Dai Shiya's fingers tightened unconsciously while holding the phone, and her fingertips turned white.
The situation reported on the other end of the phone was like a thunder, which caused ripples in her calm heart. She
originally thought that the family infighting had been settled, she was in power, and everything was developing in a good direction, but she did not expect that a new crisis would come quietly, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to give a fatal blow at any time.
She took a deep breath, tried to maintain a calm tone, and asked in a low voice about the details of the incident, but her eyes gradually became sharp, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed.
After hanging up the phone, Dai Shiya turned to face the crowd, suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and tried to inform the family members of the sudden news.
However, what came into view was the scene of everyone chatting casually. The
previous tense atmosphere had long since dissipated, replaced by the ease and joy of surviving the disaster.
They gathered in twos and threes, talking about business matters or family matters, completely unaware that a new crisis was approaching.
"Everyone," Dai Shiya raised her voice, trying to attract their attention, "I just received news..."
However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted impatiently by a family member: "Shiya, now that everything is settled, don't be so nervous. We are all tired and want to take a break."
Another member also echoed: "Yes, we all know that you have worked hard, but now everything is really fine, just let us relax."
Dai Shiya looked at them, and a sense of powerlessness surged in her heart.
She wanted to explain, wanted to tell them about the new crisis, but looking at their relaxed expressions, the previous crisis made them exhausted. Now that they finally took a breath, they just wanted to enjoy a moment of peace and were unwilling to face new challenges.
A feeling of isolation and helplessness surrounded her, and anxiety spread in her heart.
The air around her seemed to solidify, and it was suffocating.
She felt like a lone soldier, facing the surging enemy alone, but behind her, there was no one.
"Shiya, you don't look very well. Are you tired?" Dai Shiya's husband came over and asked with concern, gently holding her shoulders.
Dai Shiya forced a smile and shook her head: "I'm fine." But the worry in her eyes could not be concealed.
At this moment, Wei Qing came over. She keenly noticed Dai Shiya's abnormality and whispered: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Dai Shiya looked at Wei Qing, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. She leaned close to Wei Qing's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I suspect..."
Dai Shiya was not affected by the attitude of the family members. She had already made a decision in her heart.
She took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to carefully observe the personnel dynamics of various departments of the family.
Her eyes were like a sharp knife, not missing any subtle changes.
In this dull afternoon, the sun shone through the French windows onto the floor, forming a series of light and shadows.
Dai Shiya's eyes swept over every corner, every expression, and every subtle movement.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
In her keen observation, she found that some employees' spending power suddenly increased, which aroused her high vigilance. She
knew that there must be some unknown secrets behind this.
She quickly sorted out her thoughts and decided to start from small things and find out those employees with abnormal consumption.
Dai Shiya gently straightened her collar and walked into the finance department.
In the department, employees were busy dealing with various accounts, the sound of keyboard tapping came one after another, and the air was filled with a tense and orderly atmosphere.
She looked at each employee carefully and finally locked on a few targets.
"You guys, come here." Dai Shiya's voice was calm and firm, with unquestionable authority.
Several employees exchanged glances, and a trace of uneasiness flashed across their faces, but they still slowly walked to Dai Shiya.
"Your consumption records are a bit abnormal recently. Can you explain it?" Dai Shiya looked directly at them, and there was an invisible pressure in her voice.
Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, making it impossible to escape.
Several employees looked at each other and answered hesitantly: "This... this is nothing, it's just... just..."
"Just what?" Dai Shiya's voice suddenly rose, and the powerful aura seemed to make the temperature of the whole room drop by several degrees.
She stared at them closely, as if she wanted to find flaws from every subtle expression of theirs.
"We... we just..." One of them became more and more silent, his eyes flickered, and he was obviously guilty.
The others also became nervous and tried to unite to conceal the truth, but Dai Shiya's eyes were as firm as iron, making them unable to breathe.
The tense atmosphere permeated between the two sides, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Dai Shiya had already made up her mind, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.
Suddenly, her eyes locked on a person, and
the corners of the person's Dai Shiya raised a meaningful arc, stepped forward, and whispered: "You, stay first." The other few people were startled by this sudden order and stepped aside.
In the room, only Dai Shiya and the pale-faced employee were left, and the tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.
Dai Shiya's eyes were fixed on the accountant named Liu Hao.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Liu Hao's forehead, and the collar of his shirt was slightly wet.
Dai Shiya walked up to him, her tone gentle but with unquestionable majesty: "Liu Hao, you seem very nervous?"
