Chapter 719 - 718 Liang Family Town
"So, what's the matter? Why is it best not to go to Liang Family Town and Qilian Mountain?"Hearing Chu Ge ask again, the driver hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "Okay, well... I'll tell you."
After speaking, the driver glanced around again, looking guilty like a thief, which made Chu Ge both curious and amused. There were only the two of them in the car, what was there for the driver to look at?
"Actually... it's like this. Just the day before yesterday, I took my wife and kids to Qilian Mountain, and then... then..."
At this point, the driver hesitated again, his eyes showing sheer terror, cold sweat seeping out visibly from his forehead, and his hands on the steering wheel began to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing the driver like this, Chu Ge knew he must have seen something dreadful. He couldn't help but become more serious. The day before yesterday... wasn't that the day Chen Zhihao called him?
After waiting for a few seconds, Chu Ge raised his hand and patted the driver's shoulder, smiling slightly, "What happened then?"
The driver was obviously startled by Chu Ge again. Thinking back on that day's events, it all seemed absurd, yet he was sure it was no dream; that terrifying scene had truly unfolded right before his eyes.
Over the past two days, he had kept this matter bottled up, hardly able to breathe from the pressure, always wanting to share it with someone. But he knew that even if he did, people would laugh at him, or worse, think he was crazy.
But now he truly couldn't hold it in any longer, the urge to talk growing stronger. After all, this person was just a passenger who happened to get into his car; they probably wouldn't have any interaction after today. So he might as well say it!
"In the end, I don't know if I saw an Immortal or a monster, it almost scared me to death! Really, I'm not lying, honestly!"
The driver's expression became very agitated, breathing heavily, his trembling hands tightly clenched together. After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth, again casting frightened glances around.
Chu Ge was slightly taken aback, then gently patted the driver's shoulder, smiling at him calmly, "I believe you, don't be nervous, take your time to speak."
"You, you believe me?" The driver abruptly turned his head, staring intently into Chu Ge's eyes, then quickly gave a self-deprecating smile, "Forget it, how could you believe me? But thank you, you're a good person, at least you didn't laugh at me even if you think I'm crazy." in the car, revealing two exquisite wine glasses and a bottle of red wine, "Before we get down to business, would you care for a good drink?"
"I really appreciate Mr. Chen's kind offer. Romanée-Conti, according to Robert Parker, is a wine for millionaires, but only billionaires can actually drink it. This wine might not be much to Mr. Chen, but to a pauper like myself, it's quite an honor."
Chen Zhihao's right hand holding the wine bottle paused slightly, then he chuckled lightly, "Seems you not only know cars but wine as well, just that..."
The "just that" was left unfinished by Chen Zhihao, ending with a soft laugh through his nose, then he turned his eyes back to the wine.
However, just as he was about to open the bottle, Chu Ge reached out, blocking his right hand and the bottle.
"Just that, let's have the wine after we finish our business."
Chu Ge also said "just that," but what he meant contrasted sharply with the unfinished words of Chen Zhihao.
Chen Zhihao stared at Chu Ge for a few seconds, slightly tilted his head, lowered his eyelids, pressed his left thumb to his temple, and gently rubbed his forehead with his index finger, suddenly breaking into loud laughter.
The man in the back seat, however, frowned.
