In Nan Cheng's Nan Xiang Street, there was a small path leading to a village named Nan Cheng Village. Inside, there was a logistics warehouse, formerly operated by Meng Hu's logistics company. However, after the company went bankrupt, the warehouse was abandoned.
Wan Yun Ting slowly drove into the path, preparing to enter Nan Cheng Village. However, he saw Mei Ying and Tian Lang at the entrance and stopped the car to wave at them. The two then walked over and opened the car door to get in. Wan Yun Ting turned his head and smiled, "You're quite quick."
Tian Lang asked, "How is the matter of our identification cards coming along?"
Wan Yun Ting continued driving into the village and replied, "They refused to issue identification cards!"
Tian Lang and Mei Ying's eyebrows immediately shot up, their faces showing disappointment. They called out, "Stop the car."
Wan Yun Ting smiled, "What's the hurry? I haven't finished speaking."
Tian Lang and Mei Ying paused, their gazes fixed on him. Wan Yun Ting knew they couldn't handle jokes and decided to stop teasing them. "Although identification cards couldn't be issued, temporary residence permits were arranged for you!"
"Temporary residence permits?"
Tian Lang and Mei Ying's eyes lit up, and they became excited. They asked, "How many years can they be issued for?"
"These are generally for three to five years, and you can renew them when they expire."
Wan Yun Ting had already spotted the warehouse ahead, where Meng Hu and Di She, along with a group of subordinates, were waiting at the entrance.
"Of course, I will try to apply for Huaxia identification cards for you."
Wan Yun Ting glanced at the expressions of Tian Lang and Mei Ying in the rearview mirror and smiled, "Whether the application is approved depends on your performance!"
This statement caused Tian Lang and Mei Ying to exchange glances, and they understood Wan Yun Ting's meaning.
In fact, Pang Yuan was willing to arrange temporary residence permits for them because Tian Lang and Mei Ying had assisted Wan Yun Ting in handling cases in places like the Golden Triangle and Vietnam. Especially in Singapore, they had secretly investigated Gao Zhe and cooperated with the arrest operation. Therefore, Pang Yuan, disregarding their special status as assassins, allowed them to temporarily stay in Huadu City, Huaxia.
Of course, the most important person was Wan Yun Ting!
Pang Yuan knew that Wan Yun Ting could control these two dangerous assassins, Tian Lang and Mei Ying. As long as they didn't commit any criminal acts in Huadu City, Pang Yuan could turn a blind eye.
At the same time, Wan Yun Ting did not conceal his intentions from Pang Yuan; he wanted to keep Tian Lang and Mei Ying to help him train a force!
Pang Yuan understood that although Wan Yun Ting was not part of the police force, he had no doubts that Wan Yun Ting would not do anything illegal by training a force.
On the contrary, Pang Yuan also wanted to rely on his abilities to assist the police in managing or suppressing the illegal forces in Huadu City's underworld!
After all, sometimes, dark forces were needed to handle matters that could not be dealt with through legitimate means, as long as this balance was maintained.
And this point of balance was Wan Yun Ting!
Tian Lang and Mei Ying also understood that Wan Yun Ting wanted them to stay in Huaxia and work for him. When they chose to come to Huaxia, they had already considered this. Therefore, they were very clear about what Wan Yun Ting wanted.
"Boss Wan…"
Meng Hu, Di She, and the others went forward to greet Wan Yun Ting's car as it slowly stopped. They personally opened the car doors and respectfully welcomed him out. Mei Ying and Tian Lang also got out and observed Meng Hu and the others. However, they had met before in the Golden Triangle, and Meng Hu recognized them. He asked in surprise, "Boss Wan, aren't these...?"
"Mm, let's go inside first."
Wan Yun Ting didn't say much. Meng Hu and Di She nodded, immediately signaling their subordinates to open the warehouse doors. Wan Yun Ting, along with Tian Lang and Mei Ying, walked in. They looked at the vast warehouse, where miscellaneous items were piled in the corners, but the space was immense, roughly the size of two basketball courts. Simultaneously, about a hundred people were gathered neatly inside.
"Hail Boss Wan," Meng Hu shouted as he entered, addressing the hundred people.
"Boss Wan…"
Then, the hundred people shouted in unison.
Seeing that these people had good spirits, Meng Hu said, "Boss Wan, these fellows are the core members that Di She and I have carefully selected. They are all between 20 and 25 years old, and they are the ones with the best physical condition."
"Oh."
Wan Yun Ting stepped forward and examined the youths standing ramrod straight in the front row. With a kick, the unfortunate individual was sent flying, crashing into a bunch of people behind him. The unlucky fellow clutched his chest, coughing violently…
"Is this what you call good physical condition?"
Wan Yun Ting turned to Meng Hu with a cold glare, causing him and Di She to lower their heads in embarrassment, unsure of what to say.
"All of you, stand at attention!"
Wan Yun Ting turned back and roared at the group. In the enclosed warehouse, his voice boomed like thunder, striking every ear and piercing their hearts. It was like a heavy hammer striking the hundred-plus youths, causing them to quickly and nervously stand at attention. The unlucky fellow who had just been kicked also stood up, enduring the dull pain in his chest.
