Fairy Tail: I Am the God

The floor of the room was piled high with all sorts of trendy sports equipment, such as soccer and boxing gloves and surfboards.

A single sofa, the most eye-catching thing in the whole room is that the wall behind it is covered with all kinds of posters.

As the aroma of the food filled the air, Xiaoman's mother finally returned.

She entered the store complaining that she was exhausted, then complained that the store employees weren't working hard enough, and then complained about the sluggish market, continuing until she went into her room.

The house suddenly became lively.

Just then, Su Lei made a phone call to Xiao Man.

Xiaoman was very happy after receiving the call.

Xiaoman said, "Dad, wait a minute, I'll introduce you to a friend. He's coming to our house."

Xiaoman's father asked with a smile, "What friends?"

“My favorite best friend!” Xiaoman said, gesturing excitedly.

In less than fifteen minutes, Su Lei arrived at Xiao Man's house.

Xiaoman quickly introduced, "Mom, she's my classmate."

"Oh, that's the class monitor who's always been so good at his studies, right? He was so happy back then, but look how handsome he is now, he's absolutely dashing," Xiaoman's mother said to Su Lei with a smile.

Su Lei blushed with embarrassment: "Auntie, please don't say that, I'm embarrassed."

Xiaoman's father had already set out the food, and the four of them took their seats.

Clearly, the younger sister's mother is the empress dowager at home, and she's the only one who talks at the dinner table.

He first nitpicked the dishes, saying that one was too salty or that one wasn't flavorful enough.

Later, seeing that Su Lei was a bit reserved and busy, he told her not to be polite and that these were just some home-cooked dishes.

Xiaoman's mother then inquired, "Xiaosu, I heard you just arrived. Where are you staying now?"

“Oh, I live at my brother’s house,” Su Lei replied respectfully.

"Oh, so your brother is here too," Xiaomai's mother exclaimed in surprise.

Xiaoman quickly replied, "He lives in Yiluo Park, not far from our home."

"Wow, the housing prices there aren't cheap, are they?" Xiaoman's mother quickly remarked from the side.

Chapter 982 The Entire Audience Shocked

Xiaoman's mother, standing nearby, asked with concern, "What does your brother do?"

"Mom, what are you asking about?!" Xiaoman's face was displeased, and she was a little unhappy. How could she ask such a thing so bluntly as soon as they met?

The mother looked at her daughter's face and became a little nervous. She hesitated, then shut her mouth and stopped talking.

The father, who was eating in silence, suddenly looked up and said, "I heard from Xiaoman that Xiaosu's brother used to be a reporter."

“I used to buy their columns often, and some of the articles were really well written.”

At this moment, Xiaoman's mother paused for a moment, then asked Su Lei, "Is there someone named Su Guang at your brother's newspaper?"

“Su Guang is my brother,” Su Lei replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoman's mother smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Gradually, the atmosphere at the table grew cold, as if a layer of membrane had been drawn between them, and Xiaoman's mother suddenly became taciturn.

Xiaoman's father glanced at his mother and immediately noticed that something was wrong with her expression. Not long after, Su Lei also noticed his mother's unusual behavior, but he didn't know why.

Neither of them could figure it out.

All of this was observed by the exceptionally perceptive Su Lei.

A short while later, Xiaoman's mother put down her chopsticks, said she was finished eating, and hurriedly left the table.

Our father glanced at Su Lei, then put down his chopsticks and followed her into the bedroom...

Seeing this, Xiaoman quickly comforted Su Lei, saying, "Don't worry about her. That's just how my mom is. She's going through early menopause now, hahaha..."

"kindness……"

Su Lei gave a guilty smile, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xiaoman's mother and father chased after her and immediately signaled to close the door.

Then, her mother took a report out of her bag and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Xiaoman's father picked up the newspaper and started flipping through it aimlessly.

