How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 474

Mouthy People Have to Pay the Price. What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Huang Qiqi was frightened by Yang Chen’s words. He actually had so many investments and shares in so many famous companies.

So, the question is, how could such an impressive person be driving a ride-hailing car?

And looking at the driver’s profile, he had completed over a thousand rides.

How could such an impressive person have so much time to drive for a ride-hailing service?

Or, conversely, how could a ride-hailing driver have the capital to invest in so many ventures?

Huang Qiqi: “Big brother, are you kidding me? These investments you mentioned don’t align with the job you’re doing now.”

Yang Chen: “Who doesn’t have a side hustle? My side hustle happens to be driving a ride-hailing car.”

Huang Qiqi nodded and said, “Okay! I’ll call those two girls over, and the three of us will provide you with the evidence.”

Yang Chen nodded, started the car, and continued driving.

Huang Qiqi hurriedly called the two victims, urging them to bring the evidence to her place.

Half an hour later, Yang Chen dropped Huang Qiqi off at her destination.

Yang Chen parked the car and followed Huang Qiqi to her house to wait.

About an hour later, the two girls arrived together.

Huang Qiqi introduced Yang Chen to them and asked, “Do you two want the scumbag to pay for what he’s done?”

The two girls nodded and quickly explained their respective situations to Yang Chen.

Ayi Xiamu is from Xinjiang Province, possessing a striking beauty reminiscent of [Dilraba Dilmurat, a famous Uyghur actress]. She had an abortion because of Li John.

At that time, Li John went to Xinjiang Province to perform, and Ayi Xiamu, who was working as a staff member, caught Li John’s eye. He used his fame and money to seduce her.

About two months later, Li John returned to Xinjiang Province for another performance and successfully slept with her, resulting in her pregnancy.

Li John already had a girlfriend, Huang Qiqi, and only saw Ayi Xiamu as a casual fling, so naturally he refused to take responsibility. She was left with no choice but to secretly have an abortion while the pregnancy was still in its early stages.

Since then, she had been trying to come to Beijing to confront Li John and demand an explanation.

Later, she connected with another girl in Li John’s fan group, Zhang Xue, who was also dumped by Li John after he took her virginity.

To put it bluntly, she embodies a rebellious style, adorned with studs, tattoos, and various elements that might be considered unconventional.

However, these are simply personal preferences and expressions of freedom. While others may not appreciate or associate with them, it doesn’t justify mistreatment.

When Li John was pursuing her, he praised her individuality, but after sleeping with her, he claimed he couldn’t accept her style and cut off contact.

Furthermore, he tricked her into stealing money from her family to “invest” in him, amounting to about 200,000 yuan [approximately $28,000 USD].

It’s one thing for a man to spend a little money, but this was utterly distasteful.

Sleeping with someone and then shirking responsibility, simply walking away, is incredibly disgusting.

Even if he emulated Wang Nianming [likely a reference to a playboy figure], changing girlfriends every month, as long as he handled the breakups properly, none of those girls would speak ill of him, and no one would consider him a bad person. Many might even envy that kind of lifestyle and admire his charisma.

But what was Li John doing?

He was purely using people for sex, and even swindling money, reaching new depths of depravity.

Yang Chen: “Gather all the evidence and give it to me. I’ll help you

Mouthy People Have to Pay the Price. What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (2)

get justice.”

The three nodded and hurried to the bedroom to collect the evidence.

Huang Qiqi’s injuries needed to be photographed, along with her transfer records to Li John, etc.

Zhang Xue had to document the 200,000 yuan she stole from her family for Li John, screenshotting and organizing the transfer records.

They also gathered the message records Li John sent them, which served as solid proof of their relationships with him.

Before they knew it, an hour had passed. Yang Chen was getting tired of sitting and got up to stretch.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Li John walked in with his rap circle buddies.

They were immediately stunned to see Yang Chen in the room.

Li John sneered and said, “I was wondering why she broke up with me. Turns out she has a new lover. And she even made excuses about me cheating, but she’s the one cheating. How can she have the nerve to accuse me? When did you two start? You’re cuckolding me, aren’t you?”

Yang Chen: “Didn’t you two break up?”

Li John: “We just broke up today, and you couldn’t wait to move in? You’re treating the woman I’m tired of like she’s a treasure. Haha…”

Li John’s companions also laughed.

