Chapter 436 The Crisis Arrives: The Threat of the Mysterious Letter
There was no one outside the door.
Only the night wind carried the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.
Mo Han looked around vigilantly. The corridor was empty and there was no one in sight.
He closed the door, locked it, and returned to Wen Nuan.
"What's going on?" The warm voice trembled slightly.
Mo Han shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it's a prank."
But he didn't think so in his heart. The three knocks on the door were slow and strange, more like a warning, or...
It's a provocation.
The two returned to the desk and studied the letters carefully again.
The contents of the letter were unclear, as if written in some special code, and were filled with obscure warnings and prophecies.
"What does this mean?" Wen Nuan frowned, her heart filled with anxiety.
The appearance of these letters made her feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Mo Han also fell into deep thought.
He knew that these letters were definitely not ordinary pranks and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind them.
"Wait!" Wen Nuan suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up, "I seem to have seen a similar code somewhere..." She tried hard to recall, and her thoughts went back to many years ago when she was still in Wen Nuan's home and accidentally turned to an ancient book in her father's study. It recorded various forms of codes, one of which was very similar to the symbols on the letter.
"Mo Han, let's go to the library!" Wen Nuan pulled Mo Han up and walked quickly towards the library next to the study.
The Mo family's library is huge and contains a variety of precious books.
Wen Nuan relied on her memory to search for the ancient book in the vast sea of books.
As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Finally, among a pile of long-forgotten ancient books, she found the familiar book.
Turning the pages of the book, Wen Nuan quickly found the chapter that recorded that coded form.
"Found it!" Wen Nuan shouted excitedly, with hope shining in her eyes.
Mo Han also came over and looked at the contents of the book carefully.
"This is an ancient code that requires a specific method to crack." Wen Nuan pointed to the explanation in the book.
The two of them followed the methods in the book and began to try to crack the code on the letter.
Time passed minute by minute, and the study was silent, with only the sound of turning pages and the sound of pen tips rubbing against paper.
"Wait..." Wen Nuan suddenly stopped and pointed at a symbol on the letter. "This symbol doesn't seem to be recorded in the book..."
Mo Han frowned, "Could it be..."
"Perhaps, we need to find an expert."
Mo Han took out his cell phone and prepared to contact a cryptography expert.
Wen Nuan suddenly held his hand.
"Wait, Mo Han, I don't think this matter should be made public." Wen Nuan said solemnly, "The contents of these letters are unknown. If we rashly ask outsiders to intervene, they might leak out and cause even greater trouble."
Mo Han was a little confused, "But we can't crack it ourselves." He looked at the complicated symbols and felt a headache.
"No, we can give it a try." Wen Nuan pointed to the ancient book in her hand. "This book records the method to crack it. Although it's incomplete, we can give it a try. If it really doesn't work, we can consider other methods."
Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan's determined eyes and felt a little hesitant.
He understood Wen Nuan's concerns, but he was also worried that this would waste time and bring potential danger closer.
"But, what if..."
"There's no chance of that happening." Wen Nuan interrupted him, her tone firm, "I believe we can do it. Besides, this concerns our safety, so we must be careful."
Mo Han looked at Wen Nuan, his eyes full of love and trust.
He hugged Wen Nuan gently and whispered in her ear: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I believe you."
Wen Nuan felt Mo Han's hug and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that no matter what happened, Mo Han would stand by her, support her and protect her.
The two returned to the desk again, and Wen Nuan began to crack the code according to the method in the book...
She took a deep breath, picked up a pen, and wrote the first decrypted letter on the paper.
Outside the window, the night grew darker.
Her warm and slender fingers moved back and forth between the ancient books and letters. She was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the codes and mysterious symbols before her.
Mo Han sat quietly beside her, his eyes following her all the time, his eyes full of concern and "admiration".
Time passed minute by minute, the sky outside the window gradually brightened, and the dawn light poured into the study through the gaps in the curtains, illuminating the warm and focused face.
Suddenly, Wen Nuan stopped writing, took a long breath, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"I untied it." She said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone, but more of excitement and accomplishment.
Mo Han hurried over and looked at the translated text in Wen Nuan's hand. His expression instantly became solemn.
The content of the letter points to a hidden business secret of the Mo family's enterprise - a new energy technology that is about to be launched on the market. Once this secret is leaked, it will bring huge losses to the Mo family and may even shake the foundation of the entire family.
"This..." Mo Han took a breath. He didn't expect that this mysterious letter actually hid such a big secret.
"We must take action immediately." Wen Nuan said calmly, with a determined light in his eyes.
She knew that time was running out and she had to find out who leaked the secrets as soon as possible to prevent the crisis from happening.
The two immediately began investigating.
With her keen observation and analytical skills, Wen Nuan carefully checks every link within the company and every person who may have access to confidential information.
She retrieved the company's surveillance footage, checked the entry and exit records of all relevant personnel, and conducted an in-depth analysis of their backgrounds and behaviors.
After a careful investigation, Wen Nuan finally identified several suspicious persons.
These people all hold important positions in the company, have access to confidential information, and their behavior is somewhat abnormal.
"It's them." Wen Nuan pointed at several names on the computer screen and said in a firm tone.
Mo Han looked at the name on the screen with a frown.
These people are all old employees of the company, and some of them are even his relatives.
He was fully aware of the seriousness of the matter and knew that the challenges he would face next would be even more daunting.
"We must proceed with caution." Mo Han said in a deep voice, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
"These people..." He paused, his tone becoming more meaningful, "They are not easy to deal with."
Wen Nuan nodded to show her understanding.
She knew that the crisis had just begun and the real battle was yet to come.
She held Mo Han's hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and confidence.
"No matter what, we must protect the Mo family."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the study door...
"Bang, bang, bang," three sounds, exactly the same as that night.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Mo Han stood up, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door suddenly.
There was still no one outside the door, only the cool morning breeze rustled the leaves, making a rustling sound.
Mo Han did not let down his guard. He carefully observed the surrounding environment, but did not find anything unusual.
After closing the door, Mo Han returned to Wen Nuan and the two began to discuss their next plan.
They knew that those suspicious individuals were deeply ingrained in the company and that investigating them would be difficult.
Moreover, as the investigation deepened, those people seemed to have noticed something and began to become more cautious, even colluding with each other to try to cover up the truth.
This undoubtedly brought huge pressure to Wen Nuan and Mo Han.
"We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible." Wen Nuan said in a deep voice, her slender fingers tapping lightly on the table, her thoughts racing.
Mo Han nodded in agreement.
He knew that time was running out and if they couldn't find conclusive evidence as soon as possible, their situation would become increasingly dangerous.
However, those suspicious people were very cunning. They hid very deeply and did not leave any obvious flaws.
Wen Nuan and Mo Han tried various methods, but to no avail.
Just when they were about to give up, Wen Nuan suddenly thought of a key person - the Mo family's old butler, Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu has worked for the Mo family for decades and knows everything about the Mo family. Maybe he knows something.
When Wen Nuan and Mo Han heard this, they immediately felt a glimmer of hope.
They earnestly requested Uncle Fu to tell them the truth and promised to keep it secret.
Uncle Fu looked at the anxious eyes of the two people, finally sighed, and slowly said: "Actually, I have always suspected that someone in the company leaked confidential information, but I have no evidence..."
Before Uncle Fu could finish his words, the study door was suddenly knocked again, "Dong Dong Dong", three times, still with that familiar rhythm.
Uncle Fu's expression suddenly changed, "They are coming..."
