Hong Ban quietly watched as Meng Po and the others surrounded Hong Yan's corpse and began their examination, and Li Xin also observed silently.
Hong Yan's body was generally well-preserved, his clothes freshly changed, and his complexion showed the pallor of death.
"We need to undress him," Old Tuo said stiffly.
Hong Ban opened his mouth as if to retort, but then gritted his teeth and held back, cautiously saying, "Hurry up, you can look, but there must not be any damage."
Patir took a few steps back; this was something she couldn't watch. Standing beside Hong Ban, after so many years together, even without romantic feelings, there was definitely some friendship between them.
"If anyone in Dragon Capital truly wants to help you and has the capability, Li Xin is one of them," Patir comforted.
Hong Ban knew this well. He wasn't blinded by love, nor did he agree solely because of Patir's face. With Patir around, he could calm down, which was a sort of relief.
