How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 492

The rich wife realized her lie was about to be exposed, so she quickly hung up the phone, feigning a bad signal.

Her original intention was to prove to her husband that even if she was older and not as attractive as before, she could still attract a younger, handsome man. However, she didn’t expect this ride-hailing driver to have such an extraordinary background.

*Who exactly is Yang Chen?*

“Forget it,” she thought, “I should deal with the scumbag and the mistress first, and then investigate Yang Chen’s identity later.”

Kang Xiong and the mistress hurriedly got dressed, then walked hand in hand to Chen Lingling, the rich wife.

“Why did you suddenly come back? Weren’t you out drinking?” Kang Xiong asked, acting indifferent.

Chen Lingling: “I’m done drinking. My ‘boyfriend’ is too strong. If I spend any more time with him, my old back will be broken. You guys continue, don’t mind me. Bitch, is my bed comfortable?”

The mistress sneered dismissively, not saying a word.

Kang Xiong asked with a surprised expression, “You have a boyfriend? Who is it?”

Chen Lingling: “I posted it on WeChat Moments [a social media function similar to a Facebook wall], can’t you see for yourself?”

Just as she finished speaking, Kang Xiong’s good buddy Zhang Hua called.

Zhang Hua: “Damn! Bro, what’s going on? Are you really getting a divorce?”

Kang Xiong was dumbfounded and asked, “No! Who told you I’m getting a divorce?”

Zhang Hua: “Lingling posted on WeChat Moments that she’s dating Yang Chen. What does that mean? You’re not divorced, but Lingling caught Yang Chen’s eye?”

Kang Xiong: “Yang Chen? Which Yang Chen? That Yang Chen from Starlight Technology?”

Zhang Hua: “Yeah. We saw him at Tsinghua University [a prestigious Chinese university] a few days ago, I wouldn’t mistake him.”

Kang Xiong quickly opened WeChat Moments to check, and the young man in the photo with his wife was indeed Yang Chen.

Kang Xiong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“Bro, congratulate me, I’m about to take off!” Kang Xiong said excitedly, then hung up the phone.

Kang Xiong couldn’t help but laugh, then said to the mistress, “Get lost, and don’t contact me again.”

*What a scumbag!*

He was saying sweet words while they were in bed, but after only a short while, he turned his back on her.

“What do you mean? Were all those things you said in bed just bullshit?” the mistress asked angrily.

Kang Xiong: “It was just acting, just for fun, did you really take it seriously? You didn’t lose out either. I bought you so many brand-name clothes and bags. You could sell them for ten years and still not make that much money. Alright, hurry up and leave, or I’ll call the police and have you arrested.”

“Kang Xiong, you bastard, you scum! You’ll die a horrible death!” the mistress cursed angrily, then grabbed her bag and left.

Kang Xiong was truly shameless, acting as if nothing had happened. He quickly pulled his wife to sit down and even poured her a glass of milk very attentively.

“Wife, drink some milk. You must be tired from ‘playing’ with President Yang tonight. Let me give you a massage. You should rest well and go see President Yang early tomorrow,” Kang Xiong said in a servile manner.

Chen Lingling was dumbfounded, feeling a little confused about what this scumbag was thinking.

*Why did he seem so excited?*

At this moment, Kang Xiong’s phone rang again, and Chen Lingling’s phone also rang.

They quickly answered the calls. Their friends were all confirming with them whether Chen Lingling was really with Yang Chen.

Chen Lingling was a little embarrassed to answer, but Kang Xiong said very proudly, “Of course it’s true, would we joke about something like this? Why would I be upset? It’s my honor that President Yang has taken a liking to my wife. Haha… Don’t worry, we’re all brothers. If I become successful, I definitely won’t forget you. Lingling ‘played’ with President Yang all night and is very tired now. I have to give her a massage and let her go see President Yang early tomorrow. Haha… Okay, okay, if I get a bite of meat, you’ll definitely get a sip of the soup. Bye.”

Chen Lingling understood that Kang Xiong really wanted her to have a relationship with Yang Chen so that he could get benefits from Yang Chen.

“Slap!”

