Chapter 97: The Secret of Life is Finally Revealed: All Grudges are Cleared
Dr. Chen's violent cough echoed in the ward, and a shrill alarm sounded.
Nurses and doctors rushed in quickly and separated Wen Nuan and Mo Han.
Wen Nuan watched helplessly as Dr. Chen was pushed into the emergency room, and a feeling of powerlessness washed over her like a tide.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"How could this happen..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, her eyes empty.
Does the clue end here?
Mo Han held her in his arms, gently stroking her back, trying to give her some comfort.
There was a barely perceptible chill hidden in his deep gaze.
This matter was more complicated than he had imagined.
After sitting on the bench in the hospital corridor for a long time, the warm thoughts gradually calmed down.
She began to re-sort out the known clues: Dr. Chen's accusations, the mysterious documents, and his last words...
"Be careful...they...are just around the corner..." Who are they?
Right there?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Wen Nuan's mind.
Doctor Chen pointed out the window, out the window...
The building opposite!
Wen Nuan stood up suddenly, a strong premonition coming over her.
She immediately pulled Mo Han out of the hospital and walked towards the building opposite.
This is an old residential building that looks unremarkable.
Wen Nuan found the target according to the floor and room number she remembered.
I knocked on the door and an old woman with gray hair appeared at the door.
She looked at Wen Nuan and Mo Han warily, her eyes full of confusion.
"Excuse me, who are you..." Wen Nuan asked tentatively.
The old woman looked them up and down and said slowly, "Who are you looking for?"
"We're here to look for..." Wen Nuan paused and took a deep breath, "to look for the nurse who gave birth to my mother."
The old woman's eyes instantly became complicated, flashing with indescribable emotions.
She was silent for a moment, and finally stepped aside to let them into the house.
A faint smell of medicine filled the dim room.
The old woman walked tremblingly to the table and took out a yellowed envelope from the drawer.
"This is..." Wen Nuan took the envelope, her heart beating faster.
The old woman sighed and said in a low voice: "Back then, I took the money and concealed something..."
Wen Nuan couldn't wait to open the envelope, and inside was a folded note.
When she saw the contents of the note, her pupils suddenly constricted and the envelope in her hand fell to the ground.
"This...this is impossible..." she muttered to herself in disbelief.
Mo Han picked up the envelope and his face instantly turned gloomy after seeing the contents of the note.
The old woman looked at them with a hint of fear in her eyes.
"Now that you know the truth, just go away and don't come to me again..."
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock and anger.
"Who ordered you to do this?" Mo Han's voice was cold, with a hint of oppression.
The old woman flinched, not daring to look him in the eye.
"I can't tell you... I'll die if I tell you..."
Wen Nuan clenched her fists tightly, trying hard to control her emotions.
She knew that now was not the time to assign blame.
She needs to first figure out what kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this.
"Thank you for telling us this." Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
They left the old woman's house and returned to the car.
There was silence in the car, both of them lost in thought.
Suddenly, Mo Han's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly.
"Grandma?" He answered the phone with a respectful tone.
"Mo Han, where are you and Wen Nuan now?" Grandma Mo's voice sounded a little anxious.
"We are outside..." Mo Han hesitated and did not say the specific location.
"Come back quickly, I have something important to tell you!" Grandma Mo's tone left no room for doubt.
Mo Han hung up the phone and looked at Wen Nuan. "Grandma asked us to go back. It seems like there's something urgent."
Wen Nuan nodded, a sense of unease rising in her heart. "Okay, let's go back."
When Wen Nuan and Mo Han returned to the Mo family's old house, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
In the living room, several elders of the Mo family sat upright with gloomy faces.
Seeing them come in, the second uncle of the Mo family was the first to attack: "Wen Nuan, are you still investigating your background? What exactly do you want to do? Are you trying to drag the Mo family into this?"
"Uncle, I understand your concerns," Wen Nuan said calmly, yet with unquestionable determination, "but I must get to the bottom of the matter. This isn't just about me, it's also about my mother and everyone involved in this conspiracy."
