Chapter 340: Seeking the Truth: The Source of the Rumor Begins to Be Uncovered
Wen Nuan pushed open the office door, and a gust of stagnant air hit her in the face.
The usually bustling office area was now unusually quiet. The employees were busy working, but they cast subtle glances at her when she passed by.
There was inquiry, suspicion, and even a bit of...
Gloating over other people's misfortunes?
Wen Nuan took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and walked towards her office.
The rumors were like an invisible net that tightly wrapped around her and made her feel suffocated.
After closing the door, Wen Nuan slowly slid down with her back against the cold wooden door and sat down weakly on the floor.
She knew that explanations were futile and that rumors were like wildfire; once they started, they would be difficult to extinguish.
She needs to find the source to completely solve the problem.
At this moment, the phone vibrated and an anonymous text message popped up: "Want to find out the truth? See you at the usual Starbucks at 10 o'clock tonight." My warm heart skipped a beat. Is it a trap or hope?
She hesitated for a moment and finally replied with one word: "Okay."
At the same time, Mo Han sat in the office on the top floor, tapping his fingertips on the table, his deep gaze fixed on the bustling city night scene outside the window.
Secretary Zhou stood aside, reporting on the progress of the investigation. "Mr. Mo, it seems the rumor has spread widely, and both internal employees and external competitors appear to be involved."
Mo Han nodded slightly. "What's going on with Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors?"
"Lin's jealous employees have been in frequent contact with Chen's competitor recently, and the cash flow of Chen's competitor's company has been a bit abnormal recently." Secretary Zhou answered cautiously.
Mo Han sneered, "It seems they really can't wait." He picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Proceed as planned. Remember, you must protect her."
Wen Nuan arrived at Starbucks on time and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
Is this a prank?
Just as I was about to leave, a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask came out from the corner and said in a low voice, "Are you...Ms. Warm?"
Wen Nuan nodded cautiously.
The man took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to her: "Here is what you need." After that, he turned and disappeared into the crowd.
Wen Nuan held the USB drive tightly, her heart beating faster.
What exactly is this?
Could this be the key to uncovering the truth?
After returning home, Wen Nuan inserted the USB drive into the computer, which contained only an encrypted file.
Just as she was about to try to crack it, Mo Han pushed the door open and walked in.
"What are you doing?" Mo Han walked behind her and his eyes fell on the computer screen.
"Someone gave me this." Wen Nuan said, pointing to the USB drive.
Mo Han narrowed his eyes slightly: "It seems that someone is more anxious than us." He reached out and held the warm hand: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Suddenly, a dialog box popped up on the computer screen, requiring a password to be entered.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, and an ominous premonition came over them.
"The password is..." A mechanical voice came from the computer and stopped abruptly.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han's hearts tightened. The sudden sound made them realize that they were being monitored!
Mo Han quickly unplugged the network cable, and the room fell into silence, with only the sound of each other's rapid breathing.
who is it?
Who is secretly controlling all this?
"It seems that we have underestimated our opponent." Mo Han broke the silence with a hint of solemnity in his tone.
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "Maybe, this is an opportunity." She restarted the computer and began to carefully check the system, trying to find any signs of intrusion.
Mo Han called up the company's internal surveillance video and reviewed it frame by frame, hoping to find some clues.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Wen Nuan's eyes. "I found it!" She pointed to a file on the screen and said, "The modification time of this file is very close to when the rumor began to spread, and the access records show that only Lin Jue has opened this file."
Mo Han immediately checked the account statements of Lin's jealous employees and indeed found an abnormal flow of funds, which was exactly the same as the recent expenditure amount of Chen's competitor's company.
The evidence is irrefutable. It is an indisputable fact that Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors worked together to spread rumors in an attempt to bring down Wen Nuan.
Mo Han walked behind Wen Nuan, gently stroked her hair, and said softly, "You did a good job." Wen Nuan felt the warmth of his palm, and a warm current surged in her heart.
His support and trust are her greatest motivation.
"What should we do next?" Wen Nuan raised her head with a firm gaze.
Mo Han's lips curled up into a confident smile: "Of course it's a counterattack."
The next day, Mo Han issued a statement in the name of the Mo Group, publicly condemning the malicious defamation of Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors, and reserved the right to pursue their legal liability.
Meanwhile, Mo Han submitted all the evidence he had collected to the police, who immediately launched an investigation into Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
People who were originally skeptical about warmth began to reflect, and those who once gloated over others' misfortune turned into admiration and sympathy.
Wen Nuan's position in the company gradually became stable, and employees began to trust and support her again.
Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, however, both Wen Nuan and Mo Han knew that this was just the beginning.
The real mastermind behind this may still be hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
In the evening, in Mo Han's office, Secretary Zhou was reporting on his work.
She glanced at Wen Nuan secretly, with a hint of complicated emotions in her eyes.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mr. Mo, I...I have something to report to you."
"Speak." Mo Han flipped through the documents without raising his head.
Secretary Zhou took a deep breath and was about to speak when suddenly the office door was pushed open...
Uncle Mo stood at the door with a gloomy expression. He glanced sharply at Wen Nuan and Secretary Zhou, and asked with a hint of questioning in his tone, "What are you doing?"