“Despicable! Shameless! Disgusting! You’re not a man! You have no bottom line!” Chen Lingling slapped Kang Xiong and cursed angrily.

Kang Xiong’s eyes flashed with intense murderous intent, but then he returned to normal.

“Hehe… Say whatever you want, as long as you can keep Yang Chen happy and get him to give me some project collaborations, you can curse me ten thousand times a day,” Kang Xiong said shamelessly.

Kang Xiong bringing the mistress to mess around in the master bedroom was enough to prove that he no longer had any feelings for Chen Lingling.

To put it bluntly, Chen Lingling’s position in his heart might not even be as good as a stranger.

Since that’s the case, why not take advantage of her to get some benefits?

Anyway, he would never touch her again. Letting her bring some high-quality projects to the family’s company was a worthwhile consideration no matter how he looked at it.

“Don’t let good girls down, don’t waste bad girls.”

This means that even if a girlfriend is terrible, some people won’t break up with her. They can treat her as a tool, play with her ruthlessly, vent on her, and trample on her as much as they want, but they will never marry her in the end.

Kang Xiong’s mentality was similar to this. Don’t waste a woman you no longer have feelings for, treat her as a tool to make money.

Don’t even mention her having a relationship with Yang Chen, even if he had to let her accompany other people, as long as there were enough benefits, Kang Xiong wouldn’t hesitate at all.

Chen Lingling understood Kang Xiong’s thoughts and wanted to slap him again, but he grabbed her wrist.

“One slap is enough, are you addicted? Just listen to me and get more projects for the company from Yang Chen. We won’t get divorced, you play your way, I play my way, and we don’t interfere with each other. How about it?” Kang Xiong said shamelessly.

Chen Lingling: “You’re dreaming! I want to divorce you!”

Kang Xiong: “We signed an agreement before we got married. If you take the initiative to file for divorce, you won’t be able to take a penny with you. Have you forgotten?”

Chen Lingling was a mistress who rose to power. In order to successfully marry Kang Xiong and become a rich wife, she did sign such a prenuptial agreement.

Rich people are all shrewd. For example, a certain big shot had his assets notarized before getting married, and he only receives a salary of one yuan [approximately 14 US cents] per year. If his wife dares to divorce him, she can only get this one yuan salary. But in reality, the shares he holds are worth hundreds of billions.

Women will definitely be willing to sign such an agreement in order to rise to the top.

If the two of them live in peace, that’s fine. But once there’s a problem, the woman won’t dare to mention divorce no matter how wronged she feels, because once she divorces, she’ll have nothing. Being a confused person allows her to continue enjoying wealth and luxury.

Kang Xiong had a firm grasp on this point of Chen Lingling’s, so he didn’t care about her feelings at all. He even brought the mistress to mess around in the master bedroom, knowing that she wouldn’t dare to file for divorce.

Chen Lingling was almost driven to death, but she couldn’t deny the prenuptial agreement she had signed herself.

Chen Lingling calmed down and her mind raced.

At this time, she should give up any illusions and try to fight for as many benefits for herself as possible, so that she wouldn’t end up with nothing even if she divorced in the future.

“I can agree to your request and get projects from Yang Chen. But now I want you to give me 10 million yuan [approximately 1.4 million USD] in cash as a gift. I can’t work for nothing and end up with not a single penny, right? If you agree, I’ll do it. If you don’t agree, then forget it,” Chen Lingling said very shrewdly.

Kang Xiong wasn’t stupid either and wouldn’t accept such conditions.

However, in order to stabilize Chen Lingling, he still agreed to give her 2 million yuan [approximately 280,000 USD] first as a token of his appreciation. He would give her another 8 million yuan [approximately 1.12 million USD] after she got a substantial project from Yang Chen.

Chen Lingling’s current thought was to get as much as she could. 2 million yuan was still good.

“Okay! Give it to me!” Chen Lingling said.

Kang Xiong: “I’ll transfer the money to you tomorrow when the bank opens. You should go rest now and take care of your skin so you can better ‘handle’ Yang Chen.”

Chen Lingling glared at Kang Xiong with disgust and went to the guest room in anger.

She would never touch the bed that the mistress had slept in.

At this time, Yang Chen received a message from Qiu Hongqiang.

