521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)
Over an hour later, Yang Chen dropped Qiao Renxi off at her destination.
It was no wonder she wanted Yang Chen to wait for her there. Within a few hundred meters, there was only this one house. A small mountain and forest loomed in front.
With her looks and figure, it was indeed dangerous for her to walk here at night.
Qiao Renxi scanned the QR code and transferred 1,000 yuan [approximately $140 USD] to Yang Chen, saying, “Brother Yang, you must wait for me here for half an hour. Don’t leave. Please.”
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Don’t worry, since I’ve taken your money, I’ll definitely keep my word.”
Qiao Renxi smiled, nodded, and walked onto a small path towards a three-story villa about a hundred meters away.
Living in this kind of environment really gives off the feeling of a reclusive master.
Yang Chen was playing on his phone when Qiao Renxi sent a friend request.
“Brother Yang, let’s be friends.”
Yang Chen accepted the friend request.
Qiao Renxi: Brother Yang, I’m a little scared. If something seems wrong, I’ll send you a random message. When you see it, call the police immediately without any hesitation.
Yang Chen: You’re a bit paranoid. You’re asking someone to save your dad, why are you so suspicious of them?
Qiao Renxi: I don’t know why, but I just feel uneasy. I hope my sixth sense is wrong.
The location was a bit remote, and it was understandable for a girl to be scared, but he couldn’t agree with her thinking.
Without any evidence, she shouldn’t casually assume someone she’s never met is a bad person.
Yang Chen continued to play on his phone, keeping an eye on the time.
Before he knew it, half an hour had passed.
Qiao Renxi hadn’t returned yet, and Yang Chen had to go to his appointment, so he couldn’t wait for her too long. He called her.
Qiao Renxi answered the phone, saying, “Brother Yang, I’m coming. Wait a little longer, almost there.”
Yang Chen: “Okay! I’ll wait a little longer.”
About five minutes later, Qiao Renxi returned.
Seeing her expression, he knew things hadn’t gone well. Yang Chen comforted her, “Folk remedies aren’t always effective, don’t be too sad.”
Qiao Renxi: “I showed him my dad’s medical records, and he said he could cure him. But he made a condition, he wants me to marry his grandson.”
Yang Chen: “Oh, didn’t you say you’d pay any price to save your dad? You don’t seem willing.”
Qiao Renxi: “Sigh… He’s mentally disabled, 35 years old, and still can’t eat or dress himself. It’s not that I’m picky, but if he were a normal person, I would agree without hesitation as long as his grandfather could save my dad. But marrying him means I can’t even have a normal life, this…”
Hmm?
The divine doctor’s grandson is mentally disabled?
Yang Chen: “Are you sure you’re not being schemed against? If his medical skills are so good, why can’t he cure his grandson’s mental disability?”
Qiao Renxi: “He explained that his medical skills weren’t as advanced back then, and he missed the best time for treatment. But it’s a miracle he’s kept his grandson alive this long, and now it’s definitely impossible to cure him. But that has nothing to do with my dad’s condition, he guarantees he can cure my dad.”
Yang Chen nodded, saying, “Where are you going now? I’m in a hurry,
521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (2)
I need to drop you off quickly and go to my appointment.”
Qiao Renxi: “Take me to the Peninsula Hotel, I need to think carefully overnight before making a decision.”
Yang Chen nodded and immediately took Qiao Renxi to the Peninsula Hotel.
Over an hour later, they arrived at the Peninsula Hotel.
Qiao Renxi: “Brother Yang, thank you.”
Yang Chen: “You’re welcome.”
Qiao Renxi: “If only you were his grandson. I’m not picky about work or education, I just want him to be a normal person, but that’s impossible. Sigh…”
Yang Chen: “If I were his grandson, you might not be able to meet the conditions he’d set. Like, asking for half of your family’s wealth, would you be willing to give it?”
Qiao Renxi: “I would definitely be willing to give it, I’m just afraid my brother wouldn’t.”
Yang Chen: “There you go.”
Qiao Renxi: “Sigh… Well, I’m leaving, thank you. Goodbye.”
Yang Chen nodded. After Qiao Renxi got out of the car and closed the door, he immediately stepped on the gas and headed to Sheshan to meet Fang Yingqi.
