Chapter 394: is simply flawless.

A solemn, almost frozen atmosphere hung in the air, making one wonder if the next second would be the chopping of chickens and the burning of joss paper.
Qin Han, the current head of Jiangjin Group, was meticulously scrutinizing the thin "membership application" before him, with the same rigorous attitude one would use to examine their company's annual financial report.
"Um... Chairman Huang, Chairman Su," his brow furrowed,
"Although I'm not from a legal background, isn't this contract... a bit too unfriendly to those joining?
The exit clause is written like a contract of servitude, and there's this whole bunch of rules, like unconditional obedience to orders during 'special activities' within the organization...
Is this signing a contract, or joining the Heaven and Earth Society?!?!"
His eyes darted back and forth between Su Hao and Huang Fengwen, filled with huge question marks.
"Ahem."
Huang Fengwen cleared his throat, his perpetually icy face remaining completely expressionless.
"If you don't like it, you don't have to sign. We never force anyone."
As he spoke, he reached out, as if to take back the "contract of servitude."
That nonchalant "sign it or don't, it's up to you" attitude instantly shattered Qin Han's composure.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't do that!"
Seeing this, he didn't dare hesitate any longer. Like a cat guarding its food, he grabbed the contract and quickly signed his name on the last page.
"Oh dear, Chairman Huang, what are you saying?"
After signing, he wiped imaginary sweat from his brow.
"When did I say I wouldn't sign? I was just...
exerting the meticulousness of an entrepreneur, raising a small, reasonable concern!"
"Didn't our Chairman Su mention it to you?"
Chairman Huang's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"In this place, without a certain level of awareness, you can't just walk in."
"He mentioned it! Of course he mentioned it!" Qin Han carefully put away the contract, his face serious.
"It was precisely because I heard about it that I made up my mind, with utmost sincerity, to dedicate myself to this great organization!"
Seeing his expression, Huang Fengwen finally smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
"Since that's the case, that makes things easier. The application is signed, it's time to show you our 'headquarters'!"
"No problem! We can leave anytime!"
"Oh, right," Huang Fengwen added, as if suddenly remembering something,
"You don't need to bring your bodyguard team. As for the reason... you know.
We'll provide a private car for you later, so just squeeze in with us today."
"Understood! Absolutely understood! This level of secrecy must be airtight! Of course, of course!"
Qin Han replied solemnly with an "I understand everything" expression.
Su Hao, standing to the side, was almost internally injured from suppressing his laughter.
What secrecy...
This so-called private car service is purely a top-tier VIP benefit provided to guild members, okay?
After all, everyone here is a respected figure; who wants to drive around personally?
Providing direct transportation, door-to-door service, that's called prestige!
However, in Mr. Qin's eyes, it was completely imagined as a flawless, secret organization's security procedures!
Hold on! You absolutely must hold on!
Su Hao desperately tried to keep a straight face. The three of them got into the seemingly ordinary but actually bulletproof and blast-proof van, speeding all the way to their guild's "landmark building."
When the car stopped, Qin Han's expression froze again.
"..."
He stared blankly at the ultra-modern building before him, his face filled with disbelief.
"This...isn't this building a bit too ostentatious?
And the decor...it looks like a five-star resort hotel!
No, more like a luxury resort...
Holy crap, what's that? A swimming pool? I'm not seeing things, am I? There's even a water slide next to it?!
Isn't that something you only see in water parks?"
Faced with this barrage of probing questions, Su Hao remained silent.
How could he explain?
Because it was indeed one of the recreational facilities specifically built to facilitate guild members bringing their families on vacation.
They couldn't very well tell this new "big boss" that their secret organization's core base also doubled as a children's playground, could they?
"Oh, Chairman Huang, you're here! Quick, stop running, come over and greet Chairman Huang and Chairman Su!"
As soon as they stepped into the hall, a group of lively little kids rushed over like a whirlwind, followed by several elegant ladies, all smiles as they greeted them.
"Hello, Chairman Huang! Hello, Chairman Su!" The children's voices rose and fell in a chorus.
"..."
Qin Han was completely dumbfounded. He stood there, stunned, watching the group of children whiz past him like a swarm of little monkeys, the sweet smell of lollipops still lingering in the air.
Like Tang Sanzang who had wandered into the Spider Cave, he stared blankly at this heartwarming scene of joy and everyday life, his worldview undergoing a violent collapse and reconstruction.
Su Hao thought, "Now they should finally understand, right?"
"Now that things have come to this, you should understand we're not some shady organization, right?"
"I see."
In the elevator, Qin Han suddenly grinned, a look of sudden realization spreading across his face.
"Finally, he's got it!" Su Hao thought to himself.
"This disguise... it's absolutely flawless!" Qin Han exclaimed in admiration.
"...?"
"The exterior is disguised as a luxurious resort, and inside, children and their families are playing and laughing, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility!"
Qin Han's voice was filled with admiration.
"Who would have thought that beneath this facade of happiness and peace, lies a secret base capable of shaking the world?
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This is the legendary 'great hermit in plain sight'!"
Su Hao: "..."
Huang Fengwen: "..."
...Can it be interpreted like that?
This isn't just getting it; this is a mind-blowing explosion!
Su Hao glanced at Huang Fengwen beside him and saw that he was biting his lip tightly, his face flushed red, clearly struggling to suppress a fit of maniacal laughter.
The elevator doors opened, and guild members brushed past them along the way.
These people had obviously received advance notice, each trying to maintain a nonchalant expression, as if to say, "It's just another new member joining the team, the chairman of Jinjiang Group, no big deal."
But the curious glint in their eyes betrayed them completely.
After a series of tacit nods, they finally arrived at their destination.
“This is it?” Qin Han looked at the heavy metal door before him, his breathing slightly rapid.
“That’s right. This is a private space I specially prepared for you.”
Huang Fengwen smiled like an old witch tempting Snow White with an apple.
“It will also be where you frequently fight from now on. After all, someone like you needs comprehensive ‘guidance’.”
“Guidance? What kind of code is that…”
“Hehe, you’ll understand once you go in.”
At Huang Fengwen’s prompting, Qin Han, full of suspicion, pushed open the heavy door.
“…?”
