Chapter 51 Scarlet Hill

As soon as the trio stepped out of the building, Luo Xiaolei immediately waved for a taxi.

"Miss, where are we going?" the driver asked.

"Scarlet Hill." She immediately replied but for some reason, the driver seemed to be surprised.

"Is there something wrong?"

"N-nothing. Please put on your seatbelts."

Seeing his seemingly unusual reaction, Luo Xiaolei's brows knotted a bit. Before Yu Chen left her in the Luo residence, he had told her that his address was called Scarlet Hill. Luo Xiaolei was a bit mystified because even though she felt like she had heard about such a place before, she couldn't remember where and what kind of place it was. She also didn't ask him at that time since she thought she would just call him once she decided to finally move in. But now, she had turned off her phone because of her grandmother and this driver's reaction also made her feel a bit suspicious. Sigh… Devil, must your address be mystifying as well? Never mind, I'll just call him when we get there.

By the time the car finally halted, Luo Xiaolei looked at the driver with questions in her eyes. The car stopped in front of a huge gate just a few meters from the highway.

"Miss, this is the place." The driver said and Luo Xiaolei blinked. She looked past the huge gate but she could only see an empty road winding up the hill.

"Err… are you sure this is Scarlet Hill?" Luo Xiaolei then asked and the driver nodded.

"Yes Miss. This hill is called by the locals as the lungs of Central City but the real name of this hill, if you look at the map, is Scarlet Hill."

Hearing the driver's explanation, Luo Xiaolei finally realized why the name sounded familiar. When she was young, she heard about this place at school but as time went by, this place was now more famously called as the 'Lungs of Central City'. The reason was because this hill was a thick forest located in the middle of a huge city but truth be told, the actual reason why the name 'Scarlet Hill' seemed to be forgotten was because the entire hill had never been opened to the public. Rumors had it that the entire hill was owned by an anonymous person and the public didn't even know if someone was living up there. The hill was also surrounded by tall walls making it one of the most mysterious places in the city.

Luo Xiaolei and the twins could only step out of the car since the driver politely refused to enter even if someone was to open the huge gate for them. It seemed like this place was also surrounded with all sort of nasty rumors for people to refuse like this.

"Mommy, are we moving here?" Shen Rui asked while they stood by the towering gate.

"Hmm… wait a moment." Luo Xiaolei quickly brought out her phone but before she could turn it on, they saw a car approaching from the other side of the gate. The car then halted and a man with glasses stepped out. Luo Xiaolei immediately recognized him. He was one of the men in black who was always with Yu Chen.

When the gate opened, the man quickly walked towards her.

"Miss Luo, I'm sorry for making you wait." He said with a warm smile before his eyes fell on the two little buns with her. But the man didn't ask and just immediately led them towards the car.

"No, it's alright. I just got here." She replied and as soon as they boarded, the car accelerated up the hill. Luo Xiaolei could only deduce that there must be hidden cameras at the gate for these people to immediately know that she had come.

"Mommy, are we going to go for a hike? This mountain looks really high." The curious Shen Rui started asking as he looked through the window with awe. Shen Rui had always been a nature lover and always wanted to play in places like the woods so he was obviously thrilled with what he was seeing.

"Err… you want to go for a hike?" Luo Xiaolei didn't know what to reply. It was because even she was puzzled. The road they were taking was beautiful and it felt like they were no longer in Central City. As they went deeper, she realized that the forest wasn't just thick, it even seemed to be a virgin forest and the trees looked like they were hundreds of years old. Anyone who would see this would just stare in marvel, most especially when they reached a part where the road was completely covered by trees, willowing side by side, making it look like a mysteriously beautiful path towards another world.

And the surprise didn't end there.

"Mommy! There's a wolf! Look! There's a big wolf! Ahh, there are also wolves there too! Wahh, so many! Mommy, is this a mountain of wolves?!!!" Suddenly, Little Rui yelled, shocking Luo Xiaolei. Ehh? W-w-what? Wolves?!
