The Investors

Chapter 34

The car driven by Cia Yonggan and Xiao Meilin walked slowly cleaving the dirt road along the direction to the residence of Cia Yonggan. Outside the rain accompanied by strong winds began to fall. Occasionally lightning in the sky was flickering with thunder.

This was Xiao Meilin's first trip to the slopes of Mangdang Mountain, no wonder she was more focused on looking out the window. He could only enjoy the view of the farmland with plants in the thick of the night. The more here the less often found farmhouses along this road. And sometimes they also pass through small forests. The scenery here is really beautiful, making anyone will feel relaxed for a moment from the urban hustle and bustle.

While Cia Yonggan was getting closer to his residence, he felt a thump. It's the same feeling he came home from when he got the news of his parents' deaths five years ago. At that time he felt the same sensation as now. This made him nervous.

This uneasiness began to be felt shortly after this car passed by a car from the opposite direction. It was a crossover car. Although he could not see the person in the car, but at first glance everyone in Xiao Meilin's car could hear the sound of swearing and male gestures from inside the car. It seemed like the person in the car was venting his anger along this road. Even the driver can be said to be mentally impaired or being affected by alcohol because of driving at high speed on this slippery dirt road and almost grazed the SUV car that was boarded by Cia Yonggan.

"Is that guy crazy?" the man sitting beside the wheel asked anxiously while glancing at the rearview mirror to make sure the disputing car just now was fine.

"Ck ck.. That person was just like being chased by a demon," said the man who was driving the car while shaking his head.

For others in this car may look ordinary, but not with Cia Yonggan. To his knowledge, residents around here generally have a single or double cabin pick up truck type car, because it is easier for those who are farmers to transport their agricultural products.

"That driver must not be here" thought Cia Yonggan.

He felt something was wrong with the driver. His chest rippled like he had a bad feeling, but I don't know what.

Is Gao Mei Gui still waiting for his arrival, or is he already gone? In his heart, he hopes to be anxious and pray that the girl will be fine.

"Even if he's here, what's the need to rush like that?" thought again.

"Yonggan, is your residence still far away?" Xiao Meilin suddenly asked Cia Yonggan.

Cia Yonggan who was daydreaming was slightly jolted. Slowly he replied.

"Not far away, Cici. Usually if the weather is good, at most from here it is only about a quarter of an hour," Cia Yonggan tried to cover up his anxiety.

"Good," Xiao Meilin said. Then he connected. "Oh yes, Yonggan, I seem to like the atmosphere in this country. Will I be able to come back here again?"

"Ah, sure, Cici. You can come and go at any time" Cia Yonggan replied.

Then silence. Everyone in the car was busy with their thoughts. Only the sound of the music sounding slowly accompanied their journey.

Outside the rain is getting heavier. Lightning and lightning along with the wind also felt more intense than before. The trees in the small forest up ahead were seen swaying more and more violently due to the strong wind. Cia Yonggan's house is only located about 5 kilometers after passing through this small forest.

Just as they passed in this small forest, from the front of the car looks SUV type to run slowly. As their two cars clashed, suddenly from the sky came a fierce lightning bolt.

"Blar...!!!"

"Shelves..! The kaboooom..!!

The lightning struck a tree that caused the tree to fall down towards the road. A little late, then both cars will certainly ringsek overwritten the tree. Luckily the tree fell on the road just behind the two cars. It's just that the fallen tree hit the power cord which would cut off the electricity to the residence of Cia Yonggan.

The lightning also startled the four people in Xiao Meilin's car

"Almost!" the driver of Xiao Meilin exclaimed.

"Gerrily, a little late we must have hit," chimed in the man beside the driver.

"That car's okay, right?" connect the driver again while glancing at the rearview mirror.

While Cia Yonggan and Xiao Meilin just silently listened to the comments of the two Xiao Meilin aides. They just stared at each other for a moment.

Cia Yonggan of course worried about Xiao Meilin, usually a girl would feel excessive shock upon hearing the sound of lightning, let alone the lightning just now had struck a tree and almost hit them. But the worried Xiao Meilin looked calm.

What is unknown to Cia Yonggan, actually Xiao Meilin was half-dead shocked and had time to jump from her seat and had time to jump into the arms of Cia Yonggan who was beside her. But it was fortunate that his mind was well controlled so that he could control his body quickly. Otherwise, he would naturally humiliate himself in the presence of Cia Yonggan and his two subordinates. As a respected person, he must keep his authority and charisma in front of the crowd, especially in the eyes of subordinates.

Not long after, Cia Yonggan exclaimed. "That's my house already in sight, on the left."

"Ah, I saw it, sir," said the driver.

"It looks like the electricity here went out," the other man murmured when he saw that there was no lighting in Cia Yonggan's house at this time.

"Yes, dark. Maybe because the tree fell earlier, the electricity went out, "the driver chimed in.

Cia Yonggan felt even more pounding. If Gao Mei Gui was still waiting for him here, of course the girl was now in the middle of darkness alone. He felt sorry for his girlfriend.

As soon as the car stopped, without turning off the car engine, the two men in front with umbrellas in their hands each hurriedly opened the door for Cia Yonggan and Xiao Meilin. Cia Yonggan after getting out of the car, was immediately swept away by one of Xiao Meilin's subordinates.

Realizing that people would help him walk, Cia Yonggan gently brushed the man's hand away as he said. "No need, sir. I can do it myself.

"But, Mister. You.." the man kept trying to get Cia Yonggan.

Cia Yonggan then walked forward accompanied by the man who was paddling him. He saw his house was astonished, the pounding in his chest was getting tighter. His house is currently dark due to power outages, only illuminated by car lights. But the question mark, why is the door of his house not closed? Why did the door of the house just open? Did Gao Mei Gui forget to close the door and fall asleep.

"We have arrived. Cici, you wait here for a moment," exclaimed Cia Yonggan who was asserted by Xiao Meilin.

"You wait in the car. But still turn on the lights for lighting," Xiao Meilin said commanding his two subordinates.

"Well, miss," the two men replied almost simultaneously.

Cia Yonggan went inside the house. Inside the house is not as bright as the light outside, but enough for him to light his way in.

"May Gui," he called out softly.

Silent. No one answered.

Cia Yonggan continued in his footsteps and exclaimed. "May Gui, I'm home."

No one answered back.

Cia Yonggan was curious. Where's Gao Mei Gui? Why didn't he answer?

"May Gui!"

Continuing to drag a step, he opened the room door. The light in this room was not too dark, it was only faint. With the car lighting in front, it should be even darker in this room. Not so with this room. This room had enough dim light for him to know that there was no one in the room. He has gone. That girl is no longer here.

"Mei Gui, I'm sorry, I was wrong to leave you alone," he said slowly regretting himself and then closed the door again.

One thing that Cia Yonggan did not realize, once the door was closed, the light in the room felt brighter than when it opened. Now the light was gathered together in the room, no longer spreading out. The light came from the floor in the corner of the room. At least the light on the floor was two meters long and one meter wide.
