Chapter 93: Initial Attack to Reverse Dilemma

Dai Shiya stared at Dai Ziling coldly, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "Why am I here? It seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

Dai Ziling smiled contemptuously: "How can it be irrelevant? What you are doing now is related to the interests of the entire Dai family. Do you still think you can act recklessly like before?"

Dai Shiya ignored her provocation and said to the security guard again: "I emphasize again, I want to see the financial director, immediately!"

The security guard hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to let her go. He knew that if he offended Dai Shiya, the consequences would be even more serious.

Dai Shiya walked straight into the finance office and asked to see the accounts for the past three months. Although the financial director was reluctant, he had no choice but to do it under Dai Shiya's strong request.

Dai Shiya carefully read through each report, her sharp eyes catching any suspicious points. As time passed slowly, her brows became more and more furrowed. Finally, in a report of overseas investment, she found a huge amount of funds flowing into an unfamiliar account.

The account was registered in an offshore financial center, and Dai Zijian, a member of the Dai family branch, often went there. Dai Shiya's heart moved, and a bold guess emerged in her mind: Could it be that Dai Zijian colluded with competitors to transfer the company's assets?

In order to confirm her guess, Dai Shiya contacted Wei Qing and asked her to help investigate the detailed information of the offshore account. Wei Qing was very efficient and soon found out that the holder of the account was Dai Zijian.

Dai Shiya took the evidence and went straight to Dai Zijian.

"Zijian, I hope you can explain what's going on with this money?" Dai Shiya put the document in front of Dai Zijian with a cold tone.

When Dai Zijian saw the document, his face turned pale. He pretended to be calm and said, "I don't know what you are talking about. This must be a forgery!"

"Fake?" Dai Shiya sneered, "Do you think I would come to you without any preparation?"

She took out her phone and played a recording, in which Dai Zijian and his competitors could be clearly heard talking about how to embezzle the Dai family's assets.

Dai Zijian's face became even uglier. He didn't expect that Dai Shiya actually had such important evidence. He shouted angrily, "You are framing me! You are framing me!"

His shouting attracted many people from the Dai family, who gathered around and accused Dai Shiya of creating trouble and destroying family unity.

Dai Ziling also took the opportunity to fan the flames: "I told you, she is not really doing this for the good of the Dai family, she just wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize power!"

Dai Shiya was surrounded by people, but she showed no fear. She looked around at everyone with a firm and cold look in her eyes: "The evidence I have is enough to prove everything. If you don't believe it, you can go check it out!"

She paused, her eyes fell on Dai Zijian, and she said word by word: "Dai Zijian, do you think you can really hide what you did? I will make you pay the price!"

Dai Shiya turned and left, leaving behind a commotion. She knew that this was just the beginning... Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's departing back, her heart filled with worry. She took out her cell phone, ready to continue investigating, but found a strange text message on her phone: "Don't check anymore, otherwise..."

The ellipsis at the end of the message made Wei Qing's heart tremble, and a chill ran down her spine. Who was it? Who was warning her? She clenched her phone tightly, her face turning pale. This message undoubtedly confirmed her previous guess: someone was secretly monitoring them.

She immediately deleted the text message and looked around vigilantly. Although Dai Shiya's counterattack was beautiful, it also completely angered those people. They would definitely not give up. Wei Qing knew that she had to be more careful, not only to protect herself, but also to protect Shiya.

She decided to change her strategy and no longer investigate the offshore account directly. Instead, she started from the side and collected information about the daily activities of Dai Zijian and other people involved in the case, as well as the financial transactions between them. She believed that as long as she was careful, she would always find clues.

In the next few days, Wei Qing followed Dai Zijian like a shadow, recording his every move with a camera and a recorder. She found that Dai Zijian frequently went in and out of high-end clubs and met secretly with some unidentified people. She even photographed Dai Zijian handing over a huge sum of money to a mysterious woman.

However, Wei Qing's actions did not completely escape the eyes and ears of those people. One night, she followed Dai Zijian to a remote warehouse, and when she was about to take pictures, she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. She quickly turned around and found two men in black approaching her.

Wei Qing was startled and turned to run. The man in black was chasing her closely. Wei Qing ran desperately, her heart pounding and her adrenaline soaring. She ran to an alley and was about to be caught up. In desperation, she hid behind a trash can.

The man in black chased into the alley, looked around, and didn't find any trace of Wei Qing, so he left cursing. Wei Qing hid behind a trash can in shock, and didn't dare to come out until she was sure it was safe.

Dai Shiya was very worried about Wei Qing's experience. She knew that if she continued to investigate, Wei Qing would probably be in danger again. In order to protect her friend, Dai Shiya had to temporarily stop the investigation and wait for the right opportunity.

