Chapter 420: Seven Days. Is It Over Between Him and Her?
Training went on as usual.
Perhaps, it was that Gu Si’s existence had agitated the others. The four teams were all very energetic as if they had had chicken blood injected into them. Notification of teams being eliminated came in continuously. During this period, only one comrade was eliminated. It was obvious that Gu Si’s involvement in the special training team was showing its effect.
Xing Zhi was finally quite relieved. Gu Mang had been rather concerned about Gu Si’s training condition recently. With a few months of training at Red Scorpion as a foundation, Gu Si could still catch up with the others. The only issue is that he hurt his arm while shooting down the drones. The injury was not severe and it did not affect his training.
The training was almost halfway through and only two people in their cohort had been eliminated. This outcome was better than that of the previous two years.
At night, in front of the cottage.
Xing Zhi sat on the rock with a bottle of cola in hand. He looked at the information coming in at real time on the terminal in his hand in satisfaction. After the special training had gotten back on track, the trainees’ performance was getting better and better.
“Finally, things can be easier for two days,” Xing Zhi said with emotion.
He had not returned to the enforcement hall for over ten days. They had to pay close attention to the special training team. Gu Mang’s eyes were droopy and she spun a gun in hand. She did not speak and no one knew what she was thinking.
“Silence, why don’t you have some rest? It’s getting late.” Xing Zhi knew that the big boss was aloof so when he spoke to her, he was very cautious.
Gu Mang looked at the time. It was 11pm. She uttered a calm acknowledgement and got up to walk to her hut. After taking a shower and stepping outside, Gu Mang held the towel with one hand to wipe her hair and went to the cabinet to take out her laptop.
She walked to the table and put the laptop down and switched it on. She pressed the towel on her head and pulled out the chair to sit down. Then, she leaned back lazily. She reached out her arm to type a little bit and a gaming webpage appeared.
Her eyes flashed past the chocolates on the table casually and she paused to look at them. It had already been seven days since Lu Chengzhou had come by.
He has not appeared for seven days. Are things over between us just like that? Tsk, there doesn’t seem to be a proper context.
Gu Mang smirked with self-mockery. She grabbed the chocolates on the table and threw them all into the rubbish bin. Just the, a video call invitation popped up in the bottom right corner of her computer screen. It was a call from Lin Shuang.
Gu Mang pondered for a few seconds and picked it up. Lin Shuang’s face appeared on screen. She had a facial mask on and in the background Gu Mang could see the Shadow League base. She seemed to have just gotten out of the shower as well as her hair was wet.
“You’re still in the mood to play games? It seems that things have been resolved well.” With the mask on, Lin Shuang looked as if she did not open her mouth to speak.
Gu Si had already told her a week before that Lu Chengzhou had learned everything. And that he had gone to Red Flame to confront her personally.
Gu Mang looked expressionless. She nodded. “Pretty good.”
“Pretty good?” Lin Shuang looked up at her. “Have you gotten back with Lu Chengzhou?”
Gu Mang did not answer her. She said in a crisp and cold voice, “It’s the last time I’m going to carry out training for Red Flame. After this ends, I will speak to Lu Chengzhou and I will never return again. Call Yun Ling to make an arrangement. If Red Flame does not agree, you can send our men over.”
Lin Shuang was stunned. She never thought that this would be the outcome. Are they now on bad terms?
She had always thought that Gu Mang would not bear to go hard on him and that she might just let the matter go.
How could...
“Don’t ask.” Gu Mang cut her off before Lin Shuang could even speak. “Just make the arrangements for me.”
Lin Shuang’s words stayed in her mouth and she swallowed down. Then, she said, “Sure, but you have to send me the exact location of Red Flame’s base on Mingyu Island.”
Gu Mang hummed. “I’ll try if I can break their communications system.”
If the network in Red Flame was disconnected from the outside world, there was no way Red Flame could call for reinforcements or try anything in response.
“Okay, I’m going to look for Yun Ling now.” Lin Shuang took the mask off her face and threw it into the trash can. She laughed. “I thought that your three years of preparation would go to waste.”
