How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 570

White Hair guffawed, turning to the DJ. “Gary, he’s telling you to apologize, or he’ll make things difficult for us. See? You stirred up trouble with your nonsense. Thinks he’s some big shot, maybe?”

“Haha…” The nightclub erupted in laughter.

The DJ scurried over, forcing a smile. “Brother, you’re mixing things up. Serious when you shouldn’t be, and vice versa. Why come to a nightclub dressed like that? Shouldn’t you be at home playing video games?”

Yang Chen retorted, “Coming here is my business, not yours. Forget it, I don’t want to waste my breath. Who owns this place? Get him over here. It’s 10:20 now. I don’t care if he’s on Mars; if he’s not here by 10:30, he’ll face the music.”

DJ: “Brother, don’t scare me. I’m easily frightened. If you scare me, you’ll have to pay the price.”

“Haha…” More laughter.

Yan Ruyu’s college roommate, Kang Min, interjected quickly, “Xiaoyu, tell your friend to be careful. The owner here is very powerful. It won’t end well if a ride-hailing driver like him acts so arrogant.”

Kang Min’s words seemed like a warning, but she really just wanted to highlight Yang Chen’s job as a ride-hailing driver.

Yang Chen’s earlier claim of bearing all consequences now sounded ridiculous. Everyone assumed he was overcompensating. Why would a ride-hailing driver make such a claim? He was just a joke.

The reason Yan Ruyu regretted seeing her classmates was that they’d become unfamiliar. They were now vain, competitive, and loved to show off, a far cry from their simple days in school.

Upon learning Yang Chen was a ride-hailing driver, the laughter intensified.

DJ: “After all that talk, I thought you were someone important. Turns out you’re just a ride-hailing driver.”

The white-haired bouncer chimed in with a sneer, “Driving a ride-hailing car and acting superior? I can’t even be bothered to argue with someone like you. Get out and don’t come back. This isn’t your kind of place.”

Yang Chen: “You can’t solve this. Get your boss over here.”

White Hair: “Brother, we’re already giving you a chance. Don’t waste it. If we have to drag you out, it won’t be pretty. A ride-hailing driver like you isn’t worthy of meeting our boss.”

Yang Chen: “Can you make decisions for your boss? Can you handle the consequences?”

White Hair: “I can! The boss is my second uncle. Think I can’t make decisions?”

Yan Ruyu tugged at Yang Chen’s arm. “Forget it, let’s go. This isn’t Hai City, and I can’t do anything here.”

Yang Chen: “As long as we’re on Earth, no one can push me around. I hope you’ll be just as tough later.”

With that, Yang Chen dialed Ning Shaoqing.

White Hair: “Haha… Who are you pretending to call? Who would a ride-hailing driver like you even know? Another ride-hailing driver?”

“Haha…” The laughter was deafening.

Yan Ruyu’s roommate, Kang Min, said in a mocking tone, “Oh dear, Xiaoyu, your friend is so clueless. I dropped such obvious hints, but he’s still acting like this? We can’t help you later.”

Yan Ruyu chuckled. “We don’t need your help. We can handle it ourselves.”

Kang Min: “This is Jinling. He’s just a ride-hailing driver. How can you solve it?”

Yang Chen: “Alright, I hope you can really make decisions and aren’t just putting on a show.”

Yang Chen turned and walked out.

“Tsk…”

“He’s leaving already?”

“I thought he was so amazing. Just a few harsh words and he’s gone.”

“Haha…”

White Hair smiled disdainfully. “Gary, continue!”

The DJ nodded and rushed back to the booth to resume DJing and hype up the crowd.

Yan Ruyu’s classmates began to tease her.

“Yan Ruyu is hilarious. She finds a ride-hailing driver as her boyfriend, but she’s afraid we’ll look down on him, so she pretends he’s just a friend. Do regular friends pick you up so late at night?”

“There’s nothing wrong with being a ride-hailing driver, but it’s wrong to show off like that. Anyone would think he drives a spaceship.”

“Yan Ruyu knows what he’s like, so she’s embarrassed to introduce him to us.”

