How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 242

Armored Vehicles Leading a Hundred-Man Squad—What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?

Mingcui Workshop’s people quickly surrounded Yang Chen and Hong Junle’s group.

Hong Junle chuckled coldly and asked, “Manager Li, what’s the meaning of this? Is Mingcui Workshop abandoning all pretense and resorting to robbery?”

Manager Li also sneered, replying, “It’s none of your business. You better not interfere, lest you invite trouble upon yourself.”

Hong Junle said, “Manager Li, that’s not right. It’s the duty of every chivalrous person to help those in need. I have a connection with Boss Yang, and he’s my friend now. Shouldn’t I help him?”

Manager Li: “Heh… Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Our goals are the same, the difference is that we’re doing it openly, while you’re being sneaky. Step aside, I need to talk to Boss Yang.”

Hong Junle shook his head, standing by the car window, blocking him.

If one didn’t know his true intentions, his brave stance in front of Yang Chen would be quite touching.

Manager Li pointed at Hong Junle, wanting to threaten him, but felt it was unnecessary because he couldn’t threaten Hong Junle at all.

So, Manager Li had no choice but to speak to Yang Chen over Hong Junle’s shoulder, “Boss Yang, our Master Qin is very sincere about buying the Immortal Blood from you. You can sit down and discuss any requests you have. There’s no need to make things awkward for everyone. Master Qin said that as long as we cooperate successfully, you’ll be a lifetime VIP of Mingcui Workshop, enjoying free access forever. If you encounter any trouble in Hai City in the future, feel free to find Master Qin, and he will do his best to help you solve it. What do you think?”

Yang Chen laughed heartily and said, “If you want to rob something, just rob it. Why make it sound so nice? My attitude is clear: I want to keep this jade for myself. I won’t sell it or cooperate with anyone to develop it. Is that clear enough?”

Manager Li: “Why bother? Master Qin is willing to be your friend now. Why do you insist on becoming Master Qin’s enemy? What good will it do you?”

Yang Chen: “Your logic is amazing. Just because I don’t sell my own things to you, I become your enemy? This is a society ruled by law. Are you still trying to force a sale?”

Manager Li: “I’ve already given you enough face. Since you don’t want it, don’t blame me for being impolite. Brothers, Master Qin has ordered us to take back the Immortal Blood that belongs to Mingcui Workshop.”

“Yes!” The subordinates Manager Li brought replied in unison, immediately stepping forward to forcibly seize it.

At that moment, more cars arrived.

The customers who were playing with rough stones in Mingcui Workshop earlier had now brought people to chase after them.

Soon, the roadside was filled with people.

It was fortunate that it was past 3 a.m. If there were so many people standing around in broad daylight, it would definitely attract the police.

Hong Junle: “Boss Yang, do you see the situation clearly now? You have no other choice but to cooperate with me. They all want to rob your jade, but I genuinely want to cooperate with you to develop it. I can give you money, and you can give me a share of the jade’s profits. In return, I’ll protect your safety even if it costs me my life. What do you think?”

Yang Chen: “You want to protect me and still want benefits? If your dad knew, he’d beat you up.”

Hong Junle: “No, what’s your relationship with my dad? I’ll call him and ask right now.”

With that, Hong Junle called his dad.

Hong Junle: “Hey, Dad, let me ask you about someone. Do you know Yang Chen?”

Hong Sitong: “Yes, he’s a friend of the Xue family. What’s wrong?”

Hong Junle: “Ah? A friend of the Xue family?”

Hong Junle looked at Yang Chen in shock.

Hong Sitong: “Yes! Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and messing around outside again? Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

Hong Junle briefly explained the situation here to his dad.

Hong Sitong quickly said, “You rascal! How dare you try to snatch Mr. Yang’s things? Apologize to him immediately and protect his safety. I’ll call Miss Xue to report and see what she wants to do. Remember, you have to protect him even if it costs you your life. Do you hear me?”

Hong Junle: “I hear you.”

Hanging up the phone, Hong Junle quickly stepped forward and bowed to Yang Chen to apologize.

“Mr. Yang, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have had any designs on you. I didn’t know you were a friend of the Xue family. Otherwise, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to have any crooked thoughts about you. My dad said he called Miss Xue, and reinforcements will be here soon,” Hong Junle said.

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Ignorance is bliss. I don’t blame you.”

Hong Junle quickly thanked Yang Chen for his generosity. Then, he turned to the others and said, “Listen up, as long as I, Hong Junle, am here today, none of you will even think about touching Boss Yang. Unless you step over my dead body.”

Hong Junle’s subordinates were stunned by his sudden change of face.

He was just about to snatch Yang Chen’s jade, but after a phone call, he suddenly wanted to protect Yang Chen and the jade?

