657 ... I was extremely scared at the time

Elsewhere.

A truck laden with goods, en route to Sea City, crawled along.

Onboard, a strikingly handsome young man who had been in a deep sleep suddenly awoke with a start.

The man in the driver's seat was taken aback, glanced at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yingzhou snapped back to reality, pinching his brow as if trying to shake off a persistent dull ache at the back of his mind.

"How much longer until we get there?!" he retorted.

For some reason, he felt a vague unease.

The man replied, "We'll get there tomorrow morning."

Gu Yingzhou's heartbeat quickened as he peered out at the green blur speeding past, a surge of something welling up in his eyes.

"Drive faster!" he ordered.

The man gave a wry smile. "…We're already going fast. The Ruan grandparents are fine for now, don't worry."

They had been on the road for a whole week now, and he was nearly sick of it.

Gu Yingzhou didn't mention the inexplicable unease gnawing at him.
