Chapter 440: Solo Investigation: Dangerous Approach
Following the clues provided by Uncle Wang, Wen Nuan came to an antique shop.
The owner was a white-haired old man wearing a pair of reading glasses. He was carefully wiping an antique vase.
After Wen Nuan explained her purpose, the old man carefully examined the button in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his cloudy eyes.
"This button... the workmanship is very special, like a style from decades ago." The old man said slowly, a hint of nostalgia in his tone, "When I was young, I saw similar buttons. I think they were on a special uniform..."
The old man's words made Wen Nuan happy, and she asked, "Do you remember what uniform it was?"
The old man shook his head and said apologetically, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly. However, I remember that the fabric of this uniform was very special, a material that is rarely seen now."
The clue was broken again, Wen Nuan was a little frustrated, but she did not give up.
She contacted some old employees of the Mo family, hoping to get more information about this kind of clothing from them.
But the old employees either said they couldn't remember clearly or avoided the topic and were obviously unwilling to say more.
Wen Nuan realized that these people might be unwilling to disclose information because they were afraid of getting into trouble.
Wen Nuan was not discouraged, she decided to find another way.
She remembered that the Mo family had a warehouse where old items were stored, and perhaps some clues could be found there.
She drove to the warehouse and rummaged through the piles of debris.
The air was filled with dust and a musty smell. Wen Nuan covered his mouth and nose and searched relentlessly.
Hard work pays off. In a corner of the warehouse, Wen Nuan found several rolls of cloth wrapped in oilcloth.
She carefully opened the oilcloth and found that although the fabric was a little yellowed, the texture was still intact.
After careful observation, Wen Nuan discovered some special marks on the fabric, like some special symbols.
"This mark..." Wen Nuan muttered to herself, clutching the fabric tightly in her palm.
Wen Nuan clutched the fabric tightly, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
The mark on the fabric was very special. She found out through the Mo family's network of connections that this mark belonged to a garment factory that had long since gone bankrupt.
This garment factory is located on the outskirts of the city and has been abandoned for many years. It is rumored to be eerie and even haunted.
Wen Nuan hesitated.
Although she was strong, she was a woman after all, and she couldn't help but feel afraid when going to such a place alone.
She thought of Mo Han's gentle hug and his encouraging eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Mo Han trusted her and supported her, and she couldn't let him down.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Nuan drove to the garment factory on the outskirts of the city.
The abandoned factory building has long been dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and the door is rusty and creaking.
The cold wind rushed in through the broken window, making a whimpering sound like ghosts and wolves howling.
The warm heartbeat accelerated and the palms were slightly sweaty.
She held the self-defense spray tightly in her hand and walked into the factory carefully.
The factory was dimly lit and the air was filled with dust and mold, making people feel suffocated.
Suddenly, the warm gaze fell on a photo on the wall.
It was a photo of her and Mo Han, which had been maliciously graffitied. Mo Han's face was covered with ugly patterns, and a big cross was drawn on her face.
Anger instantly surged in her heart, Wen Nuan bit her lips tightly, and flames of anger flashed in her eyes.
This is not only an insult to her, but also a provocation to Mo Han!
She became more determined to find out who was behind this.
Wen Nuan continued to go deeper into the factory. In the dim light, she saw some document fragments scattered on the ground.
She bent down to pick up the fragments, pieced them together, and found that it was a list of employees.
Most of the names on the list are blurred, but one name is clearly visible - Uncle Wang!
"Uncle Wang..." Wen Nuan murmured to herself, her heart full of confusion and shock.
Uncle Wang is an old employee of the Mo family and has always been loyal. How could he be involved in this matter?
Just when Wen Nuan was puzzled, she suddenly heard a sinister laugh from behind her...
"Got you……"
Just as Wen Nuan went deeper into the garment factory, she suddenly heard a sinister laugh behind her and the door was closed.
Her heart suddenly tightened. She looked back and saw the door slowly closing with a creaking sound, completely isolating her from the outside world.
There was a pungent smell all around, which made her eyes sore and her throat dry and itchy. She began to cough violently and gradually felt unwell.
