Seeing Liu Zheng approaching, Director Xiao seed even more anxious to know what was going on.
Facing Director Xiao’s questioning, Liu Zheng just smiled slightly and then shook his head gently.
"What do you an? You didn’t see anything, right? Could he have sent the corpse directly to the crematory?"
"The one we received wasn’t Li Er, it was the person we saw before."
"What? Not Li Er? Oh, right, I rember now. If you hadn’t ntioned this, I’d almost have forgotten it. Those people said they ca over and directly asked to coordinate with you, but it seems that with others, there actually isn’t any coordination."
"Exactly, that’s why I said, these people definitely don’t know Li Er, so they must not have coordinated properly, or else, it’s possible Li Er knows we’re looking into this matter here and has beco more cautious."
"So, what do we do now? You don’t an to say we wait for those two brothers to co back and bring a corpse, do you? They probably won’t make it today since they’re going to take a corpse back to their hotown tonight, and at the earliest, they won’t be back until tomorrow morning."
"Yeah, if that’s the case, we can’t keep waiting here, it would be aningless to do so. Let’s head back first and discuss what to do next."
Liu Zheng just sighed deeply, having thought that he would be able to find out so information today, but as it happened, there was no news at all.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, he suddenly heard what seed like the sound of people quarreling next door.
Liu Zheng and Director Xiao almost simultaneously stopped in their tracks, frowned slightly, and then turned their heads to listen carefully.
"Do you hear that? Soone is arguing, and that voice sounds a lot like Li Er’s."
"Yes, yes, I hear it too. What’s going on? Let’s go have a look."
Director Xiao said, and then the two of them ran back to the wall again.
"What the hell are you doing? Don’t you know?"
"Li Er, I’m telling you, stop acting all nice after taking advantage. How much money have you made off these past years? Don’t you have any idea?"
"Started lecturing , have you? Do you think I’m not aware of the shady things you’ve been doing? And how much money have you made flipping goods from ?"
The dispute between the two of them appeared to be about money, yet the specifics of the money and interests they were arguing about were sowhat unclear to them.
"Li Er, clarify this for , why did you suddenly cut off the cooperation with us?"
"Why did I cut it off? Don’t you know? What the hell happened the other day? The corpse was lying here just fine, and then you guys suddenly took it away. What, you want to swallow the business whole?"
"I’ll tell you again, I indeed had things to deal with those two days and didn’t send anyone over. How could it be said that we took the corpse?"
"Then that’s really strange. If you’re saying that, did the corpse grow legs and walk away by itself? Or did it suddenly co back to life?"
"If you don’t want to cooperate, just say so. There’s no need to sling dirt on us. After so many years of doing business, have we ever done such a thing? Moreover, would we steal two corpses?"
"Well, if you didn’t steal them, how co those two people suddenly disappeared? I racked my brains over the first corpse, wondering why I hadn’t seen it, but when I discovered the second one, I knew there must be sothing fishy going on with you guys."
"If that’s what you think, then there’s really no point in continuing this conversation. Plus, I’m telling you once more, within these two days, we haven’t sent anyone over. Also, why would we need to steal a corpse from you? What would we even do with that kind of corpse?"
"So what you’re saying is, you guys didn’t touch this matter at all?"
"My conscience is clear, Boss Li. We didn’t touch it, and we only ca over when you called."
"That’s really weird then. How could those two corpses just disappear out of thin air?"
"What do you an, ’go’? Could it be that you two found out and cremated them ahead of ti? Think about it, have there been any cremations these past nights?"
"I don’t know. I’m not involved in the standard cremation process, and even if there were cremations at night, I wouldn’t know the specifics."
"Well, if even you don’t know what happened, how could we possibly know? Boss Li, my conscience is clear, we can only tell you honestly, we never touched those two corpses, and in fact, we haven’t even seen them."
"It’s damned strange, damned strange indeed. Plus, today two people from the hospital ca, ntioning sothing important in the corpses, but the way they talked, it seed as if that wasn’t the real purpose of their visit."
"What do you an? Are you saying soone is suspecting our business now?"
"That’s what I’m afraid of. So we need to stabilize things for a while, we can’t do business like this for now. I’ll notify the others that if sothing cos up, we’ll transfer normally and not involve anymore."
"Well, if that’s the case, we do need to be more cautious. I also sense that sothing might be off, so we need to hurry up, go, and check it out thoroughly."
"Alright, you guys go ahead then. I won’t make an appearance anymore. If there’s anything, we’ll contact each other in a different way, don’t co looking for here."
"Boss Li, it’s not like we wanted to co here, and if it weren’t for such a big misunderstanding, would you really think we stole the corpses? Right, let’s not talk about that now, we need to hurry up and get out of here."
After saying that, no further noises were heard, but Director Xiao and Liu Zheng were just beyond one wall.
