The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, replaced by the bright lights of the city.
Dai Shiya stood in front of the French window, her fingertips gently sliding across the cold glass, her eyes as deep as the night sky.
She kept replaying the contents of the report in her mind. The undercurrents hidden behind the prosperity were like an invisible net, quietly tightening.
She took a deep breath. The sandalwood scent in the office was still there, but now it was like being mixed with poison, making people feel suffocated.
She could feel that under the calm surface, new challenges were looming.
The alarm bell in her heart was ringing, and Dai Shiya's
"It seems that it's time to investigate the family's affairs in depth." Her tone was low, but with an unquestionable power.
She turned around and swept her eyes across the thick documents on the desk, as if to find the hidden tumors from them.
Wei Qing stood aside, feeling the sudden solemn atmosphere in the air, her eyebrows furrowed.
That night, Dai Shiya began to investigate the family's internal accounts and personnel transfers with swift and resolute means.
However, she soon discovered that her actions were blocked everywhere.
Some family elders, who were usually respectful to her, seemed to have changed their faces at this moment, shirking and obstructing her for various reasons.
Dai Shiya felt a nameless fire burning in her chest, and anger surged into her heart like a tide.
These traitors dared to go against her so blatantly!
She clenched her fists tightly, and her joints made a crisp sound.
In the office, the depressing atmosphere became more and more intense, like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heart, making it hard to breathe.
"They are looking for death!" She said coldly, and every word seemed to jump out of an ice cellar, with a biting chill.
Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's angry look, and her heart couldn't help but tighten
. Just as Dai Shiya was about to put further pressure on her, the arrival of an uninvited guest made the atmosphere in the office even more tense.
The visitor was a prestigious old man in the family. He had a hypocritical smile on his face, but his eyes flashed with ill intentions.
He walked slowly to Dai Shiya's desk, gently placed a document on it, and said, "Miss, this may help you." He did not explain too much, but looked at Dai Shiya meaningfully, turned around and left the office.
Dai Shiya looked at the document on the table and did not open it immediately. She felt that there was a bigger conspiracy behind it.
She turned her head to look at Wei Qing,
"It seems that someone can't wait..." Dai Shiya murmured to herself with a sneer in her voice. She slowly picked up the document, and the moment her fingertips touched the paper, she seemed to feel a cold chill. Dai Shiya
did not choose to confront those stubborn family elders head-on, but cast her eyes on those wavering family members.
She understood that among the wealthy families, interests are always the bond that maintains relationships.
She met with several of them privately, not in a commanding tone, but in an attitude of equal consultation, and proposed a mutually beneficial cooperation plan. She
promised that as long as they supported her, they would gain greater benefits in the future development of the family.
At first, these people still had doubts, their eyes flickered, and they dared not express their opinions easily.
But as Dai Shiya threw out more attractive conditions and showed her clear plan for the future development of the family, their attitudes began to change gradually.
A hint of expectation gradually appeared in the doubtful eyes, and the originally tense body gradually relaxed.
The atmosphere in the conference room was no longer tense, but filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, and everyone's face was full of considerations of weighing the pros and cons.
At the same time, Dai Shiya did not give up the investigation of the traitor.
She knew that in order to completely solve the crisis, she must find conclusive evidence.
She plunged into the family's old archive room, dust flying in the air, irritating her nose, and the smell of old paper filled her lungs.
The archive room was dimly lit, the air was filled with a stale smell, and thick dust covered every document.
Dai Shiya wore white gloves and flipped through the yellowed papers page by page. The rustling sound of her fingertips sliding across the pages was particularly clear in the silent room.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the oppressive atmosphere made Dai Shiya feel stuffy in her chest.
Just when she was about to give up, an inconspicuous file caught her attention.
There was no mark on the file bag, and she felt a strange force attracting her.
Dai Shiya carefully opened the file bag, which contained some yellowed photos and letters.
In the photos, several elders in the family secretly met with some unidentified people, and their expressions were cautious and secretive.
The content of the letter was even more shocking, which recorded in detail the plan of the traitor to collude with mysterious forces, and even mentioned the assassination plan of Dai Shiya.
Dai Shiya's heart beat violently, and a current of excitement spread throughout her body.
The oppressive atmosphere around seemed to disappear all of a sudden, replaced by a glimmer of hope.
She finally found it!
These evidences are enough to bring the traitors to justice and completely crush their conspiracy!
She carefully put away the file, and the paper felt fragile and brittle in her hands.
