After coming out of the Xinfeng Building, Ding Meng drove directly to the Eastern District of Blue Pole Star City.
The authority of this "Ru Feng" flying car was even higher than that of Li Yu's "Light Bird". As soon as he set the destination coordinates, the traffic control system automatically planned an unmanned flight route for him. In less than half an hour, the flying car landed at the mountaintop villa area of East Star Mountain.
This was the Lang family's mansion. Back then, Du Peixing and Lang Ling's engagement party was held here. His purpose for coming here was also very clear. He was here to look for Du Peixing.
After the flying car landed on the tarmac, an AI guard quickly approached. "Hello, visitor. Please show your identity and tell us your purpose of visit."
Ding Meng immediately turned on the "wealthy" wristwatch and pulled up the hologram of his identity information. "I'm here to visit Old Master Lang. Please pass on the message."
This "wealthy" wristwatch was the one on Lan Bing's wrist. This was the fourth-generation product developed by the Sheng Hao Group. It was quite powerful and could even carry out quantum communication between two galaxies. Only high-ranking managers were qualified to wear it. However, Ding Meng's was a male model, while Lan Bing's was a female model. The female model was more exquisite and beautiful, while the male model was more luxurious.
After the AI guard returned to the villa area, a figure soon appeared on the tarmac. A middle-aged man quickly ran over. This person was none other than Old Master Lang's personal bodyguard, Fu Zhonghui. Fu Zhonghui had fought side by side with Ding Meng during the water droplet battle in the underground of Planet Thorn.
Fu Zhonghui looked very excited. "Oh my god, I thought there was a problem with the robot butler program. I didn't expect it to really be you, Ding Meng. You're actually back."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Long time no see, Senior Fu."
"Don't call me senior."
Fu Zhonghui affectionately put his arm around Ding Meng's shoulder. "Let's go inside and talk. Old Master, Miss, and Peixing are all at home. They'll probably be very happy that you're back."
He was so kind because of the water droplet battle. If Ding Meng had not used his unique skill to hold Chu Mingliang back, the Expedition would have flown into the wormhole. He, Kun Ping, Xingming, and the other experts would have all been killed by the water droplets. In other words, Fu Zhonghui's life was saved by Ding Meng.
Therefore, Fu Zhonghui was extremely excited to see Ding Meng safe and sound in the Lang family's courtyard.
In the hall on the first floor of the Lang family's villa, Lang Dun, Lang Ling, and Du Peixing had been waiting for a long time. When they saw that it was really Ding Meng, Du Peixing immediately rushed forward. "It's really Brother Ding. You're really still alive. That's great."
After some small talk, the servants served drinks and pastries. The four of them sat on the sofa. Du Peixing rubbed his hands excitedly. "Ding Meng, don't go anywhere today. Just stay here. I've already informed Du Mo and asked him to come back immediately. Let's drink to our hearts' content tonight."
Ding Meng asked curiously, "Brother Xing, where is Du Mo now?"
He knew that Du Mo had joined the military, but he did not know the details.
Du Peixing smiled and said, "Du Mo is now serving in the Interstellar Fleet of the Azure System. He's already a major."
Ding Meng knew about the military ranks of the Federation. He could not help but be surprised. "Oh?
Du Mo is also a warlord?
That's really fast. "
Du Peixing laughed loudly. "That kid is working hard. He didn't embarrass me as his big brother."
There was a proud look on his face as he spoke. Fu Zhonghui could not help but remind him, "Pei Xing, don't be so proud. Take a closer look at Ding Meng."
Du Peixing sensed for a moment and said hesitantly, "Eh?
Ding Meng, where's your Origin Energy aura?
What's going on? "
Ding Meng smiled and decided not to hide his strength in front of these old friends. He slightly activated the first point of origin, and Du Peixing and Fu Zhonghui felt dizzy for a moment.
Du Peixing sighed after a long time. "Your aura doesn't seem to be below that of a warlord."
Fu Zhonghui smiled and said, "Pei Xing, based on my many years of experience and observation, this is the realm of perfection. Ding Meng has probably reached the Battle Monarch level by now, right?"
Ding Meng smiled and did not answer. If he were to tell them the truth, they would probably be shocked.
Du Peixing was born into an aristocratic family and had a good upbringing. He did not ask about Ding Meng's experiences over the years, knowing that it was his privacy. Thus, he changed his tone and said, "Ding Meng, how long have you been back?"
Ding Meng said, "Not long. I've only been back for less than a month."
In less than a month, Ding Meng came to visit the Old Master. Of course, he must be here for Du Mo. It was enough to show that Ding Meng also regarded Du Mo as a close friend. Du Peixing sighed and said, "Ding Meng, you and Du Mo are really, how should I put it?
And Uncle Hui, you two fought side by side, haha … "
Ding Meng smiled and said, "Brother Xing, actually, I have something I need your help with this time."
Du Peixing said heroically, "You're welcome. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to the USS Expedition when it returned to the Federation. I wouldn't even frown if you asked me for ten things, let alone one."
Ding Meng sighed. She had to tell them about Fang Zhenghao's accident. Judging from the expressions of Du Peixing, Fu Zhonghui, and the rest of them, they probably didn't know what had happened in the Flying Star City yet.
