Chapter 1206: Driver Chen Encounters a Death Calamity (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Driver Chen hadn’t thought much of it before, but the more he thought about it now, the more he felt that something wasn’t right. Driver Chen wasn’t a greedy person. Besides, how much could a ride cost?

Ordinary people wouldn’t pay so much for a taxi. Even in the middle of nowhere, they would definitely haggle with him, but why did the man in front of him look like he didn’t care about money at all?

It would have been fine if the man didn’t care about money, but he didn’t look rich at all.

The more Driver Chen thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. While he was deep in thought, the man had already reached out to open the door. Driver Chen shuddered and was alarmed. Without thinking, he stepped on the gas and the taxi immediately sped away.

The ordinary-looking man didn’t expect a driver to be so vigilant. Not only was he unmoved by his words, he also drove away in the blink of an eye.

Although the ordinary-looking man was quick to stretch out his arm, he wasn’t able to stop the vehicle, and his body was thrown to the side.

He didn’t get into the car as he had planned. The ordinary-looking man no longer put up a front, and he revealed a dark expression, especially when he thought about how the driver might have seen something. He stared viciously at the taxi in front of him.

After driving a short distance, Driver Chen subconsciously looked in the rearview mirror and was caught off guard by the man’s sinister and murderous gaze. He shuddered violently and was so shocked that his limbs and bones turned cold.

Just as he was about to drive away in fright, the man flagged down another taxi.

Driver Chen’s heart thumped, and he saw the man with the snakeskin bag open the door and get into the car. Driver Chen glanced at the license plate of the taxi behind him and didn’t dare stay any longer. He stepped on the gas and hurried home.

When he returned, it was almost four in the morning. Usually, Driver Chen would wash up before returning to the bedroom to rest. Tonight, he was still in shock and didn’t feel sleepy at all.

Although nothing had happened, the strange man he had met tonight made him uneasy.

Driver Chen’s wife was a light sleeper. Knowing roughly when her husband would be back, she had turned on the alarm, and woke up. She saw that Driver Chen had yet to enter the bedroom, and was still outside with the lights on in the living room.

Driver Chen’s wife was a bit worried, so she got up and hurried out. In the living room, Driver Chen was sitting on the couch in a daze. Seeing that her husband’s expression was a bit off tonight, she couldn’t help but ask, “Old Chen, what’s wrong? Why haven’t you come to bed? You still have to drive in the morning!”

Driver Chen’s family had an average background. Apart from his wife, he had two children, a daughter and a son. His daughter was 18 or 19 years old, and his son was younger at 12 years old. Both children were in school, and the pressure to make money was practically all on Driver Chen. Although his wife usually helped to make some money, the money she earned couldn’t compare with what Driver Chen earned from driving.

There were a lot of school expenses for the two kids. Driver Chen’s wife was afraid that he would sleep too late and wouldn’t be able to get up tomorrow morning to drive and make money. What then?

A few days ago, her son had said that he wanted to attend an extracurricular cla.s.s, for which there was a fee. How could Driver Chen not make money?

Driver Chen also knew what his wife was thinking, but he felt uneasy after tonight.

He didn’t know if it was because he was worried about the man getting into someone else’s car, or because he thought of how the man had looked at him viciously earlier.

Driver Chen was a little creeped out. At that moment, he looked at his wife and couldn’t help but say, “I met a strange man tonight!”

Driver Chen didn’t go into detail for fear of worrying his wife, and just gave a simple rundown of what happened tonight.

Driver Chen’s wife didn’t take it seriously at first, but she then heard that Old Chen had turned down a possible customer who had offered three times the price and, in the end, the other party took another taxi.

Driver Chen’s wife was furious. After scolding Driver Chen a few times, she couldn’t help but nag about how he didn’t take the job.

In the end, Driver Chen’s wife couldn’t help but mutter, “Old Chen, how can there be so many bad people in this world? There are only a few strange ones. That amount is worth three regular pa.s.sengers, but not only did you reject business which dropped into your lap, you also gave it to someone else. I’m the one who feels terrible.”

