Chapter 125 Another Path to Finding Clues

Dai Shiya tightly grasped the printed account book, as if holding a sharp knife.

Each name in the account book was like a time bomb that could explode at any time and blow her to pieces.

The one that concerned her most was the code name - "Obsidian".

She took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the study. A simple sandalwood scent came to her face, mixed with the faint gardenia scent that drifted in from the window. This fragrance should have been refreshing, but at this moment it made her feel inexplicably depressed.

The corridor was dimly lit, with only a few wall lamps on the wall emitting a faint light, stretching her figure long and looking a little lonely.

The high heels stepped on the smooth marble floor, making a crisp "click" sound, echoing in the empty corridor, as if knocking on her heart, again and again, increasing her tension.

Dai Shiya followed the records in the account book and came to a storage room that was rarely used.

The smell of dust in the air made her frown.

She turned on the flashlight on her phone, and the dim light illuminated the small space, which was filled with various sundries and covered with thick dust.

She carefully searched, and she carefully checked every item, fearing that she would miss any clues.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the storage room was terribly quiet, with only the sound of her rummaging through things and her increasingly rapid breathing.

Her palms were slightly sweaty, and a thin layer of sweat also seeped out of her back, which was close to her silk shirt, bringing a sticky touch.

Suddenly, she touched a hard object covered with thick dust.

She carefully brushed away the dust, revealing an ancient wooden box.

The wooden box was carved with intricate patterns, and it was cold to the touch, and a chill ran from her fingertips to her heart.

Dai Shiya's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she had a hunch that this wooden box might contain the secret of "obsidian".

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and slowly opened the wooden box.

In the box, a black gem lay quietly. Under the dim light, it emitted a dim glow, like a star in the night, mysterious and profound.

Dai Shiya reached out to pick up the gem, and a cold touch came from her fingertips, making her shiver.

At this moment, a low voice came from behind: "What are you looking for?"

Dai Shiya pretended to be flustered, and the gem slipped from her hand and fell into the wooden box with a "pop" sound, making a muffled sound.

She turned around and saw a tall man standing at the door. Against the light, she couldn't see his face clearly, but only a vague outline, like a ghost, which made her heart tighten.

The dim light in the corridor spread behind him, like a circle of blurred halo, adding a bit of mystery.

"Huo, Mr. Huo..." Dai Shiya stammered, her voice trembling slightly, like a frightened deer, pitiful.

She lowered her head, clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, her knuckles turned white, and tried to pretend to be scared.

The man approached slowly, his leather shoes stepped on the marble floor, making a dull "thump thump" sound. Every step seemed to step on Dai Shiya's heart, making her feel suffocated.

He bent down and picked up the gem that fell into the wooden box. The cold touch made him slightly startled.

"This obsidian is very special." The man's low voice echoed in the small storage room, with a subtle tremor. This subtle change did not escape Dai Shiya's keen ears.

She secretly raised her eyes, and in the dim light, she finally saw the man's face clearly-Huo Chengfei, the financial director of Dai's Group, a key figure who was unknown in the company but controlled all the financial lifelines of the company.

"I just... just took a look..." Dai Shiya's voice was still trembling, but with a hint of subtle temptation.

Huo Chengfei put the obsidian back into the wooden box, closed the lid, and handed it to Dai Shiya, "This thing is very dangerous, don't touch it casually." His tone was a warning, but also revealed a hint of subtle panic. His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Dai Shiya's eyes.

Dai Shiya took the wooden box, and her fingertips touched Huo Chengfei's hand. She felt a trace of cold dampness, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, which made her heart shudder.

Now!

Dai Shiya raised her head suddenly, her eyes were like torches, and she looked directly into Huo Chengfei's eyes, "Mr. Huo, you seem very nervous?"

Huo Chengfei's face suddenly changed, and the panic in his eyes could no longer be concealed. He subconsciously took a step back, but bumped into the pile of debris behind him, making a loud "crash".

The dust was everywhere, choking him and making him cough.

"Obsidian, and your recent frequent overseas transfers, Mr. Huo, do you have anything else to explain?" Dai Shiya pressed on step by step, her tone cold, like the horn of judgment.

Huo Chengfei's face was pale, his lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.

Dai Shiya exposed Huo Chengfei's actions in public, and the people around him were in an uproar, looking at Huo Chengfei with contempt and anger.

She felt a burst of refreshing, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been seen, and all the haze had been swept away.

Everyone admired Dai Shiya even more. With her weak body, she could see through everything and pull out the enemies hidden in the dark one by one. This wisdom and courage were admirable.

Dai Shiya looked at Huo Chengfei, who was limp on the ground, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "The game has just begun."

Dai Shiya stood in front of the French window, and the neon lights of the city blurred into a strange ocean in her eyes.

