Sorry, I'm Late

Bang!

Gu Chenan was sent flying by the impact, crashing into the corner of the warehouse. His back slammed hard against the wall, causing him to immediately cough up blood.

"Chenan!"

"Young Master Gu!"

The three female protagonists cried out in alarm, their expressions filled with undisguised worry.

The situation was clear to all three of them now - Gu Chenan was no match for both Cao Mang and Lin Yu.

Realizing that Gu Chenan had come alone to save them, the three women felt overwhelming guilt and sorrow welling up inside them.

If only... if only they had been more careful, they wouldn't have been kidnapped by Lin Yu, but now...

"Chenan, you... you should leave quickly, don't worry about me!" Su Qianmo called out loudly to Gu Chenan, tears welling up in her eyes.

However, Gu Chenan couldn't hear her at all right now. His entire body was in agony, and his head was spinning.

[Damn it, am I going to have to start over again?]

Gu Chenan wiped away the blood and struggled to get up, but after several attempts, he simply couldn't stand. Every time he exerted force, a piercing pain shot through his ribs.

[Shit, that full-force kick from Cao Mang broke my ribs. If I use any strength, the broken bones will stab into my internal organs!]

"Be careful, this Gu Chenan is quite skilled," Cao Mang warned Lin Yu from a short distance away. If he hadn't intervened earlier, Lin Yu would certainly have been killed by Gu Chenan's steel pipe.

"Yes," Lin Yu nodded numbly, still overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of fear.

If Cao Mang had been even a second late in acting, he might have already had his skull cracked open!

"Go on, tie up Gu Chenan and proceed with the plan," Cao Mang turned around, picked up some rope, and tossed it to Lin Yu.

That kick just now had been delivered with Cao Mang's full strength, and it had caught Gu Chenan completely off guard.

After taking such a blow, there was no way Gu Chenan could be unscathed.

Lin Yu took a moment to calm himself, pushing away the lingering fear in his heart before approaching Gu Chenan.

He looked down at Gu Chenan with a sense of superiority, smirking, "Gu Chenan, you're going to die today, no doubt about it."

Gu Chenan struggled for a moment before finally managing to stand up. At the same time, he could clearly feel his broken ribs piercing into his spleen!

However, he didn't show any sign of pain. He merely reached up to smooth his disheveled hair, wiped away some blood, and looked at Lin Yu with disdain, coldly snorting, "Next time, I'll definitely kill you!"

Hearing this, Lin Yu was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Next time? Do you think you're playing a video game where you can reload a save file after dying?"

"I think Brother Cao must have hit you so hard you've lost your mind!"

Gu Chenan ignored Lin Yu's mockery, his gaze moving past him to rest on the three female protagonists.

He understood that at this point, the situation was irreversible. His chances of survival today were slim. Even if Lin Yu and Cao Mang didn't make a move, his internal organs had already been punctured. Without immediate medical attention, he feared...

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "Qianmo, Yutian, Little Tang, I couldn't protect you, but I swear that next time, this won't happen again."

As he said this, he fought against the constant pain wracking his body and added with a bitter smile, "The next time we meet, I'll make it up to you."

[I'm exhausted. Let's just end this, start over, just finish me off already. It hurts like hell.]

[I failed like this last time too, and now I've met the same fate again.]

[But there's a first and second time, there won't be a third or fourth... Next time, maybe I should just be the villain all the way through. It's better not to get involved with any of these female leads...]

[Forget it, I won't think about that now. Hmm, let me think, the first scene after starting over is kidnapping Su Qianmo, oh right...]

After hearing Gu Chenan's words and inner thoughts, the three female protagonists suddenly understood.

So, this had already happened twice!!!

And, Gu Chenan was actually saying in his heart that next time he wouldn't get involved with any of the female leads...

"No, that's not right!"

"Su Qianmo, you need to know how much Chenan has done for you. If there is a next time, I hope you'll remember all of this. At least don't treat Chenan like that!"

After admonishing herself internally, Su Qianmo inched closer to Gu Chenan, raising her tear-filled eyes, "Chenan, no matter how many times it takes, I will always love you!"

"Young Master Gu, don't think like that!" Bai Yutian also cried out.

Tang Yunjin bit her lip and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but due to her lack of official status, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Well, well, what a touching scene of parting," Cao Mang commented sarcastically from the side.

Lin Yu, upon hearing the words of the three women, was also grinding his teeth in anger.

Damn it, Gu Chenan was on the brink of death, and they were still so devoted to him!

What was so great about him anyway?!

At this moment, Gu Chenan's arms were swollen and covered in bruises, his back was in agony, and every breath felt like it was tearing him apart. Three of his broken ribs had pierced his internal organs.

The fight with Cao Mang had already pushed him to his limits, and then he had been caught completely off guard by Cao Mang's full-strength kick during his scuffle with Lin Yu.

Combined with his internal injuries, the situation was extremely critical.

Snap! Snap!

Lin Yu pulled the rope taut, producing a crisp sound.

"Gu Chenan, now I'm going to show you the scene you least want to see!"

He smiled lecherously, stepping towards Gu Chenan and beginning to wrap the rope around him.

[Sigh, even the way he's tying me up is exactly the same as last time.]

[Come to think of it, I could have brought a lot of elite fighters with me, but for the sake of the three women's safety, I came alone.]

[Sigh, that's so unlike me, isn't it?]

[But to disregard the safety of the three women and bring people directly... I just couldn't bear to do it!]

[Stop overthinking. I'll close my eyes, open them again, and I'll be a new man!]

At this point, Gu Chenan had completely relaxed, even beginning to review the plot of the original novel in preparation for the next iteration.

"Well, well, not even moving, courageously facing death. You're a real man."

Lin Yu tied a knot behind Gu Chenan's back and dusted off his hands, speaking mockingly.

As he spoke, he grabbed the end of the rope and began dragging Gu Chenan towards the three women.

At this moment, both Cao Mang and Lin Yu were filled with excitement.

Gu Chenan was finally going to die!

However, just as the two were feeling triumphant!

A black spike suddenly shot through the air, instantly severing the rope!

Lin Yu and Cao Mang were startled and quickly turned around.

They saw a black figure glide through the air, landing beside Gu Chenan with an extremely elegant and dignified posture.

"Ho... Hoshino Kannon?!"

Seeing this, both men's eyes widened in shock!

"And me!"

At the same time, another figure arrived with lightning speed, also taking a position next to Gu Chenan.

This figure was petite with a charming face.

She used her finger to brush aside a stray lock of hair, looking at Gu Chenan and saying, "Sorry we're late."

Lin Yu and Cao Mang's pupils dilated, their expressions filled with terror.

"Ch... Chief!"