"Listen up, I've hired two coaches for you!"
Wan Yun Ting, with his hands behind his back, exuded an overbearing aura. He glared at the group, his voice firm and powerful, "For the next period, you will endure physical torment and mental anguish. So, if any of you wish to quit now, there is still time!"
The hundred people exchanged glances, looking at each other, but no one spoke.
"It seems no one wants to quit."
Wan Yun Ting was quite satisfied and said, "Of course, if you truly cannot bear it during training, you can also quit. But you must think carefully, once you quit, it means you've quit the organization!"
These words caused the hundred people to start discussing amongst themselves. Meng Hu stepped forward and roared, "Quiet, all of you!"
Immediately, the hundred people fell silent. Wan Yun Ting continued, "Of course, if your training meets the standard, you will become core members of the organization and can enjoy the organization's benefits. I don't need to explain this clearly, understand?"
Upon hearing that they could enjoy the benefits of being core members of the organization, the hundred people became excited and shouted loudly, "Understood."
Wan Yun Ting nodded and turned to Tian Lang, saying, "Tie Niu, you will be solely responsible for training them. Train them just like you were trained in the past, understand?"
Tian Lang nodded and said, "I need a training ground!"
"Certainly."
Wan Yun Ting turned to Meng Hu and said, "Give him whatever he needs. Also, arrange accommodation for them, the best available."
"Understood, Boss Wan." Meng Hu nodded.
"As for them…"
Wan Yun Ting glanced at the hundred people behind him and sternly said to Meng Hu, "Do as I say. If any of them quit midway, they will be permanently expelled from the organization. Also, starting today, they can enjoy some benefits!"
Meng Hu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss Wan, I know what to do."
"Very good, then you make the arrangements."
Wan Yun Ting watched Tian Lang and Meng Hu as they discussed how to transform the warehouse into a training ground and how to train the hundred people…
These hundred people were carefully selected by Meng Hu and Di She. If they were successfully trained, they would become core members of the organization in the future.
Meng Hu and Di She had a good understanding of each person's identity and family background. Only those who met the standards would be chosen for training.
"Cui Hua, this is the person you will be protecting for the next month!"
Then, Wan Yun Ting sent a photo and information of Gu Luo Tang to Mei Ying via WeChat and said seriously, "Remember, protect her safety."
Mei Ying nodded in understanding. Wan Yun Ting didn't say anything further; the matter was left to Meng Hu and Tian Lang.
As for when these hundred people would be trained to meet the standards of qualified killers, Wan Yun Ting did not concern himself with it for the time being.
After all, it was impossible to train an ordinary person to the level of a professional killer in just a year or two.
Of course, Wan Yun Ting did not expect Tian Lang to train these people to his level of top-tier killer; it would be enough if they could reach the level of ordinary killers.
When he returned home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
"Old Wan is back. Where did you go?"
At this moment, Jin Xiu Wen, He Cheng Ping, and Xue Jian Chao, who had arrived earlier, were sitting on lounge chairs in the backyard, drinking tea and chatting. Fang Yan Xi and Zhou Xiao Min were in the kitchen, helping Huang Gui Lan prepare dinner.
As for Xu Ling Wei and her junior, Li Zi Hang, they had been watching an idol drama in the living room on the first floor. Upon seeing Wan Yun Ting enter, they asked, "Junior Wan, have you booked your plane tickets yet?"
"Yes, booked. The flight is tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock."
Wan Yun Ting had booked a direct flight, but there was only one available at three in the afternoon.
"Mr. Wan…"
Wan Yun Ting went into the kitchen and saw Zhou Xiao Min there. He smiled and asked, "Did Boss Jin bring you?"
"Mhm, mhm."
Zhou Xiao Min nodded shyly.
"Mr. Wan, the dishes will be ready soon," Huang Gui Lan said busily.
"It's alright, Auntie. Take your time preparing, it's fine if we eat later," Wan Yun Ting said with a smile. Then he went to look at Fang Yan Xi, who was standing by the stove wearing an apron and stir-frying. He smiled and asked, "When did you learn to cook?"
Fang Yan Xi, who was stir-frying broccoli with chicken, didn't bother to turn around. "I learned from my mother."
"Mm, it looks quite good. I'll taste it later."
Wan Yun Ting stood behind her, resting his chin on Fang Yan Xi's left shoulder, and smiled as he watched the food in the wok.
"Tsk, move away, don't disturb me."
Clearly, Fang Yan Xi, who was cooking for the first time, was a little nervous and didn't want the man to distract her focus.
"Alright, you guys cook, I'll go find Old Jin and the others in the back…"
Having been dismissed by the woman, Wan Yun Ting had no choice but to leave the kitchen and go to the backyard lawn. He saw Jin Xiu Wen and Xue Jian Chao chatting with He Cheng Ping over tea.
There were also two unfamiliar women, which surprised Wan Yun Ting. Jin Xiu Wen waved at him, "Why are you only back now? Hurry up…"
