The wealthy daughter breaks through the situation with wisdom

Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Alliance is Stronger



The private library was quiet and solemn, and the air was filled with the unique scent of ancient books. Dai Shiya walked between the rows of bookshelves with familiarity, and finally stopped in front of a carved wooden door. She knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response, she pushed the door open and walked in, followed by Wei Qing.

 

In the room, an old man in a Tang suit was writing at his desk. Hearing the noise, he raised his head and smiled kindly. "Shi Ya is here, this is..."

"Wei Qing, my friend and partner." Dai Shiya introduced with unquestionable firmness in her tone.

The old man nodded slightly, his eyes lingered on Wei Qing for a moment, and then motioned for them to sit down. "Shiya, you said before that you wanted to discuss cooperation, what is it about?"

Dai Shiya handed over the document in her hand. "This is an in-depth cooperation agreement I drafted. It involves the future development direction of the family business. I hope you can consider it carefully."

The old man took the document and read it carefully. Wei Qing sat beside him and observed his expression. The old man's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. It was obvious that the content of this agreement was unusual.

 

After a long while, the old man put down the document, thought for a moment and said, "This agreement is quite bold, but there are also certain risks. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I know this road is full of difficulties, but I am ready." Dai Shiya said firmly, with strong confidence in her eyes, "I firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

The old man looked at her deeply and said slowly: "Okay, I promise you. I believe in your ability and your vision."

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy. They knew that this was just the first step, and there was still a long way to go, but they had already taken a crucial step.

 

However, they didn't know that a conspiracy against them was quietly brewing.

 

When Dai Hong learned that Dai Shiya was negotiating cooperation with the family elders, his face turned gloomy and terrible. He suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "This Dai Shiya is getting more and more presumptuous! Who does she think she is? She dared to win over the family elders privately!"

"Master, what should we do now?" the butler asked in a low voice.

Dai Hong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he sneered: "Since she wants to play, then I will play with her! You go spread the word and say..."

His voice was lowered a bit. After hearing it, the butler's face changed slightly, but he still responded respectfully: "Yes, sir, I will do it right away."

 

That night, all kinds of rumors about Dai Shiya began to spread within the family. Some said she was scheming and pretended to be harmless on the surface, but in fact she was secretly forming cliques and trying to seize the family power; others said she colluded with forces outside the family and intended to embezzle family assets... These rumors became more and more outrageous, and Dai Shiya's name gradually changed in the mouths of family members.

 

At this time, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing, who were immersed in the joy of the alliance, knew nothing about it...

 

Rumors spread rapidly within the family like a virus. The neutral faction that had been on the sidelines about Dai Shiya began to doubt her after hearing these rumors. At family gatherings, the originally cordial and friendly greetings turned into distant and polite greetings, and some people even looked at her with a bit of scrutiny and vigilance.

 

Dai Shiya was keenly aware of this change, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy. She knew that someone must be spreading rumors behind her back, trying to destroy her alliance with the family elders. But who exactly wanted to target her?

"It seems someone is getting impatient." Wei Qing put down the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "These rumors spread so quickly, there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames."

Dai Shiya frowned, and Dai Hong's gloomy face appeared in her mind. "I suspect it was Dai Hong."

"He does have the motive, and he also has the ability." Wei Qing nodded in agreement, "However, we don't have evidence right now, so we can't act rashly."

"I know." Dai Shiya took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. "We must find the source of the rumor as soon as possible, otherwise things will only get worse."

"I suggest starting with the people who spread the rumors," Wei Qing analyzed, "They may know who ordered them to do so."

Dai Shiya nodded in agreement. The two of them split up and began to investigate the source of the rumor. Dai Shiya secretly observed the words and deeds of family members, trying to find the source of the rumor; Wei Qing used her personal connections to collect various information.

 

After several days of investigation, Dai Shiya discovered that there was a family member named Liu Guanjia who seemed to be inextricably linked to the spread of rumors. This Liu Guanjia was Dai Hong's confidant and was deeply trusted by Dai Hong.

"It seems that we are not far from the truth." Dai Shiya told Wei Qing about her discovery, with a hint of excitement in her eyes, "I will try to get some information from Butler Liu tonight."

 

As night fell, the Dai family villa was brightly lit. Dai Shiya, dressed in a black dress, moved elegantly among the crowd. She approached housekeeper Liu calmly with a perfect smile on her face.

"Butler Liu, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

When Butler Liu saw Dai Shiya, a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "Hello, Miss. I'm fine."

Dai Shiya asked casually, "I've heard some rumors about me recently. I wonder if Butler Liu has heard of them?"

Butler Liu's face changed slightly, and he stammered, "This... I don't know what the young lady is talking about..."

Dai Shiya smiled slightly and said meaningfully, "There are some things that Butler Liu may know better than me."

She approached Butler Liu and whispered, "I know that you have always served the Dai family loyally. I believe you will not betray the family..."

Butler Liu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Dai Shiya's words hit his heart like a heavy hammer. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself, but found that he couldn't. He knew that everything he did could not be hidden from Dai Shiya's eyes.

"Butler Liu, I hope you can understand that I am not trying to embarrass you." Dai Shiya's voice was still gentle, but with an unquestionable majesty, "I just want to find out the truth."

