Chapter 269: Chapter 128: Love Story_2 Chapter 269: Chapter 128: Love Story_2 If she leaves tomorrow, she might never come back to Steel Dome City.
And surely, her mother and Master Qiong wouldn’t let her wander aimlessly.
This visit, too, was under the pretense of the Academy’s name.
She wanted to see the outside world.
After Xu Mo returned, he had been busy, conversing with Stark and arranging some matters.
As night fell, a hidden current surged beneath the night sky of Steel Dome City.
However, with the entire attention of Steel Dome City focused on the exchange meeting, immersed in the joyous atmosphere, no one paid attention to the dark tide swelling in the shadows.
For the people of Steel Dome City, tomorrow was just an ordinary day.
…
The next day was the seventh day of the Extraordinary Academy exchange meeting.
Before dawn, a flying device landed in the Southern Military District.
Capable of accommodating dozens of people, with a streamlined exterior, this flying device was manufactured by Stark Group and could traverse the wasteland areas.
Naturally, the flying device was sent by Stark Hao; it was also Xu Mo and his group’s last resort for retreat.
If today’s events failed, they would take the flying device and leave Steel Dome City.

Many citizens of Steel Dome City had risen early, looking forward to the new day with great anticipation.
There were two big events scheduled for the day.
Miss Ian would hold an open-air music concert on Triumph Street, the most bustling thoroughfare in Steel Dome City.
It was said that Miss Ian had prepared thoroughly for the concert and that there would be surprises.
The Extraordinary Academy exchange meeting would also end today, with more channels broadcasting it live.
Many had already arrived early at Triumph Street to secure their spots.
Here, they could enjoy the music concert while watching the Extraordinary Academy’s exchange matches at the same time.
Thus, they wouldn’t miss out on anything.
So early in the morning, Triumph Street was extraordinarily lively, with crowds arriving consecutively.
Among the crowds, there were quite a few from the Military District, dressed in plain clothes, taking up different positions on Triumph Street.
Some even climbed atop the surrounding steel high-rises on Triumph Street, ready to carry out their tasks for the day.
Perhaps, this would be a concert that would go down in the history of Steel Dome City.
As for whether history could be changed, no one knew.
At the residence of Lin Qingze.
Xu Mo arrived and rang the villa’s doorbell.
Lin Yao came out, her face lighting up with surprise as she greeted, “Brother Xu Mo, what brings you here?”
“Just came to see you,” Xu Mo replied.
“Come in and sit down,” Lin Yao said cheerfully as she ran ahead, calling out, “Mom, Brother Xu Mo is here!”
Mrs.
Lin and Lin Yang both came to the living room, surprised to see Xu Mo entering.
Settling down on the living room sofa, Xu Mo began, “Auntie, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”
“What is it?” Mrs.
Lin asked, puzzled.
“Have you ever thought about leaving Steel Dome City and going to the Capital?” asked Xu Mo.
“To the Capital?” Mrs.
Lin was taken aback, her thoughts momentarily in disarray.
Leaving Steel Dome City?
Indeed, Steel Dome City was a place of heartache.
Since Lin Qingze’s assassination, the City Government had offered no answers, and the matter seemed to have just faded away.
With a verdict of ‘no cause for suspicion’ and no results from the investigation, everything was wiped clean.
The death of Lin Qingze would forever remain unsolved.
Because of this, the Old Dean too was criminally detained.
Yet, Lin Qingze’s grave was still in Steel Dome City, here were all his memories.
Leaving just like that, they still couldn’t bear it.
“Xu Mo, are you leaving?” Mrs.
Lin, catching onto something, asked him directly.
“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded, “It’s possible that I might leave.”
“That’s fine, you should develop in the Capital.
Staying in Steel Dome City is meaningless.” Mrs.
Lin sighed softly.
Xu Mo was going to leave.
“Auntie, think about this.
Pay attention to the news outside today, then make a decision.
If you decide to leave, head for the Southwest Military District.”
Xu Mo spoke without giving too much detail.
As long as they paid attention to the news, they would naturally understand when the time came.
“Okay.” Mrs.
Lin nodded, sensing that Xu Mo might be about to do something big.
This matter could cause an earthquake in Steel Dome City.
“Brother Xu Mo, what are you going to do?” Lin Yao also realized and asked.
She felt Xu Mo might be taking a risk.
“It’s nothing.” Xu Mo ruffled Lin Yao’s hair and said, “Auntie, I must go now.”
Saying this, he walked towards the outside.
Mrs.
Lin and Lin Yao followed him out, watching Xu Mo get into the car.
“Brother Xu Mo, be careful.” Lin Yao knew she couldn’t sway Xu Mo’s actions and could only pray in her heart.
“Yeah, goodbye.” Xu Mo smiled and nodded as the car started and left the area.
…
Nanming Academy.
Today, Nanming Academy was especially bustling.
In the early morning, vehicles began to arrive at Nanming Academy.
Political dignitaries from all walks of life would attend today.
The city government team led by Mayor Nan Mingyuan had also arrived.
Delegates from the Extraordinary Academy in the Capital would return home after today, marking the last day to confirm who would go to the Capital for an educational exchange.
This was a significant event for the Eight Extraordinary Colleges in Steel Dome City.
Claiming to represent the interests of the Academy Faction, Mayor Nan Mingyuan highly valued today’s schedule.
It wasn’t just Mayor Nan Mingyuan; leading figures from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges were also present at Nanming Academy today.
Some big families and consortia from Steel Dome City had also sent representatives.
Inside and outside of Nanming Academy, it was crowded and lively.
The Security Bureau deployed a large force to maintain order at Nanming Academy and handle its security.
At that time, inside the academy.
Mayor Nan Mingyuan walked along the road, surrounded by many key personalities, including Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu, as well as the son of a top figure from a gene company, who was very young and about Li Zelong’s age.
“Mayor Nanming, do you have any comments about today’s exchange?” a reporter approached Nan Mingyuan for an interview.
“These last few days, the Extraordinary Colleges from both the Capital and Steel Dome City have shown us extremely exciting battles, which are of great significance to the Extraordinary Colleges in Steel Dome City.
Today, being the final day of the exchange, we will select a group of exceptional students from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges to study in the Capital, promoting the development of the Extraordinary Colleges in Steel Dome City,” Mayor Nan Mingyuan said, speaking in platitudes.
“Miss Huo Wu, will you be competing today?” the reporter smiled and asked Nanming Huowu who stood beside Mayor Nan Mingyuan.
Nanming Huowu looked towards the camera and said, “Perhaps.”
“We’re very much looking forward to it.
Another thing that the entire populace of Steel Dome City is eager to know is, Mr.
Li Zelong and Miss Huo Wu, have you confirmed your romantic relationship?” the reporter continued, as countless people in Steel Dome City watched the screen, eager with anticipation.
This indeed was an answer many people wanted to know.
As representative figures of the younger generation in Steel Dome City, the romance between Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu was in the spotlight, with the whole city paying attention.
It even became part of Mayor Nan Mingyuan’s political capital at one point.
Nanming Huowu looked at Li Zelong beside her.
Li Zelong smiled, reaching out his hand and taking hold of Nanming Huowu’s.
Suddenly, Steel Dome City was abuzz.

The reporter also showed a surprised look, then smiled and said, “Congratulations to both of you.
I think many people in Steel Dome City are about to have their hearts broken.”
Of course, this was just a joke.
In different parts of Steel Dome City, countless people gazed at the divine couple with envy on their faces.
Li Zelong and Nanming Huowu finally came together.