It was almost nine o’clock when Yang Chen met up with Fang Yingqi.
Fang Yingqi had already prepared dinner. She opened the car door and let Yang Chen in, saying, “You’ve arrived just in time, dinner’s almost ready. Go open the window and bring the dishes over.”
Yang Chen: “It looks like it’s going to rain.”
Fang Yingqi: “Really! That’s great! Eating while listening to the rain, the atmosphere is perfect. Hurry, we need to get ready to eat before it rains.”
Yang Chen smiled, went to wash his hands, and brought the dishes to the table by the window.
At that moment, raindrops started to fall.
Fang Yingqi quickly finished the last two dishes, and then they both sat by the window, listening to the rain and eating the exquisite dinner.
“I heard the number one was caught in a ‘behind-the-scenes deal’ last night and only got eighth place,” Yang Chen joked.
Fang Yingqi laughed, saying, “You’re wrong, it wasn’t just number one, several others were also caught in it. They contacted me too, but I didn’t reply and just blocked them. I don’t care about the rankings, I’m happy enough to have been selected for the finals. I don’t need others to define or validate my life, as long as I like it.”
Yang Chen: “Wow, really? All the others were caught in it?”
Fang Yingqi: “Yeah! After you left, those contestants caused a huge scene backstage, and the station director scolded those judges like crazy. In the end, I heard the judges paid money to settle the matter. Otherwise, those contestants were going to expose the competition’s secrets and sue the judges for sexual assault. I guess those judges will have to spend a lot of money to resolve this, at least three or five hundred thousand. Oh, by the way, did you mention me to Director Chen?”
Yang Chen: “Yeah. I heard the audience gossiping about how the number one contestant had dinner with the judges last night, partying until three or four in the morning, then went back to shower and threw away her clothes. Her friends were convinced she’d win the championship. When I heard there was such a thing going on, I couldn’t let that happen. I can’t pull strings for you, but I can’t let others use unfair means to win either. So I went to Director Chen and asked him to remind the judges to score fairly. Haha… Who knew the other contestants would all be caught in ‘behind-the-scenes deals’ and get low scores,
521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)
letting you get a big advantage.”
Fang Yingqi: “Haha… That’s hilarious, so that’s what happened. I was wondering how I won so easily, it turns out the judges gave low scores to the contestants they had ‘behind-the-scenes deals’ with to clear their names, which accidentally benefited me. Haha… I feel a little sorry for those contestants, no wonder they were so angry.”
Yang Chen: “I do feel sorry for them, but the worst ones are those judges, abusing their power to harm people. Tomorrow I’ll call Director Chen and tell him to deal with those old men properly. They’re old and still not behaving, we should strip them of their power and see if they can still ‘behind-the-scenes deal’ with young girls.”
Fang Yingqi: “That’s right, that’s what we should do.”
Yang Chen: “Come on, let’s have a drink to celebrate your victory.”
After dinner and a shower, the two fell asleep to the sound of rain.
Meanwhile, the Haicheng police had arrived in Kuncheng by plane to take custody of Gao Qijun, and they would be able to return to Haicheng by plane tomorrow.
At the same time, Gao Qiguo received a text message from Zhang Lijun.
“Boss Gao, something unexpected happened, my men escaped. They said they had picked up your brother and were planning to leave the country under the cover of darkness tonight. But people from Star辰 Defense [Star Chen Defense, a private security company] suddenly rushed in, they were all equipped with professional riot gear, my men are just ordinary people, no match for them at all, and your brother was snatched away. I asked around and heard that Star辰 Defense handed your brother over to the Kuncheng police. I’m really sorry, you didn’t tell me Star辰 Defense would get involved, I wasn’t prepared at all, and now I can’t do anything. I’ll refund half of the money, that’s all I can do.”
Gao Qiguo stared at the text message, motionless for a long time.
He knew in his heart that Gao Qijun was doomed this time.
“Star辰 Defense! Yang Chen! Why did you have to get involved?” Gao Qiguo muttered through gritted teeth.
His wife, Qiao Hongyan, saw Gao Qiguo like this and quickly came over to ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Gao Qiguo: “Xiaojun was caught by Star辰 Defense and handed over to the police.”
