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. With less than 24 hours left before the wedding, the entire Huo family was shrouded in a joyous atmosphere. However, her heart felt like it was being pressed by a huge rock, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

After being discharged from the hospital yesterday, Huo Yanshen had been staying by her side all the time. But even so, Su Wanwan still felt an indescribable fear and uneasiness.

"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..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door.

"Come in." Huo Yanshen said.

Assistant Lin pushed the door open with obvious anxiety on his face. "Boss Huo, this is bad. I just received news that a reporter broke the news that Miss Su got pregnant in order to get close to the Huo family. Now the Internet is buzzing about this."

Su Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. Huo Yanshen quickly supported her and said to Assistant Lin with a gloomy face: "Contact the public relations department immediately and prepare a statement. At the same time, find out where this news came from."

After Assistant Lin nodded and left, Huo Yanshen turned to Su Wanwan and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of it. The most important thing for you now is to take care of yourself."

Su Wanwan nodded reluctantly, but her heart was in turmoil. She didn't know whether this revelation was related to "Dark Phoenix", but she was clearly aware that she was facing an unprecedented crisis.

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

"If you don't want the Huo family's secret to be exposed, see you at the old pier at 8 o'clock tonight. Make sure no one is following you before you come. This is your last chance."

Su Wanwan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. 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 threatened me that if I didn't go to the meeting, they would expose the Huo family's secrets."

Huo Yanshen's expression suddenly became serious, "Absolutely not. This is obviously a trap."

"But if we don't go, the Huo family may face a greater crisis," Su Wanwan said anxiously, "Maybe this is our last chance to find out the truth."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, but we go together. I won't let you take risks alone this time."

As night fell, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen cautiously came to the old pier. It was quiet all around except for the sound of waves hitting the shore.

"Be careful," Huo Yanshen whispered, holding Su Wanwan's hand tightly, "If there is any abnormality, retreat immediately."

Just then, a dark shadow walked out from behind the container.

"Su Wanwan," the man said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't expect you to dare to come."

Su Wanwan suppressed her inner fear and looked directly at the man, "Who are you? What do you know?"

The man sneered, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I have enough evidence to destroy the Huo family. If you don't want to see the Huo family ruined, just do what I say."

"What do you want?" Huo Yanshen asked coldly.

"It's simple," the man said, "Cancel tomorrow's wedding and leave the Huo family forever. Otherwise, I will make public the evidence of the Huo family's involvement in the 'Dark Phoenix' project."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen both looked at the man in shock.

"You are lying," Huo Yanshen said sternly, "The Huo family has never been involved in any illegal projects."

The man sneered again, "Really? Then how do you explain these documents?"

As he said that, he threw over a USB flash drive.

Huo Yanshen took the USB drive and his expression became extremely solemn.

"I'll give you an hour to think about it," the man said, then turned and disappeared into the night.

Back in the car, Huo Yanshen immediately checked the contents of the USB drive. As he opened each file, his expression became uglier and uglier.

"Are these...all true?" Su Wanwan asked cautiously.

Huo Yan took a deep breath. "I don't know. But if it's true, it means that the entire Huo family has been involved in a huge conspiracy."

Su Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy. She held her forehead and murmured, "What should we do?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "No matter what, we can't succumb to threats. We must find out the truth, but not at the expense of you and the child."

"What about the wedding..." Su Wanwan asked hesitantly.

"We will proceed as planned," Huo Yanshen said, "but we must be prepared to respond to crises at any time."

Back at the Huo family mansion, both of them were immersed in their own thoughts. The eve of the wedding should have been a sweet and happy moment, but now, they are facing unprecedented challenges.

Su Wanwan stood in her room, looking at herself in the mirror wearing a wedding dress. She should have been excited about becoming Mrs. Huo, but at the moment, her heart was full of contradictions and fear.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Please come in," Su Wanwan said.

The door opened and it was Mr. Huo who walked in.

"Wanwan," Mr. Huo's voice sounded unusually tired, "We need to talk."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, but she still nodded to signal Mr. Huo to continue.

"I know you and Yan Shen are investigating something," Mr. Huo said slowly, "but for some things, knowing too much is actually a burden."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask, "Grandpa, what exactly is the 'Black Phoenix' project? Is the Huo family really involved in it?"

There was a flash of pain in Mr. Huo's eyes. "Wanwan, some things are not black and white. Sometimes we have to make some difficult choices."

“But what if these choices are wrong?” Su Wanwan asked.

Mr. Huo was silent for a moment, then said: "Wanwan, you are still young. When you truly become a member of the Huo family, you will understand that some responsibilities cannot be avoided."

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

It was late at night, and the entire Huo family mansion had fallen into a deep sleep. But Su Wanwan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She got up and walked to the window, looking at the city lights in the distance.

She knew that she was facing the most important decision in her life. Should she continue with the wedding, become a member of the Huo family, and face unknown risks and crises together? Or should she escape now and stay away from all the disputes and conspiracies?

Su Wanwan gently stroked her slightly bulging belly and murmured to herself: "Baby, what should mommy choose?"

Just then, her eyes fell on the car keys on the bedside table, and a bold idea flashed through her mind.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and made a decision. She quickly changed into casual clothes, picked up her keys and some necessities, and quietly opened the door.

The corridor was silent. Su Wanwan tiptoed downstairs, her heart beating like a drum.

Just as she was about to reach the gate, she suddenly heard a voice behind her: "Wanwan, where are you going?"

Su Wanwan froze in place, turned around, and saw Huo Yanshen standing at the stairs, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
