How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 422

“Land this plane! Now! I want to get off, I’m not flying anymore!” Lanshid shouted, extremely agitated.

The two bodyguards assigned by Aegis Security Group immediately reminded him to remain calm and stay seated.

But he was a prince, accustomed to giving orders, not receiving them.

“I’ll say it again, land immediately! I’d rather walk than ride in a plane owned by Yang Chen’s company!” Lanshid yelled.

Bodyguard: “Prince, I must warn you, please sit down and remain calm, or we will be forced to take measures to ensure the safety of everyone on board.”

Lanshid: “You dare! I am a prince! If you disrespect me in any way, I guarantee you will suffer the consequences. My personal guards will hunt you down forever!”

Bodyguard: “You’re welcome to try. If anything happens to me, the group will hunt you down until you’re dead. Prince, it’s wiser to cooperate and not try to intimidate Aegis Security Group with your usual tactics.”

Seeing the serious expressions and fierce looks of the two bodyguards, Lanshid realized they weren’t joking and reluctantly sat down.

Aegis Security Group’s bodyguards were not his personal guards or subordinates and wouldn’t indulge his whims.

Earlier, the sight of the ant-like crowds below, the dense buildings, and the vast sky had made Lanshid feel relaxed, but now the same scenery only made him feel irritated.

After a few moments of sullen silence, Lanshid suddenly had an idea.

Since Aegis Security Group was so powerful, why not buy it?

After buying it, he could move the headquarters to Jinbai, and then he could command these formidable bodyguards and mercenaries. (Jinbai is likely a reference to a region known for instability.)

That area was already turbulent, and controlling Aegis Security Group would be like controlling an armed force, one with top-notch intelligence and assassination capabilities. The thought alone was exciting.

Lanshid resolved to buy Aegis Security Group from Yang Chen later.

Soon, the helicopter landed safely on the rooftop of the Pangu Seven Star Hotel. Lanshid got off unhappily and, guided by staff and bodyguards, went to his room in a huff.

At this time, Yang Chen and Maya had finished their meal and were relaxing with some fresh juice.

Lanshid’s subordinate came over and respectfully invited, “Your Highness, Mr. Yang, the Prince requests your presence.”

Maya quickly swallowed her juice and asked, “My brother wants Chen to come too?”

Lanshid’s subordinate nodded and replied, “Yes, Your Highness. The Prince specifically requested that Mr. Yang accompany you.”

Maya excitedly said to Yang Chen, “Chen, did you hear that? My brother specifically asked you to come with me. He must be willing to accept you.”

This girl was too naive. There was no way Lanshid would accept Yang Chen so easily.

Although Yang Chen couldn’t guess what Lanshid was up to, he was sure it wasn’t acceptance.

“Hehe… let’s go together. Don’t keep your brother waiting,” Yang Chen said with a smile.

Maya happily nodded and quickly took Yang Chen’s arm as they went to the private room.

The two entered the private room, and Lanshid immediately greeted them with a smile, inviting them to sit down.

Maya happily ran over and asked, “Brother, have you accepted Chen?”

Lanshid: “Let’s eat first. I specially brought the royal chef. It’s been a while since you’ve had food made by the royal chef, right? Let’s eat first, then we’ll talk. Yang Chen, sit across from me.”

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and sat opposite Lanshid.

“Try the most expensive ham in the world. Iberian ham, each one takes ten years to make, and just one leg costs a thousand USD,” Lanshid said to Yang Chen.

Iberian ham, Yang Chen had eaten it countless times.

It was said that these black pigs were fed acorns from birth, giving the meat an acorn flavor, making the taste and texture top-notch.

Yang Chen said with a smile, “Thank you. Maya and I already ate before you arrived. You guys eat, I’ll just have some water.”

Lanshid chuckled and started eating on his own.

Maya had also eaten a lot earlier, but she ate a little more to avoid spoiling her brother’s mood.

About an hour later, Lanshid finished his meal.

The female bodyguard immediately helped him rinse his mouth and wipe his lips, and the waiter quickly cleared the table.

