The boys from the archaeology department didn't believe Aurora Sinclair's story, so they secretly sent Seth Sterling and Danny Archer to tail her.
Classes got out late, so Aurora Sinclair went home first to cook dinner for her juniors, and then got into the black sedan that came to pick her up.
About ten minutes into the drive, Abel Lockwood suddenly spoke up. "Miss Sinclair, there's a taxi that's been following us. I'll need to take a detour to shake them."
A short while later, the taxi driver glanced helplessly at his rearview mirror. "Kids, they spotted us. They've already shaken us off. Where do you want to go now?"
Seth Sterling glanced at the fare on the meter—over 300 yuan—and his heart bled. 'This is costing way too much.'
As they got out of the car, the driver even offered a word of encouragement. "Don't lose heart, fellas! Where there's a will, there's a way."
"Please, sir, don't say another word. I'm in so much pain..."
