Chapter 476: Chapter 476 The Disappeared Driver

The live broadcast was playing automatically nearby, and Araminta Gold sat in front of the giant phone screen, pretending to watch.

Samuel Chalmers had a cup of milk tea by his side and was focused on handling the emails on his computer. Occasionally, he would look up and glance at the live broadcast.

...

Over there, Scarlett Jennings and a group of guests had just finished a wave of audience interaction.

The host, William Zeller, checked the time and was about to select the last interactive audience member when his earpiece seemed to connect to something.

He nodded towards Director Clark and then addressed the audience on the other end of the live broadcast,

"The show’s journey to this point wouldn’t be possible without the strong support of our viewers in front of the live broadcast. Once again, thank you all for your support and love for ’Inspiration’. At the end of the show, we are about to connect with a special audience member."

As the host spoke, the live broadcast quickly connected to a video call.

Upon seeing the person on the other end of the video, everyone was a bit taken aback.

Sitting there was, astonishingly, a young traffic policeman.

Next to him was a young couple holding a child.

Both the couple looked eagerly at the camera, their expressions somewhat nervous.

The traffic policeman first introduced himself, then briefly explained their request.

"This connection was made through the Sea City Police Station. We hope to seek the help of the program team to find a benefactor for this couple and their child."

The traffic policeman said while directly releasing an on-duty video.

In the video, a traffic policeman was stopped by a car driving against traffic,

The driver was very anxious, claiming that the child in the back seat had suddenly gone into shock and needed to be rushed to the nearby hospital for treatment.

It happened to be during rush hour, and the road was completely blocked. After understanding the situation, the traffic policeman immediately reported it to the traffic department, clearing the way the whole journey, escorting them, and managed to get the child to the emergency center as quickly as possible, successfully helping the child escape Ghost Gate Pass.

This incident was published on the local video channel a few days ago as a positive example of the Sea City police serving the public.

The incident itself was not problematic, but the strangest part was after the child recovered, the child’s parents contacted the traffic police team, saying they wanted to thank the police officer who cleared the way and the driver who took the child to the hospital, but the driver was nowhere to be found.

"We accessed the road surveillance at the time, and both the license plate and monitoring were normal, but neither the car nor the driver was in the system."

The connected traffic policeman was the one who escorted the car to the hospital at the time. He also earnestly recalled the investigation results,

"The system cannot find any information about the driver or the vehicle, but at the time, I clearly remember that the driver said he was the child’s father, and moreover..."

He stopped for a moment, a bit awkwardly looking at the woman in the couple beside him, "This child’s mother also confirmed..."

Upon hearing this, the guests and viewers on the other end of the live broadcast started to sense something was off.

The first reaction from everyone was that the child’s mother got caught in a lie.

The driver claimed to be the child’s father.

The mother also said he was the child’s father.

But the real father was someone else.

Netizens immediately envisioned a dramatic soap opera unfolding in their minds.

[Blindly guessing, the child actually belongs to the child’s mother and the driver. The two secretly took the child on a rendezvous, and the child suddenly went into shock.]

[The two rushed to take the child to the hospital, instinctively speaking the truth, not expecting the stepfather to come, who insisted on finding the child’s savior to thank him.]

[The child’s mother and the biological father-driver, to avoid their affair being exposed, could only pretend to vanish into the Mortal Realm, not letting the father find out about his existence!]

As soon as this speculation came out, it immediately got picked apart by a bunch of gossip-loving viewers.

First of all, it’s not very possible for a real, living person to pretend to vanish into the Mortal Realm.

If there’s a car, then there’s a purchase record. If there’s a purchase record, the owner can be found.

Moreover, unless the child and the driver look exactly alike, there’s no need to go to such lengths to disguise.

Just pretending not to know and accepting the father’s gratitude alongside the wife, isn’t that a simple matter?

The couple in the live broadcast originally intended to find the child’s savior, but no sooner had they explained the situation than they saw such absurd "conjectures" from netizens. The husband’s face immediately darkened, and the woman was even more incredulous, adamantly denying,

"That’s not true! I don’t even know that driver! Don’t talk nonsense!"

[If you don’t know him, why didn’t you deny it when the driver said the child was his?]

The driver’s face couldn’t be seen clearly in the previous video, but the driver’s voice could be heard.

The driver’s voice was anxious, not at all like he was acting.

The woman just hugged the child beside him, nodding desperately for help.

Netizens still leaned towards their own imagination.

As for her denial now, it was just to prevent her husband from discovering her affair with the driver.

Although Sebastian Carew, Ariel Zimmerman, and the others didn’t speak up, they somewhat agreed with the audience’s speculation.

After all, things even more dramatic happen in TV dramas.

The traffic policeman obviously didn’t anticipate such wild imaginations from netizens, worried that coaxing this couple to break up would increase the divorce rate in the city, quickly spoke,

"Everyone, don’t jump to conclusions. We’ve already investigated, and there’s indeed no relationship between this child’s mother and that driver.

Today, we reached out to the ’Inspiration’ program group also at Officer Yuan’s suggestion.

The oddity of this case lies in that no matter how the police accessed road surveillance, the car that left the hospital seemed to vanish into thin air. Not only could no vehicle and owner information be found, but even the driving track disappeared!"

Perhaps fearing further misunderstanding by netizens, the traffic policeman quickly explained all their findings.

They eliminated all possibilities of human factors, almost outright telling the audience... they encountered a ghost driver.

The traffic policeman’s words were too sincere, and although a small portion of the audience still insisted the woman was lying, most of them accepted the possibility of supernatural involvement.

After all, nothing compares to spicy gossip more than a suspenseful supernatural story.

[If it’s as supernatural as you make it sound, then I’m definitely intrigued!]

Everyone instinctively looked towards Scarlett Jennings and Gregory Xander.

Scarlett didn’t disappoint, after hearing the traffic policeman’s account, directly shared what she saw.

"You and the mother and son beside you indeed have traces of Shadow Energy on you."

Though several days had passed, the Shadow Energy on this mother and son had faded, Scarlett could still see it, which only meant they had direct contact with a ghost.

The situation was very clear.

"The driver you encountered was indeed a ghost."

Not just the driver.

Scarlett suspected that they were also in a Ghost Car.
