Liang Lili became a bit anxious upon hearing this. "Old Master Yu, please, just help me out!"
Old Yu waved his hand dismissively. "I'm sorry, but I can't take on this task."
Liang Lili wanted to continue pleading, but Old Yu had already stood up and returned to his room.
Seeing this, Liang Lili was almost in tears.
"He Jiong, you have to help me!" Liang Lili pleaded.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this," I assured her.
Only then did Liang Lili seem to relax.
Before leaving, she added, "By the way, He Jiong, you mustn't tell your parents about this!"
I understood that she didn't want my parents to know about our breakup years ago, so I agreed to her request.
That night, Liang Lili came by again, but this time she wasn't asking for my help; she was here to reconcile.
She arrived at my rented place wearing a revealing outfit.
As soon as she stepped inside, she threw herself into my arms. "He Jiong, I've missed you so much..."
I was startled by Liang Lili's sudden move and quickly pushed her away. "What’s wrong with you?"
With tears in her eyes, Liang Lili said, "He Jiong, the truth is I was forced by my family to break up with you."
"Later on, I realized that I had fallen in love with you, so I wanted to come back and reconcile."
Hearing this made me feel a bit touched.
Then Liang Lili added, "My mom said that as long as you help me retrieve my uncle's body..."
"They agreed to let us be together."
Hearing this made my heart flutter.
So in the end, I agreed to go to Jiangxi with Liang Lili for the body retrieval.
The next morning, I boarded the train to Jiangxi with Liang Lili.
On the way, I called Old Yu to inform him about my trip to Poyang Lake for the body retrieval.
There was a long silence on the other end before Old Yu finally spoke, "He Jiong, you need to think this through."
"I've already made up my mind," I replied firmly.
"Ah..." Old Yu sighed and then hung up the phone.
Liang Lili curiously asked, "What did Old Master Yu say?"
I replied, "He didn't say much."
Liang Lili nodded thoughtfully.
Before long, we arrived in Jiangxi.
Liang Lili had already contacted the local recovery team, so as soon as we got off the train, someone came to pick us up.
"You must be Miss Liang's friends," a man in his thirties approached us and greeted us.
Liang Lili nodded, "Yes, he is my boyfriend."
The man extended his hand towards me, "Hello, I'm the Captain of the Recovery Team here."
I shook his hand and replied, "Hello."
Liang Lili then asked, "When are you leaving?"
The man replied, "We're leaving right now."
Liang Lili nodded.
The man added, "By the way, we've already contacted a well-known Grave Robber. He mentioned that this situation is a bit tricky, so he needs an additional fifty thousand."
Liang Lili hesitated, "We need to pay more?"
The man explained, "That's the condition set by the Grave Robber; we have no choice."
After thinking for a moment, Liang Lili finally gritted her teeth and agreed, "Alright, let's add the money."
We then discussed the specific details before boarding a speedboat heading towards the incident area.
Before long, we arrived at the site of the incident.
It was indeed a very complex waterway, with not only swift currents but also many hidden eddies and aquatic plants.
No wonder so many people drown here every year.
