Twelve people walked in one after another, then stupidly stood there, frozen.
In front of them was a vast expanse of area. It wasn’t quite right to describe it as a room. This area must have been the size of two football fields, and scattered on the spacious ground were numerous training apparatuses. Right next to these special pieces of training equipment was a dedicated shooting range. And within the shooting range, there were a few metal boxes, the contents of which they all knew too well.
Immediately after, in the northeast corner of the grounds, was a sealed space. This place was an operations room, equipped with the most advanced technological devices of the moment. And in another room right next to the operations room, there was nothing at all, just a few bare tables laid out. This was for everyone to use for their own research or hobbies.
An Zhifeng and several others traversed the entire large area, marveling at the setup and layout.
This was a training ground! A hidden training facility built beneath the manor!
Just as everyone thought they had seen all there was to see, Yiqing gave a mysterious smile and pushed against the north wall, revealing a hidden door in front of everybody!
An Zhifeng and the others quickly followed her through the door, then couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
This place was actually a dormitory!
What caught their eye upon entering was a long corridor, with many rooms on both sides. In each room, there were two single beds, along with all sorts of living facilities, washrooms, and study rooms – everything was complete in its compactness. Even An Zhifeng and his companions felt like giving up the mansion to move here.
"Miss, is this..." Everyone had a vague idea in their hearts, guessing at Yiqing’s thoughts.
Sure enough, Yiqing spoke and resolved the doubts in everyone’s mind.
"This will serve as the living quarters for the team members. Since I aim to create a force, naturally, I can’t rely on just a few of you. Although everyone is capable, outnumbered hands can’t fight off a multitude, and there will always be dangerous times. In a few days, I will recruit some people, and it will be up to you to train them. In the future, they will be your soldiers, and their fates will be in your hands, understand?"
Yiqing’s words made everyone’s expression serious, and they immediately stood up straight, shouting at the top of their voices, "Yes! Mission will be completed!"
After leaving the mansion, Yiqing took a taxi back to her home. As soon as she got out of the cab, standing at the gate of the villa’s courtyard, she heard sharp arguments coming from inside from afar.
Yiqing furrowed her brows slightly; such disputes were never a part of the harmonious and warm An Family. Who was the unwary one causing such a commotion here?
She hurried into the courtyard and took a close look, only to discover an unexpected person!
"Get Yiqing out here to see me! Where has she hidden Qin Fang and Qin Jia! Yiqing, I tell you! Don’t think you can hide from me! Give me back my son and daughter, or else I’ll never let you off the hook!"
The person standing with hands on hips, face flushed red, pointing a finger toward the second floor and cursing, was none other than Shulan!
Yiqing watched the ranting woman with cold eyes. Today, the men of the house were not at home; only Old Lady An, Kong Shi, and the maid Aunt Li were there, along with the animals Xiao Hei and Old Jin.
Shulan had arrived half an hour ago, and the furious posture she took made it clear she was not someone to be trifled with. Therefore, Old Lady An and Kong Shi prudently did not open the villa’s door.
