The wealthy daughter breaks through the situation with wisdom

Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Dangers Arise in the Fight for the Token



The old house in the southern suburbs was completely silent, with only the whimpering sound of the wind blowing through the dilapidated window frames, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Dai Shiya and Wei Qing stepped into the old house cautiously, and the smell of decay hit them in the face, mixed with the smell of dust, which was nauseating.

"Shi Ya, are you sure the token will be here?" Wei Qing covered her mouth and nose with her hands and looked around. In the dim light, everything seemed shadowy.

"I'm not sure either," Dai Shiya said in a low but firm voice, "but this is our last hope, isn't it?"

Wei Qing didn't say anything, but just held the flashlight tightly in her hand. With the weak light, the two of them walked step by step into the depths of the old house in the southern suburbs. The layout of the old house was very strange, like a maze. Every step they took seemed to step into an unknown area.

"It seems we are still a step late," a sarcastic voice broke the silence of the old house.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing turned around at the same time, only to see Dai Feng, accompanied by several men in black, striding in with a determined smile on his face.

"Dai Feng, what are you doing here?" Wei Qing stepped forward, stood in front of Dai Shiya, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

Dai Feng sneered, his eyes fell on Dai Shiya, with undisguised contempt, "I thought it was someone else, it turns out to be you, a stray dog. What, you still want to compete with me for the inheritance?"

Dai Shiya ignored his provocation and just spit out two words coldly: "Go away."

The smile on Dai Feng's face froze instantly. He didn't expect Dai Shiya to be so ungrateful. Anger burned in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that now was not the time to fall out.

"Okay, very good." Dai Feng gritted his teeth and said, "I want to see how long you can keep being stubborn!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the men in black behind him immediately dispersed and began to search the old house. Their movements were rough, and they turned over boxes and cabinets without any scruples, smashing the few pieces of furniture and artifacts in the old house to the ground.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing looked at each other, and a bad feeling rose in their hearts. They ignored Dai Feng's provocation, but followed the previous plan and split up to start looking for the keepsake in the old house.

However, as time went on, their uneasiness became stronger and stronger. They found that Dai Feng's people did not seem to be looking for the token, but were deliberately destroying it in an attempt to prevent them from finding the token.

With a loud "bang", an old vase was smashed by the man in black. The fragments flew everywhere, flashing a heart-pounding light in the dim light.

"Stop!" Wei Qing couldn't help but yelled, "What on earth do you want to do?"

The man in black ignored her and continued to destroy things wantonly. Wei Qing was about to rush forward to stop him, but was pulled back by Dai Shiya.

"Calm down, they are well prepared," Dai Shiya lowered her voice and said solemnly, "We can't fight head-on."

Wei Qing asked anxiously: "What should we do? Are we just going to watch them destroy everything?"

Dai Shiya didn't say anything, but just stared at the men in black, thinking of countermeasures quickly in her mind. Suddenly, she seemed to have discovered something, her eyes were stern, and she pulled Wei Qing to hide behind a pillar.

"What's wrong?" Wei Qing asked puzzledly.

Dai Shiya did not answer, but pointed to a corner not far away and whispered: "Look there..."

Wei Qing followed her gaze and saw some sundries piled up in the corner, among which a black wooden box stood out... Wei Qing followed Dai Shiya's gaze and her breathing quickened. The black wooden box was simple in style and had intricate patterns carved on it. It was obviously worth a lot of money and it was very likely the keepsake they were looking for!

"We have to find a way to get it!" Wei Qing lowered her voice, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Dai Shiya nodded, and looked around, looking for an opportunity to approach that corner. However, Dai Feng's men were also aware of that corner, and two men in black stood guard there, one on the left and one on the right, vigilantly observing the movements around them, not giving Dai Shiya and Wei Qing any chance to take advantage.

"It seems that we can only outsmart them." Dai Shiya said in a low voice, with a cunning light in her eyes.

