Chapter 279: Chapter 49_4

We were already talking about Bai Family’s Lady, it’s bound to come down to a corpse, then Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin would look different and be noticed by each other.

That’s also the reason why Li Zhiyuan pretended to have sore eyes and left early.

After listening to Li Zhiyuan’s account, Run Sheng, who was riding a bike, sighed: "Seems like we’ve met a fellow professional."

Tan Wenbin was stunned for a while, puzzled, "Are people in our line of work all this talented?"

Run Sheng replied, "You have talent too, you can make paper talismans."

Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes, "Thanks a lot."

Though surprised, Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin weren’t scared, firstly, they hadn’t experienced anything about Bai Family’s Lady, and secondly, they didn’t know Liu Yumei’s true identity.

The former involved Brother Liangliang’s personal privacy, the latter involved secrets of the Qin and Liu families, which Li Zhiyuan couldn’t just disclose.

Upon returning home, they found Grandmaster wasn’t there, instead, the instant noodles on the stove were eaten, likely he went out.

The three continued with their own things, Li Zhiyuan kept "reading", Run Sheng watched TV, and Binbin did his homework.

During lunch, Grandmaster hadn’t come back, Run Sheng cooked porridge.

For dinner, Grandmaster still hadn’t returned, Run Sheng cooked porridge again.

Though eating porridge was fine, it’s hard to live frugally after being lavish, without Aunt Liu, everyone’s quality of life severely dropped.

Moreover, without Aunt Liu’s calling for meals regularly, Li Zhiyuan felt his biological clock was somewhat disturbed.

At dinner, while eating porridge, Tan Wenbin speculated, "Hey, it was Mr. Li who suggested drinking porridge, and he’s also the one who hasn’t come back, probably went out to enjoy a feast."

Grandmaster wasn’t home, but no one was really worried, because Li Sanjiang was often invited to stay for meals and drinks.

On the tranquil summer night, Run Sheng and Tan Wenbin continued following "Chen Zhen."

Li Zhiyuan sat beside them, performing eye exercises before bed, when he got to kneading his temples and scraping his eye sockets,

A car and motorcycle noise came from the distant village road.

Tan Wenbin reacted as if he was electrocuted, flipped over from the front of the TV to a little table with homework, "click", he turned on the desk lamp, and immediately switched to a deeply contemplative problem-solving mode.

Run Sheng turned around, looked at him, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Li Zhiyuan guessed, "Brother Bin, Uncle Tan came?"

"Yeah!"

He recognized his own father’s motorcycle sound, as a child, whenever he secretly watched TV at home, he would immediately switch off the TV and start doing homework as soon as he heard this sound.

But, they waited, yet saw neither the motorcycle approaching nor anyone walking up the dam.

Run Sheng asked in confusion, "Your dad doesn’t want you anymore?"

"Your dad is the one who doesn’t want you."

"My dad indeed doesn’t want me anymore."

"Damn, you’re cheating."

After a pause,

Tan Wenbin added, "Sorry."

Run Sheng laughed, "Hehehe."

Tan Wenbin stood up, "My dad didn’t come for me, Xiao Yuan, Run Sheng, want to go and see? There might be another case in the village."

Run Sheng shook his head, "No, the show will continue after the commercials."

"I’ll go with you, Brother Bin."

"Alright, let’s go, Xiao Yuan."

Tan Wenbin grabbed Li Zhiyuan’s hand and they went out, passing by Aunt Zhang’s store, Tan Wenbin asked which way the car and motorcycle had gone earlier.

Aunt Zhang was cracking sunflower seeds, glanced towards the northwest, and answered, "Headed towards the old house of Big Beard."

On the way to Big Beard’s house, Tan Wenbin, somewhat worried, asked, "Brother Xiao Yuan, what do you think my dad and the others are doing there? Could it be that something has been discovered?"

"I don’t know," Li Zhiyuan shook his head.

If something were to go wrong and expose them, it would likely be the deceased water ghost’s identity that was revealed.

Several police cars and motorcycles were parked outside Big Beard’s house, each police officer wielding a flashlight.

But now, they probably couldn’t uncover much; the fish pond had been filled in, and this large piece of land had been planted with saplings.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Yuan, I see Mr. Li, he’s on the dam."

"My Grandmaster is alright, right?"

"He’s fine, not handcuffed, Mr. Li is still smoking away."

"Binbin? Is that you, Binbin?"

"It’s me, Uncle Zhao."

"Heh, what brings you here?"

"My relatives live here, I’m staying at their place."

"Alright, I’ll call your dad."

"Uncle Zhao, tell my dad that Xiao Yuan came with me."

"Oh."

Soon, Tan Yunlong came over.

"Dad!" Tan Wenbin waved enthusiastically.

"Move aside." Tan Yunlong ignored his son, came up to Li Zhiyuan, and whispered, "Someone from higher up came, this morning, our police station picked up your Grandmaster, had lunch together, went to a few places in the afternoon, Xiting Town, Shigang, places your Grandmaster had retrieved bodies from."

"Uncle, who came?"

"I’m not sure, but probably not from criminal investigation."

"Is my Grandmaster in trouble?"

"Not at all, just wanted to learn more about the situation, to lead them around, talk about what happened, this house and the areas around here are all under Grandmaster’s name, right?"

"Yeah."

"Don’t worry, it’s almost over, nothing serious."

"Thank you, Uncle."

"What thanks, we’re not working on a case or dealing with any classified regulations."

A familiar voice came from afar: "Alright, thank you everyone for all your hard work today."

Immediately after, Li Zhiyuan heard his Grandmaster talking to the man, "Grandmaster, thank you for all your hard work today."

"As I should, just assisting with the work."

"You should go back and rest early."

"You too, haha."

That voice belonged to Yu Shu.

"Yo, kid, what are you doing here?" Yu Shu noticed Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan countered, "Oh, Storyteller, what brings you here?"
