From an abandoned girl to a wealthy lady

Chapter 74: Dangers Abound: Deep Internal Conflict

When Mo Han answered the call from Lawyer Wang, his expression grew increasingly gloomy, and the hand he was holding tightened unconsciously.

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Lawyer Wang said that reporter Zhao's report has been sent out."

Almost at the same time, Wen Nuan's phone also began to vibrate wildly, and the WeChat message notification sound kept ringing.

When she clicked on it, it was all negative news about her and Mo Han.

The title was sensational and the content was exaggerated, portraying her as a vain and scheming woman, and Mo Han as a naive person who was deceived by her.

"Oh, these netizens are really good at solving cases on the internet," Wen Nuan said with a self-deprecating laugh, but her heart felt like a huge rock was pressing down on her, making her feel a little breathless. "I haven't even officially entered the Mo family yet, and I've already experienced the treatment of being a 'rich man's wife'. Do you want this blessing?"

Mo Han hugged her in his arms, his tone gentle but firm: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything." A cold light flashed in his eyes, "If you dare to touch my people, be prepared to pay the price."

Mo Han is not a love-brained person. The reason he can hold the position of heir of the Mo family is not because of his family background and good looks, but because of his decisive style of doing things and his ability to strategize.

He quickly contacted the family's public relations team and began to control public opinion. At the same time, he also began to investigate the forces behind reporter Zhao.

In less than half a day, Mo Han had evidence that reporter Zhao accepted bribes and fabricated facts.

He did not make the evidence public directly, but sent it to those who were behind the scenes directing reporter Zhao through some "special channels".

"I heard that reporter Zhao has been 'unwell' recently and has 'resigned'?" Wen Nuan was scrolling through the news with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Mo Han chuckled and placed a kiss on her forehead: "Some people don't know what 'enough is enough' means unless they are taught a lesson."

However, the story does not end there.

Just when they thought the storm had subsided, Uncle Mo was at a high-level meeting of the family business...

……

He openly proposed to redistribute the power of the Mo family's enterprises, targeting Mo Han and Wen Nuan.

"What's going on online right now? My niece-in-law hasn't even married yet, and she's already ruined the Mo family's reputation. Who would dare to cooperate with us in the future?" Uncle Mo looked heartbroken, as if he was truly doing this for the Mo family's own good. "For the sake of the family's interests, I believe Mo Han is no longer suitable to continue serving as CEO!"

"Uncle, you're talking as if I've committed some heinous crime," Mo Han sneered, his eyes sharp as a knife. "Is this news true or false? Uncle, don't you have any idea? Who's behind this? Uncle, don't you know?"

"Mo Han, watch your words!" Uncle Mo slammed the table, his face livid. "I'm your uncle. You have no right to interrupt when the elders are talking!"

"Elder? Second Uncle, do you think you're worthy of even mentioning that word?" Mo Han retorted without a shred of timidity. "To fight for power and profit, he's willing to smear his own nephew and his wife. Such an elder is better off not having one!"

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense and full of gunpowder.

Other senior executives remained silent, fearing that they would be dragged into the vortex of this infighting among the wealthy family.

At this moment, Wen Nuan gently pulled the corner of Mo Han's clothes.

Mo Han turned around and saw Wen Nuan's worried eyes, and his heart softened.

He knew that Wen Nuan didn't want things to get too awkward between him and his family.

He held the warm hand in his backhand, giving her strength and also giving himself strength.

"Second Uncle," Mo Han's voice was still cold, but with a hint of determination, "You are not qualified to bring me down."

Seeing this, Uncle Mo San coughed lightly and spoke slowly...

"Ahem," Uncle Mo cleared his throat, looking like a good guy. "Second brother, Mo Han, both of you should be quiet. We're all family, why make such a fuss?" He turned to Mo Han and said earnestly, "Mo Han, I know you're young and impulsive, but Second Uncle is doing this for the good of the Mo family. Under the current circumstances, if you continue to serve as CEO, it will indeed affect the reputation of the Mo family. It's better to step back, stay out of the spotlight, and talk about it after this is over."

