Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 594: Astonishing Guess (1)_1

"Yes, Chief!" Secretary Bai acknowledged immediately and set out to make arrangements. Security naturally took top priority when the Chief was planning to investigate the night market.

"Grandpa Chief, why don’t we ask Grandpa and Dad to come along? I haven’t strolled through the night market with them in a long time, and it would also let them know about the things happening within Beijing." Shangguan You spoke as if affectionately, but her mind was continuously scheming. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Hahaha, you little girl, always thinking of old Shangguan. Alright, alright. Call Old Zhi and Old Yu as well. We few old fellows haven’t relaxed like this in a long time. Now, we old folks, along with you youngsters, will go on a night walk through Beijing and reminisce about the old times," Chief Fang said nostalgically.

"Chief, I’ll take care of it right away."

"No need, we’ll pick them up on our way. I believe they also haven’t had the time to go for a long while," Chief Fang said decisively and got to work. Within less than ten minutes, all the arrangements were in place.

Accompanied by Secretary Bai, Shangguan You left Zijing City with Chief Fang and Luo Xiao, leaving behind the layers of security and heading towards the bustling night market. After picking up members of the Shangguan and Yu families, they set off for Sleepless Street, the most vibrant night street in the heart of Beijing.

The dim streetlights stretched their shadows long, very long. The four elderly men walked at the head of the group, followed by Shangguan Yu, Shangguan Hao, and the Yu brothers. Bringing up the rear were Shangguan You, Shangguan Qing, and Luo Tong. Numerous bodyguards were scattered throughout the crowd, maintaining a close yet unobtrusive protective perimeter around the dignitaries and ensuring a certain distance was kept between them and the public.

"You little devil, how could you bring the Chief out to the night market?" Shangguan Hao asked his daughter in a low voice, seeing her leisurely appearance. They hadn’t allowed her to go out, yet she had managed to bring the highest-ranking official along. Her wings had truly grown strong; she no longer listened to her old father.

"Daddy, this is called observing public sentiment, understanding the people, and integrating into their lives," Shangguan You retorted, rolling her eyes disdainfully at her father. He only knows how to drill soldiers, forgetting that he too is a person who needs to mingle with the public.

"You girl, are you mocking your daddy?" Shangguan Hao’s face stiffened. What kind of daughter have I raised, showing no respect for her father? I’m a military officer responsible for managing soldiers well. Diving deep into public sentiment is a job for leaders.

"Daddy, how could I? We haven’t strolled through the night market in so long. Let’s enjoy it together tonight. Daddy, the snacks here are so delicious; let’s go eat, shall we?" Shangguan You took Shangguan Hao’s arm, coaxing him with a charming voice. With the impending storm about to hit Beijing, everyone needed to be prepared. When it was time for a major shake-up, she didn’t want her family to be in danger. It was better to take precautions now than to be caught off guard by whatever might happen later.

The night was as bustling as ever, with countless street stalls selling authentic Beijing snacks. Like Shangguan You and her companions, many people were leisurely wandering around. This was Sleepless Street, Beijing’s most famous nighttime spot, lively from dusk till dawn.

It was around 9 p.m., just the beginning of the night. Many couples and elderly people were leisurely strolling, while others were exercising, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

"Girl, you didn’t bring us all out here just to sample these snacks, did you?" Shangguan Qing glanced at Shangguan You and sighed. This girl has made such a big production of this; what exactly is she planning?

"Although these things are delicious, I brought you here to watch a show. Isn’t it better to eat while we watch?" Shangguan You shot Shangguan Qing a look. Just follow along. Why are you trying to stir things up?

"A play? What play are you talking about?" Luo Tong also asked, intrigued by the prosperous scene and wondering what sort of drama they could witness there.

"Why the rush? It’s just the beginning."

The four elderly men at the front nodded in approval, observing the fulfilling lives of Beijing’s citizens. On a giant screen in the square ahead, international news was currently playing.

"According to the latest reports, a large-scale brawl has erupted in U Country. The military has been deployed to suppress it, but the results have not been significant. In some cases, it has even backfired. Not only has the brawl not been resolved, but it has escalated into a confrontation between the military and street gangs, causing chaos throughout U Country. High-ranking officials in U Country are currently striving to mediate the situation. Please watch the following latest report," announced the newscaster.

As the anchor spoke, chaotic scenes unfolded on the large screen. Despite the editing, the bloodshed was evident.

The military, despite being rigorously trained, failed to follow orders. This insubordination was an extremely serious matter, escalating a simple brawl into a large-scale confrontation with hooligans.

Shangguan You and her party stopped. The four dignitaries at the front watched the bloody scenes unfolding on the screen, their expressions pensive.

"Not only has a major bloody incident occurred in U Country, but similar events have also taken place in many other countries. Incidents triggered by verbal disputes are constantly evolving. Please watch the following reports..."

Shangguan You watched the news on the screen without surprise; she had anticipated these events. Although this was international news, something the highest officials paid close attention to, seeing it presented so starkly still made their faces turn grave.

"Let’s head back," Chief Fang said, his expression darkening. Events are unfolding just as Shangguan You predicted. It seems I also need to take swift measures to prevent things from escalating.

"Yes, Chief," Secretary Bai affirmed.

"Damn it! I came here to eat, and there’s a hair in your food! Are you tired of living? How dare you try to rip me off! And you still have the nerve to ask for money? You bastard, are you looking for death?!" A piercing cry rang out, drawing the attention of everyone present. Chief Fang, especially, moved towards the source of the commotion.
