On the other hand, Guo Fei couldn’t sleep due to the things mentioned in the post. He carefully analyzed it and even looked at other posts, growing angrier the more he read.

As soon as it was light, Guo Fei, seeing the time was right, immediately went to Nan Muran’s apartment.

“This?” Nan Muran frowned as she looked at the post on her phone. The melodramatic plot was anything but objective. It was clear she was the one who took the initiative to break off the engagement, and she wasn’t devastated either.

Sure, she had slapped someone, but going mad? That probably didn’t happen.

“Aren’t you upset?” Guo Fei, observing her since entering, saw no unusual signs and thus relaxed a bit.

Nan Muran told him about what happened the last time she was at the Nan family’s house, adding with a disgusted frown, “Things that are tainted can’t be kept.”

Guo Fei finally smiled. No wonder she had grown up so fast: “You’re right. Our Muran is so beautiful, that trash Qi Li doesn’t deserve you.”

“You’re right, Fei-ge.”

“By the way, Fei-ge, is Jia Jia and Dudu doing well?” Nan Muran changed the topic immediately.

When they talked about his wife and child, Guo Fei’s expression softened significantly. After chatting for a while, Guo Fei left for work.

Nan Muran also set off for the hillside villa with Tank in tow.

When Jia Wu saw Tank, his expression clearly brightened. “You look like a military dog.”

“My dad had someone buy it. It’s a military dog descendant. It was eliminated by the army because it was too weak when it was young,” Nan Muran didn’t hide the truth.

After patting Tank’s head, Jia Wu set it next to Bai Mei, and the two started the first lesson.

Not knowing about Nan Muran’s physical condition or true capabilities, Jia Wu had her attack directly.

Watching her attacks—decisive but clearly full of openings—Jia Wu immediately threw her to the ground. Tank lunged forward in an instant, protecting Nan Muran behind him, barking fiercely at Jia Wu.

“Tank, sit.”

Nan Muran felt a soft pang in her heart. She gently explained to Tank for a long time, and only then did Tank calm down.

“Good dog,” Jia Wu praised.

They resumed, and despite Tank being eager, it obeyed and didn’t charge again.

However, Jia Wu noticed something strange during her repeated attacks. This beautiful young woman seemed as though she had gone through countless fights, her strikes fierce and decisive, showing no hesitation or care.

As for Nan Muran, she felt like all her bones had been scattered, but the main feeling was discouragement.

In front of a real expert, her abilities couldn’t even withstand a single move. It seemed her luck had been quite good in the last world, or maybe there just weren’t many top-tier experts in this world?

Bai Mei, who had been watching, was shocked by Jia Wu’s harshness. Seeing Nan Muran’s pained expression, she couldn’t help but whisper, “Miss Nan…”

But Nan Muran didn’t let the pain get to her. She quickly got up, looking at Jia Wu across from her. “Let’s go again.”

Jia Wu nodded and prepared to continue.

The whole morning was spent with Nan Muran either acting like a child throwing tantrums in front of an adult or being thrown to the ground by a single move.

Even though she had mats laid down under her, her fair skin was still covered with purple bruises, making anyone who looked at her feel a chill.

Watching her get up again and again without hesitation, her eyes becoming more and more determined, Jia Wu started to feel somewhat satisfied. In his mind, just this tenacity was a good foundation.

“Your biggest problem is that you lack technique. Killing moves are not just about brute force, but also skill,” Jia Wu commented objectively over lunch.

Bai Mei shot him a glare, mildly complaining that he was being too rough.

“It’s fine, Bai Mei. I really am a bit useless,” Nan Muran said as she fiercely bit into a rib, secretly encouraging herself. No fear. As long as she persisted, she would definitely become stronger.

“Miss Nan, there’s some red oil over there. Make sure to apply some later, or you might not be able to sleep because of the pain tonight,” Bai Mei said, looking at the large bruises on her arm with concern.