"You dead man, where are you looking?" Yang Xiaomei's mother was furious. A nameless anger surged up in her head, and she snatched the newspaper and slapped it on his face.

Just then, her mother's unusually loud voice came from the bedroom.

“I don’t care about anything else, all I know is that his brother used to be a drug dealer, and our family can’t associate with that kind of person!”

Xiaoman's father lowered his voice and said to Xiaoman's mother, "Keep your voice down, don't let others hear."

In fact, Su Lei had overheard what the younger sister's mother had just said.

Even Xiaoman heard it very clearly.

Xiaoman had never encountered such an embarrassing situation in her life; it made her extremely awkward.

In a fit of rage, he grabbed a cup and smashed it to the ground with all his might, shattering it into pieces with a loud crash.

Su Lin's face turned pale. He stood up abruptly and whispered, "Xiao Man, I'm leaving," before running towards the door.

Xiaoman was immediately stunned.

The door to her parents' bedroom finally opened, and Xiaoman's father walked out with a helpless expression.

When she saw that Su Lin was gone, she not only looked ashamed, but also said to Xiao Man in a conciliatory tone, "Oh, your mother is really something!"

Xiaoman was trembling with anger. He pointed at his parents' bedroom and gritted his teeth, "This time I will never forgive him." After saying that, he rushed back into the house, grabbed his car keys, and left.

As soon as they stepped out the door, Su Lei had vanished.

Chapter 983 Everyone's Dumbfounded

Xiaoman was very upset after hearing her mother and father's conversation, so she ran out angrily.

He never expected his mother to be this kind of person, openly criticizing others, making them look bad, and never letting them save face.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of unease, as if his mother was beyond words, and the atmosphere of her presence filled his entire being.

Xiaoman doesn't know where to go now. He originally wanted to go after Su Lei and explain to Su Lei, but he felt that his mother's actions had already crossed his bottom line. He felt that if he went to find Su Lei again, he would lose. Would Hui be able to listen and understand what he was saying?

He suddenly felt lost and didn't know what to do.

"Should we go somewhere else? Or should we go to a bar for a drink first?" He kept thinking to himself.

A boring world, a boring life—this was the question that Xiaoman kept agonizing over.

The task force had been working for more than twenty days, but the seemingly simple case had made no progress. Everyone was getting anxious, so they had to go back to square one and memorize all the information about the case's development.

Su Lei was also reminiscing about an incident from his brother's past.

At that time, a large number of international students came here, but the government did not grant them permanent residency visas. For well-known reasons, international student organizations from various countries emerged.

His brother was also an active member, and due to power struggles, he repeatedly clashed with the leaders of those international students.

They exposed each other's secrets.

Xiaoman was wandering aimlessly on the street, feeling extremely depressed. She wanted to find a bar quickly to have a drink and suppress her frustration.

At the door of a somewhat new house, a thin old man rang the doorbell.

But after ringing the doorbell for a long time, the house seemed to be empty.

The old man looked around again to make sure no one was there before sneaking around to the back of the house.

This frail old man looked thin and weak, but he seemed to be very agile.

She went to the backyard of the house, to the wall, and after checking that no one was around, she clung to the wall with both hands, climbed up, and jumped into the yard.

I don't know what his purpose was, but he was very agile.

The man escorted the old man into the courtyard and tiptoed to a large tree in front of the courtyard.

Yes. Another four weeks of injections, another four weeks of checkups.

Then he tiptoed to the window of the living room on the first floor.

If you press your head against the window in the living room, can you hear any sounds?

It seemed pitch black inside, and I couldn't hear anything.

Then he observed the terrain around the four sides.

It was discovered that the master bedroom should probably be on the second floor.

He tiptoed up the steps leading to the second floor.

Suddenly, a voice came from the courtyard and asked, "Who goes there?"

No sooner said than done, the frail old man, upon hearing that someone had discovered it, hurriedly ran up the stairs and, with a "whoosh," jumped over the wall from the second-floor staircase.
