From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 289: Preliminary Investigation of Confidential Information: Signs of a Hidden Traitor

"A lot of important information from the R&D department... is missing!" These words exploded in the conference room like thunder.

Mo Han stood up suddenly, his face ashen, a chill emanating from him, and the temperature of the entire conference room seemed to drop several degrees.

Her warm heart sank, and an ominous premonition enveloped her.

"Go to the R&D department immediately!" Mo Han growled and rushed out of the meeting room first.

Wen Nuan followed closely behind, and the sound of her high heels hitting the ground seemed particularly urgent in the empty corridor.

The R&D department was in chaos, with tension and panic in the air.

The scattered documents, overturned folders, and messy tables and chairs all tell of what happened here.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

She knew that now was not the time to panic, she had to find clues as soon as possible to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Wen Nuan carefully checked every document and every piece of paper, not missing any details.

As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Too much information was lost, and it was all core confidential information. If this information fell into the hands of competitors, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just when Wen Nuan was about to despair, she suddenly found a piece of paper in the messy pile of documents.

The paper was very ordinary, with no words on it, but there was a clear fingerprint.

Wen Nuan was delighted, this might be the breakthrough!

She carefully put the paper away and glanced at everyone in the R&D department.

There are not many people in the R&D department. In addition to a few R&D personnel, there is also the security team leader Wang Baoan.

Wang Baoan was a burly man with a serious face. He stood in the corner without saying a word.

Wen Nuan noticed that his eyes were a little evasive, as if he was deliberately avoiding her gaze.

"Captain Wang," Wen Nuan walked up to Wang Baoan and asked calmly, "Have you been in the R&D department all day?" Wang Baoan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering before he said, "I... I've been here most of the time."

"Have you seen any suspicious people entering or leaving the R&D department?"

Wang Baoan's Adam's apple moved, and his eyes were erratic. "No...no..."

Wen Nuan stared closely at Wang Baoan's eyes, already having some guesses in her mind.

She continued calmly, "Then can you tell me how many times you left the R&D department today and where you went each time?" Wang Baoan's face turned a little ugly, and he stammered, "I... I can't remember clearly..."

"Can't remember?" Wen Nuan smiled faintly, but her tone was a little cold. "Captain Wang, I hope you can recall it carefully. This is very important." She paused, her eyes falling on the badge on Wang Baoan's chest. "After all, this concerns the future of the Mo Group, and your own future as well."

Wang Baoan's face became even paler, his lips trembled, but he could not speak.

Wen Nuan knew that she was about to touch the truth.

She pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and gently wiped the fingerprinted paper. Her eyes were sharp as a knife. "Captain Wang, do you still remember this piece of paper?" She held the paper in front of Wang Baoan, and his pupils shrank suddenly...

"This……"

Wang Baoan's face turned pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. He subconsciously took a step back and stammered, "I... I don't know... This piece of paper... I've never seen it before..."

Wen Nuan sneered and pressed on: "Captain Wang, at this point, are you still trying to hide it? The fingerprints on this paper are yours."

Wang Baoan's face became even uglier. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

He was horrified to find that he was in a desperate situation.

"I...I..." Wang Baoan's tone softened, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "I just...I just took some documents...I didn't steal any secrets..."

"Oh? Then what documents did you take? What did you do with them?" Wen Nuan asked aggressively.

Wang Baoan's eyes flickered, not daring to look directly into Wen Nuan's eyes. "I... I just want to see... some information about the company..."

"Really?" Wen Nuan raised an eyebrow. "Then why are you sneaking around? Why are you hiding? Why are you lying?"

More beads of sweat oozed from Wang Baoan's forehead, and his breathing became rapid. "I... I..."

"Enough!" Mo Han's voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of coldness.

He strode to Wen Nuan and held her in his arms lovingly, "You are already very tired, leave the rest to me."

Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling the warmth and strength coming from him, and her heart warmed.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, Mo Han would stand by her, support her and protect her.

Mo Han turned his head and stared at Wang Baoan with cold eyes, "Captain Wang, I hope you can confess everything, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Wang Baoan's body trembled even more violently. He realized that he had no way to escape.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "I... I did take some documents... but... but I'm not the mastermind..."

"Oh? Who is the mastermind?" Mo Han's voice was still cold.

Wang Baoan hesitated for a moment, then finally said a name: "It's... it's Liu Xiao's team..."

"Liu Xiao Team?" Mo Han frowned slightly. He was not unfamiliar with this name. He was the leader of a small team in the company. He usually behaved very low-key. He didn't expect it to be him.

"They... they gave me some money... to help them steal company secrets..." Wang Baoan's voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Mo Han's face was terribly gloomy. He didn't expect that there would be a traitor inside the company.

He glanced at Wang Baoan coldly, then turned to Wen Nuan and said, "Go and have a rest first. I'll take care of the rest."

Wen Nuan nodded. She knew that Mo Han would handle everything.

She turned and left the R&D department, leaving Mo Han alone to face Wang Baoan.

Mo Han walked up to Wang Baoan and looked down at him, "Where is Liu Xiao's team now?"

Wang Baoan trembled and said, "I... I don't know..."