Qiao Hongyan: “Star辰 Defense? Yang Chen? Why would he do that?”
Gao Qiguo: “I don’t know. Let me ask around.”
With that, Gao Qiguo got up and went to the study.
A few minutes later, he came out looking furious.
Qiao Hongyan: “What did they say?”
Gao Qiguo: “It seems Yang Chen is dating Captain Chen from the Municipal Bureau.”
Qiao Hongyan: “Then that makes sense, he wants to give his girlfriend a big gift. This time they seized 1.1 tons of goods and arrested over a hundred people, Captain Chen will definitely get a big reward. I told you a long time ago, Xiaojun’s arrest was only a matter of time, don’t think too much about it, the most important thing now is to protect yourself from being implicated.”
Gao Qiguo slowly took off his glasses, and tears streamed down his face.
He said through gritted teeth, “I had already made arrangements, as long as Xiaojun could go to the Golden Triangle [a region known for drug production], he would be safe. The money I saved abroad is enough to guarantee he’d live a carefree life. Yang Chen! Yang Chen! He ruined my plan and harmed Xiaojun, I absolutely can’t let him get away with it!”
Qiao Hongyan: “Are you crazy! He’s Yang Chen! Star辰 Defense! If you dare to go against him, do you want me and Xiaohui to survive? For your
521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)
illegal and criminal brother, you want to sacrifice your wife and children, right? And your sister! Even if you don’t care about me and your son, what about your own sister? She’ll be harmed by you too! Can you be clear-headed? If Xiaojun was wronged or innocent, I’d go find Yang Chen myself, let alone you. But he committed a crime, and it’s a capital crime with no room for negotiation. The police are probably giving him an outstanding citizen award right now. Why can’t you let him get away with it? If you dare touch him, neither the legal nor the illegal world will let you go! If you want to die, die far away, don’t harm me and your son!”
Qiao Hongyan was furious, turned around, went into the bedroom, slammed the door, and locked it.
Gao Qiting downstairs heard her brother and sister-in-law arguing and quickly ran upstairs to ask what was going on.
Gao Qiguo glanced at his sister and said, “Xiaojun was arrested, the Haicheng police have sent people to Kuncheng to take custody of him.”
Gao Qiting: “Arrested by Star辰 Defense?”
Gao Qiguo nodded.
Gao Qiting lowered her head, and after a few seconds of silence, she asked, “Brother, tell me the truth, if Star辰 Defense hadn’t intervened, would Second Brother be safe?”
Gao Qiguo: “I had arranged everything, if Star辰 Defense hadn’t intervened, Xiaojun would have been protected in the Golden Triangle. I also gave him the accounts and passwords for several Swiss banks, enough to guarantee he’d live a carefree life. But I never expected Star辰 Defense to intervene…”
Gao Qiting nodded and lowered her head in silence again.
After a moment, she smiled and comforted him, “Brother, I think Sister-in-law is right, you should avoid suspicion at this time and don’t get implicated. If you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about Sister-in-law and Xiaohui. Perhaps this is a relief for Second Brother, otherwise he’d live in fear for the rest of his life, opening and closing his eyes every day, fearing being arrested, how could he live well? Go apologize to Sister-in-law, what she said might not be pleasant, but it’s definitely reasonable. If you’re held accountable for what you did before, Xiaohui will be finished too. At the very least, you have to wait until Xiaohui goes abroad and settles down before thinking about whether to deal with Yang Chen. What do you say?”
Gao Qiguo stared at his sister for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly and nodded, turning around to knock on the door to apologize to his wife.
Gao Qiting stepped forward and called out, “Sister-in-law, my brother knows he’s wrong, please open the door and give him a chance to apologize. I’ve already persuaded him, so don’t worry.”
The door opened, and Qiao Hongyan quickly said, “Don’t blame me for being heartless, you all know how I treated Xiaojun. Now the situation is irreversible, no one can save him, there’s no need to put yourself in danger.”
Gao Qiting: “Sister-in-law is right. Brother, go in quickly. I’m sleepy, you should all go to sleep. Good night.”
Gao Qiguo nodded, watched his sister go downstairs, and then closed the door.