The night wind blew her long hair, and the silky touch gently slid across her cheeks, but it could not soothe the surging waves in her heart.

Huo Chengfei's capture was like cutting off a puppet string, but it made her more clearly aware that the black hand behind all this was still hidden in the fog.

She looked into the distance, and the bright lights were like cold starlight in her eyes, emitting an unsettling light.

The air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, mixed with the unique smell of gasoline in the city night, making her feel inexplicably suffocated.

"Shiya, are you okay?" Wei Qing's voice broke the silence in the room.

She walked to Dai Shiya and gently held her hand. The warmth of her palm passed over, making Dai Shiya feel a little comforted.

Dai Shiya turned around and met Wei Qing's worried eyes, and forced a smile, "It's okay, just a little tired."

Wei Qing did not expose her disguise, and handed her the tablet in her hand, "This is the information provided by Huo Chengfei that I sorted out. Maybe I can find some clues."

Dai Shiya took the tablet and her fingertips slid across the cold screen. Lines of data jumped in front of her eyes, like jumping notes, playing a strange melody.

The room was very quiet, with only the slight hum of the air conditioner and the occasional sound of the two flipping papers. This silence further set off the solemn atmosphere.

The two sat side by side on the sofa, and the dim light sprinkled on them, outlining their focused expressions.

Dai Shiya's slender fingers slid quickly on the screen, browsing the information provided by Huo Chengfei, while Wei Qing recorded key information in a notebook beside her, and occasionally put forward her own opinions.

They cooperated tacitly, like two precision-operated instruments, biting each other and fitting perfectly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the room was filled with the aroma of coffee, mixed with a faint scent of books. This warm atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the tension outside, like a safe harbor, providing them with a moment of rest.

Suddenly, Dai Shiya stopped her movements, her eyes locked on a line of inconspicuous text on the screen, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

She took a deep breath, turned her head and looked at Wei Qing, her tone solemn, "I found the online of 'Obsidian'..."

Wei Qing raised her head suddenly, staring at Dai Shiya with burning eyes, waiting for her next words.

"Yes..." Dai Shiya paused and said a name word by word.

Wei Qing's face turned pale instantly, and the pen in her hand fell to the ground with a "snap", making a crisp sound that was particularly harsh in the silent room.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and slowly uttered the name: "... Lu Jingming."

Wei Qing's face turned pale, as if all the blood had been drained.

Lu Jingming, it was actually Lu Jingming!

This name was like a thunder, exploding in her mind, shaking her dizzy.

Lu Jingming, their mutual friend, the gentle and elegant Lu Jingming, turned out to be the mastermind behind the scenes?

!

"Impossible..." Wei Qing muttered to herself, unable to accept this cruel reality.

"I know this is hard to accept, but the evidence is conclusive." Dai Shiya's tone was steady and firm, and she handed the tablet to Wei Qing, "Look for yourself."

Wei Qing took the tablet tremblingly, and lines of data jumped in front of her eyes, like cold characters, stinging her eyes.

Every transaction in Huo Chengfei's overseas accounts clearly points to Lu Jingming. The chain of evidence is complete and tight, and there is no doubt about it.

Wei Qing felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold.

She bit her lips tightly, trying to restrain the trembling in her heart and not let herself lose her composure.

Dai Shiya looked at Wei Qing's reaction, and her heart ached.

She knew how much of a blow this news was to Wei Qing.

But now is not the time to be sad, they must act as soon as possible to stop Lu Jingming's conspiracy.

"Shiya, what should we do now?" Wei Qing's voice was trembling, but also full of determination.

"Fight back." Dai Shiya's"

Dai Shiya quickly mobilized the resources in her hands and anonymously reported Lu Jingming's evidence of guilt to the relevant departments.

At the same time, she used the power of the media to make public the evidence that Lu Jingming manipulated the company's finances and enriched himself.

When the news came out, the entire business community was in an uproar.

Lu Jingming's name instantly became the target of public criticism, his reputation plummeted, and the company's stock plummeted.

Lu Jingming was caught off guard by the sudden blow. He ran around anxiously, trying to save the situation, but found that he was already in a quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.

He never thought that his carefully planned conspiracy The conspiracy was so easily shattered by Dai Shiya.

The onlookers were amazed at Dai Shiya's thundering methods. They all speculated, what kind of power is hidden in this seemingly weak woman?

Dai Shiya looked at Lu Jingming's embarrassed appearance and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

But she knew that this was just the beginning.

Behind Lu Jingming, there is a bigger force controlling everything.

From Huo Chengfei, Dai Shiya learned a more important clue-"Night Owl".

This mysterious organization is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Dai Shiya's expression became serious, and she felt that a bigger storm was coming...

"Wei Qing," Dai Shiya's voice was low and firm, "we must be prepared."
