The silhouette of the abandoned factory was like a dormant beast in the night, and the flashing infrared rays were like the beast's eyes, coldly scanning everything around.
Dai Shiya and Wei Qing hid in the dense bushes, staring at the strict defense system with frowns.
"This defense system is more complicated than we thought," Wei Qing said in a low voice with a hint of worry, "brute force will definitely not work, we have to find another way."
The night wind blew, bringing a hint of metal rust. Dai Shiya took a deep breath, and her fingertips gently ran over the leaves, feeling the texture of the veins.
She stared at the factory, with a firm light in her eyes.
"Brute force will definitely not work, but we can outsmart it."
A bold plan gradually took shape in her mind.
She turned her head to look at Wei Qing, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Let's play hard to get."
In the next few days, Dai Shiya deliberately revealed her intention to give up investigating the hidden forces at the family meeting, and her words were full of fatigue and helplessness.
"This hidden power is too mysterious, and their defense system is almost impeccable. I really can't continue investigating." Dai Shiya's voice trembled a little, as if she was really frightened by the difficulties.
Everyone in the family was surprised when they heard this.
"Shiya, how can you give up? We finally found their headquarters."
"Yes, as long as we work harder, we will definitely bring them to justice!"
Dai Shiya lowered her eyes, covering up the brilliance in her eyes, and shook her head gently, "I have tried my best, but I really can't do anything..."
Her performance of retreating to advance successfully confused everyone, and also confused the mastermind hidden in the family.
As night fell, Dai Shiya quietly left the family villa and disappeared into the night.
She did not really give up, but chose a more covert way to continue her investigation.
"Everything has just begun..." Dai Shiya's mouth curled up a cold smile, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Dai Shiya's figure shuttled through the corridor of the family mansion like a ghost. The silent night magnified her light footsteps, which echoed in the empty corridor like the bell of midnight, striking everyone's nerves.
Her sharp eyes swept through the family portraits hanging on the wall, as if she could see the secrets hidden behind each person through the oil paint.
She first locked her eyes on several core members of the family.
Uncle Dai Guoqiang, who looked like a gentleman on weekdays, had countless improper transactions behind his back; Uncle Dai Guodong, who seemed cowardly and incompetent, was actually very cunning and always hid in the dark to observe everything; and Aunt Dai Shufen, who was sarcastic and liked to gossip, could not escape her eyes.
Dai Shiya observed their actions calmly, and her every move, every word and deed could not escape her keen insight.
She noticed that when her eyes swept over them, a trace of imperceptible panic flashed across their faces, which further strengthened her suspicion.
Uncle Dai Guoqiang coughed calmly, his eyes wandering; Uncle Dai Guodong held the teacup tightly in his hand, his knuckles whitened due to excessive force; Aunt Dai Shufen even covered her chest exaggeratedly, as if she was frightened.
The air was filled with tension, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Dai Shiya did not alarm the snake. She needed to find conclusive evidence to bring these people to justice.
So she sneaked into the family's secret room.
The secret room was covered with the family's secrets for many years, and the air was filled with a musty smell that made people feel suffocated.
Dai Shiya carefully flipped through the documents, each page of which recorded the rise and fall of the family, honor and disgrace, and also hid the unknown darkness.
Suddenly, she found a clue in an inconspicuous account book.
The account book recorded huge amounts of capital flows, and the final destination of these funds turned out to be an inconspicuous little man - the family's housekeeper, Uncle Li.
Dai Shiya's mouth curled up into a smug smile, and the air around her seemed to become lighter because of her joy.
She finally found the real murderer who framed her!
"Uncle Li..." Dai Shiya whispered the name softly, and everyone looked at Uncle Li in disbelief. This old housekeeper who was usually taciturn and conscientious could actually be the hidden mastermind in the family.
"This is impossible!" A young clan member stood up suddenly, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "Uncle Li has served our family for so many years, how could he do such a thing?"
"Yes, Shiya, are you mistaken?" Another clan member also echoed, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Uncle Li has always been loyal to our family, he would never betray us." Uncle Li
lowered his head and said nothing. There was no expression on his wrinkled face, as if he was a lifeless sculpture.
