Chapter 1 The More Anxious He Became

Su Mo hung up the phone, his heart even more agitated and chaotic.

Memories involuntarily surfaced in his mind, the taunting words of the man just now, and the words of Lin Zinuo's father, making his mood even worse.

Now something was happening back at his old base.

At this moment, Su Mo looked up again at Qian Chengxue's photo on the forum.

His heart felt even heavier.

If he continued to stay here, Qian Chengxue might continue to dig to the bottom, ruining her dream.

At that time, he would be a sinner.

Maybe him staying here was a mistake.

He sat quietly at his workstation, his colleagues leaving one after another.

When he was the only one left, he sighed deeply.

"Forget it..."

So Su Mo took out a blank piece of paper from the drawer and wrote on it. A simple resignation letter was written.

Looking at the written resignation letter, Su Mo's mood was very complicated. In the blink of an eye, he had been in Dawn Corporation for so long. During this time, he felt that he had grown a lot, and his personality had improved a lot, at least getting closer to a normal person.

However, all good things must come to an end. Calculating the time, it was time for him to leave. There was no point in staying any longer. He basically had no hope of revival, and staying would only hold people back.

Su Mo stood up, took the resignation letter, and left.

A moment later, Su Mo arrived at Qian Chengxue's office on the top floor. The door was ajar.

Qian Chengxue was busy approving documents. Her expression seemed much more haggard, and her fair face didn't have much color.

Knock knock!

"Come in."

Qian Chengxue said faintly without raising her head.

Su Mo walked in, stood in front of Qian Chengxue, and didn't speak.

Seeing that the person who came in didn't speak, Qian Chengxue subconsciously raised her head. Seeing that it was Su Mo, she was slightly surprised.

"It's so late, why haven't you gone back to rest? Is there something wrong?"

Su Mo took a deep breath, made up his mind, and handed over the resignation letter.

"That, Xue-jie, I want to resign."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Qian Chengxue's heart trembled slightly. She was stunned for a few seconds before recovering and asking.

"Why do you suddenly want to resign? Are you not comfortable in logistics? Did someone say something behind your back?"

"No, no, something happened at my home and I have to rush back. Besides, I've already been killed in action (zhenwang le), and there's really nothing to do, so I'm thinking of resigning."

Su Mo quickly explained.

After listening to Su Mo's explanation, Qian Chengxue was silent for a few seconds and said, "Did you hear something? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I didn't blindly stay in the poisonous fog to rescue you, and you don't have to resign because of that."

"No, it's just that something really happened at home, and I'm in a hurry to go back."

Su Mo didn't know why, but even though he was telling the truth, he felt so unconfident.

Qian Chengxue naturally didn't believe it. If she remembered correctly, Su Mo had once said that he was an orphan and didn't have any family. What could be happening at home? It was clearly just an excuse. He must have heard that she stayed in the poisonous fog to rescue him and refused to leave, so he was thinking of persuading her in this way.

"Su Mo, you have to believe me. I have a certain degree of confidence in rescuing you. Don't leave yet."

Qian Chengxue bit her lip lightly, her expression very complicated. This was the first time she had ever tried to persuade someone to stay.

Su Mo gave a wry smile. He shook his head and replied, "I really have something to do."

Seeing Su Mo being so insistent, Qian Chengxue's mood became even more complicated. She didn't know why, but she felt a trace of sadness.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became unusually heavy.

After a while, Qian Chengxue spoke, breaking the silence, "I understand, I approve it. But don't worry, I won't give up on the rescue so easily. Listen to me and wait a few more days, everything will turn around."

Hearing Qian Chengxue's reply, Su Mo didn't know why, but there was no joy at all, and his mood was even more complicated. He wanted to say something, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth. In the end, he only managed to squeeze out a few words with difficulty.

"Thank you, I'm leaving."

Qian Chengxue watched Su Mo's departing back, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable, as if something was empty.

......

On the other side, Su Mo left the office and walked on the bustling street, looking at the familiar street scene around him.

From the initial discomfort, he had unknowingly become accustomed to everything in this neighborhood.

He wandered alone for a long time, and finally picked up his phone and made a call.

Soon the call was connected, and Sun Duoxiang's flattering voice rang out from the phone.

"Big Brother, what are your orders?"

"No orders, are you free?"

"Big Brother, if you say so, I have to be free even if I'm not."

"Call Lan Xi and the others to have a late-night snack together. I'll send you the address later."

"What's the special occasion today, Big Brother? You're actually treating us to dinner. Is there something good going on?"

Sun Duoxiang asked excitedly.

"Don't ask so much."

"Got it, no problem!"

"That's it."

After Su Mo hung up the phone, he looked around and found a relatively high-end restaurant to go into. The central area of the Imperial Capital had no shortage of delicious food, of course, provided that the wallet was thick enough.

Not long after, in a quiet private room.

Su Mo had already ordered a table full of sumptuous delicacies, as well as a case of good wine.

The door was soon pushed open, and Sun Duoxiang, Lan Xi, Zhang Hao, and Make walked in, chatting and laughing.

"Wow, so sumptuous, Big Brother, is there something happy happening today?"

Lan Xi was also very curious. She asked.

"Su Mo, is today a special day?"

Su Mo opened a bottle of red wine, poured five glasses, and said calmly, "This meal can be considered a farewell meal. I'm leaving the Imperial Capital."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Sun Duoxiang and the four of them were stunned in place, looking at Su Mo with disbelief.

"Big Brother, you're not joking, are you? How could you suddenly leave? Aren't you still in Dawn Corporation?"

"Not joking, I just resigned."

"Why?"

Lan Xi asked puzzled.

"On the one hand, something happened at home, and I have to rush back. Also, I've been killed in action (zhenwang le)."

Su Mo handed the poured glasses of wine to Lan Xi and the other three, one by one.

Hearing the word "killed in action" (zhenwang), Sun Duoxiang and the others all had an expression of disbelief. They never thought that Su Mo had actually been killed in action (zhenwang le). In their hearts, Su Mo had always been the strongest existence. Killed in action (zhenwang le)?

This was simply unbelievable, even more shocking than if they had died themselves.

"Big Brother, you're teasing us, right? How could you possibly be killed in action?"

Sun Duoxiang smiled stiffly and said stammeringly.

"Yeah, Su Mo, how could you be killed in action (zhenwang), we should be the ones to die first."

Zhang Hao and Make also said.

Lan Xi couldn't help but lower her head. She could feel that Su Mo wasn't joking.

"I'm telling the truth."

Su Mo's expression was very calm.
