Chapter 474: Chapter 502 Strange Incident (3 updates)
After the military training ended, Lin Xi grabbed a bite outside and planned to find a car at the school gate to visit the antique market.
Before he reached the school gate, someone from a distance greeted him.
Lin Xi took a look, wasn’t that the black taxi driver from before, the one who tried to rip him off the very first day he came to Chuzhou City? But in the end, Lin Xi taught him a lesson.
Last time at the school gate, he also took his car and casually gave him a few bucks, barely enough for gas money. Surprisingly, this time, the driver proactively called out to him instead of avoiding him.
"Hey buddy, where are you headed? I’ll take you!" The black taxi driver approached with enthusiasm and said to Lin Xi.
"The antique market." Lin Xi replied.
"Alright, I’ll get you there as fast as possible." He opened the car door for Lin Xi with a look of excitement.
Lin Xi felt a bit puzzled. It’s not guaranteed he’ll get fare from him, and isn’t the purpose of doing this job about making money?
"Why are you so happy? Aren’t you worried I won’t pay the fare?"
Upon hearing this, the black taxi driver didn’t look worried at all and instead said gratefully,
"I should be thanking you, buddy, there’s no way I’d want your fare!"
"What do you mean?" Lin Xi was startled.
The black taxi driver started to lament while driving, "Over by the bus station, there have been over a dozen stab victims like us, and a few even died. If you hadn’t taught me a lesson last time, I might’ve been one of them."
"So, buddy, you could say you saved my life."
"In the future, if you need a ride, just call me, and no fare needed!"
With that, he handed Lin Xi a simple business card, with "Li Jing" and a phone number, and an advertisement line: Need a ride, find Li Jing, fast and safe, you can trust.
"Copied from an ad, I bet..." Lin Xi thought to himself but accepted it anyway.
Of course, Lin Xi was still curious about the bus station incident, since he was bored in the car, he asked,
"What happened at the bus station?"
Master Li looked a bit grim, with a fearful expression, "I asked around with a few buddies, heard that this thing is quite weird. Because the attackers are all different people, and after stabbing someone, they didn’t run but passed out!"
"The key thing is, they have no connection with the drivers and don’t even know them!"
"Buddy, isn’t this bizarre? Plus, the police have already sealed off the incident and prohibited anyone from spreading it around, yet after several days of investigation, they haven’t found anything substantial."
Lin Xi furrowed his brows, this did sound a bit bizarre, then he continued listening to Master Li,
"The scariest thing is, the stabbing incidents continue to happen two or three times daily, so now no driver dares to go near the bus station, it’s extremely tense."
"Let’s not talk about this anymore, even I’m scared talking about it, it’s lucky I arrived at the university town early, otherwise..."
"By the way, buddy, what are you going to the antique market for?"
"I’m going to look for some finds, heard that the antique market in Chuzhou City is very famous all over the south!" Lin Xi said.
Speaking of this, Master Li’s eyes lit up, "You’re absolutely right, buddy!"
"The antique market in Chuzhou City isn’t just famous, it’s actually number one in the south, and even nationally, it ranks in the top three."
"A couple of days ago, I heard an old teacher spent fifty bucks to pick up a pair of jade Buddha statues and sold them right away!"
"Guess how much they sold for?"
Obviously, a great find, so Lin Xi deliberately gave a large number, "One hundred thousand?"
"No, no, no, it was five million!" Master Li said, almost colliding with the car ahead, "I heard it belonged to a Prince from the Ming Dynasty!"
PS: "Li Jing," this character was left by a book friend in the cameo thread. From the beginning until now, there should be about ten cameo roles for book friends. If anyone wants, you can continue to leave messages in the cameo thread to create your own character.
