Chapter 609: The Relationship Between the Chief Instructor and Gu Mang Is Exposed

Hearing that, Li Mu immediately walked over to them and crouched down to check out Tang Xiaoxiao’s inflamed wound. A frown settled on his face. “Why didn’t you say anything about your injury?”

The girl did not expect that her wound would become so serious either. Getting hurt during military training was nothing and, most importantly, the assessment was just around the corner. Training would be delayed if she went to the hospital.

“Instructor Li.” She looked at the man. “A wound this small surely won’t affect our training and assessment, right?”

The instructor returned her look. “You’re still concerned about training at this point?”

“Of course I am. Only thirteen people in our class are qualified to take part in the assessment and we don’t have any replacements,” answered Tang Xiaoxiao. She had actually gone around asking her classmates if anyone would be willing to take her place in the competition yesterday, but no one was willing to do so. They had failed a few segments, so they were afraid of getting blamed should their class lose the competition.

Seeing how obsessed she was with the competition, Li Mu ignored her and turned his gaze to Gu Mang instead. “Gu Mang, take her to the infirmary.”

Gu Mang nodded. “Okay.”

…

At the infirmary.

Gu Mang lazily leaned against the end of the bed as she watched, with her head cocked to one side, the doctor treat, disinfect, and apply medication on her roommate’s wound. Tang Xiaoxiao appeared to be in great pain during the disinfection process, for she kept picking at the edge of the bed. Once the doctor was done bandaging her wound, she looked at her injured, left hand and asked, “Will this affect my performance at the assessment tomorrow, doctor?”

The doctor placed a pair of scissors on a white plate, which he then put aside. “It’ll definitely affect your performance to some extent. As long as you pay attention to it during the competition, it won’t pose much of a problem.”

Only then was Tang Xiaoxiao’s mind put at ease. “Noted. Thank you, doctor.”

Two men walked into the infirmary right at that moment, which made her instinctively look in their direction. Walking in front was a man in a black shirt that was buttoned all the way up to the very first button, making him look neat but stern. He had exquisite features, sharp, defined contours, and an air of nobility. With the light behind him, the surroundings seemed to have blurred into the background like in a painting. Even though the man was not wearing his iconic black camouflage uniform, she recognized him at once.

That’s the chief instructor! She was so surprised to see him here she stared at him dumbly. I only got scratched by a wire. Surely it doesn’t warrant a visit from the chief instructor himself?

The doctor was equally stunned to see Lu Chengzhou. He knew that Lu Chengzhou was the young master of the Lu family and had come to their reserve base to take charge of the military training. Quickly snapping out of his daze, the doctor greeted him respectfully. “Young Master Lu.”

The man, however, looked at no one but Gu Mang ever since he entered the room. In his pleasant baritone voice, he asked, “What happened?”

Tang Xiaoxiao stared at the two ridiculously good-looking people standing together, the corners of her lips twitching as a realization suddenly hit her. What am I thinking? How can he possibly be here to visit me? Speaking of which, what’s their relationship? She felt as if she had found out some big news.

Straightening herself, Gu Mang lifted her chin in Tang Xiaoxiao’s direction. “My roommate hurt her hand, so I came here with her.”

After a moment of consideration, Tang Xiaoxiao stood at attention and saluted the man. “Hello, sir.”

Lu Chengzhou bobbed his head slightly in acknowledgment, then turned to look at Gu Mang. “Are you going back for training later?”

She cocked an eyebrow. “I’m fine with anything.”

He, thus, told her, “Come over to my office, then. I bought food for you.”

“Okay,” replied Gu Mang before she turned to face her roommate and said, “Come on. We’ll join the rest at the training ground later in the afternoon.”

Just like that, Tang Xiaoxiao followed her to Lu Chengzhou’s office in a daze. Never had she imagined that she would be able to step foot inside this place. The wood-paneled room was a vestibule and his office was located at the far end. A member from Red Scorpion’s main base was present. The man greeted the group. “Young Master Lu. Miss Gu.”

The couple nodded in acknowledgment as they made their way into the office. When they opened the door to Lu Chengzhou’s office, they found Qin Fang playing a game inside. He looked up to see his boss and Gu Mang walking into the room with an unfamiliar face behind them. When he noticed that the girl’s hand seemed to be injured, he knew that she must be the one who had gone to the infirmary. He greeted them. “Brother Cheng. Sister-in-law.”

Tang Xiaoxiao was shocked at that. Oh my god! Are they really a couple?!
