From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 101: Provoking Undercurrents: Breaking the Conspiracy

Wen Nuan slumped in the car, the contents of the folder flashing through her mind - Mo Han actually participated in several key decisions of the business alliance, and these decisions had a huge impact on the company where Wen Nuan worked.

Could it be that Mo Han has been using her all along?

Use her identity to gain benefits in the business alliance?

Impossible, Mo Han wouldn't do that...

"Mrs. Mo, are you okay?" Secretary Wang's concerned voice brought Wen Nuan back to reality.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She couldn't be defeated by this information, she had to find out the truth.

After returning home, Wen Nuan immediately began to investigate. She found that the so-called "evidence" was all forged, and the source of these rumors was Secretary Wang!

The next day, the atmosphere at the business alliance meeting was extremely tense.

Mr. Liu was the first to speak out: "Mrs. Mo, I heard that you were sent by the Mo family to disrupt our alliance. Is this true?"

The other members also echoed and pointed fingers at Wen Nuan.

Wen Nuan sneered and looked around at everyone, her eyes sharp as a knife. "Everyone, I know you all believed the rumors and think I'm a pawn sent by the Mo family. But I can tell you clearly that this is a complete slander! Someone is deliberately trying to sow discord!"

"Who is it? Do you have any evidence?" President Zhang asked with a hint of subtle sarcasm in his tone.

Wen Nuan ignored Chairman Zhang's questioning and walked directly to Secretary Wang, throwing a document in her face: "Secretary Wang, what else do you have to say? This is all evidence of your spreading rumors!"

Secretary Wang's face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.

The contents of the document were emails between her and her competitors, clearly recording how she spread rumors and sowed discord.

Everyone was in an uproar and blamed Secretary Wang.

"I...I..." Secretary Wang wanted to explain but was interrupted by President Zhang.

"That's enough!" Chairman Zhang's face turned pale and he glared at Secretary Wang fiercely. "You're fired!"

Secretary Wang left the meeting room in a daze.

Wen Nuan looked at her embarrassed back, a sneer on her lips. She had won this battle.

At this moment, Consultant Sun slowly spoke: "Mrs. Mo, since the misunderstanding has been resolved..." He paused and looked at Wen Nuan meaningfully, "I think you don't need to continue investigating..."

Consultant Sun's greasy voice echoed in the conference room like a lingering haze.

"Mrs. Mo, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I think you don't need to continue investigating. After all, family disgrace should not be made public. We should just handle the affairs within the alliance ourselves." He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a shrewd calculation flashed behind the lenses.

How could Wen Nuan not understand what he meant?

This old fox wants to take advantage of the opportunity to muddy the waters so that he can profit from it!

She sneered, "Advisor Sun, you're saying that so lightly. Family disgrace shouldn't be made public? Then who was it that threw dirty water on me before? If I hadn't investigated the truth, I'd probably have been labeled a spy for the Mo family by now, right?"

Consultant Sun's face froze, and he coughed twice, "Madam Mo, you're too kind. I just..."

"I just want to keep things quiet, right?" Wen Nuan interrupted him bluntly. "But some things can't be solved by just keeping things quiet. The conflicts within the alliance must be thoroughly resolved to avoid similar problems in the future."

"You..." Consultant Sun was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute.

Wen Nuan ignored him and turned to look at Investor Zhao who had remained silent.

She explained her findings and analysis in detail and pointed out several key problems within the alliance.

Investor Zhao listened very carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.

"Mrs. Mo's analysis makes sense," Investor Zhao finally spoke. His voice was steady and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority. "I think we should seriously consider her suggestions."

Investor Zhao's statement instantly improved Wen Nuan's status in the alliance.

The other members also began to look at her again and no longer treated her as a pawn to be manipulated.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan received a strange call.

"Mrs. Mo, hello. I'm the person in charge of Star Cruises. We sincerely invite you to attend our business gathering tomorrow night..."

Wen Nuan held the phone with a deep look in her eyes.

A luxurious cruise ship, clinking glasses, and undercurrents...

She smiled slightly, "I accept the invitation."

"Then, see you at the dock tomorrow night at 8 o'clock." The other party's voice was low and magnetic, with a subtle hint of...

Danger.

The bright lights are sprinkled on the sea, reflecting the luxurious figure of the "Star" cruise ship.

Wen Nuan was dressed in an elegant evening gown, moving among the beautiful women, exuding confidence in her every move.

She skillfully dealt with all parties, from Chairman Zhang of the Business Alliance to the cautious investor Zhao, to some seemingly insignificant minor characters, maintaining just the right amount of enthusiasm and distance.

A glass of champagne, a few pleasantries, and some seemingly casual conversations allowed her to capture more information about the inside story of project allocation, especially the private actions of Consultant Sun and General Manager Liu, as well as their secret connections with competitors.

In the corner, a pair of deep eyes always watched Wen Nuan's every move.

Mo Han was dressed in a black suit, like a king in the night. His eyes were full of admiration. Seeing Wen Nuan handling the situation with ease, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He walked quietly to Wen Nuan and gently took her hand. Wen Nuan's hand trembled slightly and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

Mo Han whispered in her ear: "Well done, my little fox." Her warm heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a warm current surged through her body.

