Chapter 424: The Dilemma Emerges: The Crisis Approaches Quietly
Wen Nuan suddenly sat up in bed, her pajamas soaked with cold sweat.
The threatening phone call lingered in her mind, like a taut string that could break at any time.
She looked at Mo Han who was sleeping beside her, hesitated for a moment, then gently got up, put on her coat and walked to the balcony.
The night breeze was cool, but it couldn't blow away the anxiety in her heart.
At the same time, undercurrents were surging within the Mo Group.
Several projects that were originally progressing smoothly suddenly ran into problems one after another, with the capital chain broken, partners breaching contracts, and reports of project losses flying onto Mo Han's desk like snowflakes.
Mo Han frowned, he keenly realized that this was not a simple accident.
The next morning, Wen Nuan noticed Mo Han's abnormality.
His face was gloomy, with a hint of fatigue between his brows.
Wen Nuan didn't ask any further questions, but just silently prepared breakfast for him.
At the dinner table, Mo Han finally spoke: "The company has had some problems recently."
Wen Nuan put down the cutlery in her hand and looked at him with concern: "Is it serious?"
Mo Han nodded, "Someone is behind this."
Wen Nuan didn't panic at all. Instead, she calmly analyzed the situation, "The recent events are too coincidental. Someone must be targeting us intentionally." Her eyes gleamed with determination, "We must investigate this as soon as possible."
In the next few days, Wen Nuan and Mo Han devoted almost all their energy to the investigation.
Wen Nuan demonstrated amazing business acumen and keen insight. She carefully analyzed every report and every piece of data, leaving no clues unturned.
Her calmness and decisiveness also helped the employees, who were originally a little panicked, gradually calm down.
With Wen Nuan's assistance, Mo Han quickly identified several suspicious projects and individuals.
They discovered that the people in charge of these projects had recently had contact with the same person – Zhang’s competitor.
And this competitor of Zhang is the one who cooperates with Chen Yu.
"It seems that our opponents have already started to act." Wen Nuan's tone was cold, and a hint of chill flashed in his eyes.
Mo Han took Wen Nuan into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
At this moment, Secretary Lin knocked on the door and came in, handing Mo Han a document in a panic: "Mr. Mo, something happened..."
The document Secretary Lin brought was a screenshot of an internal email. The content of the email was the core technical information of the latest product developed by the Mo Group, and the recipient was the company email address of Zhang's competitor.
Mo Han's face turned pale, and he slammed his fist on the desk. "Secretary Lin, immediately investigate the source of the leak!"
Secretary Lin retreated tremblingly.
Wen Nuan picked up the document fragments on the ground, pieced them together, and carefully checked the contents of the email.
She noticed that the account sending the email was not from a formal employee of the company, but a temporary intern account.
"How can an intern have access to core technical information?" Wen Nuan murmured to herself, and an uneasy premonition came over her.
Just then, the office door opened and Chen Yu walked in with a smile on his face. "Oh, what a coincidence, seeing you again, Wen Nuan." He deliberately ignored Mo Han's presence and walked straight to Wen Nuan, saying in a frivolous tone, "Long time no see. How are you?"
Mo Han's expression darkened instantly. He took a step forward, protecting Wen Nuan behind him, and said in a cold tone, "Chen Yu, what are you doing here?"
Chen Yu shrugged and said casually, "Is it not okay for me to come and see an old friend? Wen Nuan and I used to..."
"Shut up!" Mo Han shouted angrily, interrupting Chen Yu.
Wen Nuan sensed Mo Han's anger and quickly grabbed his hand, explaining softly, "Mo Han, don't get me wrong, he and I just happened to meet."
As if to deliberately provoke Mo Han, Chen Yu continued, "Wen Nuan, do you still remember the time when we watched the sunrise together at the beach? Back then..."
Mo Han could no longer control his anger. He grabbed Chen Yu by the collar and pushed him against the wall, "Get out of here!"
Chen Yu sneered and looked at Mo Han fearlessly, "Why, Mr. Mo, are you scared? Are you afraid that Wen Nuan will remember the past?"
Wen Nuan's heart sank suddenly, and she felt Mo Han's hand holding her tighten unconsciously.
She looked up at Mo Han, his eyes filled with pain and suspicion.
Chen Yu took the opportunity to break free from Mo Han's restraints, straightened his collar, turned around and left. Before leaving, he looked at Wen Nuan meaningfully, with a sinister smile on his lips.
The atmosphere in the office was suffocatingly heavy.
Mo Han let go of the warm hand, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked into the distance, and said nothing.
"Mo Han..." Wen Nuan walked to his side and called softly.
Mo Han did not respond, and his back looked particularly lonely.
Wen Nuan's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle. She knew that Chen Yu's appearance had already planted a seed of doubt in Mo Han's heart.
Just then, Wen Nuan's cell phone rang. It was Private Detective Sun calling.
"Ms. Wen, I found some information about Chen Yu..."
Private Detective Sun's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of mystery: "Ms. Wen, I found out that Chen Yu has been in close contact with a man named 'Black Snake' recently. This person has a complicated background and seems to be involved in some gray area business." "Black Snake?" Wen Nuan's heart shuddered. She had never heard of this name, but her intuition told her that this person was definitely not a good person.
"Any other clues?"