…

Later, Yang Chen and Yan Ruyu returned to the hotel.

Yan Ruyu had booked a separate room. They went to their respective rooms.

Yang Chen immediately messaged Qiu Yuhong.

“Notify the Jinling branch to immediately send people to Space and deal with the DJ named Gary and the white-haired bouncer. Beat them senseless.”

Qiu Yuhong replied quickly.

“Received. I’ll take care of it immediately.”

Half an hour later, dozens of people from Xingchen Defense’s Jinling branch arrived at Space.

The leader was Vice President Gao Ang, a regular at nightclubs, known to many there.

White Hair, hearing that Gao Ang had arrived with dozens of men, rushed to greet him.

“Brother Ang, what brings you here today? So generous, bringing so many brothers to support our business. All expenses are 20% off tonight. Brother Ang, have fun with your brothers and enjoy yourselves,” White Hair said obsequiously.

Gao Ang, without a word, slapped White Hair and pointed at the DJ. The men behind him surged forward and dragged the DJ away.

The music stopped, and the lights came on.

Everyone stared, the noisy nightclub falling silent.

“What’s going on? Why are Xingchen Defense here?”

“Damn, are those guys from Xingchen Defense? Did Boss Huang offend them?”

“They’re done for, right? Who can afford to offend Xingchen Defense?”

…

White Hair was furious but didn’t dare to fight Gao Ang. He scrambled to his feet. “Brother Ang, what’s the meaning of this?”

Gao Ang waved his hand dismissively.

The men understood and began beating White Hair and the DJ.

The bouncers watched in horror, not daring to intervene.

White Hair: “Brother Ang, don’t hit us! Let’s talk. You have to tell me what we did wrong, right?”

Gao Ang watched coldly as his men beat White Hair and the DJ.

Soon, White Hair and the DJ were covered in blood.

Gao Ang signaled his men to stop.

“Huang Kang, call your uncle now and tell him to get here immediately. I’m giving him 20 minutes. If he’s not here by then, don’t blame me for what happens next,” Gao Ang said coldly.

White Hair wiped the blood from his face and called his uncle, Huang Hai.

“Uncle, come to the club quickly! People from Xingchen Defense are causing trouble,” White Hair said frantically.

Huang Hai was shocked. “Why would Xingchen Defense cause trouble at our place? Did someone offend them?”

White Hair: “Just come quickly! I’m about to be beaten to death.”

Huang Hai hung up and rushed over.

Gao Ang announced, “Anyone not involved, leave now, unless you want to get caught in the crossfire.”

Without that warning, people might have left. But now, everyone wanted to stay and watch the drama unfold.

The DJ pleaded, “Brother Ang, we don’t know each other. I couldn’t have offended you. Why are you hitting me?”

Gao Ang: “Because you’re a loudmouth who insults people. I’ll see what Huang Hai’s attitude is, then decide what to do with you.”

A loudmouth who insults people?

Everyone remembered the ride-hailing driver.

The DJ asked in a panic, “Brother Ang, who… who did I insult?”

Gao Ang kicked him. “Who did you insult? Don’t you know? You’re just a DJ. What gave you the right to insult customers? Do customers have to do whatever you want? Ask Huang Hai if he dares to be so arrogant. What makes you so arrogant?”

It was clear Gao Ang was there for the ride-hailing driver.

“Brother Ang is here for that ride-hailing driver… no, no, no, for that big shot? We didn’t know he was your man, Brother Ang. We wouldn’t have dared to cause trouble,” White Hair stammered.

Gao Ang: “So you can insult people if you don’t know who they are? Is Space so special? Is ‘customer is God’ only everywhere else?”

White Hair: “No, no…”

People whispered.

“Damn, that ride-hailing driver is Gao Ang’s friend. No wonder he was so tough.”

“I knew it. How could a ride-hailing driver act so arrogant? He has connections. Gary and Huang Kang are done for.”

“This is going to be a show. I wonder if Gao Ang will beat up Huang Hai.”

“That’s impossible, right? Master Hai is well-known in Jinling. Gao Ang can’t touch him.”