Manager Li immediately cursed, “Brother Le [Le is a respectful way to address someone], what show are you putting on?”

Hong Junle: “Listen to my advice, everyone should leave quickly, or you’ll definitely not end well. Mr. Yang is friends with the Xue family’s young lady. If you dare to have designs on him, the Xue family will definitely not let you off.”

The Xue family’s name could indeed scare some people, but forces like Mingcui Workshop, which also had big shots behind them, were not afraid of the Xue family.

Moreover, even if some people were still afraid of the Xue family, it didn’t mean they would give up.

“What if he’s friends with the Xue family’s young lady? Just because he’s friends with her, others can’t cooperate with him to make money?”

“That’s right, I’m here to find Boss Yang for cooperation, not to do anything else. Why are you trying to scare us with the Xue family?”

“Even if the Xue family’s young lady is here, she can’t be unreasonable and not let us talk to Boss Yang about cooperation, right?”

…

Hong Junle said angrily, “What are you pretending for? Do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Hurry up and get out of the way. It’s almost dawn. If you don’t sleep, we still have to go home and sleep.”

If it were normal times, everyone might give Hong Junle some face.

But now, with the temptation of huge profits, his face was useless.

Not to mention those who were not afraid of Hong Junle in the first place, even those who were afraid of him were unwilling to give up the huge profits and leave. Anyway, there were many people on the scene, and they were not afraid that Hong Junle would really dare to do anything.

Mingcui Workshop’s Manager Li said with a smile, “Brother Le, usually everyone doesn’t bother arguing with you, so they give you some leeway. But you don’t really think everyone is afraid of you, do you? Hurry up and get out of the way, don’t be a hindrance here. Cutting off someone’s wealth is like killing their parents. Don’t anger everyone, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences. I don’t believe the Xue family would fall out with Master Qin and so many friends for the sake of a steward. What do you think?”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

Hong Junle felt very embarrassed. Others were truly awesome because of their own abilities, but he seemed awesome because his dad was the Xue family’s steward and he had the backing of the Xue family.

Usually, when he didn’t touch other people’s core interests, everyone would call him Brother Le out of respect for the Xue family.

But now, with the temptation of such a big profit as the Immortal Blood, who would give face to the son of a steward?

Hong Junle had been in the game for so long, but today was the first time he truly recognized his real status in the world.

In the past, he always thought that everyone called him Brother Le, so he must be a very awesome person.

Now he knew that in other people’s hearts, he was just a clown.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Brother Le, I appreciate your kindness. Go back. I’ll take care of things here myself.”

Hong Junle: “There are so many of them, and you only have a few people. How are you going to handle it? If the thing is snatched away, even if you get it back, it might not be the original. Do you understand what I mean?”

Yang Chen opened the car door to get out, but Wang Zheng quickly grabbed him, saying, “Benefactor, don’t get out, it’s dangerous. If it really doesn’t work, let’s call the police and get through tonight first.”

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

With that, Yang Chen got out of the car.

The bodyguards quickly gathered around, protecting Yang Chen tightly in the middle.

Yang Chen said loudly, “Is everyone here? Is anyone else coming? Once you’re all here, I’ll have a good chat with you.”

“Boss Yang, what courage! I’ve been in the game for decades, and you’re the only one whose courage I admire.”

“Anyway, everyone who witnessed you opening the Immortal Blood in Mingcui Workshop earlier is here, right?”

“Boss Yang is right to do so. Everyone doesn’t necessarily want to snatch your Immortal Blood. If you can have a good chat with us, wouldn’t it be great for everyone to make money together?”

…

Yang Chen nodded and said loudly, “I’ll say it one last time, I’m keeping this jade for myself. I won’t sell it or cooperate with anyone to develop it. This is the last time I’ll say this. If anyone dares to have designs on this jade again, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Boss Yang, there’s no need to fall out, right?”

“We’re really willing to develop and make money with you now. Why make everyone look bad?”

“It’s the middle of the night. Why is everyone not sleeping and coming here? Do you think it’s possible for you to dismiss everyone with just one sentence?”

…

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Actually, I don’t like bullying people, but you have to force me to be a bully. Sigh…”

“Haha…” Everyone laughed.

At that moment, Yang Chen whistled loudly towards the tunnel. A few seconds later, the rumbling sound of armored vehicles and the sound of synchronized footsteps came from the tunnel.

Before long, four armored vehicles slowly drove out of the tunnel, followed by an orderly “army.”

The people on the scene were stunned. Was some film crew filming a movie?

Was it “Wolf Warrior 3”?

Or “Operation Red Sea 2”?