However, his slightly trembling hands exposed his inner anxiety.
Dai Shiya did not flinch in the face of everyone's doubts.
She straightened her back, her eyes swept across the crowd firmly, and her tone was full of unquestionable majesty, "I have solid evidence in my hands. Uncle Li is the real murderer who framed me!" She showed the records in the account book one by one, and the flow of each huge amount of money was clearly visible, and there was no room for quibbling.
Uncle Li's face turned pale, and he raised his head suddenly, "You... you are slandering me!" His hoarse voice echoed in the conference room, with a hint of desperate madness.
Several family members who were deceived by him also stood up to defend him. The conference room suddenly became a mess, with accusations, excuses, and doubts intertwined, as noisy as a vegetable market.
Dai Shiya felt a burst of anger and helplessness.
She could feel that the air around her became more and more oppressive, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.
She knew that it was not the time to give up. She had to persevere in order to uncover the truth and clear her name.
She held the account book tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white because of excessive force.
"Uncle Li, do you have anything else to say?" Dai Shiya's voice was as cold as the wind in winter, and the biting coldness made Uncle Li shiver.
Uncle Li raised his head, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "Humph, even if you find evidence, what? Do you think you can bring me down?" He sneered at the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of threat in his tone, "I advise you to give up, otherwise..."
Uncle Li's words stopped abruptly. He suddenly realized that he had spoken out of turn, and quickly closed his mouth. His eyes flickered, and he dared not look into Dai Shiya's eyes again.
Facing Uncle Li's threat, Dai Shiya raised a disdainful sneer at the corner of her mouth. She was well prepared, so how could she be scared off by these few words?
"Give up? There is no such word in my dictionary, Dai Shiya!" Her crisp voice was loud and resounding, echoing in the conference room, with an unquestionable majesty.
Wei Qing stood up at the right time. She walked to Dai Shiya's side, her eyes were like torches, and she scanned everyone present.
"Uncle Li, your little tricks are nothing but trifles in front of us." Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a crisp sound, as if knocking on Uncle Li's heart.
"What you call evidence is nothing but some forged accounts." Wei Qing's voice was calm and clear, and every word pierced Uncle Li like a sword, "Do you think you can get away with it with these? It's ridiculous!"
As Wei Qing's voice fell, she took out a long-prepared document.
These documents recorded in detail how Uncle Li forged evidence step by step and put the blame on Dai Shiya.
Every account in the document has been carefully deduced and analyzed, clearly restoring the truth.
In the conference room, everyone's eyes were focused on the documents, and expressions of surprise, confusion, and shock were intertwined, forming a complex and interesting picture.
Everyone present, including those who questioned Dai Shiya at the beginning, gradually came to their senses.
They realized that they were blinded by Uncle Li's disguise.
Uncle Li's face turned even paler, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was about to fall.
Dai Shiya, like a queen standing high above, gracefully accepted everyone's attention.
"It seems that Uncle Li, do you have anything else to quibble about?" Dai Shiya's eyes were filled with a hint of cold sarcasm. She walked towards Uncle Li step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Uncle Li's heart.
Uncle Li was forced to retreat. He knew that he had been completely defeated. His conspiracy was as vulnerable as paper in front of Dai Shiya and Wei Qing.
At this moment, Dai Shiya, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "Today's matter ends here." She did not continue to question Uncle Li, nor did she ask him to plead guilty.
Instead, she turned and walked out of the meeting room.
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what she was up to.
But at this moment, Dai Shiya suddenly stopped, turned her head, and had a meaningful smile on her face.
"Let's go, Wei Qing." Dai Shiya walked out of the meeting room without looking back, leaving everyone stunned.
At the family surveillance center, Dai Shiya found what she wanted.
The surveillance video clearly showed that Uncle Li had a secret meeting with a mysterious man in black late at night.
The man in black handed a box full of cash to Uncle Li, and Uncle Li handed some confidential family documents to the man in black.
Dai Shiya's mouth curled up with a sneer.
"It seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind Uncle Li!" Dai Shiya whispered softly, with excitement flashing in her eyes, "This is even more interesting!"
"Next, it's time to have fun with them." She turned around and looked at Wei Qing, and the two smiled tacitly.