"That's all we have for now," Private Detective Sun said with a hint of resignation. "Black Snake is very cautious, and it's difficult to track his movements. But I'm still investigating, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
After hanging up the phone, my warm heart felt even heavier.
Chen Yu, Zhang's rival, Black Snake...
These people were like a huge net, approaching her and Mo Han step by step.
At the same time, Secretary Lin’s leak continues to ferment.
Although Secretary Lin has been fired, the technical information she leaked previously has caused huge losses to Mo's Enterprise.
Several important cooperation projects were forced to terminate and the stock price began to fall.
The board of directors' doubts about Mo Han grew louder and louder, and some even proposed removing him from his position as CEO.
Mo Han was under tremendous pressure. He worked overtime until late at night almost every day, and his face became more and more haggard.
The warmth is in my eyes and the pain is in my heart.
She wanted to comfort him and encourage him, but she found herself feeling extremely powerless.
In the evening, Mo Han returned home and fell exhausted on the sofa.
Wen Nuan silently made a cup of tea for him and placed it in front of him.
"Have some tea and take a rest."
Mo Han took the teacup, but did not drink it. He just held it quietly in his hand, looking ahead with empty eyes.
"Mo Han..." Wen Nuan called softly. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Mo Han suddenly turned his head and looked at Wen Nuan with complicated eyes, "Wen Nuan, do you believe me?"
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Mo Han to suddenly ask this question.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say "I believe", but couldn't.
The appearance of Chen Yu, the betrayal of Secretary Lin, and a series of changes in the company...
These things were like a fog, covering her heart and preventing her from seeing the truth.
Seeing Wen Nuan's hesitation, Mo Han's eyes dimmed.
He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the study, leaving Wen Nuan alone in the living room.
"Mo Han..." Wen Nuan chased to the door of the study, but stopped.
She looked at the closed door and felt an unprecedented sense of unease in her heart.
This time, she didn't just comfort Mo Han like before. She realized that she had to do something...
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the study.
Mo Han sat at the desk, holding a document in his hand, his brows furrowed.
He didn't seem to notice the warmth coming.
"Mo Han," the warm voice was firmer than ever before, "look at me."
Mo Han raised his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Do you believe me?" Wen Nuan looked straight into his eyes and asked word by word.
Mo Han was stunned. He didn't expect Wen Nuan to question him so directly.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"You hesitated," his warm tone was tinged with disappointment, "Do you really doubt me?"
Mo Han was shocked by her aura. He had never seen Wen Nuan so tough.
He wanted to explain, but found he had no idea where to start.
"I don't need your explanation," Wen Nuan interrupted him, "I just want to know whether you believe me or not."
Mo Han took a deep breath, his eyes gradually becoming firm, "I...I believe you."
A smile finally appeared on Wen Nuan's face. "Okay, since you trust me, let's face it together."
Wen Nuan did not pursue the doubts in Mo Han's mind. She knew that now was not the time to explain.
The top priority is to find out the mastermind behind this and resolve the current crisis.
"I've decided to take the initiative," Wen Nuan said firmly, "I'm going to Chen Yu to look for clues."
Mo Han's expression changed. "No, it's too dangerous! I can't let you take that risk."
"I know there's danger," he said, his warm eyes gleaming with determination. "But if we just keep on defending passively, it will only embolden the enemy. I must take the initiative to seize the initiative."
Mo Han wanted to persuade her again, but when he saw Wen Nuan's determined eyes, he knew he couldn't change her decision.
"Okay," Mo Han finally compromised, "I'll go with you."
"No," Wen Nuan shook her head, "You stay in the company and stabilize the situation. I'll go."
Mo Han wanted to say something else, but Wen Nuan had already turned and left the study.
As night fell, Wen Nuan changed into a black tights and quietly left the villa.
She did not tell Mo Han her specific plan, because she knew that Mo Han would definitely stop her.
Wen Nuan drove to Chen Yu's residence, a luxurious villa located on the outskirts of the city.
The villa is heavily guarded, with surveillance cameras and security personnel everywhere.
Wen Nuan parked the car in a secluded corner not far from the villa and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
She had to find a suitable time to sneak into the villa.
Just then, a black car drove into the gate of the villa.
Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat as she recognized it was Zhang's competitor's car.
"It seems like there's going to be something interesting to watch tonight," Wen Nuan said with a sneer on her face, "I hope you won't let me down."
Wen Nuan quietly approached the villa. She found a blind spot in the surveillance camera and climbed over the wall to enter the villa's garden.
She carefully avoided the patrolling security guards and walked towards the main building of the villa.
The lights in the villa were on and someone could be faintly heard talking.
Wen Nuan leaned against the wall and slowly approached the window, trying to hear the conversation inside.
“…It’s a pleasure to work with you…”
"...Mo Group..."
"……plan……"
The sound of intermittent conversations reached Wen Nuan's ears, but she couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation.
She had to find a way to get into the villa.
Wen Nuan walked around the villa and finally found a window that was not locked.
She gently pushed open the window and slipped into the villa.
The interior decoration of the villa was extremely luxurious. Wen Nuan carefully avoided the surveillance cameras in the corridor and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
She came to a tightly closed door, gently put her ear to it, and listened carefully to the movement inside.
“…Mo Han…”
"……warmth……"
Hearing these two familiar names, Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat.
She realized that there must be some important secret hidden behind this door.
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and reached out to hold the door handle...
"Who?!"
