Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar and deserted road outside the window, Pei Zhiyu felt uneasy, and countless cases related to "online taxi drivers" and "late-night detours" flashed through his mind.
Late at night, a driver, blinded by lust, would take a passenger to a remote location, rape and then kill him, or torture him to death, or rob him of his money and then kill him and dump his body in the wilderness...
In recent years, such news has become common.
Pei Zhiyu usually has a stable daily routine and rarely goes out late at night, so he rarely encounters such a situation.
We went shopping late today. It’s not even nine o’clock yet, but since it’s almost New Year’s Day, there are very few people around, making the night seem even darker.
The online car-hailing service was driving smoothly on the road. The car was silent except for the nasal sound made by Zhong Yue when she was sleeping and Pei Zhiyu's own breathing.
At this time, even the slightest movement will amplify the rustling sound caused by the friction of the clothes by dozens of times.
The arm that Zhong Yue was holding had already gone numb. She deliberately made a loud noise, "Tsk, hiss——"
Sure enough, the driver tilted his head slightly to observe the situation and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ah, it's okay, my hand is just numb." As he spoke, Pei Zhiyu pulled out his numb arm and took advantage of the movement to put his other hand into his coat pocket.
This was the first time she hated the depth of her pockets. The ten seconds it took her to find her phone were infinitely prolonged in the terrifying atmosphere, until Pei Zhiyu felt that if she didn't get her phone, her heart would be dissected out alive.
She touched it.
“Buzz buzz buzz—”
But the sudden vibration of the phone made Pei Zhiyu shudder all over. She took out her phone helplessly, and the screen showed that it was an unfamiliar call, so she subconsciously wanted to hang up.
Just before his finger touched the red button, the driver suddenly spoke. "Answer the call if you have one."
For some unknown reason, she answered the strange phone call.
The voice coming from the other end sounded like that of a middle-aged man, speaking in a foreign dialect, shouting something about what a sin it was.
Her already confused mind became even more confused, so she had to force herself to interrupt the other party, "Uncle, you may have called the wrong number. I don't know what you are talking about. If you have nothing else, I will hang up first."
"Wait a minute! Did I call you right? Your last name is Pei. Ms. Pei, right?"
"yes……"
"Oh, that's right. You called for a car, so I'm the driver!"
Suddenly, an ominous premonition rushed into Pei Zhiyu's head. He turned down the volume of his mobile phone and held it tightly to his ear, fearing that the sound would leak out and be heard by others.
The uncle on the other end did not notice anything unusual and continued to shout:
"I don't know which bastard took my car while I was peeing. I was calling the police and thinking of cancelling the order, but then I saw that you had already confirmed your ride!"
After hearing this, we can conclude that there is something wrong with the driver in the car, but his motive for doing so is still unclear.
Why did he steal the car? Was it random, or was he targeting the two of them?
"Hello? Hello! Are you still listening? Ms. Pei!!!"
She was holding the phone and was about to hang up, but when she looked up, a pair of black pupils seemed to be staring straight at her in her blurry black vision.
Half of the driver's face was reflected in the rearview mirror. He was wearing a black mask, a black baseball cap, and even a pure black jacket. His outfit was exactly the same as the man who bumped into her in the senior activity room that afternoon.
This familiar feeling is like being back in the afternoon and being in a noisy chess and card room.
All he could hear was the noise, the man in black who had hit his shoulder so hard that it hurt, and that murderous and sharp gaze.
If it was really him, then it meant that Zhong Yue was not just being suspicious and sensitive, but someone was really following them deliberately and was able to find the online taxi they called. He must have come prepared.
The apparent tranquility could no longer conceal the sound of Pei Zhiyu's heart beating violently in panic. With fear and helplessness, she quickly pressed the power button of her mobile phone.
Once, twice...
Just press it a third time and the alarm will sound automatically.
But at this moment, a dazzling white light shone straight over!
She didn't even have time to put her hands up to cover her eyes, and could only be forced to squint. Suddenly, she heard the sound of wheels rubbing against each other due to sudden braking, and then a red light seemed to flash before her eyes.
Before I could figure it out, the driver suddenly turned the steering wheel, causing the direction of the car to change dramatically.
Inertia caused Pei Zhiyu and Zhong Yue to fall towards the right door together, colliding with each other like a Jenga game. Zhong Yue's eyes widened, and he looked around with confusion and fear.
"Boom—"
A deafening explosion sounded, and the car that had just failed to avoid it crashed straight into the green belt and caught fire along with the trees.
The loud noise seemed to bring Pei Zhiyu back to the day when the hospital bathroom exploded. She now had a psychological trauma from similar explosions and fires, and cold sweat soaked her inner clothes.
"What, what happened?" Zhong Yue was still in shock.
The raging flames reflected in her pupils. She almost instinctively grabbed Pei Zhiyu's hand, hoping to seek some comfort, but the car's acceleration caused her to fall backwards and hit her head.
Pain and panic can make people lose their logic. Zhong Yue suddenly opened his mouth and sternly questioned the driver: "Brother, the car behind you exploded and you were still driving so fast. Are you planning to run the accident?!"
Pei Zhiyu wanted to hold her back, but failed. Instead, she urged him to call the police.
"Hurry up, Xiaoyu, call the police!"
If possible, I would like to seal her mouth.
