Chapter 782: Chapter 782: Certainly Not Let Down (4)

"Senior sister? Are you okay?" After a moment, Huang Yiyi deliberately called out again.

"I’m fine." The voice on the other end of the phone had calmed down but was now tinged with a touch of ruthlessness in its already cold tone, "I’ll be back next month, don’t tell master yet."

The sound of the call disconnecting came through the phone, and Huang Yiyi sneered with a look of schadenfreude on her face.

Next month, huh? Heh, Xuandu City is going to be interesting!

At this time, Huang Yiyi had no idea that her phone call, meant to sow discord, had actually hastened the life-and-death struggle between the Xuandu Five Great Families. It also brought a violent storm of blood and violence to not only Xuandu City but also to Xuanjin!

In the following days, through the investigations of the Thirteen Blood Generals, An Yiqing gained a preliminary understanding of Huang Xing and Huang Yiyi’s lives over the past few decades and officially listed the father and daughter as key surveillance targets.

An Yiqing had a premonition that this father-daughter duo, Huang Xing and Huang Yiyi, was a crucial clue; as long as they kept a close watch on these two, perhaps the enemies of the Medicine Sect would surface!

While An Yiqing had people keeping an eye on Huang Xing and Huang Yiyi, she was also busy with other things.

An Zisheng had already contacted many retired veterans and, along with An Yiqing, had officially met with them, discussing in detail their plans and compensation for the security company, which left the veterans beaming with joy and gratitude.

Years of tough military life made it difficult for these Soldier Kings to adapt to the civilian world, so their lives post-discharge had not been particularly smooth. However, today, the granddaughter of their old commander had reached out to offer them help, not as charity, but as an opportunity to make a living.

Just for this reason alone, these veterans held An Yiqing in high regard.

While An Yiqing was taking care of the veterans, the plans of the Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers to recruit and buy horses were also progressing in an orderly manner.

Following An Yiqing’s instructions, the Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers, a total of eighteen people, were to act as team leaders, recruiting a team of ten people each. These recruits were to be scouted from orphanages all over Xuanjin, all not too old, between eighteen and twenty-two years of age.

This seemingly simple task gave the Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers quite a headache. An Zhiyu, who was best at computer tracking, obtained a comprehensive list of orphanage information from the internet. The eighteen people selected one by one, then identified ideal targets for on-site inspection to check the character of the prospective recruits.

Of course, that wasn’t all; they also tried every means to win over these orphans, to make them believe while also giving them a sense of belonging.

After a grueling month of hard work, the Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers finally returned from all directions of Xuanjin, gathering their respective teams back in the mansion!

When An Yiqing once again visited the Thirteen Blood Generals Mansion, she saw the full one hundred and eighty people in the basement!

The Thirteen Blood Generals and the Feng Family Five Brothers, a total of eighteen people, each leading a team of ten, along with themselves, amounted to one hundred and ninety-eight people!

Looking at these boys, full of confusion and at a loss, An Yiqing smiled slightly, nodding with satisfaction. In these hundred-plus people, she saw the same look that the Thirteen Blood Generals had when she first met them. They were all so naive, all so pure.

And it was this purity and dedication that she wanted.

It seemed that all her eighteen subordinates understood her intentions and had found the talents she was looking for.

"Very good! Ah Feng, Xiao Feng, Tianci, you’ve done very well!" An Yiqing’s gaze fell on An Zhifeng, Zhang Yufeng, and Feng Tianci, nodding with satisfaction.

"Members of each team, nice to meet you all, let me briefly introduce myself." An Yiqing’s sharp and indifferent gaze swept over the one hundred and eighty people, her voice firm and powerful, "My name is An Yiqing, and I am the leader of this team. From the moment you chose to follow your team leader, my orders are your everything!"

"My demands are simple, eight words: Loyalty, Passion, Striving, Unity! I don’t care about your background, your talents, or your past, but from today on, you must consider this place your home, your team leaders your family! And you, the one hundred and eighty of you, must fight to protect your family! Do you understand?!"

"Yes! We understand!" The response from the one hundred and eighty people was deafening!

"Good!" An Yiqing nodded with satisfaction. Standing in front of one hundred and eighty tall, formidable men, she did not appear weak in the slightest; her slender shoulders seemed to carry the weight of ten thousand jin, and the authoritative air that she exuded made everyone admire her.

"Following me, I can’t guarantee that everyone will survive every danger, but I can assure you that every time danger strikes, I will stand in front of you! So, I hope you can give me your whole heart. An Yiqing, I shall not let you down!"

As she spoke these last few words gently yet resolutely, An Zhifeng and his twelve brothers could not help but get teary-eyed.

These imposing, battle-hardened men remembered that time with Xiao Shulan in the blazing factory. Fighting courageously against foes, with gas tanks on the verge of exploding, An Yiqing used her slender arms to one by one save these tall, stout men from the flames, only to not make it out in time herself and become engulfed in the raging fire.

They remembered the despair they felt then, something An Zhifeng and the others never wanted to experience again. If it weren’t for Gu Yelin arriving just in time, they didn’t know if they would ever see their beacon of faith again in their lifetime.

This casually spoken "I shall not let you down," this delicate and beautiful woman had kept her word; she indeed stood before them in times of danger every time.
