Chapter 124: Family Troubles Again

When Dai Shiya returned to the old house of the Dai family, what greeted her was not the expected calm, but an increasingly fierce family dispute.

In the living room, several uncles were arguing loudly, spitting everywhere, and everyone's face was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

The servants lowered their heads and dared not breathe. The atmosphere in the whole old house was suffocating.

"Shiya, you are finally back! Look, what a mess it is now!" Second uncle Dai Jianguo was the first to find Dai Shiya. He pointed to the documents scattered on the ground in front of him, and his tone was full of complaints. "Since you took over the family affairs, the company's performance has been declining. Now even the old customers who have cooperated for many years are withdrawing their investment!"

Dai Shiya rubbed her aching temples and suppressed her irritability.

The death of the middle-aged man and the name "Obsidian" were like a heavy stone pressing on her heart, making her breathless.

Now, new problems have arisen within the family, making her even more anxious.

"Uncle, what's the specific situation? Please calm down and talk slowly." Dai Shiya tried to keep her tone calm and walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Calm down? How can I calm down? If you continue like this, the Dai family will be ruined by you!" Uncle Dai Jianmin also joined the battle, his face anxious, "Shiya, I'm not saying anything to you, you are a girl, how can you understand business? It's better to leave the family affairs to more experienced people to manage!"

Aunt Four added sarcastically, "That's right, Shiya, look at what you have done to the family? You only know how to run outside all day, and I don't know what you are busy with. You don't care about the family affairs at all."

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions.

She looked around and found that everyone's face was full of dissatisfaction and doubt.

The noisy voices of family members pierced her eardrums like sharp needles, making her feel dizzy.

She knew that this family dispute was not just a simple internal conflict, and there must be deeper reasons behind it.

She closed her eyes tiredly, feeling exhausted physically and mentally.

Every question was like a mountain pressing down on her, making her almost unable to breathe.

The feeling of depression spread like a tide, filling the entire old house.

"Enough." Dai Shiya opened her eyes suddenly, her tone was cold, "What are you arguing about! Shut up!"

Dai Shiya's voice was not loud, but it was like a thunder, instantly quieting the noisy living room.

Everyone was stunned, with the aftermath of the quarrel still on their faces. For a moment, the only sound in the living room was the heavy breathing of everyone.

The air seemed to solidify, and the feeling of depression became stronger, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Dai Shiya slowly stood up, her eyes like torches, sweeping over everyone present.

Those uncles who were originally arrogant, under her gaze, all looked away uncomfortably.

She could feel that there was dissatisfaction, doubt, and a hint of hidden fear in those eyes.

"Have you quarreled enough?" Dai Shiya's tone was calm, but with an unquestionable majesty, "If you have quarreled enough, listen to me."

She paused and gave everyone a buffer time.

Then, she continued, "You guys were arguing so fiercely just now, just because you think that I'm not managing the family well, which has led to the decline in the company's performance, right?"

Second uncle Dai Jianguo wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but was stopped by Dai Shiya's eyes.

"The decline in performance is indeed a fact, I will not deny it." Dai Shiya's mouth curled up a sneer, "But have you ever thought about why so many problems suddenly appeared at this time? Is my ability really insufficient, or is someone deliberately playing tricks behind the scenes?"

Third uncle Dai Jianmin's face changed, and his eyes flickered.

Fourth aunt also lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look at Dai Shiya.

"Since I took over the family affairs, I have been working hard to learn. I admit that I am inexperienced, but I am definitely not stupid." Dai Shiya's voice was resounding, "I will not let anyone use the conflicts within the family to achieve their ulterior motives!"

She walked up to Dai Jianmin, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Uncle San, you just said that I, a girl, don't understand business. Then, may I ask, how much do you know about the current situation of the company? What constructive suggestions do you have?"

Dai Jianmin was speechless and blushed. He stammered and couldn't speak.

Dai Shiya retracted her gaze and turned to everyone, her voice cold: "I am sure that there must be someone behind the turmoil within the family this time. This person may be sitting among us."

"Have you noticed that the rumors that have been circulating recently are getting more and more outrageous? Some small problems that could have been solved internally have been magnified to the point that everyone knows about it?"

Everyone's face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

They began to whisper and talk about it.

"Yes, the negative news about the company has been spreading very fast recently, and many of them are just hearsay."

"Yes, I thought it was true before, but I didn't expect that someone was deliberately making trouble."

Dai Shiya looked at their gradually sobering expressions, and a trace of relief appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew that she had initially stabilized the situation.

"Everyone doesn't have to worry too much." Dai Shiya softened her tone, "I will find out the mastermind as soon as possible and give the family peace."

She paused, her eyes fell on Wei Qing who had been silent, and nodded gently.

Wei Qing understood, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Shiya, you said you want to find out the mastermind?" Wei Qing suddenly spoke, breaking the silence, "I'm afraid it's not that easy, after all, he is hiding in the dark, and it may take some effort to find him."

Dai Shiya did not respond, but looked at Wei Qing deeply, and said slowly: "Not necessarily." As

soon as Dai Shiya finished speaking, the brief tranquility in the living room was broken again.

Second uncle Dai Jianguo slammed the table and said angrily: "Shiya, what do you mean by this? Are we uncles behind this? You are doubting us!" He pointed at Dai Shiya, his fingers trembling slightly because of excitement, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper, like a map full of gullies.

