Chapter 2463 — The Revenge of Su Lengzi
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
What Wei Zhao did not know was that the boarding of Kang Jinglong and You Panhu would land him in no small amount of trouble.
Before boarding, the driver of that exploration vehicle had received a phone call from Su Lengzi.
The driver knew well enough what standing Su Lengzi held. He was nothing but a hired hand, while Su Lengzi might be called half-owner of the resort. How would he dare defy a word from Su Lengzi?
"Brother Lengzi, what are your orders?" the driver asked cautiously, wondering what Su Lengzi could want at this hour.
"The passengers in your vehicle are enemies of mine!" Su Lengzi had spotted Kang Jinglong and You Panhu boarding the vehicle from a distance, and only then had he obtained the driver's number and called.
"Huh?" The driver was stunned by Su Lengzi's words.
"Keep your voice down. Don't speak—just listen to me, then do as I say!" Su Lengzi lowered his voice and instructed the driver: "Understand what I mean?"
"I understand..." How would the driver dare go against Su Lengzi's wishes? He hastily steadied himself and spoke as though nothing were amiss.
"Good. In a little while, when you take the people in your vehicle to the abandoned village, drive them to some secluded spot, then find an excuse that the vehicle has broken down. Get out, come back, and leave them stranded there!" Su Lengzi said.
"That..." The driver hesitated. This hardly seemed right. If he abandoned these guests in the abandoned village, in some out-of-the-way place, and anything happened, how would he answer for it? As an exploration vehicle driver who had shuttled between the resort and the village for years, he knew very well that there really were ghosts in the abandoned village!
It was no rumor—there really were ghosts. They simply had no intention of harming anyone, and only on the condition that the resort did not disturb them. The routes their vehicles took had all been carefully chosen to avoid provoking the ghosts as much as possible; that was why, all these years, the two sides had coexisted in peace.
As for the unclean things the tourists saw, those were not merely tricks of the eye or imagination. Sometimes, at certain points along the route, the ghosts could indeed be glimpsed.
"Did you hear what I said? You don't want your job anymore?" Seeing the driver silent, Su Lengzi grew angry at once. "Give me a straight answer—yes or no. If not, I'll replace you this instant!"
"All right..." There was nothing for it. The driver steeled himself and agreed. Nor did he have any choice in the matter: this job at the resort amounted to one run a night—easy work with good pay—and he did not want to lose it.
But... watching a group of innocent tourists about to be abandoned in the abandoned village, perhaps frightened out of their wits, the driver could not help but sigh. Still, no matter what, he could not afford to cross Su Lengzi.
