The cold metal against her skin caused a chill, and Dai Shiya's breathing stagnated.
The threat of death was so real, but she was strangely calm.
"Who are you?" Dai Shiya tried to stay calm and tried not to let her voice tremble.
The answer to her was silence, only the thick fog rolled silently, like a giant beast, slowly opening its bloody mouth to swallow her.
Dai Shiya took a deep breath and stepped carefully into the foggy space.
The thick fog was like a thick wall, blocking her sight, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her.
The ground under her feet was slippery, and every step was like stepping on cotton, weak and powerless.
The surroundings were terribly silent, and only her own light breathing echoed in her ears, adding to the tense atmosphere.
Her heart was beating violently in her chest, one by one, as if it was about to break through her chest.
Suddenly, a ray of light emerged from the fog.
The light gradually expanded, forming a series of illusory images.
Dai Shiya looked closely and her face turned pale instantly.
Those were the painful memories she had experienced: being framed, ridiculed, isolated...
Those unbearable past events came like a tide, impacting her heart.
She saw herself being ridiculed by her stepmother and sister, framed by them, and lost everything.
She saw herself being ridiculed by everyone at the banquet, being ridiculed as the daughter of a nouveau riche, and not qualified to enter the upper class. She
saw herself alone, helpless, struggling to survive in the dark...
These painful memories pierced her nerves like needles, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
The suppressed emotions surrounded her like a thick fog, making her feel suffocated.
Her body began to tremble slightly, as if she would collapse at any time.
"No..." Dai Shiya moaned in pain, tears blurring her vision.
The images in the fog became clearer and more real, making her seem to have returned to those painful moments again.
A voice whispered in her ear: "Give up, you can't escape..."
Dai Shiya gritted her teeth and tried to control her trembling body.
She knew that she couldn't give up. She had to find the truth and uncover the true face of the black hand behind the scenes.
"I won't give up..." She whispered, with a hint of stubbornness in her voice.
The image in the mist suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Dai Shiya's heartbeat became more intense, and she felt an inexplicable fear rising from the bottom of her heart.
"Who is it? Who is playing tricks?" She shouted.
A cold laugh sounded in the mist: "You will know soon..."
Dai Shiya gritted her teeth and let the painful memories that came like a tide tear her nerves.
She knew that if she indulged in the pain of the past, she would never be able to break free from this mist.
She forced herself to calm down and began to look for clues in the endless darkness.
She stretched out her hand and carefully touched the surrounding mist. The cold mist was like countless tiny tentacles, wrapped around her fingertips, bringing waves of chills.
She moved slowly, trying to find any unusual places in the mist.
Her fingers groped over the wet ground and touched the cold walls. Every time she touched, she became more alert.
She knew that there were dangers hidden in the fog. If she was not careful, she would fall into an irretrievable situation.
Suddenly, her fingers touched a hard object.
The object was cold and smooth, like a slate.
She felt something in her heart and carefully groped with both hands, and found some vague lines engraved on the slate.
She observed attentively, and the lines began to become clear, like an intricate map.
She carefully identified the marks on the map, her heart began to beat violently, and a sense of hope she had never had before ignited in her heart.
She realized that this map was the key to uncovering the truth of the fog!
At this moment, the fog began to roll violently, and a powerful force attacked from all directions.
Dai Shiya raised her head suddenly, and saw a pair of scarlet eyes emerging from the fog, flashing a cold light, like a demon from hell.
The owners of those eyes let out a creepy roar, and they pounced on Dai Shiya with their fangs and claws, trying to devour her.
Dai Shiya quickly dodged an attack, and she felt a cold breath brushing against her cheek, bringing a stinging sensation.
She understood that this was the last strength of the mastermind behind the scenes, and they would never let her get the truth easily.
She took a deep breath, mobilized all her strength, and prepared for the next battle.
A powerful energy condensed in her palms, and the golden light shone around her, forming a sharp contrast with the red eyes in the mist.
She waved her hands, and the energy turned into a series of light blades, slashing at the attacking figures.
