From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 269: Chaos Restarts: Secret Affair Surrounded by Dangers

Wen Nuan's heart suddenly shrank. Mo Han was not in the study. He went to the company tonight to deal with urgent matters.

The shadow outside the window was moving so fast that she couldn't tell who it was, but its sneaky posture clearly showed ill intentions.

A strong sense of unease enveloped her, and she immediately realized that Mo Erbo's conspiracy might have begun.

The night was as dark as ink, and the shadows of the trees around the Mo family's ancestral home were swaying, as if countless monsters were lurking.

Mo Erbo, along with treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao, hid behind the rockery in the garden. They lowered their voices and discussed how to avoid the patrol team and find the secret room where the treasure was stored.

Treasure appraiser Lin looked nervous and wiped the sweat from his forehead from time to time: "Mr. Mo, the defense system of the Mo family mansion is much more complicated than I thought. Can we really succeed?" Uncle Mo glared at him viciously: "Stop talking nonsense! As long as we get the treasure, you will get benefits!" Private detective Zhao hid in the dark, using professional equipment to detect the surrounding environment, trying to find loopholes in the defense system.

Little did they know that their every move was under Wen Nuan's control.

Wen Nuan had already set up numerous traps around the ancestral home, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.

She called up the surveillance footage and looked at the three people acting suspiciously on the screen with a sneer on her face.

She pressed a button, and the fountain in the garden suddenly sprayed out a large amount of water mist, obscuring the vision of the three people.

At the same time, the stone slabs on the ground began to move, separating them.

Mo Erbo cried out in surprise, but before he could react, he was trapped in an enclosed space surrounded by stone walls.

"What's going on? What the hell is this thing!" Treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao were also panicked. They ran around, but found themselves trapped in a maze-like mechanism.

Treasure appraiser Lin pointed at Private Detective Zhao angrily and cursed: "It's all your fault! You said it was foolproof, but what should we do now?!" Private Detective Zhao was also sweating profusely. He scanned around with the detector, but found that the signal was interfered with and he couldn't determine the direction at all.

"Stop making noise!" Mo Erbo roared, "Find a way to get out!" He pushed the stone wall hard, but it didn't move at all.

Suddenly, he felt a vibration under his feet and the ground began to sink...

He shouted desperately: "Help! Help!"

Wen Nuan stood in the monitoring room, looking at the miserable appearance of the three people on the screen, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

She picked up the intercom and said coldly, "Catch them."

The mist from the fountain dissipated and the garden returned to calm. Only the disheveled figures of Mo Erbo and his two companions were escorted by security guards and brought to the family members.

Mo Erbo's face was covered in dust and fear, his clothes were disheveled, and he no longer had the arrogance he once had.

"Wen Nuan! You vicious woman! How dare you frame me!" When Mo Erbo saw Wen Nuan appear, he immediately barked like a mad dog. "You set a trap just to take the family treasure for yourself. You have such a cruel heart!"

The elder of the Wang family had a gloomy expression on his face. He had always been resentful of Wen Nuan, and now he was even more convinced of what Mo Erbo said.

"Wen Nuan, is what Second Uncle said true? Why did you do this?"

Other family members also began to whisper, and cast suspicious glances at Wen Nuan.

Some people even began to accuse her of being ungrateful and ambitious.

Wen Nuan faced everyone's questions without changing her expression. She calmly took out a tablet and played the surveillance video.

The screen clearly showed the scene of Mo Erbo conspiring with treasure appraiser Lin and private detective Zhao, as well as the whole process of them sneaking into the garden and trying to steal the treasure.

Treasure appraiser Lin confessed that he was bribed by Sun's business rival to distort the value of the treasure. Private detective Zhao also admitted that he was hired by an external force to steal the Mo family's business secrets.

The evidence was irrefutable, and Mo Erbo's lies were self-defeating.

The family members watched all this in shock. They didn't expect that Uncle Mo would be so bold as to collude with outsiders and damage the family's interests.

The elder of the Wang family's face also turned ashen. He glared at Mo Erbo fiercely, his tone full of disappointment and anger.

"Second uncle, do you have anything else to say?"

Uncle Mo slumped on the ground, he knew that he was finished. His status in the family plummeted and there was no possibility of recovery.

Everyone condemned Mo Erbo's despicable behavior, and those who once supported him turned against him and avoided him.

And Wen Nuan became a hero in everyone's eyes who protected the family's interests.

She handled the crisis calmly and protected the family's treasures and business secrets.

Just then, the door of the hall was pushed open and a tall figure walked in.

Mo Han saw Wen Nuan surrounded by people, her face pale, and his heart tightened...

