As he poured wine for Zhou Meng, he said, "What does this mean? To put it simply, if there's any movement here, even before dark, Office lord will know about it..."
Lin Yu!
Su Han sighed inwardly, realizing who Chu Feng had sent to the Six Squad. Every team had its eyes and ears arranged by Chu Feng. As for the newly formed squad and its newly appointed captain, Chu Feng needed to ascertain their absolute loyalty before considering future promotions.
The Six Squad was no exception. His primary focus was on Lin Yu. Zhou Meng and Zhang Yan held lower positions but had been around long enough to be considered seasoned veterans. Such old hands would not report everything up the chain as long as it benefited them.
Chu Feng was well aware of this. Zhao Gang's impulsive nature made him unsuitable as well. Su Yao, being a woman, found herself at a disadvantage in many situations that men could navigate easily. Thus, she could also be ruled out.
That left Lin Yu. He had entered Royal Confidential Office alongside Su Han, brimming with youthful ambition and eager to prove himself—exactly the kind of person who could be easily manipulated. Just now, when Su Han mentioned "even before dark, Office lord will know," Lin Yu's right thumb twitched and his left eye blinked. This was a sign of guilt and fear of secrets being uncovered.
"Captain Su, are you saying there's someone from Office lord... embedded in our team?" Zhang Yan seemed to catch the underlying meaning.
"No, no," Su Han replied as he filled his own cup. "Even if there were before, there certainly isn't now. If there were..." He chuckled and added, "Right, Lin Yu? We entered Royal Confidential Office together; you’ll have to help me out in the future."
"Of course, Su Han." Lin Yu stood up and raised his cup. "We're all part of the Six Squad—supporting each other like brothers, sharing honor and disgrace, advancing and retreating together—no doubt about it! Cheers!"
Zhao Gang's voice boomed, "I don't have as many words as Lin Yu, but I'll say this: Captain Su leads us to success and wealth! If anyone dares betray Captain Su, I won't let them off the hook!"
"Cheers!"
With that, they downed their second round of drinks in one go.
"Eat up, eat up."
Su Han gestured for everyone to take a seat.
He had already ordered for Lin Yu. As for what Lin Yu would do in the future, that was his own business.
"Here, Emerald Shrimp, everyone try this; it's the signature dish of Juxian Tower," Zhou Meng enthusiastically served Su Han a pair of chopsticks full of food.
"Lao Zhou," Su Han said with some concern, "make sure to visit the Dali Temple more often tomorrow."
"I understand, I get your point."
"Lao Zhang, you and Xiao Su should keep a close watch on Wanbao Trading Company, especially the people coming in and out these days." Su Han paused with his chopsticks. "We caught a Xiao Wei this time; the Southern Chu people will definitely not let this go easily. And those folks from Zhengshi Institute—let's not allow them to get ahead of us and leave us at a disadvantage."
Everyone had a newfound respect for their new captain.
Generous, wise, resourceful, and capable.
He always considered the interests of Six Squad.
Where could they find such a boss?
Following him meant no losses.
"Don't worry, we'll head out first thing tomorrow," Zhang Yan said confidently, patting his chest.
Drinking was secondary; winning people's hearts was the top priority.
Su Han knew very well that although he had become the squad leader, his position was still not secure. He couldn't afford to be outsmarted and remain oblivious to what was happening around him.
