Chapter 386: The Mystery of Life: Ambiguity and Crisis Intertwined
Wen Nuan clutched the photo tightly, her tone unquestionable: "I have to go. This concerns my life experience." Mo Han looked at her determined eyes and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The night was dark, and the shadow of the abandoned warehouse looked particularly hideous in the moonlight.
Wen Nuan's heart was beating fast, and she could feel the cold air around her, but she did not retreat and stepped into the warehouse door resolutely.
The warehouse was filled with the smell of dust, with old junk scattered everywhere and a lingering smell of decay in the air.
Wen Nuan illuminated the surroundings with a flashlight, carefully looking for any clues.
Suddenly, she found an iron box under a pile of debris.
I opened the box and found it was filled with yellowed documents.
Wen Nuan picked up a document and read it carefully by the light of the flashlight.
The content recorded in the document shocked her. It actually recorded a huge conspiracy, and the spearhead of this conspiracy was directly pointed at the Mo family enterprise!
Wen Nuan's breathing became rapid, and she realized that behind her life experience might be a secret that could shake the Mo family's business.
She continued to look through the documents and discovered that the conspiracy was actually related to a competitor of the Mo family's enterprise.
The other party seemed to have been plotting secretly, wanting to use Wen Nuan's background to attack the Mo family.
Wen Nuan's face turned pale. She knew that she had to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the warehouse.
Wen Nuan immediately became alert. She quickly put the documents back into the iron box, hid it, and hid behind a pile of miscellaneous items.
The warehouse door was pushed open and a figure walked in.
In the moonlight, Wen Nuan recognized that it was private detective Lin.
"Why are you here?" Wen Nuan asked in a low voice.
Private Detective Lin looked mysterious: "I found some new clues that may be helpful in investigating your background." He walked up to Wen Nuan and handed her an envelope, "Take a look for yourself."
Wen Nuan took the envelope, opened it and saw a photo inside.
There was a man in the photo. His face was a little blurry, but Wen Nuan recognized him at a glance - Zhao Yong!
"Who is he?" asked Private Detective Lin.
"A very important person..." Wen Nuan's tone was low, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the warehouse again.
This time the footsteps were heavier, and it seemed that there was more than one person.
"Someone is coming!" Private Detective Lin whispered.
"Let's go!" Wen Nuan grabbed Private Detective Lin's hand and quickly escaped from the back door of the warehouse.
The two hid in the dark and watched several men in black walk into the warehouse.
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to find out the truth..." Wen Nuan's tone was cold, and there was a cold light in his eyes.
"Wu Nuan, be careful!" Private Detective Lin suddenly pulled Wen Nuan behind him. A bullet flew over their heads and hit the wall of the warehouse.
Wen Nuan was still in shock and held Private Detective Lin's arm tightly.
"It seems we need to speed up..." Wen Nuan's tone was firm, and his eyes were full of determination.
She took out her cell phone and called Mo Han: "Mo Han, I need your help..."
Mo Han watched Wen Nuan and Private Detective Lin hurriedly fleeing from the abandoned warehouse, and a nameless fire burned in his heart.
He clenched his fists and looked sinister.
These days, he always saw Wen Nuan and Private Detective Lin together, and their intimacy hurt his eyes.
He admitted that he was jealous, jealous of the man who could accompany Wen Nuan openly.
He found Wen Nuan in a dim corridor, grabbed her wrist and pushed her into a corner.
"What is your relationship with him?" Mo Han's voice was low, with a hint of suppressed anger.
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was referring to Private Detective Lin.
"He's just a detective helping me investigate my background." She tried to explain, but found that Mo Han's eyes were even colder.
"Detective? I don't think it's that simple." Mo Han's breathing was a little rapid. He moved closer to Wen Nuan. The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath.
The lights in the corridor were dim, stretching the figures of the two people out, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread between them.
Wen Nuan's heartbeat quickened, and she could sense the dangerous aura emanating from Mo Han.
"What...what do you want to do?" Her voice trembled a little.
Mo Han didn't say anything, but just stared at her closely, his eyes complicated and difficult to read.
At the same time, the warm mother was experiencing a silent torture.
A mysterious man appeared in front of her and warned her in a cold tone: "Don't say a word you shouldn't say! Otherwise..." The man didn't continue, but the threat was self-evident.
Wen Nuan's mother's face was pale. She held the photo tightly in her hand, her body trembling slightly.
Fear and pain intertwined in her heart, and she didn't know what to do.
Wen Nuan noticed that something was wrong with her mother. She tried to ask her several times, but her mother always evaded the question, her eyes filled with fear.
Wen Nuan was confused. She vaguely felt that her mother seemed to know some secrets about her life experience, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
What is going on with all this?
Wen Nuan decided to start from other aspects.
She remembered the employee named Chen whom she had seen in the Mo's corporate information room before. He seemed to be acting strangely towards her at that time.
Perhaps he can provide some clues.
The next day, Wen Nuan came to Mo's Enterprise again. She found an employee named Chen and pretended to casually mention what happened that day.
"Mr. Chen, do you remember that day when I was looking for information in the reference room?"
The employee named Chen looked up, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. "Of course I remember. Miss Wen, what can I do for you?"
Wen Nuan smiled slightly. "It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to ask if there was anything special about the information I read the other day?"
Chen's eyes flickered. "Nothing... nothing special..."
Wen Nuan stared into his eyes and said meaningfully, "Really? But I always feel like you're hiding something from me..."
