Chapter 633:
After two uneventful days, news of a highly significant document began to ripple through Staville’s government departments.
At a table in a restaurant, someone suddenly brought up the matter.
“Hey, have you heard the latest news? I heard that even the big shots from Tacland are paying close attention to the new industrial park our city is planning to build.” A middle-aged woman was eager to share more of what she’d heard. She adjusted her thick glasses, leaned in, and said, “Yes, I’ve heard about it, too. Today, I saw a document saying a high-ranking official from Tacland was sent here to inspect the project. I also got some inside information that this official is a descendant of a prominent family in Tacland. All officials in Staville must take this matter seriously and make sure this high-ranking official doesn’t encounter any mishaps. If something happens to him, the current power structure in Staville will surely be reshuffled, which will challenge the status quo.”
Everyone at the table was startled by the woman’s words. “Hey, you shouldn’t spread any word about it. The document specifically mentioned that the information must be confidential. Leaking it could get you into serious trouble.”
The middle-aged woman was suddenly reminded of this. She quickly lowered her head, took a few bites of her food, and left.
At this time, Ashton was in the same restaurant, enjoying his meal leisurely while listening to similar conversations. He took a sip of his drink, savoring the taste and the subtle tension in the room, feeling quite satisfied.
His smirk deepened as he thought about the document he had carefully crafted. He had even revealed his own identity, knowing it was the bait Fraser couldn’t resist.
And to create a tense atmosphere, Ashton issued a special order that no one should disclose this matter. Otherwise, they would face severe consequences.
But he knew some people couldn’t control their mouths. He had overheard conversations about this matter several times during lunchtime.

And this was exactly what he wanted to happen.
To make this matter even more convincing, Ashton wasted no time drafting notifications and sending them to the key high-ranking officials involved after his meal. The high-ranking officials in Staville showed their full cooperation by immediately holding several internal meetings. They first acknowledged the authenticity of the…
document was acknowledged, and the importance and confidentiality of the matter were repeatedly emphasized.
They even required all involved personnel to sign a confidentiality agreement.
This tense situation was unprecedented, even for many employees with decades of experience, causing quite a few to grumble about the so-called inspection.
But of course, they could only complain to each other. At the end of the day, the instructions from the higher-ups had to be followed.
As the days passed, the heightened security in Staville became more and more apparent. Soon, many citizens began to notice it. The usually calm streets now buzzed with an air of tension as police cars patrolled frequently, and security checkpoints were set up everywhere.
