Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 637 The Gunshot_1

This was also why Shangguan You, who was at a distance, felt waves of stabbing pain in her chest. It was the resonance of familial love, a bond clearly manifesting between the daughter and father of the Shangguan Family.

"Yes, Commander, rest assured, I will ensure the stability of the troops!" Liu Dabao saluted Shangguan Hao and loudly promised, but before he could finish his sentence, gunfire once again erupted within the ranks.

"BANG. BANG."

"How can you resort to violence?"

"Do you not even listen to military orders? How dare you raise a hand?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"I’ve long found you disagreeable! Why should you command me?"

"Your regimental commander pointed his gun at the Commander! You are all a disgrace to the military!"

"That’s right, you don’t deserve to be soldiers!"

"Commander, we will avenge you! Brothers, let’s go, protect the Commander!"

The sounds of shouting, gunfire, fighting, and bodies falling once again filled the air. Soldiers who had been training seriously moments before suddenly formed into groups and started fighting, even resorting to their firearms.

"Everyone stop right there! Do you still have any sense of military discipline? Any loyalty to the Party?"

"Stop now! Brawling is not permitted in the military, and carrying personal weapons is strictly forbidden!"

Command after command was issued, but those men only grew more frenzied, blatantly ignoring Liu Dabao’s furious shouts. The entire unit was plunged into bloodshed.

A disciplined, law-abiding unit exuded an air of solemn sanctity, but a chaotic army inspired dread. The current out-of-control scene of thousands of soldiers fighting each other was even more terrifying to behold; this was the situation Shangguan Hao’s troops now faced.

"All of you stop right now! Do you have the slightest awareness of being a soldier? Do you even consider yourselves soldiers? Everyone stop!" Shangguan Hao struggled to his feet, allowing Gui Yongjun and the soldiers beside him to support his weak frame. Even Liu Dabao had by then been caught up in the soldiers’ brawl.

Shangguan Hao shouted angrily. His dignified voice, though not loud, pierced through the entire training ground, word by word. Fresh blood stained Shangguan Hao’s crimson military uniform a deeper shade, and a large amount of blood pooled on the ground beneath him. He staggered, fighting to keep himself upright.

"What is the sacred duty of a soldier? Tell me!" Shangguan Hao waved his hands, his voice heavy as he spoke. He pushed away the two soldiers supporting him and took a step forward, his gaze imposing as he looked at the brawling soldiers.

"Reporting to the Commander, a soldier’s sacred duty is to obey orders!" Liu Dabao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his sonorous voice once again resonating.

The countless soldiers who were fighting simultaneously stopped their actions. Those who were about to surge forward also halted, all eyes now on the blood-soaked Shangguan Hao.

"Your sacred duty is to obey orders. So, what are you doing right now? Do you realize the severe consequences of your current actions?" Shangguan Hao’s body swayed, and Gui Yongjun quickly stepped forward to support him, preventing him from collapsing.

When Shangguan You arrived, this was the scene that greeted her—an image so profoundly shocking it would be forever etched into her memory. Seeing Shangguan Hao bathed in blood, severely wounded, yet still standing ramrod straight, tears began to well up in her eyes.

She felt proud of Shangguan Hao; he was a qualified soldier, a man deserving of respect.

"Daddy, I am proud of you, proud to be your daughter," Shangguan You murmured softly.

"Reporting to the Commander, we realize our fault! We will resolutely follow the leadership’s arrangements!" Countless voices rose from the training ground, their sound piercing through the air in waves.

"Liu Dabao, is this how you serve as a regimental commander?" Shangguan Hao bellowed. He stepped forward unsteadily. He was pallid from excessive blood loss and the cold weather; his lips, clenched as he forcefully endured the pain to avoid passing out, were bitten until they bled.

Seeing Shangguan Hao drenched in blood, tears streamed down Shangguan You’s face. In the snow-white world, the image of her father covered in blood was strikingly tragic and heroic.

"Reporting to the Commander, Liu Dabao has failed in his duties! Please punish me!" Liu Dabao stepped forward, shouting loudly towards Shangguan Hao.

"Daddy!" Like a ghostly apparition, Shangguan You quickly appeared behind Shangguan Hao, her hands firmly supporting his tottering form.

Second Young Master Ye’s cold eyes flickered as he followed closely behind Shangguan You. He extended his hand, and together, one on each side, they steadied Shangguan Hao.

"Girl, it’s dangerous here; go back quickly!" Shangguan Hao exclaimed. Seeing the familiar figure, the pain he had been forcefully suppressing surged through him once more. His legs gave way, and he fainted.

"Daddy, leave the rest to me. I will definitely complete the task you’ve given me." Shangguan You took out a few Medicinal Pills and fed them to Shangguan Hao. With a sweep of her hands, she used the Plum Blossom Divine Needle to seal his bleeding wounds. Seeing Shangguan Hao’s deathly pale face from excessive blood loss, tears streamed down her cheeks. She pressed her hands against his back, continuously transferring her Spiritual Energy into him. Only when she saw a hint of crimson return to his previously purple lips did she stop.

"Commander!" Gui Yongjun cried out in alarm upon seeing Shangguan Hao collapse and lunged towards him. The soldiers, momentarily silent, descended into madness once more at the sight of Shangguan Hao’s fall. The troops that had just calmed down were now plunged into chaos again.

"Damn it, you dared to point your guns at the Commander! I’ll kill you!"

"We will avenge the Commander!" All the spirited soldiers erupted. Even those who had just been trying to mediate or had not fought at all now surged forward, rushing towards Shangguan Hao.

"All of you, stop! Anyone who dares to fight again will be dealt with by military law!" Liu Dabao roared, his voice exceptionally loud. However, few of the usually obedient men were willing to listen to him now, and the entire unit once again descended into a chaotic mess.
