Jiang Mengyao was about to explode in the face of the crowd’s eerie mockery and teasing words. She felt that those well-dressed people were not worthy of being their classmates at all. They were b*stards who were completely sucking up to the rich and powerful!

She reached out and grabbed Wu Mo’s wrist. Just as she was about to leave with him, a cell phone rang in Wu Mo’s pocket.

The two of them looked at each other. Jiang Mengyao blushed and immediately let go of Wu Mo’s hand.

The people who had mocked him earlier also looked at Wu Mo in confusion.

They wanted to know who would contact Wu Mo at this time.

Before everyone’s gaze, Wu Mo picked up the phone and immediately pressed the answer button.

“Hello, Wu Mo, I know your address. I’ll get the contact person from the Third MR to pick you up now.

“The drill will begin the day after tomorrow. You should go and make preparations.”

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Academician Xu.

Wu Mo’s expression turned serious as he said, “Yes, Sir!”

Soon, the call ended. Cheng Tao, who was standing at the side, was already dissatisfied with Wu Mo. He immediately said in a sarcastic tone, “What’s wrong? A call for delivery? You’ll have to tell your station chief to increase your commission by ¥1 on rainy days.”

Cheng Tao’s sarcastic words immediately set off everyone’s laughter.

The few people around him immediately held their stomachs and laughed.

“Good Lord, he’s still taking orders on a rainy day. I will not be using this platform!”

“What the f*ck? There’s even an additional ¥1 commission? it seems like Brother Tao knows a lot.”

“I’m dying of laughter. It wasn’t easy for you to become a blacksmith, yet you’re doing delivery work. I’d like to call you the great renegade.”

“Stop talking, I’m afraid I’ll really laugh out loud.”

A couple of them just watched the drama that unfolded and completely ignored Jiang Mengyao’s unpleasant expression.

They only thought that they could raise their status by trampling on the dignity of others. They did not realize that their happiness was built on the pain of others.

Jiang Mengyao was furious, and she clenched her fists.

Wu Mo, who was standing beside her, immediately tried to put her at ease. “It’s fine. Everyone’s joys and sorrows are not connected. If you explain it to them, they will think that you are guilty.

“But…”

Jiang Mengyao’s big, watery eyes were glistening with tears.

She felt extremely sad. Wu Mo’s life was already so difficult, but the students who had studied with him for three years not only offered him no help, but they even hit him when he was down and mocked him.

Even though Wu Mo did not take it seriously, those people would not let it go.

“Just treat their words as farts. No one has ever had the right to point fingers at us.”

Wu Mo wore a warm smile. Then, he took Jiang Mengyao’s hand gently and spoke with a serious expression. “But I still have to say, thank you. I’ve always remembered your care and concern for me.

“Alright, I’ll talk to you later. My liaison is coming to pick me up. I’ll see you next time!”

He looked into Jiang Mengyao’s eyes, but the latter had seemingly not recovered from all those negative emotions. Her eyes were still slightly red, and her pitiful appearance made others want to take her into their arms and comfort her.

However, another wave of emotions came before the previous one ended. Although the conversation between the two of them was very low, a few people at the side still heard it clearly.

Everyone laughed even more uncontrollably, especially when they heard Wu Mo say that a liaison would come to pick him up in a while.

“Good Lord, you don’t even need drafts when you’re bragging. You want a liaison to pick you up? Who are you? A military officer?”

“Can you understand your own situation before you brag? You’re just a dumb delivery man, but you still need someone to pick you up? Why don’t you ask a tank to pick you up?”

Qian Rong laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

He laughed at Wu Mo for not understanding the situation and the difference in status between him and the others. Wu Mo still wanted to get back at them, but he was just being stubborn.

At that moment, Qian Rong was not alone. Their surrounding former classmates were also laughing at Wu Mo. He could not find a good reason to act tough in front of others. He was a real joke.

However, while the crowd was mocking Wu Mo without restraint, a camouflaged military vehicle suddenly entered everyone’s line of sight. It appeared on the street outside Golden Age Restaurant’s entrance.

The military vehicle was more than two meters tall and more than six meters long. There was a mechanical arm on each side of the carriage, and a black gun barrel was mounted on the front of the vehicle.

Honeycomb carbon fiber tires allowed the military vehicle to move at a constant speed under all kinds of harsh conditions. Plus, most parts of the vehicle were wrapped in polymer steel plates, reflecting cold light.

Through the bulletproof glass, everyone could see the uniformed soldiers inside. Due to the vehicle’s huge body and its cannons’ dark muzzles, it gave off an invisible pressure.

The moment the military vehicle reached the end of the street, the people standing outside the hotel’s entrance immediately shut their mouths.

Everyone’s face was filled with shock and astonishment.

Could it be that this majestic military vehicle was really there for Wu Mo?

The thought flashed through Qian Rong’s mind, but he instantly killed it.

No, that was impossible.

Military vehicles of this type were only available in the military and national institutions.

Ordinary people, even six-star blacksmiths, might not be able to enjoy such a high treatment.

He, Wu Mo, was just a lousy delivery man who could not even eat his fill and had dark circles under his eyes. Qian Rong would not believe that the military vehicle was there to pick Wu Mo up even if he was beaten to death.

All of this was just a coincidence. Wu Mo was just a piece of trash that had been kicked out of the Research Department. It was impossible for him to receive such treatment.

He consoled himself in his heart, but the thought had just taken shape in his mind.

He saw a huge military vehicle with a murderous aura driving straight to the hotel.

The security guard at the gate did not dare move slowly, and he lifted the railing straight away.

Soon, the military camouflage vehicle stopped directly at the gate in front of the crowd.

Everyone was almost scared silly when they saw this.

They looked at Wu Mo with horror in their eyes.

Jiang Mengyao was still a little sad as she stood next to Wu Mo, but her mind went blank when she saw the huge creature in front of her.

Soon, the door of the camouflaged military vehicle was opened.

Two fully-armed cultivators jumped out of the front seats first.

There were four shining stars on the chests of the two cultivators’ uniforms.

Their gazes were cold, and they walked with the wind, causing a few students who were close to them to subconsciously take a few steps back.

“Two four-star cultivators… What kind of important person is sitting in the car?”

When everyone saw that a four-star cultivator had been reduced to driving, they all started to guess who the important passenger was.

Just as everyone was guessing, one of the four-star cultivators approached the back of the military vehicle. The other person then opened the door with a respectful expression.

A man in a dark green military uniform walked out.
