Chapter 136: Family Rebels Emerge

Dai Shiya's eyes were as sharp as those of an eagle, fixed tightly on the black figure on the rooftop in the distance.

The night was dark, and the man seemed to blend into the darkness. Only the occasional glimmer of light could outline his vague outline.

A chill rose from the soles of Dai Shiya's feet and rushed straight to the top of her head.

The air around her seemed to solidify, and it was suffocating.

The noise in the hall became buzzing in her ears, like the low roar before the storm.

She knew that the family crisis was more serious than she had imagined.

Taking a deep breath, Dai Shiya turned around and swept her eyes across the faces in the hall that were either shocked, angry, or confused.

She walked to the podium, picked up the microphone, and her crisp voice echoed in the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have something to announce today. There is a traitor in our Dai family!"

As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly exploded like a pot, and all kinds of sounds intertwined and buzzed.

"Traitor? How is that possible!"

"Shiya, you are young, don't talk nonsense!"

"Now is a critical moment for the family, don't lose your composure!"

Opposing voices surged like a tide, almost drowning Dai Shiya.

The eldest uncle slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Shiya, you are making a fuss! The unity within the family is the most important thing, don't listen to rumors!"

Dai Shiya stood on the podium, her figure was thin, but she was like a strong pine tree standing in the wind, fearless.

The lights in the hall shone on her face, reflecting her resolute look.

She looked around, taking in everyone's expression.

The oppressive space was like a huge rock pressing on her chest, making her feel difficult to breathe.

Anger, grievance, unwillingness...

all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, but she suppressed all the emotions and said calmly and firmly: "I am not talking nonsense, I saw it with my own eyes, someone is secretly monitoring our Dai family."

"Absurd!" The second uncle sneered, "What evidence do you have for what you said you saw with your own eyes? Don't forget, you are the one who controls the Dai family now, and every decision you make is related to the future of the Dai family!"

Questioning, ridicule, opposition...

all kinds of voices stabbed at Dai Shiya like sharp knives, making her feel extremely isolated and helpless.

But she did not retreat, nor did she explain, she just stood there quietly, looking at everyone with a firm gaze.

"I need time." Dai Shiya's voice was very light, but with unquestionable firmness, "Give me time, I will find evidence." After that, she put down the microphone, turned around and left, leaving behind a commotion.

"You..." The eldest uncle was about to call her, but was stopped by Dai Ming.

"Brother, let her go," Dai Ming raised a meaningful smile, "Some things are better for her to discover on her own..."

Dai Shiya ignored the wave of doubts behind her and left the noisy hall with firm steps.

Her high heels stepped on the marble floor, making a crisp sound that echoed in the empty corridor, just like her firm heart at the moment.

The noise in the hall gradually faded away, replaced by the tranquility of the night, and only a few car horns from afar broke the silence.

The family members looked at each other, not understanding what Dai Shiya was up to.

The eldest uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, sat heavily on the chair, and said angrily: "This girl is getting more and more presumptuous!" The second uncle had a gloomy face, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes flickered, and seemed to be thinking about something.

The hall was filled with an atmosphere of doubt and uneasiness, like the calm before the storm, so depressing that it made people breathless.

Dai Shiya came to her study, locked the door, and isolated herself from the outside world.

The room was dimly lit, with only a desk lamp on the desk emitting a soft light, illuminating the piles of account books on the desk.

She took a deep breath, rubbed her sore eyes, and began to flip through the dense numbers.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of paper flipping and Dai Shiya's occasional sighs were heard.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the smell of ink and paper filled the air, making people feel a little drowsy.

Suddenly, Dai Shiya's eyes stopped on a line of numbers in the account book.

She took a deep breath and felt her heart beat faster.

The flow of this money looked very suspicious.

She immediately called up the relevant accounts, checked them carefully, and pondered them over and over again.

As the investigation deepened, more and more doubts surfaced, and a bold guess gradually took shape in her mind.

She felt a burst of excitement, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw in the dark.

The depressing atmosphere in the study seemed to dissipate, and a faint joy spread in her heart.

She picked up a pen and wrote quickly on the paper. Her thoughts flowed like spring water, connecting the clues one by one.

The night outside the window was still dark, but there seemed to be a ray of light in the study, illuminating Dai Shiya's determined face.

"Found it..." Dai Shiya muttered to herself, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

She stood up and walked to the window, pushed it open, and took a deep breath of the fresh night air.

In the distant sky, a hint of fish belly white appeared faintly, foreshadowing the arrival of dawn.

Just then, the door of the study was gently knocked.

"Shiya, it's me." Wei Qing's voice came from outside the door.

Dai Shiya opened the door, and Wei Qing walked in with a trace of worry on her face.

"It's said outside that you are mentally unstable because of too much pressure..." Wei Qing hesitated, looking at Dai Shiya's pale face, she felt distressed.

