After being intimidated by Xiao Feng, the driver indeed confessed. He took out his phone and found a WeChat group named: Jiangcheng Taxi Association.
The group had over 800 members, and joining required verification that one is a taxi driver. Drivers from ride-hailing companies or valet services could also join.
In fact, the name of the group sounded quite upscale, but it was just an internally formed group within the industry, similar to car enthusiast clubs in certain regions. However, the latter is for a hobby, while the former is for profession.
The driver found a group document, then opened it, and shakily handed it to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng took the phone and saw written on it: Attention brothers and sisters, on the night of December 4th, during the heavy rain, a vicious carjacking occurred on Jiangxin Bridge. A man threatened the driver with a knife. Everyone, be extremely careful if you see this person!
Better to earn one less fare than to lose your life!
Below, there were several very clear pictures, showing Xiao Feng holding Su Yuzhuo's knife against that driver's neck.
Xiao Feng suddenly understood. If this was the reason, then being refused by taxi drivers was not unjustified.
Although he wasn't a real villain in this sense, the problem was, why should others believe him?
Thinking about how he was once the most welcomed by taxi drivers, but now the most feared, this contrast was undeniably immense.
As Xiao Feng looked at the phone, he didn't hide the content, so Du Qingyue in the backseat naturally saw it too. She couldn't help but ask, "Weren't you looking for Shihan that night? How did you end up hijacking a car on Jiangxin Bridge?"
The implication was, with such heavy rain, how did you get up there?
Xiao Feng sighed and said, "When I went up there, I took a cab. But the greedy driver ran away halfway. I had no choice but to resort to this extreme method."
After speaking, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, thankful that the person who took the photos didn't capture Su Yuzhuo, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
And although Du Qingyue still felt something was off, she couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong at the moment, so she decided to let it go for now.
"Can I, can I leave now?" the driver said shakily.
"Go ahead." Xiao Feng returned the phone, then got out of the car, watching as the vehicle sped away unsteadily.
The reason for the shakiness was clearly because the driver hadn't yet recovered from the intense nervousness.
Xiao Feng didn't intend to ask the driver to clear his name, because one person's words wouldn't help in this matter. At the very least, a significant number of people's opinions needed to change.
But that's not an easy task, it can only be approached slowly, looking for opportunities.
At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of something: why didn't the driver he threatened call the police afterwards?
Could it be due to fear of retaliation?
It's possible, but Xiao Feng felt the real situation might not be like that.
"I'll call Yixin to drive over and pick us up." Du Qingyue took out her phone, feeling helpless about being unable to get a cab.
Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, but kept questioning in his heart what exactly led the driver not to report it to the police?
Could it be that he accidentally hijacked a fugitive?
...
Inside a star-rated hotel, more than thirty people gathered around a huge table.
The table was filled with a dazzling array of dishes. Most people stood up to eat, showing no regard for manners, yet the atmosphere in the room was particularly lively.
Lu Yao, Lin Zhiyan, and Lin Jiaxuan sat together. The three were quite close due to Xiao Feng, and they all got along well, quickly establishing a friendship.
However, at this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a young girl came in. She slightly lowered her head, her signature smile absent from her face, with red-rimmed eyes, as if she had just cried.
In the private room, everyone was stunned at this scene. How did the usually energetic little girl suddenly become like this?
"Shihan, what happened?" Wei Shuai stood up and asked.
The rest quickly swallowed their food and gathered round.
"Who bullied you? Tell us, and we'll go find them together!"
"Yeah! Whoever dares to bully us, we'll beat them till their teeth scatter!"
"Just say the word, and everyone here will help you vent your frustration!"
Amidst the chorus of shouts, no one asked what had actually happened, nor did they question who was right or wrong.
In everyone's heart, how could such a sensible and adorable little girl possibly be in the wrong?
When people feel wronged, they are often sensitive and fragile inside. Seeing so many people caring for her, the little girl burst into tears again, then ran towards the bathroom in the suite, locking the door behind her.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if they should go over and knock on the door, but just then, Wang Lubo said with a slight chuckle, "You all are still too excitable. Who did Mu Shihan go out with?"
"Brother Feng," someone quickly replied.
"With Brother Feng's personality, would he watch Mu Shihan get bullied?" Wang Lubo asked while holding a large piece of pork.
Everyone paused, then collectively shook their heads.
"So, there's only one truth," Wang Lubo took a big bite of meat, speaking with his mouth full, "Ultimately, it's Brother Feng who caused Mu Shihan's grievance."
"..." The room fell into silence, all feeling that Wang Lubo's analysis made perfect sense.
"Lao Hong, didn't you just say you would beat the person who bullied Shihan till his teeth scattered?" someone said, "Now that we've found the culprit, it's time for you to act, go on."
Lao Hong immediately lost his temper, "Go my ass, if I go, will I even come back?"
The atmosphere gradually lifted, and seeing Lu Yao and the others running to the bathroom door, everyone stopped speaking much, just feeling continuing to eat seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Alright, just eat." Miao Yueqian called everyone back, "Kids will always throw tantrums, don't you all add to the chaos."
It's not that Miao Yueqian wasn't concerned about the little girl, but being a captain, she needed a sense of perspective. Today's theme was to celebrate the championship, not to comfort a hurting little girl's soul. We must not put the cart before the horse.
"Sister Shihan, please open the door and tell us what's wrong. We'll all help you think of a solution." Lin Jiaxuan patiently persuaded.
"I want to be alone for a while." The little girl's slightly hoarse voice came through the door.
