Chapter 152: Crisis and Rebuilding Trust

The housekeeper's flustered tone was like a sharp thorn, suddenly piercing the solemn air.

"Outside... there are many reporters outside, they said... they said our Dai family..." He stammered, not daring to say any more, fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Dai Shiya's heart sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of her feet.

She walked quickly to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains.

The dazzling flash instantly enveloped her. Downstairs was dark, and countless long guns and short guns were aimed at the door of the Dai family. Noisy shouting came like a tide.

"Dai Shiya, what is your response to the accusation that the family business is suspected of unfair competition?"

"Ms. Dai, how do you explain the unknown whereabouts of the family funds?"

"Dai Shiya, you..."

Sharp questions came one after another, like sharp knives, cutting Dai Shiya's nerves.

She took a deep breath and tried to maintain a calm expression, but her clenched fists exposed the waves in her heart.

Family members rushed over after hearing the news, and seeing this scene, the trust that had just been established was once again cracked.

Suspicious eyes pierced Dai Shiya like needles, and the suppressed silence spread in the air, making her feel more suffocated than the reporters' questions.

"Shiya, this... what is going on?" The second uncle's voice trembled, with a hint of disbelief and panic.

"Yes, Shiya, how could these reporters..." The eldest aunt's tone was full of worry, but also mixed with a hint of doubt.

Dai Shiya looked at them, and a bitterness surged in her heart.

She knew that these rumors must have been spread by hidden forces, with the purpose of disintegrating the unity within the family and leaving her isolated and helpless.

But she couldn't panic, let alone be chaotic.

She forced herself to calm down, slowly scanning everyone, her eyes firm and calm.

"Everyone," she said calmly, but with unquestionable strength, "I know that everyone has a lot of questions in their hearts now, and I understand everyone's concerns. But please believe me, I will definitely find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

However, what responded to her was a heavier silence and more suspicious eyes.

Dai Shiya's heart sank to the bottom. She gently closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, a resolute light flashed in her eyes.

She turned around and walked towards the study, leaving everyone with a tall and straight back.

"Butler," her voice echoed in the empty hall, "prepare the meeting room, and hold a family meeting in ten minutes."

Dai Shiya walked into the study, her fingertips brushed across the cold desktop, as if touching a silent battle.

She did not rush to open the computer and check the chaotic accusations, but closed her eyes, shutting out the noisy voices and suspicious eyes.

She needed to be calm, like a Dinghai magic needle in the storm, to lead the Dai family out of this crisis.

Ten minutes later, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Dai Shiya walked in with steady steps.

Looking around, the family members had different expressions, with both worry and scrutiny in their eyes. The complex emotions intertwined together, like an invisible net, tightly binding her.

She walked to the main seat, straightened her back, and looked like a torch.

"Everyone," her voice was cold and firm, like a sharp blade breaking the ice in winter, "I know that everyone who came here today has many doubts in their hearts. I understand that after all, there are rumors from the outside world, but I want to tell you that rumors stop with the wise."

She did not rush to defend herself, but calmly took out a few documents and pushed them in front of everyone.

"These are Dai's financial statements for the past three months. You can take a closer look. The flow of every fund is clear, and there is absolutely no unknown destination."

The rustling sound of flipping through the documents sounded in the conference room. Everyone looked at it attentively, their brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Dai Shiya observed their expressions calmly, calculating in her heart.

She knew that evidence alone was not enough. She also needed to find the flaws in the rumors in order to truly win their trust.

She turned on the projector, and a complex chart appeared on the screen.

"This chart is the analysis report of the most recent competitive project. As you can see, we did adopt some strategies, but they are all within the scope permitted by law, and there is no improper behavior." She pointed to a place on the chart with a sharp tone, "And the source of this report is highly consistent with the internal information of our competitors. Isn't this a very strange thing?"

"You mean..." Second Uncle was the first to react.

"Yes," Dai Shiya nodded, "I think someone is deliberately creating public opinion, trying to confuse the public, undermine the reputation of our Dai family, and benefit from it!"

The originally questioning eyes began to waver, and the whispers of doubt gradually sounded.

They re-examined Dai Shiya's behavior. She was not impatient, her logic was clear, and she didn't seem to be as bad as the rumors said.

A warm current of trust began to flow slowly in the conference room, dispelling the previous haze.

"So, what should we do?" The eldest aunt's voice was no longer so sharp, but with a hint of worry and expectation.

Dai Shiya's mouth corners slightly raised, her eyes flashed with wisdom, and the oppressive atmosphere around her seemed to have loosened a little.

"I will find the mastermind and make the truth known to the world. But before that, we need to unite as one to face the next challenge." As

soon as she finished speaking, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Wei Qing walked in with a trace of anxiety on her face.

