"Why are you twitching? Why are you sticking your butt up so high?"

Rick said with a sad and angry face: "I've figured it out... Instead of struggling and resisting, it's better to just deal with it and enjoy it."

Gu Ran: ...

What the hell have you figured out? You are just a chief eunuch, don't make yourself more dramatic! Do you think I want to...reward you? I can't even reward Abi!

Gu Ran said angrily: "I just want to step on your back, use the force to climb to the window, and escape through the skylight!"

Rick was stunned for a moment.

I'm thinking too hard...

"Ah... yes, yes! I thought so too. I just want you to step on my back and jump on me! Gu, please hurry up. I, I, I can't wait any longer!"

"Get ready, I'm about to start!"

"bring it on!"

Gu Ran took a deep breath, and instantly started sprinting at high speed, using the Son of Wind and violent sprint!

At this moment, Gu Ran rushed towards the wall violently like a shot arrow. When passing Rick, Gu Ran jumped into the air with one foot, stepped on Rick's back, exerted all his strength, and suddenly jumped onto the wall -

Rick screamed and fell to the ground under the powerful stomping force.

Gu Ran used the inertia of the bounce to step on the wall with both feet alternately. At the same time, he straightened his waist and abdomen and held on to the broken windowsill tightly with one hand!

The flying over eaves and walls in martial arts novels, the actual effect is like this! The broken wall and debris on the windowsill were scattered in large pieces.

Seeing that Gu Ran's hand was about to lose its footing, Gu Ran immediately used the core strength of his waist and abdomen to exert force again. His other hand continued to rush upwards, firmly grasping the steel window frame, and then his whole body jumped up and squatted steadily on the windowsill.

A close call!

"Yeah!" Rick didn't care about the pain all over his body and cheered with clenched fists excitedly.

Gu Ran also breathed a sigh of relief and squatted on the windowsill to adjust his breathing and heartbeat.

After a few seconds of simple adjustments, Gu Ran immediately took out his cell phone.

Still no signal.

It seems that we have to escape from this abandoned warehouse first.

Gu Ran carefully poked his head out from the steel window frame without glass and observed the situation outside the window.

The outside of the wall was covered with weeds, and various discarded steel parts could be vaguely seen in the weeds.

If I jump down like this, I will definitely be in great danger.

Moreover, Gu Ran was not sure whether those "professional teams" were still there.

However, it shouldn't be a problem if I slide down slowly and quietly along the wall.

Gu Ran immediately turned to Rick in the warehouse and said, "Throw my sports backpack up here."

Since we have to escape, we must bring a sports backpack. After all, jerseys, shorts, football shoes and so on are all in the sports backpack.

Rick quickly grabbed the backpack and swung it upwards with all his strength.

But it was thrown too low and Gu Ran couldn't catch it.

Gu Ran said: "Rick, it's hard for me to trust you with your behavior."

Rick's face flushed, "Gu! It was my mistake! I'm really not in the same group as Haldin! Please believe me!"

Gu Ran said: "Stop talking! Hurry up!"

Rick took a deep breath, endured the pain in his limbs, and used all his strength to drop the backpack on Gu Ran.

This time, Gu Ran reached out and grabbed the backpack.

Rick was instantly relieved, "I did it! I did it!"

Gu Ran didn't say anything more to Rick. He turned around, threw his backpack out of the window, and then watched what happened.

After waiting for more than a minute, there was no other movement outside the wall.

Obviously, the professional team got away safely after locking the door.

Gu Ran no longer hesitated, and immediately climbed over the empty window frame, preparing to slide over the wall.

Rick hurriedly said: "Gu! And me! And me!"

Gu Ran couldn't help but complain: "Can you jump up by yourself? Or can I pull you up? Go wait for me at the door."

"Okay, okay! Gu...be careful, don't get hurt!"

"Um."

This reminded Gu Ran.

If he accidentally fell and got injured while sliding down, wouldn't he also miss the first start? To be on the safe side, Gu Ran added one of the eight talent points to Iron Man: Tin Man.

I took out another two talent points and allocated them to the physical attribute.

This is double insurance.

The reason why 2 points are allocated to Constitution and 1 point to Tin Man is mainly because although Tin Man’s passive ability is useful, it does not reduce the pain, while the improvement of Constitution is comprehensive, which can not only indirectly enhance the effect of Tin Man, but also reduce the pain.

This is also the experience that Gu Ran gained when he was doing fascia knife therapy.

As a result, Gu Ran only had 5 talent points left, and Iron Body: Tin Man was stacked to +6, and his physical attribute reached 77 points.

As for the side effects, they will definitely increase significantly.

But at this time, Gu Ran didn't care about any side effects. The most important thing was to protect himself from getting hurt.