When she got up and left the archive room, Dai Shiya's steps were brisk, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She knew that she had gained the upper hand in this battle between the rich and powerful.
Back in the office, Wei Qing immediately noticed the changes in Dai Shiya.
"It seems that you have gained something." Wei Qing said.
Dai Shiya smiled mysteriously, put the file bag on the table, and gently pushed it to Wei Qing: "You will know after you read it." Dai Shiya's investigation was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.
The minions in the family who colluded with the traitors, like sharks smelling blood, quickly gathered and tried to interfere with her investigation.
The first one to jump out was a department manager of the family business. He brought a group of people into Dai Shiya's office aggressively, loudly questioning the legality of her investigation, and accusing her of abusing her power on various trumped-up charges.
Dai Shiya looked at this group of jumping clowns coldly, with a disdainful sneer on the corner of her mouth.
She ignored their clamor, but calmly took out a document and gently placed it on the table.
"This is the authorization letter from the family elders. If you have any questions about my investigation, you can go directly to the elders." Her tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty.
The department manager looked at the authorization letter and his face turned pale in an instant. He stammered and couldn't speak, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
He originally thought that Dai Shiya was just bluffing, but he didn't expect that she was already prepared.
Seeing this, the other minions also stopped, and the clamor in the office gradually subsided.
Those members of the family who had originally remained neutral now turned their eyes to Dai Shiya. They were still waiting and not sure which side to support.
But Dai Shiya's calmness and vigorous and resolute means gave them hope and made them full of confidence in the future of the family.
When Dai Shiya was dealing with these minions, Wei Qing was always by her side, giving her advice.
She calmly analyzed the situation, provided Dai Shiya with various suggestions, and helped her deal with various emergencies.
Dai Shiya held Wei Qing's hand gratefully, feeling the warmth in her palm, and her heart was filled with strength.
This made her more determined to protect her family and her friends.
It was late at night, and Dai Shiya and Wei Qing were still busy in the office.
The documents on the table were piled up like a mountain, and dense data flashed on the computer screen.
Dai Shiya rubbed her sore eyes, picked up the coffee and took a sip. The bitter taste refreshed her.
She turned her head to look at Wei Qing and found that she was also working attentively. There was a trace of fatigue on her face, but she was full of fighting spirit.
A warm current surged in Dai Shiya's heart
. Suddenly, Dai Shiya's mobile phone vibrated, and an anonymous text message appeared on the screen: "Be careful of your friends, she may not be as loyal as you think." Dai Shiya's pupils suddenly contracted, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She looked up at Wei Qing suddenly, but saw that she was smiling at her, with clear and warm eyes.
Dai Shiya clenched her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. "Qing, you..." Dai Shiya suppressed her doubts and replied calmly, "I know," and then put the phone back in her pocket.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
She didn't believe that Wei Qing would betray her. They were best friends and had experienced so many ups and downs together. The relationship between them was indestructible.
The next day, Dai Shiya held a family meeting as planned.
At the meeting, she announced the evidence of the traitors' collusion with external forces and exposed their conspiracy to embezzle family assets.
The traitors' faces changed drastically. They didn't expect Dai Shiya to have such solid evidence.
They still wanted to quibble, but Dai Shiya had already made all the preparations. She presented all the evidence one by one, leaving the traitors speechless.
Dai Shiya looked at the traitors' embarrassed appearance, and a sense of victory surged in her heart.
She looked around and found that many family members looked at her with admiration.
They had originally doubted Dai Shiya's leadership ability, but now they were impressed by her wisdom and courage.
After the meeting, several family members took the initiative to find Dai Shiya and expressed their willingness to support her.
They were previously deceived by the lies of the traitors, but now they finally see the truth.
Dai Shiya gladly accepted their support and promised to lead the family to a more glorious future.
The atmosphere within the family became harmonious and hopeful, and Dai Shiya's leadership position was further consolidated.
However, Dai Shiya was not carried away by the victory.
She knew that the real danger had not been lifted.
Although the traitors were temporarily out of power, they would not give up easily.
There were mysterious forces behind them to support them, and they would definitely make a comeback.
Sure enough, not long after, Dai Shiya received an anonymous package.
In the package was a photo showing a secret meeting between Wei Qing and a strange man.
On the back of the photo was a line of words: "Do you think you won? The good show has just begun."
Dai Shiya's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
She held the photo tightly, and her fingertips almost poked the photo.
She looked up and looked out the window. The night was deep, like a huge black hole, swallowing all the light.
"Wei Qing..." Dai Shiya murmured to herself, her voice low and hoarse.
