Cannon fodder

and smiled playfully: "I'm hiding from him, he didn't see me... Besides, a place like Ritz Carlton is very good at protecting guests' privacy, he just took the high-speed elevator."My dear brother, w...This man named Achhi is from a different branch of the family, and he's in our age group, but older than us.

He sat on the sofa, awkwardly rubbing his hands and said: “I’m really sorry, I came empty-handed. Don’t mind me…”

"Let's not beat around the bush. Although my grandfather has delegated power to me, I know deep down whether people in the family truly accept it or just pretend to. Just get to the point, I'm very busy."

He actually has the nerve to say he's busy Busy playing games or dating, huh

Lin Yanqin is such a worry-free person, you don't need to waste your time and energy coaxing her, she's just busy playing games!

"Well, then I'll just be blunt... I opened a small company that provides all-inclusive funeral services."

"Hmm."

"Business has been booming lately, which should be a good thing, but the recent commissions have been too strange. I'm starting to feel scared. Having heard that you are the current homeowner, I came to seek your guidance." Archie's voice trembled slightly.

I peeked through the crack in the door. This Archie was wearing black-rimmed glasses, of medium build with fair skin and dressed in business attire, looking like a polite gentleman. However, the large gold ring on his hand exposed his nouveau riche status.

The funeral industry is a highly profitable industry, but most people are not willing to work in it.

This industry is either an inheritance or operated by insiders. It's easy for ordinary people to attract bad luck if they enter this line of work.

"My small company only has eight people in total, the employees are basically all male, just one female receptionist. Generally, the peak profit periods are at the end of summer and winter..."

My brother was taken aback: "Can you choose the date of death"

"Hi, many people suffering from illnesses can't stand the sweltering heat and harsh cold. Don't you notice"

"That makes some sense." My brother nodded. "What does your one-stop service include"

Aki lowered his voice and held up two fingers. "Our services are divided into two categories: one is for those who don't believe in Taoism or Buddhism, and their families don't require rituals to guide the soul. This type follows standard pricing, mainly focusing on body repair, corpse beautification, funeral arrangements, transport to the crematorium, cremation urn preparation, and composing elegies..."

"What is that special service How much does it cost"

"Special, according to faith, please ask monks or Taoists to perform rituals for the deceased. Then you need to see if the body needs to be sewn up and cosmetically prepared… The subsequent procedures are the same, but the price is much higher, starting at 100,000 yuan, generally all-inclusive for 150,000 yuan, also including grave-side weeping services and a year of free tomb sweeping."

Pff! This is just ridiculous… Tomb-sweeping and crying at the grave comes with extras!

My brother couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth: "You guys are really ruthless, making so much money! With seven or eight orders a month, you can earn millions!"

"Well, it's alright I guess," Archie scratched his head and chuckled twice. "It can't compare to the boss's, though. The boss throws around tens or hundreds of millions at a time! It's all over the circle!"

"With your business so thriving, what kind of strange things could you possibly encounter"

Achilles whispered, "Lately, all the commissions I've received have been the same: to go to the funeral home and mend corpses."

Repairing corpses is a common practice in the embalming industry. Some people who die from accidents have bodies that are incomplete and need to be made presentable.

Archie is a mortician who inherited the family business. He personally sews up corpses, usually with an employee to assist him. He's been in this line of work for many years, but he's never received so many corpse-repairing orders before.

Until his company's only female employee suddenly asked, "How come it's all women Is there a serial killer around recently"

Archie suddenly realized that all the corpses he had been stitching together these days were female.

"Boss, those corpses are pretty fresh, not the rotten kind. I sew bodies at the mortuary in the crematorium every day...Sewing for so long, anyone would be overwhelmed! I'm under a lot of mental pressure. The other night, while I was mending, I was so tired that I dozed off on a bench in the mortuary for a bit."

"I was half asleep and felt someone coming in, thinking it was a relative who came to keep watch at night, so I ignored it and slept until morning. My colleague from the company woke me up and told me that the body didn't need to be sewn up anymore, as the family had already taken it away for cremation."

"What the heck, is this messing with me! But since the family paid up, I'm too lazy to care. On my way back in the car, I noticed the company secretary was acting weird, her eyes were kinda glazed over. I thought this little slut had gone out and played hooky all night."

"But she didn't come to work yesterday, and her phone was off. The police came to question me in the afternoon, and I was released this morning..."

My brother, hearing this, couldn't help but frown and ask, "Dead"

Archie's face was a bit pale: "Yeah."

He raised his hand and drew a circle on his waist, swallowing hard. "According to the police, from this part of my waist, it was... broken into two pieces... And the lower half is gone..."

My brother furrowed his brow.

"Boss, lately I've been getting a lot of dismemberment and reassembly jobs. Is something haunting me An employee died recently, who knows if it'll be my turn next" Archie asked with fear in his voice.

"Come on, you haven't done anything wrong, why are you scared of someone knocking" My brother raised an eyebrow.

Achoo stammered, "Doing business... businessmen... it's inevitable that sometimes you might hurt others..."

My brother sneered: "I think you're afraid of being entangled by this woman who died in two halves Going to the mortuary at night, you didn't bring a young man with enough yang energy, but brought a young woman instead. You've been doing this line for so many years and don't you understand taboos Your relationship with this woman isn't shallow."

Achhan's sweat dripped from his forehead, he said awkwardly: "The master truly has piercing eyes! Nothing can escape the master's gaze, haha, haha..."

This Ah Qi's eyes flickered, he probably had some entanglement with this woman, now he was afraid that the woman would come back from the dead to seek revenge.

"Master, although our families are separated, we're still relatives! You can't just stand by and watch!" He slid down the sofa and knelt before my brother.

"I'll give you whatever amount for the hardship fee, I'll sell the company if I have to! Please, please save me. I... my child is still young, I'm afraid something will happen to him!"

My brother rolled his eyes: "Don't try that with me! You made a mess, and now you come to the head of the family to clean it up What nerve!"

"Upon hearing this, Archie immediately bowed to my brother and said, 'Master, I really didn't cheat. My wife and I divorced several years ago!'"

He bent down, and my brother leaned forward slightly, as if he saw something on the back of his neck. He turned his head towards me and shouted, "Xiao Qiao, come here!"

I opened the door and walked into the shop. Archie saw me and hurriedly said with a smile, “Miss is here too! That’s great. I heard that Miss has the kindest heart—”

"Shut up," my brother glared at him, stood up and pulled me to the counter, whispering in my ear: "This guy has a red line standing up on the back of his neck..."

I raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at my brother, not understanding what he meant.

"Do you remember the old monster from Xiling Village who soaked in a jar of human skin They were all peeled from the top of the head to the back..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! any improper thoughts."An unreasonable thought Look at myself, this unkempt appearance. I'd be perfectly safe walking down the street like this. Mu Wanchen is worrying too much.After bowing, Bei Tan...
