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 s 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 passengers, 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 relationship. 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 snatched 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.