Lanshid looked at the accompanying financial staff and said, “Bring over the checkbook and pen.”

The financial officer quickly complied, placing the checkbook and pen on the table.

Lanshid pushed the checkbook and pen in front of Yang Chen and said, “I heard you control Aegis Security Group. I’m very interested in this company. Sell me your shares. Fill in how much money you want.”

Yang Chen laughed and said, “Are you serious? Why would I sell Aegis Security Group to you? Besides, even if I wanted to sell, you couldn’t afford it.”

Lanshid also laughed, saying confidently, “If you said I’m not good at other things, that might be true. But if you say I don’t have money, then you have a problem. Who doesn’t know we have oil underground? Even if I do nothing all day, the money I get is more than all your assets combined. Don’t worry, just name a price. As long as it’s not too outrageous, I can accept it.”

*This prick was really showing off.*

Yang Chen had a flash of inspiration and thought of a good way to deal with Lanshid.

“You want Aegis Security Group?” Yang Chen asked.

Lanshid: “Yes! You’re the controlling shareholder, so I just need to buy your shares.”

Yang Chen: “Then the price I’ll ask will be a bit high. After all, such a good company, I definitely won’t sell without a certain premium.”

Lanshid: “Haha… I said earlier, as long as it’s not too outrageous, I’ll definitely meet your demands. Go ahead, how much money do you want?”

Yang Chen: “Since you want to buy the shares, you must know how good this company is. So, it’s reasonable for me to ask for a high price. But, for Maya’s sake, I’ll ask for a little less. Immediately transfer 1 billion USD to my Swiss bank account, and I’ll transfer the shares of Aegis Security Group to you.”

Lanshid: “1 billion USD? Hmm, you are indeed greedy. That is indeed a huge sum of money. But, it’s nothing to me.”

They are worthless, there are no less than eight thousand of them, just a bunch of lazy bums. So what if he gets angry? We aren’t afraid of him anyway.”

Qiu Yuhong: “Haha… Mr. Yang is right, we aren’t afraid of him. By the way, let me report on the work. Star Defense Group is now officially operational, and all the original businesses and assets of Aegis Security Group are under Star Defense Group. As per your request, I’ve registered several subsidiaries to develop fighter jets, aircraft carriers, missiles, etc. However, we’re taking a big leap this time, from a security company to a military research and development company, so the risk is very high. You need to be prepared that if we lose money, it will be a lot. Hundreds of billions could disappear in the blink of an eye.”

Yang Chen: “My money is useless in the bank, so I might as well take it out to do scientific research and strengthen my own strength. If I lose money because of scientific research, I will definitely applaud. If it’s in the bank and can’t be used, then I’ll be upset.”

Qiu Yuhong understood Yang Chen’s meaning and said, “Okay! I know what you mean. Do you have any other instructions?”

Yang Chen: “No. I’m sleepy, I’m going to sleep. You’re busy.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen closed his eyes and took a nap in a good mood.

Yang Chen didn’t lack money at all. The reason he was willing to sell Aegis Security Group to Lanshid for 1 billion USD was because the current Aegis Security Group was just an empty shell.

As early as when Yang Chen was preparing to build an aircraft carrier battle group, he had already ordered Qiu Yuhong to establish Star Defense Group, transfer all the businesses and assets of Aegis Security Group to Star Defense Group, and add military research and development as its main business.

It’s just that Aegis Security Group’s business is all over the world, and it takes a long time to do all these things well.

A few days ago, Qiu Yuhong reported to Yang Chen that the preparations for Star Defense were nearing completion, and all that was left was to repaint the helicopters, armored vehicles, etc. of Aegis Security Group with the Star Defense logo. Aegis Security Group, which was already an empty shell, could be written off at any time.

Lanshid, this unlucky guy, just happened to be here. If he had come a day or two later, the helicopters, etc., might have already been repainted, and he wouldn’t have foolishly spent 1 billion USD to buy the controlling stake in Aegis Security Group.

Lanshid brought his sister to the hotel room and started a video chat with his parents.

