Yu Han and the others stayed in Linjiang for only two days before returning once again to the capital, as there were still many matters awaiting their attention back in the city.
The development of Hualong Enterprise exceeded even Xiao Yufan’s expectations. One reason was the lack of interference from local forces in Linjiang, but more importantly, it was due to the strong leadership of people like Lin Pingle and Yu Han.
Inside the underground base of Anmen in Linjiang, the lighting was dim, casting a solemn and serious atmosphere over the entire room. Among the people present, aside from the familiar faces of Tianzu, there were also many new and unfamiliar faces.
“Master…”
As Xiao Yufan entered, Tianyi immediately stepped forward to greet him. After spending so much time together, he had come to deeply admire and respect this man. Back in Tianzu, he had endured unimaginable torment, suffering no less than what they had experienced over the past decade.
“Give me an introduction. I haven’t met these brothers before…”
Smiling slightly, Xiao Yufan nodded and shifted his gaze toward those unfamiliar figures, his lips curling into a faint grin. Just from his instincts, he could sense that these individuals possessed formidable strength. It seemed Tianyi’s network was indeed extensive.
“This brother is Wang Wei, a former member of the Golden Eagle Special Forces, and also a close comrade-in-arms of mine. He’s extremely skilled in hacking, and the others behind him have all followed him for years…”
Tianyi pointed toward the man in front and began explaining. It was clear that their relationship was close. Xiao Yufan noticed a prominent scar on his neck, a mark that spoke of a life lived on the edge of death.
“Master…”
After Tianyi’s introduction, Wang Wei and the others behind him shouted in unison. Although they were surprised by Xiao Yufan’s youth, having come from the Golden Eagle Special Forces, they well understood Tianzu’s strength. A man capable of commanding Tianzu could never be ordinary.
“From now on, we are all brothers. There’s no need for such formalities. I think you already know why Tianyi has called you here. I’m building an underground empire, one very different from your life in the Special Forces…”
Though satisfied with their demeanor, Xiao Yufan still wanted to test their resolve. After all, this was a life of danger and bloodshed. He needed to be certain that these men were truly ready.
“During our retirements, we had nothing to do. Our passion and dedication need an outlet. Anmen is our current choice, and will remain our future one!”
Wang Wei’s expression was firm, and behind that firmness lay a quiet determination. They needed a larger stage to prove themselves, and clearly, Anmen was their ideal home.
“Good.” Xiao Yufan was deeply impressed by Wang Wei’s words. Although it was their first meeting, he already held a strong impression of the man. He trusted Tianyi’s judgment completely—this man would surely become a pillar of Anmen.
“Currently, Anmen has four divisions. The members of Tianzu and some elites form the core of the Tiger Division, which serves as the main fighting force and vanguard of our operations. The Shadow Division, Dark Division, and Assassin Division are still in development. Since Tianyi has recommended you so highly, I will entrust you with the leadership of the Shadow Division.”
After a brief pause, Xiao Yufan continued. His words surprised even Tianyi, who hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to hand over the crucial Shadow Division to this man after only their first meeting.
Wang Wei was first taken aback, but then a hint of joy appeared on his face. He had heard from Tianyi about the importance of the Shadow Division. Xiao Yufan’s trust deeply moved him.
As the saying goes, if you use someone, do not doubt them; if you doubt someone, do not use them. Xiao Yufan’s decision was a calculated move to win their loyalty. He had his own way of managing people and believed this gesture would only deepen their respect—for both himself and Anmen.
