Chapter 389: Solo Exploration: The Truth Approaches
The man's deep laughter echoed in the dim bar, as cold as a poisonous snake's tongue.
"Want to know the truth? Little girl, some truths will only make you miserable once you know them." He shook the red wine in his hand, and the scarlet liquid sparkled under the light, like solidified blood.
"Your every move is under my control, don't waste your energy."
Wen Nuan's heart tightened, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She forced herself to remain calm and smiled casually, "Really? Then I'd like to see what you can do to me."
However, in the next few days, Wen Nuan truly felt the weight of the man's words.
Wherever she went, she felt like a pair of eyes were watching her in the dark, making her feel uneasy.
Even when I met my mother, I felt like someone was watching me from a distance.
Her mother's hesitant look made her even more suspicious, as if some huge secret was being hidden.
The oppressive feeling of being watched made her almost breathless.
At the same time, Private Detective Lin finally made some progress.
He found the mysterious Zhao's residence - an unremarkable two-story building on the outskirts of the city.
After Wen Nuan got the address, she immediately decided to go there in person.
This was the closest she had ever been to the truth, and she had to seize this opportunity.
In the evening, Wen Nuan avoided everyone's sight and drove to the outskirts of the city alone.
It was quiet around the small building, with only a few unknown insect chirps echoing in the night sky.
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and quietly approached the small building. Through the window, she saw a man with his back to her, talking on the phone.
Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she intuitively determined that this person was the mysterious Zhao.
"Everything is going according to plan..." A man's deep voice came from inside the house, "...Remember, you must never let her know the truth..."
My warm heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came over me.
She was about to listen carefully when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Wu Nuan, what are you doing?" Private Detective Lin appeared behind her at some point and looked at her in surprise.
Wen Nuan was startled by the sudden sound and almost fell down in panic.
She steadied herself and turned around to see Mo Han standing behind her with a gloomy face, his eyes full of suspicion and anger.
"I..." She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.
Mo Han took a few steps forward, grabbed Wen Nuan's wrist, and said in a cold tone: "Are you following me?" He misunderstood Wen Nuan's whereabouts and thought she was monitoring him.
"No, listen to my explanation..." Wen Nuan wanted to explain anxiously, but was rudely interrupted by Mo Han.
"Explain? What else is there to explain? You are sneaking around with this private detective, what on earth do you want to do?" Mo Han's anger grew more and more intense. He remembered that Wen Nuan had been in frequent contact with private detective Lin recently, and jealousy welled up in his heart.
"I'm not following you, I'm here for something..." Wen Nuan tried to break free from Mo Han's grip, but he held her tighter.
"Something? What's going on? Are you here to investigate me?" Mo Han's tone was filled with sarcasm. "Wen Nuan, what do you think of me?"
Wen Nuan's heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. She wanted to tell Mo Han the truth, but she was afraid that he would be involved in this dangerous vortex.
She had no way of expressing her pain and could only silently endure Mo Han's misunderstanding and anger.
The fierce quarrel between the two alarmed the mysterious Zhao in the house.
He walked to the window and saw the scene outside, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "There's a change of plan, speed up the process."
Wen Nuan was dragged away from the small building by Mo Han. She looked back, her heart filled with resentment and helplessness.
Back in the car, Mo Han was still angry. He started the car without saying a word and brought Wen Nuan back home.
Along the way, Wen Nuan's mind kept flashing back to the sweet past with Mo Han. Those memories that once made her feel happy now felt like sharp knives, piercing her heart.
She became even more confused about their relationship and didn't know how to continue this marriage.
After returning home, Mo Han slammed the door and left, leaving Wen Nuan alone in the empty room.
She slumped weakly on the sofa, tears silently streaming down her face.
Suddenly, she remembered that Private Detective Lin was still in the suburbs. She quickly called him, but no one answered.
An ominous premonition came over her, and she stood up suddenly, grabbed her coat and rushed out of the house.
At the same time, Chen, an employee of the company, was getting ready to leave work. When he passed by the document room, he accidentally saw a document dropped on the ground.
He picked up the document and found the word "warmth" written on it.
He thought of the sneaky woman he saw in the reference room during the day, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious...
He hesitated for a moment, and finally made a phone call: "Mr. Sun, I think I found something..."
Wen Nuan drove quickly, anxiously rushing to the small building on the outskirts of the city.
When she arrived, the small building was dark and empty.
Private Detective Lin also disappeared, leaving behind only a few drops of dark red blood, which looked particularly glaring in the night.
Wen Nuan's heart sank to the bottom, and a feeling of fear surrounded her.
At the same time, in the old house of the Mo family.
After receiving a call from Chen Enterprise employees, members of the Sun family immediately sent someone to investigate Wen Nuan's situation in the company.
I originally thought that she was doing something secretly again, but I found that Wen Nuan's work was completed in an orderly manner, even exceeding expectations.
