From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 107 Dinner Party Storm: The Dawn of the Truth

Mo Han's cold gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on Wen Nuan, with a hint of barely perceptible worry.

He said nothing, but his powerful aura made everyone present feel oppressed.

Public Relations Officer Zheng's face was pale and her palms were sweating. She understood the importance of this dinner to the Mo family's business. Now that such a thing had happened, she felt like she was about to collapse.

When Chef Chen saw Mo Han appear, he seemed to have found a backer. He said with a sad face, "Young Master Mo, Madam Mo is wronging me! I have no idea what those ingredients are! I have been a chef for so many years, and this has never happened before..."

Li Mingyuan immediately echoed, "Yes, Mr. Mo, Wen Nuan must have done it on purpose! She just can't stand seeing the Mo family doing well!"

Wen Nuan remained unusually calm in the face of their accusations.

She calmly took out a document from her bag and handed it to Mo Han: "Mo Han, this is some information I investigated before. It may be able to prove something."

Mo Han took the document, glanced through it quickly, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

The file records Chef Chen’s recent large spending records and his frequent contacts with an unfamiliar number.

Although these evidences cannot directly prove that Chef Chen was involved in framing the Mo family, they are enough to make him feel guilty.

When Chef Chen saw the documents in Mo Han's hand, his face turned pale instantly, his eyes flickered, and he stammered and couldn't speak.

He subconsciously touched the note in his pocket, and his palms became even more clammy.

"Master Chen, do you have anything else to say?" Wen Nuan's voice was cold and firm, like a sharp blade piercing Chef Chen's heart.

Beads of sweat oozed from Chef Chen's forehead. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but found that he could not say anything.

Just then, a hotel security guard hurried over and whispered a few words in Mo Han's ear.

Mo Han's expression darkened. He glared at Chef Chen, his tone icy as hell. "Chef Chen, it seems you still have a lot to explain." He paused, his gaze sharp. "Can you explain your sneaky behavior in the surveillance footage?"

Chef Chen's legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His lips trembled, but no sound came out.

Li Mingyuan also felt the seriousness of the matter. She subconsciously took a step back, wanting to stay away from the center of the storm that was about to break out.

"I..." Chef Chen had just opened his mouth when the door to the banquet hall was suddenly pushed open. Security guard Zhou walked in with two policemen and walked straight towards Chef Chen...

Zhou Baoan walked up to Chef Chen and showed him handcuffs: "Chef Chen, we have received a report that you are suspected of food safety crimes. Please come with us." Chef Chen's face turned pale. He knew that everything was over.

He collapsed on the ground and let the police handcuff him.

Seeing this, Li Mingyuan's face turned pale. She wanted to sneak away, but was stopped by the sharp-eyed Zhou Baoan: "Ms. Li, please cooperate with our investigation. We need your help to understand some of the circumstances."

Li Mingyuan was suddenly panicked. She stammered to explain: "I... I don't know... I just... I just came to the dinner party..." But her pale face and flickering eyes revealed her guilty conscience.

Seeing this, several socialites kept their distance from Li Mingyuan, fearing that they would be implicated.

They used to follow Li Mingyuan in mocking Wen Nuan, but now they avoid her like the plague.

Wen Nuan looked at this scene without feeling the slightest bit proud. Her gaze remained calm, as if all this was within her expectations.

She knew that this was just the beginning and the real mastermind had not yet surfaced.

She raised her wine glass gracefully and took a sip, but her eyes became more profound.

In the banquet hall, other business people were originally on the sidelines about the Mo family's business, but when they saw Wen Nuan so calm and composed, they developed a new interest in her.

They began to approach Wen Nuan and talk to her, wanting to learn more about the Mo family's business.

Wen Nuan skillfully allayed their suspicions and even attracted some new partners.

Wu Jiabin was originally skeptical about the Mo family business, but after seeing Wen Nuan's performance, he changed his mind.

He walked up to Wen Nuan and extended his hand: "Miss Wen, I admire your generosity. I believe that under your leadership, the Mo family enterprise will surely become even more glorious."

Wen Nuan smiled and shook hands with him, with a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes.

At this moment, Public Relations Officer Zheng hurriedly walked to Wen Nuan and whispered in her ear, "Miss Wen, I just received the news..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by a sudden noise.

Everyone turned to look at the door. A figure stumbled in, shouting, "Young Master Mo! This is bad! Something happened!"

