From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 557: The Mo Family's Love: Love and Treasure

Everyone in the Mo family gathered in front of the combination lock, and the atmosphere was solemn.

On the combination lock, ancient and mysterious runes move like tadpoles, emitting a faint blue light, as if guarding some ancient secret.

Everyone looked at each other, all at a loss.

"These runes... I seem to have seen them somewhere..." Wen Nuan frowned slightly, trying hard to search for similar patterns in her mind.

However, her memory was as hazy as fog, and she couldn't grasp any clues.

Mo Han reached out and gently touched the cold rune, and a biting chill came from his fingertips.

"It seems that this combination lock is not an ordinary mechanism." There was a hint of solemnity in his tone, and a thoughtful gleam in his deep eyes.

At this time, a gray-haired archaeologist stepped forward and carefully observed the runes on the combination lock.

"Master, these runes seem to be somewhat similar to the ancient characters recorded in the ancient books of the Mo family." His voice trembled slightly, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

Mo Han's heart moved when he heard this.

He has been familiar with the ancient books of the Mo family since he was a child and has a deep understanding of ancient characters.

He immediately asked someone to fetch the family's treasured ancient books and carefully compared them with the runes on the combination lock.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make any sound, for fear of disturbing Mo Han's thoughts.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Mo Han's eyes.

"I understand!" He said excitedly, pointing to the runes on the combination lock. "These runes represent 'stars,' 'sun and moon,' and 'heaven and earth.'"

As Mo Han deciphered the code, the runes on the combination lock seemed to come alive, flashing with even brighter light.

Seeing this, everyone felt a glimmer of hope.

Mo Han continued to interpret the remaining runes. His speech became faster and faster, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"'Xingchen' represents the stars in the sky, 'sun and moon' represent the passage of time, and 'heaven and earth' represent the vastness of the universe..."

As Mo Han deciphered the code, the runes on the combination lock gradually became clearer.

Everyone seemed to be in a mysterious ancient world, feeling the charm of ancient civilization.

However, just when everyone thought the code was about to be solved, Mo Han suddenly stopped.

His brows were furrowed, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan asked with concern.

Mo Han pointed at the last few runes on the combination lock and said solemnly, "These runes... I've never seen them before..."

Wen Nuan walked to Mo Han and looked in the direction of his finger.

Those runes were like ghostly scribbles, twisted and weird, emitting an unsettling aura.

"What do these runes... mean?" Wen Nuan murmured to herself, her heart full of doubts.

Mo Han took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It seems that we need more time to study these runes..."

At this moment, the butler, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Master, I seem to have seen these runes somewhere before..." He paused, his gaze cast into the distance, as if lost in some memory...

"It's at..."

The butler suddenly raised his head, and a gleam of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

"It's in the notebook left by the old patriarch!" He tremblingly took out a yellowed notebook from his arms and opened it carefully.

The notes contained the same strange runes as those on the combination lock.

Everyone immediately gathered around, staring intently at the runes on the notebook.

The butler pointed to a few lines of text and explained, "The old patriarch once said that these runes represent an ancient language that can only be understood by those with special bloodlines."

Mo Han's heart skipped a beat.

The Mo family has a special bloodline passed down from generation to generation. Could it be...

Could it be that the key to unlocking the code lies with him?

He took a deep breath and pressed his finger on the combination lock according to the notes.

A strange energy surged from his fingertips and flowed towards the combination lock.

The runes on the combination lock began to flash and make a buzzing sound, as if responding to Mo Han's bloodline power.

However, just when everyone thought the password was about to be solved, the combination lock suddenly vibrated violently.

The alarm sounded shrilly, the red lights flashed wildly, and the whole room was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

"Oh no! The combination lock is about to self-destruct!" exclaimed the archaeologist.

"Stop it!" Mo Han's face changed and he immediately withdrew his fingers.

However, it was too late.

The runes on the combination lock began to twist and deform, making crackling sounds, as if it would explode at any time.

"What should we do?" Wen Nuan asked anxiously.

Mo Han frowned, his brain working rapidly.

He knew that if the combination lock self-destructed, the energy source would also explode, with disastrous consequences.

"Wait!" Wen Nuan suddenly thought of something. She pointed to another paragraph in the notebook and said, "It says here that if you encounter this situation, you can use a special rune combination to disable the self-destruct device."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked at the rune combination on the note.

However, these rune combinations appear to be disorganized and there is no pattern to be found.

"How...how do we try this?" The archaeologist looked confused.

Wen Nuan took a deep breath and said, "Let me try." She walked to the combination lock and stared at the strange runes.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then suddenly opened them and quickly pressed a series of seemingly unrelated runes on the combination lock with her fingers.

"What are you doing?" Mo Han exclaimed, "These rune combinations make no sense at all!"

