Chapter 2465 — The Car Broke Down?
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"All right then, let's get out and have a look." Wei Zhao's suspicions about the driver's purpose only deepened. Since when was it impossible to inspect a car with passengers aboard? And the tourist handbook explicitly stated that visitors were not to get out partway through the trip—yet this driver was shooing them out directly.
Wei Zhao was curious to see just what the driver was up to, so after a moment's thought he smiled slightly and said, "Fine. Let's get out and take a look."
Watching Wei Zhao's perilous display, Kang Jinglong thought to himself: Go on, keep pretending. When we get out and go exploring in that desolate village, we'll see whether you piss yourself in fright.
Han Jingyi wore an indifferent expression, put away her tablet, and stood up to get out. Wang Xinyan was reluctant but had no choice—though with Wei Zhao beside her, she felt considerably more at ease.
As for You Panhu's claim that Wei Zhao was afraid of ghosts and dared not leave the car, Wang Xinyan naturally did not believe a word of it. To her it was sheer nonsense—Wei Zhao was not afraid even of robbers or heaven-tier soft-shelled turtles, so how could he fear ghosts?
Once out of the car, a gust of cold wind made Wang Xinyan shiver involuntarily. She edged a little closer to Wei Zhao, yet did not dare draw too near; in front of Kang Jinglong, she did not want to go too far and tear all pretense of civility away.
From the way Kang Jinglong had been needling Wei Zhao all along, Wang Xinyan knew he had not given up pursuing her. What he had said down in the valley had probably been empty talk, not to be taken seriously.
"Hey, this place is a thrill! Let's go take a look over there," Kang Jinglong said, pointing to a shaded spot not far off. "Since we've nothing better to do, let's go see whether there really are ghosts."
"We should stay close by. Isn't it a bad idea to go too far?" Wang Xinyan hesitated. Girls had an instinctive resistance to and fear of dark, gloomy places like this—though of course, Han Jingyi was a category unto herself.
At the moment Han Jingyi was not especially afraid; she was looking all around, taking in the surroundings.
Wei Zhao did not move either, except that all his spiritual perception was now fixed on the car. He had felt from the start that something was off about the driver, so the moment he stepped out, he had fastened his attention on the man.
"Lengzi, it's me..." In the car, the driver carefully dialed Su Lengzi's number and reported the latest developments.
"Oh? Have you done everything I told you?" Su Lengzi asked.
"Done. Lengzi, I brought them to a remote spot, but... it's too scary here. I don't even dare drive back alone..." the driver said cautiously.
"Once they get out, just drive back, won't you? Leave them there—isn't that enough?" Su Lengzi said.
