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

"Wanwan, are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked with concern, hugging his wife in his arms.

Su Wanwan leaned on her husband's strong chest, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat, and said softly: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how to deal with it next."

Huo Yanshen gently stroked her back and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'm here. We will face it together."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He frowned, glanced at the caller ID, and quickly picked up the call.

"What? Explain yourself clearly!" Huo Yanshen's voice suddenly increased and his expression became serious.

Su Wanwan noticed her husband's abnormality and suddenly felt a little uneasy. She stared at Huo Yanshen's expression, waiting for him to end the call.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yan took a deep breath and turned to Su Wanwan: "Assistant Lin called just now and said that the company was suddenly hit by a wave of malicious short selling. The stock price fell by 15% in just half an hour and is still falling."

Su Wanwan took a breath. Although she was inexperienced, she knew what this meant. If it could not be contained in time, the Huo Group might suffer huge losses.

"Who is behind this?" Su Wanwan asked anxiously.

Huo Yanshen shook his head: "It's not clear yet. But what is certain is that this is definitely not a coincidence. It is very likely that someone took advantage of the time when we were dealing with the Lu Wei incident to secretly attack us."

Su Wanwan's heart trembled. She recalled some scattered information she had investigated before, and suddenly had a bold guess: "Could it be Cheng Yuan?"

Huo Yanshen's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded, "It's very likely. This old fox has been eyeing us covetously. Now is the perfect time to launch a surprise attack while we are still unstable."

"Then what should we do?" Su Wanwan asked, with a determined light in her eyes.

Huo Yanshen pondered for a moment and made a quick decision: "I will immediately call a meeting of the company's top management and contact several important partners and investors to stabilize the morale of the troops. Wanwan, you stay at home and keep a low profile. If any reporters come to ask, just say that we are doing our best to deal with it. I believe that this storm will be calmed down soon."

Su Wanwan nodded, but then asked again: "Is there really nothing I can do?"

Huo Yanshen said softly: "You have done very well. The most important thing now is to protect yourself and your children. This storm came quickly, but I believe it will also go away quickly. When the storm passes, we can make long-term plans."

Watching her husband's resolute back as he hurried away, Su Wanwan felt mixed emotions. She understood that Huo Yanshen was trying to protect her, but at the same time she felt a little powerless. She didn't want to be just a protected vase, she wanted to be her husband's right-hand man and face this storm together.

Just then, her cell phone rang. It was her best friend Zhang Jiaying calling.

"Wanwan, are you okay? There are rumors out there that the Huo Group has suffered a heavy blow and its stock price has plummeted. What's going on?" Zhang Jiaying's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su Wanwan calmly replied: "Jiaying, don't worry. Things are indeed a bit tricky, but we are doing our best to deal with it. The most important thing now is not to be confused by rumors."

Zhang Jiaying heard the firmness in her friend's voice and felt relieved: "That's good. By the way, I just received a message, I don't know if it can help you."

Su Wanwan perked up: "What news?"

"I heard that recently a company called 'Vision Investment' has been frantically buying up shares of the Huo Group. Moreover, this company seems to have some connection with Cheng Yuan." Zhang Jiaying said in a low voice.

Su Wanwan's heart moved. This information might be the key to turning the situation around. She hurriedly asked, "Are you sure this news is reliable?"

Zhang Jiaying answered confidently: "Although it needs further verification, the source of the news is reliable. One of my colleagues just got the inside information from a friend at the stock exchange."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and thought quickly about the countermeasures: "Jiaying, thank you. This news is very important. I will go tell Yan Shen now."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan immediately sent an encrypted message to Huo Yanshen, telling him the clues provided by Zhang Jiaying.

Not long after, Huo Yanshen replied: "Received. Verifying. You did a good job, Wanwan. Keep in touch."

Seeing her husband's reply, Su Wanwan felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that she was not powerless. Even if she could not go to the front line in person, she could still help her husband in her own way.

As night fell, the atmosphere in the Huo family became more and more solemn. Su Wanwan was restless, constantly refreshing the financial news and paying attention to the stock price trend of the Huo Group.

Finally, at around ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Yanshen returned home tired but with a determined look in his eyes.

"Yan Shen, what's the situation?" Su Wanwan hurriedly went up to him and handed him a cup of warm water.

Huo Yanshen took the cup of water, drank it all, and then hugged his wife in his arms: "Thanks to the clues you provided, we found Cheng Yuan's handle. Now, the storm has subsided and the stock price has begun to rise."

Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again: "Cheng Yuan gave up so easily?"

Huo Yanshen smiled faintly: "Of course not. This is just the beginning. However, at least we survived this round of attacks. Next, we must be more cautious."

Su Wanwan nodded, and suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "What about the Lu family? Did they respond?"

Huo Yanshen's expression turned serious: "Not yet. But I have a feeling that they will take action soon. We must be prepared."

Su Wanwan held her husband's hand and said firmly: "We will face it together. No matter what happens, I will stand by you."

Huo Yanshen glanced at his wife, his eyes full of love and admiration: "It's great to have you, Wanwan."

The two smiled at each other, and on this stormy night, their hearts were more closely connected.
