“Sister-in-law, there’s something wrong with the cars behind us. Why did they all stop?” Xiao Shan was the first to notice something wrong with the other cars in the rearview mirror.
Wu Haoming drove slower and slower. It wasn’t that he was deliberately waiting for the cars behind them, but he realized that there was fog in front of them. It grew thicker and thicker, and he couldn’t see clearly even with the headlights on, so he didn’t dare accelerate.
He felt that there was something wrong with his surroundings, and it looked sinister all around them. Moreover, it seemed like they had traveled this road before. It was as if they were going around in circles, and the vegetation on both sides of the road was exactly the same. Wu Haoming’s heart thumped. After confirming that they had been going around in circles, he couldn’t help but say, “Sister-in-law, this isn’t the right road. Why are we here again?”
Coincidentally, a phone suddenly rang at that moment. Chi Shuyan touched her pocket and realized that it was hers. She took out her phone and glanced at the screen. Seeing that it was a call from Yang Kun, and seeing Xu Tong looking behind their car with a worried expression, she simply turned on the speaker and had Wu Haoming stop the car first. Her sharp gaze swept over their surroundings. Seeing that it was all dark outside, she restrained herself and picked up the call.
Wu Haoming nodded and immediately stepped on the brake and replied, “Yes, Sister-in-law.”
!!
As soon as the call went through, Yang Kun’s hurried and careful words came through. He was a bit embarra.s.sed. He first described the situation on their end, such as Director w.a.n.g suddenly waking up and suddenly wanting to go back to the village. He called to confirm the earthquake and the strangeness with Dashan Village, hoping that she could persuade the others.
Chi Shuyan looked impatient when she heard Yang Kun’s words, but when she heard his cautious tone, she didn’t hang up.
If it were in the past, it didn’t matter who believed her or not. It was up to them whether they wanted to believe her or not. She didn’t have the mood or time to persuade anyone not to go back.
Why should she waste time making things difficult for herself? The other party wouldn’t necessarily believe her after this, no matter what she said – whether or not they lived depended on their own fate.
Whether or not they lived had nothing to do with her.
Before Chi Shuyan could speak, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan heard someone say that they were going back to the village, and couldn’t help but curse. They were already fl.u.s.tered, and were afraid that they were running out of time. These people, on the other hand, were wasting their time. Wu Haoming was more hot-tempered, so he immediately couldn’t help but retort, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. What does it have to do with us? Sister-in-law, who cares if they die? How do we have the time to talk nonsense?”
Xiao Shan hurriedly echoed him, but when he saw Director Feng’s cold gaze, he immediately fell silent.
On the other side, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were also a little anxious when they heard Brother Wu and Brother Xiao’s impatient voices. If it were anyone else, the two of them would have ignored them. However, this involved Director w.a.n.g, so it wasn’t good for them not to ask. They felt that they had let Master Chi down, and their tone became even more cautious.
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s cautious appearance simply stupefied everyone, including Director w.a.n.g, and especially Yan Zhengming. Yan Zhengming simply couldn’t believe that his brother and Shenglin had been brainwashed so deeply by that young lady. What magic did that Chi girl have?
Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong also stared with wide eyes.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin didn’t hear Master Chi’s reply for a long time. Afraid that she would be impatient, not only was their tone cautious, their expressions were also very apprehensive. They regretted making this call even more. If Director w.a.n.g really didn’t believe them, they could knock him unconscious once more. Although Director w.a.n.g most likely wouldn’t let them off if they did it again, it was still better than having a death wish, right?
As for that Du woman, she could get out of the car – who cared if she died or not?
The two looked at each other and made up their minds not to return to the village. Only a fool would go back and court death.
Yang Kun was apprehensive and didn’t know what to say, but Ruan Shenglin calmed down first and took the initiative to say carefully. “Master Chi, we’re actually fine. My wife isn’t a bother, is she?”
Ruan Shenglin’s most selfish wish now was for his wife and child to be fine. After saying that, he was about to hang up, when he heard Master Chi reply, “Mrs. Ruan is fine, don’t worry!”
After Chi Shuyan said that, Xu Tong immediately agreed. She told Ruan Shenglin not to worry about her. She was right next to Master Chi. It was really fine. He just had to take care of himself. She also told them not to stop the van and to hurry up and catch up with them.
Xu Tong looked at Master Chi next to her. Like Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming, Xu Tong also secretly hated the people who wanted to go back to the village at that moment. It didn’t matter if they returned to the village, but they didn’t have to implicate her husband and Brother Kun.
Ruan Shenglin was very relieved to hear his wife’s words. He was about to hang up, when Du Lan couldn’t help but say, “Film Emperor Ruan, is this how you let that Chi woman treat you and Brother Yang? By the way, why isn’t she saying that there will be an earthquake? Does she have no confidence?”
Du Lan originally wanted to sow discord, but as soon as she spoke, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun ordered in unison with cold faces, “Shut up!”
“Shut the h.e.l.l up!”
It was rare for Ruan Shenglin to curse, and everyone in the car was stupefied. Du Lan was so scared that she trembled and her face turned livid. She couldn’t believe that Film Emperor Ruan, who was usually a gentleman and had a good temper, would curse at her. She didn’t dare speak again and immediately shut up obediently.
“Master Chi, we’re fine. That’s all for now!” Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun didn’t dare disturb Master Chi anymore.
“Wait!”
Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun thought that Master Chi still had something to tell them, so they hurriedly listened seriously. They heard Master Chi’s familiar voice on the other end of the line. “I’ll only say it once: To make it short, there will indeed be an earthquake in Dashan Village tomorrow. We’ll talk about the specifics after we leave the village. It’s best if we leave as soon as possible. Secondly, there are indeed strange things hidden in Dashan Village. Not only are the people in Dashan Village dead, there are also people raising an evil creature in their temple. If you don’t want to die, it’s best to leave the village as soon as possible!”
