How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 686

Anubis urgently knocked on Limanda’s door several times, calling out, “Limanda, open the door! Dad needs to talk to you right now.”

Limanda, who was in the middle of packing, quickly stopped. “Dad, can’t it wait until tomorrow? I’ve already gone to bed,” she replied.

Anubis: “No! It has to be now. Get dressed and open the door, quickly!”

Limanda could tell from her father’s tone that something was amiss. Knowing she had no choice, she quickly unpacked, changed back into her pajamas, and opened the door.

Anubis strode in, his expression intense. “Limanda, the more I think about it, the more something feels off. You said you and Yang Chen were in the same room and didn’t do anything. I believe you, but how could he be so… restrained? Is he impotent, or is he sick?”

Limanda: “Dad, are you saying you don’t believe me? Is there no trust between us?”

Anubis quickly clarified, “I said I’m not doubting you, but I don’t believe *him*.”

Limanda nodded. “Tomorrow, we’ll go to the hospital for a checkup. We’ll see if I’m still a virgin. Once we have the report, you’ll believe the hospital, right?”

Anubis smiled awkwardly. “Alright! Then you get checked tomorrow. As long as there’s a report to prove it. Don’t blame Dad for being nosy. No man doesn’t care about this. Okay, you go to sleep. I’m going to sleep too.”

Limanda closed the door, her resolve to leave growing stronger. She yearned for the freedom of Dragon [a fictional country, likely standing in for China, known for its relative openness compared to the Sand Country].

In the morning,

Anubis and Limanda said their goodbyes. Anubis was on his way to sign the oil field share transfer agreement with Yang Chen, while Limanda falsely claimed she was going to the hospital for a checkup. Limanda left first, and after her father departed, she returned home, packed her bag, and finally left for good.

Yang Chen and Anubis signed the oil field transfer agreement, had an early lunch, and then headed straight to the airport to prepare for their return home.

As soon as Yang Chen stepped out of the car, a local girl with her face covered approached him. The bodyguards quickly intervened, escorting Yang Chen away.

“Mr. Yang, it’s me! It’s me!”

Yang Chen turned to see that the girl was Limanda.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Miss Limanda, what brings you here? Are you here for another race? I have to go back to Dragon. I’ll play with you again when I have the chance.”

Limanda quickly replied, “Mr. Yang, can I hitch a ride on your plane to Dragon?”

Yang Chen: “Huh? You’re going to Dragon? Do you have a visa? I can’t take you without a visa. Also, does your father know about this?”

Limanda stepped forward and whispered to Yang Chen, “I really long for Dragon and want to sneak over there to see it. I definitely can’t tell my dad. If he knew, he definitely wouldn’t let me go. Please, help me. Let me hitch a ride on the plane.”

Yang Chen: “Miss Limanda, I hope you understand. Hitching a ride is no problem, but the key is that your dad doesn’t know you’re going. If he finds out in the future, it won’t be good. He might accuse me of kidnapping. If you want to hitch a ride on my plane, have your dad call me… make it clear, and then you have to get a visa quickly, otherwise I can’t take you.”

Limanda had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

She stood on tiptoe and whispered in Yang Chen’s ear, “Why do you think I want to go to Dragon with you? I stayed in the hotel with you for one night, and my dad and others suspect that we did *that* kind of thing. You also know that they have high demands on women here. With such a reputation, I can’t live here anymore. I can only go to Dragon, which is a relatively open and civilized country.”

Yang Chen: “Damn, I didn’t touch you. How can they talk nonsense?”

Limanda: “But we were alone in the same room, so everyone will think that way, right?”

What she said made sense. If they really thought so, then Yang Chen had to call Anubis to explain clearly so that he wouldn’t be blamed for something he didn’t do.

Yang Chen took out his phone to call Anubis, but Limanda quickly stopped him. “Can you even explain it clearly?” she asked, her voice laced with desperation.

Yang Chen: “I have to explain it even if I can’t. I can’t let them think that way. If it doesn’t work, you can go to the hospital for a checkup. That should prove your innocence, right?”

