Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 762 - 136:

Tan Wenbin blows out a smoke ring, waves his hand, and says, no problem, your son can now do addition and subtraction with his lifespan.

Tan Yunlong says, "This case is very serious in nature. As a citizen, there is a responsibility and obligation to cooperate with the police, to create a harmonious and safe social environment..." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Tan Wenbin nods continuously, thinking his own father is just like him, smart.

Tan Yunlong: "...If you can find her, discover her, report it to the police immediately."

"Got it!"

Tan Wenbin extinguishes the cigarette butt, waves his hand: "Dad, I'm leaving. I may be going far away recently, so you should spend more time at home with mom."

"You don't need to teach me that."

"The problem is you're so busy with work that you don't accompany your wife. Your wife seeks my girlfriend for company, then I have to drive her, but I'm also busy, you know?"

"Get out!"

Tan Wenbin leaves the police station, looks at the imposing signs on both sides as he reaches the door.

He remembers Brother Xiao Yuan saying before that Mr. Li would hug the station signs proactively when confronted with dirty business.

In the past, Brother Xiao Yuan and Run Sheng even used him as a temporary sign, hugging him.

Wouldn't today's trip also count as "hugging the sign"?

Anyway, since he's come.

Tan Wenbin walks up to the plaque and opens his arms, giving it a warm embrace.

"Hey, Binbin?" Officer Zhou happens to walk in from outside, sees this scene, and laughs, "You should have applied to the police academy sooner!"

"Huh?" Tan Wenbin laughs while brushing dust off his chest, "The revolution has different divisions of labor."

"No worries, once graduated, there's always a chance."

"I prefer dealing with water."

"That's fine too, hydraulic engineering contributes to national development!"

...

Dusk, outside the middle school after classes.

"Remember, tomorrow you must hand over this amount of money again, you hear me?"

"I... I don't have any more."

"No more? Ha, it's just like today, sneak out money from your home, isn't it?"

"If I take more, my parents will find out, really."

"I don't care if your parents find out. Remember, if you don't show up with money tomorrow, think about what'll happen to you."

"I..."

"Slap!"

A slap knocks the male student down, a thug presses his shoe onto the boy's chest, spits heavily onto the boy's face.

"This is just an appetizer. If you can't cough up the money tomorrow, I'll treat you to a feast in the bathroom, hahaha!"

"I'll pay... I'll pay..."

"Boom!"

The thug kicks the boy again: "Scram, see you tomorrow, don't think about hiding from us, we have plenty of ways to find you."

The boy climbs up in distress, crying as he runs away.

Three thugs gather together, count the money, and split it promptly.

At this moment, a female student walks by, and one of the thugs steps forward and gives the girl a heavy slap on the butt.

"Ah!"

The girl screams and runs away.

The thug sniffs his palm in front of his nose, letting out a proud and piercing laugh.

At this time, another thug pokes him, points elsewhere. Across the street, at a small stall, a young man who is clearly a bookworm is paying. He holds a wad of cash, counting change to hand over to the vendor.

Beside the young man stands a young woman, carrying a bag and wearing a skirt, the two are arguing.

"Brother Hu, that girl is so fair."

"Yeah, really fair, damn tender."

"Not from the middle school, right? Must be from a nearby university?"

"Probably."

Three thugs' gaze is immediately drawn to Yin Meng.

Yin Meng is already good-looking, and Aunt Liu used special methods to whiten her, plus she deliberately dressed up today, looking even more youthful and vibrant.

Unconsciously, the three thugs start drifting over, eager to see the commotion or play hero saving the beauty, anyway, there's no harm.

However, before they can cross the street, the two strangers finish their purchases and walk over of their own accord.

The man proactively hands the cash to the woman, stuffing it into her purse.

Lin Shuyou: "This is all the living expenses my family gave me for this semester, you can keep it for me."

Yin Meng sneers as she puts the money in her bag: "What do I want this money for, huh, I really despise your family's nouveau riche ways."

Lin Shuyou: "You can criticize me, but you can't speak ill of my family!"

"I'll say it, I just said it, so what? Isn't your family just a bunch of nouveau riche, what's with the arrogance."

"That's still better than your family, your family used to be wealthy, but now it's just a chicken feather!"

"Even a chicken feather from a phoenix is better than anything from your family, such small roles are incomparable!"

"Hey, a brave man doesn't boast about past glories, look at what's left of your family now!"

Then, the two engage in a heated exchange, hurling insults about "nouveau riche" and "declining aristocracy"

The three thugs figured it out, the man was trying to please the woman, but she wasn't being receptive, she used to come from a very well-off family, but now not so much, yet the man's family is currently wealthy.

The two are clearly arguing intensely, nearly tearing each other's face, cursing with flushed faces, not at all acting.

Moreover, these two are talking so much, even as the three thugs are close enough, they don't know how to cut in.

Lin Shuyou: "Look at your family's current poor state!"

Yin Meng: "What poor state, my granddad buried treasures in the backyard of our old home after my birth, whenever I need, I can retrieve them anytime!"

Following local customs, after Yin Meng's birth, her grandfather buried two jars of wine for her, to be opened when Yin Meng gets married.
