Chapter 151 The Nightmare Returns
"ah--"
With a scream, Jiang Ran suddenly woke up, her forehead covered in a fine sweat, her chest heaving violently. The scene from her dream still haunted her.
After a long while, Jiang Ran finally came to her senses, reached out and wiped her forehead, feeling the coolness of her forehead.
Turning my head, I saw that it was pitch black outside the window, with the moonlight dimly shining through the gap in the half-drawn curtains onto the floor.
She glanced at the time and realized it was only 2 a.m., and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fu reached out and rubbed his temples, feeling the fatigue in his body. He slowly closed his eyes, pondering why he suddenly dreamed of that nightmare again.
Since she transmigrated, the same scene has appeared in her dreams three times. Is it just a case of what she thinks about during the day manifesting in her dreams at night, or is it a sign that something is about her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran got up and secretly made hand seals to calculate the variables that would follow, but unexpectedly found that everything related to her was shrouded in mist and she could not see anything.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran frowned and a hint of anxiety flashed across her face. After several attempts, it was all in vain.
Meanwhile, on the other side, late at night, Si Yanxiao also failed to fall asleep. Instead, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to calm down.
Recent events weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder, spurring him onward but giving him no time to catch his breath.
Jiang Ran's repeated admonitions flashed through his mind like a series of images. Whenever he closed his eyes, the scene of the empty tomb appeared in his mind, and Jiang Ran's rebukes echoed in his ears.
He was so unable to fall asleep that his lips were slightly pursed and his brows revealed a deep sense of irritation. He got up and walked to the window, looking down into the distance with a strange expression on his face. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill.
Just as he was lost in thought, the phone on the table suddenly rang, breaking the silence.
Si Yanxiao's eyes flashed. Seeing the caller ID, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes. He then swiped to answer: "What's the matter that's so urgent calling so late?"
"We've heard that Miss Bai has been spotted!" Gu Nan's voice came through the receiver, speaking very quickly.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression froze, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What?!"
Is the news reliable?
“Reliable,” Gu Nan replied in a deep voice.
His mind was completely blank, and he was just as surprised as Si Yanxiao.
I was suddenly woken up by a phone call, and upon hearing the news, I instantly became fully awake.
How could they not be shocked when someone who had been declared dead was suddenly told they were back in front of them?!
"Where is the address?" Si Yanxiao asked sharply, and after Gu Nan gave him a location, he hung up the phone.
He then turned around, grabbed his car keys, went straight to the garage, and drove towards his destination.
However, he did not notice a car hidden in the shadows outside the villa. When he came out, the car's eyes lit up, and it slowly drove behind him, then made a phone call.
"Young Master, he has gone out."
Si Zuochen's eyes flashed, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."
He immediately hung up the phone, pressed a button to call the driver over, and checked the GPS location of the car tracking Si Siyanxiao in real time.
On the other side, just as Si Yanxiao noticed that a car was following him and began to suspect something, he saw the car behind him suddenly turn in the opposite direction at a fork in the road.
My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.
Unexpectedly, Si Zuochen arrived just in time. The driver and Si Zuochen met, and the man, having completed his mission, wisely left.
Si Zuochen coldly watched the vehicles ahead speeding along the empty road, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Jiang Ran had previously expressed his intention to divorce, so he had been sending people to follow his father and monitor his every move, fearing that he might do something irreversible.
Even knowing that the Si family is powerful and wealthy, and that these things might not have a significant impact on him, they still need to hinder his progress.
Jiang Ran clearly didn't care about any of this; as a member of the Si family, she naturally had to make more plans.
Si Yanxiao was anxious because of Bai Zhuwei's matter, and the driver followed at a distance, not thinking that someone was following him.
Si Zuochen followed his trail to the destination. Looking at the dilapidated slum in front of him, a look of surprise flashed across his face. He was unaware of the inside story and naturally did not know Si Yanxiao's purpose in coming here.
Originally, I only wanted to catch him in the act of adultery, but I never expected him to leave overnight. It wasn't as simple as I thought.
Si Yanxiao stopped the car and looked at the scene before him, his brows furrowing slightly, his surprise evident in his eyes.
He couldn't help but have some doubts. Was the information from the people he sent to investigate reliable? How could Zhu Wei possibly be in a place like this?
Seeing Si Yanxiao leave, the driver quickly asked, "Young Master, shall we follow him?"
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen frowned slightly and slowly shook his head: "I'll go alone. Too many people will only alert them. You wait here for me. If you see Daddy come out, call me immediately."
"Are you alright by yourself?" the driver asked hesitantly, his face full of concern for him.
"It's alright. If you come with me, you'll have to worry about me all the time, which will be inconvenient," Si Zuochen said.
"Alright then," the driver nodded slightly in response.
Si Zuochen then got out of the car and secretly followed in the direction Si Yanxiao had left.
Actually, not letting the driver come along was also for his safety. The place Si Yanxiao came to was already beyond his expectations. For someone of his status to condescend to visit a deserted slum, there must be some hidden reason.
Now that he knows about this, there's absolutely no way he can give up halfway. Even if something really happens, he won't be in any trouble given his status. But the driver is different; he has no power or influence, and I'm afraid he won't be able to protect himself.
After all, in high society, a person's life can be easily convicted and sent to prison for life by any pretext they can fabricate.
He can't gamble with someone else's future.
After finishing his thoughts, he followed Si Yanxiao's footsteps from a distance, but at a corner, he momentarily lost his focus, and the figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.
A chill ran through Si Zuochen's heart, his brow furrowed slightly, and he could only grit his teeth and continue walking forward.
Just then, an unexpected danger descended from the sky.
The location was only in the slums, so Si Yanxiao could only search from the outside. Suddenly, he saw a figure in front of him, and above his head, there was a heavy object that seemed about to fall.
Seeing this, Si Yanxiao quickly shouted, "Watch out for your head!"
Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen reflexively looked up. Suddenly, a heavy object fell. He tried to dodge it, but was so frightened by what he saw that he was frozen in place, unable to move.
Seeing that he was motionless, Si Yanxiao's eyes sharpened. After recognizing his face, he was startled and hurriedly rushed towards him. Fortunately, the distance was not far.
In a flash, he reached out and pulled, and Si Zuochen lost his leg strength and fell to the ground. The heavy object hit the ground with a loud "bang."
Si Yanxiao was still shaken by what he saw. If that thing had hit him... the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Seeing that Si Zuochen didn't move, a hint of worry flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes, and he quickly called out, "Achen, are you alright?"
Si Zuochen kept his eyes tightly closed, his face was pale, whether from excessive shock or a relapse of illness, he looked very bad.
Si Yanxiao looked down at him, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. How could he be here?
Then his eyes flashed, and he instantly realized that it seemed they had followed him here.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Si Yanxiao hesitated for a moment, and was about to take him to the hospital for treatment.
But she had other important business to attend to here, and for a moment she was caught in a dilemma. Just as she was about to pick him up and make up her mind, she glanced around and suddenly noticed a very familiar figure not far away, walking towards the corner.
Si Yanxiao's eyes lit up as he recognized Bai Zhuwei's back. He paused, struggled briefly, put Si Zuochen down, and quickly got up to chase after Bai Zhuwei.
At the same time, he also called Gu Nan, told him Si Zuochen's location, and asked him to come and pick him up as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan was startled and immediately drove at breakneck speed towards the location.
On the other side, Jiang Ran was awakened by a nightmare and could not fall back asleep. She got up, turned on her computer, and processed online orders when she had nothing else to do.
As he was drawing the talisman to ward off evil spirits, a sudden tremor ran through his chest, and he felt a wave of unease wash over him.
