Chapter 133 The Person Who Reveals the Secret Shows His True Colors
The person who revealed the secret has shown their true colors.
The man in black slowly raised his head, revealing a sinister and eerie face.
He chuckled softly, "Ha, interesting." His voice was hoarse, grating, and chilling.
However, Su Yunlan saw through this pretentious trick at a glance.
The man in black was thin and walked with an unsteady gait. His so-called "night-walking clothes" were poorly made, with loose threads visible.
The so-called "eerie and eerie" appearance was nothing more than some cheap paint smeared on the face, making it look ridiculous in the night.
"Playing tricks." Su Yunlan uttered four words with disdain, her tone laced with sarcasm.
The man in black felt a little guilty after Su Yunlan's casual remark, and the sinister aura he had been putting on weakened somewhat.
He coughed lightly, trying to maintain his composure, "You bunch of ignorant fools..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chief Escort Wang suddenly rushed out from the crowd, pointing at Su Yunlan and roaring, "Su Yunlan! What exactly do you want to do?!"
Wang Biaotou's face was flushed, and his eyes were almost bulging out, like an enraged bull.
He had hoped that this charlatan would scare away Su Yunlan and the others, but Su Yunlan saw through him at a glance, which only made him more embarrassed.
The members of the escort agency were stunned by this sudden turn of events and quickly surrounded the group, creating a tense atmosphere.
Despite facing Wang Biaotou's anger, Su Yunlan remained calm, her eyes radiating a powerful aura. "What do I want to do? Wang Biaotou, don't you know? I just want to make the escort agency better, instead of being like this now, a mess that even merchants avoid."
"You..." Chief镖头 Wang trembled with rage, "You're breaking the traditions of the镖局! You're..."
Su Yunlan sneered, interrupting him, "Tradition? What kind of tradition? Is it the tradition of taking kickbacks? Or the tradition of bullying bodyguards? Or perhaps, the tradition of colluding with bandits?"
Wang Biaotou's expression changed drastically, his lips trembled, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Young Master Xiao stepped forward and shouted, "Head镖师 Wang, what else do you have to say! I have personally witnessed you embezzling the escort funds and deducting the镖师's wages! Also, last time when Merchant Liu's goods were robbed, it was you who deliberately leaked the information to the bandits!"
Young Master Xiao's words resounded like thunder in the crowd.
The members of the escort agency were in an uproar and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"What? Chief镖头 Wang actually did such a thing?"
"No wonder Mr. Liu never used our escort agency to transport goods again!"
"I always respected him, I never imagined he was this kind of person!"
Wang Biaotou's face turned from red to white, then from white to green, his lips trembling, yet he was powerless to refute.
He never expected that Young Master Xiao would expose his crimes in public.
"You...you're spouting nonsense!" Chief镖头 Wang roared, his voice clearly lacking in conviction despite his fierce but weak words.
Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, grasped Su Yunlan's hand, looked at her with unwavering eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Yunlan, rest assured, I support you in reorganizing the escort agency. Whoever dares to obstruct us, I will not tolerate it!"
Su Yunlan grasped Xiao Yuhan's hand in return, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from his palm, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead, she would have Xiao Yuhan's company and support.
She leaned towards him.
"Chief镖王, do you have anything else to say?" Su Yunlan's voice was clear and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), lowered his head in dejection.
"Heh, it seems the real show is just beginning..." the man in black suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a meaningful smile.
Su Yunlan's gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on the ashen-faced head镖师 (镖头, head镖师). His voice was clear and cold like a mountain spring, yet it carried an undeniable authority: "Considering your past contributions to the镖局 (镖局, a type of security escort agency), I will not pursue your past mistakes today. However, effective immediately, you are hereby dismissed from your position as head镖师 and demoted to a regular镖师 (镖师, a type of security escort). Do you accept this?"
Wang, the镖头 (bodyguard), was deathly pale. His lips twitched a few times before he finally nodded dejectedly.
He knew that this was the best possible outcome.
Although the surrounding bodyguards were dissatisfied with Wang Biaotou's previous behavior, they did not take advantage of his misfortune out of consideration for their past relationship.
Su Yunlan's gaze then turned to Li Wushi, who stood arrogantly to the side. "Li Wushi, as a martial arts instructor of the escort agency, you have no respect for your elders and are disobedient. If this happens again, the escort agency will not tolerate you!" Li Wushi's expression changed. Feeling the strange looks from the other escorts around him, he had no choice but to lower his head and reluctantly reply, "Yes."
After dealing with Chief Escort Wang and Martial Arts Master Li, Su Yunlan looked around at everyone and said loudly, "Gentlemen, the rise and fall of the escort agency is closely related to each and every one of us. I hope that everyone can work together to rebuild the escort agency into a leader in the industry!"
Su Yunlan's words resonated deeply, igniting the passion and ambition within the bodyguards.
They had initially had doubts about Su Yunlan's reorganization plan, but now that they saw her fair and just approach to things and her clear distinction between rewards and punishments, they trusted her even more.
In the days that followed, the bodyguards trained with great enthusiasm, each one of them full of energy, as if they had been reborn.
Young Master Xiao also actively participated, living and training alongside the bodyguards, and quickly won their respect and affection.
The reconnaissance of the escort routes is also progressing smoothly. After several days of hard work, they have thoroughly investigated the main escort routes in the surrounding area and formulated corresponding safety plans.
Standing in the training ground of the escort agency, Su Yunlan looked at the orderly scene before him and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
The sunlight shone on her face, reflecting her bright smile.
This is just the beginning. She believes that with her and Xiao Yuhan's joint efforts, the escort agency will surely regain its former glory!
However, just as Su Yunlan was full of hope for the future, a piece of news shattered this peace.
Butler Sun rushed into the escort agency and said to Su Yunlan with a solemn expression, "Madam Su, my master asked me to tell you that he has decided not to use your agency's escort service for this shipment..."