“Never been with her, might be fun to try.”

“Stop talking, I want a turn too.”

“Damn, you’re going too far, but you spoke my mind.”

“Haha…”

As expected, birds of a feather flock together. None of these people possess normal morals.

Hearing the commotion, Huang Qiqi and the other two emerged from the bedroom.

Instantly, Li John’s expression changed.

Zhang Xue: “Scumbag! I finally found you! I can overlook you playing with my feelings and taking my virginity, but you have to return the 200,000 yuan you swindled from me. That’s my parents’ hard-earned money. You can’t deny it.”

Ayi Xiamu: “I had an abortion because of you, and my family has disowned me. You must pay the price!”

Li John: “Why are you all here? What’s going on? Are you trying to gang up on me?”

Huang Qiqi: “Spreading false information is slander. Simply exposing your disgusting behavior isn’t slander. Now that you’re famous, if we don’t reveal your true colors, more girls will fall victim to you. The three of us will just consider ourselves screwed by a dog. We definitely can’t let you continue to harm other girls.”

Li John often bragged about his conquests in front of his friends, detailing which girl he slept with, how young she was, whether she was a virgin, etc.

They often competed with each other to see who slept with more girls and who had the highest “quality,” and they all knew each other’s exploits.

They bragged, but they knew in their hearts that these things couldn’t be exposed. Once revealed, they would either be ostracized from the circle or face legal consequences. There was a precedent for this. A top-tier young idol was jailed due to personal conduct issues.

So, hearing that Huang Qiqi and the other two were going to expose Li John’s affairs, not only was Li John nervous, but his companions were also anxious, fearing they would be implicated.

Li John: “What do you want to do? I finally became popular. Do you have to ruin me? Is he instigating you to expose me? Damn it, who are you to instigate them to expose me? Who the hell are you?”

Yang Chen: “Watch your damn mouth. Show some respect when talking to your elders! Oh,

Mouthy People Have to Pay the Price. What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

no, if I had a son like you, I’d have to question my life choices. Why didn’t I just abstain and spare the world from such a rotten thing like you.”

Li John and the others flew into a rage and immediately moved to attack Yang Chen.

Huang Qiqi immediately stood in front of Yang Chen and warned, “I advise you not to mess around. He is the boss of Xingchen Investment. The Xingchen Investment boss who is constantly in the news for dominating the US banking industry. He is also the boss of Xingchen Technology Group, the one who donated quantum chips to the country. He also has shares in Ali Baba [Chinese multinational technology company], Tencent [Chinese multinational technology and entertainment conglomerate], ByteDance [Chinese multinational internet technology company], Yida Group, and many other major companies. If you dare to touch him, you can expect to go to jail.”

Li John and the others were shocked and quickly scrutinized Yang Chen.

After a few seconds, Peng Jiwan, who was also a rapper, said, “Why does he look so familiar? I think I’ve seen him somewhere. It must be a movie, yes, definitely a movie. I can’t quite place it.”

Li John: “A movie? Are you sure it’s a movie?”

Peng Jiwan: “Yes! I’m sure it’s a movie. Oh, right, the ride-hailing driver who starred with Andy Lau [Hong Kong actor and film producer] in ‘Lost and Love’ [2015 Chinese film]. Haha… Yes, it’s him! I remember, he played himself.”

Li John and the others immediately searched online for the video of “Lost and Love”, but all the shots of the ride-hailing driver were blurred, or only showed his side and back, without a clear frontal view.

However, judging from the available angles, it did resemble the handsome guy in front of them, especially his build and aura were strikingly similar.

Li John laughed and said, “Huang Qiqi, are you being fooled by him, or are you trying to fool me? He’s just a ride-hailing driver. You’re talking about him like he’s a god. You don’t even use your brain to think about it. How could one person have so many shares in major companies? Do you know how much money that is? I know the rich list better than you. You’re impressive, I’m just using my real identity to cheat for sex, but you’re so ruthless, fabricating such an unrealistic identity to deceive them.”

Peng Jiwan: “Haha… These women are really gullible, their IQs are too low. If you don’t take advantage of them, someone else will. Why let others have the fun? It’s better for you to sleep with them.”

“Haha…”

Yang Chen rarely resorts to violence, but he couldn’t restrain himself today.

He immediately whistled, and his bodyguards rushed in.

