It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

When they were almost to their apartment, the door of their apartment opened, revealing Ling Lan who opened the door excitedly. She widened her eyes in shock as she looked at the two of them. “You… why are you two like that?”

“He offended me just now so we fought.” Mu Chaoran was slightly pale in the face. He looked at similarly pale-faced Tang Ningyu while bearing with all the pain in his body, and forced a smile out.

Ling Lan was puzzled. She didn’t seem to understand why they needed to fight when they offended each other. Then, she saw Leng Hanfeng not wearing his uniform, and was only wearing a T-shirt. “Did your uniform disappear during the fight?”

“It was torn so I threw it away,” Leng Hanfeng said casually.

Ling Lan nodded. She looked as though she believed what they said. All the while thinking in the head, these people sure have a lot of money to waste.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Shaoyu felt relief when they saw how easy it was to fool to Ling Lan. Fortunately, their Little Brother Shaoyun was an innocent person, so he didn’t doubt their wounds as these wounds could not be explained by a fight.

The two of them wanted to go back to their rooms to dress their wounds. Additionally, they needed to report their findings. While they were thinking of reasons to excuse themselves, Ling Lan muttered to herself, “Brother Gu forgot about me the moment he got a girlfriend. It has been a while since he left.”

Tang Ningyu looked at Ling Lan’s sad face. He didn’t know how to explain to him. Although Gu Zhengrong was not dead, he would not be back soon.

Furthermore, his mission was almost about to end. He would have to leave this school with Mu Shaoyu soon. Tang Ningyu could almost imagine how Pei Shaoyun would react when he found out that he was tricked. For some reason, Tang Ningyu felt a stabbing pain in his heart. He only met this young man for a short while but he had already entered his heart.

If Little Brother Shaoyun entered the military in the future, he would take care of him properly. He might not be able to let him climb high up in ranks but he could ensure that he would have a smooth journey ahead of him. This was enough to repay their friendship.

Thinking about this, Tang Ningyu felt that he shouldn’t give Pei Shaoyun any false hope. He said, “Gu Zhengrong will not come back today.”

Ling Lan looked at him in surprise. She asked curiously, “Why not?”

Tang Ningyu turned to Mu Chaoran decisively. “Ask Shaoran, he was the one who told me.” He was good at finding scapegoats.

Mu Chaoran almost kneeled down. This bastard!

Ling Lan controlled her urge to laugh. She wore a look of anticipation on her face. Mu Chaoran couldn’t bear to ignore her. He gave Tang Ningyu a ‘just you wait’ sign with his hands and smiled. “Shaoyun, mature men would do something when they get bored. Your Brother Gu did that something and doesn’t have the energy to come back now.” Would Shaoyun understand what they were saying?

Ling Lan gave them a look of contempt when she heard his answer. “Is he having a one-night stand? Why did you have to explain it so complicatedly?” Then, she returned to her room and banged the door shut.

Mu Chaoran pointed at the door with his mouth agape. Then, he pointed at himself. “I was too complicated?”

Tang Ningyu nodded seriously. “Yes.”

“Tsk, how would I know that Little Brother Shaoyun knew about one-night stand…” He raised his eyebrows. “Who taught him those kinds of bad things?”

Tang Ningyu shook his head firmly. He looked puzzled. “Did you say anything strange to him?”

“Do I look stupid?” Mu Shaoyu glared at Tang Ningyu. Why would he teach his cute and innocent Little Brother Shaoyun such things?

“Gu Zhengrong!” The two of them thought about this person simultaneously. They immediately gritted their teeth. They were too soft on him just now. They should have killed him. If this person dared to appear in front of them again, they would definitely kill him. How dare he teach their Little Brother Shaoyun bad things!

Gu Zhengrong, who was waiting on the operation table for a new body, sneezed. The doctor beside him asked nervously, “Young Master Rong, how are you feeling?” If anything happened to Young Master Rong, everyone in the headquarters would die a horrible death!

“I’m fine. Continue to prepare for the surgery.” Gu Zhengrong felt that there was nothing wrong with him. He frowned and gave his order.

After some time, he started to feel uneasy. He asked, “Is Elder Hong back yet?”

“Not yet, Young Master Rong.”

Gu Zhengrong got even more uneasy. With Elder Hong’s ability, he should be able to defeat Leng Hanfeng and Meng Shaoran within a few seconds. Why wasn’t he back yet? The people sent to deal with them this time were stronger than expected. Did the Federation prepare a titled domain realm formidable warrior? Or did they prepare someone even stronger, an imperial level domain expert?

Gu Zhengrong felt a chill down his spine. If that really did happen, he needed to get his new body as soon as possible. If not, he might die here. Gu Zhengrong immediately gave his order. “We will not wait for Elder Hong. Get the material with the greatest potential here.” He wanted to wait for Elder Hong to come back because he wanted Leng Hanfeng’s body. However, from the looks of it, he had no time to wait.

“But…” The doctor wanted to say something but Gu Zhengrong interrupted him fiercely. “No buts. Start the operation immediately!”

The doctor instantly replied, “Yes, I’ll prepare for the operation immediately.”

Very soon, a body was pushed into the room. After the doctor inspected it, he said with satisfaction, “This body is not bad. Young Master Rong, what do you think?”

Gu Zhengrong lifted the sheet covering the face of the body, and a familiar face was revealed. It was Xiao Yiqiu!

After Ling Lan sneaked into the base, Xiao Yiqiu was prepared to leave the forest to get some help. However, he was unlucky. Just as he was about to leave, another guard patrolling the area found him, so he didn’t manage to escape the fate of being caught.

Xiao Yiqiu was unconscious after he was given some tranquilizers. What he didn’t know was that this would be the final moment of his life.

“It’s him? Haha, good.” Gu Zhengrong thought that his mission to infiltrate the military had failed. But, it didn’t look that way now.

“Let’s use him.” With one sentence, Gu Zhengrong had sealed Xiao Yiqiu’s fate.

Soon, the operation started.

Su Pei rushed all the way back to the school. He tried contacting Xiao Yiqiu along the way but failed. Su Pei knew that Xiao Yiqiu was in danger. He only hoped that he was caught and not dead.

Su Pei knew that he didn’t have any time to waste. He rushed to the great hall where Li Lanfeng was giving a lecture. The hall was crowded with people who he could ask help from, but Su Pei didn’t trust anyone from the school now. Hence, he didn’t create a huge commotion. He prepared to find a chance to get close to Li Lanfeng. Then, he would tell him what had happened in the forest.
