Su Mo was also a little surprised that the identity card still worked. But after thinking about it, Su Mo didn't find it strange.

Someone as busy as Long Ming would definitely need some time to process his discharge procedures.

He might as well take this opportunity to quickly deal with his goods.

Pades led Su Mo towards the military affairs window, saying to Su Mo along the way.

"See that officer in front? Everyone who wants to board the Ebony must be approved by him."

Su Mo took a look and was slightly stunned. Wasn't that Fan Wu from the Black and White Agency?

Fan Wu was yawning, his legs crossed on the counter, looking as comfortable as could be.

"Fan Wu."

Su Mo walked forward and called out.

"Who dares to call me by my name... Holy crap! Officer Su Mo."

Fan Wu looked at Su Mo in disbelief, almost falling off his chair.

"Don't be so excited."

Seeing an old acquaintance, Su Mo replied in a good mood.

"No, no, Officer Su Mo, why are you here?"

Fan Wu gradually calmed down and asked curiously.

"I want to board the Ebony to get something. By the way, why are you here? Aren't you doing well in the Black and White Agency?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Don't even mention it. Five years ago, the Ebony's route was leaked and attacked, and the Black and White Agency was found to be negligent. Then I was unlucky and took the fall, and was assigned here."

Fan Wu said with a sad face.

Su Mo patted Fan Wu on the shoulder and sighed, "My condolences."

"But it's not a big deal, guarding here is pretty good, less work and more peace. Officer Su Mo, you want to board the Ebony, right? I'll take you up."

Fan Wu said enthusiastically.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Su Mo replied simply.

"No trouble, no trouble, come with me."

Fan Wu replied with a beaming smile, thinking to himself that if Su Mo could say a few good words for him later, he might be able to rise again.

Others didn't know how well Su Mo was received by those Deputy Speakers, but he knew it very well.

Soon after, Fan Wu led Su Mo into the hangar area and headed towards the Ebony.

From afar, the originally dilapidated Ebony had been restored to its former glory, just like when it had first set out.

"Well repaired."

Su Mo said with emotion.

"Of course, all the damaged parts were purchased from the City of Star Ring. The Federation has money now. In the past five years, the Second and Third Expeditionary Corps have transported a large amount of supplies back from their respective resource mining planets."

Fan Wu explained the situation to Su Mo garrulously.

"That's good, by the way, how many expeditionary corps does the Federation have now?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Officer Su Mo, don't you know? Now the Federation has a total of five expeditionary corps, and the Sixth and Seventh Expeditionary Corps are also under construction."

Fan Wu replied somewhat puzzled.

"So many?"

Su Mo couldn't help but gasp. They were really rich.

An expeditionary corps would need at least a Tier 4 warship, dozens of frigates, and matching IV-generation mecha as standard equipment.

They really had no shortage of money.

"Not much, let's get on board. By the way, Officer Su Mo, what do you want to retrieve?"

"I have a batch of goods in the warehouse."

Su Mo explained.

"Don't worry, your things are definitely there. After everyone was cleared from the Ebony, Lord Li Ruiji personally ordered that no one was allowed to touch your things."

Fan Wu said with a smile.

"Then I'll go home first."

Hearing this, Su Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Okay."

Fan Wu replied quickly.

So they headed towards the upper district, surrounded by familiar buildings, but they seemed unusually quiet and empty.

Apart from the occasional patrolling soldiers, there wasn't a single other person to be seen.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo was filled with emotion for a moment, greatly missing it. Scenes from the past involuntarily emerged one by one.

"Ah~"

Soon, Su Mo arrived at his home in the upper district.

"Wait for me here for a moment."

Su Mo said to Fan Wu and the other.

"Okay!"

Fan Wu and the other nodded.

Su Mo took one last longing look at the house in front of him, regretting that the beautiful woman was no longer there. He then opened the door and walked in. The furnishings inside were still the same, but they were covered in dust.

It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.

Su Mo entered his room, rummaged around for a while, and soon found the two Eternal Metals.

He found a suitcase and put both Eternal Metals in it. He also packed some personal clothes and found the remaining 150,000 star coins.

Just as he was about to leave, he couldn't help but stop and look at Qian Chengxue's room.

So he walked over and opened the door.

Qian Chengxue's room was empty, with not much left behind.

It seemed that everything had been packed and taken away.

Just as Su Mo was about to close the door and leave, he suddenly saw something in the trash can.

Su Mo slowly walked over and took a closer look, only to find that it was a book.

He subconsciously picked it up and took a look, and when he saw the title of the book, he was slightly stunned.

《How to Capture a Man's Heart》

Author: Master Luo Liyang.

Su Mo couldn't help but twitch his face when he saw the title of the book.

He subconsciously opened the book and started reading, but the more he read, the darker his face became.

"If you want a man to like you for a long time, you must keep smiling at him, and remember not to put on a cold, aloof face. No matter what you used to be like, you must keep smiling. Put yourself in his shoes, who would like to see someone's face?"

Su Mo couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of nonsense theory is this?"

But at this time, Su Mo finally understood why Qian Chengxue seemed to smile a lot more. It turned out that the source of the problem was here.

Su Mo continued to flip through the pages.

"The thirteenth essential skill to capture a man's heart: If you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. Use delicious food to capture him and make him unable to leave you."

"Bastard!"

Su Mo slammed the book in his hand directly on the ground, his face as black as charcoal.

So all the poison he had been tasting every day was because of this thing.

It had simply screwed him over. He wouldn't let him get away with it if he ever ran into him, otherwise he would definitely beat his dog head in.

Su Mo took a deep breath to calm his turbulent heart.

He looked at the book that had been thrown on the ground, then picked it up again and continued to flip through it.

The rest were all kinds of messy methods.

The more Su Mo looked at it, the uglier his face became.

Many of the methods in it could be matched with Qian Chengxue's abnormal behavior.

Just then, Su Mo flipped to the last page and was slightly stunned.

"The ultimate skill to capture a man's heart! As the saying goes, men are naturally inclined to food and sex. When necessary, you can use your beauty to tease..."

Even milking cows had been used, and there were even various high-difficulty life-and-death fighting skills.

After reading this page, Su Mo couldn't help but slap his thigh, looking extremely remorseful.

"Oh~ What a坑爹, what a loss! Qian Chengxue had endured all the previous moves. The ultimate skill was about to be used, but he didn't even get to see it before he ended up in the hospital. What a loss..."
