Chapter 1405: Chapter 1406: The Complexity of the Mission

Xiang Yu didn’t see the name on Cheng Wulan’s phone, but for some reason, he suddenly started to feel nervous.

He wanted to hear that familiar voice, but didn’t want it to be her; it was a complicated feeling.

Ivan also sensed Xiang Yu’s nervousness, seeing Xiang Yu breathing a little heavily, he coldly snorted: “Even though you know his identity, there’s no need to be so nervous. If you’re afraid of dying, you can refuse.”

Although Ivan said this, he knew Xiang Yu wasn’t afraid, and didn’t understand why he was so tense.

Back then, Kruse didn’t have as high a status as Xu Wanguan, but Kruse was part of the rebel army, surrounded by soldiers.

Xiang Yu dared to kill even people like that, let alone now.

Xiang Yu ignored Ivan, just stood there slightly bowing his head, listening to Cheng Wulan on the other side.

“Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off…” came the sweet voice of the operator.

Hearing this voice, Xiang Yu finally relaxed inside, but there was also an indescribable sense of loss.

Cheng Wulan held the phone and dialed again, but it was the same as before.

“Could it be that they have a mission?” Cheng Wulan frowned and said.

Though puzzled, she didn’t continue to dial, then walked over.

“Now we can only rely on ourselves to complete the mission.” Cheng Wulan looked determinedly at Xiang Yu and Ivan.

Although Xiang Yu found out the truth, Cheng Wulan still primarily focused on Ivan.

After all, Ivan was previously an ultimate agent, and now he is a prominent figure in the mercenary world.

Xiang Yu, on the other hand, is an unknown character, although the strength he shows now is eye-catching, Cheng Wulan still has doubts in her heart.

“Who were you calling just now?” Xiang Yu suddenly asked lightly.

“Don’t ask too much.” Cheng Wulan replied bluntly.

She noticed Xiang Yu seemed curious about her matters and kept trying to inquire.

Xiang Yu quickly shut his mouth, nodded, and didn’t ask more.

“Instructor Ivan, now that Xiang Yu and his team have joined, do you have any objections?” Cheng Wulan looked sincerely at Ivan and asked.

Ivan quickly nodded: “Of course, there are no issues, but they must be under our command, otherwise, it will be very chaotic.”

Cheng Wulan quickly nodded: “No problem, Xiang Yu and his people will be under your command, and during these three days, no matter what, ensure his safety.”

Cheng Wulan didn’t ask for Xiang Yu’s opinion; the situation was urgent, and she wouldn’t allow Xiang Yu to have other opinions.

Ivan looked at Xiang Yu and smiled: “Instructor Xiang, do you have any objections?”

“No objections.” Xiang Yu shook his head.

For his response, Cheng Wulan was quite satisfied, then looked at Xu Wanguan and said: “During this period, I hope you can follow Instructor Ivan’s arrangements, we will do our utmost to ensure your safety.”

Xu Wanguan hadn’t expected that after his identity was exposed, it would instead attract their attention.

“I will, thank you. Once the matter is resolved, I’ll add a commission for you. Last time’s payment of two million was just part of it.” Xu Wanguan said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wulan’s expression immediately changed. Cai Zhong only paid them one million, she thought it was already high, but it turns out that was just half, and just a part too.

Seeing Cheng Wulan’s face looking somewhat off, Xu Wanguan thought the money was too little. After all, his worth was there, this money was just a drop in the bucket for him.

“If you find it too little, we can discuss further.” Xu Wanguan quickly said.

Cheng Wulan waved her hand to refuse: “I don’t mean that, this money is already quite enough.”

Now, Cheng Wulan had completely understood the true nature of the Rookie Mercenary Corp, which could simply be described as shameless.

“When does your summit begin?” Cheng Wulan asked.

“Tomorrow night at midnight.” Xu Wanguan replied.

Since it was no longer necessary to conceal, and he saw that Cheng Wulan and the others weren’t money-hungry people.

Earlier when he mentioned two million, aside from the guy with the big nose on the right, Cheng Wulan and the others didn’t show a desire for money.

Moreover, Cheng Wulan rejected his offer to pay more.

“Why choose midnight?” Cheng Wulan asked puzzledly.

“Because at that time, the attention will be reduced, and it’s safer.” Xu Wanguan said with a smile: “Maybe you don’t know, every time we hold an event, it attracts many journalists and spectators. Last time there was even a stampede incident.”

Cheng Wulan nodded and didn’t continue to ask; she was just a small mercenary corps commander now, though also rich, she’s not yet at the same level as someone like Xu Wanguan.

She couldn’t yet understand that kind of wealthy lifestyle.

“Why did you choose people from the Rookie Mercenary Corp to protect you?” Cheng Wulan asked puzzledly.

The Rookie Mercenary Corp had a bad reputation in the mercenary world; with Xu Wanguan’s status, he could entirely hire a higher-level corps.

“It wasn’t me who found them; it was my secretary. I told him to find a smaller one, and unexpectedly he found you guys.” Xu Wanguan laughed and said.

Now Xiang Yu and the others understood, it seemed Xu Wanguan’s secretary wasn’t a good person either.

Their Orchid Mercenary Corps was newly established, not only small, but many hadn’t undergone professional training, a team like this might protect an average person.

But protecting someone like Xu Wanguan would be a joke.

If someone truly wanted to kill him, they’d definitely hire top-notch assassins, and these people’s awareness would be completely unable to hold off.

“Who do you think would be a threat to you?” This time, Xiang Yu suddenly asked.

The question Xiang Yu asked was mainly to assess what level of danger the opponent might pose.

Xu Wanguan hesitated for a moment and finally said: “Lin Hai.”

Xiang Yu and the others didn’t know who Lin Hai was, and they looked at him in confusion.

“Lin Hai, like me, is also a director; our opinions have always differed. Today’s meeting is very important; it directly concerns the future development and ownership of the group company. I think if anyone wants to kill me, it would definitely be him.” Xu Wanguan said.

Upon hearing it was someone of the same level as Xu Wanguan, Xiang Yu immediately frowned, concerned that the opponent would have the financial resources to hire formidable killers.

Seeing Xiang Yu frowning, Cheng Wulan felt a bit guilty. This was already the second time.

Xiang Yu meant well, but she misunderstood it as jealousy, thinking she really shouldn’t have.

“Instructor Ivan, do you have confidence?” Cheng Wulan looked at Ivan and asked.

Xu Wanguan also turned to look at Ivan. For them, it was just a task, but for Xu Wanguan, it was a matter of life and death.

“I’ll do my best.” Ivan knew the importance of the matter and didn’t boast.

“I’m counting on you.” Cheng Wulan said.

Now she hated the Rookie Mercenary Corp. If one day she becomes strong, she will definitely give them a hard time…
