From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 265 Family Trouble Resurfaces: Treasure Troubles Come Again

The servant's face turned pale, and he pointed outside the door tremblingly, "Second... Second Master, he... he brought people here!" Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Uncle Mo walked in with a gloomy face, followed by several burly bodyguards.

He looked around, his eyes fell on Wen Nuan, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"My warm niece-in-law, how are you?"

The atmosphere in the conference room froze instantly. Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Uncle Mo Er had returned with such a fuss.

The Wang family elder was the first to break the silence, demanding sternly, "Second brother, what are you doing? How can a family meeting allow you to be so presumptuous!" Uncle Mo sneered and met the Wang family elder's gaze fearlessly, "Brother, I'm doing this for the good of the family! This woman, she..."

Before Uncle Mo Er could finish, several young family members stood up. One of them pointed at Wen Nuan indignantly and said, "She kept the secret of the treasure for herself and never thought about sharing it with the family! The current glory of our Mo family is built on her selfishness!" Another person echoed, "That's right! She treats us all as fools! We demand that all information about the treasure be made public so that everyone can benefit together!" Their words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The family members began to whisper, and their eyes looked at Wen Nuan with a bit more suspicion and dissatisfaction.

The face of the elder of the Wang family also became uncertain. Although he trusted Wen Nuan, the family’s internal strife broke out again, which made him begin to waver.

Wen Nuan's expression remained unchanged, as she had already expected such a situation.

She spoke calmly: "Everyone, I think you have misunderstood..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by another voice.

"Misunderstanding? I think you're feeling guilty!" Treasure appraiser Lin strode in, holding a document in his hand. "I was commissioned by Mr. Mo to re-appraise the treasure and found that its commercial value far exceeds our previous estimate! But Miss Wen Nuan deliberately concealed this fact!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and looked at Wen Nuan with even more hostility.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and was about to explain when Private Detective Zhao walked in again. He announced with a serious face, "I was hired to investigate and found that Miss Wen Nuan had secret contact with a competitor of Sun's enterprise! She may have leaked the treasure's business secrets!"

The successive "evidences" made the family members completely furious. They all blamed Wen Nuan, and some even demanded that she be expelled from the family.

The elder of the Wang family had a dark face. He looked at Wen Nuan and asked in a deep voice, "Wu Nuan, do you have anything else to say?" Wen Nuan looked around, her eyes firm and cold.

She spoke slowly, her voice clear and powerful: "Of course there is. However, before I say it, I would like to ask you..." She paused, her eyes falling on the young family members, "Do you really believe this so-called 'evidence'?"

She walked up to the young men, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "Do you know who is behind you?" The young men looked at each other with flickering eyes, not daring to look Wen Nuan in the eye.

Wen Nuan sneered, took out a stack of documents from her bag and threw them in front of them.

"This is the result of my investigation. You can see it for yourself."

The document contained the transaction records between Sun's business rivals and these young men, as well as evidence that treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao had been bribed.

The truth came to light, and the family members immediately realized that they were being used by Sun's business rivals!

The young men lowered their heads in shame and admitted their mistakes.

The elders of the Wang family looked at all this with complicated expressions.

He walked up to Wen Nuan and sighed, "Wu Nuan..." He started to speak but was interrupted.

"Wait," Mo Han suddenly said, his eyes sweeping over everyone coldly, "It's not over yet." He walked up to treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao, his eyes sharp, "You two, do you have anything else to say?" The two were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

Mo Han sneered, "Since you don't want to tell me, then I'll tell you for you." He took out his cell phone and dialed a number, "Take them away." As soon as he finished speaking, several men in black rushed in and took away treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao.

The conference room fell silent again.

Mo Han walked to Wen Nuan, held her hand, his eyes gentle but firm, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Wen Nuan held his hand back and gave him a reassuring smile.

The elders of the Wang family looked at the two of them with mixed feelings.

He walked up to Wen Nuan and spoke slowly, "Wu Nuan, I..."

The Wang family elder sighed and patted Wen Nuan on the shoulder. "Child, I know you've been wronged. However, this incident has had such a huge impact, and many in the family... are still feeling uneasy. How about this? You take us to see the treasure. That will put our minds at ease, and everyone else's minds at ease." Wen Nuan understood the Wang family elder's concerns and nodded. "Okay, I'll take you there right away."

Wen Nuan brought the family elders to a hidden basement.

The heavy metal door slowly opened, revealing the heavily guarded scene inside.

The first thing that catches your eye is the criss-crossing laser grid, glowing with a faint blue light, which is daunting.

Next, there are various sensors such as temperature, humidity, vibration, etc., densely distributed around.

"This is just the first layer of protection." Wen Nuan explained, entering a complex password on the control panel while performing fingerprint and iris verification.

