Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya and nodded solemnly.
In the room, only the rustling sound of turning pages and the subtle sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper broke the silence.
Dai Shiya's slender fingers pinched a thin piece of paper - the "night owl" clue left by Huo Chengfei, her eyes focused, as if everything around her had disappeared. The hustle and
bustle of traffic outside the window, the subtle footsteps of servants, and even Wei Qing's occasional cough could not disturb her thoughts at the moment.
The sun shone through the French windows, casting a golden spot on the floor, illuminating her slightly frowned brows and her eyes that were shining with sharp light.
The air was filled with a faint aroma of coffee, mixed with the smell of ink on the pages of the book, but it did not distract her at all.
She seemed to be in a vacuum world, with only the piece of paper and her brain running at high speed.
"Night owl... Night owl..." Dai Shiya chewed on these two words repeatedly, as if she wanted to taste something special from them.
She matched the clues in her hand with all the information fragments she had collected before, and pieced them together like a puzzle.
Lu Jingming's abnormal behavior, Huo Chengfei's mysterious disappearance, and all the seemingly unrelated events before were vaguely connected at this moment, forming a huge network.
Her breathing gradually became rapid, and her heart began to beat violently.
Suddenly, Dai Shiya's pen tip suddenly stopped, leaving a heavy ink mark on the paper.
She raised her head, her eyes flashing with excitement.
"I understand!" Although her voice was not loud, it was filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"You solved it?" Wei Qing asked in surprise, and immediately walked to Dai Shiya's side.
Dai Shiya handed the paper in her hand to Wei Qing, pointing to several key points and explaining: "Look, 'Night Owl' is not a person's name, but a code name for an organization! Their target..." Dai Shiya paused, her tone became solemn, "It's the entire Dai Group!" She explained the whole conspiracy and the ultimate goal of "Night Owl". Wei Qing's face became more and more solemn, and her eyes were full of shock and worry.
Dai Shiya's inference was logical and the evidence was solid, which impressed everyone present.
The news spread quickly, and the entire Dai family was shocked. Everyone looked at Dai Shiya with admiration and awe.
She successfully uncovered most of the truth of the conspiracy, won the victory in this intellectual contest, and also avoided a huge crisis for the Dai family.
"Shiya, you are so amazing!" Wei Qing exclaimed sincerely.
Dai Shiya smiled slightly, but there was a hint of unnoticeable solemnity in her smile.
She knew that this was just the beginning.
Although the true face of the "Night Owl" organization has gradually become clear, the real challenge has just begun.
She looked out the window. Night had fallen. The city lights were bright, but they could not cover up the crisis of undercurrents.
"Next..." Before Dai Shiya finished speaking, a rapid phone ring suddenly broke the silence of the room...
The phone ring sharply pierced the tense atmosphere in the room and broke the brief calm.
Dai Shiya frowned slightly, and the excitement in her eyes was instantly replaced by vigilance.
She picked up the phone, and before she had time to speak, a harsh electronic noise came from the receiver, followed by a cold and low voice, as if it came from the depths of hell, with undisguised malice: "Dai Shiya, you are very smart, but smart people often die faster." As soon as
the voice fell, the lights in the room suddenly went out and fell into darkness.
The originally noisy city outside the window seemed to have pressed the mute button, and everything became eerily silent.
Dai Shiya felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air, irritating her nasal cavity.
She immediately realized that this was by no means an accident, but a long-planned attack.
At the moment when darkness fell, there was a "bang! bang!" sound from the glass window of the room, as if something was hitting the glass violently.
Then, the sound of broken glass rang out one after another, like the call of the god of death.
Dai Shiya pulled Wei Qing and quickly hid behind the wall. She could feel Wei Qing's body trembling slightly, but she had to stay calm at this moment.
"Shiya, they..." Wei Qing's voice was trembling.
"Don't be afraid!" Dai Shiya whispered, with unquestionable firmness in her tone.
She quickly looked around, trying to find a glimmer of life in the darkness.
She knew that she had to fight back immediately.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nervous mood, and quickly reviewed the "Night Owl" conspiracy that she had just sorted out in her mind. She
understood that the other party launched the attack because she had touched their core interests.
In this case, let's use the enemy's trick against them and let the enemy suffer the consequences!
She quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and with the faint light of the screen, she quickly entered a series of instructions on the screen and sent them to the pre-arranged dark line.
Then, she dialed another number on her mobile phone, her tone cold and firm: "Action!"
Almost at the same time, there was a commotion outside the originally silent room, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps and gunfire.
The men in black who tried to rush into the room were quickly countered by the well-trained bodyguards of the Dai family.
The battle between the two sides plunged the entire villa area into chaos.
Dai Shiya sneered, took a prepared pistol from Wei Qing, and gently pulled the safety bolt. In the darkness, her bright eyes were like a hawk in the dark night, emitting a sharp light.
She knew clearly that this was just a small counterattack, and the real battle had just begun.