Dai Shiya's "quitting" made Dai Zijian, Dai Ziling and others even more proud. They thought Dai Shiya had given up resistance and began to transfer company assets more recklessly. Dai Ziling even publicly mocked Dai Shiya at a family gathering: "I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you are just like this."

Dai Shiya just smiled faintly and did not refute. She knew that now was not the time to fight back. She needed to wait for the right opportunity to defeat the enemy with one strike.

Late at night, the light was still on in Dai Shiya's study. She sat at the table, holding a list of family members in her hand, her eyes moving slowly over it. She circled a few names with a red pen, then picked up the phone... "Third Uncle, there are some things I want to talk to you about..."

Late at night, the Dai family's old house was shrouded in silence, with only the light from the study stubbornly piercing the darkness. Dai Shiya dialed a number, and a low cough came from the other end of the phone, "Hello?" "Uncle San, it's me, Shiya." Dai Shiya's voice was very low, but it couldn't hide the anxiety and determination in her tone. "There are some things I want to talk to you about, about the family and the company..."

In the following days, Dai Shiya was like an experienced chess player, carefully laying out her moves. She secretly contacted several upright family members who were relatively distant from the Dai brothers, and told them her findings and concerns.

At first, these family members were skeptical about Dai Shiya's words, but when she produced some preliminary evidence, they all showed shock and anger on their faces. "How could Zijian and the others do this?" "It's simply pushing the family business into the fire pit!" "Shiya, don't worry, we will definitely stand by you!"

Dai Shiya secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that she was not fighting alone.

However, Dai Zijian and his allies were not easy to deal with. They soon noticed Dai Shiya's actions and began to put various pressures and temptations on the family members she had won over.

"Third brother, you have to think it over. Standing on Dai Shiya's side now means you are against us!" "As long as you are willing to remain neutral, I can guarantee that you will gain greater benefits from the company's new projects!"

The temptation of money and the coercion of power caused some family members who originally stood on Dai Shiya's side to waver. Some even secretly revealed Dai Shiya's plan to Dai Zijian...

Dai Shiya was keenly aware of the undercurrents within the camp. She knew that she had to find the key to turning the situation around as soon as possible, otherwise the alliance she had worked so hard to build would likely fall apart.

She opened the list of family members again, and her eyes fell on a name that she had repeatedly stroked. "It seems that I can only take a risk..." She murmured to herself, with a flash of determination in her eyes. Dai Shiya rubbed her aching temple and breathed a sigh of relief. Outside the window, the lights of the city were like a flowing galaxy, but not a single one of them caught her eye. She stood up and walked to the window, looking into the distance with a firm gaze, as if she had penetrated through the layers of fog and saw the dawn of victory.

"We can't wait any longer. We must take the initiative!" She called Wei Qing, "Help me find someone. The sooner the better!"

Wei Qing was very efficient. In less than half a day, she sent a detailed document to Dai Shiya's mailbox. Dai Shiya browsed it carefully, frowning more and more. This person was called Liu Kai. He was once an ordinary employee in the financial department of Dai's Group. Because of his outstanding work ability, he was highly appreciated by Dai's father. Later, for some reason, he suddenly resigned and disappeared.

"It seems that it is not easy to find him." Dai Shiya murmured to herself.

According to the idea provided by Wei Qing, Dai Shiya returned to her hometown, a remote small county town, after learning that Liu Kai had resigned. Without any hesitation, she immediately booked the earliest flight and went there alone.

It was already evening when they arrived at the small county town. Dai Shiya ignored the fatigue of the journey and found Liu Kai's home according to the address. It was an old two-story building with mottled exterior walls and weeds in the yard, which looked a bit run-down.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, walked up and knocked on the door gently. The knocking sound was particularly clear in the quiet yard, but no one responded. She knocked a few more times, but still no one responded.

Is Liu Kai not at home? Just as Dai Shiya was about to leave, the neighbor next door heard the noise and came out.

"Girl, who are you looking for?" The neighbor was a kind-looking old lady who looked at Dai Shiya curiously.

"Hello, grandma. My name is Dai Shiya. I want to look for Liu Kai. Is he at home?"

"You are..." The old lady looked Dai Shisu up and down, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"I'm his friend. I met him when I was working in the city."

"Oh, so that's how it is." The old lady suddenly realized, "Xiao Liu, he hasn't been back for several years..."

Dai Shiya's heart sank suddenly, "Then do you know where he went?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "This child has a miserable life..." She sighed and said nothing more.

Dai Shiya was full of doubts and uneasiness, but she did not give up. She wandered at the door of the old lady's house for a long time, but she never waited for Liu Kai. As night fell and the lights came on, Dai Shiya turned around and left reluctantly, but in a small restaurant not far away, she saw a familiar figure...

"Liu Kai?" Dai Shiya called out tentatively. The figure trembled noticeably and turned around slowly.