"I found you..." The voice was cold and hoarse, making people's hair stand on end.
Wen Nuan didn't panic, she forced herself to calm down.
She looked around and found herself trapped in a dark corner, surrounded by abandoned machines and debris.
She quickly analyzed the environment and found a ventilation hole in a corner of the garment factory. Although it was not big, it was big enough for an adult to barely pass through.
She acted quickly, using some nearby wooden planks and iron barrels to build a simple frame and crawled towards the vent.
Every step was taken with caution, fearing that any sound would attract the enemy's attention.
The pungent smell almost suffocated her, but she gritted her teeth, endured the discomfort, and continued to move forward.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approaching came from behind.
Her warm heartbeat quickened, but she didn't stop, instead she sped up.
She finally climbed to the ventilation duct, pushed hard, and squeezed into the narrow pipe.
The light in the pipe was dim and there was cold metal all around, but she didn't care about that and just wanted to find the exit quickly.
Wen Nuan crawled with difficulty in the pipe, and heard the enemy's roar, getting closer and closer.
Her heart almost beat out of her chest, but she didn't give up and continued to crawl forward desperately.
Suddenly, she saw a ray of light in front of her, which was the exit of the ventilation duct.
Wen Nuan tried her best and finally grabbed the edge of the exit. She pulled hard and the whole person was exposed in the pipe.
Just when she was about to escape completely, the pipe behind her suddenly shook violently, as if someone was trying to seal the exit.
Wen Nuan's heart moved. Without thinking too much, she grabbed the iron frame next to her, climbed up quickly, and finally stood safely on the ground.
She glanced back at the vent behind her and saw a hand reaching out from the pipe, trying to grab her.
Wen Nuan turned around quickly and ran quickly along the abandoned factory building, heading towards her only hope - a ray of light ahead.
Wen Nuan crawled out of the ventilation duct and fell heavily to the ground. The dust choked her and made her cough uncontrollably.
Before she had time to catch her breath, the dazzling light shone on her, and several burly men surrounded her with malicious smiles on their faces.
"Girl, you're quite a runner." The leading man, a cigarette between his lips, looked Wen Nuan up and down with contempt in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to find this place. It seems we underestimated you."
Wen Nuan endured the pain in her body and stared at them coldly: "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"
"Haha, arrest you? We just want to invite you for a cup of tea." The man said, waving his hand and signaling his men to come forward.
Wen Nuan knew that she was outnumbered, but she did not give up the resistance.
She got up from the ground, took a defensive stance, and glanced around vigilantly.
"Don't waste your energy, girl." The man sneered, "You can't get away."
Just then, the roar of a car engine was heard in the distance.
The men's faces changed and they all turned to look.
A black car came speeding and braked suddenly in front of the garment factory. The door opened and Mo Han got out with a terribly gloomy face.
"Let her go!" Mo Han's voice was as cold as ice, with unquestionable majesty.
The men looked at each other, obviously not expecting Mo Han to show up.
The leading man hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Mo, this is our private matter. I hope you won't interfere."
"Private matter?" Mo Han sneered, "Is my wife also your private matter?"
"Wife?" The man was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Mr. Mo, you really know how to joke. This woman is just an abandoned girl, how can she be worthy of you?"
A cold light flashed in Mo Han's eyes. He approached the man step by step and said in a cold tone: "Say it again?"
The man was intimidated by Mo Han's aura and took a few steps back. He said in a timid tone, "Mr. Mo, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business..."
Before he could finish his words, Mo Han knocked him to the ground with a punch.
Seeing this, several other men gathered around.
Mo Han was not afraid at all. He fought against many enemies alone, and his punches and kicks were as fast as the wind. He soon knocked them all to the ground.
He walked to Wen Nuan, helped her up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
Wen Nuan shook her head and looked at Mo Han, her heart filled with emotion.
"Let's go." Mo Han took Wen Nuan's hand and turned to leave.
Suddenly, a cold voice came from deep inside the garment factory: "Want to leave? Not that easy!"
