As I listened to Old Liu's rambling, my anger was rising.
Nobody told us this. If it weren't for Lao Liu, we might have just been waiting to be killed by this contract.
Right now, this white fog in front of us is basically not going to dissipate, and we can't afford to wait three or four hours!
At that time, let alone whether we could reach the hotel in time.
It was only early morning, and the sky was just beginning to lighten, when Yiyi's energy level had already dropped significantly!
It's not accurate to say that his energy level has decreased; to be precise, it's definitely not as strong as it is now!
And now, it's probably about the same time, precisely when the girl's power is at its strongest.
Only by rushing out of this white fog and reaching our destination quickly can we have a chance to turn the tide.
This is when our chances of winning are at their highest.
At this point, Lao Liu was already quite overwhelmed.
"Master, do you think Old Liu really wants to help us? If he were truly kind, he would have just stepped on the gas and sped off!"
"The lightning sword is in my mind," he said slowly.
When I hear what he says, I can't help but give him a good talking-to.
"Are you stupid, kid? What if we get knocked over and twisted in this fog? How are we going to get to the hotel? We're doomed even without that contract."
After I finished speaking, Lei Jijian fell silent.
I can basically trust this driver; he's a bit greedy, but very steady and highly skilled.
He has had so many opportunities to harm us, but now he is wholeheartedly helping us get out of this predicament.
He may not have meant it that way, but he probably didn't want the kind of chaos that happened around his brother or other driver friends to happen again!
Seeing Lao Liu like this, Yi Yi was indeed a little anxious.
"Master, please think of another way. If it works out, we'll give you extra money, double the amount!"
As Yiyi spoke, she reached into her pocket, seemingly about to take out all the money she had as a deposit.
I stopped Yiyi with one hand and briefly explained the reason to the girl.
If he really wants to help us, then it's not about money.
However, Lao Liu's attitude really surprised me. He quickly stretched out his hand, seemingly accepting all comers.
"Indeed, this is where your sincerity lies."
Goodness, seeing this, I quickly pulled out another bill and lit it for Lao Liu.
At this moment, Liu Guopeng took it even more skillfully and took a big breath even more forcefully than before.
"Young man, you need to get back on track."
He then pondered for a moment.
"But this matter is definitely not about money. A place we would normally avoid has suddenly become so strange today... It's really strange."
At this point, I stopped hiding it and asked him why he couldn't walk this road anymore, since he used to walk it often.
He wiped his eyes, his gaze drifting slightly: "There's no fog here normally! It's like walking on a new road... How can it be the same?"
In the car, after a brief silence, I slowly continued to speak.
"Brother, I know you mean well, but the situation is what it is. How about this: you drive slowly, and we'll watch the road for you."
If there's something on the left, she'll call "left"; if there's something on the right, I'll call "right." We'll move little by little, which is better than turning back!
At this moment, I am so glad that we didn't choose to turn back at the very beginning.
If you chose to turn around at the beginning, then according to the driver's regional arrangement, which is their "duty roster," as the driver just mentioned.
At this time of day, I doubt anyone would be heading from the main urban area towards the roundabout!
Then we really did get stuck right there.
And with the deadline being moved up slightly, we absolutely won't make it! Our lives are at stake!
Seeing our determination, Lao Liu seemed to suddenly gain a newfound motivation.
That feeling was definitely not an ordinary impulse. He then unzipped his coat and took out the money from his pocket.
I could see it clearly; there was a faint green tube inside his open shirt.
He then spat on his hand and counted the bills one by one.
The money was quite old, and I noticed that his hands weren't smooth either.
He put the stack back, seemingly satisfied, then looked back at us, and we both shook our heads.
The voice was very deep.
"That's really bold... really bold!"
This white fog probably won't work either!
Okay, I guess I've caught up with you guys this time. But let me make this clear: if anything goes wrong, don't blame me!
I'm just a driver!
Immediately afterwards, as if he had made up his mind, Lao Liu suddenly turned the steering wheel and adjusted his sitting posture.
After completing this set of actions, he took out a small, yellowed gold Buddha from a box under the car.
It's something ordinary people use to pray for blessings and peace.
Then, I watched as Old Liu put his hands together, raised the small golden Buddha above his head, placed it between his thumbs, slowly bowed his head, and devoutly bowed towards the thick fog in front of him.
My gaze was fixed on the thick fog ahead, and I could only see part of his face in the rearview mirror.