The mother felt very sorry for Maya, crying and begging her to go home quickly and stop running around.

Although the father also felt sorry for Maya, he was more angry because Maya’s escape had caused him to lose face, especially since he couldn’t explain it to Maya’s fiancé, the old Prince Hillman.

Although both parents wanted Maya to go back, their ideas were different.

Before Maya had Yang Chen, she had already decided that she would rather die than marry Sherman [Likely a typo, should be Hillman].

Now that she had Yang Chen, she was even less likely to agree to this marriage.

“Father, Mother, please forgive me. I already have a boyfriend in Dragon Country [China], and I am already his woman. If I go back, I will die. If Father and Mother, and Brother, insist on forcing me to go back, then I will end my life here. Even if I die, I want to be closer to the person I love. I am very sorry for the kindness of Father and Mother in raising me. But I really can’t convince myself to marry an old man who is fifty years old. Father, Mother, Brother, I am only 23 years old, his age is even older than Father, how can I marry him? How will I live the rest of my life after I marry him? So, either cancel this marriage, or I will die here. Whether I do it myself, or Brother does it, can be chosen by Father and Brother,” Maya said very resolutely.

Father Hassanki angrily slapped the table and roared at Maya in the camera, “You damn well deserve to die! You have tarnished the honor of the royal family! You… you…”

The old man was very angry and a little out of breath.

Lanshid quickly said, “Father, don’t be angry, I will take care of everything. Trust me.”

Hassanki calmed down and said, “Son, I have two requirements. First, be sure to bring Maya back safely. Second, I want that man to pay the corresponding price for tarnishing the honor of the royal family.”

Lanshid: “Understood! Father, rest assured, leave this to me. You and Mother don’t worry about this side, just take care of yourselves.”

After speaking, Lanshid hung up the video call.

Maya immediately said to Lanshid righteously, “Brother, I can tell you very clearly, if you dare to touch Chen, you can only take my body back.”

Lanshid raised his hand to hit Maya, but because his subordinates were present, he didn’t hit her.

In that area, it was common for girls to be punished, even beaten to death, by their fathers and brothers for making mistakes.

In a civilized and rule-of-law country like Dragon Country, this phenomenon would definitely be considered incredible, but it was very normal in that area.

Therefore, Lanshid could definitely beat Maya at will, depending on whether he was willing to do so.

Lanshid waved his hand to send everyone else out, leaving only Maya to talk to him alone.

“Maya, Yang Chen doesn’t understand our customs and laws, you know very well. If you have that kind of relationship with him before marriage, I and Father have the right to execute you. However, you are my sister, and while no outsiders know about it, as long as you listen to me, I can save you. But, if you are stubborn, not only will you be finished, but Yang Chen will also be finished. His Aegis Security Group has been bought by me, he has no protection, and I can let the mercenaries of Aegis Security Group kill him at any time. Don’t you say you like him? Do you want to see him die at the hands of his former employees?” Lanshid threatened.

Maya quickly said, “Brother, I’ve been close to you since I was a child, and I think our relationship has always been very good. Can you really bear to watch me die in front of you? You know what kind of lives girls live in our area. I can now have a more equal life, why can’t you fulfill me? Here, I don’t have to cover my face, I can go out whenever I want, I can wear whatever clothes I want, I…”

This touched on matters of principle, and Lanshid couldn’t bear it any longer. He raised his hand and slapped Maya, scolding, “You bastard! You are betraying the country, betraying Allah [God in Islam]. You are extremely sinful and deserve to die!”

Maya was not afraid at all, closed her eyes, and said, “If Brother thinks I really deserve to die, then do it. I said just now, either fulfill me, or take my body back. Whether you do it, or I do it myself, you decide.”

Lanshid was furious and grabbed Maya’s neck.

Maya’s face gradually turned red, but she still closed her eyes and said nothing.

It could be seen that she was very determined. She would never go back to marry that old man, she would rather die than obey!

Lanshid, this idiot, was in a state of rage and didn’t know the severity of his actions, and he actually choked Maya unconscious.
