Chapter 534 - The Promise (2/2)

“Xiao Chen, you’re at least a boss now. Riding an e-bike is not that suitable with your current identity.” The aged guard held a cup in his hand. Even over the distance, Chen Ge could smell the alcohol.

“We’ll talk about that later. I haven’t even gotten my driver’s license. I swear the people at the driving school are prejudiced against me. They keep saying my driving style is too wild.”

“Then, why don’t you change? They’re only concerned about you—safety first.”

“It’s too late to change now. In the future, I’ll just hire a driver to ferry me around.” Chen Ge rode the e-bike out of New Century Park. After his exchange with the guard, he noticed a problem.

If I really do get the bus, I’m afraid I’ll only be able to ride it around the countryside; going to the city is still not that convenient. But I hear the number four subway is haunted, so perhaps I can go check it out in the future.

Riding the bike, Chen Ge rushed to the nearest stop for Route 104. He stood in the cold wind and waited for half an hour. There was no sign of the bus or the woman in the raincoat. “Does it need to be raining?”

Chen Ge did not give up; he followed the route and rode to Eastern Jiujiang. Chen Ge reached Eastern Jiujiang at 11 pm. He could feel the change in the air. There were suddenly no cars on the road.

“When I came last time, there was still the occasional taxi on the road. Is it because of me that even taxis don’t come here at night anymore?” Chen Ge shook his head. He felt like he was not that powerful; something else scary had probably happened in Jiujiang.

“Perhaps it’s not destined for me to meet them tonight. This is not my fault.” Chen Ge would stop at every bus stop. Initially, he had hoped that the bus would show up, but he slowly gave up hope as he neared Li Wan City. The condition of the road worsened. At 11:30 pm, Chen Ge felt a cold caress on the back of his neck. He reached out to touch it, and rain drop as soft as silk fell on his hand.

“It’s raining?” Chen Ge took out his phone and looked for the weather forecast. It said that it should not rain in Jiujiang for the few days.

“But rain is a good sign. The gathering of Yin energy means a higher chance of running into ghosts. The woman in the red raincoat might show up.”

Putting his phone away, Chen Ge looked around. Even though he had been to Eastern Jiujiang several times, he was still unfamiliar with the cityscape. The streetlights showered dim, yellow light. The light was barely powerful enough to banish the darkness.

“I’m still currently on the bus route for Route 104. Should I wait for it at the bus stop?”

The changes to his surroundings were similar to the description provided by Doctor Pei. Chen Ge had a feeling that the bus hearse might show up that night.

“Xiao Gu said that the woman’s child is on the bus. I only need to help her save her child and show it to her.”

Chen Ge had his own plan. He was only going to show the child to the woman in the red raincoat. He did not plan to return the child to her. He had only promised to help her find her child—whether he would return the child or how was he going to return the child, that was a completely different issue.
