Chapter 1: He descended like a deity
Late night.
The cold and fierce rain grew heavier, ravaging the entire city like a flood beast.
A black Toyota PREVIA van appeared on the deserted street, its dim and hazy headlights shining straight ahead, the swaying windshield wipers unable to hold back the torrential rain.
The vehicle moved slowly, not daring to speed up at all!
Suddenly, a bright yellow figure appeared in front of the headlights, standing out clearly in the misty night.
The tires screeched loudly against the pavement, the car abruptly stopping in front of the woman.
Ji Niandong stood with her arms open before the car, her bright yellow nylon raincoat thoroughly drenched, water droplets trickling down the brim of her hat, falling on her chest, wetting her long black hair, which lay tangled over the raincoat.
The car's headlights shone directly on her, stinging her eyes into a squint, yet she still easily looked past the front seats and saw the man in the back seat.
The woman in the passenger seat turned her head and said something, then pushed open the car door, walking toward her with an umbrella. The sharp high heels clicked against the puddles with a piercing sound.