Butler Liu took a deep breath, finally made up his mind, and whispered: "Miss, there are some things I can't say... But I can tell you that the person who spread the rumors is..."

Before Butler Liu finished speaking, a servant came running over and interrupted their conversation. "Miss, the master wants you to go to the study."

Dai Shiya's heart trembled, knowing that Dai Hong had noticed her actions. She nodded to Butler Liu calmly, turned around and followed the servant to leave.

 

In the study, Dai Hong sat at the desk, holding a document in his hand, his brows furrowed. Seeing Dai Shiya coming in, he put down the document and said sternly: "I heard that you have been investigating rumors recently?"

Dai Shiya met Dai Hong's gaze without fear and admitted frankly: "Yes, uncle. I just want to find out who is behind these rumors and wants to destroy the unity of the family."

"Humph, family unity?" Dai Hong sneered, "Do you really care about family unity? I think you have ulterior motives!"

Dai Shiya sneered in her heart. Dai Hong was indeed the thief crying "Catch the thief". She said calmly, "Uncle, I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Dai Hong slammed the table and glared at Dai Shiya. "You want to win over the family elders and fight against me, right?"

Dai Shiya knew that it would be of no benefit to her to have a falling out with Dai Hong. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said calmly, "Uncle, you misunderstood. I just want to do my part for the family."

"Uncle, you misunderstood. I just want to do my part for the family." Dai Shiya knew that it was not appropriate to conflict with Dai Hong at this time. She suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and tried to make her voice sound calm.

Dai Hong obviously didn't believe Dai Shiya's explanation, but he didn't pursue it further. He waved his hand, indicating that Dai Shiya could leave.

 

After leaving the study, Dai Shiya immediately contacted Wei Qing and told her what had just happened.

"It seems that Dai Hong has begun to doubt us." Wei Qing said solemnly, "We must speed up our actions, otherwise there will be more trouble."

"I understand." Dai Shiya nodded in agreement. "I have already asked Lawyer Wei to come to my house tomorrow to discuss the details of the alliance agreement."

"Okay, I will arrange some personnel to ensure Lawyer Wei's safety," Wei Qing said.

 

The next morning, Dai Shiya arranged for the driver to pick up Lawyer Wei. However, just as the driver was about to arrive at Lawyer Wei's residence, the car suddenly broke down. The driver checked and found that someone had deliberately damaged the brake system.

"Damn it!" Dai Shiya slammed the table hard after hearing the news. She knew that Dai Hong was behind it again.

"It seems that Dai Hong is determined to stop us from meeting." Wei Qing said in a cold tone, "But does he think that this can stump us? It's simply wishful thinking!"

Dai Shiya took a deep breath, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes. "Don't worry, I have a solution..."

Dai Shiya calmly instructed the driver, "Don't act rashly. Pretend to call the maintenance staff and secretly observe if there are any suspicious people around." The driver took the order and did so immediately.

Dai Shiya immediately called Wei Qing and said calmly, "It seems that we underestimated Dai Hong's determination. He is determined to stop us this time. Do you have any other reliable people who can avoid his eyes and ears?"

"Don't worry, I've made preparations." Wei Qing smiled confidently, "I'll arrange a backup plan right away to ensure Lawyer Wei's safe arrival."

In less than half an hour, an inconspicuous black car stopped not far from the broken-down vehicle. Lawyer Wei got out of the car and walked straight towards Dai Shiya.

Dai Shiya and Lawyer Wei smiled at each other, and everything was self-explanatory. They had already anticipated that Dai Hong would not give up easily, so they had developed several plans in advance to deal with various emergencies.

"Let's go, let's talk somewhere else." Dai Shiya got into the black car first, followed closely by Lawyer Wei and the driver.

 

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing chose a private teahouse on the outskirts of the city. The environment here is quiet and private, which is an excellent place for them to have a secret conversation.

"Ms. Dai, this is the alliance agreement I drafted based on your requirements. You can take a look at it first." Lawyer Wei handed a document to Dai Shiya.

Dai Shiya took the document and read it carefully. The content of the agreement was detailed, covering all aspects of the cooperation between the two parties, as well as the corresponding rights and obligations, and fully protecting the interests of both parties.

"Lawyer Wei, you have considered everything very carefully. I am very satisfied with this agreement." After reading the agreement, Dai Shiya signed her name without hesitation.

Wei Qing also picked up a pen, signed the agreement, and stamped it with her own private seal.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Dai Shiya raised her teacup and clinked glasses with Wei Qing.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Wei Qing smiled back, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

 

The signing of the alliance agreement marks the official joining of Dai Shiya and Wei Qing to fight against Dai Hong. However, Dai Shiya knows that this is just the beginning, and a war without gunpowder has just begun. Dai Hong will not give up easily, and he will definitely find ways to fight back.

"Shi Ya, I have received news that Dai Hong has been secretly investigating your financial situation recently." Wei Qing put down the teacup and said in a serious tone.

Dai Shiya's expression was startled, and she understood that Dai Hong seemed to want to take action against her financially.

"I know. I'll be careful." Dai Shiya's tone was calm, but her heart was in turmoil. She vaguely felt that a bigger storm was coming towards her...

The next morning, Dai Shiya's assistant rushed into her office in a panic, "Boss Dai, something bad has happened at the company!"
