Chapter 4097: Boss, Someone’s Watching You

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Helpless, Lin Yi stepped forward, said a few perfunctory words, and then retreated to the side to avoid interfering with their training.

But the people below began whispering, their eyes shining.

They were aware of what it meant to train at the Central Guards Brigade.

Everyone knew that Group One of the Central Guards Brigade was the Merit Group, and before coming, everyone wanted to join Group One.

But they also knew that for so many years, Group One hadn’t recruited anyone, so it was just a dream.

Even though they couldn’t join Group One, being able to see them in person was exciting enough for them.

"Team Leader Lin is just too handsome."

"I had heard about him before, and now I’ve finally seen him in person."

"This isn’t just a person; he’s a walking hormone!"

The women in the team were no pushovers; many of them came from big families and weren’t shy with their words.

"I’ve heard lots of amazing stories about Team Leader Lin, like how when he first came to Jing City, he managed to win over all the rich second-generation kids."

"No wonder Team Leader Lin is so impressive. It’s just a pity that Group One isn’t recruiting."

Listening to the chatter below, Ning Che stood nearby and smiled, saying:

"It seems these people have quite an impression of you."

"What can I do? Exceptional people shine wherever they go."

"Were you serious about what you said earlier? Do you have any plans to expand?"

"Not at the moment," Lin Yi replied.

"These things are better left for when I step down and they take over Group One."

"The main thing is that having more people can sometimes help mitigate certain risks."

"I know, but my energy is limited, and I can’t oversee so many people."

Ning Che suddenly fell silent.

The fact that Group One could maintain its entire structure and only lose one person over so many years was a testament to Lin Yi’s unimaginable efforts.

The seven people of Group One were supporting him, and he was dragging them forward; the eight of them complemented each other, and adding more people might change the dynamic of the team.

"What about those two girls with D-cups? Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?" Ning Che teased.

"Your other groups can take them in, and I’ll borrow them when needed."

"You’re really not being polite at all."

The four group leaders weren’t in a hurry to leave, staying at the base to watch these people train, hoping to select some suitable candidates to join their teams.

And these people gave their all, hoping to leave a good impression on the group leaders with their outstanding performance.

After watching for about an hour, the people from Group One stayed outside while the four group leaders went to the research institute at the back.

"It’s really rare that all four of you could come together," Chen Zhiyi said with a smile.

"You should be on vacation to relax, right?"

"If we weren’t on a break, the four of us couldn’t have come together. After being busy for so long, we can finally take a rest," Ning Che said with a smile.

"How’s the decryption of the second half of the Sheepskin Scroll going? Any progress yet?"

"Not much progress, it might still take some time," Chen Zhiyi said.

"But we all have a feeling that what’s recorded inside could impact the entire world."

"I’ve thought about that too," Lin Yi said.

"Overseas organizations have been fighting fiercely over the Sheepskin Scroll, so the burden is on you guys."

"We’re in the rear; the real hard work is yours."

After chatting with Chen Zhiyi for a while, Lin Yi and the others left.

The content of the Sheepskin Scroll was something Lin Yi was eager to know.

If his guess was correct, the things recorded could be revolutionary.

It might even include not just the Growth Potion but other unknown things as well.

As for what exactly, only time will tell.

Upon leaving, it was already getting late.

The group found a restaurant to have dinner, and the atmosphere at the table was very lively, with everyone enjoying their drinks enthusiastically.

Past eight in the evening, the group went to OT Bar.

"Team Leader Lin!"

As soon as they entered, they heard a shout.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, unexpectedly finding that the speaker was a new recruit from the Central Guards Brigade selection process.

The two girls with big personalities were also there, and being in a bar, they were dressed in revealing outfits—cropped tops and short skirts or shorts—looking quite different from how they appeared during the day.

The two men and two women quickened their steps, heading towards Lin Yi.

"You group leaders are here to have fun too."

"Just here to relax and have a drink," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"We’re all newcomers, so let me introduce myself first; my name is Zhou Rui."

"I’m Zhao Siqi."

"And I’m Wang Xu."

"My name is Ma Xiangtian."

The four of them introduced themselves, appearing a bit reserved in front of Lin Yi and the others.

"No need to be nervous; maybe you’ll be comrades in the future, so just relax."

The group found their reserved seats, and after a few bottles of alcohol, the atmosphere became more congenial.

Lin Yi also learned some basic information about them.

All four were from the same big compound, and the girls named Zhou Rui and Zhao Siqi knew a bit about Ning Che and Qiu Yuluo, though not very well.

"You group leaders, what kind of missions do you usually undertake abroad? Are you capturing those international criminals?" Zhou Rui asked curiously.

"That’s not usually our job; it’s typically done by Interpol," Tao Cheng said.

"The work we do, you can’t quite imagine yet. You’ve just joined, and after you pass the assessment, you’ll gain a new understanding of the work at the Central Guards Brigade. Then you can decide whether to join."

Upon hearing this, the four of them were surprised.

"We’ve already passed the assessment; haven’t we already been admitted?"

"After passing the assessment, someone will show you what the Central Guards Brigade does. Some people, after learning about this, choose to leave."

"What? After going through so much to get in, people actually leave?"

"Because the work is very dangerous," Tao Cheng said.

"Do you know why you were recruited?"

"To expand the team?"

"That’s only half correct; it’s more accurately to replenish the roster because when someone sacrifices, new recruits must fill the gap," Tao Cheng said.

"The annual casualty rate at the Central Guards Brigade is about 30%, and normal deaths are rare. Some newcomers, upon learning this information, are too scared to join."

The four of them shuddered, feeling a chill down their spines.

"Boss..." Shao Jianfeng suddenly spoke up, "Why do I feel like someone’s watching you?"
