From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 220: Breaking the deadlock: The dawn of new clues

Wen Nuan and Mo Han walked into the Mo family mansion side by side. There was a strange atmosphere in the air.

The servants were whispering to each other, their eyes flickering, and when the two men passed by, they quickly lowered their heads and pretended to be busy.

Wen Nuan keenly noticed that everyone's attitude towards her had subtly changed since the last family meeting.

The respect and enthusiasm of the past have now been replaced by scrutiny and suspicion.

"I heard that Third Uncle has been moving around in the family recently, spreading some rumors that are unfavorable to you." Mo Han held the warm hand tightly, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Wen Nuan smiled faintly: "It's as expected. Although Lin Yue's matter has been temporarily settled, Third Uncle will definitely not let it go."

Sure enough, in the next few days, Uncle Mo began to spread rumors in the family that in order to maintain the status of the young lady of the Mo family, he would do anything to suppress Lin Yue.

Some family members who did not know the truth began to talk about Wen Nuan, and some even questioned her motives to her face.

Wen Nuan was under tremendous pressure, but she did not back down. She knew that only by finding out the truth behind Lin Yue could she completely clear her grievances.

At the same time, Wen Nuan did not give up investigating Lin Yue.

She carefully looked through Lin Yue's social accounts, trying to find clues.

Suddenly, an encrypted private message caught her attention.

Although she couldn't see the content of the private message, Wen Nuan discovered that Lin Yue was in frequent contact with a mysterious person, and that this mysterious person's account did not have any personal information, and his avatar was also pitch black.

Intuition told Wen Nuan that this mysterious man was most likely related to Lin Yue's forged identity.

"Found it!" Wen Nuan shouted excitedly, and she immediately told Mo Han about her discovery.

Mo Han carefully reviewed the chat history, his brow furrowed. "It seems we're one step closer to the truth." He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Help me check this account..."

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

"Come in." Wen Nuan said.

Lawyer Chen walked in and handed a document to Wen Nuan with a serious expression: "Mrs. Mo, Miss Lin's lawyer contacted me. They asked you to provide more evidence to refute Miss Lin's life experience..." Wen Nuan took the document and her eyes were stern.

Lawyer Chen pushed the documents in front of Wen Nuan, his tone formal and cold, "Mrs. Mo, Miss Lin's lawyer has provided new evidence proving she is indeed related to the Mo family. If you can't provide stronger evidence to refute it, I can only follow procedure and lean towards Miss Lin's claim."

Wen Nuan grabbed the document, glanced through it quickly, and sneered, "What kind of evidence is this? A blurry old photo and a birth certificate full of loopholes? Lin Yue's lawyer is really at his wit's end." She looked up suddenly, staring at Lawyer Chen with a sharp gaze, "Lawyer Chen, I hope you can act impartially and not be deceived by this forged evidence!"

Lawyer Chen pushed his glasses up, looking a little displeased. "Mrs. Mo, please be careful with your words. I'm just following legal procedures. If you have objections to the authenticity of the evidence, you may raise them, but please don't question my professionalism."

"Professionalism?" Wen Nuan laughed in anger. "If your professionalism is being deceived by these obvious false evidences, then I really have to doubt your ability!"

Seeing this, Mo Han pulled Wen Nuan into his arms, gently stroked her hair, and comforted her softly: "Wu Nuan, don't be angry, we still have time. I believe in you, and I believe that the truth will eventually come out." Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

After taking a deep breath, she raised her head, her eyes firm. "You're right. We can't lose our composure. The more eager Lin Yue is to produce this false evidence, the more it proves she's guilty." She pushed Mo Han away and walked to the window. Her gaze fell in the direction of Lin Yue's residence in the distance. Her tone was icy. "Since she won't tell the truth, I'll go find her myself!" She turned and picked up her coat, her tone unquestionable. "I'm going out for a while."

Wen Nuan drove straight to Lin Yue's residence, a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city.

The villa is surrounded by tall walls, and several luxury cars are parked at the door, highlighting the luxurious life of the residents.

Wen Nuan sneered. It seemed that Lin Yue had gained a lot of benefits from the Mo family.

She was about to ring the doorbell when a black car suddenly stopped beside her.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing a familiar face - Uncle Mo San.

"Nuan Nuan, my niece-in-law, what are you doing here so late?" Uncle Mo's tone was full of sarcasm and his eyes were full of vigilance.

"I'm here to see Lin Yue." Wen Nuan went straight to the point with a cold tone.

"Oh? You have something to talk to her about?" Uncle Mo pretended to be surprised. "It's so late, I'm afraid it's not convenient. Lin Yue is not feeling well and needs to rest."