…

Yan Ruyu’s classmates exchanged uneasy glances.

Kang Min: “Hey, I didn’t say anything too harsh, did I?”

She worried Yang Chen might target her.

“It seems like you did, and it seems like you didn’t.”

“Not on the surface, but in reality. If you hadn’t said he was a ride-hailing driver, no one would have known.”

“You also said he was ignorant. If he holds a grudge, you might get beaten up.”

…

Kang Min panicked. “Oh dear, did I say too much? I’m done for. I’d better call Yan Ruyu and ask her to say a good word for me. I don’t want trouble with Xingchen Defense.”

Kang Min called Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling guilty.

If she hadn’t asked Yang Chen to pick her up, he wouldn’t have lost face.

But this was Jinling, beyond her family’s reach. She couldn’t help Yang Chen vent his anger, which saddened her.

Seeing Kang Min’s call, Yan Ruyu, already in a bad mood, didn’t answer.

“I’m done for! Yan Ruyu isn’t answering. They’re going to do something to me,” Kang Min said fearfully.

She was overthinking it. Yang Chen didn’t even notice her. It was her own paranoia.

“Who told you to say he was ignorant? He dares to mess with Huang Hai. He won’t give you face. Message Xiaoyu. Be sincere. She’s easy to talk to. She might say something for you, for the sake of your four years in the same dorm.”

“Yes, yes, yes, message her quickly. There’s still time.”

“Be sincere.”

Kang Min nodded and carefully edited her message.

Kang Min’s boyfriend, Li Chao, couldn’t stand it. “Why are you so afraid? If he hits you for one sentence, I won’t let him get away with it.”

Kang Min: “He’s from Xingchen Defense Group.”

Li Chao: “So what? My classmate’s father is the deputy mayor. If Xingchen Defense wants to operate in Jinling, they’ll give him face, right?”

Kang Min: “You have such a connection? Why haven’t I heard about it?”

Li Chao: “You didn’t ask. Besides, I have so many connections, I can’t explain them all.”

“Then why should I send a message? Let them try to touch me,” Kang Min said loudly.

The room was quiet. Her loud voice would reach Gao Ang.

Gao Ang looked at Kang Min. Seeing her smug expression, he asked, “Were you talking to me?”

Kang Min: “No! I was talking to my friend. Not you.”

Gao Ang: “Either leave or be quiet. If I hear another word, I’ll get rough with you.”

Seeing his girlfriend threatened, Li Chao stood up. “What are you so arrogant about? Can Xingchen Defense do whatever they want?”

Gao Ang: “I didn’t say that, but you provoked me, so I’ll retaliate. Don’t think you’re smart. I don’t allow cleverness here.”

Li Chao: “We can’t even talk? This is a public place, not your home. You’re controlling.”

Gao Ang waved his hand. Several men beat Li Chao.

“Damn! This guy has a problem, right? Provoking Xingchen Defense? Does he think he’s more important than quantum chips and the Global Reach rain-making missile [a fictional advanced weapon]?”

“If he didn’t know they were from Xingchen Defense, I’d say he needed a beating. But he knew and still said that. I don’t understand.”

“He’s showing off to his girlfriend, but at the wrong time.”

…

Seeing her boyfriend beaten, Kang Min shouted, “Stop! We know the deputy mayor! You’re in trouble! We won’t let you get away with this!”

Gao Ang: “So you have connections. Go find them and see if they’ll help.”

Huang Hai rushed in.

“President Gao, what’s the matter? If I’ve done something wrong, you could have called. I’d have given you a satisfactory answer,” Huang Hai said with a smile.

Gao Ang signaled his men to stop. “Your people are ignorant. A friend came to pick up a friend, and because they didn’t want to play your kissing game [a common nightclub game], these trash insulted him. Everyone here tonight… You want to see my friend kissing? Are you worthy? My friend asked them to call you, but they refused. They had to be smart alecks. Huang Hai, give me a satisfactory solution.”

Huang Hai: “President Gao, I’m sorry. They didn’t know your friend’s identity. Who was the smart aleck? Step forward!”

