Corpse Recovery Diver

Two days have passed, and Xiao Yuan has not returned.

This time, they did not go out of town.

Logically speaking, no matter how big the issue is, excluding travel and preparation time, two days should be enough to see results.

The old lady personally stated that since the child didn't explicitly tell them, they shouldn't interfere in the child's matters.

But that doesn't mean that if something truly happens to the child, they will just pinch their noses and accept it again.

Aunt Liu said nothing, brewed tea, added some pastries, and then left, heading to the third floor to check the seal in the room there.

After confirming it was intact, Aunt Liu came down and once again unlocked the kitchen seal, entering the kitchen.

The oppressive atmosphere persisted in the house.

Right until night.

Aunt Liu went out briefly, then hurriedly returned to the second floor with a stack of items, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

At this moment, the old lady's killing intent had condensed into pressure, obscuring other sensations. She no longer cared if it would affect her granddaughter's piano and painting because she couldn't control herself.

Thus, Aunt Liu only realized that Ali had returned when she reached the second floor.

There was an outside matter, and Ali was called away.

Ali initially didn't want to go, but the old lady simply lowered her eyelids and said calmly, "You go."

Ali left reluctantly, sharpening his knife at home. When the old lady was holding back like that, as her adopted son and the only adult male in the family, he should be at the forefront. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Aunt Liu originally thought that Ali's departure would be like usual, at least ten days to half a month, but unexpectedly, he returned in less than two days.

The old lady was still lying on the rocking chair, holding a stack of photos, flipping through them one by one.

Each photo recorded the scene of a gruesome death, and without exception, they all aimed at annihilation of families.

Massacres of families aren't uncommon in society, but regardless of how common, there is always a fixed number, a certain number last year, this year, and projected for next year.

It isn't a time of chaos; there shouldn't suddenly be so many. There must be a special reason.

Moreover, though some are fire incidents, drownings, or other various accidents, there indeed are some that appear clearly unnatural and bizarre.

In Liu Yumei's view, each photo had underlying problems, even those so-called accidents.

Liu Yumei asked, "Are you sure it's that family?"

Uncle Qin responded, "Some divination and calculation items were found at several scenes."

Liu Yumei nodded, "That family is most skilled at digging in discreetly, playing dead when a disaster strikes, then immediately hopping out to pick up advantages once it's over.

Ha, now this is good, having grown fat and plump, now they have to spit it all out doubled."

Liu Yumei put down the photos, gently pinched her brow, and asked, "Do you know who did this?"

Uncle Qin: "I don't know."

Liu Yumei closed her eyes, saying, "Not knowing is normal; the courthouse messengers are not as well-informed as those in Jianghu."

Uncle Qin: "Logically, such a major event should have some stir in Jianghu prior to this."

In an ordinary Jianghu, no news should surface.

But among top forces in Jianghu, signals would be exchanged.

Because though this family is not fit to walk under the sun along the river, its ability to stir the climate secretly is genuinely undeniable.

Though not a top force, they are still close enough to observe others playing cards at the table.

Those who dare take action against them in such a decisive thunderous manner must certainly not be a mere idle presence in Jianghu; only those seated at the Jianghu table could do this.

Though the Qin and Liu Families have declined, Liu Yumei doesn't often care about Jianghu matters, but still, there is a special connection, however fallen, they should have received a nod of notification.

Liu Yumei: "This truly doesn't seem like anyone secretly did it on their own. No single family could choke them yet unable to uproot them, and if several families join hands, there would surely be some wind leaked."

Indeed, if multiple families joined forces, they'd certainly not just aim to kill and wipe out. The most valuable from that family are those skilled at calculations; they are the real treasures, why kill them? It would be better to gather them and use them."

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

Either it's a new force in Jianghu that's risen with a bold style, wanting to establish dominance in this way.

This point, we'll know once someone stands by the river mouth to shout.

Or, this family somehow angered such existence capable of overturning the table.

Such existences do exist but generally won't risk action, and such grand actions are significantly damaging to themselves, not worth it.

Yet, pondering repeatedly, only these two points conform to requirements.

If it's the first possibility, when they shout their prestige, we can send a visiting card in the name of both our families.

Not seeking anything else, only to pave the way for our family's children.

Though our two families aren't the same as before, fortunately, the facade remains. Helping them bolster their momentum to gain some goodwill is an easy favor.

Aunt Liu suddenly laughed, "Old lady, before you wouldn't have thought to arrange these things."

The old lady sighed, "Time changes. For a family like ours to stand back up, the resistance is harder than new forces emerging, and essentially, we're in the same trench."

Without being able to provide the children anything else, helping him leverage some strength is what we elders ought to do.
