Dai Shiya held the anonymous letter in her hand. The edges of the paper hurt her palm, but it was not as uneasy as the doubts in her heart.
The two short sentences in the letter were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples and rippling in her heart.
A new storm, a new plot by an old enemy...
Who is secretly spying, and who is trying to stir up trouble again?
She took a deep breath and decided to start the investigation from the recent abnormal situation within the family.
She stood up and walked to the French window, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the cold glass, her eyes swept across the bright night view outside the window.
The bustling and noisy city seemed to be isolated by a thin film, and the house was filled with a solemn and mysterious atmosphere, which was so depressing that it made people breathless.
Her husband walked to her side, and his broad palm gently covered her shoulders, silently conveying strength and support.
Dai Shiya turned to look at her husband, and the doubts in her eyes did not diminish at all.
"We must find this hidden threat as soon as possible." Her voice was low and firm, with a barely perceptible anxiety in her tone.
Her husband nodded slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes.
"I will arrange for someone to investigate secretly."
In the next few days, Dai Shiya quietly observed the actions of the family members.
However, what shocked her was that most people were immersed in their previous victories and did not take the potential crisis she raised seriously.
At the family meeting, she informed everyone of the contents of the anonymous letter, but only received a few perfunctory responses.
"Shiya, you are too nervous. We are now sure to win." A family elder waved his hand, his tone full of indifference.
Another young member even joked, "Maybe it's just a prank by some bored person."
Dai Shiya's heart sank, and the casual atmosphere in the family made her feel suffocated.
She looked around, her eyes fell on everyone's face, trying to catch a trace of abnormality, but she only saw a relaxed and indifferent look.
"I hope so..." Dai Shiya's tone was meaningful. Her eyes stayed on a member with a slightly flickering expression, and she slowly said, "I hope I'm overthinking."
Dai Shiya did not continue to entangle in the family meeting. She knew very well that at this moment, they were like frogs in warm water, and they needed stronger stimulation to make them alert.
She raised an imperceptible arc at the corner of her mouth, her eyes were as deep as a pool, and she announced calmly: "Since everyone feels that everything is fine, then it's fine. However, I have decided to launch a major reform plan for the family, and the details will be announced later."
As soon as the voice fell, the originally somewhat loose meeting place suddenly became quiet, and the air seemed to solidify for a moment.
The elders who had just looked indifferent looked at each other at this moment, with surprise and confusion in their eyes.
The young members whispered to each other, and the whispering sound flowed in the space like a small electric current, breaking the previous tranquility.
Dai Shiya took in everyone's reactions, and she could feel the uneasiness and curiosity emanating from them.
She looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction, like a chess player controlling the direction of each chess piece.
"I will sort out the specific content as soon as possible and inform everyone when the time comes." Dai Shiya's voice was cold and powerful, with unquestionable majesty. She did not give anyone a chance to ask questions, and she stood up and left the meeting room. After
she left, the atmosphere in the meeting room became subtle.
The family members were no longer as relaxed as before, and everyone began to bow their heads and think about the meaning of Dai Shiya's words.
Some people began to speculate what the so-called "major changes" were, while others were uneasy, worried that the changes would affect their own interests.
When Dai Shiya returned to the office, Wei Qing had already been waiting there.
"Your move is really smart. They should all be unable to sit still now." Wei Qing leaned on the sofa, with a hint of playfulness in her tone.
Dai Shiya nodded, "It's better to be unable to sit still. Only in this way, those insects hiding in the dark will slowly show their tails." She walked to the window, her eyes as sharp as a hawk, scanning the hurried crowd downstairs.
In the next few days, the atmosphere within the family became very tense.
Everyone carefully inquired about the news of the "major changes", and the originally sloppy work rhythm became efficient.
However, what made Dai Shiya excited was that under this superficial tension, she found several very suspicious people.
One of them was her third uncle's son, Dai Ming.
He always sneaked out during lunch break and then came back in a hurry, as if hiding something.
The other was an inconspicuous financial staff member in the family. He had been frequently in and out of the archives room recently, holding thick documents every time, with a very unnatural expression.
Dai Shiya tapped the table lightly, and a sense of excitement surged in her heart.
The truth seemed to be within reach.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a cold smile climbed up her eyebrows.
