Chapter 5 - 4: Through the Woods and Past the Graves
Aside from the corpse workers selling hard labor, Cui's Mill also employs quite a few living servants to maintain the daily operations of the mill.
These people all come from the Cui Family lineage in Linhe, and the few outsiders are all indebted to the Cui clan, naturally feeling a strong sense of belonging.
Upon hearing about the incident at Compound C, a group gathered at the compound gate, scrutinizing the incoming Corpse Driver with critical eyes.
There is strength in numbers, and the clan thrives on this cohesion.
A mighty dragon is no match for a local serpent; with the current atmosphere, if the Corpse Driver tries to bluff even a little, he is bound to suffer!
Arriving at Compound C, Liu Youdao, dressed in a dark blue satin Taoist robe, frowned immediately upon seeing the neatly arranged corpses.
"We finally invited Mr. Liu!" Cui Steward greeted warmly.
After a few polite exchanges post breakfast, Cui Steward got to the point.
"These are all new goods purchased from you, and now they inexplicably have issues. We need an explanation from you..."
"Of course, it's not us, Cui's Mill, making it difficult for you, but we can't handle such losses in our small business."
Liu Youdao, around fifty years old, tall and emaciated, had a pair of cloudy eyes filled with a sly fierceness unique to old foxes.