Mo Han sneered, "It seems you won't cry until you see the coffin." He paused, his eyes falling on the badge on Wang Baoan's chest, "Are you sure you don't want to tell me?"

Wang Baoan's face became even paler, his lips trembled, but he could not speak.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the R&D department.

A R&D staff member walked in and looked at Mo Han timidly, "Mr. Mo..."

Mo Han turned around and looked at the R&D staff. "What's going on?"

The developer hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say, "I... I know something..."

R&D engineer Li Gong stammered, "I... I saw Liu Xiao's team interact with a stranger several times. They... they seemed to be trading something..."

"Stranger? Can you still recognize him?" Wen Nuan keenly captured this key information.

Li Gong nodded, then shook his head. "I... I'm not sure, but... but I can try..."

Wen Nuan immediately arranged for someone to take Engineer Li to identify the suspect.

While waiting, warm thoughts fly.

Liu Xiao's team, strangers, transactions...

These fragmented pieces of information pieced together made her feel a sense of conspiracy.

"Mo Han, I think this matter might not be simple." Wen Nuan walked over to Mo Han and whispered, "I suspect there might be a bigger force behind Liu Xiao's team."

Mo Han nodded, a cold light flashing in his deep eyes, "I have arranged for people to check the background of Liu Xiao's team. I believe there will be results soon."

At the same time, Wen Nuan was not idle either.

She used the Mo Han family's connections to obtain a list of people who might be related to external forces.

The people on the list have different identities, including businessmen, politicians, and even gangsters.

Wen Nuan carefully looked through the list, and a name caught her attention - Zhang Qiang.

This person is an external contact for a competitor company, and he acts in a secretive way with a complicated background.

"Zhang Qiang..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, feeling vaguely in her heart that this person might be the mastermind behind Liu Xiao's team.

Just then, Mr. Li came back.

He pointed to a photo on the list and said with certainty, "That's him! That's the guy! I've seen him with Liu Xiao's team!"

Wen Nuan's heart suddenly sank. The person that Mr. Li pointed out was Zhang Qiang!

"It seems that our investigation is on the right track." Wen Nuan took a deep breath, her eyes determined. "Mo Han, we must find Zhang Qiang as soon as possible and uncover the truth of this trade secret theft case!"

Mo Han nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "I will arrange for people to monitor Zhang Qiang 24 hours a day. We must not let him escape!"

While Wen Nuan and Mo Han were conducting an intensive investigation, the top management of Sun Enterprise received the news.

His face was gloomy, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, "This Wen Nuan is really a trouble..." He picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Hello, it's me... Can you help me check what Wen Nuan has been doing recently..." A low voice came from the other end of the phone: "I know..."

Sun Gaodian hung up the phone, tapping his fingers on the table, his eyes flickering, "Wen Nuan, you'd better not meddle in other people's business..." He paused, a cold smile on his face, "Otherwise..."

Sun Gaogao had a gloomy face and found warmth.

"Wen Nuan, it's a good thing for young people to be energetic, but they should also act within their capabilities. Some things are beyond your control." There was a warning in his tone.

Wen Nuan met his gaze fearlessly, "Mr. Sun, the leakage of commercial secrets is a serious matter. As a member of the Mo Group, I have the responsibility and obligation to find out the truth."

Senior Sun's expression changed. "Are you questioning my management ability?"

"I'm just doing my duty." Wen Nuan said firmly, not giving an inch.

"Hmph, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have Mo Han's support! There are some things you'd better not interfere with, otherwise..." Sun's tone was cold and the threat was self-evident.

"What else?" Wen Nuan raised her eyebrows without flinching.

Sun Gaogao snorted coldly and walked away.

Wen Nuan looked at his departing back, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

She knew that Sun, a senior executive, must be involved in this confidential leak.

At the same time, Liu Xiao's team is urgently destroying the evidence.

They deleted all records of contact with Zhang Qiang and burned some key documents.

"Damn it, how did Wen Nuan get here?" The leader of Liu Xiao's team had a gloomy expression and a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Boss, what should we do now?" one of the men asked nervously.

"What else can we do? Destroy all evidence and not leave any clues!" said the leader of Liu Xiao's team gritting his teeth.

Wen Nuan returned to the office, only to find that Captain Wang Baoan had left the company in a panic.

An intuition told her that there must be something wrong with Wang Baoan.

She immediately decided to follow him.

She quietly followed Wang Baoan and watched him walk into a remote cafe.

Wen Nuan hid in the dark and observed, and found that Wang Baoan met with a strange man.

The two men were talking in low voices, looking furtive.

Wen Nuan's heart moved, and she immediately took out her cell phone and recorded the conversation between the two.

"Have you cleaned up everything?" the strange man asked.

"Everything has been dealt with cleanly. No evidence will be left." Wang Baoan replied in a low voice.

"Very good." The strange man nodded with satisfaction. "Remember, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise..."

The stranger's threats came to an abrupt end, and Wang Baoan's face turned even paler.

Wen Nuan's heart trembled. She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth...

"Wait..." Wen Nuan suddenly realized something. She turned around and looked behind her...
