Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce
Chapter 97 - 101 six hours

Chapter 97: 101 six hours

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The door of the President’s Office closed.

Wen Nian leaned back in the President’s chair, the six computers set up to his right and in front of the desk were synchronized with the task monitoring screens of the Xilin Military District Command Center.

Each computer displayed twenty surveillance images. Wen Nian glanced over them and quickly located the figure he was looking for amidst the many screens...

From the moment she boarded the train to Xilin alone, registering for the Xilin Military Region’s entrance exam under a pseudonym, to now participating in the selection process for officer candidates...

Song Lili’s every step had surprised him.

Twenty years of acquaintance couldn’t fully introduce him to this woman.

This filled Wen Nian with both astonishment and a sense of curiosity and novelty.

Qu Yu thought that the selection process for officer candidates was specially arranged for Song Lili, but that was not the case. The officer candidate selection was one thing; Song Lili was another.

He wouldn’t pull strings for her.

He also knew that even the seemingly easy-going Song Lili of the past had a backbone of integrity, just like her father.

Let alone the Song Lili of now, with a look of determination in her eyes.

Having chosen this path, she was prepared to walk it on her own merits.

A fifty-seven-kilometer trek, over a period of seventy-two hours, and six hours had already passed.

By half-past ten in the morning, most had already crossed the summit of Luoshu Mountain, descending from the western side, and Song Lili and Lin Xinglan were no exception. The way down from the summit to the waist of the hill was fine, but from the waist down, the temperature got hotter and hotter, leaves offered some shade, but the air was stifling.

After six hours of unbroken travel, some of the students who hadn’t undergone physical training had already developed sore legs.

Song Lili’s pace was both brisk and steady. Lin Xinglan could keep up at first, but it became harder as they went on until she grabbed hold of Song Lili,

"Xiao Hua, let’s... let’s take a break!"

Song Lili’s face was dripping with sweat down her cheeks, her face flushed and burning from the heat. She looked up as the dazzling sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves.

She checked the time, then looked at the map in her hands, and said to Lin Xinglan,

"We can’t rest now."

"What??"

Lin Xinglan looked at her with a face of shock and despair and said, "Tang Xiaohua, you’re not using this as revenge, are you? Revenge for when you had to run laps around the field under the scorching sun because of me..."

"Save your strength. We’ll rest after another hour and a half."

"Tang Xiaohua! You’re totally doing this on purpose! I won’t go with you any longer!"

Lin Xinglan suddenly threw a fit!

"I’ve reached my limit. If you want to go, go by yourself!"

"Alright, then I’ll go on my own."

Song Lili said and continued walking, the luggage now on her back.

Lin Xinglan watched as Song Lili walked forward without slowing down, bit her lip, stamped her foot in anger, and with stiff legs, she hurried after her,

"How can you be so heartless, woman! Can’t we even take a short break..."

"We can’t now. From noon until three in the afternoon is when the sun is most ferocious. If we rest now, we’ll get stuck on Rock Peak during that time, without the shelter of trees, walking on rocks heated to blazing hot; it would be several times more unbearable than now, and I wouldn’t have the confidence to make it across, let alone you..."

"What do you mean by ’let alone me’? Tang Xiaohua, don’t get too cocky!"

Song Lili chuckled and suddenly quickened her pace. Lin Xinglan followed behind, both angry and annoyed!

These two figures, one after the other, caught the eyes of so many...
