261: Chapter 261 Honesty (Part 1) 261: Chapter 261 Honesty (Part 1) “Haha, Xiao Lin is getting anxious.” Lin He’s face immediately lit up with joy. However, Lin Wei at his side frowned even more. In his view, being too young wasn’t a good thing, so he spoke up, “Don’t talk nonsense! Su Mo, you’re so young and already working. What’s your educational background? Let me tell you something. Don’t look at Zinuo being 24, she’s a PhD graduate and skipped many grades.” “Um, elementary school,” Su Mo thought for a moment and replied. Hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Wei’s face immediately contorted. Zinuo and Qian Chengxue beside him looked incredulously at Su Mo. He had only graduated from elementary school; normally, even if someone couldn’t study further, they should at least complete middle or high school. Lin He was also stunned, completely unable to believe that Zinuo had found someone with only an elementary education. Su Mo, on the other hand, looked unfazed. He indeed had only attended elementary school and had since studied privately with different masters. Lin Wei took a deep breath to calm his nerves and asked, “So, what have you been doing since you dropped out of school?” “Playing video games at home.” Su Mo thought for a moment and replied. “What about your parents? Don’t they care about you?” “This is the situation, my parents died in a car accident. It was my grandfather who raised me, but he’s also passed away,” Su Mo replied matter-of-factly. Lin Wei was completely astonished. Su Mo was an orphan. He asked in a daze, “So, do you have any proper job?” Of course, by ‘proper job’, Lin Wei meant a formal position, not referring to Star Ring. “No.” Su Mo replied earnestly. Lin Wei almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Wasn’t this the typical case of a person with ‘three no’s’? Qian Chengxue also became somewhat disordered. Her expression was even more complicated than Zinuo’s, as she hardly could believe it. Zinuo couldn’t help but simultaneously cry and laugh. This situation would probably infuriate their parents. With the conditions Su Mo mentioned, there was no way they would agree, but this also served them well, as it was intended to sacrifice him a bit to take the blame. Lin Wei was about to inquire whether Su Mo owned a house in Imperial City and what his income was but swallowed his words. What’s the point after all this? Lin Wei took another deep breath, steadying his turbulent chest, and was unable to utter a word for a long time. After the shock, Qian Chengxue inexplicably felt a bit disheartened. Her phone vibrated at that moment; she picked it up and a message popped up. She glanced at it casually and politely said to Lin He and Lin Wei, “Uncle, aunt, I have something else to attend to, so I’ll head off first.” “Okay, thank you for your visit.” Lin Wei responded courteously. Qian Chengxue then turned to Zinuo and said, “Zinuo, you don’t need to rush back to work recently. The situation here is more important.” “Don’t worry, Sister Xue, I’ll manage.” Zinuo quickly replied. “Hmm.” Qian Chengxue nodded slightly and then turned to leave. For a moment, the hospital room was left with just the four of them, Su Mo included, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely heavy. Lin He and Lin Wei couldn’t resist sizing Su Mo up intermittently, giving him an ominous premonition. From the moment he entered, he felt the gaze was off, followed by a series of interrogations. Seeing that the situation was getting sticky, Zinuo coughed and said to Su Mo, “Didn’t you have something else to do? I’ll take you back first.” “I have nothing.” Realizing the trick, Su Mo replied honestly. Zinuo was nearly at her wits’ end. Couldn’t this guy sense the awkwardness of the atmosphere? She responded with a forced laugh. “Think carefully again; there must be something going on,” she said. Just as Su Mo was about to retort, Lin Zinuo quickly pushed him towards the exit. Of course, it wasn’t that Su Mo didn’t know how to smooth things over, but he felt it was unnecessary, so he simply told the truth. Just as Lin Zinuo was pushing Su Mo to leave the hospital room, Lin Wei spoke up, “Zinuo, come back after sending him off. I have something to discuss with you.” Upon hearing this, Lin Zinuo immediately thought to herself. “It’s over!” “Okay, Dad,” she replied reluctantly, then pushed Su Mo out. In the hospital corridor, Su Mo looked seriously at Lin Zinuo, “Didn’t we just arrive? Why are you in such a hurry to send me away?” Lin Zinuo, thinking that if they didn’t leave soon, big trouble would ensue, sighed and said, “It’s nothing. My dad goes to bed early and is too embarrassed to say it, so I was hinting at you.” seaʀᴄh thё Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. “Oh, is that so? Then I’ll be leaving first. Call me if there’s anything,” he said. Su Mo nodded slightly and turned, ready to leave. “Su Mo,” Lin Zinuo suddenly called out to him. Su Mo turned his head, looking puzzled at Lin Zinuo, and asked, “Is there anything else?” “Thank you.” Lin Zinuo gave Su Mo a radiant smile. …. —————————————————– Early in the morning, a top-range stretched, bulletproof business vehicle stopped at the front door of the Martial God Guild. Sun Duoxiang, Zhang Hao, and Ma Ke stood by the entrance. A gentlemanly butler opened the car door and respectfully gestured for Sun Duoxiang to enter. “Mr. Sun Duoxiang, please get in the car,” he said. Zhang Hao whispered nervously to Sun Duoxiang, “Brother Sun, how about we don’t go? You go by yourself?” “Can’t you show some loyalty?” Sun Duoxiang felt his throat go dry. He had come in as usual for work today and unexpectedly received a formal invitation from Lin Ming to visit the family within the high walls, leading to this moment. The significance of receiving a formal invitation from the Lin Family was not small. Zhang Hao stuttered in a low voice in reply, “Brother Sun, aren’t I just nervous?” “As if I’m not nervous. Get in the car,” Sun Duoxiang said, swallowing hard as he got into the vehicle, and Zhang Hao and Ma Ke, seeing that Sun Duoxiang had said so, also reluctantly got in. Soon, the car drove off, taking a special express lane directly to the high walls. Sun Duoxiang looked through the window at the approaching high walls, feeling more apprehensive. Honestly, he had never been inside the high walls in his life, where it was said to be Heaven. The driving butler spoke very politely to Sun Duoxiang from the front, “Mr. Sun Duoxiang, we will soon arrive at the high wall’s checkpoint. Since you do not have an identity within the high walls, we can’t take the fast intelligent scanning channel, but must go through the manual channel. There will be dedicated staff there to verify your identity, which might be a bit of a hassle, but you just need to cooperate and answer some questions. Everything else has been arranged.” “Okay,” Sun Duoxiang sighed in response. In just a moment, the butler drove the car to the designated checkpoint and stopped. A young female inspector approached with four fully armed soldiers, politely saying, “Routine check, please cooperate.”