"Shiya, it's bad, outside..." She hesitated, with a certain uneasy light flashing in her eyes, making the hope that had just risen in the conference room hang in the air again.

Wei Qing's face was pale, and her tone was hurried: "Shiya, they... they started to do it!" The air in the conference room solidified instantly, and everyone's face was full of shock and fear.

Dai Shiya stood up suddenly, a rage burning in her chest, as if to swallow her whole.

"How dare they!" She gritted her teeth and said word by word, every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, full of anger and power.

Almost at the same time, bursts of violent explosions came from a distance, deafening, and the ground trembled slightly.

Outside the huge French windows, thick smoke billowed and flames shot up into the sky. The once prosperous commercial street was now like hell on earth.

The family members looked out the window in horror, their faces pale, and some even couldn't help but scream.

Several important industries under the Dai Group are suffering unprecedented attacks.

"Damn it!" Dai Shiya cursed, she rushed to the window, looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance, her heart full of anger and regret.

Those industries were built up by her and her father with years of hard work, but now they were reduced to ashes in an instant.

She felt a piercing pain, as if someone had cut her heart hard.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails deeply embedded in the flesh, but she didn't feel a trace of pain.

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

"Shiya, what should we do now?" The second uncle's voice trembled, full of fear and helplessness.

Other family members also looked at Dai Shiya,

who looked around at everyone with a firm and calm look.

"Don't panic," she said calmly, but with unquestionable strength, "Our Dai family has not reached the end of its rope yet!"

She turned around and held Wei Qing's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength from her friend.

"Qingqing, thank you for always being with me," she said with gratitude, "I know that we can definitely get through this crisis together!" Wei Qing held Dai Shiya's hand back and gave her a firm look, silently conveying support and encouragement.

The blazing fire reflected on Dai Shiya's face, making her originally fair skin red, and also illuminating the resolute light flashing in her eyes.

She looked out the window, her eyes deep and firm, as if she had seen the dawn of victory.

"Notify all security personnel to go to the scene immediately and be sure to protect the scene. At the same time, contact the police and request support." She said decisively, and every word was full of power.

"Shiya, we want to go too!" A young family member stood up with a firm tone.

"We can't just watch the family's business being destroyed. We have to stand by and fight with the family!"

"Yes, we want to go too!" Other family members also responded, their faces full of indignation and determination to die.

Dai Shiya looked at them, her heart full of emotion and strength.

"Okay! Let's go together!" Her voice was sonorous and powerful, full of fighting spirit and confidence.

She knew that as long as they were united, no difficulties could defeat them!

Just as Dai Shiya was about to lead everyone to set off, Wei Qing suddenly grabbed her hand and whispered in her ear: "Shiya, wait, I think I thought of something..."

Wei Qing grabbed Dai Shiya and whispered in her ear: "Shiya, have you ever thought that this might be a trap?" Dai Shiya was startled, and then she understood what Wei Qing meant.

If they all came out, the defense of the old house would be empty. If the other party made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, the consequences would be disastrous.

"You're right," Dai Shiya's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "We can't fall for their trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain." She quickly adjusted the deployment, arranged some security personnel to go to support, and strengthened the defense of the old house.

Facts have proved that Wei Qing's judgment is correct.

Shortly after Dai Shiya made the arrangements, a well-trained team quietly approached the old house.

They acted quickly and were well-equipped, and they were obviously prepared.

However, what they didn't expect was that Dai Shiya had already laid a net.

Fierce exchanges of fire unfolded under the cover of night, with gunshots and explosions one after another, and the flames reflected half of the sky red.

Dai Shiya calmly commanded and deployed troops like an experienced commander.

Under her command, the security personnel fought bravely and successfully repelled the invading enemy.

At the same time, the team that went to support also sent good news.

It turned out that the so-called "attack" was just a carefully planned play, the purpose of which was to distract Dai Shiya's attention and make it easier for them to attack the old house. However

, their conspiracy was discovered by Dai Shiya and Wei Qing, and they ultimately failed.

Seeing that the family business was safe and sound, the family members all breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at Dai Shiya with eyes full of admiration and gratitude, and the previous doubts and suspicions had long since disappeared.

"Shiya, you are so amazing!" The second uncle excitedly shook Dai Shiya's hand, "Thanks to you, we escaped this disaster."

"Yes, Shiya, you are really the lucky star of our Dai family!" The eldest aunt also praised sincerely.

Dai Shiya looked at them, her heart full of a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that she had finally won their trust and their respect.

In the family meeting room, the atmosphere was jubilant.

The joy of surviving the disaster, the gratitude to Dai Shiya, and the confidence in the future, intertwined, made the whole family full of vitality.

However, at this moment, Wei Qing's cell phone suddenly rang.

She answered the call, and her face turned pale instantly.

"Shiya..." She hung up the phone, her voice trembling, "They... They still have a backup plan..."
