Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 247 - 246: Before the Judgement Begins

At this moment, the bodyguard had successfully infiltrated the study floor of the Yang Family Master, but unexpectedly, he encountered a ’fellow traveler’.

Coincidentally, both of them were wearing the servant uniforms of Yang Mansion, and they exchanged glances before silently averting their eyes.

"I’m here to clean."

"Me too."

...

Both of them instantly fell silent, clearly aware that the other was lying.

The bodyguard had already guessed that this person was the one Yun Ran had mentioned before, the one watching them.

And the other party clearly knew that the bodyguard was the insider Yun Ran had arranged to place in Yang Mansion.

Both were aware of each other’s true identities, yet both remained taciturn.

At this time, no one wanted to reveal their identity, otherwise, it would be difficult to end things smoothly.

Especially now, as both were targeting the study of the Yang Family Master.

From Yun Ran’s side, the hope was for the bodyguard to find something useful that could later be used to threaten the aristocratic families of Capital City, to keep them from reaching too far.

On the Wang Family’s side, their plan was to firmly grasp the reins over certain aristocratic families of Capital City.

Although they were one of the Four Great Families, they didn’t have total control, and having more supporters was, of course, better.

Both had the same goal and neither was willing to back down, leading to a standoff between the two.

As time passed by the second, neither could maintain the confrontation calmly.

The bodyguard was already calculating in his heart how long it would take to subdue the other party.

Suddenly, the bodyguard recalled that Yun Ran had stopped him earlier and given him a small pill—had she predicted he would encounter this person?

At this moment, he had absolute trust in Yun Ran, and his hand immediately went to his waist, eager to swiftly subdue the opponent!

The person opposite was not stupid either. Seeing the bodyguard’s movement, he quickly assessed his chances of winning or losing in his mind.

But the thought of the Xuan Sect experts behind the other party made him retreat two steps immediately.

"Since you’ve cleaned up here in the study, I’ll go clean downstairs."

Bodyguard: ...

If he had known earlier, he would have intimidated the other party sooner, not to waste this bit of time.

Watching the person leave, the bodyguard then approached the room next to the study and, after successfully entering, began to climb through the window into the study.

By the time the ambulance arrived, the people from the dungeon had escorted the Yang Family Master and the steward to the surface, and the bodyguard had already successfully infiltrated the study.

The younger generation of the She Family glanced at the iron chains on Yun Ran.

Annoyed, they demanded keys from the other people of Yang Mansion: "Hurry up and bring the keys over, don’t you have any sense?"

After being scolded, the people exchanged glances, shivering with fear, none of them knowing where the keys were, worried they might get beaten.

This scene immediately irritated the followers of the She Family; Yang Family was indeed corrupt beyond repair.

"Go find some tools then!"

Yun Ran waved her hand nonchalantly: "Fine, fine, don’t be so anxious. These chains are specially made, and not just any tool can open them."

She had already studied the chains closely before, the quality was indeed good.

At the very least, without using any Xuan Sect power, she couldn’t tear them apart by hand.

The person bound by the chains, if they didn’t want to suffer, had to wait for the keys to unlock them.

The She Family People, seeing Yun Ran’s calm demeanor, didn’t know what to say.

The She Family member at the forefront tentatively inquired: "So what do we do now?"

Yun Ran glanced at the other end of the chain: "Of course, we dig it from its root. Demolish the wall. I might as well show everyone this design, to avoid being accused of being too ruthless."

From the beginning, Yun Ran never intended to open the chains. She wanted everything in this dungeon to be exposed as it was.

This was not just her personal grudge; she wanted those who could not speak for themselves to also be able to tell their suffering.

Upon hearing this, the She Family People instantly understood Yun Ran’s intention.

If Yun Ran had been one of them, maybe they would have advised her to smooth things over since the Yang Family Master had already been incapacitated by her.

In every great aristocratic family, there were rules of conduct, that is, matters that could be negotiated privately were never to be blown out of proportion.

However, before coming, they had been instructed not to ask questions or make decisions for Yun Ran.

Now, all they needed to do was blindly follow Yun Ran’s wishes, which was surprisingly easy and satisfying.

Soon, someone came with demolition tools, and the other end of the chain was detached. With every step Yun Ran took, the chains clanked loudly.

The weight of the chain, along with the part that was removed, already surpassed the weight of an adult male.

But Yun Ran, capable of bearing the weight, was unaffected and even refused help.

The She Family members began murmuring softly: "This young lady of the Yun Family is so impressive, why haven’t we heard of her before?"

"You’re asking me? Who should I ask? If it wasn’t for uncle’s orders to come here, I wouldn’t even know there was such a person in our circle."

"Don’t guess anymore. The fact that uncle instructed us to come and follow her orders is enough to show that this Miss Yun of the Yun Family is definitely no ordinary person."

"I think the skies over Hai City are about to be pierced through; with the Yang Family down, there’re enough resources to sustain quite a few families."

...

No wonder they were apprehensive; it hadn’t been long since the wealthiest Jing Family was taken down, and to this day, the Jing Family’s resources had not yet been completely divided.

Now with the Yang Family, these resources were something other families couldn’t earn even after years of effort.

Yun Ran returned to the surface and, breathing the fresh air, immediately felt a sense of relief.

Dawn was breaking, and thinking about the upcoming ’judgement’, Yun Ran felt she needed a good rest.

"You all go about your business, I need to get more sleep, call me if there’s anything."

Yun Ran didn’t consider herself an outsider; Yang Mansion had already become her possession.

Plus, since the bodyguard had already told her the layout of Yang Mansion, Yun Ran found an unoccupied guest room that was cleaned and refreshed daily quite easily.

She closed the door and fell asleep on the bed.

The bodyguard, watching the sky outside, quickened his pace.

Although he only found some documents, which were not core materials, he had to leave before it was fully light.

It was uncertain whether it was Yun Ran’s actions that were shocking enough, but by the time it was fully light, quite a few people arrived at Yang Mansion.

Before the ’judgement’ started, no one dared to wake Yun Ran.
