"Since the props are bought from Taobao, what are you trembling for?" I couldn't stand Heiche Rong's bullying and cowardice, so I snapped at him.
With his sunglasses on, Heiche Rong, who loved no one, chuckled coldly, "I... I'm Heiche Rong, not easily frightened. You two little brats, playing ghosts and gods, you think I'll be scared... scared..."
The scene before his eyes made Heiche Rong stutter once again.
The talisman paper, shining with golden light, flew out of the car window and hovered in the thick fog, shining brightly.
Soon the light dimmed.
The talisman paper burned without fire.
Even more miraculously, visibility in front of us cleared up little by little.
The fog... was dispersing...
On the national highway, the sound of car horns honking was constant.
In less than fifteen minutes, everything cleared up.
All the vehicles began moving slowly, and soon they all entered the city without any hindrance.
Heiche Rong muttered, "The fog... was it dispersed... by you guys..."
"Yeah, we are indeed masters," Yu Longting said with an indifferent smile.
Heiche Rong, scared pale, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Indeed... a master never shows his true face."
For the rest of the journey, Heiche Rong didn't utter another word.
But from time to time, he sneakily glanced in the rearview mirror, as if he had something on his mind.
"We're in the city now, masters... where... do you want to get off?" Heiche Rong didn't know where to stop the car, looking timid and apprehensive, he hesitantly asked me and Yu Longting.
Gone was his earlier arrogance when he was overcharging.
I originally wanted Heiche Rong to drive toward Green Cloud Mountain.
Yu Longting gave him an address.
Heiche Rong activated the car's navigation system and followed the given directions.
Did he think going directly to the Lin Family was too dangerous?
Given the current situation, we indeed needed to be more cautious.
"Click—"
Suddenly, a piercing sound of an emergency brake filled the air.
Before I could lean forward from the inertia, my waist was already caught by a strong arm and pulled into Yu Longting's embrace.
Everything happened so suddenly, I was completely stunned.
I didn't understand why Heiche Rong would slam on the brakes so abruptly.
"I... I think I... I might have hit someone..." Heiche Rong was stiff in the driver's seat as if struck by rigor mortis.
His face was as white as a sheet, staring straight ahead.
Although the minivan's chassis wasn't high, if we had hit someone, we definitely wouldn't be able to see a hair from this angle.
Frowning, I sternly shouted, "You hit someone, and you're not getting out to check?"
"Oh... I'll go check now..." Heiche Rong fumbled to open the door, "It looks like... she's a pregnant woman, with a very large belly."
What had just happened was too sudden.
And this spot was a blind spot.
I hardly saw anything.
But when I heard it was a pregnant woman...
I quickly wriggled out of Yu Longting's arms and opened the door to get out as well.
This was in the downtown area.
In just a few minutes, many onlookers had gathered.
The crowd murmured and discussed among themselves.
The pregnant woman on the ground, holding her belly in agony, moaned, "My baby, my baby..."
There was a lot of blood flowing from her lower body.
Most likely, the child could not be saved...
"Are you alright? I... I'll call an ambulance." Heiche Rong rushed up to inquire, not daring to touch the pregnant woman, he kneeled halfway and took out his phone to call for emergency services.
But the pregnant woman grabbed hold of one of Heiche Rong's legs, "Murder! Hitting a pregnant woman! I was attacked by that couple, they hired someone... hired someone... to kill my child in my womb... this man is an assassin..."
"I didn't do it on purpose, you... you jaywalked, I only hit you because you crossed the road, I'm not an assassin... don't take pictures, I'm being framed... I won't kill anyone, I'm not an assassin, I'm a commoner! I'm a good person!!" Heiche Rong, a black-cab driver who extorted money like a fierce god, was now a bundle of nerves, waving his hands and explaining desperately.
The surrounding flashlights flickered ceaselessly.
Making Heiche Rong's dark face look ashen as death.
