Thus, he conceived a sinister plot.

Xiaofang was afraid even to take a seat, and judging by her attire, she seemed like someone who had come from a reclusive forest haven, probably a countryside girl who had never experienced the world.

Although the man sitting next to her knew some modern things, his accent didn't seem local to Yanjing; therefore, he could take Lin Yifan and Xiaofang to a secluded place, then, with his brothers, they could overpower Lin Yifan and take turns with this girl, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal.

Lin Yifan was unaware that a venomous scheme was quietly taking shape at that moment; he was simply asking the taxi driver as a regular passenger would, "Master, do you know where the Yanjing Night Osmanthus Auction is?"

The Night Osmanthus Auction was a large organization with branches in major cities across the country; thus, as the capital of Shenzhou Country, Yanjing certainly had one.

"Master? Junior brother, why are you calling him master? Are you betraying our sect?" Xiaofang challenged.

She found this genuinely unforgivable. Yifan had already taken a master; how could he casually call someone else Master? It was utterly disrespectful to Bright True Master.

"..." Lin Yifan was sweating profusely and utterly speechless.

Calling a taxi driver 'Master' was quite normal in modern society, but he hadn't anticipated that in Xiaofang's eyes, it would be seen as disloyal and treacherous.

Nevertheless, he understood; after all, Xiaofang wasn't worldly. So he patiently explained, "Calling a taxi driver 'Master' is a sign of respect, as they are providing us with a service; but if you don't like it, I can just call him driver."

"In any case, you now have a master, and you should not call someone else master so casually, understand?" Xiaofang asked angrily.

To her, Bright True Master was both a teacher and a father figure, the most respected person in her life, and she would not allow anyone to tarnish his reputation. Not even the person she loved the most.

"Got it! Definitely got it!" Lin Yifan quickly responded.

He hadn't expected Xiaofang to take the matter so seriously and knew he'd have to be more careful in the future.

After replying to Xiaofang, Lin Yifan asked the taxi driver again, "Driver! Do you know where this place is? If you do, please take us there!"

The taxi driver, too, was baffled by their conduct: "Master? Junior brother? Junior sister? Are these sect organizations still a thing in modern society? Ridiculous."

However, confused as he might be, he still had to answer Lin Yifan's question, so he said, "I do! Fasten your seat belt, and I'll take you there now."

Lin Yifan followed the instructions, fastening his seat belt; then he taught Xiaofang how to fasten hers.

"Junior brother! Why do we need to fasten this belt? What's it for?" Xiaofang asked, puzzled.

"This is a seat belt; it's for our safety," Lin Yifan replied.

"Oh! I see! But do we really need this thing?" Xiaofang inquired.

"It doesn't really matter if we need it or not, just do it for appearances," Lin Yifan answered.

Traffic police are strict, and if they notice that they're not wearing seat belts, they might get a lecture for it. It's better to just wear them to avoid trouble.

The next moment, the car started, and Xiaofang felt amazed; she didn't expect this vehicle to be even more impressive than a horse-drawn carriage—it was smooth and surprisingly fast, only the air quality was slightly poorer.

Truth be told, she found the smell of leather quite unpleasant and now refrained from breathing through her mouth.

Xiaofang's various behaviors only solidified the taxi driver's belief that she was a mountain recluse, a type of person who was easy to deceive, so he was determined to plan well.

On the road, he drove while using the local accent to discuss the plan with a brother who also drove a taxi.

Soon, several taxi drivers had joined his ranks, and they set a location to carry out their ***** plan.

Unfamiliar with the routes, Lin Yifan could only converse with Xiaofang inside the car, completely oblivious to the taxi driver taking them deeper and deeper.

The taxi driver took the rural route, intending to bring Lin Yifan and Xiaofang to an abandoned construction site in the suburbs, then control or kill Lin Yifan, and then proceed to *****. While driving, he stealthily watched the man and woman in the backseat, and seeing that they were still unaware and not vigilant, he felt at ease.

Now, he could calmly fantasize about the wonderful events that would follow.

More than thirty minutes later, he brought Lin Yifan and Xiaofang to the abandoned construction site in the suburbs.

Then, he stopped the car and unfastened his seatbelt, preparing to open the door and get out.

Noticing the car stopping, Lin Yifan looked around and asked curiously, "Driver, have we arrived?"

He saw desolation, which was in stark contrast to the towering skyscrapers of the big city; it made no sense for the Night Osmanthus Auction to be set up in such a barren place. This was the question he could not comprehend.

At this moment, he faintly guessed at something.

"Yeah! We're here!" The taxi driver showed a cunning smile, extremely satisfied with himself.

"I'm supposed to be going to the Night Osmanthus Auction, why have you brought me to this empty, abandoned construction site?" Lin Yifan demanded.

"Why? Of course, it's because I want to have my way with this beauty beside you who looks like a Heavenly Immortal," the taxi driver replied with a grin, brimming with anticipation.

"I can't believe it! You take a cab these days and can still run into an 'old driver'; this is just unbelievable," Lin Yifan said in disbelief.

He didn't want to resort to violence, but if someone was practically throwing themselves at him, he wasn't going to hold back.

On the other hand, Xiaofang was just as disgusted by the taxi driver's behavior, but she wasn't afraid because she had Lin Yifan to protect her.

Even without Lin Yifan's protection, she could wipe out this sleazy taxi driver within minutes, so there was truly nothing to worry about.

"Hee hee! Thanks for the compliment! I didn't expect you to know a little 'knowledge.' Too bad it's all too late," the taxi driver said with a chuckle, obviously amused by Lin Yifan's previous remark.

"Indeed! It's indeed too late for you to avoid becoming crippled," Lin Yifan retorted mockingly, showing no fear.

"Wow, the kid's got quite an attitude! I might not be able to subdue you alone, but I have brothers! Did you think I would do this all by myself?" The taxi driver was not at all phased by Lin Yifan's threat, his face full of mockery.

"You need help with a kidnapping *****? Isn't that just shameful?" Lin Yifan challenged.

"What's the face for? The face is meant to be lost! Just surrender quietly, and maybe you can save your own life," the taxi driver said with a sinister laugh. Then he opened the door, got out of the car, and shouted to the brothers already hiding at the construction site, "Hey! Brothers, time to get to work!"

The car keys had been taken by him, so Lin Yifan and Xiaofang could no longer escape.
