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

Su Wanwan stood in front of the French window of the Huo family mansion, looking at the busy wedding preparation staff outside. There were only two days left before the wedding, and the entire Huo family was shrouded in a joyous atmosphere. However, her heart was like being pressed by a huge rock, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen's voice came from behind, "Are you okay?"

Su Wanwan turned around and forced a smile, "I'm fine, just a little nervous."

Huo Yanshen walked closer and gently held her hand. "If you feel too stressed, we can always postpone the wedding."

Su Wanwan shook her head. “No, we must proceed as planned. Only in this way can we find out the truth.”

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

"If you want to know more about the truth behind the Dark Phoenix, see you at the Old Library at 10pm tonight. Make sure no one is following you before you come."

Su Wanwan's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at Huo Yanshen, hesitating whether to tell him.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yanshen keenly noticed her abnormality.

Su Wanwan bit her lip and finally decided to confess, "Someone asked me to meet him tonight and said he wanted to tell me about the 'Dark Phoenix'."

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became serious, "It's too dangerous, you can't go."

"But this may be our only clue," Su Wanwan said eagerly, "If we can find out the truth, maybe we won't have to live in fear anymore."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, but I will go with you."

Su Wanwan nodded in agreement, but secretly made another decision in her heart.

As night fell, Su Wanwan went back to her room to rest early, using the excuse of feeling unwell. She quietly changed into a black casual outfit, put on a hat and a mask, and carefully slipped out through the back door.

The old library is located in the old part of the city, and it is quiet all around. Su Wanwan looked around vigilantly, making sure no one was following her, and then walked quickly into the library.

"You're here." A deep voice came from behind the bookshelf.

Su Wanwan turned around and saw a man wearing a hat and sunglasses.

"Who are you? What do you know?" Su Wanwan asked directly.

The man didn't answer, but handed her a USB flash drive. "All the information is here. But remember, the more you know, the greater the danger."

Just as Su Wanwan reached out to take the USB drive, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Go!" the man growled and pushed Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan instinctively grabbed the USB drive and turned to run. She heard the sounds of fighting and gunfire behind her, and her heart was beating like a drum.

Su Wanwan ran out of the library and went into an alley. At this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm.

"Ah!" Su Wanwan screamed and turned around to struggle.

"It's me!" Huo Yanshen's voice came.

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt guilty again, "Yan Shen, why are you......"

"I followed you here," Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with obvious anger, "Do you know how dangerous this is?"

Just then, sirens were heard in the distance.

"We have to leave here," Huo Yanshen took Su Wanwan's hand, "Follow me."

The two of them took many detours and finally got rid of the possible pursuers. After returning to the safe house, Huo Yanshen immediately locked the door and drew the curtains.

"You are too reckless," Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan and said, his voice full of blame and worry, "If something happens..."

"I'm sorry," Su Wanwan lowered her head, "I just want to find out the truth as soon as possible."

Huo Yanshen sighed and hugged Su Wanwan in his arms, "I understand how you feel. But Wanwan, we are a family and we should face this together."

Su Wanwan leaned on Huo Yanshen's chest and suddenly felt dizzy.

"Wanwan? What's wrong with you?" Huo Yanshen noticed her abnormality and hurriedly supported her.

"I'm fine, maybe I was too nervous." Su Wanwan forced a smile.

Huo Yan frowned, "We have to be more careful. The situation is too dangerous now, maybe we should consider canceling the wedding..."

“No!” Su Wanwan suddenly raised her voice, “We can’t cancel the wedding. This may be our only chance…”

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain.

"Ah!" Su Wanwan bent down in pain.

"Wanwan!" Huo Yanshen looked at the gradually expanding bloodstain on Su Wanwan's pants in horror.

"Child...protect the child..." Su Wanwan murmured, and then lost consciousness.

When Su Wanwan woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. Huo Yanshen was holding her hand tightly, his face full of worry.

"Child...how is the child?" Su Wanwan asked weakly.

Huo Yanshen stroked her cheek gently, "Don't worry, the baby is fine. The doctor said it was a mild threatened miscarriage, and it's stable now."

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but then she thought of the USB drive again, "Where's the USB drive?"

“Here,” Huo Yanshen took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, “but Wanwan, the most important thing now is the health of you and the child. Other things can wait…”

“No,” Su Wanwan insisted, “We must know the truth. Yan Shen, promise me, if…if anything happens to me, you must find out the truth and protect our child.”

Huo Yanshen's eyes flashed with pain. "Don't talk nonsense. We will get through this together and find out the truth together."

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and Mr. Huo walked in.

"I heard Wanwan was hospitalized," Mr. Huo glanced between the two of them, "What happened?"

Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan exchanged glances and said nothing.

Mr. Huo sighed, "I know you are investigating something. But kids, some things are better not to know too much."

Su Wanwan was shocked. Was Mr. Huo's words a warning or a reminder?

"Grandpa," Huo Yanshen said, "if you know something..."

"Enough!" Mr. Huo suddenly raised his voice, "The wedding is the day after tomorrow. The most important thing now is to make sure everything goes smoothly. As for other things..." He looked at the two of them meaningfully, "Let's talk about it after the wedding."

After saying that, Mr. Huo turned and left the ward, leaving Su Wanwan and Huo Yan deep in thought.

Outside the window, it was getting darker. Night was about to fall, and Su Wanwan knew that the real test had just begun. She held Huo Yanshen's hand tightly and swore in her heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would face them bravely.

Because now, she is not only fighting for herself, but also for the child in her belly, and for her and Huo Yanshen's future.
