Dai Shiya walked steadily towards the power transfer ceremony, each step was steady and powerful, as if it could crack the marble floor.
She wore a neatly tailored black suit today, which made her look even more stern, with a dignified look between her brows.
Wei Qing followed behind her, step by step, feeling the gazes from all around, some curious, some inquiring, some fearful, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of impending storm.
At the ceremony, family members gathered together, whispering incessantly.
The light from the crystal chandelier poured down, illuminating Dai Shiya's stern face and the uneasy looks of everyone.
Uncle Li, the little man, stood in the middle of the crowd at this time, his face pale, but still pretending to be calm. "Shiya, what do you mean? Bringing so many people here, are you trying to force the
emperor to abdicate?" Uncle Li's voice trembled slightly, trying to cover up his inner panic with words.
His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look Dai Shiya in the eye.
Dai Shiya sneered, her eyes as sharp as a knife, "Force the emperor to abdicate? Uncle Li, how can you say that? I'm just here to take back what belongs to me." Her voice was not loud, but it echoed in the spacious venue with unquestionable majesty.
"Your things? Everything in the family belongs to everyone. What right do you have to say it's yours?" Uncle Li incited the family members around him, "Don't be fooled by her. She just wants to take the family's property for herself!"
Some family members who didn't know the truth began to echo, and doubts came one after another, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
Dai Shiya remained calm, looking at Uncle Li firmly, as if she could see through all the conspiracies in his heart.
She slowly raised one hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
The noise gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes were focused on her, waiting for her next move.
Dai Shiya raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth and slowly said, "Uncle Li, do you think that what you did can really be concealed from the world?"
Dai Shiya's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.
"Uncle Li, do you think you can really hide what you did from the world?" She repeated this sentence again, and every word was chilly, like ice in winter, piercing people's skin.
She no longer gave Uncle Li any chance to quibble, and raised her hand to signal Wei Qing.
Wei Qing immediately understood, took out a stack of documents from the briefcase she carried with her, and distributed them to the family members present.
"This is the account of Uncle Li's misappropriation of family funds over the years by taking advantage of his position." Dai Shiya's voice was cold, but resounding, and every word hit everyone's heart like a hammer, "and there is evidence that he secretly colluded with outsiders and attempted to swallow up the family business."
The family members were in an uproar, flipping through the documents in their hands, their faces becoming more and more ugly.
The numbers on the account were shocking, and every stroke pointed to Uncle Li's greed and betrayal.
Those who had doubted Dai Shiya at first also changed sides at this moment.
Uncle Li's face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but found that all his words seemed so pale and powerless.
He looked at the faces around him who had once flattered him. At this moment, they all became the embodiment of anger, like prey surrounded by wild beasts. He felt unprecedented fear.
"No, this is impossible, this is fake!" Uncle Li shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to make a final struggle. His voice was hoarse like a broken bellows, "It's her, she framed me! Don't believe her!" He pointed at Dai Shiya, his fingers trembling, and his voice was full of despair.
Dai Shiya looked at his hysterical appearance, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She had expected that Uncle Li would not give up easily, and she had already made all preparations.
She snapped her fingers, and several bodyguards immediately stepped forward and surrounded Uncle Li.
Uncle Li saw this and knew that the situation was hopeless. A hint
of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. He suddenly pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at Dai Shiya. "In that case, let's die together!" He roared in despair and pulled the trigger.
The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly. Everyone opened their eyes wide in horror. Before they could scream, they were forcibly choked back. It seemed as if time had stood still.
But at this critical moment, Wei Qing was quick-witted and threw Dai Shiya to the ground. The bullet flew past her scalp and hit the marble column behind her, making a loud "bang" sound that echoed in the empty venue.
Dai Shiya felt a tingling pain from her scalp. She looked at Uncle Li with lingering fear. The gun in his hand was still emitting green smoke. His expression was crazy, like a trapped beast fighting.
"It seems you have a backup plan." Dai Shiya stood up and patted the non-existent dust on her body. Her tone was calm, as if she had not just experienced a life-and-death situation. "But I said, today belongs to me." She slowly raised her hand and looked at Uncle Li. Her eyes were full of confidence that she would win. Like a queen who ruled the world, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, leaving a meaningful sentence.
"The game is over."
Dai Shiya's eyes were as sharp as a hawk. She looked around and took in the expressions of shock, admiration, or flattery.
Uncle Li's crazy behavior became the catalyst for her to completely control the family.
She slowly walked to the podium. The sound of her high heels hitting the ground was particularly clear in the silent venue. Every step seemed to be stepping on everyone's heart.
