Chapter 355: Family Undercurrents: A Sudden Danger
Wen Nuan quietly came to the company's confidential department, and a strange smell filled the air.
She keenly noticed that several important filing cabinets seemed to have been moved, and their positions were slightly different from what she remembered.
Although subtle, it was enough to set off the warm alarm bells.
A feeling of uneasiness wrapped around her heart like a vine. She was almost certain that the Mo Group might have been infiltrated.
She calmly put the filing cabinet back to its original state and observed her surroundings calmly.
The surveillance cameras in the corridor were functioning normally, and everything seemed calm, but this eerie calmness only added to the warm suspicion.
She decided to start with Chen Baoan, who was responsible for the security of the confidential department.
"Security Chen, has there been any unusual situation in the confidential room recently?" Wen Nuan asked casually.
Chen Baoan, with his beer belly, waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mrs. Mo, you're worrying too much. Everything is fine here, it's impenetrable! I'm here, don't worry!"
There was a hint of perfunctoriness in his tone, which made Wen Nuan more certain of her judgment.
Chen Baoan's reaction was too relaxed, which made his attempt to cover up something even more obvious.
"Really?" Wen Nuan stared intently into Chen Baoan's eyes, her gaze as sharp as a torch. "But I just noticed that some of the documents seem to have been tampered with."
Chen Baoan's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He laughed and said, "Mrs. Mo, you must have seen it wrong. With so many documents coming in and out every day, it's normal to have some confusion!"
"Chen Baoan, I hope you can take this matter seriously," the warm voice turned cold. "This concerns the safety of the entire Mo family. I hope you understand the seriousness of the matter."
The smile on Chen Baoan's face froze. He didn't expect Wen Nuan to be so persistent.
He stammered, "Mrs. Mo, I really...didn't notice anything unusual."
Wen Nuan ignored Chen Baoan's explanation. She turned and left the confidential room, leaving Chen Baoan standing there alone with a gloomy expression.
Wen Nuan knew that this path was not feasible and she needed to find another way.
A name emerged in her mind - Mo Xiaowu.
"Maybe, we can start with him..." Wen Nuan whispered to herself.
Wen Nuan decided to start with Mo Xiaowu.
However, when she began to inquire about Mo Xiaowu indirectly, she found that he was as impenetrable as a solid wall.
In the family, from the elders to the servants, everyone's evaluation of Mo Xiaowu is surprisingly consistent: honest, hardworking, and loyal to the family.
"Xiao Wu, that child is such a good kid. He has been sensible and obedient since he was young, unlike some people..." Director Zhou looked at Wen Nuan meaningfully, with something hidden in his words.
Wen Nuan smiled calmly and continued, following Director Zhou's words, "Yes, Brother Xiaowu has helped me a lot in the company. He is indeed a reliable person."
She sneered in her heart, the more perfect something is, the more suspicious it is.
Does such a "perfect" person really exist?
Just when Wen Nuan was at a loss, Mo Xiaowu actually took the initiative to find her.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you have been investigating the company's affairs recently?" Mo Xiaowu asked with concern, with a hint of subtle inquiry in his eyes.
Wen Nuan's heart trembled, but she pretended to be relaxed: "Ah, nothing, just looking around. The company is so big, I have to understand the situation."
"Sister-in-law, you really do your best," Mo Xiaowu praised. "Big brother is so lucky to marry you."
Wen Nuan suppressed the discomfort in her heart, exchanged a few words with Mo Xiaowu, and tentatively asked about some unusual situations in the company recently.
Mo Xiaowu answered fluently and flawlessly, without revealing any flaws.
"Sister-in-law, if you need any help, just tell me and I will do my best." Before leaving, Mo Xiaowu patted Wen Nuan's shoulder meaningfully.
Wen Nuan looked at Mo Xiaowu's departing back, and her doubts deepened.
Is Mo Xiaowu really innocent, or is he just acting?
Back in the office, Wen Nuan rubbed his temples and felt tired.
Just then, Secretary Lin knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mrs. Mo, Mo Xiaowu asked me to give you this document." Secretary Lin placed a document on the warm desk.
Wen Nuan took the document and flipped through it casually. It was a report on the company's latest project.
She calmly put the documents away and said to Secretary Lin, "I understand. You can go down."
After Secretary Lin left, Wen Nuan opened the document again and looked through it carefully.
Suddenly, her eyes focused and she found a line of inconspicuous small words at the end of the document...
"Mr. Wu, everything went well."
My warm heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
"Boss Wu..." She murmured to herself. It seemed like she had heard this name somewhere before...
"Knock Knock Knock-"
A knock on the door interrupted my warm thoughts.
She looked up and saw Mo Han standing at the door, his eyes full of concern.
