Lazily Yours.

Chu Nan wasn't allowed to join the first event. Or at least, Lyca and Shen Qui didn't allow him to join. Despite, trying his best to convince them, the two declined and told him to stay with Ronan and Cleo instead. Of course, they assured him that he could join in the final stages of the competition.

"The map is like a maze. We cannot communicate with them during the rescue. Of course, they can always communicate with themselves." Ronan said. His eyes were focused on the screen on his laptop. "Are you sure that you are going to send fifteen people this time? I mean… that's too little. There will be at least thirty enemies. Live people who knew martial arts. These people were from the committee."

"So many? The scenario, this time, is not rescuing the president, right?" Lyca thought that they are doing overboard this time. How could they assign thirty people to protect someone? Does this mean the person who was kidnapped was extremely important?

"Well, they wanted to test the physical ability of each company. Meaning, they wanted to showcase martial arts and weapon handling. They will not use real weapons this time. The guns looked and felt real. However, the bullets are pellets. Once it will hit someone, the pellet will be lodged to the clothes and produce a yellow color. SWAT used this for training. I guess the Long Family donated this as they were known to make toy guns like this." Ronan explained and showed them a model of the gun. "Anyway, once you are hit you are considered down and are not supposed to stand up again. However, my concern lies in the fact that an opponent can use martial arts to take you down. They were instructed to make it look realistic."

"Meaning?" Shen Qui asked.

"You can tap out. You can only faint."

"What kind of rule is that?" Cleo reacted. "They are bullying us! I am sure that this is Long Yi's scheme! They know that we have fewer people so they want to target us!"

"That is obvious. Long Yi wanted us out of this competition. If he asked those people to use martial arts and 'accidentally' target some fatal points, then we are finished." Ronan said.

"Then… they will be disappointed." Lyca's words interrupted the gloomy atmosphere. "I trained those people to become fast runners before I trained them in martial arts and weapons. Do you think… they could outrun anyone of my people?" Lyca smiled.

Plus, before the first stage began, she already gave instructions to her people. It was only one word, and that is to run. Run as fast as they could. Be shameless and run. At the end of the day, the people who survive and could rescue the kidnapped victim would be the winner.

This isn't some martial arts competition where people needed to show how brave and strong they are. This is a rescue operation.

"So? Do we have a plan for this?" Chu Nan asked.

"Mr. Chu, the first stage already started. Isn't it too late to ask about this?" Shen Qui answered.

"I already told them to run as fast as they could." Lyca declared.

In response, Chu Nan avoided Lyca's gaze. He didn't know if he should laugh at this simple strategy or cry and be scared that people would laugh at them once they see them running away.

"This competition is testing physical abilities," Lyca said. "If you read the rules, they didn't say that everyone should fight. Moreover, running is an ability too! Can anyone here ran as fast as them in the mountains?"

"You read the rules?"

"No." She shook her head. "But my husband memorized it. I can just ask him anything!"

Chu Nan nodded as he looked at the huge TV in front of them. The TV was showing all the CCTV in the area of the competition. Right now, it's showing the first group that needed to face the bandits. And that is, of course, the Shen Security.

Shen Security was actually the unlucky company that got the number one. Of course, they weren't aware of this was also a part of Long Yi's scheme or if Lyca who chose the paper was just unlucky. Of course, cheating is not allowed. While they decided to show the video, the committee also informed them that the formation of the guards and even the guards would change so no one could cheat the game.

"It's starting… look! Someone is about to meet one of the guards!" Since everyone was wearing black armor, they couldn't see who was behind the mask. "Ah!? That person ran away!?" Cleo said. She didn't know if she should be excited that they didn't get any injury or disappointed that the person just ran away like that.

"Ah? So smart!" of course, Lyca praised her people. "Look at him, running like he wasn't wearing armor. Look! To avoid people, he is going to climb on trees! Hahaha!" Lyca's laughter echoed. As expected, everyone around her is too clever, ah!

But this tactic is really too shameless!

Now that Chu Nan looked at the eight different videos, he couldn't help but give a wry smile. Until now, there was no confrontation as the fifteen people that Lyca's sent was hiding in the trees! They were jumping and swinging on the branches like monkeys!

She looked at the lazy smile on Lyca's face. This woman… This woman was so shameless! Chu Nan was certain that no one expected this type of development. However, he already made a mental note not to go out of his room and hide his face in public. He was sure that the company would receive ridicule from other companies, ah.

"Mr. Chu… that face that you are making is really ugly. I am not sure if you are crying or smiling, ah." Lyca suddenly said. "What's wrong with you?" she asked.

"Uh? Nothing! I am just… I want to ask you a question. Did you tell them not to fight?"

"Of course, not!"

"Then… why are they running and avoiding fighting."

"In rescuing someone. Do you really have to fight? Fighting takes time. If you can avoid it, then why not just avoid?"

Her words rendered him speechless. Actually, her words made sense. But for some reason, he still thought it was shameless to just run like this, ah.