"From today on, I, Dai Shiya, will officially take over all the affairs of the family." Her tone was firm and unquestionable. With the blessing of the microphone, her voice spread to every corner of the venue, deafening.
The applause sounded like thunder and lasted for a long time.
The family members stood up and looked at her with admiration, their faces full of smiles.
They knew that a new era had arrived, an era that belonged to Dai Shiya.
The light of the crystal chandelier fell on her, as if she had been coated with a layer of golden light, making her look even more dazzling.
Dai Shiya felt the joy of victory, and a surge of lofty sentiments and ambitions surged in her heart.
She knew that this road was not easy to walk, but she was fearless.
She wanted to lead the family to a new glory and let those who had despised her and framed her pay the price.
Wei Qing stood beside her, looking at her high-spirited appearance, with a gratified smile on her face.
She was happy for Dai Shiya and proud of their friendship.
They went through ups and downs hand in hand and finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
She gently held Dai Shiya's hand, conveying silent support and encouragement.
Dai Shiya held her hand back, feeling the warmth of her palm, and her heart was full of gratitude.
Cheers and congratulations came one after another, the fragrance of champagne filled the air, and the atmosphere on the scene was warm and cheerful.
Dai Shiya stood on a high place, overlooking everything, as if she was in the clouds.
She knew that this was just the beginning, and greater challenges were still to come.
She looked around and her eyes fell on an inconspicuous corner, where a man in black stood. He was slender and wore sunglasses, and his face could not be seen clearly.
He stared at Dai Shiya quietly, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and then turned and disappeared in the crowd.
Dai Shiya's heart trembled, and an uneasy premonition came to her heart.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered to Wei Qing: "It seems that the good show has just begun..."
Dai Shiya's eyes were fixed on that corner. The appearance of the man in black was like a twinkling star in the night sky. Although it was weak, it was enough to arouse her vigilance.
She winked at Wei Qing, and Wei Qing understood and quietly stepped aside to observe the movements around her.
"Sir, since you are here, why hide your head and show your tail?" Dai Shiya's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the man in black to hear clearly.
She did not use a questioning tone, but was as relaxed as chatting with an old friend.
The man in black slowly turned around and took off his sunglasses, revealing a sharp face. His eyes were deep, as if hiding endless secrets.
He did not answer Dai Shiya's question, but walked towards her, with an inexplicable sense of oppression in every step.
"You are really different from them." The man in black spoke, his voice was low and magnetic, like the music played by the finest cello, but with a hint of imperceptible coldness.
He stopped in front of Dai Shiya, his eyes swept across her face like a hawk, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Who are you?" Dai Shiya was not overwhelmed by his momentum. Her eyes were calm and her tone was firm, as if she had already expected this to happen.
The black-clad man raised his lips slightly, revealing a playful smile, "Me? You can call me 'Observer'." His voice was light, like a gust of wind, but the information contained in it made Dai Shiya's heart tremble.
"Are you in the same group with Uncle Li?" Dai Shiya's tone was a little tentative.
The black-clad man shook his head, and the smile on his lips remained, "I'm just a spectator, and I have no interest in the grievances and hatreds of your family." He paused and continued, "I appeared here just to witness with my own eyes what kind of ability you have."
Dai Shiya felt relieved. She could see that this man really seemed to have no connection with Uncle Li.
She relaxed her body and smiled slightly, "So, now that you have seen it, how do you feel?"
The black-clad man did not answer. His eyes swept across the audience again, and finally fixed on Dai Shiya, and said meaningfully, "The good show has just begun, hasn't it?" After that, he turned around and disappeared into the crowd again, as if he had never appeared.
Dai Shiya's eyes followed his figure until he disappeared.
The uneasiness in her heart did not completely disappear, but became stronger.
She knew that the appearance of this "observer" was definitely not accidental, but a harbinger of some deeper conspiracy.
She took a deep breath, turned and looked at the family members who supported her, with a confident smile on her face.
She knew that the cheers and praises in front of her were just a brief pause on the road ahead.
She wanted to lead the family to a new glory and let those who had despised her and framed her pay the price.
At this moment, the lights outside the venue suddenly flickered a few times, and a vague shadow appeared outside the glass door. He seemed to be watching everything in the venue.
The shadow was fleeting, as if it was an illusion, but Dai Shiya felt a deep chill.
She looked at Wei Qing beside her, her eyes full of determination: "Let's go, we should go back."
Wei Qing looked at her, nodded, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Well, it's time to go back."
