Chapter 1207: Driver Chen’s Lingering Fear
??
Driver Chen’s hands trembled. At that moment, he couldn’t describe the fear and horror in his heart at all, nor could he describe the lingering fear and panic he felt at his brush with death.
Sure enough, that strange man from last night wasn’t a good person.
If Driver Chen hadn’t happened to pick up a Master yesterday, and that Master hadn’t given him a warning, if he hadn’t realized last night that something was wrong, and if he hadn’t left immediately without any care for making money, he would have been the victim.
At the thought that he might have been robbed and dismembered, Driver Chen shuddered and his face turned deathly white. His lips also turned pale with fright. His face was very unsightly and his lips trembled. His eyes were fixed on the news, and his pupils contracted in panic.
“Old Chen, what’s wrong with you?” The more Driver Chen’s wife looked at her husband, the more she felt that something was wrong. His forehead was covered in sweat. What was going on?
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Driver Chen’s son couldn’t help but ask.
Children were young and didn’t sense much. Taking advantage of his father’s inattention, 12-year-old Chen Zhiguo immediately snatched the remote control from his father’s hand and switched to a cartoon channel.
At that moment, Driver Chen couldn’t be bothered to bicker with his son. He had no appetite at all as he hurried back to the bedroom. When he got there, his limbs were cold and soft, and he almost fell to the floor.
It was Driver Chen’s wife who exhorted him to be careful.
Only then did Driver Chen support himself on the table. His legs felt like they were stepping on cotton. His mind was blank, and all he could think about was the report on the murder.
Driver Chen’s wife saw that her husband’s face was very unsightly and even more deathly white. It looked even more terrifying than some people’s faces when they were sick, as if he had been dealt a huge blow. She was really frightened at that moment. She couldn’t care less about breakfast and hurriedly followed her husband into the bedroom. Afraid that her son would be worried, Driver Chen’s wife stealthily closed the door. She then saw her husband sit on the bed in the bedroom and pull at his hair.
Driver Chen’s wife was really scared. “Old Chen, Old Chen, what’s wrong with you? Weren’t you fine just now? What’s wrong with you? Are you unwell? Why don’t you take leave today, and I’ll take you to a clinic for a look?”
Nothing could happen to Old Chen. He was the pillar of the family.
Driver Chen’s wife touched his forehead, and she realized that it was cold all over, and he looked even more tense. She pulled him up and was about to take him to the clinic for a look.
Driver Chen finally spoke, sounding a bit guilty. “Wife, I was the one who was dismembered and died last night!”

Driver Chen’s wife didn’t understand why her husband was suddenly saying such an inauspicious thing. Also, what did he mean?
Before Driver Chen’s wife could ask, he suddenly said, “Do you remember what I told you last night?”
Driver Chen’s wife nodded. “I remember, how can I not remember? Old Chen, why did you turn down a customer who offered three times the price last night?”
Driver Chen’s wife sounded very regretful when she thought about it. She wished she had been able to stop him last night.
Before Driver Chen’s wife could finish, he suddenly said, “That driver is dead. He was dismembered!”
Driver Chen’s wife was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, Driver Chen spoke again and said more clearly this time, “Last night, a Master told me that it was best not to take any passengers after 3:20am, or something would happen. Later, on the way home, I ran into a man in the middle of nowhere. It was the man who offered me three times the price last night. At that time, I thought of what the Master said, and felt that there was something wrong with that man, so I didn’t agree to take him. However, that man got into the taxi behind me. At that time, I was uneasy and remembered the license plate of the taxi.”
Driver Chen’s voice was clearly shaky. After a pause, he said, “And after one night, something really did happen.”
At that point, Driver Chen’s eyes widened. Not only were his pupils dilated, his face was also filled with panic and fear. His palms were covered in sweat; when he wiped them, it was like water. Driver Chen’s originally calm tone also turned agitated. “That driver was killed. The victim in the news just now was the taxi driver who took my business last night. He’s dead, he was dismembered! That person was really a Master. She didn’t lie to me! She didn’t lie to me!”
Driver Chen’s words really scared his wife silly at that moment. She was stupefied, shocked, and in disbelief. Then, overwhelming fear struck her heart. Driver Chen’s wife was so scared that her whole body turned soft. If she hadn’t been supporting herself against the wall, she would have collapsed to the floor.
At that moment, her emotions were similar to her husband’s. She was even more agitated than he was. She was horrified. She was almost certain that the man who had offered her husband three times the price last night might really be the murderer. At the thought that Old Chen had been on the verge of death last night – just a little more, just a little more, and the dead and dismembered body would have been her husband’s – Driver Chen’s wife panicked. She felt lingering fear, and her blood ran cold. She couldn’t imagine Old Chen dying.
If something really happened to Old Chen, their family would be finished.
Last night, she actually said that the Master was a swindler? She even complained that Old Chen had thrown away three times the price? At that moment, Driver Chen’s wife was incomparably glad that her husband had listened to that Master and hadn’t been greedy enough to put his life at risk. At that moment, Driver Chen’s wife was filled with gratitude for the Master who had given him guidance. She hurriedly said excitedly, “Old Chen, Old Chen, let’s go find that Master immediately. Yes, let’s hurry and buy some gifts to thank that Master!”
Driver Chen also remembered that he hadn’t given the Master the money for her fortune-telling. He was also excited and immediately agreed.
On the other side, Chi Shuyan waited until after 10am before she returned to the inn. That night, the thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts in the Yin Ghost Gonfalon ate and drank their fill, and their strength increased tremendously.
Although Chi Shuyan didn’t sleep the entire night, she was in good spirits after cultivating and meditating. When she entered the inn, she happened to run into Xiao Ningjin, Wei Panyang, Chang Hao and Xiong Luoying, who were obediently waiting in the hall. However, she didn’t see Jiang Duo.
Seeing that it was still early and there was no hurry, Chi Shuyan thought that this kid had probably gone to the washroom or something.
There was no one else in the hall on the first floor of the inn except for the staff. Xiao Ningjin and the others were excited to see Chi Shuyan, and they greeted her in unison.
Chi Shuyan nodded at them.
Xiao Ningjin suddenly thought of something and said, “Master Chi, right, two strange people came looking for you just now. They said it was urgent!”