After making full mental preparations, Gu Ran took a deep breath, held onto the outer wall with both hands, pressed his body against the wall, and carefully switched hands and feet, sliding down along the wall.

Fortunately, the walls outside are uneven due to wind and sun erosion, which provides strong friction.

Finally, Gu Ran jumped down gently from a height of about 1 meter above the ground.

The ground was a little bumpy, but I finally landed safely.

Although physique and the tin man were not of much use, the result was already very good.

After Gu Ran landed, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he quickly observed the surrounding environment to confirm that there was really no one from the professional team left here and there was nothing unusual around. Then he picked up his backpack and ran quickly to the location of the Cayenne.

Obviously, the professional team did not want to cause any casualties, they simply wanted to trap them in the warehouse.

Gu Ran ran to the Cayenne and immediately checked whether the vehicle had been tampered with.

really……

All four tires of the Cayenne were punctured.

Damn! Gu Ran looked at the Cayenne lying on the ground, his heart burning with anger.

Sooner or later we have to find this professional team and make them pay the price for their “professionalism”!

But now, we still have to find a way to get out as soon as possible and go to St. Mary's Stadium.

Gu Ran turned around and headed back towards the warehouse, while thinking of a strategy in his mind.

Now the time for the game to start is getting closer and closer.

It is definitely unrealistic to want to walk to St. Mary's Stadium.

The cell phone signal is not good either. If you want to get a cell phone signal, you have to spend at least 10 minutes walking out of this desolate place.

Most of the club staff and team players have already arrived at St. Mary's Stadium. Even if they can find an area with signal and ask the staff to return from the crowded stadium area to provide support, they will probably be stuck on the city roads.

Not to mention taking a taxi.

Even if there was a signal, no taxis would come to a place like this.

What to do?

Gu Ran quickly walked to the door of the warehouse, found a stone and smashed the steel chain on the door a few times.

It's impossible to break it open!

Gu Ran simply threw the stone away and gave up on rescuing Rick who was still trapped in the warehouse.

"Rick, just stay here for now. I'll come back to save you when I find someone."

"Ah? Okay, Gu! Don't worry about me for now. The important thing is that you have to catch up with the game. You can't let that son of a bitch Haldin succeed."

"Well, I'm leaving now. I'll go find a signal first."

"Okay... Hey wait! Gu, why don't you try again? If I can go out too, wouldn't it be an extra person to help you find the signal?"

Gu Ran said without hesitation: "No, just wait for me."

After saying that, Gu Ran turned around and left, quickly returning the way he came.

The Cayenne without tires can only stay where it is.

Gu Ran walked while holding up his iPhone to look for a signal.

Foreigners' infrastructure is really poor, and there are basically no signal base stations in the wilderness.

Apple’s signal is not good either, we have to use Huawei.

Before the rebirth, it was said that Huawei's mate60pro also has a satellite phone function. Alas, I don’t know how long I have to wait before it can be launched in this life.

When I have money, I must stock up on a photolithography machine in advance...

Gu Ran kept looking for a signal for more than ten minutes before his phone finally got a signal.

And the time now is already 2:10.

It was too late to ask the head coach for help, not to mention that players and coaches were not allowed to look at their phones in the locker room before the game.

Gu Ran directly called Sir Adelaide for help.

Sir Adelaide is the owner of Hayden Manor, Evelyn's father, and a fan of home-brewed tonic wine.

He has a helicopter! At this time, only a helicopter can find this place quickly and accurately, and it can easily cross the crowded roads and fly directly to St. Mary's Stadium!

Beep, beep, beep, beep—

More than a dozen busy tones rang, but the call was not answered.

No matter how calm and composed Gu Ran was, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Gu Ran even began to consider what to do next if he really couldn't perform.

Just when Gu Ran was about to give up, the phone call was connected.

"Hi, Gu!"

There was an extremely noisy ambient sound on the other end of the phone. Sir Adelaide was almost shouting at the top of his lungs, "Haha, why are you calling me at this time? Shouldn't you be resting in the locker room? Have you found a solution to the script?"

Gu Ran said quickly: "Sir Adelaide, I'm in some trouble. I'm not in the stadium locker room now. I need you to send a helicopter to pick me up!"

Gu Ran: ...

Oh shit.

Adelaide, you actually went to watch the game? Your company is about to be split up, and you still have the heart to watch me play football?

No wonder it's so noisy around here.

Plus, the signal is so weak, it's hard to tell if you can hear what I'm saying.

Gu Ran immediately shouted, "Sir! I sent you a message! Pay attention!"

Sir Adelaide also shouted: "That's right! We must win! We must win! Listen, the whole audience is shouting your name! We are all waiting for you to come out and warm up!"

