Chapter 1440 - 1441: Cheng Wulan Exhausted to the Point of Collapse

Early the next morning, many people were awakened by the loud shouts, some even cursed out loud, complaining about being disturbed so early in the morning.

Cheng Wulan was also half-asleep when she was woken up by the noise. As she drew the curtains to look outside, she saw Xiang Yu’s team running drills.

Tie Zhuzi and Li Bingbing were among them, shouting as they ran into the distance.

Now Cheng Wulan knew that the person running on the outside was their instructor, so she paid more attention.

After watching them run off, Cheng Wulan didn’t go back to sleep. She got dressed and got up.

Everyone else was working hard training, so what excuse did she have to keep sleeping?

But just as she got up, someone angrily came over to find her.

"Commander Cheng, did you see those people? They’re out there shouting and yelling early in the morning, disturbing our rest!"

"Yeah, those people are crazy."

"Commander Cheng, better chase them away quickly so they don’t bother us."

Cheng Wulan looked at her brothers, then at Xiang Yu’s people, and noticed a fundamental difference between them.

"Shut up, they start training early, and what are you doing, sleeping in? Get to training." Cheng Wulan felt a sense of disappointment in them.

The complainers left dejectedly when they saw she wouldn’t side with them.

At that moment, Xiang Yu ran past her in a tracksuit.

Cheng Wulan couldn’t resist and followed behind Xiang Yu’s pace, running forward.

"Slow down, I can’t keep up with your speed." Cheng Wulan called out from behind.

"If you can’t keep up, speed up." Xiang Yu replied with a faint smile and ran even faster.

Cheng Wulan was frustrated and angrily picked up her pace to catch up.

Meanwhile, in a villa far away, someone was watching them through binoculars.

"Boss, those newcomers are running, just like those fools with Xiang Yu who only know how to run." the person said viciously.

This was Wen Shengbao, who had defected from the Orchid Group. His boss was Wang Li.

They seemed obsessed, unable to rest until Xiang Yu was eliminated.

Wang Li took the binoculars and sneered viciously as he watched.

Just then, his phone rang, and it was Ivan calling.

"Is my underwear clean? Bring it over quickly." Ivan said and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Ivan angrily gritted his teeth, wishing he could smash the phone.

He blamed Xiang Yu for his current predicament and vowed to kill him no matter what.

"Go bring him his underwear." Wang Li told Wen Shengbao.

Reluctantly, Wen Shengbao grabbed the underwear and ran downstairs.

Now he and Wang Li were focused on surveilling Xiang Yu, while Ivan made money to support them both.

The three of them had agreed that once Xiang Yu was eliminated, they would form an organization, confident Ivan’s skills would ensure its success.

Wen Shengbao handed Ivan his underwear.

Ivan was lying naked on the bed in a starfish position and made no effort to cover up when Wen Shengbao entered.

He sat up and asked, "Any news on Xiang Yu lately?"

Wen Shengbao quickly replied, "Those people are Xiang Yu’s brothers, and they’ve started training."

Ivan’s face grew darker upon hearing this. The stronger Xiang Yu became, the harder it would be to eliminate him.

Seeing Ivan’s displeasure, Wen Shengbao quickly added, "I just got news yesterday that the terrorists on TV seem connected to Cheng Wulan."

"Oh?" Ivan seemed intrigued by this and turned to look at Wen Shengbao. "What’s their connection?"

"The woman on TV is a good friend of Cheng Wulan." Wen Shengbao said. "They seem to be planning a rescue."

Ivan couldn’t help but laugh. Cheng Wulan and her group attempting a rescue mission was absurd.

"Is the information reliable?" Ivan asked Wen Shengbao.

"Very reliable," Wen Shengbao replied.

Ivan nodded and smiled, "Xiang Yu, it seems I won’t need to lift a finger; your downfall is imminent."

Given Xiang Yu had over twenty people with him, Ivan was convinced they intended to rescue someone.

Ivan knew that place was a fortress; entering it, let alone rescuing someone, was difficult enough for Xiang Yu’s group.

"It’s a shame I won’t get to see his demise." Ivan said excitedly.

He looked at Wen Shengbao and asked, "Is your butt clean?"

He had developed a fixation on Wen Shengbao’s behind, often summoning him unexpectedly.

Wen Shengbao grimaced and reluctantly presented himself.

...

Meanwhile, Cheng Wulan was still following behind Xiang Yu and running with all her might. Despite Xiang Yu not slowing down for her, she stubbornly persisted.

She used to think running was simple, something anyone could do.

But now she realized it wasn’t that easy.

Xiang Yu seemed to have a rhythm in his breathing; although she was sweating profusely and starting to tire.

Xiang Yu remained unfazed, running calmly as if he had endless stamina.

"If you can’t run anymore, don’t push yourself." Xiang Yu said calmly.

For beginners, keeping up with Xiang Yu was difficult. He was concerned she might get injured.

Cheng Wulan snorted coldly and said nothing, determined to stay behind Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and took a shortcut back.

When they reached Cheng Wulan’s villa, she nearly collapsed from exhaustion. She didn’t want to appear weak in front of Xiang Yu, so she persisted and ran into the house, collapsing inside.

Panting heavily, she needed a break. She cursed Xiang Yu inwardly, considering him crazy for running such long distances without breaking a sweat.

She lay there motionless, wanting to rest before getting up.

About ten minutes later, the room door suddenly opened, and Xiang Yu walked in from outside.

Seeing the scene, Xiang Yu was puzzled. What was going on with Cheng Wulan lying there, covered in sweat?

Cheng Wulan didn’t expect Xiang Yu to walk in and jumped up, blushing.

"I was doing yoga, didn’t you know to knock?" Cheng Wulan said.

Xiang Yu felt awkward too, realizing she’d completely exhausted herself.

He walked to the door and tapped three times, "May I come in?"

Cheng Wulan gave him a look and walked into the room to change and go to the bathroom.

Xiang Yu waited on the sofa as he needed to discuss the resupply of weapons; no matter what, he was determined to rescue Zhong Min...
