Chapter 237 Let's stay here.
"Zhou Na".

Ray said the name.

"Freya mentioned this name before."

This happened so long ago that he had almost forgotten about it.

After escaping the Burroughs family, Freya and Corbin disappeared, and everything returned to normal. He was also researching the poison in his body and gradually forgot about the incident.

Now that similar toxins have been found in the Fallen, it's clear that those behind Corbin are not innocent either.

He was completely clueless, and it was already a stroke of luck that he could recall the name Zhou Na.

"I'll go check it out," Lei said, turning to leave the lab.

"It's getting late. Altaïr has prepared lunch. Let's go upstairs and eat first. We can't rush the investigation."

Yu Man held Yu Manman's hand and looked at Ackerman behind her. "Come to think of it, Manman rarely brings anyone home."

Yu Manman has always been well-liked and has many friends, but she rarely brings them home.

Shangyu is my neighbor, and we often visit each other.

Xu Wanwan and Yu Manman get along very well. Xu Wanwan enjoys spending time with Manman and often comes to Yu's house to play whenever she has free time.

Ackerman was a male that Yu Manman brought back on her own initiative.

Therefore, when Yu Man said those words, there was a subtle, tentative undertone.

"It's because the instructor needs to see Fourth Uncle..." Yu Manman glanced at Ackerman, her tone somewhat guilty.

"Oh?" Yu Man glanced at her.

Little girl, has she forgotten that there's something she hasn't told me?
Yu Manman was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly.

"Mom, there's actually something else I want to tell you..."

Yu Manman quietly began to talk about her plans with Ackerman.

“Mom, I don’t want to stand idly by. I want to find out the truth too.” Yu Manman took her mother’s hand. “Instructor Ackerman will be investigating the secret drug in secret. We can actually cover for each other.”

Shang Yu was also standing to the side, looking at Yu Manman.

Oh, is that how it is? Or did I misunderstand?

Shang Yu glanced at Ackerman.

But in her heart, she firmly thought: No. Manman might have thought that way, but Instructor Ackerman might not have.

As a male, doesn't he understand the male mind?
Ackerman is probably also interested in Manman!
"That was too impulsive," Yu Man said, looking at Manman. "They didn't even discuss it with us. What if there's danger?"

Yu Manman muttered, "Back then, Instructor Ackerman was being watched, so he couldn't find any other way. I only chatted with Instructor Ackerman privately for a while, and people were still watching me!"

"Is someone still watching you?" Yu Man frowned.

She secretly didn't want to be fully involved in these things.

"It's nothing, just a temporary suspicion! It'll pass in a while." Yu Manman's eyes darted around.

Who would have thought that the calm and composed Ackerman would suddenly come up with such an excuse to cover up his true intentions?

She knew that since she was going to get involved, she would inevitably be suspected in the future.

"Mom, believe me, I can protect myself!" Yu Manman hugged her mother's hand affectionately. "Don't forget my abilities!"

Yu Man felt somewhat helpless when she thought about the 'system' on her daughter.

"Fine, since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you." Although this method is not very mature and even a bit impulsive, it's not entirely unacceptable.

Although she still doesn't understand how the system got bound to Manman or what its purpose is, it's undeniable that the system has helped them a lot and given Manman many more trump cards.

"But you can't hide anything from us in the future. Remember, your parents will always be there to protect you. Just be bold and do what you want."

Yu Man also suspected that Manman's insistence on participating might also be related to the system.

With the 'system' on her, Yu Man never imagined that she would live an ordinary life.

The system has given Manman so many benefits and helped their family so much. Now, is it time for Manman to do something?
"Thank you, Mom~" Yu Manman smiled.

It feels so good to have family!
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely protect Manman! As long as I'm here, I won't let Manman get hurt!" Ackerman looked at Yu Manman and felt a little guilty.

He implicated many people.

In the future, he will try his best not to bring trouble to Yu Manman and to involve her in his actions as little as possible.

Yu Man glanced at Ackerman.

Having gone through so much, how could she not see whether Ackerman had feelings for Manman?
But she didn't intend to get too involved in all the things that were going on.

Manman will soon be an adult. She is a very opinionated child and can handle many things on her own.

After having a meal at the Yu family's house, Ackerman prepared to say goodbye and find a place to stay nearby.

"Otherwise, the instructor can stay at my house. My house is big and has rooms!" Yu Manman said. "Once Fourth Uncle finds out anything, we can discuss it together! If the instructor has any new information, he can also tell us!"

"Besides, I have a very close relationship with the instructor now!"

Ackerman was taken aback and looked at Yu Man.

Yu Man elegantly wiped her lips. "Let's stay here."

Perfect timing, let her test this 'son-in-law'.

She could say that she would make Ackerman her 'fiancé' in the future. Whether it was just an act or she was going to take it seriously, she would have to see Ackerman's abilities and character for a long time.

So Ackerman stayed...

Shang Yu was so jealous he felt like he was about to burst with sourness.

The next morning, when Yu Manman came downstairs in her nightgown, still half asleep, she could vaguely see figures fighting outside.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and walked out, only to find that it was her father, Puslin, sparring with the instructor!
The two exchanged blows, almost resulting in a draw!
Yu Manman looked at it and instantly felt wide awake.

This was the first time in all these years that Yu Manman had ever seen someone fight her own father to a standstill! Although she had only seen her father spar with a few other fathers, she knew very well how strong he was!

Is Instructor Ackerman really that good at such a young age?

Yu Manman's eyes lit up; it was the first time she had ever seen Instructor Ackerman give his all!
However, Ackerman was relatively young and his practical experience was certainly not as good as Puslin's. After a while, he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position and was eventually pinned to the ground by Puslin.

"Dad is amazing!" Yu Manman applauded for Puslin.

Puslin loosened his muscles and a smile played on his lips. "It's alright..."

But Puslin knew that this victory was not easy for him either; his fists were still aching from the impact.

Wow, the younger generation is truly formidable. He's getting older, and the future belongs to the young.

Puslin sighed inwardly.

"Dad, when did you get back?" I didn't see him come back yesterday!
