From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 115 The Beginning of Trust: The Beginning of Family Unity

The broken pieces of the phone flashed coldly under the light, just like Mo Han's mood at the moment.

Wen Nuan held his hand tightly, feeling the coldness and trembling in his palm.

She didn't know the content of the call, but her intuition told her that the matter was far more serious than she had imagined.

Reporter Su was like a shark that smelled blood, biting the Mo family tightly.

She kept calling the Mo family's old house, speaking in an arrogant tone, claiming that she had mastered the Mo family's secrets and would make everything public if no reasonable explanation was given.

Butler Liu was extremely anxious, and Uncle Mo's face turned ashen, and he cast a suspicious look at Wen Nuan again.

"I was told this woman came from an unknown background, there must be something fishy about her!" Uncle Mo pointed at Wen Nuan and said sharply, "Ever since she entered the Mo family, strange things have been happening!"

Wen Nuan met Uncle Mo's gaze calmly without dodging at all.

She knew that no matter how much she explained now, it would be useless. Only by finding the real leaker could she clear herself of suspicion.

Mo Han glanced at Uncle Mo coldly, his tone unquestionable: "Uncle Mo, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. The most urgent task is to stop reporter Su from writing nonsense."

He turned to Detective Lin and ordered, "Continue to track down Hacker Wang's whereabouts. Make sure to find him as soon as possible."

At the same time, Mo Han used his family's influence to contact the senior management of the media where reporter Su worked.

His tone was icy, with an unyielding authority: "If you dare to publish any false reports, I guarantee that you will face severe punishment from the law."

The senior management was intimidated by Mo Han's aura and quickly promised to restrain reporter Su's behavior.

After receiving the warning from his superiors, although reporter Su was unwilling to accept it, he did not dare to act rashly again.

Just then, Detective Lin made a new discovery.

"Mr. Mo, I have found the whereabouts of hacker Wang! He..." Detective Lin was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door before he could finish his words.

Butler Liu ran in in a panic: "Mr. Mo, something bad has happened! In the garden of the old house..." He hesitated, wanting to say something but stopped.

Butler Liu finally uttered his panicked words in full: "A body was dug up in the garden of the old house!"

This news was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.

Mo Han's face suddenly changed. He pushed away Butler Liu who was blocking his way and rushed out with big strides.

Wen Nuan and the others followed closely behind, their hearts beating violently in their chests.

The garden was already packed with servants.

In the middle of the flower bed, a corpse was covered with white cloth, and blood was faintly visible on it.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of earth, which was nauseating.

Mo Han squatted down and pulled away the white cloth.

A familiar face appeared - Hacker Wang!

His eyes were wide open, and there was still an expression of fear on his face.

"This..." Uncle Mo took a breath and his face turned pale.

He never imagined that hacker Wang would die in the garden of the Mo family's old house.

Detective Lin quickly launched an investigation and initially determined that hacker Wang was silenced.

This discovery made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

As night fell, the Mo family's old house was shrouded in a haze.

Wen Nuan stood in the garden, looking at the busy servants and Mo Han with a serious expression, feeling mixed emotions.

Mo Han walked to Wen Nuan, gently put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's warm breath, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

"Hmph," Uncle Mo snorted coldly and walked over to say, "Although it now seems that Miss Wen Nuan is not the leaker, I still have reservations about the way she led the investigation before."

Wen Nuan turned to look at Uncle Mo and was about to explain, but he interrupted her: "Don't rush to explain." Uncle Mo took out a document from his pocket, "I have some new evidence here..."

He paused, his eyes falling on the notebook in Wen Nuan's hands: "Perhaps, we need to re-examine the entire incident."

Uncle Mo took the notebook from Wen Nuan's hand suspiciously, and flipped through the pages one by one, reading the densely packed records and analysis on it.

Wen Nuan calmly and clearly explained her previous investigative ideas and methods. From the initial suspicion to the final elimination, each step was well-reasoned and convincing.

She even produced some evidence she had collected previously to further support her judgment.

At first, Uncle Mo raised questions from time to time, but as Wen Nuan's explanation became more and more in-depth, his expression gradually changed from suspicion to surprise. In the end, he had to admit that although Wen Nuan's investigation method was unconventional, it was very effective.

