Chapter 73: Act IX: The Secret That Cannot be Told (7)

Due to the weather, all flights to Huacheng were delayed.

Xiang Cai's plane hovered in the sky for a long time before it riskily landed at Huacheng Airport.

Xiang Cai came out in a hurry, with only a small suitcase. He rushed out of the pick-up lane, and the driver of a black car immediately came over to stop the passengers. He claimed to be a regular Didi driver, but his price was two or three times higher than taxi fares.

"Young man, let's go!" The driver of the black car graciously went to grab Xiang Cai's bag for him. He was tall and big, with a stern face. A string of wooden beads hung around his neck, and a small bracelet made of walnut encircled his wrist. He seemed enthusiastic, but had a faintly strong buying and selling stance. "This price really isn't asking much. If you don't believe me, go and ask. Now you'll have to queue at least an hour for a taxi. I can see that you have something urgent, so get in my car!"

With that, the driver of the black car dragged Xiang Cai to the parking lot.

At that moment, a male voice rang behind them.

"Brother, you can work, but you can't justify intercepting another person's guest, right?" As he said this, the man's hand pressed over, and he directly retrieved Xiang Cai's suitcase from the black car's driver.

"You..." The driver of the black car looked back and saw that the man behind him was tall and straight, and he didn't look like his 'fellow comrade'.

The airport was a very special place, and the driver of the black car was familiar with others whose jobs were to pick up passengers. However, this one in front of him was indeed a new face.

The driver of the black car asked suspiciously, "...Do you run a Didi?"

"No." The man smiled, "I am a Huolala."

Black car's driver: "???"

The man turned his head aside to the silent Xiang Cai: "This is my old customer."

Xiang Cai: "..."

Man: "Right, old customer?"

Xiang Cai: "Yes." He said helplessly, "Thank you, you've worked hard in coming to pick me up."

Tan Yiming laughed, and with one hand on Xiang Cai's shoulder and the other holding his suitcase, he led him away from the driver of the black car's sight.

Tan Yiming's car was parked in the underground garage. Xiang Cai's plane had been delayed for over three hours, so Tan Yiming waited for over three hours in the airport reception hall.

He knew that Xiang Cai was going to be on stage in a while, and fearing that he would not have time to eat, ran to the nearby convenience store and bought two sandwiches and a bottle of coffee. He didn't think that after only a few minutes, Xiang Cai would almost be robbed by another driver.

Tan Yiming asked triumphantly: "Have I saved the princess from the evil dragon?"

Xiang Cai asked: "If I am the princess, then what are you?"

Tan Yiming felt that this question was fraudulent, but couldn't figure out where the pit was. He could only follow along and say, "Uh...I am a prince or a knight?"

Xiang Cai turned out a red hat from who-knows-where, and then put it on Tan Yiming's head: "I think you are a Super Mario."

The car started and drove out of the airport, slowly following the flow of traffic.

It was still raining outside the window, and the windshield wipers swayed from side to side. They had just wiped it clean, but soon, they were blurred by the rain.
