Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
i Shu smiled, “Jiang llai, help with the luggage. Well take his car.”
Jiang Hai felt sothing was amiss and wanted to advise against it. However, seeing i Shu’s determination, he complied reluctantly.
After the man happily settled into the car, Jiang Hai whispered to i Shu, “This guy might be an unlicensed taxi driver who preys on passengers near the airport. It might not be safe to get into this car.”
“It’s precisely because it’s an unlicensed taxi that we should get in,” i Shu said triumphantly, raising her eyebrows and patting his shoulder, “Relax a bit. Besides investigating, this trip can also be considered a vacation.”
Jiang Hai was dumbfounded. By the ti he reacted, i Shu had already gotten into the taxi.
Not wanting to waste ti, he quickly sat in the passenger seat, adopting a vigilant posture to protect i Shu at all tis.
Although Wendith was a tourist destination, its security wasn’t as stringent as in their ho country. They needed to be cautious.
On the way, the driver, pleased to have nabbed so naive custors, beca talkative, “Are you here for sightseeing? What do you do? Having ti to travel here at this mont, you must be rich, right?”
i Shu smiled, “My brother had a breakup and quit his job, so I ca along to accompany him and help him relax.”
Glancing at i Shu through the rearview mirror, the driver then looked at Jiang Hai, “Oh, a breakup and job loss. Young man, your luck isn’t great. It’s good to co out and relax; perhaps you’ll feel better and make a coback. Then you’ll have no trouble finding the type of woman you want.”
Jiang Hai remained silent, his expression cold.
i Shu smoothly continued, “Actually, this place was where my brother and his ex-girlfriend planned to visit together. Since they broke up, I didn’t want my brother to regret it, so 1 suggested coming here together.”
“Such a good sister! You must comfort your brother well!” the driver said, taking a turn onto the highway.
i Shu lowered her gaze, looking at the itinerary recorded on her phone, and smiled, “Yes, my brother initially didn’t want to co. Isn’t it because of the incident that happened on Wendith Island a few years ago? He’s always worried about my safety.”
The driver pondered for a while and suddenly realized, “Oh, are you talking about the couple who were attacked by a beast on the island a few years ago and fell off a cliff?”
Jiang Hai tensed up instantly, glaring at the driver.
i Shu pretended to look puzzled, “Probably? 1 don’t know much about it. I just know my brother worries too much. That was years ago, and if there were still beasts, how could Wendith be a tourist destination every year? Besides, the dia may have exaggerated the incident. There’s no need to be so worried.”
After hearing her words, the driver lowered his voice and whispered, “Miss, it’s not good to think like that. Let tell you, 1 was a driver in that area back then. I heard the beast incident was true! And indeed, two people died!”
“Ah?” i Shu shivered in fear, “Uncle Driver, you have to tell us more. I’m here for a vacation; I don’t want to end up as prey for wild beasts!”
The driver spoke solemnly, “At the ti, I didn’t know much either. 1 heard it from others. The island was closed to the public, and only a few people went in. No one expected that wild animals would attack people! The police cordoned off the island for several days and found nothing. Naturally, no tourists dared to go to the island. Eventually, the island staff killed the creature, and it reopened to the public.”
i Shu had already investigated these things. She rolled her eyes and asked carefully, “Then have you seen what that beast looks like? Why didn’t the news report such a big matter later?”
“Hiss!” The driver took a deep breath and recalled carefully. “I rember that the staff on the island posted a report to convince the outside world that the beast had been captured, but it disappeared for so reason.”
“I’ve only seen it once. That thing looks like a wild boar, but it’s different from a wild boar. I can’t tell what it is. Perhaps it’s a hybrid? But you don’t need to worry too much. Wendith hasn’t had such incidents in years. You should be fine.””
i Shu nodded thoughtfully. This matched the beast in the photo.
However, she didn’t blindly believe the image was real.
As she was lost in thought, the driver parked the car, signaling they had arrived.
i Shu looked up and realized they were in a desolate area, which didn’t seem like a place with car rental shops.
She and Jiang Hai exchanged quick glances, preparing themselves.
Suddenly, the glaring sunlight outside the car was blocked by soone. i Shu looked up to see their car surrounded by a group of people..
