The next morning, the vast sky seemed to have been gently painted by nature, the magical artist, as it began to glow with the first light of dawn.
The thin, gauze-like clouds resembled a soft veil, and the morning light, like a lively sprite, eagerly pierced through them.
Strands of sunlight broke free from the clouds, like fine golden threads, scattering and sprinkling across the Xia family compound.
This ancient mansion, which carries the glory and deep memories of generations, was instantly draped in a dazzling and dreamlike golden veil.
The flowers, plants, and trees in the courtyard, gently caressed by the sunlight, seem like spirits awakening from their slumber.
The dewdrops on the leaves shimmered with crystal-clear light. A gentle breeze blew, and the dewdrops rolled gently, as if they were nimble little elves jumping and playing happily on the leaves. Each drop reflected colorful brilliance, adding a touch of liveliness and playfulness to this tranquil courtyard.
However, at this moment, everyone in the Xia family compound seemed oblivious to the beautiful, picturesque morning light.
The entire compound seemed to be enveloped in an invisible atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Everyone's face was filled with solemnity and focus as they eagerly awaited the news that would rewrite the fate of their family.
As the Xia family eagerly awaited their arrival, everything unfolded exactly as Xia Xiong had predicted. Under the cover of the deep night, the Guo family servants that Xia Wan had mentioned were quietly apprehended by law enforcement officers.
They were like well-trained hunters, striking with deadly precision and capturing all their targets.
When this exciting news, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, rippled through the Xia family compound with lightning speed, the entire Xia family instantly erupted in excitement.
Cheers and gasps of amazement mingled together, like surging waves, one after another. The gloom that had been weighing on everyone's hearts for so long was finally dispelled completely at this moment, vanishing without a trace.
The younger generation clapped and cheered excitedly, while the older generation had tears of emotion glistening in their eyes. They knew that this was not only a major blow to the enemy, but also a crucial step for the Xia family toward a bright future.
What was even more unexpected was that Guo Guanghua, like a rat pulled from a deep burrow by a hunter, was taken away for questioning by law enforcement officers without any resistance. This outcome was like a powerful bombshell, sending shockwaves through the hearts of the Xia family.
Xia Xiong's brows, which had been furrowed with worry for a long time, relaxed instantly at this moment, as if the deep wrinkles had been smoothed out by this sudden good news.
His eyes widened in disbelief, filled with surprise and shock, and his lips trembled slightly with excitement.
Recalling Guo Guanghua's usual cunning and his intricate and deeply entrenched network of power in the business world, Xia Xiong originally thought that to successfully bring him down, he would have to go through an arduous and protracted struggle, which would not only consume a lot of time and energy, but also possibly come at a heavy price.
However, reality was so surprising, things progressed so rapidly, and victory, like a ray of dawn, descended upon the Xia family so suddenly.
"That was exhilarating!" Xia Xiong suddenly stood up, his hands slamming heavily on the table with a deep, powerful sound, as if he had gathered all his strength.
The sound seemed to be the release of emotions that had been suppressed deep within him for a long time, or a cheer and shout of victory.
A long-lost look of joy bloomed on his face, and his smile, like the warmest sunshine in spring, instantly illuminated the entire room.
The gloom that had been hanging over him for days was completely dispelled by this sudden good news, and he became incredibly bright.
When Xia Wan heard the news, she simply sat quietly in a chair to the side, her posture elegant and composed.
Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile that contained a subtle confidence and composure.
Her smile was like a gentle breeze in spring, soft and soothing, and then she quickly returned to her usual calm and composed demeanor.
In her view, all of this was simply a natural and inevitable outcome.
From the moment the system descended upon her, the demise of Guo Guanghua and the others was already predetermined.
With the incredibly precise clues provided by the system, it's only a matter of time before these people are caught.
Now that Guo Guanghua has been taken away for questioning, he is like a severely wounded beast in dire straits, and we must not give him any chance to catch his breath or turn the tables.
As the saying goes, "Strike while the iron is hot," Xia Wan firmly believed in this principle. She knew that opportunity knocks but once, and she had to seize this once-in-a-lifetime chance to completely defeat the enemy.
“Grandpa, now that Guo Guanghua has been taken away, we must press our advantage.” Xia Wan’s eyes were firm and her gaze was sharp as she stared directly at Xia Xiong. She spoke in a steady yet powerful tone, “I suggest you immediately arrange for someone to search his study.”
Xia Xiong was slightly taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
His gaze was fixed on Xia Wan, and he wondered to himself what this usually intelligent girl was planning today.
What is she really up to?
"Search the study? Wanwan, why?" he couldn't help but ask, his voice filled with urgency and curiosity, as if he were searching for a mysterious treasure.
Xia Wan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious and unpredictable smile, a smile that seemed to conceal endless secrets.
Her eyes shone with confidence, like the brightest star in the night sky.
