From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 296: Deep into Danger: Secret Tracking

Wen Nuan held her breath and quietly observed the dark shadow in front of her.

She felt a chill coming from all directions, a sign of danger.

Only then did she realize that she was falling into a carefully laid trap.

"Ms. Wen Nuan, long time no see." The shadow's voice tried to cover up the momentary tension with coldness and disdain.

Wen Nuan forced herself to remain calm. She knew that every step she took at this moment was related to the situation she and Mo Han would face next.

She quickly glanced around and saw several figures emerging from the darkness. It was obvious that this was not the place for a friendly conversation.

Faced with the sudden approach, Wen Nuan almost instinctively thought of a way to escape.

Her eyes fell on a small minion who looked a little panicked. He was the weakest link in this crescent-shaped encirclement.

Wen Nuan's heart moved, and she seized this opportunity. She deliberately took a step back, as if she was wavering and afraid, creating a false impression for the other party.

Seeing this, the black shadow sneered and revealed his confidence in winning.

He took small steps forward, getting closer and closer, hoping to subdue Wen Nuan in one fell swoop.

At that moment, Wen Nuan's eyes flashed, and while no one was paying attention, she quickly pulled out a small can of pepper spray from her arms and sprayed it forward.

Several thugs were hit in the face and immediately lost their sight.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Wen Nuan rushed swiftly towards the direction where the light was the dimmest, where the thugs failed to defend.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the minion also wanted to escape, but Wen Nuan pulled him back and he became her temporary "teammate".

The pursuers were in such a hurry that they couldn't react in time. Wen Nuan and his minions fled for their lives, disappearing into the deeper night.

The people behind hurriedly restored their formation and shouted to catch up, but in the end they were left behind by Wen Nuan's wit and speed.

After finally escaping the crisis, Wen Nuan stopped and gasped.

She looked back at the help she had "taken away".

"If you want to escape, do it now. Don't waste my kindness." Wen Nuan said in a light tone. The little follower was still a little frightened, but he obviously understood that if it weren't for Wen Nuan, he would have had difficulty surviving.

The minion hesitated for a moment, and finally put aside his uneasy whisper and continued: "They have another plan... More people will come..." After that, he nodded and left quickly, disappearing into the night.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tightened her coat.

The night seemed incredibly long, but she had no intention of backing down.

The road ahead was treacherous, but she had never felt so determined.

Looking up at the moonlit night sky, she was determined and ready to face greater challenges.

The mission failed, but she was prepared.

She picked up her phone, dialed the familiar number, and spoke calmly and decisively: "Mo Han, we have to make another plan as soon as possible." There was a silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a firm and calm response.

Wen Nuan put down her phone and took another step. This time, her steps were firm, her mind was focused, and she was determined without fear. Although she had not yet touched the core, she was one step closer to the truth.

When Mo Han received the warm call, he was already leaning back in the chair in front of his desk, his eyes fixed on the endless night outside the window.

He heard a warm, calm, yet powerful voice, as if every word she said carried unwavering determination.

After a slight pause, Mo Han did not suggest her to retreat as he had done before. He realized that the trust between the two was their strongest line of defense in the face of crisis.

"We have more and more information at hand, and we can't miss this opportunity. Be careful over there, I will arrange people to support us," Mo Han's voice echoed in the empty office. He grasped every detail and analyzed it silently.

Mo Han mobilized resources within the family and ordered his closest relatives and confidants to support the two.

They need to plan every step thereafter carefully so that the other party cannot anticipate it in advance.

Relying on new clues obtained from the minions, Wen Nuan found a secret contact point of external forces.

In another hidden corner of the city, there is an old warehouse. The dilapidated walls around it are without any superfluous decorations, and the faint light in the night outlines a mysterious outline.

She sneaked into the warehouse quietly with a resolute belief in her heart.

The warehouse was eerily quiet, with only the slight creaking sound of her feet on the old wooden floor echoing repeatedly.

Wen Nuan searched intently and finally found an inconspicuous old computer in an inconspicuous corner.

Although it looks worn, the signs of information flow on it indicate that it has been used frequently recently.

Wen Nuan turned on the phone carefully, and at the same time looked around vigilantly to make sure she was not being followed.

The light from the screen illuminated her calm and focused face. She entered the cracking program, praying that the backup of those secret files would be able to find some clues here.

Among the complex data that gradually emerged, Wen Nuan captured confidential documents that clearly belonged to the Mo family's business. That was one of the important evidences that she and Mo Han had been looking for.

With a few subtle computer noises, Wen Nuan copied the useful information in time. Realizing that time was running out, she turned off the computer and left quickly.

Only after she walked out of the warehouse did she realize that the atmosphere of crisis was slowly gathering around her.

Faintly, it seemed as if prying eyes were approaching.

Warmth caresses my chest, and hope returns to peace.

Now alone, she seemed to be fighting against the entire enemy world.

"These are more than just evidence," she thought, quickly hiding the USB drive in her arms.

