Getting rid of Wang Hao was as easy for Xiao Tianyu as eating or drinking cold water. As for whether the Lingxiao Association would get angry or not, he couldn't care less, as long as they didn't bother him. If they did, the wrath of Xiao Tianyu was not sothing a re Lingxiao Association could withstand, even if their power in the Celestial Capital was quite substantial.
At this mont, Xiao Tianyu was standing by a deserted, pitch-black roadside trying to hail a taxi. He opened the door and got in, and as soon as he gave directions, the driver started rambling.
The driver said, "Today is seriously a damn unlucky day. I actually had a passenger pretend to be a ghost and extort money from . Tell , as a taxi driver, how much do I earn in a day? Just a few hundred at most. If you want to get rich, don't target . Luckily, I was sharp enough to see through the trick right away and didn't fall for it!"
The more the driver thought about it, the more irritated he got, so he continued, "Sigh, this world is full of more and more unscrupulous people. Especially for us taxi drivers, we encounter all sorts of weirdos. This job isn't easy!"
After saying all this, seeing Xiao Tianyu remain silent, the driver got a bit puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Can you hear
talking? On this deserted road, chatting can help boost our courage!"
"..." Xiao Tianyu sat in the front seat, still not responding.
The driver looked a bit confused. Could he be mute or deaf? What a pity, such a good-looking man with a defect. But wait, he had just told
the address where he's going.
Thinking of this, the driver realized Xiao Tianyu just didn't want to bother responding, so he didn't say more and focused on driving.
Not long after, they saw a lady who was entirely clad in white from top to bottom, looking fairly pretty. She was waving to catch a ride by the roadside. It's quite lonely for a girl to be stopping cars this late at night, so the driver felt a pang of sympathy and said to Xiao Tianyu, "Why not give her a ride?"
"Whatever!" Xiao Tianyu replied indifferently. The driver was secretly pleased, not expecting Xiao Tianyu to agree so easily, thinking you'd have to be a fool to pass up potential earnings.
So, the driver hit the brakes and pulled over to the side. The woman glanced inside the car, noticed soone inside, and a peculiar glint flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly, going unnoticed by the driver.
The driver said, "This area is deserted. It's unlikely any other car will pass by tonight. If you're okay with it, let
give you a lift?"
Upon hearing this, the woman in white didn't respond, opened the rear door and got in, casually closing the door behind her. However, once she entered, the driver felt the temperature in the car drop sharply, making him shiver. Then he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the woman in white with an unusually pale face, which made his hair stand on end.
Afterward, he couldn't help but glance at Xiao Tianyu, seeing his face remain calm, which reassured the driver a little. He released the brake, shifted gears, and the car started rolling along the road.
Then the driver asked, "May I know where you're headed, miss?"
"Yan Mountain Cetery!" The woman's cool voice sent a shiver through the driver, causing his hands to tremble slightly on the steering wheel. He steadied himself and continued, "It's so late, what are you going to do at Yan Mountain Cetery? Even if you want to visit a grave, you should wait for daylight!"
"I live there!" The woman didn't say much, but her words were chilling to the bone. This made the driver feel increasingly eerie. Live… live there? There are no houses around Yan Mountain Cetery, and it's all barren wilderness.
Gulp~
The driver swallowed nervously, pressing down his fear. Could he have really picked up sothing sinister? Damn, is today really going to be this unlucky? First, he t soone pretending to be a ghost to extort him, and now he's picked up soone, so it seems, who's genuinely going to the land of the dead.
Weren't we taught since childhood there are no ghosts in the world? But what is happening now?
At this mont, the driver started to tremble all over, stealing a glance at Xiao Tianyu. However, Xiao Tianyu sat there unmoved, not saying a word, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The driver steadied his mind and tentatively suggested, "It's so late, and the car doesn't pass by Yan Mountain Cetery. Why not, miss, catch another ride?"
"If you don't give
a ride, you'll face bloody disaster!"
"But I have a passenger who's not passing by Yan Mountain Cetery!" the driver said.
"I don't care!" A faint voice ca from Xiao Tianyu, making the driver freeze and curse inwardly. Can't this bastard just cooperate a little? Besides, are you not afraid of ghosts?
Little did he know, as soon as the woman got in the car, Xiao Tianyu had known sothing was fishy. In this world, there were no ghosts; it was undoubtedly just soone pretending.
"Did, you, hear, him, say, he, does, not, care!"
The woman's voice suddenly turned ghostly terrifying, icy to the bone. A chilling wind blew through, and the driver broke into a cold sweat. Glancing again into the rearview mirror, to his horror, he saw the woman in white with her tongue extended down to her chin, blood dripping from it. The driver abruptly pressed the accelerator and sped towards Yan Mountain Cetery.
Ten minutes later, the woman in white sullenly said, "Arrived. Tell , how much?"
"No… no money needed, no money, consider it a free ride!" The driver stamred.
"No, way…" The woman in white drew out her words.
Upon hearing that, the driver swallowed nervously and said, "Well... then ten bucks!"
"Alright…" The woman in white took out a note from her pocket and handed it to the driver. Taken aback, the driver glanced at it and felt utterly dumbfounded — one... one trillion? How on earth could he provide change for this?
"Are, you, not, taking, the, money?" The cold, eerie voice continued to echo, leaving the driver exasperated. He said, "Such… such a large amount, I... I can't make change!"
"Give, what, you, can, give…"
"Oh!" The driver nodded, his clothes now drenched in cold sweat. Anxiously, he handed over all his hard-earned money of the day to the woman in white. She took the money with a hint of disdain, thinking to herself what an absolute idiot he was.
Afterward, the woman in white opened the car door, walked over to Xiao Tianyu's window, stuck out her tongue, and giggled, "Handso, thanks for the cooperation, this hundred yuan is for your late-night snack!"
"..." Hearing this, the driver was speechless. Despite everything, even an idiot would realize he'd been scamd. Just as he wanted to open the door, he heard Xiao Tianyu calmly say, "Even your hard-earned money, you cheat on?"
"Handso, why aren't you on board with this? I said the hundred yuan was for your midnight snack. I've been generous enough, haven't I? Besides, this driver only had five hundred yuan, splitting a hundred with you is already good, isn't it? What about cheating or not cheating, those words sound harsh!"
"Is this really a good way?" Xiao Tianyu continued, "Didn't he give you five hundred yuan? Sounds more like five thousand, right?"
"..." The woman in white was stunned. What did this asshole an? What five thousand? It was clearly five hundred, wasn't it?
The driver was also taken aback. He had indeed given the woman five hundred yuan, but how did this turn into five thousand in Xiao Tianyu's mouth? This… this guy was even more sinister than a ghost?