Secretary Zhou was startled by the sudden interruption and almost dropped the documents in his hand.
She quickly explained, "Uncle Mo, I...I'm reporting to President Mo."
Uncle Mo's eyes fell on Wen Nuan, with a hint of suspicion: "What about you? What are you doing here?"
Wen Nuan met his gaze calmly and said firmly, "I'm assisting Mr. Mo in investigating the recent rumors."
Uncle Mo snorted coldly: "Investigation? I think you are covering up the truth!" His words were full of hostility, which made Wen Nuan feel a chill.
Mo Han raised his head and looked at Uncle Mo with cold eyes: "Uncle Mo, please be careful with your words. Wen Nuan is my wife."
Uncle Mo met Mo Han's gaze without fear. "Wife? Who knows if there's anything fishy going on? It's all over the place now. Don't you have any suspicions at all?"
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions: "Uncle San, the innocent will be innocent."
Uncle Mo sneered: "The truth? I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin!" He turned and left, leaving behind a warning look.
The appearance of Uncle Mo made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.
Secretary Zhou glanced at Wen Nuan secretly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
She knew that Uncle Mo had a certain say in the family, and his suspicion would put a lot of pressure on Wen Nuan.
However, Wen Nuan was not intimidated by Uncle Mo's threats.
She became more determined to find out the truth.
She began to investigate more deeply, not missing any clues.
Meanwhile, Lin becomes restless as his jealous employees become aware of Wen's investigation.
He was worried that his crimes would be exposed, so he began to spread new rumors, trying to confuse the public and interfere with Wen Nuan's investigation.
These new rumors are more vicious and outrageous, making Wen Nuan's situation even more difficult.
But she did not give up. She believed that as long as she persisted, she would find the truth.
Secretary Zhou saw Wen Nuan's efforts and secretly admired her.
She began to secretly collect some small clues for Wen Nuan.
Although these clues are small, they are crucial and can help Wen Nuan find the truth faster.
One night, Secretary Zhou secretly placed a file bag on the warm desk and then quietly left.
Wen Nuan opened the file bag, which contained some information about Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors.
Although this information is not enough to prove their guilt, it can provide Wen Nuan with some new investigative directions.
Wen Nuan looked at the information and felt grateful.
She knew that Secretary Zhou was taking a risk to help her.
She became even more determined to find out the truth and not let Secretary Zhou down.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open...
A familiar voice rang out: "Wu Nuan, what are you doing?"
The elder of the Wu family walked in with a serious tone.
Wen Nuan quickly closed the file bag, looking a little flustered.
Elder Wu's sharp eyes swept over her and then fell on the file bag on the table: "What is this?"
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "It's just some work documents."
Elder Wu obviously didn't believe it. He walked to the table and reached for the file bag.
Wen Nuan subconsciously blocked it, and this subtle action deepened Elder Wu's suspicion.
He snatched the file bag, opened it, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"These are the materials about Lin's jealous employees and Chen's competitors? Are you investigating them?" Elder Wu said in a cold tone.
Wen Nuan did not deny: "Yes"
Elder Wu sneered, "What evidence do you have?"
Wen Nuan told Elder Wu all the clues she had, including the abnormal cash flow of Lin's jealous employees and the information provided by Secretary Zhou.
After listening to this, Elder Wu was silent for a moment, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He was originally full of doubts about Wen Nuan, but seeing how seriously she investigated, his attitude began to waver.
"Even if they spread rumors, they might not be directed at you." Elder Wu's tone softened.
"No, I suspect there is someone behind them directing them." Wen Nuan said in a firm tone.
Elder Wu frowned: "There are others? You mean..."
Wen Nuan didn't say the name directly, but she knew that Elder Wu had guessed what she was thinking.
Just then, Mo Han pushed the door open, saw this scene, and immediately understood what had happened.
He walked to Wen Nuan, held her hand, and gave her a reassuring look.
"Uncle San, Wen Nuan is just trying her best to find out the truth." Mo Han said calmly.
Uncle Mo also walked in. Seeing Mo Han and Wen Nuan standing together, his face became even gloomier.
He snorted coldly: "The truth? I think you are covering up the truth!"
"Uncle San, please believe in Wen Nuan." Mo Han said in a firm tone.
Uncle Mo was about to say something, but was interrupted by Elder Wu: "Okay, stop arguing. I will investigate this matter myself."
Elder Wu's intervention eased the tense atmosphere somewhat.
He put away the briefcase, turned around and left the office.
Uncle Mo looked at Wen Nuan deeply and left as well.
Only Mo Han and Wen Nuan were left in the office.
Mo Han gently stroked the warm hair and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wen Nuan shook her head, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes: "I will definitely find out the truth."
She turned her computer back on and continued her investigation.
Suddenly, she discovered that some important files were encrypted and required a password to open.
"Strange, these files were not encrypted before..." Wen Nuan said to herself.
Mo Han walked behind her and looked at the encrypted file on the screen, his eyes narrowed slightly: "It seems that we underestimated our opponent..." He reached for the phone and dialed a number, "Help me check this encryption method..."
