367: Chapter 367 Resignation 367: Chapter 367 Resignation After hanging up the phone, Su Mo felt even more agitated and confused.

Unbidden memories rose in his mind, recalling the man’s mocking words from earlier and the harshness of Lin Zinuo’s father, which made his mood even worse.

Now, trouble had arisen back at the old home again.

At that moment, Su Mo lifted his head and saw the photo of Qian Chengxue on the forum.

His heart grew increasingly uneasy.

If he continued to stay here, there was a possibility that Qian Chengxue would persist in digging to the bottom of things, thwarting her dreams.

By that time, he would be a sinner.

Perhaps his staying here was a mistake.

He sat quietly at his workstation as colleagues gradually left one by one.

When he was the only one left, he let out a long sigh.

“Forget it…..”

As a result, Su Mo took a piece of blank paper from the drawer and began to write, quickly composing a simple resignation letter.

Looking at the completed resignation letter, Su Mo’s feelings were very complicated.

In the blink of an eye, so much time had passed at Dawn Group; he felt like he had grown a lot, and his personality had improved substantially, at least getting closer to that of a normal person.

But all good things come to an end, and it seemed like it was time for him to leave.

Staying on was meaningless; he had almost no hope of a comeback and would only hold others back.

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

A short while later, Su Mo arrived at Qian Chengxue’s office on the top floor, the door slightly ajar.

Qian Chengxue was busily reviewing documents, her expression looking much more haggard, her fair face devoid of much color.

Thump thump!

“Come in.”

Qian Chengxue said faintly, without looking up.

Su Mo walked in and stood in front of Qian Chengxue, not saying a word.

Seeing that the person who came in didn’t speak, Qian Chengxue subconsciously looked up.

Surprised to see that it was Su Mo, she asked.

“Why are you still here so late?

Haven’t you gone to rest?

Is there something you need?”

Su Mo took a deep breath, steeled himself, and then handed over the resignation letter.

“Sister Xue, I want to resign.”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Qian Chengxue’s heart fluttered, and she froze for a few seconds before regaining her senses and asking.

“Why the sudden decision to resign?

Are you uncomfortable in the logistics department, has someone been talking behind your back?”

“No, no, there’s some urgent business at home I need to attend to, and well, I’ve been ‘killed off’ in the game, so I really don’t have much to do here and thought of resigning.”

Su Mo quickly explained.

After listening to Su Mo’s explanation, Qian Chengxue fell silent for a few seconds and then said, “Did you hear something that’s worrying you?

Rest assured, I know my limits.

I’m not blindly staying in the toxic mist to attempt rescue, and you don’t need to resign over this.”

“No, it’s really a family matter, and I’m in a rush to get back.”

Su Mo didn’t know why, but even though he was telling the truth, he felt a lack of confidence.

Qian Chengxue naturally didn’t believe it either.

If she remembered correctly, Su Mo had mentioned he was an orphan with no one left in his family.

What kind of family matter could he possibly have?

It was clearly just a pretext; he must have heard about her decision to stay in the toxic mist and wanted to persuade her by this means.

“Su Mo, you have to trust me, I’m quite confident that I can rescue you; don’t leave just yet.”

Qian Chengxue bit her lip, her expression incredibly complex as she spoke, the first time she had ever tried to persuade someone to stay.

Su Mo gave a bitter smile and shook his head in response, “I really do have something to take care of.”

Seeing Su Mo’s insistence, Qian Chengxue felt increasingly conflicted, and for some reason, a sense of sadness washed over her.

For a while, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere became exceptionally heavy.

After a pause, Qian Chengxue broke the silence, “I understand.

I’ll approve it.

But don’t worry, I won’t give up the rescue that easily.

Listen to me, wait just a few more days, and there will be a turnaround.”

When Su Mo heard Qian Chengxue’s response, he didn’t know why, but he didn’t feel any joy, just more complicated emotions.

He wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t utter them, eventually only managing to force out a few difficult words.

“Thank you, I’m off.”

Qian Chengxue watched Su Mo leave, feeling inexplicably distressed, as if an emptiness had set in.

…

Elsewhere, after leaving the office, Su Mo walked on the bustling streets, taking in the familiar streetscape around him.

From initially feeling out of place, he had, without realizing it, grown accustomed to everything in the vicinity.

He wandered alone for a long time, then finally took out his mobile phone and dialed a call.

The call connected quickly, and Sun Duoxiang’s sycophantic voice came through the phone.

“Big brother, what can I do for you?”

“Nothing in particular, are you free?”

“If you’re asking, I have to make time even if I’m not free.”

“Gather Lan Xi and the others, let’s have some supper together.

I’ll send you the address later.”

“What’s the occasion today?

Big brother, you’re actually treating us to a meal.

Could it be that there’s some good news?”

Sun Duoxiang asked, bubbling with excitement.

“Don’t ask so many questions.”

“Got it, no problem!”

“That’s it.”

After Su Mo hung up the phone, he looked around and entered one of the more upscale restaurants.

The central area of Imperial City was never short of good food, provided one’s wallet was thick enough.

Shortly after, in a quiet private room.

Su Mo had already ordered a full table of sumptuous dishes and a box of fine wine.

The door was soon pushed open, and Sun Duoxiang, Lan Xi, Zhang Hao, and Ma Ke walked in, laughing and talking.

“Wow, this is lavish!

Big brother, do you have some good news today?”

Lan Xi was also very curious and asked.

“Su Mo, is there any special reason for today?”

Su Mo opened a bottle of red wine, poured five glasses, and said calmly, “Let’s call this a farewell dinner.

I’m leaving Imperial City.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Sun Duoxiang and the others froze on the spot, looking at Su Mo in disbelief.

“Big brother, you’re not joking, right?

How could you suddenly leave?

Aren’t you still at Dawn Group?”

“I’m not joking, I’ve just resigned.”

“Why?”

Lan Xi asked, puzzled.

“Partly because there’s something going on back home that I need to attend to, and also, I’ve been ‘killed in action.’

Su Mo handed out the poured glasses of wine to the four.

At the mention of ‘killed in action,’ Sun Duoxiang and the others all wore expressions of disbelief.

They could never have imagined that Su Mo would ‘die’—in their eyes, Su Mo had always been the strongest amongst them.

His ‘death’ was simply unfathomable, more shocking than if they had perished themselves.

“Big brother, you’re just messing with us, right?

How could you possibly have been ‘killed’?”

Sun Duoxiang laughed stiffly, stammering as he spoke.

“Yeah, how could you be ‘killed in action’, Su Mo?

If anyone is going to die, it should be one of us first.”

Zhang Hao and Ma Ke joined in the conversation.

Lan Xi, on the other hand, bowed her head.

She could sense that Su Mo wasn’t joking.

“I’m telling the truth.”

Su Mo said, his expression serene.