White Hair and the DJ stepped out.

White Hair: “Second Uncle, I didn’t know he was Brother Ang’s friend. She said he was a ride-hailing driver, so I said things.”

DJ: “Master Hai, I only said things after listening to her. Blame her. If she hadn’t lied, we wouldn’t have made this mistake.”

Kang Min was dumbfounded. Why were they blaming her?

“Hey! What do you mean? Why are you blaming me? He is a ride-hailing driver. He said it himself. I didn’t lie. He didn’t say he was Brother Ang’s friend, so I didn’t know,” Kang Min said frantically.

White Hair slapped her. “Why are you so talkative? Would you die if you didn’t speak? If you hadn’t said he was a ride-hailing driver, would I have been so careless? Brother Ang, settle the score with her. We were unintentional.”

DJ: “Yes, yes, yes, Brother Ang, please be merciful.”

Gao Ang ignored them. “Huang Hai, it’s late. I want to sleep. Give me a solution.”

Huang Hai: “President Gao, can’t we discuss this?”

Gao Ang: “Discuss what? I’ll give you one minute. Either give me a solution, or we’ll solve it ourselves.”

Huang Hai gritted his teeth, grabbed two bottles from a table.

White Hair panicked. “Second Uncle, what are you doing? I’m your nephew!”

Huang Hai: “Who told you to be so impetuous? Consider this a lesson on how to behave.”

Huang Hai smashed the bottles on White Hair’s head.

White Hair clutched his head and wailed.

Huang Hai slapped the DJ and smashed a bottle on his head.

“Do your job and control your mouth! Customers are God. They can play or not. What right do you have to force them? You can’t even tell who’s God and who’s the waiter?” Huang Hai roared.

The DJ clutched his head, afraid Huang Hai would hit him again.

The staff lowered their heads, afraid of Huang Hai’s anger.

“President Gao, is this satisfactory?” Huang Hai asked.

Gao Ang: “I hope so. I’ll report your solution to my friend. If he’s satisfied, it’s over. If not, I’ll be back. Also, do me a favor, President Huang.”

Huang Hai: “President Gao, just tell me.”

Gao Ang pointed at Kang Min. “Her mouth is also bad. Slap her a few times.”

Huang Hai nodded. “No problem.”

Huang Hai rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Kang Min.

The nephew and DJ had said she lied, causing them to think Gao Ang’s friend was a ride-hailing driver.

If she hadn’t lied, this wouldn’t have happened. The culprit was her mouth.

Seeing Huang Hai coming, Kang Min retreated.

But there were too many people behind her.

“Don’t mess around! I’ll call the police! Our friend’s father is the deputy mayor! Really! I’m not lying! Don’t…”

“Pa pa pa pa…”

Huang Hai slapped her a dozen times. Kang Min’s face and lips swelled.

Gao Ang: “President Huang, thanks. Let’s go!”

Huang Hai: “President Gao, take care. Say hello to your friend. If he’s still upset, I’ll apologize in person.”

Gao Ang: “Forget it, you’re not qualified to eat at the same table as him.”

Huang Hai: “…”

Gao Ang gave Huang Hai no face.

Why would Xingchen Defense need to? These people had been rude to Yang Chen. It was good enough he didn’t destroy the club. He wanted to eat with Yang Chen? He should pray for the lottery.

Kang Min cried to Li Chao, “A Chao, let’s find your classmate. I can’t take this. We must make them pay.”

Li Chao’s face was bleeding. “Let’s go to the hospital first. I’ll find my classmate tomorrow. I’ll get revenge!”

Huang Hai snorted. “You’re still not convinced? You’re ignorant! Do you know what Xingchen Defense is? They could make you disappear. Yang Chen is a national treasure. The country will satisfy his requests. Do you understand? I’m saving you. It’s better to be slapped than disappear, right? I even hit my nephew. Don’t you understand?”

Kang Min: “You’re a coward. No matter how powerful Xingchen Defense is, if they want to operate in Jinling, they must give the deputy mayor face.”

Huang Hai: “Hehe… You fools! Go ahead and court death. I’ll see how you die.”