The second door opened, revealing an ancient room with walls engraved with mysterious runes, emitting faint spiritual fluctuations.

"This is our family's ancestral protective formation." Wen Nuan pointed at the runes and said, "It can resist any foreign invasion. Even modern technology cannot break it."

The elders looked at each other, all shocked by this ancient and mysterious power.

The elder of the Wang family stepped forward and carefully observed the runes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to learn even this..."

Wen Nuan smiled slightly and said nothing.

She walked to the center of the room and gently pressed a button.

The ground in the center of the room slowly dropped away, revealing a more hidden chamber.

In the secret room, in a transparent display cabinet, an ancient jade artifact lies quietly.

"This is..." An elder was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Nuan.

"Wait." Wen Nuan walked to the display cabinet, entered a password again, and then placed her palm on it.

After a slight buzzing sound, the display case slowly opened.

Wen Nuan carefully took out the jade and handed it to the elder of the Wang family, "Please take a look."

The elder of the Wang family took the jade and looked at it carefully.

Jadeware emits a soft glow, as if it has life, which is awe-inspiring.

The elder of the Wang family looked at it for a long time before slowly speaking: "This... this is really..."

"That's right." Wen Nuan answered affirmatively.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the entrance of the secret room: "It seems that the good show has just begun..." At the entrance of the secret room, Mo Han's figure slowly appeared, his eyes were cold, with a hint of imperceptible anger.

He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Mo Erbo.

"Uncle, you are so brave." His voice was low but full of deterrence.

The family meeting was held again, but the atmosphere was completely different from before.

Mo Han played a recording in public, which contained a conversation between Mo Erbo and Sun's business rival about plotting to frame Wen Nuan.

The evidence was conclusive and Mo Erbo had no way to defend himself. His face was pale and his body was trembling slightly.

Mo Han did not give up. He continued to expose the evidence of Mo Erbo's corruption and bribery in the family business over the years. Each and every one of them was shocking.

Mo Han's actions shocked all family members. They didn't expect Mo Han to stand on Wen Nuan's side so decisively.

His firm attitude made many originally wavering family members change their positions and stand on Wen Nuan's side again.

The elders of the Wang family looked at Mo Han with relief in their eyes.

At the same time, Wen Nuan found the private detective Zhao who had been misled before.

She did not blame him, but told him the truth frankly.

Private Detective Zhao was moved by Wen Nuan's generosity and took the initiative to provide some new clues about Baowu's business secrets.

These clues point to a mysterious organization, which seems to be inextricably linked to the Mo family.

Wen Nuan took these new clues but did not rush into action.

She understood that the most important thing now was to stabilize the internal relationships within the family. Only by unity could they resist external threats.

She returned to the family mansion, only to find Mo Han standing at the door waiting for her.

He looked at her, his eyes filled with worry.

"Are you okay?" Mo Han asked, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his tone.

Wen Nuan shook her head and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a voice from behind her: "It seems that we have all been deceived..."

Wen Nuan knew very well that even if the conspiracy of Mo Erbo and Sun's business rivals was exposed, the rift within the family would not be healed overnight.

She needs time, and even more importantly, an opportunity.

So she carefully planned a family gathering.

There is no luxurious decoration, no delicacies, only simple home-cooked meals and warm smiles.

She cooked herself and made a table full of dishes that everyone loved, as if they were back in their warm childhood.

During the meal, she did not mention the treasure again, but talked about the family's past and everyone's childhood stories. Laughter and joy filled the room.

The previous estrangement and suspicion gradually melted away under the warm and loving attack.

Family members began to realize that they were a whole, a family that shared honor and disgrace.

They need to unite and trust each other in order to jointly protect the family's honor.

After the party, Wen Nuan came to the garden alone, looking at the starry sky, her heart full of hope.

She believes that as long as the family is united, any difficulties can be overcome.

However, at this moment, she overheard a conversation that made her originally relaxed mood instantly become heavy.

"Is everything arranged?" a low voice asked.

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan." Another voice replied, "This time, she will definitely not escape." Wen Nuan's heart sank suddenly. She realized that Uncle Mo was not giving up. He seemed to have new moves behind the scenes.

Wen Nuan quietly approached the direction where the sound came from, and through the dense bushes, she saw the figure of Mo Erbo.

He was talking to a mysterious man in black, and both of them had gloomy and weird expressions.

"Remember, you must do it cleanly and neatly." Uncle Mo Er reminded again, "This time, I want to make her disappear completely!" The man in black nodded, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Mo Erbo looked at the direction where the man in black left, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wu Nuan, this time, I want to see what else you are capable of..." He whispered to himself, his voice full of resentment and hatred.

Wen Nuan hid behind the bushes, her heart pounding.

She realized that a bigger storm was coming...

Suddenly, a hand gently rested on her shoulder.

"What are you doing?" A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