Third uncle Dai Jianmin also echoed: "That's right, Shiya, you are too much. We are all family, how could we do such a thing?" His voice was full of anger, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Fourth aunt sneered at the side: "Hehe, I think some people just like to shift the blame to others, and blame others when they can't do it well." The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a disdainful smile, as if everything was under control.

Dai Shiya looked at them calmly, as if she was watching a boring farce.

She could clearly feel the tension in the air, and those distrustful eyes were like countless fine needles, trying to pierce her pretended calm.

She smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in her smile

. "Second uncle, third uncle, fourth aunt, you misunderstood." Dai Shiya's voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable majesty. "I didn't say that you were the mastermind behind the scenes. I was just stating a fact. There was a problem within the family, and someone wanted to interfere. This is obvious." She paused, and her eyes became sharp. "If you really didn't do it, why are you so excited?"

Second uncle's face was livid, and the finger pointing at Dai Shiya trembled even more: "You! You are quibbling! I tell you, the Dai family is not just you who has the final say!" He roared angrily, and his saliva almost sprayed on Dai Shiya's face.

"Second uncle, please calm down." Wei Qing's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of comfort in her tone, "Shiya is just analyzing the problem, and she doesn't mean to blame anyone." She gently patted Dai Shiya's shoulder and gave her an encouraging look.

Dai Shiya turned her head and looked at Wei Qing .

She took a deep breath and turned her eyes to the people present again. She decided not to give in.

"Second uncle, you are right. I am not the only one who has the final say in the Dai family. However, I am now the helmsman of the Dai family. Everything needs my permission." Dai Shiya spoke slowly, her tone firm and powerful. She wanted to let these people know that she was not a soft persimmon that could be squeezed at will. "I will find out all the truth and will not let anyone who hurts the Dai family go!"

The third uncle's face was gloomy, staring at Dai Shiya, as if he wanted to see through her.

He snorted coldly and said, "Okay, since you are so confident, let's wait and see." There was a hint of provocation in his tone, as if waiting for Dai Shiya's failure.

The fourth aunt sneered on the side: "Humph, don't shoot yourself in the foot when the time comes." She curled her lips in disdain.

Dai Shiya ignored their provocation. She turned her head to look at Wei Qing and said softly, "Let's go." Wei Qing nodded, and the two left the living room side by side, leaving a group of family members looking at each other.

As soon as Dai Shiya and Wei Qing walked out of the living room, Wei Qing said, "They still don't trust you." There was a hint of worry in her tone.

Dai Shiya stopped and looked at Wei Qing, with a mysterious smile on her lips: "Trust? I don't need their trust, what I need is their obedience." She paused, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Since they don't obey, let them know the consequences of disobedience."

Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's confident smile, smiled and said, "What do you want to do?"

Dai Shiya smiled meaningfully, did not answer, but whispered to Wei Qing: "Let's go to the study."

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing returned to the study, closed the door, and isolated themselves from the chaotic world outside.

Dai Shiya walked to the desk and took out a document from the drawer, which was the company's latest financial report.

She handed the document to Wei Qing, pointed to several obvious abnormal data, and said: "Look here, and here, these data have obviously been tampered with."

Wei Qing carefully checked the report, frowning, and tapped her fingers on the report lightly, making a crisp sound.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of flipping papers and the slight breathing of the two people were heard.

The sun shone through the window on the two people, casting two long shadows on the floor.

"There is indeed a problem with these data." Wei Qing raised her head with sharp eyes, "It seems that someone is deliberately creating losses to undermine your prestige."

Dai Shiya nodded, "She walked to the window and looked at the prosperous city outside the window, but her heart was cold.

She knew that this family dispute was much more complicated than she had imagined, and the conspiracy behind it was even more unfathomable.

"The question now is, how do we find out who is behind this?" Wei Qing walked to Dai Shiya, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Dai Shiya turned around, with a confident smile on her lips: "I already have some clues. "She took out a small USB flash drive from her pocket and shook it in front of Wei Qing, "Maybe the answer we want is hidden in it."

The two returned to the desk and inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.

A series of complex codes appeared on the screen, and Wei Qing skillfully operated the keyboard to crack the password of the USB flash drive.

The room fell silent again, with only the sound of keyboard tapping and the hum of the computer running.

With a crisp prompt tone, the password of the USB flash drive was successfully cracked.

An encrypted file was displayed on the screen. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing looked at each other, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in their eyes.

They clicked on the file, and the file contained a secret account book, which recorded all the improper transactions of the company in recent years, as well as the names of the people involved in these transactions.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing carefully checked the contents of the account book, and their faces became more and more solemn.

"These people..." Wei Qing pointed to several names on the list, her tone full of shock, "They are actually involved in it! "

Dai Shiya's face also became extremely ugly. She did not expect that these people would betray the family and do such a thing.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

Dai Shiya copied the contents of the account book, then formatted the USB drive and completely destroyed the data inside.

She printed out the copied account book, handed a copy to Wei Qing, and said, "This account book is our weapon for counterattack."

Wei Qing took the account book with a firm look: "I will hand this account book to the police as soon as possible and bring these people to justice."

Dai Shiya nodded, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "This time, I will make them pay the price!"

Dai Shiya took another account book, her eyes fell on one of the names, her eyes were complicated, and she murmured: "'Obsidian'... Who are you?" She gripped the account book tightly, her knuckles turned white, as if she was going to crush it.
