Chapter 271: Chapter 48_2Hung up the phone, pulled out a cigarette, and just as he was striking a match, the phone rang again. "F**k!" Tan Wenbin stuffed the cigarette back and picked up the phone. On the other end, his father’s gentle and friendly voice came through: "Zhuiyuan, is something the matter? Don’t worry, just tell uncle soon, and I’ll help you solve it." "Dad." "Scum." Tan Wenbin: "..." Tan Wenbin felt that what always made maintaining a father-son relationship difficult was precisely this blood connection. If it wasn’t for the young photos of his dad, which almost looked as if carved out of the same mold as his, he would doubt whether he was adopted or whether his parents had enacted some tragic romance drama like those shown on TV. "Dad, I need to tell you something, I’m playing cards in Xiting Town." The other end fell silent. "How about, you come and arrest me?" Silence continued on the other end. "Dad, first come pick me up in Shinan, then we can go to Xiting together to catch me gambling." "Did Xiao Yuan tell you to say this?" "Ah, um." "Click..." The phone on the other end hung up. Tan Wenbin took out some money to pay the phone bill and then grabbed a handful of bubble gum. Shortly after, he saw a motorbike approaching. Tan Wenbin waved and walked over proactively. The motorcycle skidded to a halt, kicking up a cloud of dust in his face. "Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" "Get on." "Oh, okay." As soon as he sat on the bike, it sped up, and Tan Wenbin had to hold tightly onto his father’s waist. "Dad, slow down, if something happens to us both, wouldn’t that be liberating for mom?" After saying that, Tan Wenbin somewhat regretted it, wondering how he dared to joke with his dad like this. Mostly because yesterday, he was truly shown the ropes by Xiao Yuan, and no matter how scary his dad was, it couldn’t compare to that bunch of corpses. Surprisingly to Tan Wenbin, his dad didn’t seem angry; instead, through the motorcycle’s rearview mirror, he could see his dad’s lips curling up, as if smiling. After entering Xiting Town, Tan Wenbin directed them, entered the village, and then he got off the bike first and walked into a hall, which Run Sheng had mentioned his grandfather liked losing money at. After Tan Wenbin entered, Tan Yunlong also got off the bike and walked in, helmet in hand. He flipped over the gambling table, kicking his son out without even needing to show his ID or reveal his identity, as the gamblers in the hall didn’t dare really do anything to him. Some people have an inherent aura. After wrecking the place, the father and son walked out, and Tan Wenbin led his dad to Zhou Yong’s house front, with Run Sheng standing there too. "Dad, we’ve been inside before, so, should we go back in to handle the fingerprints or something? After all, you are the professional." "You have been inside." "Uh, yes, last night we went inside." "You have been inside." "Yes, we’ve been inside, and although we cleaned up, it surely wasn’t thorough..." Tan Yunlong felt that if Xiao Yuan were here, this kind of pointless talk wouldn’t be happening. He turned his head and looked at Run Sheng: "Where to next?" Run Sheng answered: "The riverside." Tan Wenbin pondered for a long time, finally realizing that since his dad said they had been inside, then they had been inside, and any traces left behind were normal. And as long as it’s said that they had been inside, there’s no need to go in again now. The three arrived at the riverside. Run Sheng cast a net in the river, the body hadn’t drifted away, still lingering there. Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even Tan Yunlong, who had seen many criminal investigation scenes, couldn’t help furrowing his brow deeply at this scene, a look of astonishment on his face: "What did you guys actually do?" ... Li Zhiyuan woke up. He opened his eyes, habitually turned his head to look towards the door, but didn’t see the girl’s silhouette. Because he was now blind. Soon, his hand was grasped by a warm little hand. "Alii, how long have I slept?" Three fingers were held up. Three days then, that’s quite long. "Has Grandmaster come back?" His hand was shaken. "Run Sheng and Binbin?" His hand was shaken again. "I want to take a bath." Saying this, Li Zhiyuan moved his face close to the girl, sniffing. Liu Yumei always perfumed Alii’s clothes differently depending on the style. The scent now, it had faded. Proving that the girl had been by his side throughout. "Alii, you go take a bath too, and then, get some sleep." Alii reached to help him off the bed, Li Zhiyuan waved her off: "It’s fine, I can do it. At home, it doesn’t matter whether I can see or not." Alii got up and left. Li Zhiyuan sat by the bed for a while, then got off the bed. At first, when he was newly blind, he had some trouble adjusting, but now, he felt he had gotten used to it, even starting to worry about how he’d adjust to seeing again. The layout of his room surfaced in his mind, every step calculated, walking along, he reached out, pushed open the door, then turned right, passed the Grandmaster’s room, and continued to the right. Finally, he pushed open the bathroom door and walked in. Clean clothes had been neatly folded and placed on a rack at the bathroom entrance; the only difficulty was pouring hot water into the bucket and adjusting it with cold water, but he managed carefully. After the bath, having changed clothes, Li Zhiyuan walked outside to catch some fresh air, feeling revived. Back at his room entrance, he sat down in a wicker chair. Downstairs, Liu Yumei, who was combing her freshly-bathed granddaughter’s hair, witnessed the boy very calmly walking back to sit down. The wicker chair at the edge of the terrace was dangerous, she thought to remind him but held back. Her granddaughter wanted to get up, but she gently pressed down, saying: "Alii, even if he can’t see, we need to be beautiful in front of him, right?"
