As she left the cake shop, a black sedan drove by with the window half open, revealing a man's handsome face as it passed.
Vanessa Aria felt her entire body go cold and dropped her cake on the ground, hastily scrambling into a taxi.
"Drive, go quickly."
The driver, who was watching videos, jumped, "What's wrong?"
Vanessa Aria felt her forehead pound as she demanded, "Drive now."
The driver started the car, while he heard the woman growl from the back, "Turn around."
Her voice was laced with immeasurable panic and anxiety, as if she had seen something terrifying.
The taxi driver was about to turn around when she suddenly commanded, "No, follow the black car in front. Keep up with it."
The driver's eyes widened, "But that's a special licence plate...".
Before he could finish, a wad of Chinese Yuan bills were thrown at him, scattering like blossoms from the sky.
The driver immediately perked up; foot on the pedal, he said, "Hold tight."
