Chapter 1403: Chapter 1404: Cheng Wulan’s Boyfriend

Xu Wanguan nearly had his eyes pop out when he saw Cheng Wulan at the villa. With such a beautiful woman serving, these three days would surely be pleasant and easy.

“I’ll just stay here for these three days,” Xu Wanguan said, looking around.

“This is my residence, yours is nearby,” Cheng Wulan replied politely.

Although the lustful gaze of the other party made her uncomfortable, after all, he was the employer, with a commission of one million. Letting him look a few times wasn’t a big deal.

Actually, Cheng Wulan didn’t need to be present; she could have left everything to Ivan.

But since they were new to this line of work, she wanted to appear sincere and leave a good impression on the client.

“Mr. Xu, we will ensure your safety during these three days. If you don’t have any special requests, we hope you’ll follow our arrangements,” Cheng Wulan said with a smile.

Xu Wanguan drooled and couldn’t stop grinning, “No problem, no problem.”

“There will be people guarding your residence. If you want to go out, please let us know.”

Cheng Wulan explained a lot about the precautions to be taken, which she had also learned from Zhong Min, as she had little experience in this area.

Xu Wanguan constantly nodded in agreement, appearing to be very agreeable.

Finally, Cheng Wulan let Ivan take him to the nearby villa and settled him there.

Meanwhile, in another part of the city, two people were having a secret meeting.

“Leader, Xu Wanguan has arrived. Do you think the Orchid Mercenary Corps can protect them?” one person asked.

“Ridiculous. Do you think they can protect this man with their skills? Absolutely impossible,” the leader said.

This person was Cai Zhong, who had given Cheng Wulan the task.

Cheng Wulan’s switch to being a mercenary was something he found very annoying, so he was determined to hinder their development by any means.

Currently, the task of protecting Xu Wanguan was something he had taken from another mercenary group, and he had already received information that a top international assassin organization had been hired to kill Xu Wanguan.

Assassin organizations are always very mysterious, and international ones even more so. In Cai Zhong’s eyes, this time the Orchid Mercenary Corps was definitely going to fail.

When the time came, he planned to make a big fuss about it, questioning how they could call themselves mercenaries if they couldn’t even protect one person.

At that moment, Xu Wanguan was placed in a villa next to Cheng Wulan’s, with Wang Li and others guarding the perimeter, while Ivan stayed inside with Xu Wanguan to better protect him.

In the evening, Xu Wanguan grew restless and wanted to go out.

“Where are you going?” Ivan asked, sitting in the hall.

“I need to talk to your leader about something,” Xu Wanguan said seriously.

Ivan snorted, having already guessed his intentions, then said, “Our leader is already resting.”

“I’ll just take a look,” Xu Wanguan’s heart itched at the thought of Cheng Wulan, and he couldn’t resist the urge to make a move.

Ivan didn’t stop him, as his primary task was to ensure the other party’s safety. He wouldn’t interfere with where he went.

Xu Wanguan hurriedly put on his clothes and quickly headed towards Cheng Wulan’s room. Ivan and the others remained outside, guarding the area without entering.

But Xu Wanguan came out in less than three minutes, his face swollen, and walked with a limp.

The night passed without incident, and the next morning Xiang Yu and several others got up early to start training. Li Bingbing loyally followed behind Xiang Yu.

“Sister Lan brought back the hired person, safe and sound,” Li Bingbing said.

Xiang Yu paused for a moment, his face showing no other expression, then continued running ahead.

Seeing Xiang Yu speed up, Li Bingbing quickly ran faster too, but no matter how hard she tried, the distance between her and Xiang Yu only grew larger.

“Damn Xiang Yu, smelly Xiang Yu, why are you running so fast?” Li Bingbing angrily muttered from behind.

After training, Xiang Yu washed up and then went to Cheng Wulan’s villa.

By then, Cheng Wulan had also washed up and was sitting there.

Seeing Xiang Yu come over, she had him sit opposite her.

“Is there something you need?” Cheng Wulan asked directly.

“I want to see that person,” Xiang Yu replied bluntly.

“He’s not a good one,” Cheng Wulan said with a stern face. “He came to my room last night and I had to teach him a lesson.”

She vented her frustration but felt it was a mistake to open up so easily to Xiang Yu, who was her subordinate.

“Why do you want to see him?” Cheng Wulan quickly changed the subject.

“I want to find out why he’s here. If it’s just a simple task, then there’s nothing more to say. But this task was issued by the Rookie Mercenary Corp, and I find that suspicious,” Xiang Yu said simply.

“Rest assured, I’ve already asked. He’s here just to do business, nothing else,” Cheng Wulan said decisively.

“I still want to be sure,” Xiang Yu insisted.

The Orchid Mercenary Corps was in its development phase, and he didn’t want it to stumble before it even started.

Cheng Wulan sighed inwardly, believing that Xiang Yu was jealous of this task and just wanted to go over and check the situation.

“Okay, I’ll go with you,” Cheng Wulan said as she stood up.

Originally, she didn’t want to see Xu Wanguan again, but she also didn’t want to let Xiang Yu meet him alone.

As they arrived in front of the villa, Xiang Yu saw Wang Li and others standing vigilantly at different positions around the villa.

Seeing this, Xiang Yu nodded to himself. Although their positions seemed random, they had each other’s backs and no blind spots in sight, proving Ivan wasn’t simple.

When Wang Li and the others saw Xiang Yu approaching, they all displayed looks of disdain. But with Cheng Wulan present, they couldn’t be too obvious about it.

Xiang Yu naturally ignored them and followed Cheng Wulan inside.

By then, Ivan was already up, sitting in the hall. Seeing Xiang Yu come in, he said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

Xiang Yu ignored him and sat straight on the sofa.

“Where is he?” Cheng Wulan asked coldly.

“Upstairs,” Ivan pointed.

Just then, Xu Wanguan, dressed in pajamas, looked down from above. Upon seeing Cheng Wulan, he couldn’t help but shiver all over.

The night before, when he entered Cheng Wulan’s room, intending to discuss life, he was beaten and thrown out before he could even speak.

He never imagined that a woman could have such formidable skills. His face was still swollen.

“Come down,” Cheng Wulan said coldly.

Xu Wanguan quickly nodded and came down. Seeing Cheng Wulan’s icy demeanor, he feared she was there to beat him up again.

When Cheng Wulan saw him come down, she sat there without speaking further.

Xu Wanguan felt awkward, not knowing why they were there, so he forced a smile and asked, “Is there something you need?”

“I have a few questions for you. I want honest answers,” Xiang Yu suddenly said.

Seeing Xiang Yu’s impressive presence, Xu Wanguan couldn’t help but wonder if this was Cheng Wulan’s boyfriend and if he was here to settle scores with him…