The light blades cut through the air, making a sharp whistle, intertwined with the enemy's roar, forming a terrifying symphony.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the fluctuation of energy caused the mist to begin to roll violently.
Dai Shiya kept dodging the enemy's attacks, while also looking for opportunities to counterattack.
She felt a powerful energy surging in her body, as if to tear her apart.
Her body began to tremble slightly, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Dai Shiya sneered, and the golden light in her hand suddenly surged and condensed into a sharp sword.
"Really? Then give it a try!" She shouted, and her body was as fast as lightning, stabbing straight to the source of the sound.
The tip of the sword collided with the mist, making a harsh friction sound, as if it was going to tear the space apart.
A powerful force gushed out from the tip of the sword, and the golden light instantly engulfed the entire misty space.
The red eyes flashed a few times in the golden light, let out a shrill scream, and then disappeared completely.
The mist began to roll violently, like boiling water, and black air rose from the mist, emitting a disgusting stench.
Dai Shiya stood firmly in place, letting the mist roll and the black air fill the air.
The long sword in her hand still exuded a dazzling golden light, like a sacred blade, cutting off all evil.
She could feel that the enemy's power was rapidly dissipating, and their last trump card had been completely defeated.
The joy of victory surged into her heart like a tide. Dai Shiya breathed a long sigh of relief, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
She watched the fog gradually dissipate, revealing the original space.
As the fog dissipated, a crystal stone shining with light appeared on the ground.
Dai Shiya walked forward and bent down to pick up the crystal stone.
The crystal stone felt warm to the touch, and a powerful energy flowed into her body from the crystal stone, making her feel comfortable.
She closed her eyes and carefully felt the information contained in the crystal stone.
Pictures flashed through her mind, and she saw the truth of the book, the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes, and her future destiny.
She finally understood that all this was a carefully designed game, and she was the chess piece in this game.
But she was no longer the chess piece at the mercy of others. She had mastered all the information and she would control her own destiny.
She opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with confidence.
All the crises brought by the mastermind behind the scenes and his forces completely collapsed at this moment.
She stood at the pinnacle of victory, with glory on her body, and her heart was full of satisfaction and pride.
Suddenly, a warm embrace hugged her tightly from behind.
"You did a good job..." A deep voice sounded in her ears.
Dai Shiya turned around and fell into a familiar embrace.
Strong arms surrounded her, and the warm breath brushed her face, dispelling the last trace of coldness brought by the fog.
She raised her head and saw her husband's deep eyes, which were full of love and concern.
He gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."
Dai Shiya raised a happy smile at the corner of her mouth. She buried her head in his chest, feeling his heartbeat and feeling the long-lost peace and tranquility.
Wei Qing also came over with a relieved smile on her face.
"I knew you could do it!" She gave Dai Shiya a big hug, her tone full of pride and pride.
The bright lights shone down, dispelling all the haze and illuminating the happy smiling faces of the three people.
Dai Shiya looked around, her heart full of emotion.
Once, she thought that she would never be able to escape the fate, but now, she finally relied on her wisdom and courage to overcome all difficulties and win her own happiness.
She reached out and held the hands of her husband and Wei Qing. The hands of the three were tightly intertwined, and a warm current flowed between each other.
At this moment, they were no longer fighting alone, but each other's strongest backing.
Laughter and joy echoed in the room, and the atmosphere of warmth and happiness spread, as if everything had returned to the original beauty.
Dai Shiya felt this hard-won happiness and was full of gratitude.
She knew that all this was inseparable from the support and help of her husband and Wei Qing.
However, this good time did not last too long. Just
when Dai Shiya was still immersed in the joy of victory, a rapid mobile phone ring broke the silence in the room.
Dai Shiya picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was a senior executive of the family business, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in her heart.
She answered the phone, but before she could speak, the other party's anxious voice came over: "Boss Dai, it's bad! Something happened to the company!"
Dai Shiya's face instantly became solemn, and the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.
She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was trembling: "The company... the company's account... has been frozen!"