"Ridiculous!" Aunt Mo shrieked. "You're just a discarded girl, abandoned by your family. What qualifications do you have to speak so arrogantly here? Who do you think you are?"
The warm eyes instantly turned cold, "Aunt, it doesn't matter who I am, what matters is the truth. I won't give up because of your obstruction."
Mo Han had been standing silently beside Wen Nuan. At this moment, he finally spoke, "Uncle, Aunt, please trust Wen Nuan. She knows her limits."
"How can she have any sense of propriety?" Second Uncle sneered. "How can she have any sense of propriety when she doesn't even know who her parents are? Mo Han, you are too naive!"
The argument escalated and was about to get out of control.
Grandma Mo, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, her deep voice carrying unquestionable authority: "Shut up!"
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Grandma Mo looked at Wen Nuan with a look of scrutiny in her eyes. "Wen Nuan, tell me why you insist on investigating this matter."
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and told Grandma Mo everything she had discovered during her investigation, as well as her doubts and speculations, without reservation.
Her tone was firm, her eyes were clear, and she didn't evade at all.
Grandma Mo listened quietly, and the expression on her face gradually became solemn.
She looked at Wen Nuan with a glimmer of admiration in her eyes.
"Good boy, grandma believes in you." She turned to the other members of the Mo family and said sternly, "From today on, no one is allowed to stop Wen Nuan from investigating the truth. If anyone dares to interfere, don't blame me for being rude!"
With the support of Grandma Mo, Wen Nuan felt relieved.
She knew that the road ahead would be more difficult, but she would not give up.
She will definitely find out the truth and give an explanation to all those who have been hurt.
Just then, Mo Han's phone rang again.
He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.
"It's Lawyer Lin..." He answered the phone, but before he could say anything, he heard Lawyer Lin's urgent voice: "Mr. Mo, something happened! The witness we found... is dead!"
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
The death of the witness was undoubtedly a huge blow, but it also made her more determined to find out the truth.
She immediately contacted Lawyer Lin, and the two met in the Mo family's study and laid out all the known clues and information on the table, including Dr. Chen's testimony before his death, the envelope provided by the mysterious old woman, and the witness's manner of death.
"It seems someone doesn't want us to know the truth." Lawyer Lin pushed his glasses and said solemnly, "And this person is ruthless and has a huge influence."
Wen Nuan nodded, her eyes fixed on the documents on the table, her gaze sharp.
"The more they try to cover it up, the more important it is to tell the truth."
The two began to analyze every detail one by one, trying to find the connections and loopholes.
Time passed minute by minute, and the study was silent, with only the sound of flipping papers and the two people's low discussions.
The night outside the window deepens, and the city lights are like stars, twinkling with a hazy light.
Wen Nuan rubbed her sore eyes, looked up, and saw Mo Han standing at the door with a cup of hot milk in his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work." Mo Han walked over to Wen Nuan and handed her the milk, his eyes filled with heartache. "Don't be too tired, make sure to rest."
Wen Nuan took the milk and felt the warmth of Mo Han's palm, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired yet."
Mo Han hugged Wen Nuan gently and whispered in her ear: "No matter what happens, I will be by your side and support you."
Wen Nuan leaned in Mo Han's arms, feeling his warm embrace, her heart filled with strength.
She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would not be alone.
Lawyer Lin looked at the two of them, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.
He cleared his throat, breaking the warmth of the moment, "We seem to have overlooked a key person..."
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked up at the same time and looked at Lawyer Lin. "Who?"
Lawyer Lin pointed his finger at a photo on the table. The photo showed a middle-aged woman with a kind face.
"Warm mother..."
The warm pupils suddenly constricted, and an inexplicable uneasiness surged in my heart.
She has always believed that her mother was an innocent victim, but now she begins to wonder if her mother is hiding some secrets...