She whispered a few words into Wei Qing's ear. After listening, Wei Qing showed a hint of hesitation on her face, but finally nodded to show her agreement.

According to the plan, Wei Qing deliberately walked to a place not far from the man in black, pretended to accidentally kick a stone, and let out a scream.

"ah!"

The men in black heard the sound and immediately turned around. One of them asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing..." Wei Qing pretended to be panicked, "I just kicked a rock by accident..."

Seeing that she didn't look like anything was wrong, the man in black relaxed his guard, turned his head and continued to stare at the corner.

At this moment, Dai Shiya seized the opportunity, crouched down, and quietly approached the corner. She moved lightly, like a nimble cat, and in the dim light, she almost blended into the darkness.

However, just as she was about to approach the corner, one of the men in black suddenly turned his head as if he had noticed something.

"who?!"

Dai Shiya was shocked and knew that she was exposed, but she did not panic. Instead, she made a quick decision and turned around and ran.

"Catch her!" the man in black shouted, and two men in black immediately chased after Dai Shiya.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qing immediately rushed forward, blocking the way of one of the men in black, and shouted, "What do you want to do? Don't touch her!"

"Get out of here!" The man in black pushed Wei Qing away without mercy.

Wei Qing staggered and fell to the ground, her wrists rubbed by the rough ground and bleeding. But she ignored the pain, got up and rushed forward again, hugging the black-clothed man's legs tightly to prevent him from chasing Dai Shiya.

"Let me go!" The man in black roared and struggled hard, but Wei Qing held him tightly and would not let go no matter how he punched and kicked her.

"Shi Ya, go!" Wei Qing shouted loudly, enduring the pain.

Dai Shiya looked back, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she knew that now was not the time to hesitate. She must get the token as soon as possible to save Wei Qing!

She gritted her teeth, ignored the pursuit behind her, quickened her pace, rushed to the corner, and grabbed the black wooden box...

"Stop! That's mine!" Dai Feng suddenly appeared and pounced on Dai Shiya with a ferocious face.

Before Dai Shiya could catch her breath, Dai Feng was already approaching her, his fierce eyes seemed to want to eat her alive. She instinctively hugged the wooden box tightly, but her other hand touched a sharp stone.

"Dai Shiya, you stole something and you dare to fight back? I think you are tired of living!" Dai Feng roared and stretched out his hand to snatch the wooden box.

"I didn't steal it! This is what I deserve!" Dai Shiya showed no weakness and swung the stone in her hand vigorously, smashing it hard at Dai Feng.

Dai Feng was unable to dodge and was hit on the arm, which immediately tore his skin and flesh apart, and blood flowed out. He gasped in pain, but his anger grew even stronger, and regardless of his injuries, he pounced on Dai Shiya again.

The two men wrestled with each other. Although Dai Shiya was thin, her instinct for survival inspired her tremendous strength. She held on to the wooden box tightly and prevented Dai Feng from succeeding.

In the chaos, the lock of the wooden box suddenly loosened, and with a "click", the wooden box fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.

Dai Shiya didn't care about anything else. She pushed Dai Feng away and reached out to grab the thing. Dai Feng also rushed over at the same time. Their fingers touched each other and they grabbed the thing almost at the same time - an ancient jade ring.

This jade ring is emerald green all over and feels smooth to the touch. It is obviously worth a lot of money at first glance. More importantly, it may very well be the key to unlocking the code of the will!

"Give it to me!" Dai Feng roared, and pulled hard, trying to snatch the jade ring away.

Dai Shiya's fingers were left with bloody marks, but she gritted her teeth and held the jade ring tightly.

"Shi Ya, let me help you!" At this time, Wei Qing rushed over despite the pain. She suddenly pounced on Dai Feng's back and bit his shoulder with her mouth.

"Ah!" Dai Feng cried out in pain and subconsciously let go. Wei Qing took the opportunity to bite his shoulder.

"Ah!" Dai Feng cried out in pain and subconsciously let go of his hand.

