 Chapter 150: Trapped Outside the Umbrella in Heavy Rain

The sudden change in tone was chilling, accompanied by the eerie sound of heavy rain hitting the glass on this dark night. Jiang Chenchen's face remained expressionless as she looked at him. "Where are you trying to take the car?" "You noticed? Your reaction is quite slow," the driver sneered. "Stop the car." The driver, gripping the steering wheel, chuckled. "What a joke. I'm taking a shortcut. Don't be so nervous. If you don't believe me, check your phone's navigation. Oh, right, it seems your phone is out of battery." This man observed very carefully from inside the car. Jiang Chenchen stared at him. "Open the navigation." The driver nonchalantly replied, "You can do it yourself." If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be terrified at this point and wouldn't dare to continue. However, Jiang Chenchen leaned forward from the back seat and started the navigation. At this moment, the two were very close. If this driver had malicious intent, he would strike now. He did reach out, but Jiang Chenchen quickly intercepted his hand. The man also reacted swiftly, retracting his hand and placing it back on the steering wheel, firmly grasping it. "Your vigilance is pretty good," he said with a hint of surprise, his tone mocking and casual, as if he didn't find anything wrong with his actions. Jiang Chenchen glanced at him. He reacted quickly, probably having some combat skills. When she touched his hand just now, it seemed that none of his fingers were missing. But this person was very suspicious, not behaving like a legitimate driver. Jiang Chenchen activated the navigation; this route was indeed faster to reach the school. She leaned back into her seat and said to him, "Don't think of trying anything." "If I were the crazy midnight killer, would I stop because of this? Are you too naive?" The driver's voice suddenly turned cold again, and the car doors and windows were all locked. This place felt like a high-speed moving cage. Nowhere to escape! Jiang Chenchen leaned back in the rear seat, watching his actions. She spoke calmly, "Then try it." "Is that so?" The driver glanced at her, finding it amusing. He raised the corner of his mouth and remained silent. He bit off one glove, revealing his right hand without any missing fingers. He took out his phone, switching his gaze rapidly between the screen and the road ahead. One hand held the steering wheel, while the other typed quickly on the screen. The rain was exceptionally heavy, and such driving behavior was too dangerous. Although Jiang Chenchen could also drive in the rain like this, she found this person very suspicious. However, it hadn't reached the point where she needed to take action yet. She hadn't sensed real danger yet. "Stop the car." "We haven't arrived yet. Can I guarantee to take you to your destination?" the driver retorted. While he was distracted, Jiang Chenchen took a quick photo of the person in the back seat and sent it to someone. During his momentary distraction, a car came rushing towards them as if out of control! If it collided violently, it would be extremely dangerous! Jiang Chenchen quickly reached over, using her hand to turn the steering wheel slightly. The car only swerved a bit, and the other car scraped against it before hitting the guardrail. In the heavy rain, the collision sound still echoed in their ears. The driver was shocked. He had been careless and almost caused an accident. Jiang Chenchen calmly reached over and unlocked the car, opened the door, and swiftly got out. As for his car, due to this traffic accident, it probably wouldn't be able to continue. Whether he was the crazy midnight killer, the police would find out when they arrived. "Why are you getting out? I haven't taken you to your destination yet!" "No need. Consider the fare as a thank-you for saving your life just now." Jiang Chenchen rushed into the rainy night, not far from the school. She could reach it by running, probably in just over twenty minutes. The person inside the car watched her figure quickly disappear in the rain and angrily pounded the steering wheel. However, he couldn't stay here for long; this car was a fake taxi. Taking advantage of the fact that the road wasn't congested yet, he started the car, turned the steering wheel, and swiftly left the scene. Thinking about the woman's behavior just now, she seemed to have learned from Zhan Chen over these two years. Was she the person he had been looking for? She was indeed unique. His phone rang, interrupting his thoughts. He glanced at the phone screen and immediately answered. "Where is she?" A voice, as gentle as someone drunk, fell into his ears. Zhao Zhicheng paused for a moment, rarely hearing him in such a tone. "Mr. Zhan, she just ran away." The tone on the other end suddenly changed, sounding as if it was whispered right next to his ear, sending shivers down his spine. "Did you scare her?" Zhao Zhicheng's nerves tightened, quickly explaining, "No, it was an accident!" The other end cut him off, "But I don't want to hear explanations. You know what to do, right?" Without even a chance to defend himself, he responded immediately, "Understood." The call was already hung up. He wasn't even allowed to test that woman. Halfway through the drive, Zhao Zhicheng tossed away the license plate, circled back to his residence, an isolated and abandoned car workshop. Outside was desolate and in ruins, the heavy rain had turned the ground into mud. Stepping on muddy water, he entered the house, went down to the basement. Despite the exterior, it was clean and well-decorated inside. He took off his pants, holding a knife and looking at his thigh, hesitating for a moment. He remembered Sophie, who had been following Zhan Chen all the time. Because she harbored ulterior motives and didn't follow his instructions when she sent that woman back to the country, she disappeared shortly after returning. Many people said she died. Zhan Chen saved him, and he was willing to go through fire and water for him, even if it meant severe punishment. Without hesitation in the hand holding the knife, he stabbed it into his thigh. ... Jiang Chenchen ran in the heavy rain. She needed to run a bit faster; she was almost there. She couldn't keep Sheng Mingsi waiting for too long. He was busy every day and still cooked for her; he must be exhausted. Lost in her thoughts amid the rain, her pace was fast. The rain soaked her entire body, making it difficult for her to keep her eyes open. Almost there. The twenty-minute journey felt like it would take her less than fifteen. Unexpectedly, while running in the rain, she could be so fast. In her scattered thoughts, suddenly, a figure holding an umbrella appeared ahead. She was about to collide, halted her steps just in time, avoiding a collision. The person extended a hand from the umbrella, pulling her into its shelter. The heavy rain was now isolated outside the umbrella. It felt like a tranquil world in this secluded space. A black umbrella, black eyes. A familiar person. Sheng Mingsi looked at her with cold eyes, pulled her waist closer, and brought her under the umbrella, the cold breath descending. Jiang Chenchen blinked her wet eyelashes, her hazy gaze gradually clearing. She looked up at him. "Brother Ah Si, I'm back."
