Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 49 Old Lai, why are you running away!

"Mr. Lai, you've finally arrived! Please have a seat!"

Du Rui pulled out his office chair for Lai Feipeng, and after Lai Feipeng sat down, he ran off to get two cans of good tea.

"Old Lai, I asked someone to buy this Maojian tea. Two small cans only weigh four ounces, and it cost me forty thousand!"

"Mr. Lai, please try it and see if it's worth the price."

Lai Feipeng didn't say anything upon hearing this, but took a sip after Du Rui had brewed the tea.

"Hmm, it's not bad, but it's still a bit worse than what I drank before."

"If you don't know how to drink it, you'll save yourself from wasting money in the future."

Du Rui's lips twitched slightly, but he still wore a smile.

“Old Lai is right. I just don’t understand it. So, when Old Lai is done with his work, please take these two cans of tea with you. I’m really wasting my time drinking this.”

"Oh? That's fine too. I just finished my tea, so I'll make do with this for now... But we agreed on this beforehand, and not a single thing can be missing!"

As he spoke, Lai Feipeng put the two cans of tea into his pocket right in front of Du Rui.

"Of course, once the matter is accomplished, not a penny will be spared, and you will be given it to us!"

Du Rui's eye twitched.

But when he remembered the expert Zhong Fa told him about at the Tianmen Funeral Home, this little bit of heartache was nothing.

Money can be earned again, but once life is gone, it's truly gone.

Zhong Fa is dead. If that unknown expert at Tianmen Funeral Home finds out that he's behind Zhong Fa, he'll be doomed!

"Tell me about it, what exactly happened?"

After drinking the good tea, Lai Feipeng felt much better.

"That's right, I previously asked someone to deal with..."

Du Rui did not hide anything and revealed his cooperation with Zhong Fa in detail.

It wasn't that he didn't want to hide it, but he was afraid that if he concealed part of it, Lai Feipeng would misjudge the situation and fail to deal with the other party.

He was the one who suffered after that!
So his idea was simple: this time, he would have Lai Feipeng take care of the unknown expert at Tianmen Funeral Home and Chen Weiyi!
As for Chen Weiyi's newly appointed curator nephew, he is not a concern.

After hearing Du Rui's explanation, Lai Feipeng laughed.

"Why did you have to go to Zhong Fa of all people?"

"Uh, does Old Lai know Zhong Fa?"

Du Rui was stunned.

"I've met him once, but I know his master."

"Speaking of which, his master was quite a figure back then, but unfortunately he was too pedantic. Before he died, he destroyed the core secret technique of his lineage and did not pass it on to his two disciples."

"Without the core secret techniques of his sect, his two disciples are naturally only half-baked."

"I remember it was a few years ago, but I forgot the exact time. I met Zhong Fa once."

"He wanted to find a wealthy family to support him, but he didn't expect that the wealthy family was already supporting me, so I taught him a lesson."

"That kid, besides having a few talismans, has no other skills whatsoever, yet he dares to imitate other members of the Yin Sect and accept offerings?"

"If it weren't for his master's sake, he would have been killed on the spot that time."

Upon hearing Lai Feipeng's words, Zhong Fa's mystique surrounding Du Rui vanished completely.

However, Du Rui remembered that when Zhong Fa demonstrated his skills to him, it seemed that it wasn't just talismans.

Without delving deeper, it seems that Zhong Fa's methods were insignificant in Old Lai's eyes.

"Then this time, I'll leave it to Elder Lai."

"I don't know how long it will take Mr. Lai to resolve this matter, so I can arrange a place for him to stay."

Lai Feipeng glanced at Du Rui.

"If you can provide me with information on everyone today, I can make my move tonight, and you'll get the results you want within three days."

"Three days..."

Du Rui frowned slightly.

"What, you think it's taking too long? Why don't you find someone else?"

Du Rui quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Mr. Lai, you misunderstand. I'm just afraid that the people from Tianmen Funeral Home will attack me during these three days."

Lai Feipeng waved his hand.

"Don't worry, after I make a move, he'll have a hard time protecting himself, let alone dealing with you. If you're not comfortable with that, just move in with me."

Hearing Lai Feipeng say that, a sense of security welled up inside me.

"Then thank you very much, Elder Lai."

As he spoke, Du Rui took out his phone and sent the information of all the people at Tianmen Funeral Home that he had prepared earlier to Lai Feipeng.