Du Peixing smiled bitterly. "Ding Meng, to tell you the truth, we all thought you were dead. Because of this, I offended Ling Xingxian. She thought I was the one who harmed you and wanted me to bear the consequences. In the end, I was transferred out of the special class fleet. Now, I have returned to the ground forces. You don't have to worry about Gulaga and Sleman. As long as they are still alive, it won't be a problem for us to bring them back. Murphy is now serving in the interstellar fleet, so it won't be a problem for him to mobilize a few starships."
Fu Zhonghui said, "Peixing, Commander Gulaga and Silman are on Planet Exile, not in the Federation's territory. The Federation can't do anything about it, and neither can the Empire. It's not convenient for Little Mo to interfere with it with his authority. Let me find them. I have a few old friends who often deal in materials in outer space. I'll contact them. With their capabilities, they can send them back to KV303 in two days at most."
Ding Meng was overjoyed and quickly thanked Fu Zhonghui. "Thank you, Senior Fu!"
Fu Zhonghui also smiled. "I told you not to call me senior. Call me Uncle Hui. We've fought side by side. We're not strangers."
Ding Meng also knew that Fu Zhonghui's action was a huge favor. Although Fu Zhonghui said it casually, Ding Meng knew that this matter was actually very difficult to handle.
The Planet Exile where Gulaga and Silman were exiled was even farther away than the Dead Silent Planet he had stayed on before. How could he describe this distance? If a large starship flew normally, it would take at least two months to fly back to KV303. However, Fu Zhonghui said that it would only take two days. This meant that his friends must have used the starship's continuous short-distance transmission and positioning jump to get back.
If it was just to send two people back, the cost of transportation would be too high. Therefore, this was a huge favor. Fu Zhonghui clearly understood Ding Meng's urgency. Ding Meng definitely wanted to see his old friends as soon as possible.
And when Fu Zhonghui said that he had a few old friends who often dealt in materials in outer space, these friends of his were definitely not ordinary people. Ding Meng replied gratefully, "Alright, thank you, Uncle Hui. If the conditions permit, I wonder if Uncle Hui can introduce me to these friends of yours."
Fu Zhonghui's eyes revealed a look of approval. "No problem at all!
They definitely want to get to know you too! "
After chatting for an entire afternoon, a transport ship with a military insignia landed on the tarmac in the evening. Du Mo's figure quickly appeared in the hall on the first floor.
The current Du Mo had long since shed his initial naivety. His straight military uniform made him look extremely handsome. His entire person was also quite imposing, and there was a faint sense of dignity between his brows.
"Ding Meng!" Du Mo came up and punched Ding Meng's shoulder. His eyes were a little red. "Welcome back!"
Ding Meng smiled. "Du Mo, long time no see!"
Du Mo waved his hand. "Don't say anything else. Drink with me for three days. You're not allowed to go anywhere. This kind of opportunity is quite rare."
Ding Meng smiled again. Du Mo seemed to have become a lot more straightforward.
Only then did he notice that Du Mo did not come back alone. Standing behind Du Mo was a lovely and beautiful woman. Ding Meng felt that this person was somewhat familiar.
"Hello!
Ding Meng! "The beautiful woman took the initiative to speak.
Ding Meng was stunned. Du Mo smiled. "Have you forgotten? The three of us graduated from the Starlight examination together."
Ding Meng suddenly realized. "You're Liang Yiran!"
Liang Yiran showed a charming smile. "That's good. I really thought you didn't remember me."
After Du Peixing's explanation, Ding Meng learned that after graduating from the Starlight examination, Du Mo and Liang Yiran got together and gradually developed into a relationship. Now, they had already carried out the engagement ceremony. All that was left was to hold the wedding ceremony.
The Du Family was quite famous in Blue Pole Star City, but the Liang Family was even more famous. Liang Yiran came from the capital of Saint Splendor and was the youngest granddaughter of the third generation of the Liang Family. The Liang Family controlled the Red Moon International Trading Group, the fourth-ranked conglomerate in the Federation. Therefore, this marriage could be considered as the Du Family climbing up the social ladder.
However, the two of them were truly in love with each other and did not participate in too many external factors. Now, Du Mo was a fleet major in the Blue Moon Army, but Liang Yiran did not return to the capital. Instead, she stayed in Blue Pole Star City and set up her own trading company. They could be considered a happy couple with both career and love.
Ding Meng scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I came back late. Besides, I'm used to being poor, so I don't have any good gifts."
Du Mo smiled and said, "There's no need to be polite between us. Seeing you come back safely, I'm more happy than anything else."
Liang Yiran explained, "Ding Meng, Du Mo was still patrolling the periphery of the Sky Eagle Division during the day. When he heard that you had returned, he couldn't believe it at first, but when he confirmed that the news was true, he immediately sent a message back."
The Sky Eagle Division was a little far from the Blue Star Division, but it only took him an afternoon to come back. This showed that Ding Meng's position in Du Mo's heart was extremely high.
Du Peixing waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone is here. It's time for dinner. Let's sit down and talk while we eat."
