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

Chapter 1181-1190

Chapter 1181 A Joke!
Ling Yi turned to face Yan Wuyou with a dreadfully pale face. He was aware that Yan Wuyou was wealthy but he didn’t know the extent of his wealth. Even Ling Lan’s family could only be considered a seventh-rank elite family when they parted ways with the main Ling family.

A seventh-rank elite family was still an elite family but its overall situation was slightly better than an average family. The wealth of a sixth-rank elite family was something an average mind could not comprehend.

Yan Wuyou’s face turned pale after his identity was exposed. He turned to look at Ling Yi, and saw the astonishment and suspicion in his eyes. Yan Wuyou felt bitter about the lack of trust Ling Yi had for him. He gave a forced smile and said, “I’m from an elite family but my position in the eyes of the elders in my family is almost non-existent. Is there really a difference between my situation and Ling Yi’s situation? No, I’m probably worse off. At least, he still has people who are concerned about him. They will teach him physical skills and provide him with necessities. No matter how expensive the gene agent is, they will buy it for him. In the beginning, I was envious of Ling Yi. Why should a normal civilian like him be able to get things that I couldn’t?”

“Initially, I wanted to find out what his identity is, so I befriended him in order to get closer to him. Is he the illegitimate son of some elite family? Is he a young master that is hiding from his enemies?” Yan Wuyou mocked himself. “But, as time went by, I started to forget about my jealousy and accepted Ling Yi for who he is. He was just too sincere between us. He couldn’t hide his feelings. He would try and provide us with whatever we need. He never asked for repayment for the thing he had done for us too. Sometimes, I wonder how could anyone be so stupid? He didn’t even know who we truly were or what our true intentions were, but he was already willing to pour his heart out to us. This simplicity touched me. In the end, I took him as my best friend.”

“Big Leader Li, I’ve never betrayed Ling Yi. While we were talking in the room, I just lamented the fact that if I had an outstanding older brother, the Yan family’s power might have been still in my family’s control, and my life wouldn’t have been so difficult.” Yan Wuyou looked at Li Lanfeng. His eyes were filled with pain. He knew that Ling Yi would be furious when he revealed his true identity so he wanted to slowly reveal it to him. That way, he would be mentally prepared too, and the impact wouldn’t be so great. However, he didn’t expect he would have no choice but to reveal it this soon. His identity got exposed so suddenly that he didn’t know what he should do.

“Actually, if someone wants to create such coincidences, they will definitely leave traces behind. Yan Wuyou, if you want to clear your name, you must find the real betrayer.” Li Lanfeng said indifferently, “Wallowing in self-pity is not going to help you.”

“I know. It’s useless if I don’t have any evidence.” Yan Wuyou closed his eyes painfully. He carefully recalled what had happened on that day. He tried to recall the conversations between them, trying to find any traces of the betrayer.

If he had the choice, he wouldn’t want to suspect anyone of his friends. The six of them knew each other since the first year of Scout Academy. From then on, they got closer and became very good friends. After more than ten years of being together, he had already viewed them as his family members. In the past, he would feel sad at the fact that he didn’t have an older brother to rely on, but the appearance of these people made up for his lack of a brotherly figure. He had no regrets now.

He thought that he would walk to the end of his life with these people, but a betrayer appeared and ruined everything between them. This person dragged them into a deep abyss. Now, to protect himself and his innocent brothers, he must find this person. This was like asking Yan Wuyou to stab himself in his heart. It was really painful.
