Chapter 703: Chapter 565 Outrageous_2
Under the bed in the bedroom, Su Mo pricked up his ears to listen to what Ye Tian was saying.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face, so it was no wonder that the more rumors spread, the more preposterous they got.
Today, he had witnessed it firsthand, Spade had clearly told them that the resources in that part of space were extremely scarce. If they couldn’t find the ruins of the Titan Clan, they might very well return empty-handed.
Yet here, it had turned into rumors of that region of space being rich with resources. Wasn’t that just nonsensical?
However, after giving it some thought, Su Mo felt that he couldn’t blame Ye Tian and the others for the misinformation. The true purpose of the exploration definitely couldn’t be disclosed, but since the exploration wasn’t a secret, people naturally began to fill in the blanks with their imaginations.
On the other side, after listening to what Ye Tian had said, Qian Chengxue also fell silent.
Seeing that Qian Chengxue didn’t speak, Ye Tian let out a sigh before continuing.
“This matter is really important to the family. The family needs this opportunity. Usually, Wang Hai handles such matters, and the family could probably fight for a chance. But there was a problem this time. I heard Su Mo is in charge of leading Team Z, so I hope you could help persuade him, let us tag along.”
Qian Chengxue, hearing her father’s plea for the first time, felt like a jar of mixed spices had been smashed open inside her, feelings of various flavors overwhelming her, inadvertently making her uncomfortable.
Then she replied softly, “I understand, Father. I will talk to Su Mo about this and try my best to fight for it.”
Although Qian Chengxue had promised to help, she hadn’t outright agreed to it. After all, it was something that needed Su Mo’s approval, and she hadn’t assumed anything on her own.
“That’s all I needed to hear. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving now.”
Ye Tian responded calmly.
Qian Chengxue personally escorted Ye Tian out.
Soon, as they reached the doorway, Ye Tian turned to look at Qian Chengxue with a complex expression and said, “Take good care of yourself while you’re out here alone.”
After saying his piece, Ye Tian left without looking back, and he never mentioned anything about Qian Chengxue returning home.
And this time, he came alone, probably because he feared others would find out.
Qian Chengxue watched Ye Tian’s retreating figure and momentarily stared blankly, feeling an inexplicable sadness.
Not long after, Qian Chengxue closed the doorway and returned to her room, then called out,
“Su Mo, it’s safe now.”
At this, Su Mo crawled out from under the bed, awkwardly asking, “I wasn’t discovered, was I?”
“No, you probably weren’t. Su Mo, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
Qian Chengxue responded, her expression downcast.
“Are you talking about the Ye Family tagging along? That’s not a problem.”
Su Mo replied directly, having heard everything.
Qian Chengxue looked up at Su Mo with astonishment and said, “You’re not even going to think about it? What if it’s not appropriate?”
“What’s inappropriate? I can make decisions on this sort of thing myself. It’s a trivial matter, don’t worry about it. However, there is one issue.”
Su Mo responded with a smile.
Qian Chengxue quickly asked.
“Did your father get something wrong? Although this is an exploration mission, that part of space is quite barren, basically with no resources, right?”
Su Mo had agreed, but still felt it necessary to make things clear.
“That’s unlikely, right?”
Qian Chengxue was surprised after hearing Su Mo’s words. Wasn’t this exploration sought after by everyone? Otherwise, why would so many people be scrambling for a piece of the action?
Su Mo hesitated for a moment and then whispered to Qian Chengxue, “Some things I shouldn’t really tell you, but I’ll let you know privately. Don’t spread this around. The purpose of this exploration is to find the ruins of a destroyed race. If we find it, naturally there will be rewards, but if we don’t, we will indeed return empty-handed. This matter is absolutely confidential.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Qian Chengxue was touched after hearing this, as Su Mo was willing to confide such matters to her.
“Well, I’ll go finish my breakfast.”
Su Mo walked towards the dining table with ease. Since Qian Chengxue had prepared breakfast for him, he had to finish it and not waste it.
He sat back in his chair and just picked up the cup filled with milk, preparing to drink.
That’s when Qian Chengxue also walked over, her face slightly blushed with courage as she said, “Su Mo, since you can’t go back to your dormitory lately, why don’t you just move in with me?”
Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s hand trembled, and he almost spilled the milk, but he immediately responded calmly, “Sure.”
Of course, that was only on the surface. Inside, Su Mo was in a flurry of panic, his heart racing.
Seeing that Su Mo had agreed, Qian Chengxue also secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had been a little worried he would refuse.
Just then, a ringtone sounded.
Su Mo picked up the phone and glanced at it, slightly startled. Why would Sun Duoxiang be calling him so early?
He then answered the call.
“Hey Boss, are you free at noon? I’d like to treat you to lunch.”
Sun Duoxiang said awkwardly.
“We just had dinner last night. Why invite me out now? If you have something to say, then say it. If you have to fart, then just fart.”
Su Mo asked, puzzled.
“Ahem, is it true that you’re the team leader?”
“Isn’t that stating the obvious?”
Su Mo’s head started to ache.
“No, no, I’m not questioning you. It’s just that… Are we short on people, or should I bring some more?”
Sun Duoxiang asked somewhat embarrassedly.
Su Mo immediately sensed where the problem lay.
“Speak plainly. Who are you trying to do a favor for?”
“Well, it’s . The Lin Family has asked me to relay a message; they want to be a part of this operation too. Plus, they’re willing to give you thirty percent of the profits. I really had no other choice; I had to show Lin Ming some respect, right?” Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novelꞁire.net