"Uncle San, I hope you won't stop me." Wen Nuan stared at Uncle Mo San with sharp eyes. "I know you have been secretly helping Lin Yue, but I advise you not to get involved in this dispute, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

"Are you threatening me?" Uncle Mo's face darkened and his tone became tough. "I am the elder of the Mo family. How dare you, a junior like you, speak to me like that!"

The atmosphere between the two was tense and a quarrel was about to break out.

Just then, another black car came speeding and stopped in front of the two men.

The car door opened and Mo Han walked down with steady steps.

He walked to Wen Nuan, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and glanced at Uncle Mo San with a cold look.

"Uncle San, I think you misunderstood." Mo Han took out a document from his pocket and waved it in front of Uncle Mo San. "This is a letter of authorization signed by Grandpa himself. Wen Nuan has the right to investigate anything related to the family's identity, including Lin Yue."

Mo Sanbo's face changed drastically. He took the document and looked through it carefully. The expression on his face changed from shock to anger, and finally to helplessness.

He knew the significance of this authorization letter, which meant that he could no longer stop the warmth.

"Humph!" Uncle Mo threw the documents to the ground and turned to walk towards his car. "You are so cruel!"

After he got in the car, he slammed the door shut and drove away.

Mo Han picked up the document on the ground, dusted it off, and put it back in his pocket.

He turned to look at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

"Let's go." He took Wen Nuan's hand and walked towards the gate of the villa. "Let's go in."

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.

"Ding Dong--" The doorbell sounded particularly harsh in the quiet night.

The door of the villa slowly opened, and a servant poked his head out. Seeing Wen Nuan and Mo Han, an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

"Mr. Mo, Mrs. Mo..."

"Is Lin Yue here?" Wen Nuan interrupted her in a cold tone.

The servant hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Upstairs."

Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other and walked straight into the villa.

The villa is luxuriously decorated, showing the owner's taste everywhere.

Wen Nuan looked around and her eyes finally fell on the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Let's go." Wen Nuan took the lead and walked towards the stairs, followed closely by Mo Han.

The two walked up the stairs step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Lin Yue's lies.

The corridor on the second floor was quiet, with only the dim light shining on the ground, elongating the figures of the two people.

Wen Nuan walked to a closed door and stopped.

She reached out her hand and gently opened the door...

With a light "click", the door opened a crack.

In the dim room, Lin Yue was sitting in front of the dressing table, applying bright red lipstick in front of the mirror.

When she heard the door open, she turned her head sharply and a trace of panic flashed across her face, but it was quickly concealed.

"Why are you here?" she asked calmly, with a hint of trembling in her tone.

Wen Nuan ignored her disguise and walked straight to her, staring at her with a sharp gaze: "Lin Yue, the game is over."

Lin Yue's eyes flickered, and she pretended to be calm: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Really?" Wen Nuan sneered, walked to the center of the room, and scanned every corner of the room. "Do you think you can hide what you did from the world?"

Her warm gaze fell on a seemingly ordinary decorative painting. She walked forward, reached out and pressed it lightly. The decorative painting suddenly moved to the side, revealing a hidden safe.

Lin Yue's face changed drastically. She stood up suddenly and wanted to stop Wen Nuan, but was grabbed by Mo Han.

"Don't move!" Mo Han's tone was cold, his eyes full of warning.

Wen Nuan ignored Lin Yue's struggle and placed her hand on the combination dial of the safe.

With a light "click," the door of the safe opened a crack...

"Stop!" Lin Yue screamed hysterically, "You can't open it!"

Wen Nuan ignored her shouting and continued turning the combination dial.

"Click, click..." The sound of the cipher dial turning was particularly clear in the silent room, as if knocking on Lin Yue's heart.

Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered, then went out completely, plunging into darkness.

"Ah!" Lin Yue screamed.

"Wu Nuan!" Mo Han shouted anxiously.

In the darkness, there was a rustling sound, as if something was moving.

"Be careful!" Mo Han pulled Wen Nuan into his arms and looked around vigilantly.

With a soft "click", the lights in the room came on again.

However, Lin Yue had disappeared.

Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Where is she?" Wen Nuan asked in a low voice.

Mo Han didn't answer, but walked to the window and looked out.

Outside the window, the night is deep, and only the flashing neon lights in the distance illuminate the prosperity and bustle of the city.

"She ran away." Mo Han's tone was cold, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Wen Nuan walked to the safe and looked at the tiny gap, her heart full of doubts.

"What's in there?" she murmured to herself, reaching out her hand...
