Even after returning to the base, Qingzhong and Zhang Xin were still scrutinizing each other from various angles, unwilling to give up.

Fang Qingdai was numb, and said sincerely, "Mom and Dad, please stop asking. Jingyi and I are really friends and partners. I have never had any emotional interaction with him that goes beyond friendship!"

"Right now, I'm focused on training my staff, establishing my own secure base, and moving out of the base. I don't have time to think about romance!"

Fang Qingdai was practically swearing to the heavens when Qingzhong stopped trying to find out more indirectly.

Zhang Xin, however, said, "We're just asking to understand your situation. After all, your parents have been gone for so long, and we just want to fill the void. We won't interfere in your affairs."

"If you like him, your parents need to understand his character because they're afraid you'll get hurt."

Fang Qingdai nodded: "I know, Mom and Dad, but Jingyi and I really don't have any emotional interaction. We're just business partners right now. If anything happens in the future, I won't hide it from you."

Although Qingzhong and Zhang Xin overreacted, they respected Fang Qingdai and inquired about the risks Fang Qingdai experienced after meeting Jingyi.

With Zhang Xin's gentle explanation, Fang Qingdai, who was not ungrateful and did not have such a rebellious attitude, naturally communicated well with her family.

Family is where patience and gentleness are most needed. Being able to communicate gently and trust each other surpasses 99% of families.

Fang Qingdai will cherish it.

There was an undercurrent of tension within the base, but Fang Qingdai and her group acted as usual, showing no signs of anything amiss.

The next day, Xiao Mao led more than fifty people to the abandoned warehouse training room that Fang Qingdai had obtained in exchange.

"Sister, these are all people I carefully selected. I have investigated each of them thoroughly. They have not done anything that raises questions about their values. Take a look."

He handed Fang Qingdai a stack of documents, which contained detailed background information on the fifty-six individuals.

Fang Qingdai read through a few pages and found that these people were of lower level, mostly just past level three, the level to join a team of superhumans. But as Xiao Mao said, these people all had relatively sound values.

They have never arbitrarily bullied ordinary people, nor have they ever indiscriminately killed innocent people.

Xiao Mao's investigation may not be true. After all, no one would publicize their bad deeds in public. There may be some dirty things that Xiao Mao is unaware of.

But just looking at this thick stack of documents, you can see that Xiao Mao really put his heart into it.

In such a short time, with such detailed information, I wonder how many connections this kid used to investigate and compile it.

Fang Qingdai patted his shoulder: "I knew that entrusting things to you would be a sure thing!"

Fang Qingdai accepted all of these people!

It doesn't matter if the level is low. There aren't many level 5 or higher ability users to begin with. The base mostly has level 3 or higher ability users.

Fang Qingdai can equip everyone with the best equipment on the market at the lowest cost, thus making up for many skill gaps.

With the addition of Xuanba's improved training methods, everyone's overall level can be quickly improved.

As for whether everyone is as harmless as Xiao Mao's investigation suggests, we'll have to wait and see as we get to know them.

In any case, Fang Qingdai wouldn't entrust important matters to these newly recruited superhumans. She would test them slowly and kick out those who weren't up to par.

Fifty-six new people have joined, bringing the total number of people in the team to forty-one, making it ninety-seven.

Three more are needed; Xiao Mao will be able to get enough soon.

Having gathered a hundred people was enough to keep the two captains' positions, so Fang Qingdai did not recruit any more superhumans.

There were quite a few superhumans who wanted to join Fang Qingdai's team. Many volunteered, and some even came to her with their entire squads willing to be transferred to Fang Qingdai's team, but Fang Qingdai refused them all.

It's not about the number of people, but about training these 100 people first.

She divided the 100 people into 10 teams of 10 people each, with 5 teams registered under Xiao Mao's name and the other half under her name.

However, the training is still joint training. Now, in addition to Genpachi, several other people who were hand-woven on the battlefield can also serve as instructors.

Fang Qingdai was somewhat worried about where to find a batch of discarded defensive equipment for her team members.

Last time Lao Zhang went to the logistics department, he only found more than thirty sets of abandoned defensive equipment.

Now that Huang Guang is on the base's wanted list, it's no longer feasible to use him to fool Lao Zhang; that approach is no longer viable.

Just as she was worrying about this, Huang Changming brought her some good news!

“My dad said that Lao Zhang has been dismissed from his post, and now his people are in charge of the logistics department warehouse. If we need anything, we can just go through the back door as before!”

Fang Qingdai's eyes suddenly lit up!

"Your dad's got guts, he started making moves as soon as he got out!"

Huang Guang also stayed in Linguan City, but he could contact Fang Qingdai and his former subordinates through the bracelet.

Even a broken ship has three thousand nails. The Mao family knew how to cultivate their own faction. It's not surprising that Huang Guang, who served as the Minister of Logistics for so long, had his own absolutely loyal faction.

Fang Qingdai was extremely pleased with Huang Guang's tact. Without taking a break, he immediately began organizing his own path and handed it over to Fang Qingdai!

He was a smart man. After realizing that there would never be a place for him in the Xuanwu Base again, he decisively switched to Fang Qingdai's command, giving everything he had, only seeking Fang Qingdai's trust.

He was even more audacious, completely disregarding Fang Qingdai's influence and connections, and daring to bet his entire fortune and life on her based solely on what he saw and felt.

Fang Qingdai was indeed moved.

A wise man chooses a wise ruler, and Huang Guang believed that Fang Qingdai would be a wise ruler who could lead him back to a high position.

Fang Qingdai hesitated for a moment and decided not to ask about the stone.

Huang Guang was dismissed from his post because he had secretly kept a stone.

Fang Qingdai was curious about what could possibly be the thing that would allow Li Weidong's organization to go to such lengths to target Huang Guang.

The fact that Huang Guang didn't budge even when threatened with his son and wife is enough to prove the importance of that thing.

Even after he was brought down, the people behind him did not do anything to bail him out, which might mean that the thing was related to the people behind Huang Guang.

Fang Qingdai was willing to give Huang Guang time. Even if he couldn't give that thing to Fang Qingdai, he should at least have an open and honest discussion about the matter, give Fang Qingdai an attitude, and put her at ease.

His current eagerness to offer up his remaining forces is perhaps a way of buying himself time.

Fang Qingdai was willing to give it.

Putting that aside, Fang Qingdai took Huang Changming to the logistics department warehouse again.

The people Huang Guang left behind must have been instructed beforehand. Upon seeing Fang Qingdai and Huang Changming, they took them into the warehouse without saying a word.

Fang Qingdai didn't stand on ceremony either; she now needed to support so many people, and her material needs were much greater than before!

She could also ignore it and, like other teams, let the people below develop freely, only allocating resources to the more outstanding core members.

But since Fang Qingdai has the ability, she naturally wants to do her best to improve the overall strength of the team!
