Xiao Feng's expression was quite colorful. What had he done during this time?
Not to mention he hadn't done anything bad. Even if he had done something outrageous, it had nothing to do with not being able to catch a taxi, right?
The more Xiao Feng thought about it, the more he felt something was off. He forcefully stopped a car, only to find that the driver didn't even dare to roll down the window. Instead, he fiddled with his phone and then stuck the screen against the windshield.
Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue leaned in to see a line of words: I'll pretend I've never seen you, won't call the police. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child not yet weaned. Please have mercy, spare me!!!
Looking at the three exclamation marks and then the driver's almost crying expression, Du Qingyue couldn't help but wonder even more what earth-shattering thing Xiao Feng might have done, causing every taxi to avoid him.
"Have you read too many martial arts novels?" Xiao Feng shouted, raising his voice. He had no choice but to shout, as the taxi's doors and windows were tightly shut. It was hard to say if the driver could hear clearly using a normal volume.
This shout caught the attention of passersby, and the driver's reaction was even more exaggerated. He flinched as if he had been electrocuted.
Xiao Feng pulled Du Qingyue away, because it suddenly occurred to him, the driver's phrase "I won't call the police," what could he have done to make someone say such a thing?
This question puzzled Xiao Feng, but the pressing issue was that the driver he stopped wouldn't call the police, yet other passing drivers might be more "enthusiastic."
Xiao Feng didn't want another trip to the police station, especially under such unclear circumstances where he himself didn't know what was going on.
Keeping away from the main road, they walked into a small alley. Xiao Feng stopped and Du Qingyue asked coldly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
What happened?
Xiao Feng was equally puzzled. How did it turn out that all the taxi drivers in Jiangcheng were suddenly afraid of him?
"I'm not quite sure either. Here, you call a car now, and I'll hide. When the driver comes, you'll ask him what's going on." Xiao Feng suggested.
"Okay." Du Qingyue agreed, took out her phone, and started hailing a ride, her expression a bit serious.
She believed Xiao Feng didn't know about this situation, so she suspected someone was messing things up behind the scenes.
To say Xiao Feng had enemies all over Jiangcheng who might want to take revenge seemed normal enough.
But the idea of him never being able to catch a taxi again as a form of revenge? That was just too childish.
Soon, a city SUV entered the alley at a speed of at least forty miles an hour.
"Screech!"
The vehicle came to a screeching halt beside Du Qingyue, the window rolled down, and a young man wearing sunglasses said coolly, "Beauty, did you call a ride?"
"Yes." Du Qingyue nodded, feeling a bit instinctively averse to the driver's dangerous driving habits.
Knowing that the alleys had many intersections and lots of residents on either side, the consequences would be unthinkable if a child suddenly ran out.
"Get in." The driver gestured with one hand on the steering wheel, smiling, "Any luggage I need to help you with?"
"No!" Du Qingyue replied coldly, then opened the back door and got in.
"Bang!"
The car door closed, and the driver didn't start driving immediately. Instead, he turned to chat, "You're alone, where's your boyfriend?"
"I don't have a boyfriend." Du Qingyue's tone was icy, her face expressionless, like an unmeltable iceberg.
However, just as the driver was about to ask for her WeChat, the iceberg melted...
Du Qingyue slowly revealed a smile, an instant charm that left the driver stunned.
She smiled at me!
She really smiled at me!
Doesn't this mean she's interested in me?
Just as the driver was having these thoughts, Du Qingyue said, "I don't have a boyfriend..."
The driver was suddenly unsettled. Repeatedly stating she didn't have a boyfriend, wasn't that a clear hint?
But just as he took out his phone, Du Qingyue lightly added, "But my husband is just outside the car, please open the door."
"Click, click, click!"
The driver felt something shatter, his heart twisting in pain. Was it really appropriate to speak half a sentence at a time?
Realizing the situation, the driver unlocked the car door, revealing Xiao Feng's smiling face.
"Hello!" The driver greeted awkwardly, considering he had just been thinking about someone else's wife, his conscience was uneasy.
But soon, the driver felt something was wrong because the handsome man outside looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
If it was a common face, that feeling wouldn't be unusual, but the person getting in was clearly not generic.
Suddenly, the driver widened his eyes, like remembering something, and immediately tried to push Xiao Feng out the door.
This was truly unexpected. If he had known, he wouldn't have driven into this alley. At least on the main road, he could have sought help, but here, not a soul appeared for ages. Even if he were killed, no one would likely see it.
Xiao Feng grabbed the driver's wrist with one hand, and with the other shut the passenger door, a cold expression on his face, "Tell me, why do all the taxis run when they see me?"
The driver was on the verge of tears, his eyes behind the sunglasses frantic and helpless, cursing in his heart: Why we run when we see you, don't you know?
But that was just in his mind, he dared not say it aloud.
"B-Brother, let's talk this over. I promise not to call the police. I have an eighty-year-old mother…" The driver swallowed, speaking with a sobbing tone.
Xiao Feng frowned, "Is this a script you all prepared?"
Because the previous driver he met had typed the same words on his phone screen, and now this driver was saying the same thing. This couldn't be a coincidence.
Seeing the other party's timid demeanor, Xiao Feng grew impatient. Since in their eyes, he was already a fearsome villain, he might as well play the role once.
With that thought, a flash of menace passed through Xiao Feng's eyes, "Speak, what's the real reason!"
The threat in his gaze and tone couldn't be more explicit, giving the impression that if they didn't comply, he might really resort to violence.