With Mo Han's encouragement, Wen Nuan became more calm and confident.

She calmly guided the conversation, causing Mr. Liu and Consultant Sun to inadvertently reveal more information, and even vaguely revealed evidence of their collusion with competitors.

However, just as she was about to investigate further, a figure blocked her way.

"Mrs. Mo, I didn't expect to meet you here." Secretary Wang, the former secretary whose conspiracy was exposed by her, now had a strange smile on her face. "Long time no see." There was a resentful glint in her eyes, which set off alarm bells in Wen Nuan's heart.

"Yeah, long time no see." Wen Nuan smiled faintly, and her fingers holding the champagne glass tightened slightly.

Secretary Wang leaned closer to her and said in a low voice, "Do you think you've won? The fun has only just begun..."

Her voice suddenly stopped, and a cold smile spread across the corners of her mouth...

As soon as Secretary Wang finished speaking, the melodious music stopped abruptly, replaced by a shrill alarm.

The lights on the cruise ship flickered, the crowd began to stir, and a sense of unease spread in the air.

"What's going on?" someone exclaimed.

"It seems...the cruise ship is out of control!"

Panic quickly spread among the crowd, people began to flee in all directions, and the scene was in chaos.

Wen Nuan steadied herself, glanced at the panicked crowd around her, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

This is by no means a simple accident!

At this moment, a figure rushed out from the crowd, grabbed Wen Nuan's wrist and pulled her to a relatively safe place.

"Mrs. Mo, be careful!" It was Mo Han.

"Mo Han, what's going on?" Wen Nuan asked anxiously.

Mo Han's face was solemn. "Someone has deliberately destroyed the cruise ship's control system. Now the cruise ship is deviating from its course. We must find a way to escape as soon as possible."

"Who is it? Why do you do this?" Wen Nuan was full of doubts.

Mo Han's gaze fell on a sneaky figure not far away. "It seems that our enemy is more cunning than we imagined."

Wen Nuan followed Mo Han's gaze and saw Secretary Wang hiding in the crowd with a sinister smile on his face.

She held something like a remote control in her hand, pressed the last button, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

"It's her!" Wen Nuan gritted her teeth and said, "She's the one who did it!"

Mo Han held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, "Don't worry, I will protect you."

At this moment, the cruise ship shook violently and made a deafening noise.

Seawater began to pour into the cabin, and screams of panic rang out one after another.

"We must leave here immediately!" Mo Han pulled Wen Nuan and ran towards the escape passage.

However, the escape route was blocked, and a group of men in black armed with weapons blocked their way.

"Who are you?" Mo Han asked sternly.

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn't have offended." The leading man in black sneered, "Tonight is the day you die!"

Mo Han protected Wen Nuan behind him, and swept his eyes across the crowd fiercely, "If you want to touch her, you have to get past me first!"

A fierce fight then broke out. Mo Han was agile and fought against many men in black alone, forcing them to retreat step by step.

However, the number of men in black was too large, and Mo Han gradually felt overwhelmed.

Just then, a familiar voice came, "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw General Manager Liu and Consultant Sun walking over with a group of people.

"Mr. Liu, Consultant Sun, what do you mean?" Wen Nuan asked coldly.

Mr. Liu said with a forced smile, "Mrs. Mo, we just want you to go to a safe place to rest."

Advisor Sun added grimly, "After all, this cruise ship is going to sink soon."

Wen Nuan's heart sank. It seemed that this was an elaborate trap.

"Mrs. Mo, please come in." Mr. Liu made a "please" gesture, and his tone carried a hint of majesty that could not be refused.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, her eyes determined, "I want to see what tricks you guys are up to."

She followed Mr. Liu and Consultant Sun to the other end of the cruise ship.

"Oh, Madam Mo, I forgot to tell you," Consultant Sun suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wen Nuan, a cold smile on his face. "This banquet is jointly hosted by us and your competitor, the Xingchen Group."

My warm heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Star Group...

Secretary Wang...

All of this is a trap!

She was tricked!

"I see..." Wen Nuan whispered, her tone full of helplessness and anger.

"It's too late to realize it now." Mr. Liu sneered.

They came to the top floor of the cruise ship, a luxurious banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, the lights were bright, people were well-dressed, and the wine was flowing.

A man was sitting in the main seat, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, looking at her with interest.

"Mrs. Mo, welcome." The man raised his glass and smiled slightly. "I've heard a lot about you."

Wen Nuan looked at him, her heart full of doubts and vigilance.

She had never seen this man before.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The man put down his glass, stood up and walked over to her.

"My last name is Lin," he extended his hand and introduced himself, "Chairman of Xingchen Group, Lin Xingchen."

Wen Nuan looked at his hand but didn't reach out to shake it.

"Mr. Lin," she said coldly, "what do you mean?"

Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "It's nothing special. I just want to ask Madam Mo to cooperate with us."

"Cooperation?" Wen Nuan sneered, "Do you think I will cooperate with you?"

"Why not?" Lin Xingchen asked, "We have a common enemy."

"Who?" Wen Nuan asked.

"Mo Han." Lin Xingchen said word by word.
