From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 295: Stolen Secrets: A Journey to Find the Truth

Wen Nuan pushed open the heavy metal door of the R&D department, and a musty smell mixed with the scent of paper hit her face.

The room was in a mess, with scattered documents falling on the tables, chairs and the floor like snowflakes. The originally orderly filing cabinets now looked like they had been looted, with drawers half-open and the documents inside in a mess.

In the confidential document storage area, the indicator light of the electronic lock flashed a strange red light, and there were several clear scratches left in the fingerprint recognition area.

Her warm heart suddenly sank, and a huge pressure like a mountain pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

This was not just a simple theft, but more like an elaborate conspiracy.

"Ms. Wen Nuan, do you think this... is there some misunderstanding?" Senior Sun rubbed his hands together, a fake smile plastered on his face. "The R&D department is currently working on a new project, so it's normal to have more documents and a bit of a mess."

Wen Nuan glanced at him coldly, her eyes sharp as a knife. "Senior Sun, I understand what you mean, but this involves company secrets, and no clues can be overlooked. Please cooperate with my investigation."

The smile on Sun's face froze, and a hint of subtle panic flashed in his eyes: "Ms. Wen Nuan, I'm afraid this investigation will affect the normal work of the R&D department..."

"Will it affect normal work?" Wen Nuan's tone was icy, carrying unquestionable authority. "If company secrets are leaked, the damage caused will go far beyond simply affecting work! Senior Sun, are you questioning my judgment?"

Sun Gao's face changed, and he waved his hands quickly: "I dare not, I dare not, it's just..."

"Just what?" Wen Nuan pressed forward with an imposing manner.

Senior official Sun hesitated but could not utter another word.

Wen Nuan ignored him and walked straight to the monitoring room, leaving Sun Gaocai alone there with a sullen face.

In the monitoring room, the officer on duty saw Wen Nuan and immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully.

Wen Nuan didn't exchange pleasantries and directly asked to retrieve the surveillance video of the time period of the incident.

The operator on duty quickly operated and the monitoring image appeared on the screen.

In the dim corridor, a blurry figure flashed by at such a speed that it was difficult to identify.

"Zoom in, increase the clarity." Wen Nuan pointed at the screen with a firm tone.

The attendant tried repeatedly but still couldn't see the man's face clearly.

At this moment, the surveillance footage was suddenly interrupted and snowflakes appeared on the screen.

"What's going on?" Wen Nuan turned around suddenly and stared at the attendant with sharp eyes.

"I... I don't know. It was fine just now..." The attendant's face turned pale and he stammered to explain.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned around and left the monitoring room.

In the corridor, a familiar figure was walking slowly. It was the security team leader Wang Qiang.

"Captain Wang," Wen Nuan called him, "I have a few questions for you."

Wang Qiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering: "Miss Wen Nuan, what can I do for you?"

Wen Nuan stared into his eyes and said word by word, "Regarding the theft in the R&D department..."

"Captain Wang," Wen Nuan said sharply, "Where were you on the night of the incident?"

Wang Qiang's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously touched his nose: "I... I'm on routine patrol."

"Routine patrol?" Wen Nuan sneered. "The surveillance footage shows that you were not near the R&D department during the time of the incident. Captain Wang, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Beads of sweat oozed from Wang Qiang's forehead. He stammered, "I...I remembered it wrongly. I...I went to the bathroom."

"Bathroom? You weren't seen on the surveillance camera." Wen Nuan pressed on, her eyes as sharp as an eagle's, as if she wanted to see through Wang Qiang's disguise.

Wang Qiang's face was pale and his lips were trembling, but he could no longer utter a word.

Wen Nuan ignored him and turned to leave. She knew that she could not get any useful information from Wang Qiang.

She came to R&D researcher Li's office, where he was sitting on a chair with a haggard face and empty eyes.

"Mr. Li," Wen Nuan said softly, "I know you're scared, but you have to tell me the truth. Only in this way can you protect yourself and the company."

R&D staff member Li raised his head, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, his lips trembled, but he didn't dare to speak.

Wen Nuan held his hand, giving him strength: "Mr. Li, don't be afraid. I will protect you. Tell me, what do you know?"

Researcher Li took a deep breath, finally mustered up the courage, and whispered, "I... I saw them... They always... leave... through the back door... at midnight..."

"Back door?" Wen Nuan's heart moved, and a bold guess emerged in her mind.

"Yes...backdoor..." R&D researcher Li's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Wen Nuan immediately stood up and walked quickly towards the back door.

The back door is located in a remote corner of the company and few people pass by it.

She carefully observed the surrounding environment and found some subtle traces on the ground, as if someone was often active there.

She took out her cell phone and called Mo Han: "Mo Han, I need you to do me a favor..."

As night fell, Wen Nuan came alone to an abandoned factory near the company.