“Hey ho! Hey ho! Hey ho…”

The strong men rhythmically shouted slogans in sync with their steps, making the scene even more frightening.

“What’s going on?”

“Are these his people?”

“These are people from Aegis Security Group!”

“So, he spent money to hire Aegis Security Group to send people to protect him?”

“Damn! This formation must have cost a lot of money. Armored vehicles with hundreds of people, wouldn’t it take several million to hire such a formation?”

“Damn it, are you guys focusing on the wrong thing? You’re actually focusing on how much money it costs. Damn it, shouldn’t you be focusing on whether our ending will be miserable?”

…

One sentence awakened everyone from their dreams. Everyone became afraid, with fear on their faces, and many wanted to escape.

Hong Junle thought that the Xue family was so powerful that they had called so many people so quickly.

Mingcui Workshop’s Manager Li moved towards the middle of his subordinates and whispered to comfort them, “Don’t be afraid, everyone. We have Master Qin. They wouldn’t dare to do anything to us. Besides, we haven’t done anything. They have no reason to do anything to us.”

Everyone nodded, feeling that what Manager Li said was right.

Even if they were here to snatch the Immortal Blood, they hadn’t done anything. Even if they went to court, they couldn’t be convicted of a crime.

With so many people present, Boss Yang definitely wouldn’t dare to really do anything.

Soon, the four armored vehicles and the “army” formed a semicircle, trapping everyone with the mountain walls on the roadside.

Qiu Tian jumped out of the leading armored vehicle and quickly ran to Yang Chen.

“Brother Chen, it’s getting late. You should go home and rest first. Just leave it to us here,” Qiu Tian said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I gave them a chance, but they didn’t want it. Today, everyone here, without exception, must be injured. If anyone leaves unscathed, I’ll hold you responsible!”

Qiu Tian: “Understood! Don’t worry, Brother Chen. I guarantee they’ll have an unforgettable night, even more unforgettable than the first night they slept with a woman. You should go back first. It’s almost dawn, and there will be more cars soon, making it difficult for us to do things.”

Yang Chen nodded and turned to get into the car.

Qiu Tian immediately directed his subordinates to shout, “Clear a path for Brother Chen! Whoever dares to block it, cripple him!”

“Yes!” The subordinates shouted in unison, drawing the batons they carried with them.

Good heavens, just the deafening roar could scare people’s hearts to race and their limbs to go numb.

If they really started fighting, this group of “robbers” would definitely not last three minutes before they all fell.

The group was frightened and discussed in whispers.

“Damn it, I want to leave.”

“I want to leave too, but can we still leave now?”

“It’s over. Is it too late to admit our mistakes now?”

“Hurry up and admit your mistakes, or you might end up in the hospital tonight.”

“Boss Yang, I was wrong, let me go.”

“Boss Yang, I know I was wrong too. I didn’t want to harm you. I just came to join in the fun.”

…

In an instant, the dozens of people begged for mercy.

But Yang Chen ignored them and rolled up the car window.

The strong men from Aegis Security Group used the batons in their hands to clear a path.

Everyone begged for mercy while watching Yang Chen drive away.

Hong Junle saw that the situation was not good and quickly shouted, “Brother Chen, I’m on your side! Take me away! Brother Chen, Brother Chen!”

But his initial goal was not to protect Yang Chen. He was the first to come and block Yang Chen. How could Yang Chen change his mind and let him go just because he was afraid of Xue Yinong?

None of those who came to block Yang Chen today would have a good ending.

As Yang Chen’s car entered the tunnel, the sound of fighting immediately came from behind.

Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi, as ordinary people, had never seen such a scene.

Wang Zheng quickly asked, “Benefactor, what… what do you do?”

Yang Chen: “Ride-hailing driver. Your wife hailed my car, and that’s how I saved her. Don’t you believe me?”

Zhou Wenqi: “That’s right, I did hail your car. But your behavior is nothing like that of a ride-hailing driver. You see, you have connections with the charity foundation, you’re so good at playing with rough stones, and you can call so many people to protect you. This is not the strength a ride-hailing driver should have.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… I do have some investments. Ride-hailing is just a job for me to pass the time.”

Zhou Wenqi: “Oh, no wonder.”

Wang Zheng: “No matter what, you are the benefactor of our whole family. We will always remember your kindness and pray for you every day, praying for your good health and long life.”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Thank you, and I wish you a happy family and all the best.”

Soon, Yang Chen took the couple to the hospital.

Yang Chen parked the car, signed a check for 4 million, and handed it to Zhou Wenqi, saying, “This is your share of the profits from buying the stone with me. Behave yourself in the future and don’t fantasize about getting rich overnight. As long as you are not greedy, scammers will not be able to succeed.”