This slightly reduced the Sun family members' suspicion of Wen Nuan, but they still remained vigilant. After all, Wen Nuan's previous behavior was too suspicious.
Wen Nuan suppressed her inner fear and sneaked into the mysterious man Zhao's residence again.
She searched every corner carefully, hoping to find some clues.
Finally, she found a locked wooden box in the secret compartment of the study.
After much effort, he opened the wooden box, revealing a stack of yellowed letters.
Wen Nuan opened the letter with trembling hands and found that the content was written in a special code.
She realized that these letters might be related to the mystery of her life experience.
Wen Nuan immediately took a picture of the letter, put it back where it belonged, and quickly left the building.
She must find a way to crack the code as soon as possible and unlock the secrets in the letter.
After returning home, Wen Nuan stayed up all night, pondering over the letter and photo on the computer.
She tried various decryption methods, but all ended in failure.
Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly remembered that Mo Han had mentioned an ancient encryption method.
The next morning, Wen Nuan found Mo Han, showed him the photo of the letter, and asked him how to decrypt it.
Mo Han looked at the password on the photo, frowned, and fell into deep thought.
"This encryption method is very rare," Mo Han said slowly. "I once saw it in an ancient book, but I can't remember the specific decryption method."
Wen Nuan's heart sank again. Was she going to miss the truth again?
"However," Mo Han changed the subject, "I might know someone who can crack this code."
A glimmer of hope ignited in her warm eyes, and she asked eagerly, "Who?"
Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan with a complicated expression and slowly uttered a name: "My...grandfather."
Wen Nuan was stunned. She had never expected that the key person to solve the mystery of her life experience would be the person in charge of the Mo family.
"Wen Nuan, I hope you understand," Mo Han said in a serious tone, "some truths may be more cruel than you can imagine."
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and said firmly, "No matter what the truth is, I must know it."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Wen Nuan opened the door and saw...
Her mother's face was pale, her lips were trembling, and her eyes were full of fear.
"Warmth..." Mother's voice trembled, "I... I saw..."
Wen Nuan's mother held Wen Nuan's hand tightly and said tremblingly: "I... I saw Detective Lin... he... he..." Wen Nuan's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Mom, please tell me slowly, what happened to Detective Lin?" The mother took a deep breath and said tremblingly: "He... he was... taken away... by several men in black... very scary..." Wen Nuan's face turned pale in an instant. She bit her lips tightly, trying to control her emotions.
She knew that Detective Lin's disappearance must be related to the mysterious Zhao and the mystery of his life that she was investigating.
Seeing Wen Nuan in so much pain, the mother felt even more tormented.
She knew some things, some secrets about Wen Nuan's life experience, but she didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that those terrible people would take revenge on her and her daughter.
She hugged the warmth tightly, tears silently sliding down her face.
"Wu Nuan, please stop checking, please stop checking..."
Wen Nuan understood her mother's fear. She patted her mother's back gently and comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid. I will protect you." But she was more determined in her heart. She had to find out the truth, for herself and for her mother.
Wen Nuan finds Mo Han again and asks him to help find the whereabouts of Detective Lin.
Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan's anxious expression with a complicated look in his eyes, but finally agreed.
He used his connections to secretly investigate the disappearance of Detective Lin.
Meanwhile, Wen Nuan continued to try to crack the code of the letter.
She tried everything she could think of, but still made no progress.
As time passed, she became more and more anxious.
She knew that the mysterious Zhao would not give her much time, and she had to find the answer as soon as possible.
Mo Han seemed to be planning something as well.
He made frequent phone calls and his whereabouts became mysterious.
Wen Nuan noticed that Mo Han was acting strangely, but she didn't ask any further questions. She believed in Mo Han and believed that he would protect her.
One night, Mo Han brought Wen Nuan to an antique study.
"This is my grandfather's study," Mo Han said, "perhaps you can find the answers you seek here."
Wen Nuan walked into the study, looked around, and found that the bookshelves were filled with various ancient books.
Mo Han walked to an inconspicuous corner, moved a heavy bookcase, and revealed a hidden compartment.
In the secret compartment was an ancient wooden box with intricate patterns carved on it.
Mo Han opened the wooden box, and inside was an ancient parchment scroll.
He unfolded the scroll, which was densely covered with various symbols and words.
"What is this?" Wen Nuan asked curiously.
Mo Han looked at the scroll with a deep gaze, and said slowly, "This is... the key to unlocking the mystery of your life."
He handed the scroll to Wen Nuan and said, "The answer is here, go find it yourself."
Wen Nuan took the scroll, her heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.
She knew this might be her last chance and she had to seize it.
Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open, and an old voice came: "What are you doing?"
Mo Han and Wen Nuan turned around at the same time and saw the person standing at the door...
Han's grandfather, the real ruler of the Mo family.
The old man leaned on a cane, his eyes sharp as he looked at the scroll in Wen Nuan's hand. He said in a cold tone, "Hand it over..."
