Chapter 52 Unexpected

  Aunt Hua stood behind the two, pointing at the enlarged photo of the suspect on the TV screen. "Ah, it's this bad guy! The newspapers have been writing about him every day for the past few days! This scoundrel only comes out at night and targets young and beautiful girls. He has already killed five people! He should be cut into a thousand pieces!"

  Hua Yi said with a hint of resentment, Gu Wangchuan's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he shifted his gaze away from the screen and glanced out the dark window.

  Damn it! She's supposed to be a virtuous and capable lady of the house, but she still hasn't returned even at this late hour!!

  Gu Xi Cen plugged her ears and didn't hear anything, it had nothing to do with her, she stood up, "Brother, I'm going first."

  Gu Wangchuan withdrew his gaze and nodded silently, "Mm."

  The aunt looked at the young master still sitting steadily on the sofa, sighed, and went back to the kitchen to check on her stew. These days, the young mistress often stayed up late, looking pale, she thought of supplementing her.

  When she came out, the living room was empty with no one in it.

  Hua Yi was taken aback.

  Just then, the sound of a sports car engine came from outside...

  Gu Xi Cen stood on the building, watching her big brother hastily drive away in his car, a faint smile rising at the corner of her lips.

  Lowering her head, she gazed at the few pots of Yilan flowers beside the balcony that had begun to wither.

  Crouching down, her fingers gently stroked the petals, and a rare tenderness appeared in her eyes...

  Lin Yue'er walked out of the company when night had already fallen.

  She massaged her sore and aching shoulders, looked at the time, and found that the last bus had already departed.

  After some thought, she took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Hua Yi first to report, but found that the phone was out of power.

  She reluctantly opened her purse and saw the pitifully small amount of cash inside, and was torn between taking a taxi or taking another bus route back when a taxi stopped in front of her.

  The window rolled down and the driver's low voice came out, "Miss, want a ride?"

  Everyone else has stopped in front of them, and Lin Yue'er didn't want to hesitate for too long either. She bit her teeth and said "uh" before getting on the car.

  "Qinglian neighborhood, thank you."

  The driver turned the car around and headed in the direction of Qinglian Community.

  Lin Yue sat in the back seat, bowing her head to look at the report she had just organized, which would be presented to Director Gu tomorrow. Hopefully, he wouldn't scold her harshly.

  There is incense lit in the car, with a very unique fragrance.

  Lin Yueer was extremely sensitive to spices, her nostrils flared slightly as she sniffed carefully, her eyes narrowed, and she looked up, muttering, "Mandarina... Rosemary?"

  The driver heard her words, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. Suddenly, a fierce look flashed across his face, and he stepped on the accelerator, speeding up the car.

  Lin Yueer did not notice the driver's abnormality, and out of professional instinct, she said suspiciously, "How can these two kinds of flowers be made into incense at the same time? It will produce anesthesia..."

  As she spoke, Lin Yue'er's head felt a bit dizzy, and she shook it vigorously. When she looked up again, from the rearview mirror, she stared straight at the driver's face wearing a mask...

  She suddenly reacted to something and wanted to put down the window, but found that it had been locked dead. She was anxious, "I want to get off!"

  "Hmph," the driver sneered, his dull eyes staring straight at her, "Miss, we haven't reached our destination yet, how can you get off the car?"

  Lin Yue'er hastily covered her nose to avoid inhaling more of the hallucinatory scent, "I don't want to sit anymore! I want to get off!!"

  The man smiled coldly and turned the car directly onto a side road from the main road.

  This is not the way to Qinglian residential area!

  Lin Yue'er's face turned pale, and she recklessly tried to open the car door to jump out, but it was also locked tightly.