Wen Nuan ignored Mo Han's questioning. Her fingers continued to fly on the combination lock, faster and faster, as if she was possessed.

The room was silent, save for the ticking of the combination lock and the sound of warm, rapid breathing.

"Wu Nuan..." Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of worry.

Suddenly, the warm fingers stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Mo Han with a mysterious smile on her lips.

"All right."

The red light on the combination lock gradually faded, replaced by a soft green light.

The ticking stopped and a line of small words appeared on the screen: The password has been partially cracked.

Everyone held their breath and watched the scene in disbelief.

Mo Han was stunned for a moment, then hugged Wen Nuan in his arms and whispered in her ear: "You are really my lucky star, Wen Nuan." His warm breath sprayed on Wen Nuan's ears, making her cheeks blush.

The Mo family members around them also showed relieved smiles and were happy for this couple who had gone through so many ups and downs.

"I... I was just trying my luck." Wen Nuan responded shyly, but her heart was beating like a drum.

Mo Han gently held up Wen Nuan's face, his deep eyes full of tenderness. "No," his voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying some kind of magic that made Wen Nuan irresistible.

He slowly lowered his head and gently kissed her warm lips.

It was a kiss full of love and gratitude, and also a promise, a promise to always protect her.

This kiss seemed particularly sweet and warm under the gaze of everyone.

The air is filled with the scent of happiness, as if time has stopped at this moment.

However, just as everyone was immersed in this joy, the green light on the combination lock suddenly flashed and made a "buzzing" sound.

The text on the screen also began to change, and a new line of text slowly emerged: "Activate the final defense mechanism..."

Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's body suddenly stiffen. He raised his head abruptly, staring intently at the words on the combination lock, a hint of uneasiness flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Wen Nuan noticed something was wrong and asked softly.

Mo Han didn't answer, but just held the warm hand tightly, with cold fingertips.

He turned to look at the butler, his tone heavy, "Did Grandpa mention anything about...the ultimate defense mechanism in the notes he left behind?"

The butler's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

With trembling hands, he opened the yellowed notebook again, reading carefully page by page, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Found it..." The butler said hoarsely, pointing to a paragraph of text on the notebook, "Here...it says here..."

He paused, his eyes filled with fear, "Once the final defense mechanism is activated... it will..."

The butler's trembling voice pierced the brief silence: "...will release the...mechanical behemoth that guards the energy source!"

Before he finished speaking, the ground began to shake and dust began to fly.

The wall behind the combination lock collapsed, and a huge monster slowly appeared in front of everyone.

It was a giant beast made entirely of metal, shining with a cold metallic luster, and its scarlet electronic eyes emitted a terrifying light.

It has sharp claws and huge fangs, as if it were a ferocious beast from ancient times, exuding a breath of destruction.

"Quick! Protect the young lady!" Mo Han protected Wen Nuan behind him and at the same time commanded the Mo family warriors to fight.

The Mo family warriors were well-trained and quickly formed a formation, with all kinds of advanced weapons aimed at the mechanical behemoth.

Laser beams, energy cannons, electromagnetic pulses, all kinds of attacks poured out like raindrops. However, the metal shell of the giant beast was indestructible, and these attacks only left shallow scratches on it.

The giant beast let out a deafening roar and swept out with its huge claws. Several Mo family warriors were unable to dodge and were knocked away in an instant. They fell heavily to the ground, and their lives were unknown.

"Damn it!" Mo Han cursed softly. He knew he couldn't just passively take the beating like this anymore.

He drew a special energy sword from his waist, and with a flash of his body, he rushed towards the giant beast like a ghost.

Mo Han was agile and nimble, dodging the giant beast's attacks while looking for its weaknesses.

The energy sword slashed through the giant beast's metal shell, emitting dazzling sparks, but still failed to cause any substantial damage.

"Where is its weakness?" Mo Han dodged the giant beast's attacks while carefully observing every part of it.

The monster's attacks became more and more fierce, and the Mo family warriors gradually became exhausted and suffered heavy casualties.

Mo Han's heart sank

At this moment, Wen Nuan suddenly shouted, "Mo Han, its eyes! Attack its eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Han suddenly looked up at the giant beast's scarlet electronic eyes.

Is it...

That's its weakness?

He took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy into the energy sword, leaped up, and stabbed towards the giant beast's eyes.

"Be careful!" Wen Nuan exclaimed.

The giant beast seemed to have sensed Mo Han's intention, and it swung its huge head suddenly to avoid Mo Han's attack.

Mo Han missed, lost his balance, and was about to be crushed by the giant beast's claws...

"Mo Han!" Wen Nuan opened her eyes wide in horror.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and pushed Mo Han away.

"Homeowner!"
