    I’ll make sure to train the newcomer until they’re utterly subdued.”

    Zhu Xuetao thought to himself before clearing his throat seriously.

    “New guy!

    Two hundred push-ups!

    Run two laps around the training ground.”

    Ning Fan’s lips curled slightly as he laughed.

    Zhu Xuetao was obviously picking a fight with him, deliberately trying to mess with him.

    Seeing Lan Kexin by the side, looking pleased with herself and quite satisfied, Ning Fan instantly understood that Lan Kexin was looking to get back at him using Zhu Xuetao.

    And then there were those security guards, trained to be idiots, all too eager to watch the excitement unfold.

    With a slight smile, Ning Fan looked straight at Zhu Xuetao and said with a laugh, “Two hundred?

    The difficulty is too low; it’s not challenging at all.”

    Zhu Xuetao had seen people show off, but never anyone quite as boastful as this.

    He couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

    You’ve got to be kidding!

    Two hundred push-ups!

    Ordinary people who hadn’t done them before would find even one hundred a torment, and after doing two hundred push-ups, and then running two laps around the training ground, a normal person would definitely not be able to handle it; they’d be throwing up their stomach acid.

    Lan Kexin was sneering as well,

    “Ning Fan, looking for a way to back down gracefully, you should at least choose the right height, shouldn’t you?

    You picked the highest step, and without a ladder, you won’t be able to come down.

    Two hundred push-ups are not challenging?

    Let’s see how you manage to get down from there.”

    Lan Kexin was very much looking forward to seeing Ning Fan take a fall, preferably a severe one, so that he would stop bothering her and irritating her.

    Although the security guards harbored no grudge against Ning Fan, they too were displeased when they heard what he said.

    Some of the guards had been training up to this point and still couldn’t manage to do two hundred consecutive push-ups followed by two laps around the training ground.

    This new kid, boasting so boldly, acting as though such a challenge was child’s play—wasn’t this implying that they were inferior to a newcomer?

    Was he deliberately trying to make them look bad?

    Not only was he making them look bad, but he was also making Zhu Xuetao, the head of the security department, look bad.

    Ning Fan was provoking the entire security department!

    “With those skinny arms and legs of yours, forget about two hundred push-ups, if you can do a hundred, I’ll call you ‘big brother’!”

    One of the guards mocked coldly, his eyes full of scorn, as if he was moments away from pointing his finger right at Ning Fan’s nose while he spoke.

    As he talked, the guards roared with laughter, their mirth bright and beaming, occasionally flexing the biceps in their arms to show off their own strength.

    That’s right, this was a challenge!

    Daring to challenge the security department, these guards naturally wanted to provoke Ning Fan.

    Although teasing Ning Fan had no sense of achievement, it was at least very satisfying, which was enough for them.

    Ning Fan sneered.

    These fools really couldn’t catch his eye.

    Seeing Ning Fan still wear that nonchalant expression, Lan Kexin sneered and said, “If you think it’s not difficult, why don’t you have a competition with Captain Zhu?”

    “Damn, stirring up animosity…

    Lan Kexin, you’re doing quite well!” Ning Fan shook his head slightly, walked over to Lan Kexin, and whispered.

    Zhu Xuetao was even more excited, seizing the opportunity to show off in front of Lan Kexin—a once-in-a-lifetime chance indeed.

    He stepped forward and pushed Ning Fan, his eyes filled with mockery and ridicule.

    “New guy, you’re pretty arrogant, huh?

    How about we compete?

    Push-ups, free fighting, racing—pick any.

    If you beat me, you’ll be the boss of the security department, and I’ll listen to you.”

    The guards behind Zhu Xuetao were also whipped up into a frenzy; previously, it was just the same old routine of teaching newcomers.

    Now with Zhu Xuetao personally doing the teaching, there would definitely be a great show!

    Ning Fan didn’t give a damn about Zhu Xuetao, instead, he looked at Lan Kexin with a smile.