“Slap their mouths, fifty times each!” Yang Chen said angrily.

The bodyguards immediately sprang into action, and Li John and the others were restrained without a chance to resist. The sounds of slaps, shouts, and curses filled the room.

Of course, they only cursed initially. After twenty slaps, they began begging for mercy.

But Yang Chen’s order was fifty slaps. Without completing the full count, the bodyguards wouldn’t dare to stop.

Huang Qiqi quickly asked, “Big brother, who are these people?”

Yang Chen: “My bodyguards. Wouldn’t it be dangerous for someone of my status to go out without protection?”

Huang Qiqi looked shocked. What he said made sense.

Zhang Xue: “Then are you a ride-hailing driver, or the boss and shareholder of those companies?”

Yang Chen: “Both.”

Ayi

Xiamu: “Then you’re incredibly amazing. Although I don’t know how powerful Xingchen Investment and Xingchen Technology are, I know that Ali Baba, Tencent Technology, ByteDance, and Yida Group are all super behemoth companies. You have shares in them?”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I simply can’t stand these people, so I’m helping you. There’s no need to lie about something like this. You can trust me. Of course, if you don’t believe me, I can leave now. I definitely won’t force myself to stand up for you.”

Huang Qiqi: “No, no… Big brother, don’t misunderstand. We don’t mean we don’t believe you. It’s just that we’re ordinary people and we have limited knowledge. We can’t imagine how a person can be so powerful and have shares in so many large groups at the same time.”

Ayi Xiamu and Zhang Xue also nodded quickly.

By this time, the bodyguards had completed the fifty slaps.

The cheeks of Li John and the others were red and swollen, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths and noses.

“Li John, say something for me to hear,” Yang Chen said.

Li John: “Big brother, don’t hit me, I know I was wrong, please don’t hit me. I’m an artist with Qingfeng Era, and the boss is Wang Cheng. Big brother, for the sake of my boss, please don’t hit me.”

Peng Jiwan: “I’m an artist with Modern Era, my boss is Gao Yu, he has a lot of connections in the Beijing circle, big brother, please don’t hit me.”

The others also quickly reported their brokerage companies, hoping to intimidate Yang Chen with their connections.

Damn it, they all belong to third-rate brokerage companies, and the artists of these companies are heavily reliant on the internet. They can’t get on TV at all. Once the internet blocks these artists, all these companies will be forced to close down.

And the internet in Dragon Country is mainly controlled by Tencent Technology, Ali Baba, ByteDance, Baidu Group [Chinese multinational technology company], etc., and Yang Chen has shares in these companies. Blocking them is as simple as a message from Yang Chen.

If it were three or five years earlier, when Yang Chen was more impulsive, he would have destroyed all these companies regardless of the consequences.

Now that he has matured, he has learned to control his temper. He only targets those who offend him. He usually chooses to give a way out to those who haven’t wronged him.

Yang Chen: “The companies you mentioned are insignificant to me. I don’t need to give your bosses any face. I also have Xingchen Entertainment under my name. If I just release a project and promote a star, wouldn’t that overshadow you and your works? How many famous directors and stars are begging to film the dramas invested in by my Xingchen Entertainment Company? Whether it’s from a professional or influence perspective, are your economic companies and bosses worthy of me giving face? Get out! Don’t harass these three again in the future, otherwise I won’t just target you, your families will also be affected. In addition to what she said, I am also the chairman of Xingchen Defense. You better not make me use the power of Xingchen Defense to deal with you and your families.”

After speaking, Yang Chen called Cheng Leyun, the vice president of Tencent, who is in charge of the entertainment sector.

Yang Chen: “President Cheng, block Li John, Peng Jiwan, Chen Aiji, Li Leiguang, and Gao Hengyuan. If their brokerage companies dare to complain, block their entire companies as well. In addition, issue an announcement

Mouthy People Have to Pay the Price. What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

stating that their songs are too vulgar and should be banned by the entire industry.”

Cheng Leyun: “Understood, I will immediately call the Tencent Video and Film Department to take action. Did they offend you?”

Yang Chen: “These people are morally bankrupt. They exploit young girls’ bodies and feelings, cause them to have abortions, and even swindle their parents’ hard-earned money. They are simply inhuman. I have already collected the evidence and will expose it tomorrow.”

