Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1346 - 1248: A Step Too Late

In the midst of the fierce clash, Lin Yuqing had already boarded a private car headed to Changshi. freewёbnoνel.com

"Miss Second, does your father know about this?"

The driver was a burly middle-aged man dressed in a black suit, wearing a pair of glasses without lenses purely for decoration, giving the impression of a cultured person.

"No, this happened all of a sudden, I haven’t had the chance to tell him yet, but with you, Uncle Kang, following, my dad would feel reassured."

Lin Yuqing sat in the back seat, feeling very anxious. "Uncle Kang, can you drive a little faster? It will be troublesome if we are late!"

"What’s the matter? What could make you so anxious? Just tell me about it."

Upon hearing what Lin Yuqing had said, the middle-aged man’s interest piqued, and he gradually increased the car’s speed, waiting for her to continue.

"Well ... I’ll tell you, but you must not let it out."

After calming her emotions, Lin Yuqing began to explain what her elder sister had taught her, emphasizing the relationship between Su Ran and Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, hinting that through Su Ran, the chances of getting the Dream Mirror might be higher.

Of course, Uncle Kang was aware that her father needed the Dream Mirror.

"Oh, it’s for your father, huh? Having such filial piety is really commendable."

Uncle Kang nodded approvingly, but then his tone shifted, expressing doubt, "Then we really don’t need to rush so much, do we? Driving at night in particular has a high risk factor!"

"Ah? This, this..."

Lin Yuqing stammered, not being someone adept at lying. Caught off guard by Uncle Kang’s remark, she didn’t know how to respond.

"Miss Second, I have watched you grow up, how could I not know what you are thinking?"

Uncle Kang chuckled, "I’ve been young too and have been through your age. Just talk to me about it, I might be able to offer some advice."

"Well ... alright, Uncle Kang, I lied to you. I actually want to see Su Ran this time."

"Miss Second, your and the Su family boy’s matter has your parents’ approval; you don’t need to keep it underground. You can talk about it openly and honestly..."

"Uncle Kang! I’m only a high school senior, it’s still too early for that!"

Lin Yuqing’s face turned red hot, unable to listen any further, and she quickly interrupted Uncle Kang.

"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about; at your age in ancient times, you would already be married with children!"

Uncle Kang exclaimed, "You were born in a good era!"

"Uncle Kang, how did you date back then? Tell me about it."

Hearing that Uncle Kang’s words had a story behind them, Lin Yuqing’s gossip nature flared up, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"Miss Second, I’m almost forty years old now, don’t tease me. Just tell me, why are you in such a hurry to see him? Couldn’t you wait to return after the 15th of the first lunar month? Moreover, if you two have something to talk about, you can solve it through your phones."

Uncle Kang expressed his doubts, feeling he wouldn’t be at ease until these questions were addressed.

"Ah, it’s about that game."

Lin Yuqing’s gaze turned towards the window, looking at the brightly lit nightlife and the hurrying crowds outside, none of which attracted her. Her heart was only filled with thoughts of that man, and after a pause, she continued, "His territory, Spillway Water, is being attacked, and I can’t get through to his phone. I’m a bit worried."

There was something else she didn’t tell Uncle Kang; she was concerned whether Su Ran encountering trouble after getting the Dream Mirror ...

Her inner unease kept her from calming down, making her wonder why she had become like this.

"His territory? Oh, right, the one in Dark Swamp on that mountain, right? I remember now, you once told me about it."

Uncle Kang shook his head with a slight chuckle, "But to go to another province just for this minor issue? Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

"Miss, it’s not my place to say, but you could have just talked to your dad and have him send troops to help guard the territory."

"But... I always feel like something bad is going to happen. I can’t rest easy until I see him with my own eyes!"

"Cough, cough, cough."

After hearing this, Uncle Kang almost laughed out loud. He quickly suppressed his laughter with a cough. "Ah, love is indeed a wonderful thing. Alright, I’ll join you in your madness. Grab the handrail, we’re taking off!"

"Whoosh!"

A black phantom zipped along the highway, so fast that the scenery outside the window blurred into a single line.

"Miss, we’ve safely arrived in Changshi, it took three hours and forty minutes. How about that, satisfied?"

Returning to Changshi in such a short time gave Uncle Kang a great sense of achievement. "It seems I’m still sharp. Haha!"

"Uncle Kang, let’s hurry to the Su Family’s home, it will be inappropriate if we go any later."

Lin Yuqing’s gaze drifted into the distance; her heart was already far away.

"Don’t worry, we’re almost there!"

Uncle Kang was very familiar with Changshi, taking routes with less traffic to maintain speed towards Su Ran’s residence.

"Eh?"

Just as Uncle Kang was about to reach the destination, an ambulance with flashing lights roared past, heading in the opposite direction.

The appearance of the ambulance not only changed Lin Yuqing’s complexion, but Uncle Kang also felt a twinge in his heart. Without further ado, he floored the gas pedal, speeding up once again. Within a few minutes, a piercing sound of brakes announced their arrival at Su Ran’s doorstep.

As expected.

The entire house was engulfed in darkness, void of any sign of life.

"He might have fallen asleep. I’ll go and call him."

Lin Yuqing’s heart was in complete turmoil. She couldn’t believe this was happening. Her voice trembled as she spoke, trying to open the car door, but she couldn’t.

"Miss, there’s no use in you going. If the door is locked, you can’t get in. I’ll have a look."

Uncle Kang got out of the car and glanced at the firmly locked door. He politely knocked on the door.

However.

All he was met with was silence. There was not a single light inside; it was frighteningly dark.

After a moment of contemplation, Uncle Kang turned back to the car, spun it around, and accelerated forward, the car racing like uncontrollable wild horses.

"Uncle Kang, did you find something?"

At that moment, Lin Yuqing was clutching her phone, endlessly redialing a familiar number on the screen, hoping for a miracle that the call would be answered.

"The ambulance just now left from here. Let’s go to the hospital!"

Uncle Kang spoke with a grave expression. Just now, with the aid of the lights, he had seen disordered footprints and tire tracks left by the ambulance. Given the length of an ambulance and the width of the road, turning around required extra steering. From this, it was not difficult to guess that Su Ran might very well be on that ambulance!

"No, it can’t be!"

Lin Yuqing cried out helplessly, not even realizing her phone had fallen as tears streamed down her face. "Uncle Kang, Su Ran was fine, why would he go to the hospital? We were in touch today, sob, sob, sob..."