“Bai Mei, just call me Muran from now on. Don’t keep calling me Miss Nan. It feels too distant,” Nan Muran said. Perhaps due to the great consumption of energy, she finished three big bowls of rice before stopping.

Bai Mei looked at her gently. “Alright, I’ll call you Muran from now on.”

“The villa will be fully completed tomorrow. We used all eco-friendly materials, so you can move in right away. The rooms on the first floor are for you. Since Bai Mei uses a wheelchair, it’ll be easier for her to get around. Recently, I have to run between two places, so I’m leaving Tank here. You’ll have to help take care of him when I’m not around,” Nan Muran continued.

“This isn’t appropriate. We’re fine here,” Bai Mei quickly refused, clearly in agreement with Jia Wu.

Nan Muran looked at them with a smile in her eyes. “With the two underground floors, the villa is nearly 700 square meters. I can’t live there alone. I’ll take the second floor. The third floor is for other purposes. The first floor is for you.”

“Muran…” Bai Mei still wanted to refuse.

Nan Muran directly said, “It’s not free, you know. Don’t I still need to learn from you? Jia Wu’s lesson fees should be quite high.”

“Thank you, Muran. I know you’re kind, but our situation is special, and we’ll cause trouble for you,” Bai Mei and Jia Wu were both illegally residing here. If they were connected to Nan Muran, it would surely bring her trouble once it was discovered.

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. It won’t be a problem,” Nan Muran said carelessly. The end of the world was almost here. Who still cared about that?

Before Bai Mei could say anything else, Jia Wu looked at Nan Muran and nodded. “Alright, we’ll move over. In the future, if you need us to do anything, just tell us.”

“Okay.” Nan Muran knew how serious Jia Wu’s promise was.

Afterward, Nan Muran, besides going to Shenghui and ordering meals at various high-end restaurants and five-star hotels, spent the remaining time being thrown around in the basement of the hillside villa.

After the training, her once delicate figure had become even leaner, but her whole demeanor was noticeably more spirited.

Of course, her money was running low, so she entered the space. The densely packed supplies inside gave her a sense of security.

During nearly twenty days of training, Jia Wu also realized something was off with Nan Muran.

Post-traumatic stress disorder. As a mercenary, Jia Wu was very familiar with this condition.

Fortunately, Nan Muran’s situation wasn’t too severe. She just needed some medication, and as for psychological counseling, Jia Wu thought a few more falls would do the trick.

He didn’t like students who were both incompetent and troublesome, even if they had done him a favor. Fortunately, Nan Muran was a good student.

The hillside villa had a specially planned training area in the basement, complete with a gun room and all necessary fitness facilities. Jia Wu was initially stunned when he saw the gun room but didn’t ask any questions.

During these days, Bai Mei and Tank kept the two company, watching them sweat it out.

Several times, when Nan Muran was getting beaten too badly, Tank would immediately jump in to protect her, showing his teeth at Jia Wu.

“Good dog. Knows how to protect you,” Jia Wu wasn’t angry at Tank’s fierceness. In fact, he liked the little guy’s reaction.

Nan Muran hugged Tank’s head, smiling happily.

What excited her the most was, after countless beatings, she was finally able to walk through Jia Wu’s moves. Although she still couldn’t last more than ten moves, there was progress.

Five days before the first rain of the apocalypse, while eating lunch at the villa, Nan Muran received a call from the Nan family. She was somewhat surprised. The family had been strangely well-behaved recently. Why were they calling her now?

“Nan Muran, are you crazy? You actually sold our villa!” Nan Muting’s voice was filled with despair.

After the banquet incident, both the Qi and Nan families lost face, and she became the target of everyone’s scorn.

To make matters worse, because of the video that had circulated everywhere, she had become the laughingstock of the circle. No matter where she went, she couldn’t escape the lecherous stares of men, and sometimes a few bold ones would even directly ask her for a price.

Every day, Nan Muting was on the brink of breaking down.

The only good news was that her child was still safe, and the Qi family was still willing to accept the child.
