The Dark Town

The driver

Author's POV

It was evening time. Lan zhan was sitting inside his sports car waiting for his friend.

Lan zhan,"hello bro how much time will you take?"

Xue yang,"I will arrive in ten minutes. You already there ?"

Lan zhan,"yes ,come fast"

Saying this Lan zhan disconnected the call.

He was waiting near the metro station for his friend xue yang.

All of sudden a boy with a bag on his shoulder entered the car and sat on his back seat and said,
"Drop me to XXX University . How much will you take?"

Lan zhan looked at the boy through the mirror with an expressionless face.

Lan zhan,'do I look like a driver to him? You look new here boy. No wonder you dare to sit in this car while the whole town runs away from it.'

Lan zhan takes out his gun from his pocket to kill him .
He turns around to look at the boy and immediately his attention was caught by two things.

He immediately changes his idea of killing him there.

Lan zhan,'luck is by my side today. Who thought the thing I was searching for a long time would come to me by itself.'

He smirks evilly and puts the gun again in his pocket and starts driving.

Wei ying finds this place very weird. When he came here he noticed how the people never looked at each other and they never talked among themselves. They only talked when it was a necessity . One more thing what he found weird was that most of the people keep their face covered as much as possible. Most of them would wear mask and hats. Many people would be wearing hoodie.

Wei ying thought while observing the driver ,'why didn't he said how much will he take. This driver is very weird . Well he is scary also. Anyways what I have to do with it. I want to reach there fast . I am very tired. All what I want now is to have a nice dinner and sleep. Tomorrow is Sunday. I can sleep as much as I want.'

Wei ying who was lost in his own thoughts heard the voice of the driver talking to someone on his phone.

"Come by yourself. I am heading to my mansion."

"..........."

" I got a nice prey. I am taking him there."

"….........."

"Okay"

The driver disconnected the call.

Wei ying found his conversation very creepy.

Wei ying,"what the hell he was talking. Prey??? He said he is going to mansion and he is taking 'him' there. No wei ying don't be suspicious unnecessarily. "

Wei ying tried to calm him down . He noticed that the driver was looking at him through the mirror from time to time.

He felt very uncomfortable.
He took out his phone to check if they were going on correct direction. His tension increased when he saw that they were going in opposite direction .
He tried to look calm but he was internally panicking.
Lan zhan noticed his tension and smirked.

Wei ying,"sir you took the wrong way. I have to go to XXX university. "

Lan zhan didn't said anything and continued driving.

Wei ying,"hello can you listen me."

Wei ying panicked when the driver increased the speed.

Wei ying,"stop the car please. "

The driver completely ignored him and continued to drive.

Wei ying tried to open the door but it was lock.

Wei ying,'what should I do. Was he talking about me on his phone. What if he is a criminal. Will he kill me? '

Wei ying,"sir please stop the car. "
Listening no response from the driver and wei ying started shouting for help while banging the window glass which was black in colour.

Being irritated by the shouting of the latter lan zhan took out his gun and placed it at the latter's chest.
Then Lan zhan said in a deep voice,
"Keep quite or else I kill you here itself."

Wei ying froze at his position as the gun was placed on his chest.
His eyes became teary and also red as he was on the verge of crying.

Seeing that the boy was quite Lan zhan removed the gun from his chest and kept it in his pocket.

Wei ying took out his phone to call the police. He couldn't see the screen and his eyes were filled with tears. He roughly wiped his eyes and was about to call the police when the driver spoke to him,
"You are so naive boy. Calling the police in front of me. Do you think I can't see you. Keep your phone down or else I will break your hands so you won't be able to use them."

Wei ying shivered from fear listening to the driver. He slowly kept his phone on his seat beside him.

After sometime he decided to talk to the driver thinking that maybe he will let  him go .

Wei ying,'I never had enmity with anyone. I don't know him. Then why will he want to hurt me. There should be a reason for that. Maybe he mistook me for someone else. I should talk to him. He might let me go.'

Thinking this wei ying gathered his courage to speak to the latter,
"Sir please let me go. I don't even know you. Why do you want to kill me?"

There was no response from the latter and this made wei ying get more panic.

Wei ying,"sir plea..."
Wei ying flinched when he heard the drivers angry voice.
Lan zhan,"don't you understand the meaning of be quite. I can see that you wish to die early."

Saying this Lan zhan turned around to the back seat and punched wei ying in his stomach.

Wei ying grabbed his stomach tightly. The punch was very strong. He bit his lower lip to stop himself from screaming. He felt difficult to breath. He never experienced this kind of pain.

Lan zhan then again concentrated on his driving.

He looked in the mirror to look at the boy and saw him unconscious.

Lan zhan, "what a weakling."
