The wealthy daughter breaks through the situation with wisdom

The entrance to the basement was dimly lit. The man who came in was standing with his back to the light. He was tall and straight, and had an aura of authority that oppressed everyone present. The fake smile on Dai Ming's face froze instantly, and he called out in panic, "Second Uncle..."

The second uncle's sharp eyes first swept over Dai Ming, then fell on Dai Shiya who was clamped, and finally stopped at the delicate key in Dai Ming's hand. Everything seemed self-evident. He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Dai Ming hesitantly explained: "I... I just want to have a good talk with Shi Ya. There may be some misunderstandings between us about the will..."

"Misunderstanding?" Second Uncle snorted coldly, "We need to mobilize security. Is this what you call 'a good talk'?"

Dai Ming was speechless and dared not to argue anymore. His second uncle had always been low-key and rarely interfered in family affairs, but he had a very high prestige in the family, and even Dai Ming's father had to be courteous to him.

"Let her go!" The second uncle gave the order, and the two security guards quickly let go of Dai Shiya as if they had been pardoned. Dai Shiya rubbed her arm that was pinched and looked at her second uncle gratefully: "Thank you, second uncle."

The second uncle nodded slightly, indicating that Dai Shiya didn't need to say anything more. He turned to Dai Ming and said, "Your father is in poor health, so I will be in charge of the family affairs for the time being. I will handle the will myself, so you don't have to interfere."

Although Dai Ming felt unwilling, he also understood that his second uncle was warning him, so he did not dare to do it again. He nodded reluctantly and left the basement in disgrace with his men.

"Second Uncle..." Dai Shiya hesitated to speak. She wanted to tell her second uncle about her doubts about the will, but was worried that it would make her seem too deliberate.

The second uncle seemed to see through her thoughts and said gently, "Just say whatever you want to say."

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Uncle, I suspect..." She paused and took out the copy from her bag, "There may be something wrong with this will..."

The second uncle took the copy and flipped through it carefully, frowning slightly. In the dim basement, the atmosphere became particularly solemn. After a long time, the second uncle put down the copy and looked at Dai Shiya deeply, "Why do you think so?"

Dai Shiya calmed down and recounted how she discovered the difference in handwriting, how she suspected Sun's custody, and how she was coerced by Dai Ming. Wei Qing also supplemented her, telling them the clues and speculations they had found.

After listening to the second uncle, he didn't speak for a long time. Only the dim light in the basement flowed quietly. After a while, he sighed, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. "Shiya, you did a good job," he said with relief in his tone, "your grandfather did have a trick up his sleeve. It seems that he had long anticipated that someone would try to steal his will."

Dai Shiya's heart moved, and she asked anxiously: "Second Uncle, what do you mean..."

Second Uncle nodded, but did not answer her question directly. Instead, he said, "Shiya, this matter is of great importance. You and your friends must be careful. I will support you secretly, but you must also understand that Dai Ming and the others will not give up. You must also be more careful."

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing looked at each other and saw hope and determination in each other's eyes. With the support of their second uncle, they had a backbone and were more determined to find out the truth.

At the same time, in a black car not far from the basement, Sun Baoguan was anxiously reporting to Dai Ming everything that happened in the basement.

"What? Second Uncle actually intervened?!" Dai Ming's face turned pale and he punched the seat. "Damn it! Doesn't he always stay out of these things?"

Sun Baoguan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly: "Second uncle has always loved the eldest lady, I am afraid this matter will be difficult to handle..."

Dai Ming's eyes flashed with viciousness, "Humph, even if Second Uncle supports us, so what? As long as we act fast enough, they won't have time to react!" He turned his head sharply and looked at Sun Baoguan, "You said before, how long will it take to complete the forged will?"

Sun Baoguan was frightened by his fierce eyes and stammered, "It will take a few more days for me to find the right one..."

"How many days?!" Dai Ming interrupted him abruptly, "I can't wait that long! Things have changed now, we have to hurry up! You have to work overtime for me. Tomorrow, at the latest, I want to get the new 'will'!"

Sun Baoguan didn't dare to disobey and had to agree to it.

After Dai Shiya and Wei Qing came out of the basement, they immediately returned to Wei Qing's residence and began to re-sort out the relevant information about the will code.

"It seems that our previous direction was correct. Your grandfather did leave a hint." Wei Qing pointed to one of the family genealogies and said, "Look, it's recorded here that your grandfather once received an ancestral token when he was young..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Dai Shiya's mind, "Token... Could it be..." She stood up suddenly and said in a hurried tone, "I know where to find clues!" After that, she grabbed her coat and rushed out.

Wei Qing quickly followed her, "Wait for me, where are you going?"

Dai Shiya shouted without turning her head: "Go to my grandfather's study! There must be something there that we haven't discovered yet!"

Under the dim light, Dai Shiya and Wei Qing sat side by side at a table covered with yellowed documents, which were records of the Dai family tree, legends and history. They had been working for several hours, trying to find a clue related to the will code from these vast texts.

