Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 806 - 145

The drafty attic, the decayed bed; the raised floorboards, the peeling walls.

Yin Meng sat on a wobbly stool, assessing her VIP room.

She knows very well that if she goes Walking Yin now, she should see gold and jade splendor.

But she is now very afraid of Walking Yin; each brief venture leaves her with the pain of someone chiseling into her skull.

Outside the attic, two maids stand.

They're not hard to handle; just flip down the other side to avoid them. Yet, here at the palace's periphery, there are still traps covered.

Most importantly, even if she leaves here now, she wouldn't know where to find her companions.

With no other choice, she could only take out some powder with weak toxicity but strong reaction from her backpack, snap off a piece of wood in the room, and rub it with the powder.

"Crackle, crackle..."

The red-and-blue smoke rises just like that.

She placed the wood by the window sill.

Rather than running blindly herself, it's better to send a signal and wait in peace.

Indeed, she did not wait long; in the distance, she saw Tan Wenbin, a stranger, a middle-aged man following an eunuch's shadow walking towards here.

The eunuch dismissed the shadow of the two maids downstairs.

Xiong Shan stayed below, while Tan Wenbin dashed upstairs.

"Hey, here to admire Meng Meng's private villa."

Yin Meng rolled her eyes at him and slung the hiking bag over her shoulder, asking, "Can we go now?"

"Wait a bit longer, first give me the incense you brought for Run Sheng from your bag, I need to attend to something."

Yin Meng took two boxes from her bag and handed them to him.

"What are you attending to?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Prepare some big gifts, pull some strings, use the back door."

"Who's the person downstairs?"

"Mr. Wang, a good man, an old fellow-countryman; a Shu native whose family committed a crime during childhood, confiscated, and then was sent to the palace as an eunuch."

"You know that's not who I was asking about."

"Called Xiong Shan, not one of our own."

"Understood."

Tan Wenbin packed the stuff and waved his hand, "Alright, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

Going downstairs, Mr. Wang took Tan Wenbin away.

Xiong Shan continued standing downstairs, not coming up.

Shortly afterward, Tan Wenbin returned, accompanied not only by Mr. Wang but a great eunuch wearing red eunuch attire.

This great eunuch was older, yet his complexion was paler, exuding a sense of grandeur.

The previous Mr. Wang, beside the great eunuch, was also cautious and flattering.

Xiong Shan truly felt this young man surnamed Tan from the youth team, extremely distinct.

Seemingly unassuming, also slightly out of tune, yet each time producing extraordinary results.

He himself was a captain, from a team-building perspective, even if the second and third elder brothers didn't have issues, indeed, his team lacked such a person.

Sometimes, not everything needs to be solved by force.

Xiong Shan suddenly laughed self-mockingly, what's the use of contemplating these now?

The death of the second and third elder brothers shattered his already riddled defenses, now he only wishes to safely pass through this tide, allowing him to normally relight the lamp and exit Jianghu.

Tan Wenbin led the great eunuch over, and as the great eunuch walked, he said:

"Xiao Binzi, we trust you, thus willing to lend you a hand. We are also pitiful, lost the root, and lost life early, whether promises afterward will be fulfilled, depends entirely on your conscience, Xiao Binzi."

Tan Wenbin: "Rest assured, godfather!"

Xiong Shan: "..."

Yin Meng was called down, joining them with the great eunuch before the dilapidated palace.

Once he arrived, he directly dispersed all nearby maidservants and little eunuchs, making the surroundings instantly desolate.

Tan Wenbin lit a thin incense stick, inserting it into the ground: "Brother Wang, take a puff first."

Immediately after, Tan Wenbin lit a thick incense stick, held it up and approached the great eunuch: "Godfather, take this."

"Put it on the ground, lest you tire yourself."

"Hey, there's not much to do now, just showing some filial respect to you."

"You brat, have you ever served your biological father so diligently?"

"I have, but you never saw it; when I made mistakes as a child, when the tutor called my father for a talk, I was quite industrious at home, washing clothes and mopping floors. When my father came back, I was willing to kneel at the door to change his clogs."

"Hehehe." The great eunuch laughed.

Nearby, squatting and smoking, little Mr. Wang also laughed along.

"Put down, let's sit and savor, ultimately no one feeds you like yourself."

"Hey."

Tan Wenbin inserted the thick incense into the ground, then took out wound disinfecting alcohol from his bag, poured it into plastic cups, placing one in front of each person.

Little Mr. Wang hurriedly took a sip from afar, and his originally translucent face strangely blushed, feeling intoxicated.

The great eunuch looked at him, spat and said: "Worthless thing."

Then, the great eunuch took another puff of incense, sipping the alcohol:

"Hiss, Xiao Binzi, your alcohol, truly strong indeed."

Little Mr. Wang immediately nodded in agreement.

"Rest assured, godfather, every holiday, I will ensure you this drink."

Speaking, Tan Wenbin secretly signaled to little Mr. Wang that he too would have it.

Little Mr. Wang secretly replied with a "got it" smile.

"Sigh, when I was alive, always felt the blood food was vital, after losing the root and entering the palace, still had to properly support those brothers' families, hoping that later those nephews and nieces, should somewhat remember my kindness, someday when offering to their own parents, at least leave me a bite.