According to the clues provided by Li's R&D staff, the small team members are likely to meet secretly here.

She hid in the shadows outside the factory, quietly observing the movements around her.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from far away...

Wen Nuan carefully hid in the shadow of the abandoned factory. With her nimble body and quick thinking, she seemed to have become one with the darkness.

A cool breeze blew past gently, blowing away a few strands of her black hair that were blown away by the wind.

She held her breath and pressed her ear to the wall, picking up the faint sounds inside the factory.

In the factory, a figure paced back and forth under the dim light.

That was the leader of Liu Xiao’s team, Liu Feng.

His voice was full of malice and warning: "Someone is investigating us, we can't be careless! Humph, no matter who it is, don't think of making any waves easily!" He glared at his accomplice beside him, his clenched fists looking particularly ferocious under the light.

An accomplice whispered in agreement, "Don't worry, Boss. The documents have been properly processed. Those idiots won't be able to find any clues."

Wen Nuan listened quietly in the darkness, but a sense of unease and alertness gradually rose in her heart.

Liu Feng's words undoubtedly made her realize that her investigation had touched some key nerves.

She knew that if she was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Just then, a shrill bell rang from deep within the factory. Wen Nuan suddenly shrank behind the wall, trying to hold his breath and stay hidden.

Liu Feng and his accomplices became alert and looked around nervously.

"There's someone outside!" Liu Feng lowered his voice, threateningly saying, "Go and see. If anyone dares to interfere in our affairs, let him know the price!"

Wen Nuan did not dare to be careless. She retreated cautiously in another direction along the edge of the factory until she regained a safe distance. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

Liu Feng gave a solemn order in the factory, with an undeniable ruthlessness: "Keep a close eye on her. She's been here before and will come again. When the time comes... let her know how deep this water is."

Wen Nuan looked solemn, knowing that she was being targeted, but she did not back down at all.

Somehow, she heard Liu Feng's dangerous yet confident threat and kept it in mind.

She turned and walked away, crushing a few moss-covered pieces of rubble under her feet. The darkness still loomed over her steps, but her determination was unwavering.

Just when she realized that the real battle had just begun, the phone in her pocket vibrated. It was Mo Han calling.

Wen Nuan pressed the answer button, and before Mo Han could speak, she whispered something powerful: "This time, I will never lose to them." Then she hung up the phone, looked into the distance with a firm gaze, and walked step by step into the embrace of the night.

When Wen Nuan returned home, Mo Han was sitting in the study with a frown on his face and several documents in his hands.

Seeing Wen Nuan coming back, he immediately stood up and asked with concern: "How is it? Any clues?"

Wen Nuan shook her head and recounted everything that had happened today, including the damage to the surveillance video, Wang Qiang's evasive answer, and Li's fear as a researcher.

After hearing this, Mo Han's expression became serious.

He knew that this matter was more complicated than he had imagined.

Although he was worried about Wen Nuan's safety, he also understood Wen Nuan's persistence and determination.

"Wen Nuan," Mo Han said firmly, "I will fully support you in this matter. If you need any resources, just tell me."

Wen Nuan felt warm in her heart and looked at Mo Han with gratitude.

She knew that with Mo Han's support, she would be more confident in uncovering the truth.

In the next few days, Wen Nuan began to secretly investigate the background and activities of the small team members.

She found that Liu Feng and others had become unusually active recently, often entering and leaving the company late at night.

A bold guess emerged in Wen Nuan's mind: the small team might be preparing to transfer confidential documents!

In order to confirm this speculation, Wen Nuan increased her monitoring of the small team.

She arranged for people to track the whereabouts of Liu Feng and others 24 hours a day, and secretly installed trackers on their vehicles.

Late one night, the tracker showed that Liu Feng's vehicle was heading towards the suburbs.

Wen Nuan immediately realized that the transfer operation had begun!

She quickly contacted Mo Han and reported the situation to him.

Mo Han immediately dispatched personnel to intercept Liu Feng's vehicle on the way.

Wen Nuan drove the car herself, following closely behind Liu Feng's car.

The night enveloped the earth, and the car lights cut through the darkness like two sharp swords, crossing in the night sky.

In front, Liu Feng's car suddenly accelerated and drove towards a remote road.

Wen Nuan's heart tightened, knowing that they had discovered the tracker.

A chase is about to begin!

Wen Nuan gripped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes determined, and she stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed out like an arrow.

"Liu Feng, you can't escape!" Wen Nuan whispered, her tone full of confidence and determination.

Suddenly, there was a sharp turn on the road ahead, and Liu Feng's car turned sharply and disappeared into the night.

Wen Nuan hurried to catch up, but found herself led into a dead end.

"Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!" Wen Nuan cried in her heart.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, and a dark figure slowly walked out of the darkness and said in a cold tone: "Miss Wen Nuan, long time no see."
