Half an hour later, the white Qin Plus stopped outside the Song family's luxurious riverside villa.
Song Qiuya unlocked the front door with her fingerprint. Without even changing her shoes, she rushed straight upstairs and pushed open the study door.
The study was spacious, with floor-to-ceiling rosewood bookshelves covering an entire wall, packed with all kinds of books.
A black laptop sat quietly closed on the broad desk.
This was it.
Song Qiuya hurried over and opened the laptop.
Once it booted up, a simple password field appeared on the screen.
"Qiu Ya, birthday."
Her father's weak voice echoed in her ears.
Song Qiuya took a deep breath and typed eight digits with slightly trembling fingers.
It was her birthday.
"Beep."
The password was correct.
The desktop was very plain. Apart from a few common office programs, there was nothing unusual.
"What exactly did Dad want us to see?" Song Qiuya was bewildered. She opened folder after folder, but they contained only ordinary company documents. Nothing seemed out of place.
"Take your time, Qiu Ya."
Chen Lin came up behind her and leaned down, resting his chin lightly on her fragrant hair. His voice was steady as a rock.
"If he deliberately hid it, it won't be that easy to find."
"Let's see if there are any hidden files."
He reached out and covered her cold little hand on the mouse with his own, deftly navigating the computer's settings.
Soon, a previously invisible, translucent folder appeared in a corner of the desktop.
Its name was simple, just one word-"Gold."
Song Qiuya's heart lurched.
She exchanged a glance with Chen Lin, each seeing a hint of gravity in the other's eyes.
She moved the mouse and double-clicked the folder.
There was only one file inside: a scanned document in PDF format.