Grass……

Gu Ran yelled at the top of his voice: "Text message! Text message! Read my text message!"

This time, Sir Adelaide seemed to hear it. "What? See you? That's right! I came to see you!"

"Look at my text message! Text message————————"

"Ah? Text message? What text message?"

Gu Ran didn't waste any words, he just hung up the phone and quickly typed a text message: [Save me, Sir!] Sir Adelaide's text message was indeed quickly replied: [What's going on?] Gu Ran immediately replied: [I'm trapped outside, I need you to send your helicopter to the following address to pick me up to the stadium, quickly!] Then, Gu Ran sent his location.

For a full minute, Sir Adelaide did not respond.

After waiting for another half a minute, Sir Adelaide's text message popped up: [Helicopter has been arranged, try to stand in a conspicuous position.] Damn! The potential father-in-law is awesome!

Gu Ran suddenly felt his adrenaline surge and couldn't help but clench his fist and cheer.

Gu Ran also replied: [Thank you Sir! ] Sir Adelaide replied: [You are welcome, family! I am looking forward to your wonderful performance at St. Mary's Stadium! Remember to come to the manor to eat and drink together in the evening! ] This...

I definitely can't refuse.

Looks like I'll have to go horseback riding again tonight.

Gu Ran could only reply: [Okay! ] Next, he just had to wait patiently.

At this time, at St. Mary's Stadium, home and away fans have basically entered the stadium.

The red and white Saints flags turned this square stadium, which can accommodate only more than 32,000 fans, into a sea of ​​joy.

Die-hard Southampton fans holding season tickets occupied the north stand.

The cheers from the north stands were the loudest, and at the bottom edge of the stands was hung a giant red banner that read "There is a handsome Oriental man named Gu Ran."

There were some fans in the north stand with red and white paint on their faces and holding lit red fireworks in their hands.

The atmosphere at home is extremely strong!

The east and west stands are also the territory of Southampton fans.

Many students, teachers and parents of Southampton High School came to St. Mary's Stadium, eagerly looking forward to their hero Gu Ran's first appearance at home.

The beautiful cheerleaders of "Gu Ran Global Support Club" swung their thighs in unison and danced the Can-Can.

Elizabeth Olsen also sat down in the wives' area behind the home team's bench early, her face full of excitement.

In the main stand, all the senior executives of Southampton Club were present and seated, and major media and scouts from various clubs also sat in the back area of ​​the main stand.

Chelsea's Emenalo appeared in the main stand in a suit, holding his scout notebook full of Gu Ran's name.

He did not attend the previous match between Southampton and Liverpool. One reason was that Chelsea was also playing its first friendly match of the new season and he was too busy to attend. The other reason was that he was afraid that his visit would further stimulate Liverpool and speed up their poaching efforts.

And now, this is Southampton's home ground, so Emenalo can naturally come to watch the game without any worries.

As soon as Emenalo sat down, Manchester United's Asian regional scout Jim Lawlor came up with a smile.

"Hey, you're that...so-and-so, right?" Lawler raised his eyebrows at Emenalo.

Emenalo cursed the old man in his heart, but his face was full of kindness. "Hello, Mr. Lawler, I am Michael Emenalo from Chelsea."

Lawler did not shake hands with Emenalo, but just sat lazily next to Emenalo.

Emenalo also sat down very reluctantly.

With the cunning guy Lawler next to him, Emenalo couldn't praise Gu Ran as much as he wanted today.

It's like wearing a condom.

It feels good, but it’s also a bit unpleasant.

Lawler sighed, "I don't want to watch these low-level league rookies fight each other, but there's nothing I can do. We all want to earn a salary. I can't take a scout's salary and not watch a single game, right?"

Emenalo grinned. “Who isn’t?”

The two looked at each other and laughed, calling each other an old/little fox in their hearts.

Just then, Michael Edwards, wearing a Liverpool jacket, also came to the main stand.

Emenalo and Lawler frowned simultaneously.

Edwards also saw the two Premier League seniors and immediately came over to greet them with a smile, "Hello, I am Liverpool's deputy technical director, Michael Edwards."

Emenalo nodded cautiously to Edwards.

Lawler, however, was full of disdain. "Didn't you Liverpool just draw with Southampton? Why are you still here?"

Edwards smiled and said without disguising, "Oh, we want to recruit Gu Ran, so we need to track his performance over a long period of time."

LAWLER: …

Emenalo: ...

Edwards smiled and said, "You two should also want to poach Gu Ran, right? Hahaha, how should I put it? I am from Southampton, and Gu Ran can be considered as my fellow countryman from Southampton. I think I have more advantages than you two, so you two should just give up on this idea and stop wasting your time and energy here."

