Twenty Minutes

The high heels carrying a sweet fragrant breeze came stabbing at Gu Chenan.

Gu Chenan tilted his head slightly to the side, calmly dodging the strike.

Hua Liran's eyes trembled visibly for a moment, but in the next second they were smiling again.

"Fragrant?"

Gu Chenan glanced at Hua Liran's snow-white toes on his shoulder.

"It is quite fragrant," Gu Chenan shrugged and spoke honestly.

"Want to have a taste?" Hua Liran's smile grew brighter, her eyes curving into crescents.

"No thanks, not interested," Gu Chenan shook his head and took Hua Liran's foot down.

"Why not?" Hua Liran asked.

Gu Chenan chuckled and suddenly asked an inappropriate question.

"Say, do you have athlete's foot?"

"Huh?"

Hua Liran blinked, shaking her head in bewilderment. "Of course not."

Gu Chenan spread his hands and said, "Oh, no athlete's foot, no licking, no taste."

Hua Liran: "?"

Hua Liran could, of course, understand that this was clearly a tease, but she couldn't quite figure out why he refused when she had said that as long as Gu Chenan served her for one night, she would let him off.

But he, why not?

"Heh heh," Hua Liran's smile faded, and her expression gradually became indifferent.

"You can be with that little bitch Hoshino Kannon, why can't you be with me?"

"How many men has Hoshino Kannon seduced over the years? Even though that's her assassination method, do you know if anything happened?"

"Or do you know, but you just don't care?"

"Heh heh heh, not caring about Hoshino Kannon's past, you really are a good man."

Hearing these words, Gu Chenan gritted his teeth in anger, enunciating each word, "If you say another word out of line, I'll smash your mouth!"

The original story made it clear that although Hoshino Kannon used the method of seducing men to carry out assassinations, she had always remained chaste.

And more importantly, Hoshino Kannon was still a virgin before that night.

Gu Chenan had personally taken Hoshino Kannon's body, how could he not know?

Seeing Gu Chenan's anger, Hua Liran smiled slightly, "Is that so? Then you have to be able to touch me first."

Swoosh!

With these words, Hua Liran's figure instantly attacked, a hint of ferocious killing intent appearing on her beautiful face.

Gu Chenan didn't dodge or evade, standing as firm as a towering mountain.

Everyone watched this scene with anticipation.

Even Fang Yuanyuan, the internet-addicted girl who was only interested in games, craned her neck.

In an instant, the two figures collided violently.

Bang!

A dull thud rang out.

But it didn't come from Gu Chenan, but from Hua Liran.

Gu Chenan's fist had struck Hua Liran's abdomen hard, and feeling the searing pain in her stomach, Hua Liran's eyes widened before she started coughing violently.

"What?!"

The onlookers were shocked.

Utterly shocked.

When had Gu Chenan struck? How could he have hit Hua Liran?

Before anyone could figure it out, Gu Chenan grabbed Hua Liran's throat with one hand and thrust his knee up violently.

Bang!

Straight into Hua Liran's chest!

Hua Liran's expression changed drastically, her teeth clenched tightly as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

She didn't understand – she had clearly struck Gu Chenan first, so why did Gu Chenan act like nothing had happened and hit her back?

Was Gu Chenan made of iron?

What Hua Liran didn't know was that in the second before she hit Gu Chenan, Gu Chenan had used the last chance to use the Indestructible Vajra Skill.

Blood flowed from the corner of Hua Liran's mouth as she staggered back several steps.

She wanted to continue with her taunts or seduction, but Gu Chenan didn't give her a chance.

Gu Chenan swiftly stepped forward, his figure already in front of Hua Liran.

Before Hua Liran could react, Gu Chenan swung his arm and slapped her hard across the face.

"Slap!"

The crisp sound of the slap echoed throughout the training ground.

This scene startled everyone.

Hua Liran was also stunned.

Though less powerful than a punch, this slap carried immense insult.

"I told you to speak!" Slap!

Another slap.

"Speak, you said you could, keep talking!" Slap!

Three slaps in succession left Hua Liran's cheeks swollen and red.

But Gu Chenan clearly wasn't satisfied. He raised his knee and kicked Hua Liran squarely in the chin.

"You think Kannon is like your slutty self? Go to hell!"

Bang!

A dull thud as Hua Liran was kicked flying out, landing like a pile of mush right in front of everyone.

Gu Chenan, hands in his pockets and full of fury, walked past everyone without a word and went to stand beside Hoshino Kannon.

Everyone was left speechless by this scene.

The three Hawks looked at each other, their faces pale.

Wan Ke's eyes bulged, swallowing hard in disbelief.

Fang Yuanyuan also stared in shock at the unconscious Hua Liran.

Who could have imagined that Gu Chenan, thought to be a naive rich boy by everyone, would have such formidable skills?

Everyone had said earlier that Gu Chenan couldn't last two hours.

Indeed, not two hours – Gu Chenan had defeated Hua Liran in just twenty minutes!

This was simply unbelievable!

Among the organization's Hawks, besides Fang Yuanyuan, Hua Liran's strength was the strongest.

Yet Hua Liran had been so easily defeated by Gu Chenan?

The three Hawks swallowed hard, their necks stiff as they turned to look at Gu Chenan.

They had been certain that Gu Chenan couldn't last two hours, but now... Hua Liran hadn't even lasted twenty minutes against him!

Gu Chenan's strength... was terrifyingly powerful!

Would he... seek revenge on us for mocking him earlier?

In his seat, Lin Yu's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly.

He had only managed to endure for two hours, and that was after Wan Ke had stopped the test early and let him pass.

But Gu Chenan had knocked Hua Liran unconscious in just twenty minutes.

And of those twenty minutes, ten were spent talking between Hua Liran and Gu Chenan.

In reality, Gu Chenan had only needed ten minutes!

After a long silence and confirming that Hua Liran was only unconscious and not in mortal danger, Fang Yuanyuan gestured to Wan Ke.

Wan Ke understood and stood up. "Gu Chenan, you pass the test."

Then he muttered under his breath, "But did you have to go that hard... look what you did to Hua Liran..."

"You went too far..." Hoshino Kannon also said softly.

Went too far?

Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.

Who made this woman slander you? If she hadn't run her mouth, how could I have gone so hard on her?

Besides, you know I love beating down uppity women the most.

"Alright."

Fang Yuanyuan stood up, looking at Lin Yu and then Gu Chenan.

"You two both passed the test, but the same result doesn't mean the same process."

"Gu Chenan defeated Hua Liran in twenty minutes, while Lin Yu only managed to endure for two hours against her."

"As for who is more suitable to take over Gong Fei's position... the result is obvious."