Gao Qiting’s face gradually darkened. She returned to her room, sat on the bed in a daze for half an hour, and then made a call to the United States.
Gao Qiting: “I accept your mission, in addition to the conditions you promised, I have one more request. My nephew is a senior at Haicheng University, after he graduates next year, I want you to immediately process immigration for my brother’s family and arrange for my nephew to have a position at Apple, at least as a deputy department manager.”
521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)
The other party replied: “Okay, no problem. As long as you can complete the mission, these are not problems. However, I must emphasize again, if the mission fails, you are not allowed to expose us.”
Gao Qiting: “Understood.”
With that, Gao Qiting hung up the phone.
At dawn, Gao Qiting arrived at the Binjiang Villa District.
She wasn’t a resident of this community, so she couldn’t get in unless she was accompanied by a homeowner.
But.
Beauty makes things easier.
Gao Qiting gave the security guard a pack of cigarettes, using the excuse that she was going in to scout locations for filming. The uncles couldn’t resist her coquettishness and actually let her in.
Gao Qiting knew of two residences belonging to Yang Chen.
One was the Yida Huafu in Jingcheng, and the other was the Lakeside Island Villa in the Haicheng Binjiang Villa District.
To ensure safety and privacy, a gate was added to the small bridge leading to Lakeside Island.
Only Yang Chen, Yu Shishi, and Xue Yinong had access cards, anyone else who wanted to enter had to contact them in advance, otherwise they’d have to jump into the lake and swim over.
Gao Qiting came here to find an opportunity to “accidentally” meet Yang Chen, she didn’t necessarily have to go to the Lakeside Island Villa, that would seem too purposeful.
However, Yang Chen was currently playing with Fang Yingqi in Sheshan, and she waited for three hours without seeing Yang Chen appear.
At this time, the security guard came over. It was almost noon, and many homeowners would be returning for lunch. If they saw her taking pictures here, it might upset them, so the security guard hoped she would leave now.
Gao Qiting didn’t say anything, smiled, nodded, and left.
However, she didn’t leave, but continued to wait under the scenic trees at the entrance.
Yang Chen and Fang Yingqi separated after lunch. Fang Yingqi drove home, and he found a shady place to sleep for a while.
At about three o’clock, Qiao Renxi sent Yang Chen a video request.
Qiao Renxi: “Brother Yang, are you free now? I need a ride, still to that place, and I still need you to wait for me, and I’ll still give you a thousand yuan as a reward. Is that okay?”
Yang Chen: “Are you at the Peninsula Hotel now?”
Qiao Renxi: “Yes! It’s mainly because you’re stronger and give me a sense of security. I’d be a little nervous with anyone else.”
Yang Chen: “So, have you decided how to respond to him?”
Qiao Renxi: “I’ve decided, I accept. As long as he can cure my dad, I’ll marry his grandson.”
Damn, a filial daughter.
To save her father, she’s willing to sacrifice her own happiness.
Yang Chen: “Okay! I’ll come pick you up now. No need to pay, the thousand yuan you gave me yesterday is enough. Wait for me.”
Hanging up the video, Yang Chen immediately went to the Peninsula Hotel.
Qiao Renxi was waiting at the door, and Yang Chen picked her up as soon as he arrived.
Qiao Renxi: “Brother Yang, thank you. I’m really troubling you this time.”
Yang Chen: “It’s okay, I’m getting paid. Doesn’t he want money?”
Qiao Renxi: “No, I said I’d give him a hundred million, but he doesn’t want it, he just wants me to marry his grandson. He said he’s not short of money, he just likes living there, not because he’s poor. He’s old, and his only regret is that his grandson isn’t married yet. He fulfills my wish, and I fulfill his wish, that’s fair. Sigh…”
Yang Chen: “Oh, I understand.”
Over an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Qiao Renxi got out of the car and walked over alone, Yang Chen
521. Gao Qiguo Wants Revenge on Yang Chen? – What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (6)
was still playing on his phone in the car.
About ten minutes later, Qiao Renxi’s cries for help came.
Yang Chen quickly got out of the car and ran over, seeing Qiao Renxi running towards him desperately, followed by a chubby man, chasing her while giggling and shouting, “Wife, don’t run, wife, hug.”