“Old Lai, these are all the staff at Tianmen Funeral Home, including all the recent personnel changes. I haven’t missed any of them.”

"Besides Chen Weiyi, who has already been identified, I don't know who the other hidden expert is, so I'll have to ask you, Elder Lai, to find him."

Lai Feipeng looked at the information on his phone. There were only about twenty people. After excluding those under thirty, there were less than ten people left.

However, Lai Feipeng did not intend to approach that colleague in that way.

"Since the funeral home belongs to Chen Weiyi, then let's just take action against him directly."

Du Rui asked curiously, "Is this a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole? What if that guy is a coward?" Lai Feipeng waved his hand.

"No, unless he doesn't want to continue to find someone to support him, otherwise my colleague won't protect the people who support him, and if word gets out, he won't be able to find anyone else to support him."

Du Rui nodded. He didn't know the rules of this industry, so he didn't say anything more.

"Alright, I'm going to find Chen Weiyi now. Call me if anything comes up."

After finishing his tea, Lai Feipeng stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Du Rui followed closely behind, his face beaming.

"Take care, Mr. Lai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lai Feipeng stopped in his tracks.

Ok?
Du Rui was taken aback.

He just said 'walk slowly,' not 'stop,' right?

While he was wondering what was going on, he saw two people standing outside the office door.

"Who are you? If you have business, go to the service hall. This is the office area!"

Du Rui straightened up, walked forward, and frowned as he spoke to the two people outside.

But the two men only glanced at him before turning their attention to what was behind him.

"Lai Feipeng?"

Chen Guokun looked at Lai Feipeng and then took out his ID.

Du Rui was taken aback, looking at the name on the other person's ID.

Emergency Management Bureau

What department is this?
But the other party seems to know Mr. Lai?
Just as Du Rui turned around to ask a question, he suddenly heard a voice.

"It's me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Du Rui was taken aback. He turned around and saw that the usually stern face now wore a kind smile.

Is this the same old Lai from before?

"Why did you leave Shannan City without reporting it to the authorities?"

Upon hearing this, Lai Feipeng's eyes twitched.

"Uh, I'm here to meet a friend and I'll leave this afternoon. I won't be staying overnight, so I don't need to report this, right?"

Just as Lai Feipeng finished speaking, the person next to Chen Guokun said, "It's fake."

Lai Feipeng's expression froze.

"What do you mean fake? Young man, I really am here to see a friend. This is Mr. Du Rui, my friend."

"fake."

The same reply made Lai Feipeng's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Upon seeing Chen Guokun put away his documents, his expression changed, and he immediately stood up straight and said, "I'll go back to Shannan City right away!"

"real."

Tong Yu said.

Chen Guokun withdrew his hand and did nothing else, leaving it hanging limply at his sides.

"Then let's go. Remember to report when you get to Shannan City, otherwise I'll think you have other ideas."

"Understood, I'll be leaving now, I'll be leaving now!"

Du Rui was stunned as he watched Lai Feipeng leave.

"Old Lai, Old Lai, what's going on? Why are you running away!"

Upon hearing this, Lai Feipeng didn't even glance at Du Rui, inwardly cursing his bad luck.

He had previously acted without authorization in Shannan City, violating the regulations of the Administration Bureau, and was listed as a person on the yellow list.

Although he was officially told that he needed to report his departure from Shannan City, the management was not very strict.

He had been to the surrounding counties of Shannan City before, and as long as he didn't cause trouble, no one ever bothered him.

Who knew that this time he would actually cause trouble and get caught.

Could it be that he has been bugged or something?

No, if there was a bug, then there would have been no need to question him earlier.

Suddenly, Lai Feipeng sensed something was wrong. He stopped and turned to look behind him.

Neither of those two investigators from the Administration Bureau followed us!

Startled for a moment, Lai Feipeng slapped his forehead, remembering what Du Rui had told him.

By this point, Lai Feipeng understood perfectly well.
The Administration Bureau wasn't there to cause him any trouble; they were there to find Du Rui!
"Thank goodness, thank goodness we didn't do anything, otherwise we might have been caught the moment we took action."

Feeling a lingering fear, Lai Feipeng cursed himself for being foolish.

It's only a million, why risk your life!
Spitting, Lai Feipeng clutched the tea leaves in his pocket and quickly left.

Next time, if I don't have two million, I'm not going to cause any more trouble!