Cheng Leyun: “Okay, okay. Then I will immediately order them to issue an announcement overnight.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen called President Zhang of ByteDance, President Li of Baidu Group, President Ma of Ali Baba, etc., and asked them to completely block Li John and his associates.

After making the calls, Yang Chen said to Huang Qiqi and the others, who were still in shock, “Give me the evidence, and the world will know tomorrow. Just wait to watch the news.”

Huang Qiqi and the other three snapped out of it and hurriedly nodded and ran back to the bedroom to hand over the sorted evidence to Yang Chen.

At that moment, his cousin Li Xiaofei called.

Li Xiaofei: “Brother, where are you? I’m at SKP [upscale shopping mall in Beijing]. I’m a little tired from shopping. Can you come pick me up?”

Yang Chen: “Okay, but it will take about half an hour to get there. Wait for me in a crowded place.”

Li Xiaofei: “Okay. Waiting for you.”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Chen took the evidence and left.

Huang Qiqi and the other three quickly ran out to see Yang Chen and the bodyguards into the elevator. Watching the elevator doors close, the three looked at each other, still reeling from what had just happened.

Yang Chen had actually called the heads of those major companies in front of them and directly ordered the blocking of Li John and his group, and those bosses had agreed without hesitation. This was enough to prove that he held shares in these companies, right?

And judging from the tone of those big shots, Yang Chen must hold a significant amount of shares.

Ayi Xiamu: “Great, we can finally get our revenge.”

Zhang Xue: “This kind of scumbag should have his true face exposed to the world, otherwise more girls will be harmed by him in the future. No, it should be harmed by them. From their words, we can tell that they are all the same.”

Huang Qiqi: “God has eyes and allowed me to meet Brother Yang tonight. If it weren’t for him, with just the few of us, we would never have been able to make the scumbag pay in this lifetime. Let’s go, go in and kick them out. You all stay here with me tonight, and we’ll wait to watch the news tomorrow.”

Ayi Xiamu and Zhang Xue nodded, and the three returned to Huang Qiqi’s rented apartment.

Meanwhile, Li John and his companions were sitting in a daze, covering their faces.

They knew they had caused a major disaster, and this time it was likely that even divine intervention wouldn’t save them.

Huang Qiqi: “Why is it so quiet? Aren’t you usually so loud and vulgar? Do you think everyone is as rotten and uneducated as you? Brother Yang is right, the songs you trash write are full of vulgar language and should be banned. Brother Yang also said that if you don’t know how to write songs, you can learn from Jay Chou’s [Taiwanese musician] ‘Compendium of Materia Medica’ [song]. Rap songs can also be written so beautifully. If you really can’t learn it, just go drive a ride-hailing car like him. Don’t be an embarrassment, polluting people’s ears, not to mention leading the children astray. Look at how many people with only high school degrees are learning those dirty songs from you. You are simply conscienceless and harmful to society. Do you know that?”

If it were before being slapped by Yang Chen’s bodyguards, if Huang Qiqi had dared to say these words, Li John would have definitely strangled her and verbally abused her.

But at this moment, he lacked the courage to retort.

Ayi Xiamu: “Thank God, thank God for sending Brother Yang.”

Zhang Xue: “The wicked will be punished by heaven. Your good days are over. It’s time to pay the price for your actions.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li John’s boss, Wang Cheng, called him.

Li John answered the phone tremulously and said with a guilty conscience, “Hello, President Wang. What’s the matter?”

Wang Cheng: “What the hell did you do? Why did Tencent, Douyin [Chinese version of TikTok], Kuaishou [Chinese video-sharing mobile app], Xiaohongshu [Chinese social media and e-commerce platform], Baidu, and iQiyi [Chinese online video platform] take down all your videos? What the hell did you do to violate the rules?” (Baidu Group is the major shareholder of iQiyi)

Li John: “Ah? It’s that serious!”

Peng Jiwan next to him also received a call from his boss, Gao Yu.

Gao Yu: “Xiao Peng, what did you do outside? Why did Tencent, Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Baidu, and iQiyi take down all your videos? What the hell did you do to violate the rules?”

Well, as expected of the bosses of these two scumbags, they speak the same way, not a single word different.

I don’t know if it’s a case of like employees, like bosses, or if certain employees are simply drawn to certain types of bosses.

Subsequently, the other people also received notifications from their bosses that they were almost completely blocked from the entire network.
