While the young woman was scolding the old man, the phone in her hand started to ring, she picked it up with a swipe of her finger and then answered the call, " Yes, I understand! Don't worry I already have the money in my hands, don't worry I will pay the hospital bills for my mother. Please don't cut my mother off her medicine, I am heading towards the hospital as soon as I collect the money from my house, just give me an hour …" then she looked around the desolate surrounding with only a few cars and then added, " Two hours please, there is no cab around me at the moment."
" Yes, Yes..thank you very much." The young woman replied to whoever was on the other side of the phone call before she bowed slightly like the person was standing in front of her. Once the call was finished, she swept her hand through her hair and cursed, " Damn that old man, he always likes to bully me. Like I don't know that he is doing this because I stopped him from harassing me!"
As she spoke, her gaze turned towards Song Yan who was standing next to her and then she immediately shut herself off before turning to look in front after shooting an awkward smile to Song Yan but Song Yan whose senses were better than others, heard the woman cursing herself for not looking around first and making a joke out of herself.
While the young woman was still swearing, a cab came to stop in front of Song Yan instead of her. The driver must have seen the quality of clothes that Song Yan was wearing and was hoping to earn some extra money, as soon as the cab was rolled down, the driver turned to look at Song Yan who was standing in front of the driver's window and said, " Where to miss? I am heading towards the town closer to this location but if you ask then I can drive even further. I am the last driver who will be coming here now, after this, another cab will hardly come by."
Even though the man was trying to earn some extra money, he was not lying when he said that no cab will drive by any sooner. He drove past this street every night and knew about the timings of this place better than others.
Song Yan too knew that the man was speaking the truth, after all, she has been waiting for such a long time and this cab only arrived now. If she was to let this cab go then who knows when the next one will come? And it was not like she did not have extra money to give this driver a tip.
" All right I am heading to the city, bring me there and I will add a small tip." Song Yan knew that the man was looking for some benefit and she was not stingy with him, at least the man was working honestly at this hour of the night.
As expected, the driver's eyes lit up when he heard that there will be a tip involved which was why he immediately opened the door of his cab, if not for him overstepping himself, he would have gone ahead and opened the door like a personal driver for Song Yan.
" Excuse me," as Song Yan was stepping inside the cab, she heard the young woman speak up. She raised her head and looked at the young woman who stands next to her and waited for the woman to speak as the woman was acting all hesitant and shy. " If you don't mind, can you share the ride with me? I will add a tip as well." She understood that the driver was looking for extra earning which was why he stopped in front of the rich-looking woman.
Song Yan did not say anything, seeing this the young woman thought that she was not going to agree and was going to suggest doubling the tip such that the driver will agree, but before she could do that she heard the rich woman speak, " All right."
At first, she thought that she misheard but then she saw Song Yan step inside the cab and leaving space for her to sit down. When the young woman saw that she was willing to share the cab, she heaved a sigh of relief and immediately slid inside the cab worried that Song Yan would get annoyed by her.
Once the young woman sat down, the driver closed the door and then drove away. For a while, nothing happened and the driver drove the cab smoothly but then suddenly a gang of bikers popped out of nowhere and because of this the driver of the car swayed the cab to save his passengers and himself.
And yet when the biker gang passed by they cursed at the man who was driving the cab.
" Sorry, I am sorry about this.." the driver apologised to Song Yan who was crushed by the young woman who fell on her because the car was swayed out of nowhere. He was afraid that Song Yan will blame him and take his tip away which was why he hurriedly said, " This gang always drives here and because of this they always cause accidents like this."
"It's all right," Song Yan said while her gaze was locked on the driver's mirror as several images flashed in the mirror.
She saw the young woman entering her apartment which was located in a small and dingy building, she seemed to frown as soon as she opened the apartment before turning the light on of her apartment and closing the room's door behind her.
She entered her bedroom and then walked over to the wardrobe where she started to take her pieces of jewellery off and then opened the secret cabinet that she has built in her cabinet to save her money. But as soon as she opened the cabinet a man who was hiding under her bed crawled out and then walked over to her with an inch-long knife in his hand and then ——
The knife was brought down by the man and then the young woman was stabbed in the back ruthlessly to the point where the knife was completely dug into her skin. The young woman's eyes widened in surprise as soon as she was stabbed but before she could scream, the masked man covered her mouth and stabbed her again after pulling the knife out.
The floor was dyed red and then the image once again shifted and then she saw a bunch of policemen bringing a corpse that was rotten to the point where it no longer resembled the young woman who was sitting next to her.
