Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Quarrel
Seeing Liu Zheng approaching, Director Xiao seemed 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 mean? 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 remember now. If you hadn’t mentioned this, I’d almost have forgotten it. Those people said they came 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 become more cautious."
"So, what do we do now? You don’t mean to say we wait for those two brothers to come 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 hometown 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 meaningless 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 some 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 seemed 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? Someone 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 me these past years? Don’t you have any idea?"
"Started lecturing me, 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 me?"
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 somewhat unclear to them.
"Li Er, clarify this for me, 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 come 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 come 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 something 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 came over when you called."
"That’s really weird then. How could those two corpses just disappear out of thin air?"
"What do you mean, ’go’? Could it be that you two found out and cremated them ahead of time? 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 came, mentioning something important in the corpses, but the way they talked, it seemed as if that wasn’t the real purpose of their visit."
"What do you mean? Are you saying someone 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 something comes up, we’ll transfer normally and not involve me anymore."
"Well, if that’s the case, we do need to be more cautious. I also sense that something 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 come looking for me here."
"Boss Li, it’s not like we wanted to come 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.