Dai Shiya seized the opportunity, pulled hard, snatched the jade ring, then quickly got up, pulled Wei Qing up and ran away.

"Don't run! Stop right there!" Dai Feng covered his injured shoulder and shouted angrily, but Dai Shiya and Wei Qing had already run far away.

Dai Shiya and Wei Qing ran to the back door of the old house in one breath and stopped panting.

"We...we succeeded..." Wei Qing said weakly, with an excited smile on her face.

Dai Shiya nodded and tightly grasped the jade ring in her hand, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She raised her head and looked out the door. It was dark at night and she couldn't see the road ahead clearly, but she knew that the battle was not over yet. In fact, it was just the beginning.

Suddenly, the roar of a car engine broke the silence of the night. A dazzling light shone from afar. A black sedan came speeding and stopped steadily in front of Dai Shiya.

The car door opened and Dai Ming got out. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were icy cold, as if he was a messenger from hell.

"Dai Shiya, do you think you can really escape?" Dai Ming's voice was low and cold, without a trace of emotion.

Dai Shiya's heart sank suddenly. She knew that she had fallen into the trap after all.

Dai Shiya clenched the jade ring in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force. She looked directly into Dai Ming's cold eyes and tried to stay calm. "What do you want?"

"Hand over the things," Dai Ming said calmly, but with an unquestionable pressure, "I can consider giving you a break."

"Let me off the hook?" Dai Shiya sneered, "Dai Ming, you really overestimate yourself. Do you think I will believe your lies?"

"Believe it or not," Dai Ming's lips curled up with a cold arc, "but you have no other choice." He winked at the people behind him, and several tall and strong bodyguards immediately approached and surrounded Dai Shiya and Wei Qing.

Wei Qing tightly grasped Dai Shiya's arm, her eyes full of worry. They had finally managed to snatch the token from Dai Feng, but was this going to be the end of it?

"Dai Shiya, you should know that you are not qualified to inherit grandfather's estate," Dai Ming approached step by step, greed flashing in his eyes, "You are just an outsider, a fake who has taken over the magpie's nest! If you know what's good for you, just hand over your things obediently, and I can let you and your friends leave safely."

"Don't even think about it!" Dai Shiya protected Wei Qing behind her and said firmly, "I am the granddaughter recognized by my grandfather himself. I have the right of inheritance! I will never give this jade ring to you!"

Dai Ming's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He didn't waste any more time and ordered in a cold voice: "Catch them!"

The bodyguards responded and rushed towards Dai Shiya and Wei Qing like wolves and tigers. Dai Shiya pulled Wei Qing and turned to run. They ran wildly in the night, with the bodyguards chasing them closely behind.

"This way!" Wei Qing noticed a motorcycle parked on the side of the road with the engine still running. She pulled Dai Shiya over and quickly got on the motorcycle.

Dai Shiya didn't care about anything else, she turned over and sat behind Wei Qing, hugging her waist tightly. Wei Qing stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle rushed out like an arrow and disappeared into the night.

"Chase them! We can't let them get away!" Dai Ming's exasperated voice sounded behind them, along with the roar of the car engine. Dai Shiya knew that they were not out of danger yet.

The motorcycle sped through the night, the wind whistling in her ears. Dai Shiya hugged Wei Qing tightly, feeling her body temperature, her heart filled with gratitude and uneasiness.

"Wei Qing, thank you," Dai Shiya's voice was blown away by the wind, "If it weren't for you, I would have..."

"Don't be silly," Wei Qing interrupted her, "We are friends, aren't we?"

"But..."

"No buts," Wei Qing said firmly, "We will be fine, believe me."

Dai Shiya stopped talking and just hugged Wei Qing tighter. She knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and what was waiting for them would be a more thrilling challenge.

Suddenly, the motorcycle jolted violently. Wei Qing screamed in surprise. The motorcycle lost control and crashed into a tree trunk on the side of the road...