"Wait, look at this!" Dai Shiya pointed to a passage in the family tree, her tone revealing irrepressible excitement. "It records a legend that our Dai family ancestor once got a magical jade pendant that could bless the family's prosperity, but it later disappeared. The legend also mentioned that the jade pendant is engraved with the family's secret motto, which can only be interpreted by the family's true descendants."

Wei Qing took a closer look. This legend was hidden in the corner of the family tree. The words used were obscure. If you didn't look for it deliberately, it would be easily overlooked. "Could it be that the hint your grandfather left behind refers to this jade pendant?"

"It's very likely!" Dai Shiya's eyes sparkled with hope, "If we can find this jade pendant, maybe we can decipher the code of the will!"

The two immediately split up, Wei Qing used her connections to inquire about the whereabouts of the jade pendant, while Dai Shiya carefully read through all the notes and documents left by her grandfather, hoping to find more clues related to the jade pendant.

A few days later, Wei Qing returned to her residence with a serious look on her face. Before Dai Shiya could ask, she said anxiously, "I heard that Dai Feng is also looking for the jade pendant, and he seems to have got some clues and is running around trying to find the whereabouts of the jade pendant."

"Dai Feng?" Dai Shiya's heart sank. Dai Feng was Dai Ming's cousin and had always been in cahoots with Dai Ming. If he was also involved in this matter, things would become even more complicated.

"What else did he find out?" Dai Shiya forced herself to calm down and asked.

"I don't know the details," Wei Qing shook her head. "I only know that Dai Feng went to the south recently and seemed to have found some important clues about the jade pendant there. He is now preparing to go there again."

Dai Shiya was thinking quickly in her mind. Dai Feng's actions undoubtedly confirmed their previous guess that grandpa had indeed hidden the key information to decipher the code of the will on the jade pendant.

"It seems we have to find the jade pendant before Dai Feng!" A trace of determination flashed in Dai Shiya's eyes, "Otherwise..." She didn't say anything else, but Wei Qing understood what she meant. If Dai Feng found the jade pendant first, then all their previous efforts would be in vain, and Dai Ming would not let them go.

At this moment, Wei Qing's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her expression suddenly became more solemn. "It's Dai Ming's people calling..." She whispered, "They seem to have discovered what we are investigating and asked us to be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. The two looked at each other, and both had an ominous premonition in their hearts... Dai Shiya grabbed Wei Qing's hand and signaled her not to answer the phone. "Since they have begun to suspect us, answering the phone now will only alert them." She lowered her voice and said in a terrifyingly calm tone, "We must leave here immediately."

Wei Qing nodded and quickly began to pack up the documents on the table. The two of them moved quickly and in sync, and soon finished packing everything. Dai Shiya took a last look at the apartment where she had lived for many years, and a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but more of determination.

They quietly slipped out of the back door of the apartment, avoiding the people who were watching them. Dai Shiya knew that Dai Ming would not let them go easily, and they had to race against time to find the key to unlock the will before Dai Feng found the jade pendant.

"Where are we going now?" Wei Qing asked while looking around vigilantly.

"Let's go to the old house in the southern suburbs!" Dai Shiya made a prompt decision. "I remember my grandfather once said that some of the Dai family's ancestors' things were kept there. Maybe we can find more clues about the jade pendant."

The two hailed a taxi and headed straight to the old house in the southern suburbs. Along the way, Dai Shiya kept thinking about every word and every detail her grandfather had said, trying to find a trace of information related to the jade pendant.

At the same time, Dai Ming was in his study, listening to his subordinates' reports with a sinister smile on his face. "They are indeed investigating the jade pendant. It seems that my guess is correct."

"Mr. Dai, do you want to..." The subordinate made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"No rush," Dai Ming waved his hand. "They are still useful now. Once they find the jade pendant, it won't be too late for us to take it away."

He walked to the window, looking at the bustling city night scene outside, his eyes flashing with greed. "Grandpa, do you think I can't find it if you hide it? Once I find the jade pendant and decipher the code of the will, the entire Dai family will be mine!"

The old house in the southern suburbs had fallen into disrepair and no one had lived there for a long time. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing pushed open the rusty door with great effort, and a smell of decay hit them in the face.

"Be careful," Dai Shiya warned in a low voice, "No one has been here for a long time, and no one knows what dangers may arise."

The two walked into the old house carefully, and searched around with the weak light of the mobile phone. The old house was full of dust and cobwebs, and the furniture was dilapidated, as if telling the ruthless passage of time.

Suddenly, Dai Shiya found a locked wooden box in the corner. She was moved, could it be...?

Just as she was about to go forward to check, there was a roar of a car engine outside the door. Then, several men in black got out of the car and walked straight towards the old house. The leader was Dai Feng!

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing's faces changed. They knew that a fierce battle was inevitable...

"It seems that we are still a step late." Dai Feng looked at Dai Shiya in front of him with a sneer on his face, "But it doesn't matter. What you find will eventually be mine..."