Mo Han sneered, "Third uncle is really good at playing the good cop. Staying out of the limelight? That's easy to say, but if I really retreat, will there be a place for me in the Mo family?" He held the warm hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, and his heart became more determined.

Wen Nuan stood quietly beside Mo Han, taking in all of Mo Sanbo's "peacemaker" behavior.

She had previously thought that Uncle Mo San was neutral, but now it seemed that he was just disguising himself better. In fact, he was in cahoots with Uncle Mo Er, hoping to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.

What an old fox!

It seems that this internal struggle is more complicated than she imagined.

Wen Nuan calmly included Uncle Mo Sanbo in the list of suspects.

The meeting ended in a bad mood.

Back in the study of the Mo family's old house, Wen Nuan and Mo Han began to organize their thoughts and look for a breakthrough.

"Since they dare to throw dirty water so blatantly, it means they have something to rely on." Mo Han frowned and tapped the table with his fingers, one by one, as if beating out some rhythm.

Wen Nuan nodded. "I always feel that they want to force us to hand over something, or... do something."

Suddenly, a warm gaze fell on an inconspicuous secret compartment on the bookshelf.

She walked over and pressed the button lightly, and the secret compartment opened.

There were some old documents inside, which seemed to be from a long time ago.

"What is this?" Mo Han also came over.

The two carefully took out the documents and looked through them one by one.

The contents of the documents are mostly about some business decisions and internal family agreements made by the Mo family in the early years.

"Wait..." Wen Nuan suddenly stopped and pointed at one of the documents, her expression slightly changed. "This document... seems to have some problems."

Mo Han leaned over to take a look, and his expression became serious.

The document recorded the whereabouts of a huge amount of money, but the recipient was an unfamiliar name, and there was no legal record of the transaction.

"It seems that we are one step closer to the truth..." Mo Han's voice was low and powerful.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the study door...

"Young Master, an old friend of the old man is here and says he has something important to discuss with you." The knock on the door interrupted the solemn atmosphere in the study.

Mo Han and Wen Nuan exchanged glances and quickly put the document back into the secret compartment.

"Come in." Mo Han said in a deep voice.

Steward Lin pushed the door open and walked in, respectfully reporting, "Young Master, Mr. Xu, an old friend of the old man, is here. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

Mr. Xu?

Mo Han's heart moved.

This Mr. Xu is the old man’s best friend. He also watched Mo Han grow up and is highly respected in the Mo family.

He came at this time, could it be...

"Please invite him in quickly." Mo Han said immediately.

A moment later, an old man with white hair and beard and a vigorous spirit walked in with the support of Butler Lin.

Old Mr. Xu patted Mo Han's shoulder kindly, his eyes fell on Wen Nuan again, and he nodded slightly.

"Mr. Xu, why are you here?" Mo Han stood up to greet him.

Old Mr. Xu waved his hand, motioning him to sit down. He then glanced around the study with a deep gaze and said slowly, "Mo Han, your grandfather passed away early, and there are some things he didn't have the time to tell you. Now that the Mo family is in constant internal strife, I really can't stand it anymore. There are some things that I should let you know."

Mr. Xu paused and lowered his voice: "Your second uncle and third uncle, they are just pawns..."

"Chess piece?" Mo Han and Wen Nuan looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this internal strife?

"That's right." Old Mr. Xu sighed. "There's someone behind the scenes manipulating all of this. This person is so well hidden that even your grandfather couldn't find out his background."

"Who is it?" Mo Han asked anxiously.

Old Mr. Xu shook his head and didn't answer directly. Instead, he said meaningfully, "Son, the Mo family has made quite a few enemies over the years... Some old debts must be repaid." He patted Mo Han's hand and said earnestly, "Son, be careful. Some enemies are much more powerful than you imagine..."

After saying that, Mr. Xu stood up and said goodbye, leaving Mo Han and Wen Nuan in the study, lost in thought.

"An old grudge... could it be..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, and suddenly thought of something, her face changed abruptly.

Mo Han also thought of the same possibility. He stood up suddenly, walked to the window, looked at the sky gradually darkening outside the window, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"It seems that we have to go..."
