On the way, the driver was a bit hesitant, worried Yun Ran might not know what that place was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some consideration, he said: \"Little girl, why are you taking your little brother to that abandoned area? That place is not good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, a big company took a fancy to those abandoned buildings, thinking about buying them cheap and continuing construction. But as soon as they started, something happened...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If some timid person listened to the driver’s eerie story, they’d definitely be scared and choose not to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yun Ran wasn’t afraid. Forget eerie abandoned buildings, she’d go alone even to the remnants of a mass burial ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran’s voice turned soft and sweet as she said, \"Oh, I’m going there to find someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver, seeing she insisted even after he explained everything, figured he couldn’t dissuade her further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the road became more isolated and there were no other vehicles, Yun Ran didn’t get scared, but the driver did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was broad daylight, the desolate area seemed like a giant green gauze tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts of news stories about taxi drivers being lured to secluded places by passengers and being killed kept popping into the driver’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was because of those news stories or not, the driver increasingly suspected he might have encountered bait from a criminal gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat appeared inexplicably on his body, and his hands started to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes frequently glanced at Yun Ran and the Ginsengfruit in the rearview mirror, seemingly trying to find evidence that they weren’t bad people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling him scrutinizing them, Yun Ran seemed speechless, directly meeting the driver’s eyes through the rearview mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, you’re very safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would’ve been fine if Yun Ran hadn’t said this, but once she did, the driver’s legs felt weak, and his breathing became even more labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an abrupt brake, the driver stopped the car, turned around to look at Yun Ran and the Ginsengfruit, sweat covering his forehead, his face pale as a sheet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice trembled as he said, \"I... I have an eighty-year-old mother and a... a three-year-old child... please... please don’t harm me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with shaking hands, he took out his mobile phone and all the cash on him: \"This... is all the money I have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginsengfruit: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a young girl and a small kid, their group seemed like a weakling, yet how did they manage to scare a burly driver like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ginsengfruit also worried about scaring the driver to death, so instead of speaking, it complained to Yun Ran through the system: [Host, isn’t this more of an injustice than Dou’e?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran looked around at the vast, empty surroundings. There wasn’t even a shadow of a person, let alone a car. It was normal for timid people to be influenced by the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking about it, she took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket and placed it in the trembling driver’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re easily spooked by special environments due to your light horoscope. This peace charm can calm you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was on the verge of tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this mean they weren’t satisfied with the money he’d given?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were they hinting that if he didn’t give enough money, he wouldn’t be safe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran saw the driver’s expression and knew he was overthinking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A kind soul with a timid nature was lucky to have met her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry and keep it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver shuddered and immediately clutched the peace charm tightly, soon realizing that the cold sweat he’d been sweating was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange fear he felt inside was also gradually dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he calmed down, Ginsengfruit rolled its eyes: \"With such a small courage, why are you driving a cab...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calm heart, steady hands, and legs that no longer felt weak, the driver finally confirmed they weren’t bad people and smiled awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the charm in his hand, he intuitively knew that it was something good, even without the little girl’s confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now was entirely his misunderstanding, scaring himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, um...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, just drive. On your way back, if you get scared, I suggest you call the police and have them pick you up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driver: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now wanted to cover his face in embarrassment, thinking, Gosh, he was over forty and has lost all his dignity!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite a bit of delay on the road, overall, it didn’t have too much of an impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to reach their destination, a lot of sirens and the sound of helicopters approached from a distance behind the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran reflexively looked back, holy cow, the formation resembled chasing a notorious criminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the peace charm’s protection, the driver was no longer easily scared, calmly parking the car by the roadside to make way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon those siren-blaring cars zoomed past theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ginsengfruit wanted to open the window to take a look outside, but the surrounding dust made it drop the idea instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Host, those cars seem like they’re from the Special Administration Bureau. Could they be from there?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helicopters flew over their heads. Yun Ran glanced and nodded affirmatively: [They are from the Special Administration Bureau!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so many people from the Special Administration Bureau acted simultaneously and they were heading in her direction, Yun Ran quickly realized that someone had tipped them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Driver, please turn around; we’re heading back to the city!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was relieved that he no longer felt afraid and was nearly at their destination, but now he had to turn back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, the paying customer is always right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll turn around now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ginsengfruit looked at Yun Ran, a bit confused: [Host, we’ve already waited several hours at the Luo Family, consumed enough Evil Energy, and finally pinpointed this location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now we’re just giving the credit to someone else so easily? How do we explain this to the Luo Family later?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran remained calm: [I don’t have any relationship with the Special Administration Bureau in the Capital City, plus I’ve been marked as part of Xie Xuzhi’s faction and got expelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think if I show up here, won’t the people from the Special Administration Bureau make trouble for me? I’m here to earn some extra income, not to wage war with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if they’ve found this place, some people must’ve deliberately reported it to disrupt my rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To sum up, the person at the destination must be a decoy, and a dead decoy at that, so there’s no value in capturing them.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1163,"2026-06-06T11:48:49.457Z",1,"novelbin.me","0900a1c5c80d304fdc5eae520f01dd3c2f051676a4294b2cd6157d6b64f4458a","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-437","cannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-chapter-435",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcannon-fodder-heiress-turns-the-tables-by-fortun-cover.jpg"]