The person who broke into the banquet hall was Mo Han's assistant. His face was pale and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that he had experienced an intense run.

"Mr. Mo! Someone...someone has tampered with our bidding documents!" He shouted breathlessly, his voice trembling, which seemed particularly abrupt in the already chaotic banquet hall.

This sudden change made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn. Some guests who had originally planned to continue chatting with Wen Nuan stopped and looked at Mo Han, their eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

Wen Nuan frowned slightly, she felt a sense of conspiracy spreading.

She turned to look at Wu Jiabin, her eyes full of confidence: "Mr. Wu, wait a moment, I will deal with this matter, and then we will continue." Wu Jiabin looked at her calm appearance, and his appreciation for her increased in his heart. He nodded to show his understanding.

Wen Nuan walked over to Mo Han and whispered, "What's going on?" Mo Han briefly repeated the news his assistant had brought him, his face dark and gloomy. "Someone has tampered with our bidding documents. If we don't clarify this in time, we'll lose this important opportunity for cooperation."

Her warm eyes were sharp as a knife as she quickly analyzed the current situation.

She knew that this was no accident and that someone must have been deliberately framing the Mo family.

And everything that happened tonight was probably to cover up this bigger conspiracy.

She took a deep breath, turned to look at everyone, and said in a calm and powerful tone: "Everyone, someone deliberately wanted to destroy the reputation of the Mo family with what happened tonight, but I can assure you that the Mo family is upright and we will not be afraid of any challenge."

Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally landed on a corner where a well-dressed man sat. It was the Mo family's rival, Cheng Tianyu, the president of Cheng Group.

Cheng Tianyu's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid Wen Nuan's gaze, but found that he could not escape her sharp eyes at all.

Wen Nuan curled up the corner of her mouth in a sneer. She walked up to Cheng Tianyu, her tone as cold as frost: "Mr. Cheng, long time no see." Cheng Tianyu forced himself to remain calm: "Miss Wen, how are you?" Wen Nuan's eyes were like X-rays, as if she could see through all his disguises: "Mr. Cheng, some things cannot be hidden. I hope you can take care of yourself." After Wen Nuan's voice fell, the banquet hall was silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Cheng Tianyu's response.

Cheng Tianyu's face turned pale and blue. He didn't expect Wen Nuan to embarrass him in public.

He clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly, "Miss Wen, I don't know what you are talking about. I am just here for the dinner. It has nothing to do with your Mo family's affairs."

Wen Nuan chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in her smile: "Mr. Cheng, do you really think you can stay out of this? Do you think that what you did can really be concealed from the world?" She paused, and her tone suddenly became sharp, "I'm giving you a chance. Turn yourself in now, and perhaps you can get leniency. Otherwise, once the evidence is conclusive, you will face severe punishment from the law!"

Wen Nuan's words shocked everyone.

They didn't expect Wen Nuan to be so bold as to put pressure on Cheng Tianyu in public.

What surprised them even more was that Wen Nuan did not reveal the truth directly, but gave the other party a chance to surrender first.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Cheng Tianyu's forehead. He felt as if he was stripped naked and standing in front of everyone, with all his secrets exposed.

He gritted his teeth and said forcefully, "Miss Wen, you are framing me! I don't even know what you are talking about!"

Wen Nuan ignored his sophistry and turned to look at Mo Han, her eyes full of confidence: "Mo Han, show me the evidence." Mo Han nodded, took a folder from his assistant, opened it, and showed the documents inside to everyone one by one.

These documents are the evidence that Cheng Tianyu tampered with the Mo family's bidding documents.

The evidence was irrefutable and Cheng Tianyu could no longer deny it.

His face turned pale in an instant and his body began to tremble slightly.

There was an uproar in the banquet hall, and everyone started talking.

They didn't expect that Cheng Tianyu would actually do such a thing.

What impressed them even more was that Wen Nuan was able to find evidence so quickly and bring Cheng Tianyu to justice.

At this moment, Cheng Tianyu suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter filled with despair and madness. "Hahahaha... Even if you have evidence, so what? Even if I, Cheng Tianyu, am ruined, I will drag your Mo family down with me!" He suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and rushed towards Mo Han...

"Mo Han, be careful!" Wen Nuan exclaimed, and suddenly pushed Mo Han away...

A shrill scream broke the silence of the banquet hall.

"what--"
