Seeing that Liu Hao's father was whispering something to the Director Wang, the Director Wang's face changed, and then his furrowed brows relaxed, and he laughed: ”So that's how it is, nothing serious, nothing serious.”

At the same time, I saw Director Wang standing up with a faint smile on his face. He said harmoniously: ”Since Master Ma is only doing this matter of taking pictures, then I shall ask Master Ma to first take a picture of my mother.”

I nodded. Just as I was about to talk about the price, Director Wang continued to speak. ”Meeting is fate. Master Ma is young and promising. What do you think of 3000?”

When I heard this, my heart skipped a beat. I thought, ”This boss is really different. He opened his mouth and said three thousand. That should be enough for me to suffer for a long time.”

However, although I was very satisfied with the price, I was not stupid enough to recklessly take over the business. Thus, I asked the Director Wang: ”I'll take a look first, I wonder where your mother's body is now. If it's a funeral home, then I'll have to trouble you to find another person.”

Even now, I still haven't figured out why my grandfather didn't take the body and stay in the funeral parlor, but since he did so, he definitely had his reasons for doing so, so I had better be careful.

”Haha, Master Ma is really straightforward, in fact, not only did he say that, even we have such concerns,” Director Wang laughed, he did not seem to be able to see the gloominess of the old man's death, and stood up with Wang Hao's father before me: ”Master Ma, my mother passed away last night, and now her corpse is at home, are you free to go over there?”

”F * ck,” seeing Director Wang's behavior, I cursed in my heart. Seeing the way he talked and laughed in front of me, how did he look like someone whose mother had passed away?

However, I only care about making money, I don't care about other things. Thus, I nodded, stood up and said, ”Let's go!”

However, the moment I said that, the two of them were stunned, they stammered for a long time before asking, ”Master Ma doesn't need any tools?”

I chuckled and stretched out my hands in front of the two of them. ”These hands are my tools. However, do you have Xuan paper?”

”Yes, yes, there are a lot”, the Director Wang was startled and immediately replied.

Actually, I did this for a reason. Firstly, I lost my grandfather's copper bowl. Secondly, I discovered that the ”Spirit Realm” in the painting had the functions of a copper bowl and a wolf's hair.

And because of this, I was almost always carrying the Spirit Realm with me.

Director Wang also came in a luxurious car, making me think of the last time I was with my grandfather, Xiuqin. In the end, with a bit of sadness, I sat in Director Wang's car, and quickly retreated as I watched the scenery on both sides.

In less than ten minutes, Director Wang had already brought me to his house. It was a very modern looking building, each floor was at least two hundred square meters wide, and it was so big that it was scary.

At this time, Director Wang's door was filled with people, and when they saw him appear, they all went up to him warmly.

”Master Ma, please come in.” After exchanging a few pleasantries with these people, the Director Wang led me inside the house.

However, to save trouble, I asked him directly, ”Where is your mother?”

”In her bedroom, I'll bring you here.” Director Wang didn't hesitate as he led me directly to the second floor in a series of twists and turns.

The extravagance of his home's furnishings made me inwardly click my tongue. A single chandelier in the second-floor living room alone would have cost me several orders of money to buy it. All the furniture in the room was mahogany, Chinese style, luxurious yet not low-key.

However, when I came to the room where he said he was going to sleep, I saw that the scene had changed from the splendor of the past to that of a dark, small, and musty old woman. When I stood at the door, I saw the body of the old woman lying on an old bed with shelves, and the dim light from outside the window shone on her lonely corpse with an indescribable bleakness.

I frowned as I thought about how I can let the old lady live here by herself. Don't think that Director Wang is such a pretentious person, to think that he was actually such an unfilial son. This is simply mistreatment.

The Director Wang seemed to have seen through my thoughts as he explained, ”I was not at home all year round, so the old lady chose this room for herself.”

I ignored him. In front of the facts, no matter how this Director Wang explained himself, he couldn't get rid of this suspicion.

”Alright, I'll take this job. Go get a piece of Xuan paper.” I stood at the door and sized it up for a moment before saying in a bad mood.

”Yes sir.” Director Wang replied and turned around to leave, and taking this chance, I entered the room. After looking around, my gaze landed on the old lady's face, but after one look, I was shocked. A big chunk of her shriveled and emaciated face was missing, revealing her ghastly bones.

It was also at this moment that Director Wang walked in. He looked at me strangely and asked, ”Master Ma, are you alright?”

I took the Xuan paper from his hand and forcefully squeezed out a smile. ”It's fine. You can leave first!”

After Director Wang left, the only people left in the room were me and the old lady. I took a deep breath of the musty air and forced myself to calm down.
