Espera, Reba, and tabe j


    back of the ca


    jade gave Calvert the address the uncle''s house, which was located in a ce called denfield vige. The GPS showed it would take an hour and 23 mo


    Calvert muttered under his breath, "I shouldn''t take this long for such a short distance."


    Hearing hisment, Vespera winced. "Calven, drive carefully. No speeding?"


    Calvert replied, "Vespera,st time you wanted me to drive faster, and now you want me to slow down. You''re so predictable."


    Vespasighed. "You too tat, no one will be able to handle it."


    At that moment, Reba chimed in, "Oh, no, no. I''m perfectly fine with speed. It''s the slow and steady driving that''s annoying."


    Vespera and Calvern exchanged a nce. "You''d better be talking about driving.


    Reba blinked innocents, a sweet smile on her face. "Yeah, of course, I''m talking about driving"


    Reluctantly, Calvent took Vespera''s "strong suggestion" imo ount and started driving more steadily.


    Along the way, Vespera sent a message to Felicia, asking her to find out if ire had any old properties in the countryside around Ashford, or if any of her rtives had vacant houses in the countvide.


    At that moment, Felicia was loving afternoon tea with her friends


    When she saw the message, ber excitement made her grip her phone tightly. She thought, "Could it be could the boy''s body be hidden there?"


    The thought of finally getting rid of Tina filled her with anticipation. She immediately replied, "I''ll find out right away.


    Seeing bow Felicia was now avoiding Tina like the gue, she couldn''t help but think of how Feliciased to treat Tina like a treasure. Everyone had to pay for their


    She certainly had, and now it was Felice''s tum


    Meanwhile, Reba took off her headphones and leaned over to Vespera, whispering in herear, "They''reing."


    Vespera''s eyes beghtened she thought. "That''s great."


    However, after everything had gone so smoothly, she couldn''t shake off a feeling of unease after the initial excitement.


    Ambourter, the car had been driving along the country roads for half an hour.


    It was summer, and the fields were fresh and vibrant under the sun, almost as if they were covered in a filter. If it weren''t for the purpose of their trip, it would have been prespot to rx.


    But Vespera and Reba were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery.


    Once the car med to the country road, they kept their eyes trained on the utside, observing closely. Now they understood why Jade was so certain it was the countryside.


    Along the way, they passed severall ponds sounded by fruit trees in some areas of the lds,


    thend wasn''t entirely t.


    The term rose slightly in ces, creating small mounds, and scattered small houses appeared here and there. Some were by the pond, others in the fields. Though they weren''t sure what these small houses were used for, they recorded the scenes Tim had described.


    Jade had mentioned that the incident happened right after the final exams, just before summer vacation-timing that matched perfectly with the current season Before they arrived, they had thought it would be a unique scene, making it harder to find. However, now it seemed to be an everyday sight in these rural areas, making the search even harder.


    I fell like trying to find a unique tree in a forest or spotting a tree that looked the same as the others. The task suddenly seemed much harder than expected. After another 20 minutes of driving, they spotted a road sign with the name "Greenfield Vige" written on it


    "Tumnight ahead and go straight. The carcan only be parked in the open area ahead. The roads in the vige are too grow for the car to get through," Jade exined


    Following her directions, Calvert parked the car in the open area


    As they got out, Vespera noticed there luy car parked at a distance. All of them were worth over a hundred thousand dors. The people here in the vige seemed quite wealthy-


    de led them into the vige. Theyout was clear-divided into the north and south


    sides by a river, with stone bridges at intervals.


    The bridges were now, showing signs of age


    Jade guided them along the northem bark of the river.


    As they passed a house, arge wolf-dog suddenly charged out, barling furiously at them.
