Everyone was in high spirits after the video and chatter filled the hall.

In no time at all, the birthday cake was brought forward. Nan Zhengde was not as young as he used to be and was unable to stay up too late. Hence, instead of waiting until twelve midnight to cut the cake, they decided to move the time forward.

“Great-Grandpa, I still haven’t given you my present yet!” Dabao suddenly exclaimed as he rushed over to stand before Nan Zhengde.

“Really? My darling has something for me as well? You’re already the best present I can get!” the old man replied with a chuckle.

The little boy’s face was serious as he said, “My present is really special! Make sure to get a good look, Great-Grandpa.”

“Okay. I’ll love it no matter what you give me!” Nan Zhengde was in a wonderful mood.

“Alright. Then prepare yourself, Great-Grandpa!”

With that said, Dabao headed for a nearby table where a laptop was resting.

His fingers flew across the keys rapidly before he told Nan Zhengde, “Great-Grandpa, count to three and look over there.”

Although confused, Nan Zhengde did as instructed. “One, two, three...”

The word “three” had barely left his lips when the guests cried out in shock.

The reason for their outburst? All the lights in the direction Dabao had asked Nan Zhengde to look in had been turned off.

The view out the windows was amazing, showing the busiest part of Flower City. This part of the city was perpetually lit up by neon lights and was always bustling no matter the time of day.

But at that moment, everything was plunged into darkness. Not a single speck of light could be seen.

“What’s happening? Did that kid just cut off the electricity for that part of the city?”

“Oh my, how did he do that?”

Just then, light burst into life among the sea of darkness. However, it was only limited to the massive screens on the sides of the buildings. Since this was the most prosperous area of the city, nearly every single one of the high-rise buildings had large screens built into their sides.

Currently, all the screens were lit up brightly but the usual advertisements were nowhere to be seen.

Instead, every single one of the screens showed the same content: Sirui and Sihan wish Great-Grandpa a happy birthday!

Against the dark backdrop of the night, the words were glaringly obvious.