...Fuck!

Liverpool, you guys are too arrogant, right? Gu Ran is Chinese, who is your hometown? ! Lawler did not hide it and said coldly: "I once brought the Chinese Dong Fangzhuo to Manchester United. From this perspective, Manchester United is Gu Ran's hometown."

...Hey, hey, hey, you're making it even more far-fetched, okay? Emenalo adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter whether we're from the same hometown or not. I'll just tell you one thing - Gu Ran gave my daughter a gift on her birthday."

Edwards shrugged. "So what? Your club's offer is not as high as our Liverpool offer."

At this moment, Manchester City's new assistant coach David Platt came over excitedly:

"Hey, Jim! Hey, Michael! Hey...Liverpool friends!"

When Lawler and the other two saw the star player David Pratt, they were all shocked! "David? Really?"

“Why are you wearing City clothes?”

"Didn't you coach the high school team before?"

"I even watched the semi-final match where you were beaten terribly by Gu Ran!"

David Platt's face flushed. "Haha! That's all in the past. I'm an assistant coach for Mancini now. I came here today to inspect Gu Ran as arranged by the club. Of course, this is just a formality."

The other three immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Pratt immediately said, "No matter how well Gu Ran performs, we at Manchester City will poach him during the winter transfer window. Moreover, our boss is a Middle Eastern prince who is so poor that he only has money left. So if we poach Gu Ran, we will just give him a termination fee."

Lawler and the other two covered their hearts at the same time.

In today's English football world, who can be as rich as Manchester City? Even if Liverpool wants to pay the release fee to poach players, they are not as generous as Manchester City.

Lawler said, "Actually... Gu Ran is not that great. You guys at Manchester City should not get fooled."

Emenalo also said: "Mr. Lawler is right. I watch almost every game of Gu Ran - he is really not that good."

Edwards also said: "Why spend so much money to buy a grassroots newcomer? Manchester City, why don't you take a look at Torres? He is a real European golden boy!"

Pratt laughed. "I can't help it. I don't want to buy Gu Ran either, but it's not my decision. Besides, it's not much money, right? It's just a matter of His Royal Highness buying a few more barrels of oil."

Lawler and others were so angry that their teeth were itching.

At this time, the live band performance ended and the field began to clear.

The scouts and media reporters took their seats.

The players of Torquay United, wearing black and yellow match jerseys, were the first to walk out of the player tunnel and enter the field to begin adaptive warm-up.

The Torquay United fans sitting in the south stands stood up and cheered for their team excitedly.

The south stand can only accommodate 4,200 fans, but the attendance rate of Torquay United fans is only 60% to 70%.

After all, Torquay United is a very small club, and their home stadium is built in a residential community and can only accommodate 6,500 people.

It is very good that more than 2,500 fans came to today's friendly match.

The shouts of Torquay United fans were soon drowned out by the boos of Southampton Saints fans.

In the UK, there is no hypocritical friendship between fans, it's just a matter of "do it".

Every Saints fan was eagerly waiting for their rising star—Gu Ran! At the same time, in the home team's locker room.

Coach Adkins frowned, and Gu Ran's personal coach Jacob paced back and forth impatiently.

The home team was about to go out for warm-up, but Gu Ran hadn't come back yet and his phone was unreachable.

It is a very serious situation if a player disappears before the game starts.

The teammates of the Southampton team were also discussing: "What happened to Gu? Where did he go? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"If you don't come, you won't be able to warm up!"

"He shouldn't! He's usually the first one to arrive at the training base and the last to leave."

"Today is his first home starting debut! All the senior executives of our Southampton club have come to watch him play, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

Chamberlain shrugged and said enviously, "Didn't the coach say that he asked for leave at noon to make up for the commercial."

Vice Captain Walton frowned and said, "Is it the commercial with Abby? Didn't they shoot it last night?"

Priss chuckled and said, "Hey, didn't you read the Sun this morning? The content is very interesting!"

Luke Xiao widened his eyes, “I want to see it!”

Haldin crossed his arms and sneered complacently, "Humph, grassroots people are just not professional enough. He has just seen the tip of the iceberg of the world of pleasure, and he has forgotten that he is a football player! Who knows, maybe the reshoot was an excuse he deliberately made up, and he ran out to have a second tryst with Abby."

After these words were spoken, the players present shook their heads and sighed.

Coach Jacob shouted angrily: "Hardin! Don't talk nonsense! Gu Ran is not that kind of person!"

Harding raised his eyebrows arrogantly, "What else? Coach Jacob? If it was just a simple reshoot for a commercial, why hasn't he come yet? He is! A hopeless case! A rotten grass root!"