"What's wrong?" Mo Han noticed the strangeness in Wen Nuan, walked to her side and asked softly.
Wen Nuan took a deep breath and handed the document in her hand to Mo Han: "Look at this."
Mo Han took the document, glanced through it quickly, and his expression became solemn.
"Boss Wu...is he the boss of Wu's competitor?"
Wen Nuan nodded: "I suspect that Mo Xiaowu is colluding with the boss of Wu's competitor."
Mo Han held Wen Nuan's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, I will find out everything." Wen Nuan felt the strength from Mo Han's palm and felt a little relieved.
In order not to alert the enemy, Mo Han decided to investigate Mo Xiaowu secretly.
He arranged for someone to secretly follow Mo Xiaowu and retrieved the company's internal surveillance video.
A few days later, late one night, Wen Nuan, accompanied by Mo Han, quietly came to Mo Xiaowu's office.
The corridor was empty, with only dim light shining on the ground, making it look particularly gloomy.
Suddenly, a ray of light came through the crack of the office door.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, held their breath, and approached cautiously.
In the office, Mo Xiaowu was talking in a low voice with a mysterious man with his back to the door.
Due to the angle, Wen Nuan couldn't see the man's face clearly, only a vague outline.
"How are things going?" asked the mysterious man in a low and hoarse voice.
"Everything is going according to plan," Mo Xiaowu said with a hint of pride. "Soon, the Mo family will be ours."
"Very good," the mysterious man nodded with satisfaction. "Remember, don't reveal any flaws."
"Don't worry," Mo Xiaowu smiled sinisterly, "I have arranged everything."
After the mysterious man left, Mo Xiaowu walked to the window, looked at the night view downstairs, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han hid in the dark and heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Although she couldn't see the mysterious man's face clearly, it was enough for Wen Nuan to be sure that there was indeed something wrong with Mo Xiaowu.
Just then, a figure walked over from the other end of the corridor.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han quickly hid in the storage room next door and observed the situation outside through the crack in the door.
The person who came was Director Zhou. He walked straight to the door of Mo Xiaowu's office and knocked gently.
"Who?" Mo Xiaowu asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Lao Zhou." Director Zhou's voice sounded outside the door.
Mo Xiaowu opened the door and saw that it was Director Zhou. A hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Director Zhou, why are you here so late?"
Director Zhou walked into the office, closed the door behind him, and said in a low voice, "Xiaowu, your recent behavior has been a little unusual. I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation." Mo Xiaowu's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Director Zhou, what do you mean by that? I've always worked diligently for the company. How can I say anything unusual?" Director Zhou's eyes were sharp as he stared into Mo Xiaowu's: "Xiaowu, you can't hide it from me. You've been in frequent contact with people from the Wu Group recently. What's going on? You'd better tell me the truth." Mo Xiaowu's eyes flickered, avoiding Director Zhou's gaze: "Director Zhou, you must have misunderstood. I have no contact with the Wu Group."
Wen Nuan and Mo Han, who were hiding in the utility room, heard this conversation and became even more certain of Mo Xiaowu's suspicion.
Director Zhou seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Mo Xiaowu, but he did not have enough evidence to expose Mo Xiaowu's true identity.
The next day, Director Zhou found Wen Nuan and advised her earnestly: "Wen Nuan, I know you have been investigating the company's affairs recently, but I hope you can act cautiously and not easily suspect family members. A harmonious family is the key to success, and internal unity is more important than anything else." Director Zhou's words put Wen Nuan in a dilemma.
She knew the importance of family unity, but she could not ignore Mo Xiaowu's suspicious behavior.
Am I really overthinking it?
At the same time, Mo Xiaowu seemed to be aware of Wen Nuan's suspicion of him, and he began to speed up his plan to destroy Mo's enterprise.
He secretly modified the company's important financial statements and used Secretary Lin to pass some confidential information to the Wu Group.
Mo Xiaowu's every move is full of conspiracy and calculation. He is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to give the Mo family a fatal blow at any time.
Wen Nuan realized the seriousness of the situation and she had to find conclusive evidence as soon as possible to stop Mo Xiaowu's conspiracy.
She decided to start with Secretary Lin, perhaps she could find some clues.
Wen Nuan found Secretary Lin and asked with concern: "Secretary Lin, has your work been going well recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Secretary Lin replied a little nervously: "Everything... everything is fine. Thank you Mrs. Mo for your concern." Wen Nuan noticed Secretary Lin's abnormality, and she continued calmly: "Secretary Lin, I have been sorting out some documents recently, and found that there are some places I don't quite understand. Can you help me take a look?" Secretary Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Wen Nuan handed a document to Secretary Lin, her eyes closely watching her reaction.
Secretary Lin took the document and his face turned pale instantly...
"This...this document..."
