Rex doesn’t expect that Lily would call. He doesn’t want to tell her about it, so he can only forcefully
suppress the panic in his chest and try to make his voice as calm as usual. “Nothing. I’m just a little
busy. I’m at the company right now.”
Lily frowns. She turns around and looks out of the window. Looking at the exotic streets outside, she
feels very uneasy. “Where’s Adair? I didn’t call him last night. You are at the company. Does that mean
he is being taken care of by Fanny at home?”
“Yes, he is very obedient. Don’t worry.” Rex is afraid that she will panic in England after knowing this
matter. He is already very busy now. If something happens to Lily in England, he will be crazy.
He can fix this, and let everything goes back to normal before she returns. He will explain what has
happened to her then. If she wants to punish him, he won’t say a word. But now, he is truly afraid that
she will panic and make some wrong decisions.
Lily is inexplicably uneasy, but Rex’s words calm her down a little bit. She can’t think of kidnapping, so
she can only say, “I will go back by air tomorrow, and I probably arrive in the early morning of the day
after tomorrow. Take good care of yourself and Adair.”
“Alright, don’t worry.” Rex doesn’t dare to say much to her, because he is afraid that he will expose his
emotions. He says hurriedly, “There is still a meeting. I gotta go.”
“Alright.”
The phone is hung up. The woman’s gentle voice disappears. The screen of his phone darkens again.
Rex leans his head against to the back of the car seat behind him and takes a deep breath. He closes
his eyes slightly and frowns. Finally, he opens his eyes again and regains calm.
The car starts again, and it’s like Lily has never called. The car is filled with oppressive atmosphere.
He drives to his destination at quite high speed. Just as Pehry says, it is a very ordinary restaurant. The
customers sitting outside the restaurant are men in their forties.
Rex’s expensive and luxurious dressing is incompatible with this restaurant. The restaurant is very
small, and he can see everything clearly from the entrance. Vivian is not here.
Rex has a bad feeling. He dials Vivian’s number and the phone is quickly picked up. “Where are you?”
“Have you arrived there?” Vivian asks.
Just as Rex is about to ask more, he suddenly hears the sound of air flow coming from her side. It is
like the air pouring through a crack in the window. He suddenly frowns, “You are not here?”
Vivian is in the taxi, and she smiles in smug satisfaction. “Rex, how can I let you find me so easily? I
want to make sure whether you’re here alone or not.”
“I’m here alone.” Rex says coldly, and he doesn’t have the patience to continue this game. “Where the
hell are you?”
At the same time, Vivian takes out a small receiver from her pocket. It is very small. She clicks it open
and the black-and-white scene at the entrance of the restaurant immediately appears on the screen.
Rex stands there with the phone in his hand, and there is no one else beside him.
Vivian is relieved then, knowing that he really doesn’t bring anyone else. She heaves a sigh of relief,
“I’ll send you the address after hanging up the phone.”
When Rex notices that she is about to hang up, he tentatively says, “Where’s Adair? I want to talk to
him.”
Vivian pauses. However, she quickly regains her senses. “I will let you see Adair when you come.”
“Adair is not with you?” He almost immediately concludes.
Vivian doesn’t know if he really knows or it’s just a trick. Her heart skips a beat. She doesn’t give him a
chance to continue speculating. Without saying a word, she turns off her phone.
Looking at the old-fashioned shutdown page, she feels that she can breathe again.
Looking up, she inadvertently meets a pair of suspicious eyes in the rear-view mirror of the car.
It’s the taxi driver.
Although the driver quickly stops looking right away, Vivian still finds the doubt and horror in the man’s
eyes.
He must hear the conversation between her and Rex. Although their talk doesn’t give out much
information, there is something strange that is detectable.
Vivian withdraws her gaze and says gloomily, “You’ve heard it, right.”
She is not asking, but stating a fact.
The car’s direction is obviously slightly off after her words. However, the car quickly goes back to the
right way. Before the driver could say something, she immediately says, “Take me safely to my
destination. It has nothing to do with you.”
She is clearly just a weak woman, and she even seems to be a little cowardly. However, when the male
driver in his forties faces Vivian, he is indescribably frightened by her. It is probably because of the
terrifying aura around her that is unusual from ordinary people.
The driver hurriedly nods, “I don’t know anything. Don’t worry, I will definitely drive you there!”
This is Vivian’s first time to taste the pleasure of being a bad woman. She snorts and doesn’t say
anything else.
When Vivian gets on the taxi at first, the taxi driver is secretly happy that he gets a big job, but now he
feels a chill behind him. He unconsciously accelerates the taxi and wishes he can drive her to her
destination as soon as possible.
The number on the taximeter rises, but the driver is not happy at all.
Finally, they arrive at the destination. There’s a lot of sweat on the car’s chairs and the driver’s clothes.
The driver flips over the empty car’s license plate and says, “Here we are.”
Vivian looks up. The destination is a new commercial street under City J. The investment promotion is
not completed. Only a few stores are in decoration, with workers covered with dirt beside.
“How much?” Vivian takes out her wallet from her pocket.
The taxi driver doesn’t want to earn more money and be involved. He doesn’t tell the amount of money
on the meter, but say a number which is about the price of the petrol. “Give me 200.”
Vivian does not argue with him. She does not care about money anymore. She gives him the money
showed the meter and even gives him more. “Take your money and do your work well. The rest has
nothing to do with you, you know?”
It is the first time the driver sees such a terrifying woman. He takes the money and nods repeatedly,
“Don’t worry, I’m just a commoner!”
Vivian does not say anything. She glances at him and gets off the car, then walks towards the street.
The driver immediately turns around and drives away. He breaks out in cold sweat on his back. The
speed of the car is not very fast. Only after he drives into the main road does he feel completely at
ease. However, the more he ponders, the more uneasy he becomes. He always feels that the money
he earns from this trip is really scary.
Obviously, that woman is not a good woman. She might even be committing a crime. If he doesn’t do
anything now, he will be half an accomplice.
The driver can’t endure the psychological torture after thinking about it. He stops the blue taxi at the
roadside. In the end, he called the police. “Hello, I want to report something …”
After the police receive the report, Pehry also verifies the location at the same time. All kinds of
information match. In addition to the new address which is sent by Rex just now, it must be Vivian.
This kind of place which is not remote and crowded is the most difficult to check.
He immediately sends someone over and orders, “Follow Rex’s location. You must hurry up!”
