From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 262: The Battle for the Treasure: The Mo Family is in Turbulence

The Mo family's ancestral home was shrouded in darkness, and the lights were bright, but they could not cover up the tense atmosphere in the air.

The originally quiet courtyard was now filled with many furtive figures. They hid under the shadows of trees and behind corners of walls, like a group of cheetahs waiting for an opportunity, greedily spying on this ancient mansion.

Wen Nuan stood by the window, her eyes as sharp as torches, taking in all of this.

Those sneaky figures made her alarm bells ring.

"It seems that the news spreads faster than we thought." Her tone was cold, with a barely perceptible chill.

Mo Han walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I've made arrangements." He had already mobilized all the loyal security personnel to surround the ancestral home.

The peepers found it difficult to get close and could only wander in the distance, growling unwillingly.

They wandered in the darkness like a group of driven wild beasts, waiting for the next opportunity.

Wen Nuan strengthened the security measures of the ancestral home, arranged more guards, and installed surveillance equipment in key locations.

She wanted to let those people with bad intentions know that the Mo family was not so easy to be conquered.

Just then, Mo Han's cell phone suddenly rang.

He answered the phone, his expression suddenly changed, and after abruptly hanging up the phone, he turned to Wen Nuan and said, "Second uncle...he..."

"...He actually colluded with treasure appraiser Lin and wanted to hold a family meeting to re-evaluate the value of the ancestral treasure!" Mo Han's tone was full of disbelief and anger.

A cold light flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes. She had expected that Uncle Mo would not give up, but she did not expect him to be so blatant.

At the family meeting, Mo Erbo looked hypocritical and spoke passionately about "the interests of the family". In fact, he implied that the value of the treasure was underestimated and should be re-evaluated for better development and utilization. His intentions were clear to everyone.

He even invited treasure appraiser Lin, who produced the so-called "latest evaluation report", claiming that the market value of the treasure far exceeded the previous estimate, enough to allow the Mo family to move to a higher level.

These words undoubtedly moved the hearts of all the tribesmen present.

Wen Nuan sneered, stood up, and stared at Treasure Appraiser Lin with a piercing gaze. "Mr. Lin, may I ask where the data for this report comes from? And what is your evaluation method? As far as I know, your so-called 'latest' evaluation method was proven to have huge flaws by the industry as early as ten years ago. And you're using it now to deceive people. What's your intention?"

Treasure appraiser Lin's face changed and he stammered, unable to speak.

Wen Nuan pressed on, "I have evidence that proves you accepted bribes from the Sun Group and deliberately inflated the value of the treasure in order to disrupt the Mo family's internal unity so they could take advantage of the situation!"

She threw the information she had prepared in advance on the table. The evidence was conclusive and could not be denied.

Treasure appraiser Lin's face suddenly turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead.

Uncle Mo was also panicked. He didn't expect that Wen Nuan actually had such solid evidence.

He tried to remain calm and change the subject, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Wen Nuan.

"Uncle Er, you are so anxious to re-evaluate the treasure. Could it be that you have reached some agreement with the Sun Group?" Wen Nuan's sharp words were like a sharp knife, piercing Uncle Mo's sore spot.

His face turned pale, but he was unable to refute.

Seeing that the conspiracy of Mo Erbo and Treasure Appraiser Lin was exposed, the atmosphere in the family meeting suddenly became tense.

The elder of the Wang family slowly spoke...

"It's warm..."

The Wang family elder slowly spoke, "Wen Nuan, I know you're loyal to the family, but this matter is of great importance, so we must handle it with caution. Although Second Uncle's methods are a bit radical, his starting point is also for the best of the family. How about this, we follow Second Uncle's plan, re-evaluate the value of the treasure, and then make a decision."

The words of the Wang family elders undoubtedly gave Mo Erbo a reassurance, but also put Wen Nuan in a difficult situation.

She didn't expect that even if the evidence was conclusive, the elders of the Wang family would still favor Uncle Mo.

Is it true that years of family affection are not as good as the temptation of immediate interests?

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said calmly, "Since the elders insist, I have no choice but to respect your decision. However, I have a suggestion that may be able to have the best of both worlds."

She paused and continued, "We can invite several highly respected antique appraisers and business elites from various fields to form an expert panel to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the treasure. This will ensure the objectivity and fairness of the evaluation results and allow family members to understand the true value of the treasure."

This proposal seems like a compromise, but it actually contains hidden secrets.

Wen Nuan knew that true experts would never be bribed by Mo Erbo, and business elites from different fields could also see through Mo Erbo's conspiracy.

Her proposal was supported by several young tribesmen, who were also dissatisfied with Mo Erbo's approach and believed that the treasure should be handled in a more fair manner.

The elders of the Wang family hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed to Wen Nuan's plan.

Mo Erbo's face was gloomy, but he was helpless.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan returned to the room. Mo Han immediately came up to her and asked with concern, "How is it? Is everything going well?"

Wen Nuan shook her head and told Mo Han what happened in the meeting.

After hearing this, Mo Han's eyes flashed with anger, "This old stubborn man! How could he be so confused!"

Wen Nuan smiled, "Don't worry, everything is under my control." A sly glint flashed in her eyes, "The fun has just begun."

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Wen Nuan opened the door and saw Private Detective Zhao standing outside with a panicked look on his face. "Mrs. Mo, this is bad..."

Private Detective Zhao reported breathlessly: "Mrs. Mo, people from the Sun Group sneaked into the company's server room!" Wen Nuan's eyes were stern, but a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "As expected, I knew he would lose his patience." She turned to Mo Han and said, "It seems that our 'catch the turtle in the jar' plan has to be closed early." A hint of admiration flashed in Mo Han's eyes, and he held Wen Nuan's hand tightly.

It turned out that Wen Nuan had long anticipated that the Sun Group would take advantage of the chaos to steal the Mo family's business secrets.

She arranged for network security experts in advance, set up "honeypot" traps in the server room, and secretly monitored everything.

The hackers sent by the Sun Group thought they had invaded the system without anyone noticing, but they didn't know that their every move was under Wen Nuan's control.

What they stole were not genuine confidential documents, but some carefully fabricated false information.

At the same time, the security personnel mobilized by Mo Han have surrounded the server room and captured all the hackers of the Sun Group.

The Sun Group was caught red-handed and had no way to defend themselves. This operation was a complete failure, and instead exposed their evil ambitions and ruined their reputation in the business world.

However, while Wen Nuan and Mo Han were celebrating their victory, Uncle Mo Er was not discouraged.

He hid in the study, a vicious smile on his gloomy face.

He dialed a mysterious number and whispered, "The plan has failed. We need to start Plan B..." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Understood, I'll arrange it..." Mo Erbo hung up the phone, his eyes flashing with greed, and muttered to himself, "Wen Nuan, do you think you can stop me like this? The fun has just begun..."

Wen Nuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling city night scene outside the window, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

Suddenly, her phone on the table vibrated, and an anonymous text message suddenly appeared on the screen: "You'd better be careful, there are some things you can't have..." Wen Nuan's face changed, and she turned around and looked at Mo Han...
