"What kind of flowers would you like, sir? Are they for a friend, lover, or elder?"

Zhu Wen asked, perking up.

"For a friend, I suppose. What kind would be good? Can you recommend something?"

"Certainly. Baby's breath, gladiolus, and sunflowers are all excellent choices..."

"Hmm, not bad. But I'm not very good at picking them out. Why don't you choose for me, Miss Zhu Wen? What do you like?"

Su Mo thought for a moment before speaking.

"Why are you asking her what she likes? Can't you see for yourself?"

The young man standing beside her couldn't help but interject. He felt like this guy was just trying to pick her up. He wasn't really there to buy flowers, but to poach her.

"Wu Wei, don't talk nonsense. I'm sorry, sir. Personally, I think sunflowers are nice. They symbolize sunshine and can bring warmth and help you out of the darkness. We're having a sale on them right now, so the price is very good."

Zhu Wen said apologetically.

"That's true, they are quite nice. Miss Zhu Wen, you truly are a warm person. Do you run this flower shop by yourself?"

"No, I run it with my mother. Recently, something happened at home, and my mother isn't feeling well, so I'm in charge."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Then I'll take the sunflowers."

Su Mo replied apologetically.

"Okay, I'll wrap them up for you."

Zhu Wen immediately got up and went inside the shop.

Wu Wei stared intently at Su Mo, looking very wary. He couldn't help but say, "Buddy, there's such a thing as first come, first served."

"Sir, I don't know what you're talking about."

Su Mo replied casually, not really paying attention to him.

"Hmph, no need to pretend."

Wu Wei had already silently added Su Mo to his list of enemies.

Before long, Zhu Wen came out, holding a wrapped bouquet of sunflowers.

"How much?"

Su Mo asked.

"One star coin."

Zhu Wen replied.

Su Mo took out his phone and paid, then took the sunflowers and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Then Su Mo left with the flowers.

Seeing Su Mo walk away, Wu Wei immediately complained, "Zhu Wen, I'm telling you, that kid looks like a gigolo. He's definitely not a good person. He's just trying to get close to you. Don't fall for his tricks."

"Wu Wei, don't say that."

Zhu Wen said, sounding dejected.

"Zhu Wen, don't be sad. I'm here for you..."

.....

In a corner of a street in the distance, Su Mo stood quietly, gazing at the unremarkable flower shop.

Time passed slowly.

Soon it was evening, and the Black耀 (Hei Yao) automatically adjusted the brightness of the environment system, and night gradually fell.

Su Mo stood in the distance, still gazing.

He saw Wu Wei diligently helping to move the flowers displayed outside.

Soon the flower shop closed.

Zhu Wen said a simple goodbye to Wu Wei and walked alone toward the upper city district.

Su Mo followed her from a distance.

After a long time, Su Mo followed Zhu Wen to a residential area. Zhu Wen entered a building, went up to the third floor, opened the door to an apartment on the west side, and went inside.

Bang~

The door closed again.

Then Su Mo walked up, knocked on the door, and placed the sunflowers he was holding on the ground, with twenty thousand star coin vouchers and a card on top.

After doing all this, Su Mo put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

Not long after, the door opened.

"Who is it?"

Zhu Wen asked, puzzled.

The hallway was empty. Just as she was about to close the door, she suddenly saw the sunflowers on the ground and the star coin vouchers on top. She was slightly stunned.

She picked up the flowers and the card.

"May the sunflowers warm you like your father did. Respectfully yours."

Zhu Wen's eyes immediately turned red, and tears fell continuously.

"Zhu Wen, who is it?"

A tired voice sounded from inside the house.

"No one, just a friend of father's."

......

On the other side, Su Mo walked with his hands in his pockets, strolling through the upper city district.

He was a little touched. The sacrifice of each companion inevitably caused a tragedy for a family. It was unavoidable.

The vast starry sky was not just beautiful, but also cruel.

Just then, Su Mo suddenly saw a few familiar figures. He quickly hid behind a trash can in a nearby alley.

He saw a group of young men and women dressed in fashionable clothes, surrounding a few figures and walking this way, chatting and laughing.

"Brother Ye Wuhen, Brother Xiao Jie, you guys are really amazing."

"We were worried about you before."

.....

"It's nothing. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe."

Ye Wuhen replied with a smile.

"That's right, we didn't commit any crimes."

Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"That's what we thought too. That Lin Ming is really going too far. No matter what, we're still relatives. He's being so unreasonable, trying to kill you."

"That's right, he's going too far."

......

Ye Wuhen said with a magnanimous expression: "Don't say that. Brother Lin Ming probably misunderstood. It's all a misunderstanding. He didn't mean to target us. To be honest, we were also a little at fault, so we can't blame him."

"How could there be any fault? If there was any fault, how could Brother Ye Wuhen and Brother Xiao Jie not only be okay, but also get promoted?"

"That's right."

......

"It's all small things. How about this, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat all my brothers and sisters to a gathering?"

Ye Wuhen said with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

......

Soon Ye Wuhen and the others walked away.

At this time, Su Mo walked out of the alley, looking at the backs of Ye Wuhen and the others as they left.

His brows were furrowed. He was also very surprised. Zhang Bi was acting like she was going to die yesterday.

Today the style has changed drastically. These guys were not only acquitted and released, but they also seemed to have been promoted.

Su Mo originally thought that Lin Ming's actions would kill them, or at least make them lose a layer of skin.

It seems that he still underestimated Ye Wuhen and the others.

To be honest, Su Mo was in a very unhappy mood at the moment. It's not that he had to go against them. In fact, it was easy for Su Mo to forgive them, but who had the right to forgive these guys on behalf of the companions who were killed back then?

Su Mo's expression changed for a while. In the end, he decided to endure it for now and find a chance to figure out what was going on.

.....

The next morning, Su Mo came to Hangar L9.

It was even more lively here than before, with ships returning from missions and ships about to set sail everywhere.

Everyone's faces were filled with excitement. Nothing was more exciting than profit.

"Boss."

A shout came from not far away.

Su Mo turned his head and saw Sun Duoxiang running over with Zhang Hao and the others.

"Boss, you're here. Can we set off now?"

Sun Duoxiang couldn't wait to ask as soon as he ran up.

Su Mo stood there and thought for a moment, then finally said, "You don't have to follow me. I'm going to explore a bit. If I find any good places, I'll notify you as soon as possible. Gathering together isn't very efficient."