Zhou Wenqi nodded and said, “Thank you, benefactor. I will always remember your words and will never make such a mistake again.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, you go up.”

Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi got out of the car and bowed to Yang Chen by the car window to thank him.

Yang Chen waved his hand with a smile and drove away.

When he got home, it was already past four o’clock.

Yang Chen quickly took a shower, jumped into bed, and fell asleep quickly.

At this time, the group led by Hong Junle had all been admitted to the hospital.

Moreover, it had spread throughout the rough stone gambling world that a ride-hailing driver surnamed Yang not only had extraordinary eyesight, picking out the treasures that Mingcui Workshop had accumulated for many years, but also could mobilize hundreds of people from Aegis Security Group to besiege those who blocked him. Many forces with ordinary strength had instructed their subordinates to stay away from that Boss Yang to avoid causing even greater trouble.

However, there was one person who was not convinced, and that was Master Qin, Qin Sifeng.

Manager Li took his subordinates to treat their injuries and quickly returned to Mingcui Workshop to report the situation to Qin Sifeng.

Qin Sifeng was furious and smashed the cup in his hand.

“Damn it, Aegis Security Group dares to touch our people from Mingcui Workshop. They’re simply going too far! Gather everyone for me, and contact all the people who were beaten up last night. We’ll go to Aegis Security Group together to put pressure on Qiu Yuhong. As long as Aegis Security Group doesn’t take that Yang’s order, we can do whatever we want to him!” Qin Sifeng said.

Manager Li nodded, enduring the pain, and quickly called everyone he could find.

At lunchtime, Qin Sifeng called Qiu Yuhong.

Qin Sifeng: “Chairman Qiu, would you like to have tea tonight?”

Qiu Yuhong: “Master Qin, is it about what happened in the early hours of the morning?”

Qin Sifeng: “Chairman Qiu is right. Let’s have tea tonight. Many friends want to chat with Chairman Qiu.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Haha… Okay! Then come to Aegis Security Group after twelve o’clock tonight. Our courtyard is spacious enough to accommodate you. And once the door is closed, we can talk about anything inside, and outsiders won’t know.”

Qin Sifeng hesitated. Going to Aegis Security headquarters was too risky.

But then he thought that with so many forces joining hands, as long as they handled it well, Qiu Yuhong would definitely not dare to act rashly.

Besides, the main purpose tonight was to persuade Qiu Yuhong not to take that ride-hailing driver’s order, not to really fight with Aegis Security Group. So, let’s go there to talk.

“Okay! After twelve o’clock tonight, I will visit with other friends,” Qin Sifeng said.

Qiu Yuhong: “Haha… Okay! Then I’ll wait for Master Qin and your friends to arrive.”

Hanging up the phone, Qin Sifeng quickly asked Manager Li to notify the people from other forces to gather at Aegis Security Group headquarters tonight. It would be best to bring some “defensive” equipment to increase their bargaining power.

To avoid falling out with Aegis Security Group and to appease the others, Qin Sifeng specifically asked people to tell them that the main purpose tonight was to negotiate, to persuade Qiu Yuhong not to take Boss Yang’s order, not to really fight. Bringing equipment was just to increase their bargaining power, and they should not misunderstand the essence of the matter.

Everyone understood Qin Sifeng’s meaning and quickly took out their best equipment.

Yang Chen slept until noon before waking up. After eating lunch, he still felt sleepy and went back to sleep.

When he woke up, it was already past four o’clock in the afternoon.

Yang Chen had just walked out of the room when he heard Xue Yinong’s voice downstairs.

At that moment, Qiu Yuhong called Yang Chen.

Yang Chen answered the phone.

Qiu Yuhong: “Mr. Yang, Qin Sifeng and the others who play with jade have asked me to negotiate at the headquarters at 12 o’clock tonight. I received a tip that they have taken out their treasured equipment, and it seems they want to use these things to force me to ignore you. What should we do tonight?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… We are good citizens. Of course, we should actively report any illegal and criminal behavior.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Haha… Understood. Do you want to come and watch the fun tonight?”

Yang Chen: “I’ve been sleeping all day, and I’m very energetic now. I’ll definitely go and see the fun tonight.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Okay. Then you come over early, and I’ll have people prepare wine and dishes. You can eat and watch the show upstairs.”

Yang Chen: “Okay. Go do your work.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen walked downstairs.

In the living room downstairs, there were not only Xue Yinong, but also Hong Sitong and Hong Junle.

Hong Junle was covered in injuries, looking miserable.

Seeing Yang Chen coming downstairs, Hong Junle quickly greeted him and bowed, saying, “Mr. Yang, I’m sorry. It was all my fault last night. Please forgive my ignorance.”