Limanda: “The problem is that I’m an athletic girl, and that… *thing* was accidentally broken a few years ago. If I go to the hospital for a checkup, it will only prove that I’m not a virgin, wouldn’t that confirm that we did that kind of thing?”

Yang Chen: “…”

Damn, what’s going on?

However, Yang Chen still insisted on calling Anubis to clear his name. Whether he believed it or not, Yang Chen couldn’t take the blame.

Limanda cried anxiously, “I just want to go to Dragon with you, why is it so difficult? Why can’t you just take me to Dragon without asking so many questions? If I stay here, I will definitely marry Hutas next. But I don’t like him. I feel like there’s no hope for the rest of my life. I only have one way to die. Please, just take me to Dragon and give me a little hope, okay?”

Yang Chen: “Miss Limanda, I sympathize with your situation, but I can’t cause trouble for myself just because you want to get rid of everything here. Okay, even if I don’t care what your dad and others think about my relationship with you, if I take you away now, your dad will definitely complain to our embassy. How can I explain why I’m secretly taking you away? Whether it’s the law of the Sand Country [a fictional country, likely standing in for a Middle Eastern nation with strict social customs] or the law of our Dragon Country, I can’t just take you to Dragon.”

Limanda’s eyes gradually dimmed. She seemed to have resigned herself to her fate, nodding and saying, “Okay, I understand.”

Then Limanda turned and walked away, like a walking corpse.

Limanda had only raced with Yang Chen twice. Yang Chen didn’t need to risk his future for her sake.

However, out of sympathy, Yang Chen still instructed Hammers to help Limanda if she needed it in the future.

Hammers nodded. “I understand. I will definitely keep an eye on her. Mr. Yang, let’s go in.”

Yang Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the airport.

As soon as Yang Chen boarded the plane, Anubis called him.

Anubis questioned angrily, “Did you take Limanda away? I’m telling you, if you dare to take her away, I will never let you off!”

Yang Chen: “Mr. Anubis, don’t talk nonsense. I didn’t take Miss Limanda away. She did come to me just now, wanting me to take her to Dragon. She said she couldn’t see any hope in life here, and she would definitely marry Hutas next, so she only had one way to die. Also, I am innocent with her. Don’t make wild guesses.”

Anubis: “Innocent? A man and a woman alone in the same room, and you say you are innocent?”

Yang Chen: “Being alone in the same room doesn’t mean something has to happen, right? Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, I have already explained it. I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else. I’m already on the plane.”

Anubis: “Where’s Limanda?”

Yang Chen: “I don’t know. She has legs. How would I know where she’s going?”

Anubis: “I’m telling you, I will take her to the hospital for a checkup. If she is no longer a virgin, I will definitely settle the score with you, and she will definitely be punished!”

Damn, this is endless!

It seemed that Islam [implied religious context] did have strict control over this aspect, strictly prohibiting premarital sex for women.

Limanda said that she broke it a few years ago because of sports. If this was really counted against Yang Chen, the problem would be significant.

Anubis: “Why aren’t you talking? Are you feeling guilty and scared by my words?”

Yang Chen: “You are so damn boring! I wanted to tell you that Limanda just lost to me again in a bet, so you can bring 3 billion U.S. dollars to redeem her now, otherwise I will take her away.”

Anubis: “You’re talking nonsense! You clearly went to the airport, how could you race with her again? Her car is still at home, can you fool me?”

Yang Chen: “I didn’t say we raced again. She has already lost to me twice and doesn’t dare to race with me anymore. This time she arm-wrestled with me, and she lost to me. Hurry up and prepare 3 billion U.S. dollars to redeem her, otherwise I will take her away.”

After speaking, Yang Chen hung up the phone.

Damn it, this is really annoying, and he’s still blaming me.

Yang Chen quickly called Limanda.

The phone was quickly connected, and Limanda asked excitedly, “Mr. Yang, have you figured it out and are willing to take me away?”

Yang Chen: “You lost to me in arm wrestling, do you understand what that means?”

Limanda: “Ah? Oh, I understand. Yes, I can’t stand losing so much to you, I want to win back everything I lost. I don’t dare to race with you anymore, so I chose arm wrestling, but I lost to you again. Is that how it went?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… Yes! That’s how it went. I’ll have Hammers pick you up, come over now.”

