Chapter 219: You Still Want Me to Go to the Hospital?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Yidao looked at the mission prompt, his expression full of confusion.

The system was so capricious.

Why were the temporary missions being issued so frequently?

Considering the extended period of system upgrades, there were hardly any temporary missions before.

The last one had just been completed.

Li Yidao found it hard to believe.

[Temporary Mission: Conduct a unique funeral for Wang Qiang.] [Mission completion rewards: One God’s Gift Box, one Grim Reaper Box.]

It was the standard offering for temporary missions, two boxes.

Li Yidao wasn’t particularly surprised.

Moreover…

If it was just these two boxes, the task wouldn’t be too challenging.

Otherwise, the system wouldn’t only offer two boxes.

For instance, the previous task rewarded the Soul Exploration skill.

But he had also experienced life and death!

If he hadn’t been relatively lucky, he might have been dead by now.

In this way… Li Yidao also realized that the rewards for a task were directly proportional to what you need to pay.

Tomorrow, he should go and take a look.

This time, there was no possibility of rejection.

“Mr. Li? Is that okay? I’m begging you.”

“They all told me that only you have the means, the possibility to make Qiangzi leave with a bit of peace of mind.”

“The others simply don’t have that capability.”

“Are you dissatisfied with the amount of money? But it’s really all I have. Just see what you can arrange with it.”

Hearing Li Yidao speak halfway, she quickly spoke up, afraid that Li Yidao might choose to refuse.

Listening to the faint pleading tone in her voice, Li Yidao fell silent.

Some people… Some things really could not be judged by the mortal’s eyes.

Every person had radically different perspectives.

Good or bad was just a label seen through different lenses.

As for what was good and what was bad, leave everything for time to judge.

“I’ll take on this funeral, but I can’t say for sure how it will ultimately be arranged,” Li Yidao replied softly. Hearing his voice, the tone of the other party also relaxed.

“Rest assured, just use the money I’ve given you to make the arrangements as long as it can make Qiangzi leave peacefully. As for the rest, it doesn’t matter.”

The person on the other end of the phone was very happy, finally getting the news they wanted. Li Yidao also responded softly, “Alright, then it’s settled. Tell me the location of the funeral, and I’ll be there on time.

However, after Li Yidao said this, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.

Then, with a bitter smile, she said, “Um… I don’t know if I could trouble you to pick up his body from the hospital? Now the police say Qiangzi’s case involves some matters, and it can’t be claimed immediately. But someone told me that if you could help…”

Upon hearing this, Li Yidao fell silent.

F*ck!

Were you playing tricks with me?

Were you kidding me?

There might indeed be some considerations. But her actual goal seemed to be wanting me to take Wang Qiang out of the hospital, right?

Indeed, Wang Qiang was definitely not that easy to take away.

Even if he was dead, there would surely be some autopsy needed to find so-called evidence.

But now…

It was obvious that Wang Qiang’s aunt didn’t want him to go through this.

She wanted him to take Wang Qiang away?

“Can you take Qiangzi out, bury him anywhere, or just cremate him?”

“He’s dead… I don’t know what crime he committed in his lifetime. But isn’t it over once a person is dead?”

“You say once a person is gone, will he suffer again? Besides, Qiangzi was very filial, he used to visit me a lot.’

“I just want… to let him leave more peacefully.”

Obviously, the other party was playing the emotional card.

She might as well try a little bit of pity.

She knew Brother Dao’s temper.

She knew some of the information online.

This Brother Dao was definitely not simple!

She summoned the courage for this call.

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Li Yidao sighed helplessly.

If it weren’t for the temporary mission, Li Yidao would definitely not take action.

What did it have to do with him whether Wang Qiang die peacefully?

But…

Now that he has already agreed.

There was no room to refuse.

Words spoken were like water poured out.

Refusal was impossible now. “I got it, I’ll handle it.”

“Where can I find you?”

Since he had agreed to the funeral, he would see it through to the end.

“You don’t need to come find me. Just give me an account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you. The rest is up to you,” she explained.

“I’m disabled, and moving around is not very convenient. Also, I don’t want others to know about my relationship with Qiangzi. Who knows if he has any enemies? If someone comes to bother me, as a disabled person, I really can’t handle it.”

Upon hearing the other party’s words, Li Yidao was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes became extremely gloomy.

He thought, “D*mn! What kind of logic is this? You’re afraid of problems, you’re afraid of complications? But have you ever thought about whether I might encounter problems if I handle this for you?”

For a moment, Li Yidao could only remain silent.

After all, Wang Qiang used to ride on Brother Dao’s popularity, endlessly disparaging Brother Dao.

But in the end, Brother Dao was actually going to help him with the funeral?

“This… If attentive netizens see this, things won’t be so simple!” Li Yidao thought.

“But since I’ve already promised the woman, then I can only go through with it. Or, looking at it from the perspective of my task, I should go make a trip. At least, that’s how it seems for now.”

Waking up, Li Yidao glanced at the time.

It was still early. If possible, he planned to resolve the matter for Wang Qiang now.

Burial was certainly impossible. If the deceased’s family hadn’t stepped forward, where could he bury the body?

Randomly choosing a place wouldn’t serve any purpose; it would be like leaving the soul wandering aimlessly.

For now, Li Yidao’s plan was simple: cremate Wang Qiang’s body and then find a tombstone for his burial.

Everyone knew a tombstone represented permanent property rights, lasting indefinitely.

As for maintenance, that was not within his concerns.

Li Yidao walked out of the bedroom, and it seemed both Sister Zhou and Li Xinting were still asleep, evidently exhausted from the events of the previous day.

However, Yang Qingyue was already awake, sitting outside with a bucket of water in front of her.

At a casual glance, the water seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, one could notice a peculiar phenomenon.

Except for the top layer of water droplets that remained still, all the droplets below were constantly in motion.

This ability fascinated Li Yidao, making him realize that the woman indeed possessed certain abilities.

“Are you going out?” Her tone remained calm, as if nothing could disturb her.

Li Yidao nodded gently, “I have something to attend to. If everything goes well, I’ll be back in the afternoon.

“Take care of these two for me.

Li Yidao knew that Yang Qingyue’s current strength was not weak.

She had a better command of her abilities than he did.

Now, Li Yidao primarily relied on a mysterious application of various skills that made it nearly impossible for others to defend against.

This made people cautious and wary.

However, Yang Qingyue was different; she possessed abilities akin to those of a superhero on television, and it was visibly evident.

In any case, things were going well.

“Hmm,” Yang Qingyue nodded slightly, then fell silent.

Li Yidao didn’t say much either. He hailed a taxi and headed straight to Jiang City’s First People’s Hospital.

Wang Qiang’s body was currently stored in the hospital morgue, awaiting examination.

Li Yidao intended to visit on his own; he had obtained authorization from Wang Qiang’s aunt, so convenience wasn’t an issue.

The only concern was whether the hospital would allow him to take Wang Qiang’s body.

If they refused, Li Yidao would have to call Li Hui, or even Qi Yuqiang. He would prefer not to call Qi Yuqiang now if he could avoid it. He knew they were undoubtedly busy, and the situation might have escalated to a point where they couldn’t control it.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sought Li Yidao’s assistance. After all, the consequences of Li Yidao’s involvement could be severe. Anyway, they just chose a possibly better outcome..