"I was wrong about you." Uncle Mo sighed and returned the notebook to Wen Nuan. "Your investigation was indeed very thorough, more comprehensive than I expected."

Wen Nuan smiled slightly and said nothing more.

Mo Han looked at his wife's confident and calm appearance, his eyes full of admiration.

In order to help Wen Nuan better understand the Mo family, Mo Han mobilized his family power and gave her some detailed information about the Mo family history.

These materials record the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of several generations of the Mo family, as well as some unknown family secrets.

Wen Nuan studied the materials carefully, her heart filled with gratitude.

She understood that Mo Han was showing her the greatest trust and helping her better integrate into the Mo family.

Just then, Detective Lin's cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone and his expression instantly became serious.

"What did you say? Reporter Su... there is another source?" Detective Lin's voice was low and rapid, with a hint of disbelief.

He hung up the phone, looked at Mo Han and Wen Nuan, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Mo Han noticed Detective Lin's strange behavior and asked in a deep voice.

Detective Lin took a deep breath and said slowly, "I just received news that reporter Su...she seems to have another source of information, and..." He paused, his eyes falling on Wen Nuan, "This source of information...seems to be related to Miss Wen Nuan."

Wen Nuan suddenly raised her head, a hint of shock and confusion flashing in her eyes.

"Is it related to me?" Detective Lin's words were like a stone, causing ripples on the calm surface of a lake.

My warm heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over me.

She tried hard to recall her words and actions, but could not find any clues that might reveal the secret.

Mo Han's face also turned gloomy. He held the warm hand tightly, giving her silent comfort.

"Detective Lin, tell me what you found." His voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Detective Lin gathered his thoughts and spoke slowly, "I tracked Reporter Su's communication history and discovered she's been frequently contacting an unfamiliar number. The number is encrypted, making it difficult to trace the specific user. However, through some technical means, I was able to locate the number's registration information. The registered name is... 'Mother Wu.'"

"Auntie Wu?" Wen Nuan and Mo Han exclaimed in unison.

Wu Ma is a servant in the Mo family's old house. She has worked in the Mo family for more than ten years and has always been loyal and trusted by the Mo family.

"Impossible!" Uncle Mo categorically rejected it. "Auntie Wu has been in our Mo family for so many years, she would never do such a thing!"

"I don't believe that Aunt Wu would betray the Mo family." Wen Nuan also shook her head. She had always had a good impression of Aunt Wu. The kind old woman always cared about her and was very considerate.

However, the facts were before their eyes and they had no choice but to believe it.

Detective Lin retrieved the recording of the phone call between reporter Su and "Auntie Wu". In the recording, "Auntie Wu" described in detail some internal conditions of the Mo family, even including some secrets known only to core members.

"This..." Uncle Mo was stunned. He couldn't believe his ears. The always loyal Aunt Wu actually betrayed the Mo family.

Wen Nuan's face turned pale, and she felt waves of chills rising from the soles of her feet.

If Wu Ma was the leaker, then her previous investigation direction was completely wrong.

What’s even more terrifying is that if Wu Ma was really bribed, then how many hidden enemies are there within the Mo family?

A sharp, cold light flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he made a quick decision: "Immediately arrest Wu Ma. I want to interrogate her personally!"

At this moment, Butler Liu rushed in in a panic, his face pale, and he stammered, "Mr. Mo, it's bad! Aunt Wu... Aunt Wu..."

"What happened to Auntie Wu?" Mo Han's heart sank suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his mind.

"Auntie Wu...she's gone!"

Her warm heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she felt a chill running down her spine to the top of her head.

She suddenly remembered that just now in the garden, she seemed to see a familiar figure flash by.

That figure looks very much like...

Wu Ma!

"She must have gone to meet with Reporter Su!" Detective Lin said with certainty.

Mo Han's face was terribly gloomy. He stood up suddenly and walked out with big strides.

"Chase! We must find her!"

Warmth followed closely behind, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

She had a strong premonition that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this...

Suddenly, Wen Nuan's phone vibrated, and a text message from an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen: "If you want to find Aunt Wu, come to the dock warehouse in the old city..." At the end of the text message, there was a strange smiley face symbol.

Wen Nuan suddenly looked up and met Mo Han's eyes. They both saw shock and a hint of...

fear.