The employee named Chen's face became even paler, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Wen Nuan pressed on step by step, her eyes as sharp as a knife: "Mr. Chen, I hope you can tell the truth, otherwise..." She paused deliberately, with a hint of warning in her tone.
Finally, the employee named Chen couldn't bear the pressure anymore and confessed with a flicker in his eyes, "Ms. Wen, actually... Mr. Sun also came to the reference room that day. He asked me to keep an eye on you..."
Wen Nuan was shocked. As expected, members of the Sun family had been secretly monitoring her!
"What else did he say?" she demanded.
Employee Chen hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke out, "Mr. Sun suspects you have connections with Mo's competitors. He asked me to keep an eye on whether you're looking for Mo's confidential information..."
Wen Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Sun family members only suspected that she was related to her competitors and did not have any evidence of her investigating her background.
"Thank you for telling me this, Mr. Chen." Wen Nuan's tone softened a little and she gave the employee named Chen a reassuring look.
After leaving Mo's Enterprise, Wen Nuan felt tired.
She called Mo Han and wanted to tell him about this, but found that Mo Han's tone was unusually cold.
"What's up?"
"I went to Mo's Enterprise today and found..."
"I know." Mo Han interrupted her, "You don't need to explain, I know everything."
Wen Nuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mo Han was still angry about what happened before.
"Mo Han, please listen to my explanation..."
"No need." Mo Han interrupted her again, "I don't want to listen now." After that, he hung up the phone directly.
Wen Nuan held the phone, feeling a sense of loss.
She knew that Mo Han was angry because of her concealment, but she had no time to care about that now and could only focus on investigating her background.
At night, Wen Nuan came to Private Detective Lin's office alone.
"Any new discoveries?"
Private Detective Lin shook his head, his tone a little frustrated: "I'm sorry, Miss Wen, my ability is limited, and I haven't found any useful clues yet..." He paused, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
Finally, he took out an old box from the drawer and slowly pushed it in front of Wen Nuan.
"But I found this..."
Wen Nuan opened the box doubtfully, and inside was a yellowed photo and a wrinkled business card.
The photo shows a young woman holding a baby. The woman has a gentle face and her eyes are full of love.
The baby's face was blocked and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
The handwriting on the business card was already blurred, and one could only barely make out the three words "Dr. Li" and a phone number.
"This is..." Wen Nuan looked at Private Detective Lin in confusion.
"I stumbled upon this information many years ago while investigating a case," Private Detective Lin explained. "The woman in the photo could very well be your mother, and the baby could very well be you."
Wen Nuan's heart was shocked. She held the photo tightly and looked at the woman in the photo carefully.
Although the woman in the photo was much younger than her current mother, Wen Nuan could still see a striking resemblance between them.
"Who is Dr. Li?" Wen Nuan asked, pointing at the business card.
"He used to be a doctor at Chengnan Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital." Private Detective Lin's tone was a little serious. "I suspect he may know the secret of your life experience."
Private Detective Lin originally thought that his abilities were limited and that he couldn't be of much help.
But the moment he saw the photo, he suddenly remembered a key person - Dr. Li, who had retired for many years.
Dr. Li was in charge of Wen Nuan's mother's delivery. Perhaps he knew Zhao Yong's whereabouts, or even knew more unknown secrets.
This discovery made Private Detective Lin very excited, and he immediately told Wen Nuan the news.
Wen Nuan immediately dialed the number on the business card.
After the phone rang a few times, an old voice came: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, are you Dr. Li?" Wen Nuan asked cautiously.
"It's me, who are you?"
"My name is Wen Nuan, and I want to ask you something..." Wen Nuan briefly explained her situation.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then Dr. Li slowly said, "I know what you want to ask. However, there are some things you'd better not know..."
Wen Nuan's heart tightened, and she realized that Dr. Li must know something.
"Doctor Li, please tell me, this is really important to me!"
Dr. Li sighed and said, "Okay, come to my house tomorrow and I'll tell you everything I know..." He gave an address.
The next day, Wen Nuan came to an old residential building according to the address provided by Dr. Li.
She took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
The door opened and a white-haired old woman stood at the door, looking at Wen Nuan warily.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Doctor Li." Wen Nuan replied.
The old woman looked Wen Nuan up and down, then slowly said, "I am Dr. Li's wife. He is no longer with us..."
"Gone?" Wen Nuan's heart sank, and a bad premonition came over her.
"Yes, he died three months ago..." The old woman's tone was a little sad.
Wen Nuan felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water, and all her hopes were shattered.
Just as she was about to leave, the old woman suddenly called her: "Wait." She turned and walked into the house. After a while, she came out with a letter.
"This is what Old Li left for you before he died..."
Wen Nuan took the letter tremblingly. Her name was written on the envelope.
She opened the letter impatiently and saw the following words:
"Child, I know you've been searching for your own life story. However, for some things, the more you know, the worse it is for you. Zhao Yong... he's very dangerous. You'd better not continue to pursue him..."
Her warm heartbeat quickened, she clutched the letter tightly, and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.
On the last line of the letter was an address.
Wen Nuan looked at the address, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
"Thank you, Auntie." Wen Nuan bowed deeply to the old woman, then turned and left.
She went to the address written on the letter and found that it was a remote antique shop.
Wen Nuan pushed open the door of the antique shop and saw a hunched old man dozing off behind the counter.
"Excuse me..." Wen Nuan just opened her mouth when the old man suddenly raised his head and stared at her with a pair of cloudy eyes.
"You...you are..." the old man said in a trembling voice.