After being nagged non-stop by his wife, Driver Chen had no choice but to tell her that he had run into a Master who had read his fortune today. He didn’t dare say that the Celestial Master was an 18- or 19-year-old girl, and only said that he had run into a master fortune teller tonight, and that his life was more important than money.

How could he not listen?

Driver Chen’s wife was a bit bewildered, and there was still some hesitation and doubt in her eyes. “Old Chen, are you serious? It can’t be a swindler, right? There are many swindlers nowadays!”

Driver Chen’s wife’s heart still ached over the customer whom Old Chen had turned down. Her chest still felt stuffy at that moment. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her Old Chen had most likely been tricked by a swindler.

When Driver Chen heard how certain his wife was that the young lady was a swindler, he didn’t know what to say for a moment. He stretched. After driving all day, his back ached all over.

“Forget it, we’ll talk about it tomorrow. Sleep first!”

Driver Chen’s wife was still quite virtuous. The two of them were an old couple. Although their family was average, they had a good relations.h.i.+p. Seeing that Driver Chen was tired, his wife swallowed her words and corrected herself. “Okay, then hurry and wash up. Go back to the room and sleep!”

Driver Chen nodded, washed up, and went to the room to sleep.

The next day was the weekend. Driver Chen woke up at 9:30am and prepared to eat breakfast. He was in no hurry to drive out at 10:30am.

His eldest daughter was studying at a university in another city, and only his wife and son were at home. Driver Chen doted on his 12-year-old son very much.

Early in the morning, Driver Chen’s wife cooked breakfast. The family of three sat in the small living room and ate while watching TV. Usually, the couple couldn’t bear to turn on the TV and consume electricity in the morning, but their son liked to watch TV on the weekend.

Driver Chen and his wife were also very sensible. It was fine for their son to watch cartoons on the weekend. Driver Chen wasn’t interested in cartoons, and had originally planned to start work after having breakfast.

Not long after, as his son was flipping channels, he suddenly switched to a news channel.

The news reported that a driver had been killed at 3:40am last night. The murderer was very cruel. Not only did he rob the driver, he also dismembered him and dumped the body in the remote wilderness.

The police were doing their best to search for the murderer, and the news anchor didn’t forget to remind everyone to be careful.

The child wasn’t interested in the news at all and didn’t even think as he flipped to another channel with the remote control. On the other hand, when Driver Chen’s wife heard that it was a taxi driver who had encountered trouble, she paid more attention. She even s.n.a.t.c.hed the remote control from her son’s hand and said, “Son, let your father watch this news! Be good! Your father is going out later, and the TV will be all yours then!”

Only then did Driver Chen’s 12-year-old son stop messing around.

Driver Chen usually only watched the news. In fact, he had seen a lot of cases like this. He didn’t take it seriously at first, and was about to get his wife to give the remote control to his son, when he saw the victim’s taxi and license plate number on the news.

Driver Chen had been bad at math since he was a child and wasn’t sensitive to numbers, but when he saw the familiar string of numbers in the news report, he suddenly remembered the taxi that had picked up that strange man last night.

At that time, Driver Chen hadn’t thought much of it. The reason he could remember the license plate was because the man last night had been too strange and made him too uneasy, so he had taken a few more looks at the license plate of the taxi behind him last night and memorized it.

However, he never expected to see this number on the news. He thought about how the news reported that the victim was a taxi driver who had been dismembered.

For a moment, Driver Chen didn’t know how to describe the horror and shock in his heart. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, palms and back. Not long after, it was as if he had just been fished out of water. There was a chill in his heart, and his whole body turned cold. His blood froze, and the bowl he was about to pick up for porridge crashed to the floor with a bang.

Driver Chen’s wife and son jumped in fright. Driver Chen’s son blurted out, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

“Old Chen, what’s wrong?” Driver Chen’s wife asked.