"It seems that tonight's night is destined not to be peaceful." Dai Shiya said softly, with a hint of excitement in her tone, as if welcoming a grand battle.
She looked at Wei Qing, her eyes full of complicated emotions. Just as she was about to speak, a voice came from the door: "Miss Dai, we meet again..." The
smell of gunpowder gradually dissipated, the sirens outside the villa wailed, and the flashing red and blue lights broke the silence of the night.
Dai Shiya stood in front of the broken French window, the night wind rolled up her long hair, and the strands brushed across her cold face.
She looked at the dark blue sky, with stars, but not as dazzling as the resolute light flashing in her eyes.
This victory was not easy, but it only revealed the tip of the iceberg, and more difficult challenges were still to come.
She took a deep breath of the air with the smell of gunpowder, feeling the tension and uneasiness in the air.
Wei Qing gently hugged Dai Shiya from behind, she could feel Dai Shiya's body tense and trembling slightly.
"It's okay, Shiya, everything is over." Wei Qing's voice was choked with a little sob, and also with the relief of surviving the disaster.
Dai Shiya gently patted Wei Qing's hand and hugged her in her arms.
The warm body temperature was transmitted through the thin clothes, dispelling the chill of the night and soothing the uneasiness in my heart.
"Thank you, Wei Qing, for always being with me." Dai Shiya's voice was a little hoarse, but with a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's warmth and heartbeat. This silent hug was better than a thousand words.
Outside the French window, the fire flickered and the voices were noisy, but they did not disturb their tranquility at all.
This warm atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with the previous tension and danger, and it was even more precious.
After a long time, Dai Shiya gently pushed Wei Qing away and looked out the window again.
The sounds of police cars and ambulances gradually faded away, and the noise returned to calm, leaving only the mess on the ground and the lingering smell of blood in the air, silently telling the fierce battle that had just happened.
Dai Shiya knew that this battle was just the beginning, and the real enemy was still hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to move.
"Let's go." Dai Shiya said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone, but also with unquestionable determination.
She turned and walked to the depths of the room, her back straight and proud, like a female warrior about to embark on a journey.
Wei Qing followed her silently,
"Wait." Dai Shiya suddenly stopped and her eyes fell on a scattered document on the desk, on which the "Night Owl" logo was clearly printed.
She bent down and picked up the document,
"It seems that there are some things we haven't figured out yet..." Dai Shiya's voice was low and calm, as if she was talking to herself, or to Wei Qing.
She slowly unfolded the document, her eyes fell on the words on it, and her brows gradually frowned...
A low voice suddenly came from behind: "I think I can tell you something..."
Dai Shiya stood in a messy study, the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
She gently stroked the wound on her arm scratched by the flying glass fragments, and a slight pain made her more sober.
The attack tonight came suddenly, but it was also within her expectations.
Touching the core interests of "Night Owl" will inevitably lead to a counterattack, but she did not expect that the other party's actions would be so swift and fierce.
"They are more dangerous than we thought." Dai Shiya whispered, with a hint of solemnity in her tone.
She recalled the battle just now, and every detail was clearly imprinted in her mind.
The enemy's well-trained, tacit cooperation, and the desperate madness made her feel a little uneasy.
This is not just a group of desperate criminals, but more like a well-trained private army.
"There must be a bigger force behind them." Dai Shiya's tone became more affirmative.
She cast her eyes on Wei Qing, "We must be prepared to meet greater challenges."
Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya's determined eyes, and her heart was full of admiration and trust.
She knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, Dai Shiya would lead them to overcome them and eventually win.
The servants and bodyguards around also felt the powerful aura emanating from Dai Shiya. They looked at her with respect, as if she was the god in their hearts who could lead them to the light.
Dai Shiya turned her eyes back to the document in her hand. With the weak light, she carefully read every word on it, trying to find more clues.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped on an inconspicuous symbol in the document. It was a pattern similar to an eye, slightly different from the "Night Owl" logo, but with some kind of secret connection.
"What is this?" Dai Shiya whispered to herself, with a huge question in her heart.
She compared this symbol with all the information fragments she had collected before, trying to find the answer.
As she studied in depth, a larger and more complex conspiracy gradually surfaced.
Behind the "Night Owl" organization, there was actually another force hidden. Their purpose was not only to control the Dai Group, but...
Dai Shiya's pupils suddenly shrank. She finally understood the ultimate goal of "Night Owl" and the meaning of the mysterious symbol.
"I see..." Dai Shiya smiled bitterly. She had never thought that she would be involved in such a shocking conspiracy.
She slowly closed the document
. "We are going to a place." Dai Shiya stood up, her tone firm and calm.
"Where to?" Wei Qing asked.
"Go..." Dai Shiya paused, "Tiger's den."
A man in black stood respectfully in front of Dai Shiya and whispered, "Miss Dai, everything is ready."
"Very good." Dai Shiya's voice was cold and ruthless, "Lead the way."