    “Kexin, if I beat our old Captain Zhu, is there any reward in it for me?”

    “You are you, and I am me, not ‘us’!”

    Lan Kexin was instantly infuriated, Ning Fan always took advantage of her, since when had they become “us”?

    She needed to calm down first…

    and see what tricks he was up to.

    “What reward do you want?”

    Ning Fan thought for a moment, then shamelessly said, “How about a kiss from you?”

    Everyone stared at Ning Fan with widened eyes, this guy had completely lost his mind and there was no cure!

    In front of the squad leader Zhu, to call him old Zhu was a forbidden nickname in the security department!

    Zhu Xuetao bulged his eyes out as if they were about to pop, glaring at Ning Fan.

    Dammit, flirting with my goddess right in front of me, Ning Fan, do you think I’m air?

    Zhu Xuetao wished he could flatten Ning Fan with a punch and leave him unable to speak a single word, but with Lan Kexin in front of him, he needed to maintain a gentleman’s demeanor, suppressing his rage.

    Lan Kexin’s pretty face turned red and hot as if fire was burning on her face, overwhelmed with shame.

    Ning Fan proved himself the most shameless bastard.

    “Fine!

    I agree, as long as you can beat Captain Zhu, I’ll do just that…”

    Lan Kexin didn’t believe Ning Fan could win against Zhu Xuetao.

    For Ning Fan, the outcome of the competition was bound to be a loss, and if he lost, it would be embarrassing enough for him, and she would have the chance to vent her anger fiercely.

    “Do just what?” Ning Fan looked at Lan Kexin’s blushing cheeks, intentionally provoking her.

    The surrounding security guards finally realized Ning Fan was a shameless scoundrel.

    Such a person, they thought, should not be shown any mercy.

    However, they too wanted to hear Lan Kexin’s answer…

    Lan Kexin’s face turned even redder, so red it was like a ripe apple ready for the picking.

    Although Lan Kexin was not a peerless beauty like Xu Ruolan, she was not far behind.

    The sight of her blushing face left the security guards stupefied. Sёar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Partly out of anger induced by Ning Fan, Lan Kexin, standing on high heels, steeled her heart and said coldly,

    “Ning Fan, if you beat Captain Zhu, I will kiss you!”

    As she spoke, Lan Kexin glared at Ning Fan with murderous eyes, thinking, just wait and see, as if you could beat Captain Zhu.

    As soon as the competition is over, you’ll get what’s coming to you.

    Ning Fan remained nonchalant.

    Actually, what’s the big deal?

    Didn’t you, Lan Kexin, kiss me first last night?

    The crowd was momentarily stunned, not expecting Lan Kexin to be pushed to this extent, especially Zhu Xuetao, who stared wide-eyed.

    Filled with pent-up anger, he hesitated before asking Lan Kexin, “Kexin, if I win, can I also…”

    Lan Kexin hesitated, then blurted out, “No!”

    Ning Fan secretly chuckled to himself, while the awkward atmosphere caused the other security guards to hold back their laughter.

    Noticing the strange mood, Lan Kexin tried to smooth things over, “Captain Zhu, you must properly discipline this brash calf.

    Win this competition and set an example for the newbie.”

    After the awkwardness, Zhu Xuetao turned his embarrassment into anger towards Ning Fan, saying,

    “Of course, Kexin, don’t worry, I won’t let this newcomer tarnish your purity.

    I’m going to make him pay.”

    Lan Kexin’s expression suddenly darkened when she heard Zhu Xuetao’s words, her purity…

    had already been taken by Ning Fan.

    After a moment of daze, she steadied her mind and, like Zhu Xuetao, directed her anger at Ning Fan.

    “Interesting, I’ll take on this challenge,” Ning Fan said with a smile.

    The security guards sneered continuously, Ning Fan, that madman, actually dared to accept.

    At this point, if he just backed down, nothing would happen.

    But this kid, unaware of what was good for him, stubbornly accepted the challenge.
