Chapter 205: Hide and Seek

"I never thought about skipping the order. After getting off the plane, I planned to take a risk and contact Jin Yan directly. As a result, that mysterious gold master got the news from somewhere and called me directly.

He said I had to go to Nanling for the transaction immediately and couldn't let anyone know. If I didn't go, the transaction would be canceled immediately.

Sigh, I was really blinded by these 20 million. I didn't even think about it and agreed, and immediately took a taxi to Nanling.

Now that I think about it, why would a normal person make an appointment to meet in that kind of place?

I rebooked a red-eye flight. It wasn't dawn yet when I took a taxi to Nanling.

I remember, the car stopped at the foot of Nanling Mountain. I was just about to pay, when the driver suddenly rushed toward me from the driver's seat, just like a tiger!" Su Jing said, opening her eyes wide, as if she saw the scene at that time again, terrified.

"It was a taxi driver? Are you sure?" Wu Shanqiu asked in surprise from the side.

"Of course I'm sure! Although it was pitch black at that time, I still saw his fierce eyes, as if he wanted to eat me!" Su Jing's voice was trembling. "I didn't even have a chance to struggle before I passed out."

"Ah, this driver, we even went to question him. Damn it, we actually brushed shoulders with him!" Wu Shanqiu said annoyedly.

"It's very normal," Zhong Kui said calmly. "His bloody performance in Nanling last time successfully set Nanling as a special 'anchor point' in your minds. When you investigated the news that Su Jing took a taxi to Nanling, Nanling became an anchor point with priority, suppressing other possible path thinking.

It will make you naturally ignore the possibility that the taxi driver also had the possibility of committing the crime."

"What a bastard!" Wu Shanqiu pouted angrily. "We almost searched the mountain carpet-style..."

"I actually didn't get off the car at all... let alone Nanling," Su Jing's weak voice came. "I was woken up by the talking sound of that bird. I remember it was cursing..."

Hearing this, Qi Fei and the others exchanged glances. It seemed Su Jing didn't remember that she had "become" a myna bird.

When she said this, Su Jing suddenly stopped. She frowned tightly, looking a little painful: "I was thrown on the ground, tied up tightly, and couldn't even crawl. The ground was full of bird droppings, so smelly that people wanted to vomit.

Then I saw a pair of feet, wearing those hiking shoes, walking toward me.

I thought it was this taxi driver who wanted to rob me. I endured the stench and told him that he could have as much money as he wanted.

But he didn't make a sound, as if he didn't hear me talking at all.

He squatted down and looked at me for a long time. I didn't know what he was looking at. That cold finger, just like that, slid across my face..." Su Jing gestured with her bandaged hand. "Just like that, slowly, as if I were his toy. I just wanted to call for help, and he suddenly spoke.

He spoke to me as if comforting a kitten, 'Shh... be good, listen to me...'" Su Jing imitated the other party's tone. Every word that came out of her throat was like a blade, bringing stinging pain and trembling. "That place was very dark. I could hear many strange calls around me. I thought I was in Nanling.

He seemed to take out a knife and gestured on my body.

He told me in that gentle tone not to make a sound, saying..." Speaking of this, Su Jing was already choking and couldn't make a sound, just sitting on the bed and shivering.

Qi Fei couldn't bear it and poured a glass of hot water, handing it to her hand.

Su Jing held the water cup with both hands, as if the temperature could give her some energy, allowing her to continue: "He said, his courage was very small. If I screamed and scared him, the knife in his hand wouldn't listen to him, and he was afraid of hurting me..." Speaking of this, Su Jing closed her eyes, and tears couldn't stop flowing down. That kind of bone-deep despair invaded her whole body again, making her unable to break free. "The tip of the knife was against my chest. I saw him lift it up, and it was about to stab down, but my brain was blank, thinking I was going to die.

As a result, that bird, still calling, calling him..."

"Calling him an idiot?" Wu Shanqiu was quick-witted and said directly what Su Jing didn't want to say.

"Ah, how did you know?" Su Jing opened her mouth in surprise and looked at Wu Shanqiu.

"Ha, because you were imitating this bird and talking when you were not clear-headed."

"Ah?" Su Jing was confused.

Qi Fei waved his hand: "This is not important. What then?"

Su Jing drank a sip of water and continued: "That bird saved my life.

This person was annoyed by that bird.

He cursed 'stupid bird,' left me, and rushed toward the cage where the bird was kept.

After a while, I heard him cursing again. It seemed he didn't catch the bird and let it escape.

When the bird escaped, it didn't forget to mock him, saying something like, 'You come over here, I'll kill you,' and so on."

Hearing this, Qi Fei couldn't help but laugh or cry. Xiao Hei learned these words from the previous victim, Chen Hao.

I didn't expect this bird to be quite good at applying what it learned.

Seeing that he couldn't catch the bird, he returned to me and asked: "Where are the things?"

It seemed he had already checked my luggage and knew they weren't inside.

I didn't dare to lie to him and told him they were in the inner pocket of my coat.

After he found them, just as he opened the lid of the box, the bird flew over from somewhere again, as if it wanted to grab the diamond from him.

Speaking of which, this bird is really strange, just like a human.

I didn't see clearly what happened. It seemed that this person caught the bird, and then the bird never called again. I knew that soon I would be the same as this bird.

I told him that the diamond could be given to him for free, just begging him to let me go.

He asked me if I wanted to play hide and seek.

At this moment, I finally realized that this person is a lunatic! No matter what I said to him, it was useless."

At this time, Zhong Kui leaned against the wall and said: "Hmph, of course, you had nothing to exchange with him. He just wanted to get fun from you."

"Fun?!" Su Jing only felt it was incredible. "I am a living person. He dragged me up, just like dragging a dog, and went in one direction.

Fortunately, when he searched my pockets, he also searched out that box of loose powder. At that time, I grabbed it while he was being harassed by that bird.

A woman's sixth sense told me that this trip was ominous.

I quietly opened the loose powder box and let the powder scatter out."

"Heh, such a careful person, he didn't even notice your little action," Zhong Kui laughed from the side. "It seems that the bird really greatly disturbed his mind." ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
