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

The whistling sound of bullets echoed in her ears, and Su Wanwan followed Huo Yanshen closely through the maze-like container group. Her heart was beating like a drum, her breathing was rapid, and the baby in her belly seemed to feel her fear and was restless.

"This way!" Huo Yanshen whispered, pulling Su Wanwan into a narrow passage.

The two men leaned against the cold container and held their breath. The footsteps of the pursuers got closer and closer, and then gradually faded away.

"It's safe for now." Huo Yan heaved a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still alert. "Now, tell me what are you investigating?"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess, "I found some clues about your father's death. It seems to be related to an organization called 'Black Phoenix'."

Huo Yanshen's expression instantly became complicated, with shock and a hint of imperceptible pain, "How did you know about 'Dark Phoenix'?"

"I..." Su Wanwan was about to explain when she suddenly heard sirens coming from a distance.

"The police are here, we have to leave here." Huo Yanshen said, pulling Su Wanwan's hand again.

The two carefully left the dock area and got into Huo Yanshen's car parked nearby.

The moment the car started, Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. But she knew that the real test had just begun.

"Now, tell me everything you know." Huo Yanshen's voice was low and serious.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and told her findings and speculations one by one, from the contents of the mysterious USB drive, to the existence of the "Black Phoenix" organization, to the speculation that Huo Yanshen's father might have been murdered.

After Huo Yanshen finished listening, he was silent for a long time. The car drove through the night, and the light of the neon lights flickered on his face, making it difficult to read his expression.

"Yan Shen," Su Wanwan asked cautiously, "Did you know this before?"

Huo Yanshen sighed deeply, "I have been investigating the cause of my father's death. But I didn't expect that things would be so complicated."

He turned to look at Su Wanwan, his eyes filled with complicated emotions, "Wanwan, it's too dangerous for you to get involved in this. Especially now, you are pregnant with our child."

Su Wanwan held Huo Yanshen's hand and said firmly: "We are a family. Your business is my business. I will not stand idly by."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay. But from now on, we must be more careful. We can't trust anyone."

The car stopped at the foot of an unfamiliar apartment building.

"This is one of my safe houses," Huo Yanshen explained, "We will stay here tonight. We will go back to the company tomorrow."

After entering the apartment, Su Wanwan was surprised to find that it was fully equipped and obviously used frequently.

"Do you come here often?" Su Wanwan asked.

Huo Yanshen nodded, "Sometimes you need a quiet place to think. Especially when investigating your father's affairs."

Su Wanwan looked around and suddenly noticed a strange painting hanging on the wall. In the painting was a phoenix with its wings spread high, but if you look closely, you can see that the feathers of the phoenix are black.

"That painting..." Su Wanwan just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Huo Yanshen.

"It was my father's favorite painting when he was alive." Huo Yanshen said in a low voice, "Now it seems that it may not be just an ordinary painting."

Su Wanwan walked closer and found a tiny groove in the corner of the frame. She subconsciously wanted to touch it, but was stopped by Huo Yanshen.

"Be careful, there may be a trap." Huo Yanshen said, carefully examining the frame, "Sure enough, there is something hidden in it."

He operated it carefully, and the picture frame suddenly popped open, revealing a hidden space. Inside lay an old notebook and a USB flash drive.

"This is..." Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen in surprise.

"Father's notebook." Huo Yanshen's voice trembled a little, "I've been looking for it."

The two of them couldn't wait to open the notebook, which was filled with various data and codes, as well as some seemingly unrelated names and places.

"What do all these mean?" Su Wanwan asked confusedly.

Huo Yan frowned deeply. "I'm not sure. But I think this may be some kind of clue left by my father."

He picked up the USB drive and inserted it into the computer. An encrypted folder immediately popped up on the screen.

"I need a password." Huo Yanshen said, "but I don't know what it is."

Su Wanwan suddenly remembered something and said, "Try the date your father died."

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan in surprise, then entered the date. Surprisingly, the folder opened.

There was only one video file in it. Huo Yan took a deep breath and clicked play.

The face of a middle-aged man appeared in the picture. Su Wanwan immediately recognized that this was Huo Yanshen's father.

"Yan Shen, if you see this video, I may not be alive anymore." The man in the video said in a heavy voice, "I want to tell you a shocking secret. 'Black Phoenix' is not just an organization, it is a huge network composed of various forces in the business and political circles. And our Huo family is an important pawn in it."

Huo Yanshen's face turned pale, and the hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.

"I have been trying to get rid of the control of this network, but I am afraid it is too late." The video continued, "Yan Shen, I hope you can continue my unfinished work. But remember, you must never trust anyone easily, including people within the family."

The video stopped abruptly. The room fell into silence.

"Oh my God..." Su Wanwan murmured to herself, unable to believe what she had just heard.

Huo Yanshen's expression became unusually serious. "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought. Wanwan, from now on, we must be more careful."

Su Wanwan nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Wait, you said that people within the family cannot be trusted. Then Mr. Huo..."

Huo Yanshen's expression became complicated. "I'm not sure. But now, we can't trust anyone easily."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message from an unfamiliar number:

"The truth is far more terrifying than you can imagine. If you want to know more, see you at the old library at 12 noon tomorrow. Remember, don't trust anyone."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances. They knew that they had been drawn into a vortex that was more dangerous and complicated than they had imagined. This vortex not only concerned the fate of the Huo family, but was also likely to affect the entire business landscape.

Outside the window, the night was deep. The lights of the city in the distance were still bright, as if everything was normal. But Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen knew that under this calm appearance, a shocking conspiracy was quietly unfolding.

And they will have to fight for truth and justice in this invisible war.

"No matter what happens, we must face it together." Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's hand tightly with a firm look in his eyes.

Su Wanwan nodded, feeling nervous yet determined.
