa.

When Huo Yanshen saw his wife coming back, he quickly went up to her and asked, "Where have you been? I was so worried."

Su Wanwan briefly recounted her experience at the old house, then took out the diary: "Take a look at this."

The two came to the study. Huo Yanshen took the diary and read it carefully.

"These records..." His brows furrowed, "Qinglong Project... I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

Su Wanwan perked up: "Where have you heard of this?"

Huo Yanshen tried to recall: "It seems that a few years ago, at a high-level meeting, Cheng Yuan mentioned this name. But he didn't elaborate at the time, and I didn't care."

"Cheng Yuan?" Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. This name had appeared too frequently recently.

The two continued to study the contents of the diary. In addition to the records they had seen before, there were some more detailed contents at the end:

"The source of funds for the project is complex, involving multiple offshore companies. According to preliminary statistics, the total amount exceeds 10 billion. This is definitely not a number that can be used for ordinary real estate projects."

"We found an organization called the 'Magnolia Club', which seems to be the core of the whole plan. The members are all business celebrities, but it is not clear what they are doing specifically."

“Received an internal document today that mentioned ‘genetic modification’ and ‘human testing’. What on earth are these people trying to do?”

Seeing this, Su Wanwan took a breath and said, "Genetic modification? Human experiments? This..."

Huo Yanshen's expression also became solemn: "If it is true, this is not just a simple commercial crime."

As we continue to flip through the pages, the records become more and more horrifying:

"They set up a secret laboratory on the outskirts of the city. On the surface, it's a medical research center, but in fact... I hope my guess is wrong."

"Another innocent person has disappeared. Officially it was an accidental death, but the time and place are too coincidental."

“I met H today. I didn’t expect that he was actually one of the participants in the whole plan. What’s more frightening is that he told me that this is just the tip of the iceberg.”

The handwriting on the last few pages was obviously much more sloppy, as if it was written in a state of extreme tension:

“They found out I was investigating. The office was ransacked and the computers were hacked.”

“I received an ultimatum. They demanded that I hand over all the evidence, otherwise... I can’t imagine the consequences.”

“Perhaps this is the last time I write a diary. If anyone sees these words, please remember: the truth is hidden in the Qinglong Project. They must be stopped, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.”

On the last page were scribbled these words:

"All the evidence is in the safe. The combination is..."

Unfortunately, this sentence was not completed, leaving only a broken sentence.

After closing the diary, the room fell into silence for a moment.

Su Wanwan's brain was working fast. These records showed a huge conspiracy: business tycoons, secret experiments, huge funds, mysterious organizations...all of this was too shocking.

Could it be that because my father discovered this secret, he...

"Yan Shen," she suddenly thought of something, "You said Cheng Yuan knew about the Qinglong project, so would he..."

Huo Yanshen took over her words: "Is it related to your father's death? It is very likely. But the most important thing now is to find the safe your father mentioned."

"But..." Su Wanwan was a little disappointed, "The clue is broken here."

"Maybe not." Huo Yanshen thought thoughtfully, "Your father is such a cautious person, he must have left other clues. We have to study every detail carefully."

Just then, Su Wanwan's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a text message from an unknown number:

"Ms. Su, I know something about your father. If you want to know the truth, come tonight at 8 o'clock in the Financial City Cafe."

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

The text message came at the perfect time; the other party was obviously spying on them.

But this may also be the only chance to learn the truth.

Just as the two were hesitating, their phones vibrated again. Another text message:

“Also, please check the back cover of your father’s diary. Remember, never trust H.”