Dai Shiya smiled bitterly and rubbed her temples tiredly.

"I know they want me to lose the support of the people so that they can control the Dai family more easily." She walked to the desk, picked up the document that recorded the doubts, and gently ran her fingertips across the paper. "But the more they do this, the more it proves that I have found the right direction."

The room became quiet, with only the rustling of leaves outside the window and the faint noise coming from afar.

Dai Shiya could feel the tense atmosphere around her, like an invisible net that tightly wrapped her.

The family members whispered, and their eyes were full of suspicion and speculation, making her feel suffocated.

Wei Qing gently held Dai Shiya's hand to give her strength.

"Don't worry." She felt the coldness of Dai Shiya's palm and tightened it distressedly.

"No matter what happens, I will be with you." A warm current spread from Dai Shiya's palm to her whole body, dispelling the chill in her heart.

She looked at Wei Qing gratefully.

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, from far to near, and finally stopped at the door of the study.

A sharp voice rang out: "Dai Shiya, come out! What else do you have to explain!" It was the voice of the second uncle, full of anger and questioning.

Then, a noisy sound of footsteps and shouting came, the door of the study was pushed open, and a group of people rushed in, surrounding Dai Shiya and Wei Qing aggressively.

Dai Shiya looked at the angry faces in front of her, without any fear in her eyes, but instead showed a sneer.

"Explain? Why should I explain? I don't need to explain to anyone when I do things." She turned her head and looked at Wei Qing, "Qing, let's go."

They walked side by side through the crowd and walked towards the door.

Behind them came the roar of the second uncle: "Dai Shiya, stop! Where do you think you can escape to!"

Dai Shiya stopped, turned slowly, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Escape? I never thought about escaping. I just don't want to waste time with a bunch of jumping clowns." Her eyes swept through the crowd and finally stopped on the face of the second uncle.

"The game has just begun."

Before the words fell, there was a commotion at the other end of the corridor, accompanied by several exclamations.

A figure staggered over, pale and sweating.

"Oh no! Something happened!"

The man stumbled to Dai Shiya and shouted breathlessly: "The warehouse... the warehouse is on fire!"

Dai Shiya's heart trembled, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

The warehouse stored the most important goods of the Dai family. If it really caught fire, the consequences would be disastrous.

She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ran in the direction of the warehouse, followed by Wei Qing.

The raging fire reflected the red of the night sky, and the thick smoke made people breathless.

At the door of the warehouse, several men in black were fighting fiercely with the bodyguards of the Dai family, with swords flashing and shouts shaking the sky.

Dai Shiya recognized at a glance that these men in black were the ones who had been monitoring her on the roof before.

"It seems that they want to destroy all the evidence." Dai Shiya

was agile and deadly, moving between the men in black like a cheetah.

A man in black swung a knife at her head, but she dodged the attack and hit the man in black on the chest with a backhand palm.

The man in black groaned, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The family members around were stunned. They didn't expect that Dai Shiya, who had always been weak, would have such skills.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle also showed surprised expressions on their faces. They originally thought that Dai Shiya was just bluffing, but they didn't expect that she was really capable.

Dai Shiya ignored the gazes of the crowd. She focused on the battle in front of her. Every move was clean and neat, without any drag.

She was like an elegant cheetah, moving through the fire and smoke, and every move was deadly and murderous.

Soon, the man in black was knocked to the ground, and only the last person was left to resist.

Dai Shiya approached him step by step, her eyes as cold as a knife.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

The man in black gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Dai Shiya sneered, a cold light flashed in her hand, and the dagger was against the throat of the man in black.

"Don't tell me? Then go to hell."

The man in black was pale, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and finally spoke: "It's... it's Er..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow broke through the air and hit the man in black in the chest.

The man in black widened his eyes, blood gushed out of his mouth, and fell to the ground, dying.

Dai Shiya turned back suddenly, only to see a black shadow flashing in the distance and disappearing into the night.

She clenched her fists, with raging anger burning in her eyes. The clue was broken.

Based on the words of the man in black before he died, Dai Shiya speculated that the mastermind behind the scenes was likely to be the second uncle.

She decided to investigate in depth and find conclusive evidence.

Following the clues found before, Dai Shiya found the place where the traitors had a secret meeting-an abandoned factory.

Under the cover of night, the factory looked particularly eerie and terrifying. The air around it seemed to be frozen, making people feel suffocated.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and approached the factory cautiously.

The factory gate was closed and wooden boards were nailed on the windows, so she couldn't see what was going on inside.

She walked around the factory and found that it was full of traps. If she was not careful, the alarm would be triggered.

"It seems that they have been prepared." Dai Shiya whispered .

She squatted down, carefully observed the layout of the traps, and thought about how to deal with it.

At this moment, she heard a slight sound of footsteps behind her...

"Who?" Dai Shiya turned back suddenly, and the dagger in her hand flashed coldly.
