Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Unexpected: A Strategy to Break the Situation

Wei Qing's doubts were stopped by Dai Shiya's eyes. She walked quickly to the computer, her fingers flying, and the code on the screen flowed down like a waterfall.

"I want to see all the surveillance videos near the place where Li Ming was last seen within five minutes." Her tone was cold and full of unquestionable majesty.

Wei Qing took action immediately, her fingers tapping on the keyboard to leave afterimages.

Soon, the surveillance footage around the warehouse appeared on the screen.

However, except for a few homeless people rummaging through the trash cans, there was no trace of Li Ming.

Dai Shiya narrowed her eyes and tapped the table lightly with her fingers, once, twice, three times...

The rhythm became faster and faster, as if tapping on everyone's heart.

"What about the inside of the warehouse?" Dai Shiya's voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible anxiety.

Wei Qing shook her head, "There is no internal surveillance."

"Damn it!" Dai Shiya cursed, and a nameless fire surged in her heart.

She got up and paced back and forth in the study. Her high heels tapped on the wooden floor, making a crisp sound, as if tapping in the silent night, it was particularly harsh.

Suddenly, she stopped and her eyes fell on a photo on the computer screen.

In the photo, a man in a black hoodie flashed by, his figure was blurry, almost blending into the night.

Dai Shiya suddenly enlarged the photo and carefully observed the man's figure and gait. An inexplicable sense of familiarity came to her mind.

"Check all vehicle records entering and leaving the city, and focus on black SUVs." Dai Shiya pointed to the blurry figure in the photo, her tone firm and decisive.

However, the vehicle records showed that there were hundreds of black SUVs entering and leaving the city that day, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Dai Shiya frowned, and an unprecedented sense of powerlessness came over her.

Fake news, overwhelming fake news!

One by one, so-called "witnesses" suddenly appeared, claiming to have seen Li Ming in different places. Each clue seemed true, but contradictory.

Dai Shiya was led by the nose by these false news, bumping around like a headless fly, but she could never find a breakthrough.

"Madam..." Wei Qing looked at Dai Shiya worriedly. She had never seen Dai Shiya so confused and at a loss.

Dai Shiya took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm, but she found that her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Everything around her seemed to be shrouded in fog, making her unable to see the direction and find a way out.

The repressed emotions almost drowned her and made her feel suffocated.

At this moment, Dai Shiya's cell phone rang. It was her husband calling.

"Shiya, I heard about Li Ming..." His voice was low, with a hint of imperceptible concern.

Dai Shiya suppressed her irritability and answered as calmly as possible: "Well, I'm checking."

"Don't work too hard," her husband's voice was gentle and firm, "Be careful."

"I know." Dai Shiya hung up the phone, but she was even more irritated.

She suddenly swept the documents on the table to the ground, and the scattered papers on the ground were like her chaotic thoughts at the moment.

"Wei Qing," Dai Shiya's voice was hoarse and a little tired, "burn all the clues." Wei Qing was stunned. Looking at the documents scattered on the ground and the strange light flashing in Dai Shiya's eyes, she realized that Dai Shiya had not really given up, but was ready to find another way.

"Madam, you mean..."

"Burn them," Dai Shiya repeated with a firm tone and a hint of determination, "Burn all the clues about Li Ming." She sneered, "They want me to run around like a headless fly, but I won't let them have their way." The blazing fire reflected on Dai Shiya's face, and the jumping flames seemed to reflect her inner determination at the moment.

She took out her mobile phone and called her husband: "Help me check the family's personnel transfer records in the past three months, especially the middle-level managers. I want the most detailed information."

Dai Shiya's move was completely beyond the enemy's expectations.

The puzzle that was originally set up was now as useless as waste paper.

The enemy hiding in the dark realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his strategy.

A man in a suit and leather shoes appeared at the door of Dai Shiya's study. He knocked on the door and said respectfully, "Madam, the master asks you to come over."

Dai Shiya looked up, glanced at the man sharply, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I know." She stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked out gracefully.

The man followed closely behind her .

Dai Shiya came to her father's study, and the air was filled with a faint smell of cigars.

Her father sat behind a large mahogany desk, holding a cigar in his hand, puffing out smoke.

"Shiya, I heard that you are investigating Li Ming's affairs recently?" His tone was calm, and no emotion could be heard.

"Yes, father." Dai Shiya looked calm and sat down opposite her father.

"Don't interfere in this matter anymore," her father's voice was low and majestic, "I will handle it."

Dai Shiya did not speak, but just looked at her father quietly, without a trace of retreat in her eyes.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the air was filled with tension, as if a tight string could break at any time.

"Father," Dai Shiya finally spoke, her tone calm but with a hint of firmness, "I must find out about Li Ming."

"You..." The father stood up suddenly, and the cigar in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He pointed at Dai Shiya, his fingers trembling slightly, "You are challenging my authority!"

"I just want to find out the truth." Dai Shiya met her father's gaze without fear.

The study fell into a brief silence, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

Suddenly, Dai Shiya's mobile phone vibrated. She took a look and her face changed slightly.

"It seems that someone is more anxious than me." She turned the screen of the mobile phone to her father, and a line of words was clearly displayed on it: "You don't have much time."

Dai Shiya's eyes were fixed on the screen of the mobile phone. The provocative words were like a fuse, instantly igniting the anger in her heart.

She quickly slid the screen and carefully looked through the family personnel transfer records sent by her husband.