"warmth!

"

When Mo Han saw Wen Nuan surrounded by people and her face was pale, his heart tightened. He strode to her side and hugged her in his arms.

"Wu Nuan!" He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I'm here." His warm embrace and gentle words made Wen Nuan feel extremely happy and at ease.

She leaned lightly on his shoulder, feeling his strong heartbeat, as if all the troubles had faded away at this moment.

The elders of the Wang family became even more displeased when they saw Mo Han defending Wen Nuan in this way. They were about to scold him, but were interrupted by the actions of private detective Zhao.

Private Detective Zhao was sweating profusely, his eyes flickering. He tremblingly took out a USB drive and handed it to Mo Han: "Mr. Mo, there's something important in here...

Mo Han took the USB drive, plugged it into the computer, and a recording appeared on the screen.

In the recording, Mo Erbo's voice is clearly audible. He is discussing with a mysterious man how to crack the treasure's business secrets, and he promises to give a large reward after the task is completed.

The content of the recording revealed the fact that Mo Erbo had been looking for a way to crack the treasure's business secrets, and also completely exposed his greedy true face.

The family members were in an uproar. They didn't expect Uncle Mo Er to be so insidious and cunning. Their previous suspicions of Wen Nuan disappeared in an instant. More people stood on Wen Nuan's side and strongly condemned Uncle Mo Er's behavior.

The Wang family elder's expression became even uglier. He glared at Uncle Mo fiercely, his disappointment and anger evident in his words.

Mo Erbo's face was pale. He knew that he was completely finished. All his conspiracies and tricks had been exposed. He no longer had any room for excuses.

He slumped on the ground, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

Wen Nuan looked at all this and did not feel the slightest pleasure in her heart, but instead felt a hint of sadness.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I..."

"Wait," Mo Han suddenly interrupted her, "I'll handle this matter." He turned to look at Uncle Mo, his eyes cold and his tone carrying a hint of warning, "Uncle Mo, do you have anything else to say?"

Mo Erbo raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

"Since you have nothing to say," Mo Han's voice became even colder, "then..." He paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone present, "deal with it according to the clan rules."

Everyone held their breath, waiting for Mo Han's final decision.

Wen Nuan gently pulled Mo Han's sleeve, with a hint of pleading in her eyes...

Wen Nuan gently pulled Mo Han's sleeve, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Mo Han understood what she meant and nodded slightly.

He took a deep breath and softened his tone. "Second Uncle, considering your many years of contribution to the family, I will not hold you responsible this time. But you must deeply reflect on your mistakes. If you make the same mistake again, I will not forgive you!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

They didn't expect Wen Nuan to be so magnanimous. Not only did she not expel Mo Erbo from the family, but she gave him a chance to reform.

The elders of the Wang family originally wanted to take this opportunity to completely suppress Mo Erbo's faction, but they didn't expect Wen Nuan to come up with such a move, catching him off guard.

He opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.

Other family members expressed their appreciation for Wen Nuan's behavior. They admired her tolerance and magnanimity, and respected her character and ability even more.

Mo Erbo was even more grateful. He fell to his knees and confessed his crimes with tears. He vowed to change his ways and be loyal to the family in the future.

The crisis seemed to be resolved, and the Mo family's ancestral home returned to its former tranquility.

However, Wen Nuan's heart could never calm down.

She always felt that this matter was not that simple, and there seemed to be a greater crisis lurking in the dark.

In the next few days, Wen Nuan carefully checked all the surveillance videos and materials, trying to find clues.

She discovered that although private detective Zhao and treasure appraiser Lin had been captured, they did not seem to have really touched the core secrets of the treasure.

This made her even more uneasy, as she worried that outside forces might have obtained some of the information through other channels.

One night, Wen Nuan was sorting documents in the study when she suddenly heard a slight noise outside the window.

She walked to the window vigilantly and saw a dark shadow flash by through the gap in the curtains.

Her heart tightened, and she immediately realized that her premonition had come true.

She quickly turned on the computer and called up the surveillance footage, only to discover that the surveillance system had been hacked and the screen was covered in snow.

She stood up suddenly, picked up the phone and dialed Mo Han's number.

"Mo Han, something happened..."

On the other end of the phone, Mo Han's voice was low and urgent: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Someone has hacked into our system, I suspect..." Before Wen Nuan finished her words, she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door became more urgent and louder, as if foreshadowing a greater crisis was about to come.

Wen Nuan's heart suddenly sank. She put down the phone, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door...

Standing outside the door was the Mo family's butler, his face pale and his eyes full of fear.

"Madam, something bad has happened..."
