Volume 1 Chapter 2.3

"夭寿6 oh! Where did the cat come from ah?" Suddenly stepping on the brakes while still in shock, the driver hurriedly took off his safety belt and went to check the front and back of the taxi.

Due to the sudden brake causing him to hit his head against the gla.s.s window, Yu Yin suffered from momentary dizziness. By the time he steadied himself, the taxi driver was already outside the taxi, pacing to and fro the front and back of the taxi while murmuring: "That’s strange, there was a cat that rushed under the car just now, why isn’t it there...?"

Yu Yin shook his head, it took a while before he cleared his head.

In the back seat of the car, Yu was also woken up by the sudden brake. Climbing up to a sitting position with a sleepy face, he had a look of confusion. New novel chapters are published on

"Now reporting another news, at three a.m. this morning at T city, a headless woman’s corpse was found. According to the preliminary investigations..." The radio station reporting the night time news live, gave off a static sound as the news was reported, causing the words to sound m.u.f.fled.

Turning his head around, Yu Yin looked at the one who was woken up by the sudden disturbance: "Nothing’s wrong, you can go back to sleep."

Instead of going back to sleep, Yu stared at Yu Yin before looking out of the car.

"There’s nothing at all! This is absurd!" After spending a few moments checking the taxi from outside, the taxi driver opened the door to the driver’s seat and sat back in. Not knowing when, the news finished reporting and another song was being played.

"You knocked down a cat?" Yu Yin looked at the taxi driver as he raised his question.

Just as he turned back to look in front, the taxi went to a sudden stop, causing him to miss out everything.

"Yeah, a big cat suddenly rushed under the car, but there is nothing under the wheels. It probably escaped, lucky cat." The taxi driver said as he tried to start up the taxi again.

A big cat?

Yu Yin frowned, sensing that something is not right.

Starting the engine a few times, the taxi still did not start up, if not, the engine would rev for a few times before extinguishing.

"d.a.m.n! I can’t be this unlucky, the taxi broke down!" the taxi driver let out a string of curses before getting off the taxi to open up the car hood. Rings of white smoke came out from the hood. After a quick check, the taxi driver came up to Yu Yin: "Boy oh, sorry la, the taxi seems to have broken down. I will call another taxi to come and bring you two home. Very sorry eh." The taxi driver apologized while bowing.

"It’s alright, then we will trouble you, uncle." Yu Yin did not mind, it just meant that they would return home a little later.

The taxi driver immediately took out his phone and dialed a number: "The taxi company said that they would send another taxi down. It might take a while."

Yu Yin nodded his head then got off the taxi, climbing into the back seat.

Just as they were about to continue eating, another car drove up beside them.

"Boy oh, the taxi is here" the taxi driver who was checking the engine, called out to Yu Yin.

"Alright." Yu Yin quickly packed up the food and got off the car. Holding the drink in his hands, Yu got off the car after him.

In front of them was another taxi. The driver was a lot younger, with a hair dyed golden blond and a cigarette in his mouth, looking like a hooligan.

"Old Lin, your taxi broke down?" the young driver rolled down the taxi window and greeted the other taxi driver: "Do you want me to give you a lift back to the taxi company? Just call someone to come fix the taxi in the morning, it is still dark now, it is not easy to fix the taxi la."

"Ok la, you send this two boys back home first then come back and pick me up." The taxi driver put on a pair of gloves as he began to check the underside of the taxi.

"Oh, you be careful ah." The young taxi driver opened the back doors and nodded towards Yu Yin and Yu: "Boy ah, get in oh."

Yu Yin immediately got into the car. The car was filled with a strong scent of perfume, making him uncomfortable. "Please bring us to Taichung garden villa"

"Ok, sit properly oh."

The young taxi driver expertly steered the taxi down the road.

Subconsciously, Yu Yin turned his head back to look at the other taxi driver.

In that instance, his eyes widened.

He saw that leopard cat sitting next to the opened car hood, an eerie mewling entered his ears.

Air seemed to have frozen.

In the next second, the driver who was checking the underside of the taxi let out a pitiful cry, a sudden puff of white smoke enveloped his upper body.

"Stop the car!"

The screeching sound of the car brakes tore through the silent night for the second time.

6:"夭寿" (yao shou) is from Hokkien; it is read as yǎo xǐu in Hokkien. The original meaning of "夭寿" refers to "die young", and it is generally used to describe a person’s vicious behaviors in the spoken Hokkien. Now it is often used as a modal particle, indicating dissatisfaction, surprise or regret. (Taken from: /hot-words/yao-shou.html)