Qiao Renxi quickly hid behind Yang Chen, saying, “Brother Yang, they want me to sleep with him now, I definitely can’t agree.”
Yang Chen: “That’s outrageous?”
The chubby man ran to the front, drooling, and said foolishly, “Wife, wife, don’t run, come home with me, Grandpa wants us to have babies. Hehe…”
Saying that, the chubby man reached out to grab Qiao Renxi.
Qiao Renxi quickly pushed Yang Chen to block the chubby man, saying, “Not now, not now. After your grandpa cures my dad, I can officially marry you.”
At this time, an old man with a goatee walked out.
Although his beard and hair were a bit white, his steps were still firm and powerful, more energetic than those young people who sat in offices in the city.
This should be the old folk doctor Qiao Renxi mentioned, he himself is the best advertisement.
The old man affectionately stroked his grandson’s head, saying, “Xiaolong, don’t worry, Grandpa will talk to her.”
The chubby man slurped and nodded foolishly with a silly smile, saying, “Okay, okay. Grandpa, talk to her quickly. Hehe…”
The old man stared at Yang Chen for a while, saying with surprise, “Young man, how did you train your body? It’s so perfect!”
Hmm?
A connoisseur knows at a glance.
The old man could see Yang Chen’s physical condition, which meant his medical skills were really not simple.
Even the experts in big hospitals couldn’t see Yang Chen’s physical condition without the help of instruments.
Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I just exercise when I feel like it, I don’t deliberately train.”
The old man nodded with a smile, saying, “Then what is your relationship with this Miss Qiao?”
Yang Chen: “Relationship? Nothing has happened yet.”
The old man was stunned.
Qiao Renxi, who was hiding behind Yang Chen, was first shocked, then blushed and lowered her head.
The old man: “What is your relationship?”
Yang Chen: “We really have no relationship, I’m just a ride-hailing driver, hired by her.”
The old man: “Oh, I see. She has a marriage contract with my grandson, this is our own business, don’t interfere.”
Qiao Renxi: “Divine Doctor Wang, the premise of me agreeing to marry your grandson is that you cure my father. You haven’t even treated my dad yet, and you want me to sleep with your grandson, do you think that’s appropriate?”
The old man: “What if I cure your dad and you go back on your word?”
Qiao Renxi: “Our Qiao family always keeps our word, even if I go back on my word, my dad won’t agree, you can rest assured about that. If that’s not enough, with your ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to make my dad fall ill again, right? If I don’t keep my promise, you can use undetectable means to make my dad fall ill. Am I right?”
The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded, saying, “That’s true. Okay, I’ll go to the hospital with you now to save your dad. Xiaolong, go home and watch TV, when Grandpa comes back, you can sleep with your granddaughter-in-law. ”
The chubby man slurped twice, saying, “Hehe… Okay, okay, watch TV, after watching TV, I can sleep with my wife.”
The old man said to Qiao Renxi, “Miss Qiao, wait for me, I’ll go get my medicine kit. However, I don’t have a medical license, so to be safe, you should have someone send your dad home, or to a hotel or something, not in the hospital.”
Qiao Renxi: “Okay, I’ll call my mom now to send my dad to the Peninsula Hotel.”
The old man nodded and turned to take his grandson home.
Qiao Renxi breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Brother Yang, thank you. I was scared to death, I thought I was done for.”
Yang Chen: “Sigh… Let’s go.”
Before, Qiao Renxi said that the old folk doctor’s grandson was mentally disabled, but Yang Chen didn’t have a direct impression.
Now he had a direct impression, if Qiao Renxi really married the chubby man, then it would be like the old saying, a fresh flower stuck in cow dung [a beautiful thing wasted on something unworthy].
However, Qiao Renxi made this decision herself, and others couldn’t tarnish her filial piety, so Yang Chen didn’t say anything.
Yang Chen and Qiao Renxi returned to the car, and Qiao Renxi specially sat in the passenger seat, so as not to be too awkward to sit in the back row with the old man later.
More than ten minutes later, the old man got into the car with a medicine kit on his shoulder, and Yang Chen immediately started the car to go to the Peninsula Hotel.