The sound of wind rustled in her ears, and she suppressed her uneasiness. She turned around and smiled faintly as she answered Mo Han's call, "I got what you need." Mo Han's steady approval from the other end of the phone further strengthened her fearless confidence.

Wen Nuan stood there, unconcerned about the looming threat from the bystanders.

She knew that the real battle had just begun.

As the footsteps gradually approached, she adjusted her breathing, and the next scene of her fate was already unfolding before her eyes.

Outside the warehouse, several dark shadows gradually approached and surrounded Wen Nuan.

Zhang, the contact person for the external forces, walked forward slowly with a contemptuous smile on his face.

“Miss Wen Nuan, I didn’t expect you to fall into my hands so quickly.”

Wen Nuan smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Zhang, you seem too confident." She calmly reached into her pocket and held the pepper spray tightly.

Zhang snorted disdainfully: "Do you think you can escape? We have surrounded you here." He winked at his men, and several dark shadows immediately approached Wen Nuan.

"Really?" Wen Nuan raised a sly smile, and suddenly, she sprayed the pepper spray in her hand at Zhang and his men.

A pungent smell filled the air, and Zhang and his men covered their eyes and howled in pain.

Wen Nuan took the opportunity to turn around and run, her figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Zhang yelled in frustration, "Chase her! Chase her! Don't let her get away!"

At the same time, within the company, senior management of Sun Enterprise was spreading rumors about Wen Nuan, saying that she had stolen company secrets, colluded with external forces, and tried to damage the company's reputation.

"Have you heard? That woman Wen Nuan actually stole the company's confidential documents!"

"Is this true? How dare she do this?"

"I heard that she's colluding with outside forces. How terrifying!"

The rumor spread like a virus, and Wen Nuan's situation in the company became increasingly difficult.

Colleagues began to point fingers at her, talk about her, and some even started to isolate her.

Wen Nuan didn't care about this. She knew she had to hand over the evidence to Mo Han as soon as possible to reveal the truth and clear her name.

She evaded Zhang's pursuit and returned to the place she had agreed with Mo Han.

Mo Han looked at her slightly disheveled appearance and hugged her in his arms with heartache.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Wen Nuan shook her head and handed the USB drive to Mo Han. "This is the evidence I found."

Mo Han took the USB drive and held it tightly in his hand.

He looked up at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of determination and tenderness.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

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

He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

"Hey?"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss Mo, something bad has happened! At the company..."

Mo Han's face darkened. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Wen Nuan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Wen Nuan..." He spoke slowly, "It seems that things are more complicated than we thought." Mo Han held Wen Nuan's hand with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you." He immediately convened a meeting of the company's top management, and in front of everyone, he put the evidence of collusion between Sun and the small team on the table, and publicly declared his trust and support for Wen Nuan.

Sun Gaodian's face was pale and he was unable to refute. He could only watch himself being taken away by the security guards.

Mo Han's actions undoubtedly gave Wen Nuan a shot in the arm and also made those who spread rumors shut up.

After the meeting, Wen Nuan held Mo Han's hand tightly, her heart filled with gratitude and emotion.

Back in the office, Mo Han inserted the USB drive into the computer, and the copied confidential files appeared on the screen.

Wen Nuan looked at it carefully, frowning.

While these documents are important, they are not core secrets.

"Something's wrong," Wen Nuan muttered to herself, "They couldn't possibly put something so important in such an easy-to-find place." Mo Han also fell into deep thought, "Maybe this is just a cover to divert our attention."

Wen Nuan's brain was working rapidly, thinking about where the small team might have hidden the core secrets.

She remembered the panicked look on the minion's face before he ran away, and the "another plan" he mentioned.

"Another plan..." Wen Nuan chewed over this sentence over and over again. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and thought of a place - the private residence of Liu Xiao, the leader of the small team!

Liu Xiao is a cautious person and never brings important items to the company easily. His private residence is undoubtedly the safest place.

"Mo Han," Wen Nuan said hurriedly, "I think I know where the core secret is!" Mo Han looked at her, her eyes full of anticipation. "Where is it?" Wen Nuan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Liu Xiao's private residence."

Mo Han immediately arranged for people to go to Liu Xiao's residence to search.

However, when they arrived, they found that Liu Xiao's residence was already empty.

The room was in a mess. All valuables had been taken away, leaving only some insignificant items.

Wen Nuan looked at the empty room and felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"It seems we are a step late..." Mo Han's voice was low and hoarse.

The warm gaze fell on an inconspicuous photo frame on the desk, which contained a photo of Liu Xiao and a strange man.

On the back of the photo, written in elegant handwriting, were two lines of words: "The mountain storm is about to come, the wind is blowing in the building, the guest in the forest of the past is no longer there."

Wen Nuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and she grabbed the photo frame, her fingertips trembling slightly.

"Mo Han..." Her voice trembled, "I think... I know who is behind all this..."