"My...my mother?" Wen Nuan's voice trembled a little.
Lawyer Lin nodded. "Based on the information we currently have, your mother was most likely not forced to abandon you, but rather had other hidden reasons..."
Wen Nuan's mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined together, making her feel suffocated.
She stood up suddenly, spilling the milk in her hand. The white liquid spilled onto the table, just like her confused heart at the moment.
"I'm going to find her!" Wen Nuan said in a firm tone, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
Mo Han grabbed Wen Nuan's hand and said, "Wait, it's not the right time yet..."
"But……"
"Believe me," Mo Han held the warm hand tightly, his eyes deep, "I will go with you."
Lawyer Lin looked at the two of them, wanting to say something but hesitant, and ultimately said nothing.
He picked up the documents on the table with a complicated look in his eyes.
"And one more thing……"
Lawyer Lin pushed up his glasses, a cold gleam reflecting from the lenses. "We've found out that Wen Nuan's biological family wasn't simply favoring boys over girls back then..." He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "They were involved in a commercial fraud case. They abandoned Wen Nuan to protect her and to cover up the truth."
Wen Nuan was stunned. This truth was like a bolt from the blue, making her dizzy.
She had always thought that she was abandoned and a disgrace to the family, but now, she had become the object of their protection?
This was difficult for her to accept for a while.
"More importantly," Lawyer Lin continued, "this commercial fraud case involves a larger interest group, and this group is still active today." He handed a document to Wen Nuan, "This is the evidence we found, proving that your mother was forced to sign an agreement giving up all custody rights and promising never to contact you again."
Wen Nuan took the document and flipped through it tremblingly. Every word on it pierced her heart like a needle.
She finally understood the helplessness and pain her mother had felt back then.
"If this document were made public," Lawyer Lin said in a low voice, "it would not only clear your mother's name, but also expose the crimes of that particular interest group, and even secure substantial compensation for you."
The warm heart beats violently.
This is an opportunity to change her destiny, an opportunity for her to completely break away from the past and start anew.
But the figure of Mo Han, the warm scene of the Mo family's old house, and the kind smile of Grandma Mo appeared in her mind.
She took a deep breath and slowly closed the file.
"No," she said firmly, "I can't do this."
Mo Han held the warm hand, his eyes full of admiration.
"I know this is hard for you, but you're doing the right thing."
Lawyer Lin was a little surprised, but then he understood Wen Nuan's choice.
"I respect your decision."
"The truth is certainly important," Wen Nuan looked at Lawyer Lin with clear eyes, "but family ties and harmony are even more important. I can't put my mother and family in danger for my own benefit."
"But, those who hurt you..." Lawyer Lin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wen Nuan.
"I will make them pay the price in my own way." Wen Nuan's tone was calm, but with unquestionable firmness.
At this moment, a servant hurried into the study, "Master, Madam, there is a lady outside the door. She says she is... she says she is Miss Wen Nuan's mother."
Wen Nuan stood up suddenly and the documents in her hand fell to the ground.
She felt like her breathing was about to stop and her heart was beating violently in her chest.
Mo Han supported Wen Nuan and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
She looked at Mo Han, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Let's... go out and take a look."
The three of them walked out of the study and came to the living room.
A middle-aged woman stood at the door, thin and pale, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Seeing Wen Nuan, the woman rushed over, hugged her tightly, and burst into tears: "Child... my child..."
His warm body froze, not knowing how to react.
She felt like her heart was in turmoil, with all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making her almost suffocate.
"You... are really my mother?" The warm voice trembled and was almost inaudible.
The woman raised her head, looked at Wen Nuan with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Yes... I am... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Warm tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged her mother tightly, feeling the belated maternal love.
"Back then...back then..." The woman wanted to explain, but she broke down in tears.
"Mom..." Wen Nuan gently patted her mother's back, "I know... I know..."
At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door, "It seems that we have come at the right time..." Several men in black walked in and surrounded Wen Nuan and her mother.
