Chapter 1 Reunion

After Su Mo left, Tang Qin, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Council Speaker Long Ming, are you really going to process Su Mo's retirement?"

Long Ming replied with a calm expression, "Process his suspension."

"Understood, but there's something I don't quite understand. Why did you agree to let Su Mo leave?"

Tang Qin asked, puzzled. She knew better than anyone how much Council Speaker Long Ming appreciated Su Mo.

Even if Su Mo couldn't fight now, it didn't mean he wouldn't have a chance to recover in the future.

"His heart isn't here anymore, and he's already done enough for the Federation. The most important thing is that he reminds me so much of myself when I was young. I hope the Federation can become a home he trusts, not a shackle."

Long Ming said with a smile that was not quite a smile. In fact, no one knew better than Long Ming why Su Mo resigned.

......

Some time later, Su Mo appeared on the bustling streets of the Imperial City.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and subconsciously tried to turn it on.

The phone actually turned on successfully and showed that it was fully charged.

Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

"As expected of the Council Speaker's secretary, Miss Tang Qin is indeed very meticulous in her work."

At this moment, the phone buzzed.

One text message after another popped up.

Su Mo stood there, carefully reading each message, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

These text messages were basically from people he knew.

They all wished him a speedy recovery.

The most frequent sender was Qian Chengxue, with one message every day.

Although there were no particularly special words in the messages, Su Mo could clearly feel her concern and anticipation.

What surprised Su Mo was that there were also messages from Lin Zinuo.

The messages described her situation and her concern for him, even frantically asking Su Mo why he didn't reply to her.

However, at this moment, a series of overdue payment notices stunned Su Mo.

He opened them and looked.

The warehouse he rented on the Black Radiance had long expired.

"Damn, my goods!"

Su Mo's face darkened, and he suddenly remembered. Not only were his goods on it, but his two Eternal Metals were also on it.

Just then, Su Mo saw a familiar but unfamiliar message.

He opened it and saw that it was sent by Paddes.

"Dear Mr. Su Mo, the rental period for your warehouse on the Black Radiance has expired. Since we were unable to contact you, I have paid for you in advance. If you see this message, please contact me. Thank you."

Su Mo was also surprised to see this message.

He didn't expect the boss to be so nice.

So Su Mo didn't think much and dialed the phone number. Since the other party had helped him pay the warehouse fee, he must be very clear about the current situation.

Beep beep~

The phone was quickly connected, and a slightly surprised voice sounded on the other end.

"Mr. Su Mo, you saw the message?"

"I'm sorry! Mr. Paddes, I've been recuperating these years, and I just saw the message now."

"It's okay."

"That Mr. Paddes, where is the Black Radiance now? Are my goods still there?"

Su Mo asked quickly.

"Mr. Su Mo, don't worry, your goods are still in the warehouse. In addition, since the Federation is carrying out a comprehensive renovation of the Black Radiance, it is still on the space station."

Paddes explained.

"I want to ask you something, how can I get on the space station?"

Su Mo asked.

"Just go to the interstellar airport. Now every interstellar airport has special flights to and from the space station every day. However, the Black Radiance is now under control, so it's not easy to get on, but it shouldn't be a problem for you."

Paddes explained to Su Mo.

"I understand, Mr. Paddes, thank you very much for paying the warehouse fee for me. I wonder if you are free. If it's convenient for you, how about we meet at the space station?"

Su Mo suggested.

"No problem."

Paddes agreed readily.

"I'm going to the interstellar airport now, see you later."

Su Mo said very simply.

"Okay."

After Paddes agreed, he hung up the communication.

Su Mo then looked at the flying cars speeding by in the air, and was a little embarrassed for a while, showing a wry smile, how do you get a taxi?

He found that in just a few years, there was really a cognitive gap.

So Su Mo brazenly looked around, ready to stop a passerby to ask.

Soon he saw a woman in jeans, full of youthful energy, walking over.

He stepped forward to block her way, coughed and said, "Miss, can I ask you something?"

The girl in front of him saw Su Mo blocking her way, and her eyes lit up.

"Sure."

"Excuse me, how can I get a car?"

Su Mo asked with a smile.

"It's very simple, use the mobile phone app, just click it, and the flying car will automatically accept the order, it's very convenient."

The girl took out her mobile phone and enthusiastically introduced it to Su Mo.

"This software, I'll download it and try it."

"Don't bother, I'll call one for you."

"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

"No, handsome guy, let's add each other on WeChat."

The girl in front of him said expectantly.

"Cough, that's not necessary, is it?"

"It's okay."

.....

Earth Star·Star Attraction Space Station, a small transport ship slowly landed.

Not long after, a large number of passengers got off.

Su Mo was in the crowd, and he looked around the Star Attraction Space Station, his face full of shock.

The original bare space station with no buildings has now become extremely prosperous. The area outside the apron is full of bustling commercial buildings.

At this time, Su Mo's phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Paddes calling.

So Su Mo answered it.

"Mr. Su Mo, I have arrived at the Star Attraction Space Station, I am in the first waiting hall, let's meet there."

"Okay."

Su Mo replied simply, and then walked forward.

Not long after, Su Mo came to the first waiting hall.

Paddes saw Su Mo at first sight and greeted him. He said with a smile: "Mr. Su Mo, I haven't seen you in five years. I feel that your temperament is becoming more and more outstanding."

"Mr. Paddes, I haven't seen you in a few years, and your eloquence is getting better and better! Let's not talk about these, what do I need to do now to get on the Black Radiance?"

Su Mo asked with a smile.

"Come with me."

Paddes led Su Mo towards the military passage on the right.

At this time, Su Mo noticed that a waiting hall was also divided into civilian and military use.

The civilian side was very lively, while the military side seemed very empty.

There were special soldiers guarding the boundary between the two sides.

As soon as Su Mo and the others approached, they were stopped.

"Please show your credentials."

Su Mo picked up his ID card and handed it over, saying, "This is my ID. The thing is, I used to be in the GT department, and I left some things on the Black Radiance. Now I need to go up and retrieve them."

The guard soldier picked up Su Mo's ID card and swiped it through the instrument.

"Beep, permission granted."

"Please come in, sir!"

The guard officer saluted and replied.