She knew that this was a long contest, and she was fully prepared.
"It seems that the good show is about to begin..." She murmured in a low voice, with a hint of meaningful smile in her voice.
Dai Shiya's mysterious husband and Wei Qing both expressed their full support for her, and their trust made Dai Shiya full of strength.
Her husband's broad palm tightly grasped her hand, and the gentle warmth spread through her skin and spread throughout her body, bringing an indescribable sense of security.
Wei Qing leaned on the sofa, her deep eyes revealed a firm belief. She patted Dai Shiya's shoulder and said with a hint of comfort: "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."
The warm atmosphere slowly flowed in the tense family environment, as if a ray of sunshine from the darkness, bringing Dai Shiya a rare tranquility.
She smiled gently,
but this short-lived calm did not last long.
Those family members suspected by Dai Shiya began to connect with each other, with elusive looks flashing in their eyes.
The atmosphere within the family became more and more tense, and the atmosphere of suspicion shrouded every corner like a shadow.
Dai Shiya stood in front of the window of the office, her eyes sharply scanning the crowd downstairs, and every tiny movement could not escape her keen perception.
Dai Ming's figure appeared in her field of vision again. He hurriedly passed through the crowd, and seemed to be holding something in his hand, with a very unnatural expression.
At the other end, the figure of Liu Tao, a financial staff member, also flashed at the door of the archive room. He held a thick stack of documents in his hand, and his eyes were full of vigilance and uneasiness.
Dai Shiya felt uneasy. In the
family meeting room, the conversation between several old people and young members became more cautious.
Every word was tentative and vigilant, as if there was an invisible frost in the air.
Dai Shiya sat quietly aside, with a barely perceptible sneer on the corner of her mouth. She had already made a preliminary judgment in her heart.
"It seems that the good show is about to begin..." She murmured in a low voice, with a meaningful smile in her voice.
Dai Shiya was like a patient hunter, quietly weaving an invisible web.
She secretly arranged for Wei Qing to retrieve Dai Ming and Liu Tao's recent travel records, as well as the financial statements they handled.
On the computer screen, dense data intertwined like a spider web. Dai Shiya's eyes wandered between those subtle digital fluctuations, not letting go of any abnormalities.
She tapped the table with her fingertips, and the rhythmic "tap" sound echoed in the silent office, like a silent war drum, beating her nerves.
She found that the place where Dai Ming frequently went in and out was actually a private club called "Nightingale", and there were obvious loopholes in the flow of several large sums of money handled by Liu Tao.
Alarm bells rang in her heart, and those seemingly insignificant clues gradually outlined a clear outline in her eyes.
At the family meeting, Dai Shiya calmly recounted the recent business situation of the family. Her voice was still cold, but with an unquestionable majesty.
The family members listened solemnly, and the previous laxity had long been replaced by anxiety.
She could feel that the eyes hidden in the crowd were looking at her with a hint of awe and uneasiness.
Her eyes swept across everyone's face. The elders who had sneered at her warnings were now frowning, as if they realized that they had underestimated the young ruler before.
The young members also put away their joking expressions and listened carefully to Dai Shiya's analysis. The air was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere.
Just as Dai Shiya was preparing to conduct further investigations, some rumors against her suddenly spread within the family.
These rumors spread rapidly like venom. Some people said that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, and would do anything to consolidate her position; some people said that she was arbitrary and disregarded the interests of other family members; some people even said that she was supported by a powerful mysterious force, so she was so arrogant.
Those whispering discussions were like tiny needles, piercing Dai Shiya's eardrums. She could feel the hidden malice behind her, approaching quietly like a cold and poisonous snake.
She understood that this was the enemy's counterattack. They tried to disrupt her position and hinder her investigation through rumors.
Dai Shiya pushed open the window and let the cool night breeze blow on her cheeks, trying to calm the waves in her heart.
She glanced sharply at the people rushing downstairs, like invisible enemies hiding in the night.
She took a deep breath, and a cold smile flashed in her eyes.
This battle has just begun, and she will not give up easily.
She turned around, closed the window, isolated the noise outside, walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and dialed Wei Qing's number.
After the call was connected, before she had time to speak, Wei Qing's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Shiya, I received some bad news..."
Dai Shiya's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile: "Really? I see."
