A Secret IV
A Secret IV
" You're not very strong in this area." She made a disapproving sound and sarcastically commented.
In her quest for the truth, she hacked into the paparazzi's system, the very ones who initially exposed the article, and discovered the existence of an anonymous email. Despite the man's attempt to delete the exchanged emails, Xu Nuan effortlessly retrieved the information.
Once she obtained the emails, it was an easy peasy task for her to trace the location of the sender.
Obtaining evidence against Lin Ran and Yuhan's mother was a simple task for her. However, she deliberately let the situation escalate because she saw it as an opportunity.
By resolving the matter completely, she would have the chance to transform this scandalous controversy into an advantage. This would allow her to corner Yuhan's mother and Lin Ran, compelling them to abandon any plans they may have to harm Jia Fei.
Upon hearing Xu Nuan's words, Yuhan's mother frowned and shot a disapproving look at Lin Ran. She had been contemplating outsourcing this task, but Lin Ran assured her that creating a new account would make them untraceable.
That foolish woman, to save a few pennies, has put them in a tough situation, ultimately leading to their capture by Xu Nuan.
Xu Nuan took pleasure in witnessing their downcast and panicked expressions as she continued, "Mrs. Yu, just picture the repercussions if I were to expose this on the internet, revealing the truth to the entire world. Consider what will become of your supposedly refined family and esteemed reputation."
"Imagine the backlash you would face as a mother who anonymously tipped off the paparazzi to trail her son and his girlfriend. Think about the overwhelming amount of hate comments that will inundate you in the future. Given Jia Fei's status as the nation's girl crush, you would become the despised mother-in-law of the nation."
"Remember, if antis are dangerous, the enraged loyal fans can be even more perilous. Prepare yourself to shed tears of regret and face the consequences."
After dropping a bombshell on Yuhan's mother, who was trembling with anger and her face turning crimson, Xu Nuan shifted her attention to Lin Ran and said, "And Mrs. Gu, I distinctly remember advising you in the past to mind your own business and not meddle with me."
"It seems you haven't learned anything from our previous encounter. You recall what happened with Xingren, don't you? If the world discovers your involvement in this matter, Jia Fei's fans will swiftly uncover your history, and it won't be long before Xingren's past is exposed on the internet. Considering her connection to Yuhan."
"Then the entire world will learn that Xingren is not your biological daughter and that she has attempted to harm the biological daughter of the Gu family, who is me, repeatedly. I can assure you that this dark chapter in her life will not benefit her or you in any way."
"The truth will come to light without any intervention from me. Do you truly want me to expose the truth to the world and make you the nation's enemy?" Xu Nuan gazed at Lin Ran mischievously, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
Lin Ran clenched her teeth and shouted, "Xu Nuan, don't you dare! If you do that, I will personally end your life!" She seethed with anger.
Xu Nuan chuckled dismissively and replied, "Go ahead and try! Even if you dared to lay a finger on me, my husband would be more than prepared to dismantle the entire Gu Family. So, by all means, give it your best shot and see if you can actually kill me." She spoke with nonchalance.
"You!" Lin Ran wanted to say something, but the memory of Han Zihao's ruthlessness came to her mind. The last time, when Xingren almost killed Xu Nuan by pushing her onto a busy road by using a young fan of Han Liang, Han Zihao had nearly brought the Gu Family to ruin.
That incident was sheer madness. Lin Ran couldn't fathom what he would do if something were to truly happen to Xu Nuan.

Yuhan's mother could no longer bear it and gritted her teeth, asking, "What do you want? What will it take for you to keep your mouth shut?"
Xu Nuan smiled upon hearing this and responded, "Now we're getting somewhere."
"My requests are simple. I won't disclose any of this evidence. However, I want you to stop interfering in Yuhan and Jia Fei's relationship and apologize to Jia Fei for the ruckus you have caused in her life. Your son has finally found happiness, and as a mother, I am sure you want to see him happy too."
"Additionally, I want you to come clean with him. Instead of me revealing the truth to him, I am sure it would be better if you tell Yuhan yourself. That would be the least humiliating option for you," Xu Nuan suggested.
"You! I can't do that. I could never tell Yuhan about it," Yuhan's mother's face turned grim upon hearing the suggestion. Accepting Jia Fei as her daughter-in-law was akin to swallowing spoiled milk, but revealing her actions to Yuhan would be like consciously ingesting poison.
Xu Nuan crossed her arms in front of her chest and stated, "Well then... it seems he will discover the truth from the internet. It may be a longer path, but it's easier for me."
"No! No need. I will tell him myself," she said through clenched teeth, biting her lower lip until it bled. If she could, she would grab fistfuls of Xu Nuan's hair and pull until her scalp bled.
However, she dared not provoke Han Zihao, who was madly in love with his wife and a doting husband.
Xu Nuan was pleased with the response she received and turned her attention to Lin Ran, who trembled with anger and anxiety as her turn approached. "Mrs. Gu, what should I do with you? I have warned you countless times, but you never seem to learn from your mistakes. Hmm?" Xu Nuan looked at her, seemingly contemplating her punishment.
"That's why, instead of giving you a chance to repent for your mistakes, I' have sent these documents to Mr. Gu and explained the situation to him. I've heard that things aren't going well in your supposedly happy married life either, all because of your stubborn and brusque attitude. I'm certain that when you return home tonight, you'll face the consequences of your never-ending mistakes," Xu Nuan stated nonchalantly.
Lin Ran's complexion paled upon hearing this. "What? You already told Gu Zhang about this? How could you do this to me?" She roared at Xu Nuan, feeling anxious and helpless simultaneously.
The mere thought of Gu Zhang discovering the truth-filled Lin Ran with an overwhelming sense of dread. She knew all too well that if he were to uncover her involvement, he would never forgive her again.
Ever since Xu Nuan's heroic act in saving Gu Corporation from the cyber attack, Gu Zhang's attitude had noticeably shifted. He had become increasingly supportive of Xu Nuan, even to the point of fighting numerous times with her, his wife.
She cannot help but wonder what would happen this time.
Xu Nuan shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Just like you did to me? At least I sent him the truth. I didn't fabricate the documents or frame you. You should be grateful that I didn't send them to your friends who hold you in high regard and treat you kindly."
"Just imagine, what would your reputation be if everyone found out that the lady of the Gu family is such a schemer who believes in framing the innocent for her pleasure."
After saying this, Xu Nuan pressed a button, and a waitress entered the room. She looked at the girl and said, "Please escort the guests outside. Also, make sure to give them the food I asked you to pack for them, so they can enjoy it comfortably at home." Her nonchalant words caused Yuhan's mother, and Lin Ran to turn red with anger and humiliation.
They shot a final glare at Xu Nuan, who was instructing the waitress to bring dessert for herself, and stormed out of the room without looking back.
