Chapter 91: KidnappingTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At 6 pm in the evening, Wen Xinya reserved a table at the Ninth-Heaven and invited Cheng Ziyi, Qiu Yifan, and Yan Shaoqing to eat and celebrate Ou Yangfeng’s release. Grandpa had arranged for Zhang Bo to drive her there, but his back had acted up recently; thus, Wen Xinya chose to walk there herself.
However, Wen Xinya was quite lucky today. As soon as she walked out of the Mo Family household, she saw a taxi on the road right outside the household and frantically waved it down. The taxi stopped beside her.
Wen Xinya opened the door and entered the car, whose driver was an approximately 40-year-old man. He exuded a refined and clean disposition and was nothing like a taxi driver. Instead, he looked more like a scholar.
After country Z had successfully won the bid for the Olympic Games, the capital city started large changes in the service industry, and the quality of taxi services increased significantly. Therefore, she did not feel that it was strange at all.
“Hello lady, where are you headed?” The driver did not expect to get passengers in this area, so he was very surprised.
“To Ninth-Heaven!” Wen Xinya replied.
As the driver started the car and drove steadily, Wen Xinya noticed that his driving was as good as that of a private chauffeur, making her happily surprised.
“Uncle, why did you come here to find passengers?” asked Wen Xinya casually.
“That area is a private residential area, almost all households have cars, and usually no one would go there to get passengers. Today, I drove someone to that area, and when I was driving back, I coincidentally caught up to you,” the driver politely answered.
Wen Xinya nodded in acknowledgment.
The driver did not seem like a talkative person and focused on driving the car.
It was June, and though it was already in the evening, the weather was still hot and stuffy. Though the air-conditioning was turned on and it was quite comfortable, Wen Xinya still felt that it was quite stuffy and wanted to open the windows. However, she thought of how the driver had already turned on the air-conditioning and let it go.
Wen Xinya smelled a faint fragrance which made her feel sleepy and suddenly became more vigilant. She wanted to open the windows, but she soon realized that the windows were sealed shut.
She pretended to sneeze and put her hand in her bag. “Mister, the fragrance in the car is so nice, it seems as though it can calm down the senses. Could you tell me, where did you buy such a fragrant air freshener? These few days, I have been suffering from insomnia, and I hope that the fragrance can give me better sleep.”
The driver saw that Wen Xinya was becoming tired and his gaze became darker. “I don’t know as well, my daughter bought it for me and said that it smelled good, so the passengers in the car would like it too.”
Wen Xinya casually put her hand into the pocket and said in a pitiful tone, “That’s too bad, I really like this fragrance.”
The driver smiled but did not answer.
Wen Xinya knitted her brows and said, “Mister, could you turn off the air-conditioning? I feel a bit stuffy and want to open the windows.”
As she said that, her gaze turned to the driver.
The driver’s expression changed, and he looked out of the window. After a long time, he answered, “Just tolerate it for a while, Miss! The weather outside is really hot; the air-conditioning is much more comfortable.”
