Chapter 162: Escaping a Life-Threatening Situation
The taxi driver was no exception.
Ignoring the sudden blast of cold air that filled the car when the woman got in, he turned to her and said with a smile, "Miss, please fasten your seat belt. We're ready to go."
"Okay," the woman's voice was soft and gentle, giving the impression that she was harmless.
The taxi driver was the same man who had driven Qin Ruan last time.
He loved to chat with his passengers while driving.
"Miss, it's late at night and you're all alone. Aren't you afraid of running into bad people?" Without waiting for the woman to answer, he continued, "In my opinion, it's best to find someone to accompany you when going out at night. You don't know that most criminal incidents around the world happen at night, and single women are the most common victims. Even in cities with public safety measures, there are still cruel and violent crimes. As a young woman, you're the most likely target for these criminals..."
The driver was focused on driving and continued to talk incessantly.
He couldn't see the woman sitting in the backseat, but black mist was emanating from her body, and her hand resting on her lap was covered in black mist.
The white fingers he had seen before now had sharp nails with a glint of blade-like light, revealing their viciousness.
Not hearing a response from the back, the taxi driver wisely kept his mouth shut.
He thought the passenger was not talkative and found him too chatty.
The car fell into a strange silence, and the driver finally realized that something was wrong.
The air conditioning in the car seemed to be too strong.
It was summer, and even in the middle of the night, it shouldn't be so cold.
The driver lowered his head to check the temperature setting of the air conditioning, but it was set at the usual temperature.
However, the cold air in the car gave him goosebumps on his arms.
"Excuse me, do you know where the food street is?"
The female passenger behind suddenly spoke up and asked.
As soon as the driver heard her, he instantly threw away his doubts from earlier and quickly responded, "Yes, I know. I used to live in the West City area, and only moved a couple of years ago. I am very familiar with that area."
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. I won't take you on a longer route."
The woman hooked her lips and smiled. Her exquisitely beautiful appearance was like a camellia flower, both beautiful and dangerous.
She leaned forward, and her black nails slowly approached the taxi driver.
Her nails, enveloped in thick black mist, were like sharp blades, glinting in the darkness.
The coldness was getting closer, and the taxi driver couldn't help but tremble twice.
The woman's black nails were getting closer and were about to touch the taxi driver's neck.
Just a few centimeters forward, and a life would be lost.
In this critical moment, the taxi driver leaned forward and reached out to press the air conditioning button.
The unsuspecting driver, who had narrowly escaped danger, muttered, "What's going on today? Why is it so cold in the car?"
The woman quickly withdrew her hand. Her black eyes, without a trace of white, swirled with dark vortexes as she stared fixedly at the back of the taxi driver's head, with a strange light flickering in her eyes.
The driver, who had turned off the air conditioning in the car, continued to drive forward, completely unaware of what had just happened.
The road to the West City was getting more and more remote, with very few vehicles passing by.
After driving for a while, the driver noticed that a section of the road was dark because a street light was out, and the road was shrouded in darkness.
He furrowed his brows and turned on the car's headlights.
Despite having driven a taxi for so many years, he was still very familiar with the way to the West City. But he had never encountered this kind of situation before.
The dark and gloomy road gave him an eerie feeling, and his heart was pounding, feeling uneasy.