Liu Hao swallowed subconsciously and stammered: "No...no, President Dai, I...I'm just a little hot." The air conditioner in the office made a slight humming sound, and the cool breeze was obviously not related to the word "hot".
Dai Shiya did not expose his lie, but just smiled slightly. This smile made Liu Hao more frightened than any harsh rebuke.
"Liu Hao, you have been in the company for many years, right? I have always admired your work ability." Her tone was gentle, as if she was chatting, but it made Liu Hao even more uneasy.
He nodded stiffly, as if his throat was blocked by something and he could not make a sound.
Dai Shiya's fingers tapped the table lightly, making a crisp "tap" sound. This sound was particularly clear in the silent office, tapping Liu Hao's tense nerves one by one.
"Is everything okay at home recently?" Dai Shiya asked casually.
Liu Hao was stunned for a moment and answered subconsciously: "Not bad."
"I heard that you bought a new house recently, congratulations." Dai Shiya's tone was still gentle, but it made Liu Hao's heart sink suddenly.
Only a few friends knew about his house purchase, how could Dai Shiya know?
He forced a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Dai."
Dai Shiya's eyes suddenly became sharp, looking directly into Liu Hao's eyes, and said word by word: "The down payment for a house is not something you, a small accountant, can easily afford, right?"
Liu Hao's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.
He wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't find any suitable reason.
Cold sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the smooth floor, making a slight "tap" sound.
Dai Shiya looked at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and the originally tense atmosphere became a little relaxed.
"Don't be nervous, I just want to understand the situation." She slowed down her tone, as if she was comforting him, but more like a cat playing with its prey.
"I...I..." Liu Hao finally broke down, his legs softened, and he almost fell to the ground, "I...I took the money..."
Dai Shiya's husband walked gently behind her, put his big hand on her shoulder, and gave her silent comfort.
Wei Qing also came over and handed a document to Dai Shiya, "This is the information I just collected, maybe it can help you." Dai Shiya felt their support, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She took the document, her eyes swept over the contents on it, and her eyes gradually became deep.
She raised her head, looked at Liu Hao, and asked softly, "Who gave you the money?"
Liu Hao's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Dai Shiya's eyes. He said in a trembling voice, "Yes... yes..." He paused, as if he was making a final struggle. In the end, he was like a deflated ball, and spit out a name weakly, "Yes... it was the previous one..."
"What before?" Dai Shiya asked.
Liu Hao took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said slowly, "Yes... it was the one who had a feud with our family before..."
Dai Shiya took the file handed over by Wei Qing, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.
The file recorded in detail the exchanges between Liu Hao and a small family, including transfer records, call records, and even some secret meeting places.
Although this small family is not large in scale, it has always been secretly connected with the old enemies of the Dai family. Their actions seem to be not only for personal interests, but also under the instruction of a larger force.
Dai Shiya's eyes quickly swept across the file, and the content of each page was like a sharp blade, cutting the doubts in her heart.
Her eyes gradually became firm, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
This clue undoubtedly pointed out the direction for her investigation. She felt a long-lost sense of accomplishment surging in her heart, and even every dust in the air seemed to cheer for her victory.
"Shiya, what should we do next?" Wei Qing's voice was a little nervous, but more trusting.
Dai Shiya tapped the documents lightly, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes: "Let's start with the small family and find their contact points with the old enemy. Only in this way can we thoroughly uncover the truth."
She quickly organized a secret meeting and summoned several of the most trusted members of the family.
The lights in the conference room were dim, and the family emblem hung on the wall, which looked solemn and solemn.
The family members sat together, and the atmosphere was tense and heavy.
Dai Shiya stood up and told the contents of the documents one by one. Her voice was firm and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of everyone present.
"We need to act quickly, time is not in our favor." Dai Shiya said, her eyes lingering on everyone's face to make sure they understood the seriousness of the situation.
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang, and a message from the finance department was displayed on the screen.
Dai Shiya quickly opened it, and saw lines of text jumping into her eyes: **"There was a large amount of money transferred from Liu Hao's account today, and it seems that more evidence is being destroyed." **Dai Shiya
frowned slightly, knowing that the situation had reached a critical stage.
She looked up at everyone, her tone full of determination: "We must speed up, they have begun to destroy the evidence."
Her"
Dai Shiya turned and left the meeting room with firm and quick steps.
Her heart was full of confidence, but she also realized that the real test had just begun.
The small family's destruction of evidence undoubtedly made her feel the alertness of the forces behind it.