Limanda: “Okay! Thank you, Mr. Yang.”

Hammers quickly brought Limanda onto the plane.

Limanda thanked him excitedly, “Mr. Yang, thank you, I will always remember your kindness.”

Yang Chen: “Forget it, you lost so much money to me, I’ll just give you a little rebate. Hammers, you guys go down, pass the order, the plane is ready to take off.”

Hammers nodded and quickly took the branch personnel off the plane.

At this time, Saraman called Yang Chen. Yang Chen guessed that Anubis would definitely ask him for help.

Saraman: “Mr. Yang, what’s going on? Anubis said Limanda lost to you again, is that true?”

Yang Chen: “I’ll let Limanda tell you.”

Yang Chen handed the phone to Limanda.

Limanda: “Your Highness, I am Limanda.”

Saraman: “Limanda, what’s going on? Why did you lose to him again? What exactly do you want to do?”

Limanda: “Your Highness, I’m just not convinced that I lost so much to him, I just want to win it back. I know I can’t beat him in racing, so I wanted to win him through other competitions. He said he wanted to arm wrestle, he used one hand, I used two hands, I thought I could definitely win, but I lost again.”

Saraman immediately scolded Limanda, scolding her harshly.

Limanda didn’t care what he scolded, as long as she could go to Dragon.

After Saraman finished scolding, he told Limanda to quickly return the phone to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen took the phone and said, “Your Highness, now you know what’s going on, right? I let her use two hands to compete with me, but she still lost, so I can’t help it, I can only win her again. I won’t embarrass Anubis, this time give me 3 billion U.S. dollars, and I will let Limanda go back, am I being reasonable enough?”

Saraman: “But you always ask for so much money, is she worth that much?”

Yang Chen: “This is not my consideration, she is my personal property now, I can ask for as high a price as I want, Anubis can not redeem her if he thinks it’s unreasonable, no one will force him. Okay, don’t get involved in this matter. When I go back and discuss the arms cooperation with you, you should focus more on governing the country. With this time, you might as well think about how to enhance the Sand Country’s voice in the international arena.”

Thinking of the 052D destroyer [a type of Chinese warship], heavy combined arms brigade, etc., Saraman didn’t dare to continue talking to Yang Chen. How could a woman compare with national defense?

Saraman: “Okay! I understand. Then I will wait for Mr. Yang’s news, I hope this day won’t make me wait too long.”

Yang Chen: “Don’t worry, I am sure of success.”

In fact, Dragon also needs to export some decent weapons, which can not only improve relations with importing countries, but also show the world Dragon’s military strength, so Yang Chen is so confident that he can help the Sand Country get that equipment.

Soon the crew prepared for takeoff, and the captain officially set sail after confirming with the tower.

When Anubis arrived at the airport, the plane had just passed over his head.

Anubis stomped his feet angrily as he watched the plane fly by.

“Yang Chen, you are too much, you just took my daughter away! I must sue you, I will go to your embassy to sue you now!” Anubis shouted at the plane.

Watching the plane fly higher and higher, Limanda’s anxiety finally subsided.

She waved happily at the window and said, “Goodbye Riyadh [capital city of Saudi Arabia, used here to represent the Sand Country], Dragon, I’m coming!”

“Well… then how will you live in Dragon?” Yang Chen asked.

Limanda: “I brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry, enough for me to live for quite a long time. If I really can’t make it, then I’ll marry a Dragon person, so I can stay in Dragon forever, right?”

Yang Chen: “Haha… You’ve thought it through so well. But I think your idea may not be easy to realize, your dad will definitely contact the embassy and ask me for you. I can only try to delay it as much as possible because you lost so much money to me, but I can’t guarantee that I can keep you.”

Limanda: “I understand! I am very grateful that you can take me to Dragon. As for whether I can stay in Dragon, that is my own ability, I dare not ask you to help me anymore.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded. “It’s good that you can think so. I’m going to sleep for a while, you can do whatever you want.”

Limanda nodded, happily looking at the scenery outside the window, and began to imagine her beautiful life in Dragon.
