Chapter 131 The Selection of Escorts Causes Waves
The selection of bodyguards is in turmoil
The escort selection plan drafted by Su Yunlan was quickly posted on the escort agency's bulletin board.
The assessment criteria are clear and concise, with detailed regulations covering everything from strength, speed, and endurance to practical experience and even conduct.
Some veteran bodyguards looked at the densely packed clauses and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling that the standards were far too harsh.
With a gloomy face, Chief Escort Wang wrote down every single word of the assessment content.
As night fell, he sneaked out of the escort agency and arrived at a dilapidated courtyard on the outskirts of the city.
Under the dim light of an oil lamp, several burly bodyguards sat together, each with an anxious expression.
"This is the assessment content for tomorrow," Chief Escort Wang said mysteriously, pulling out a piece of paper. "Memorize it all. Tomorrow, I'm going to make Su Yunlan lose face!"
He smiled sinisterly, and the crowd followed with low chuckles. The atmosphere in the dilapidated courtyard was eerie and unsettling.
On the day of the assessment, the martial arts training ground of the escort agency was packed with people.
Su Yunlan, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, stared intently at the bodyguards on the field.
As soon as the assessment began, some bodyguards pretended not to know the rules and disrupted the order.
Some people deliberately made loud noises, while others pretended to be injured and groaned incessantly.
"Silence!" Xiao Yuhan shouted, his deep voice booming like thunder across the training ground, instantly silencing the chaotic scene.
However, this is just the calm before the storm.
With a gloomy face, Li Wushi walked to the front of the assessment team. He glanced contemptuously at the instructor in charge of the assessment and sneered, "You think you're qualified to assess me?"
After saying that, he suddenly threw a punch, which hit the coach squarely in the chest.
The coach grunted, staggered back a few steps, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Good!" Chief镖头 Wang shouted in approval from the side, and the other镖师 joined in the jeering, causing the scene to spiral out of control once again.
Su Yunlan's face was ashen. She clenched her fists tightly and her gaze swept over the restless crowd like a blade.
Just then, Chief Escort Wang walked up to her and said with a forced smile, "Madam Su, it seems your new rules are having some difficulty being implemented..."
Before he could finish speaking, a scream rang out from the crowd...
Su Yunlan's expression remained unchanged, and a cold smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he had expected this change to happen.
She pulled a signal arrow from her sleeve and pulled it back forcefully.
A sharp whistle pierced the air and soared into the sky.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she was up to.
Almost simultaneously, a series of orderly hoofbeats came from outside the security agency's gate, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a troop of cavalrymen dressed in black, holding long swords, galloping towards them and quickly surrounding the training ground.
Sunlight shone on the sharp blade, reflecting a blinding light that inspired fear.
The cavalry leader dismounted, walked up to Su Yunlan, clasped his hands in salute, and said, "Madam, I have come to await your orders!" His voice was loud and clear, resounding and awe-inspiring.
This sudden turn of events caused Wang Biaotou and the others to change their expressions drastically.
They never expected that Su Yunlan had such a backup plan.
The bodyguards who had been shouting earlier were now silent and trembling, not daring to utter a sound.
Upon seeing this, Young Master Xiao Sixteen's spirits lifted, and he shouted loudly, "All the bodyguards who support the new regulations, come over here!" As soon as he finished speaking, many bodyguards stepped out from the crowd and stood behind him.
Although these people were not as arrogant and domineering as Master Li, they were still the elite forces of the escort agency.
Under the leadership of the cavalry and Young Master Xiao, the chaotic scene was gradually brought under control.
Su Yunlan looked around, her gaze sharp as a hawk's. Everyone who met her eyes subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.
Xiao Yuhan stood beside Su Yunlan the whole time, his deep gaze fixed on her, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Su Yunlan noticed his gaze, gently patted the back of his hand, and gave him a reassuring look.
This subtle gesture calmed Xiao Yuhan's mind.
Su Yunlan then turned to Chief Escort Wang, her tone icy: "Chief Escort Wang, now, what do you have to say?"
Wang, the镖头 (bodyguard), was deathly pale, his lips trembling, yet he couldn't utter a single word.
He knew that he was completely finished this time.
He originally thought Su Yunlan was just a weak woman who could be easily manipulated by him, but he never expected her to be so cunning.
Su Yunlan ignored Wang Biaotou and turned to Li Wushi, her tone still icy: "As for you..." She paused, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "You offended the assessment instructor. According to the rules, what should be the punishment?"
Li Wushi's face turned ashen.
Su Yunlan turned to look at the leading cavalryman, "Take down all the troublemakers!"
"Yes!" The cavalryman accepted the order and quickly stepped forward to subdue Li Wushi and several of the most vocal bodyguards.
The training ground was completely silent. Everyone was stunned by Su Yunlan's swift and decisive actions.
Su Yunlan looked at the subdued crowd, a cold smile playing on her lips. "I, Su Yunlan, am not a pushover." She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Anyone else who dares to challenge me?"
The arrival of the cavalry intimidated everyone at the escort agency, and the assessment continued, but this time, no one dared to cause trouble.
The assessment criteria were strictly enforced, and those who lacked strength, speed, practical experience, or even moral character were all eliminated.
On the training ground, some people were dejected, some gritted their teeth and persevered, and some were glad that they had passed the test.
Sweat, tears, and even blood intertwine to create a cruel picture of survival.
After the assessment, less than half of the original number of bodyguards remained.
The remaining bodyguards no longer had the previous laziness and indolence in their eyes; instead, they had gained more determination and hope.
They witnessed Su Yunlan's iron-fisted methods and saw the determination of the escort agency to reorganize. They understood that only by following Su Yunlan could the escort agency have a future.
As the sun sets, the remaining bodyguards on the training ground encourage each other and train hard, sweating profusely. A vibrant and positive atmosphere permeates the bodyguard agency.
Su Yunlan stood at a distance, watching this scene, a slight smile playing on her lips, a sense of relief welling up in her heart.
However, in the shadows, Chief Escort Wang and Martial Arts Master Li were watching all of this with gritted teeth.
Their plan failed, they lost face, and their resentment grew like wildfire.
"Damn Su Yunlan, how dare he embarrass us!" Chief镖头 Wang slammed his fist on the table, which groaned in pain.
"This woman is truly remarkable," Li Wushi said, his face grim and his eyes flashing with malice. "However, her smugness won't last long..."
"Oh? What's your plan?" asked Wang Biaotou.
Li Wushi leaned close to Wang Biaotou's ear and whispered a few words.
Wang Biaotou's expression gradually turned sinister. The two exchanged a smile, which sounded particularly cold in the dimly lit room.
In the following days, the escort agency's training proceeded normally, and it seemed that the previous turmoil had subsided.
Su Yunlan secretly observed the guards' training, but a sense of unease lingered in her heart, as if something was about to happen.
She increased the patrols of the escort agency and secretly arranged for people to monitor Chief Escort Wang and Martial Arts Master Li, but she never found anything unusual.
That day, Su Yunlan was checking the accounts of the escort agency when she suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation. She abruptly raised her head and looked out the window.
Outside the window, the sun shone brightly, birds sang, and flowers bloomed; everything seemed peaceful, but the unease in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
"Madam, these are the recent escort orders. Please take a look." Xiao Yuhan placed a stack of papers in front of Su Yunlan and asked with concern, "Madam, you don't look well. Is something wrong?"
Su Yunlan shook her head. "I'm fine, it's just..." She paused, gazing into the distance, "I have a feeling that something is about to happen..."