The dense list dazzled her, but she did not miss any details.

Suddenly, a name jumped into her eyes-Zhang Qiang.

This person is the human resources director of an important subsidiary of the family. Although his position is not high, he holds the key power to transfer personnel.

Dai Shiya magnified Zhang Qiang's personal information, and her brows furrowed more and more.

In the past three months, this person has frequently entered and exited an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, and each time he stayed there for a long time.

There were also several large sums of money from unknown sources in his bank account.

These anomalies instantly dissipated the doubts in Dai Shiya's heart, as if the clouds had been cleared and the blue sky was revealed. She couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth.

"Found you." She whispered in a low voice, with excitement flashing in her eyes, as if a hunter had found the trace of prey.

The depressing atmosphere in the study dissipated instantly, replaced by a sense of excitement that a breakthrough was imminent.

Dai Shiya breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden. She picked up her mobile phone and quickly sent a message to Wei Qing.

Soon, Wei Qing pushed the door open and saw the long-lost smile on Dai Shiya's face, and she also showed a relieved expression.

"Madam, have you found a clue?" There was a hint of expectation in her tone.

Dai Shiya nodded, handed the phone to Wei Qing, pointed at Zhang Qiang's information and said, "There is something wrong with this person. I need more detailed information about him, including his recent call records and entry and exit records." Wei Qing took the phone and quickly browsed the information on it. Her eyes became sharp. She immediately nodded and said, "I understand. I'll do it right away." Wei Qing turned and left. Her movements were crisp and neat, like a sword drawn from its sheath.

At this time, Dai Shiya's phone vibrated again. It was a message from her husband: "What do you need me to do for you?" This sentence was like warm sunshine, dispelling the haze in Dai Shiya's heart.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a warm current surged in her heart. She quickly replied: "Help me check all the real estate and vehicle information under Zhang Qiang's name. The more detailed the better." As

the night deepened, Dai Shiya was the only one left in the study. She sat at the desk, holding a piece of paper in her hand, which was densely recorded with Zhang Qiang's personal information.

Under the light, her eyes were firm and sharp, like stars in the dark night, shining with the light of wisdom.

She felt a surge of power in her chest, which filled her with fighting spirit.

She believed that this time, she would be able to completely uncover the truth and wipe out the enemies hiding in the dark.

Suddenly, someone knocked gently on the door of the study.

Dai Shiya looked up and saw a figure standing at the door.

She raised a mysterious smile and said softly, "Come in."

The door of the study opened silently, and Wei Qing walked in quickly and handed a document to Dai Shiya.

"Madam, this is the information you want."

Dai Shiya took the document and flipped through the detailed information about Zhang Qiang on it.

Every line of words and every number, like a beating note, composed a melody of conspiracy in her mind.

Her slender fingers slid across the paper, and the rough touch of the paper came from her fingertips, but it could not cover up the burning excitement in her heart.

A property under Zhang Qiang's name caught her attention. It was a villa located on the outskirts of the city, registered in the name of a strange woman.

Dai Shiya immediately asked someone to investigate this woman, and found that this woman was actually closely related to the person in power of the hostile family.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Dai Shiya whispered, with a hint of imperceptible excitement in her tone.

She seemed to be on a huge chessboard, and every move was crucial.

And now, she finally found a key chess piece.

Dai Shiya's eyes fell on Wei Qing, "Immediately send someone to secretly monitor Zhang Qiang, I want to know his every move." Wei Qing took the order and left, and the sound of the door closing was particularly clear in the quiet study.

Dai Shiya got up and walked to the window, looking at the bright night view outside the window, with an indescribable excitement in her heart.

She felt that she was getting closer and closer to the truth, like climbing a mountain and about to reach the top, the pleasure of conquest made her blood boil.

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the tranquility of the study.

"Come in." Dai Shiya said, with a hint of imperceptible tension in her tone.

Zhang Qiang pushed the door open with a flattering smile on his face.

"Madam, it's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Dai Shiya turned around, stared at Zhang Qiang with a sharp gaze, and said in a cold tone: "Manager Zhang, let's talk about your recent 'business'."

Zhang Qiang's smile froze on his face.

Dai Shiya walked to the desk, picked up a document, and threw it in front of Zhang Qiang.

"Take a look, what is this?"

Zhang Qiang picked up the document tremblingly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

On the document was the evidence of his intelligence transaction with a hostile family, including the time, place, people, and even the amount of the transaction.

He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it became difficult to breathe.

"This...this..." Zhang Qiang stuttered and couldn't speak, cold sweat ran down his forehead and soaked his collar.

He felt the temperature in the study suddenly drop, as if he was in an ice cellar.

Dai Shiya snorted coldly, "What? Nothing to say? "

Just then, Zhang Qiang suddenly pulled out a document from his pocket, threw it in front of Dai Shiya, and shouted hysterically: "This is the real evidence! It's you, it's you who colluded with the enemy family and betrayed the family's interests!"

Dai Shiya picked up the document, glanced at the contents on it, and her face instantly became solemn.

This document turned out to be a photo of her private meeting with the head of the enemy family, as well as a forged email record.

"You..." Dai Shiya raised her head, stared at Zhang Qiang with cold eyes, and said word by word: "You are playing with fire!"

Zhang Qiang suddenly laughed, and his laughter was full of madness and despair.

"Playing with fire? I've already been in a sea of fire! Since we are going to die, let's die together!"
