Corpse Recovery Diver

But they are also a mirror, allowing Li Zhiyuan to see the other side of Zou Jiang's failure.

From this, one can also see Grandma Liu's abilities; she forcefully pulled Uncle Qin, who was supposed to spend his remaining years in decadence, back to spirit. Though he no longer possesses the sharpness of his youth, he is far from dispirited.

Li Zhiyuan walked to the altar table, where Xiong Shan and Lihua, having found their backbone, calmed down and slowly stood up.

The young man held yellow paper, approached the candle to light it, then casually tossed it forward and opened his mouth:

"The child has a name now, Yu, Xiong Yu."

Xiong Shan and Lihua were first taken aback, then knelt down again and bowed toward the peach grove.

Their purpose in coming here was to seek future protection for the child, and unexpectedly, in just under two nights, this purpose was fulfilled.

This place is indeed a paradise blessed by heaven.

"Let's go, time to rest."

...

Xue Liangliang returned early in the morning.

He stayed under the river the entire second half of the night, while Liu Changping slept in the car until dawn.

After bringing Xue Liangliang back, Liu Changping's chauffeuring task was considered complete.

He could have stayed a few more days since his pay is calculated daily, with fuel expenses covered separately.

But with the year-end approaching, his partner's younger brother's return meant their post-new year wedding plans need renegotiation; he had to go back to accompany and also treat the brother-in-law to a drink.

Xue Liangliang paid Tan Wenbin for the chauffeuring service.

After all, the car was nominally rented for Xiao Yuan, but all it did was run his errands.

Originally, I wanted to give an extra red envelope, but Liu Changping firmly refused, but he didn't reject the Nantong specialties Li Sanjiang wanted to give him; they were packed into the car.

Before leaving, according to Nantong local customs, the "child" visiting for the first time should receive a red envelope, indicating he was not treated as just a driver.

Liu Changping accepted it.

However, after driving away, he returned with a lot of cigarettes and alcohol, afraid Li Sanjiang wouldn't accept them. He placed them on the newly widened road, honked continuously until someone from the house came out, then quickly drove off.

The price of these cigarettes and alcohol was much higher than the specialties and that small red envelope.

In the morning, Aunt Zhang came to call Li Zhiyuan to answer the phone.

Li Zhiyuan picked up the phone, it was Yin Meng calling.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, Grandma Liu said she would take Alii back to Nantong for the new year, but since Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu haven't returned yet, she'll wait until they can go together."

"Okay, I know."

"That's all, we'll be heading back this afternoon."

"No rush."

"Hmm? Brother Xiao Yuan, could you specify?"

"I was neglectful when I called yesterday, now since there are no problems and I am in Nantong, it's very safe.

So, you all can go home for the new year a little later.

Run Sheng can't get out of bed now; coming back in this state would make Grandmaster and Mr. Shan quite upset.

Brother Binbin and Ah You can stay in school and finish the semester exams, so they don't have to make up exams next year."

"Okay, Brother Xiao Yuan, I'll talk to them and then update you."

"If they agree, no need to update, save the trouble."

"Got it."

Yin Meng hung up, with one hand on her chest, feeling her heart "thumping."

She immediately went down to inform everyone about the matter.

No one had any objections to the issue itself; instead, everyone was shocked by Brother Xiao Yuan's rare kindness.

Lin Shuyou: "Miss Qin Li isn't beside Brother Xiao Yuan, right?"

Yin Meng: "No."

Lin Shuyou: "Then did Brother Xiao Yuan undergo some kind of stimulation?"

Tan Wenbin: "How about it, Meng Meng, you head back first, with us all able to manage, Run Sheng can be taken care of by Ah You and Lu Yi, which is fine."

Run Sheng nodded.

Yin Meng: "No, handing Run Sheng over to others for care, I'm not comfortable."

After a pause, Yin Meng added: "Besides, Brother Xiao Yuan has already instructed, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go back alone abruptly."

Tan Wenbin: "Alright then, go with Brother Xiao Yuan's plan, I need to check the exam schedule anyways."

Looking at the exam schedule wasn't to pinpoint exam times, but to leverage class leader status to build connections with respective subject teachers.

University exams offer a lot of freedom; whether strict or lenient often depends on the teacher's personal discretion.

In the following days, Tan Wenbin used a crutch for many meals and tea sessions with numerous teachers.

Teachers who hadn't defined the exam scope did so.

Those who had, gave specific examples.

The calculus teacher, after drinking too much and getting happy, directly handed the exam paper to Tan Wenbin.

This made Tan Wenbin uneasy, worried the teacher would get into trouble, so he split the exam into three versions, copied them, and distributed to classmates.

Overall, while students in other classes were anxious, class one was enjoying "frequent good news."

Tan Wenbin's class leader status improved further during the semester's end.

After all, he didn't do any of the tedious tasks typical of other class leaders; instead, he passed those to the class secretary and accomplished many things others couldn't.

Lin Shuyou regained his eyesight to read and write, excitedly hugging a pile of copied papers as he followed Tan Wenbin back to the dormitory.

"Brother Bin, if the counselor reelects class leaders next semester, you'd certainly win again by a landslide."

"If all school leaders were like me, this school would become a mess."

"Brother Bin, you don't have to say such things about yourself."