“Mr. Yang, Chen Lingling posted a photo of you and her on WeChat Moments and claimed that you are her boyfriend.”

Yang Chen was dumbfounded and quickly clicked on the screenshot sent by Qiu Hongqiang. The content was Chen Lingling’s WeChat Moments post.

“Damn! This woman has a problem!” Yang Chen immediately cursed angrily.

If this WeChat Moments post continued to spread, how would Yang Chen face people?

Even if he had no standards, he couldn’t want a married woman in her forties.

This wasn’t just a problem with his taste, but also with his character.

Yang Chen immediately called Pony Ma [CEO of Tencent, the company that owns WeChat and QQ] and said, “Pony Ma, quickly re-block my photos and videos.”

Pony Ma laughed and said, “I also saw someone screenshot Chen Lingling’s WeChat Moments in my WeChat Moments. I thought you had changed your taste.”

Yang Chen: “Changed my ass! Damn it, re-block my photos and videos on WeChat and QQ WeChat Moments and tell them to do it immediately.”

Previously, Yang Chen had asked the entire internet to block his photos and videos, but Lin Yiren and the others often wanted to post Yang Chen’s photos. Every time they posted, they were blocked, which was very inconvenient.

Yang Chen felt that the spread of QQ Space [a social media platform] and WeChat Moments was limited, and he also doted on his girlfriends very much, so he asked WeChat and QQ to relax the restrictions on his photos and videos to make it easier for his girlfriends to upload photos to QQ Space and WeChat Moments.

Everything had been fine for the past six months, but he didn’t expect to be disgusted by Chen Lingling in this way.

Not long after, Lin Yiren called Yang Chen.

“Ah Chen, this is terrible, my account has been hacked. The photos I uploaded to my QQ album are gone, and the photos in my WeChat Moments have also disappeared. Please ask someone to help me check it out. It would be troublesome if they stole my money,” Lin Yiren said anxiously.

Yang Chen was amused by this silly and cute girlfriend and quickly comforted her, “Don’t be nervous, you haven’t been hacked. I asked President Ma to order the re-blocking of my photos and videos.”

Lin Yiren: “Ah? Why? I can’t store so many photos on my phone, it’s safer to store them in the album. Why are they blocked again?”

Yang Chen: “A passenger posted a photo of her and me on WeChat Moments, pretending to be my girlfriend, making everyone think I’ve changed my taste and like women in their forties. I’m so embarrassed, let’s just block it to prevent people from using my photos to show off online in the future.”

Lin Yiren: “Hmm? There’s such a thing? That’s outrageous, who dares to pretend to be my husband’s girlfriend? Who is it, so shameless!”

Yang Chen: “You don’t know her. Forget it, let’s not talk about her. The ‘The Captain’ movie crew is coming to Aerospace University for promotion in a few days, are you coming?”

Lin Yiren: “Hehe… Do you want me to go? I’ll decide whether to go or not based on your wishes.”

Yang Chen: “Of course I want you to come. I haven’t heard your voice in a long time, I miss you so much.”

Lin Yiren: “I’ll go! You pervert. Since you miss me so much, I’ll reluctantly go.”

Yang Chen: “Okay, I’ll buy you more fruit to eat. I heard that if you eat a lot of fruit, your water will be sweet.”

Lin Yiren: “Aiya! You pervert, I’m not talking to you anymore. Disgusting. Then remember to buy more, it might not work if you eat too little. Hehe…”

After speaking, Lin Yiren immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, Wang Jiayi sent a message to Yang Chen.

“Hubby, what’s going on? Why are all the photos I posted on WeChat Moments gone? Aren’t you going to teach Penguin [nickname for Tencent, referring to their penguin logo] a lesson? If they dare to delete my photos with you today, they’ll dare to steal my account tomorrow.”

*Oh my god, this woman’s imagination is even richer than Lin Yiren’s.*

Then Yuan Xiaozao also sent a message asking about the photos…

Yang Chen was very busy, replying to messages one by one to explain the reason for re-blocking WeChat Moments.

At this time, the scumbag Kang Xiong and the slut Chen Lingling also noticed the abnormality. The photo Chen Lingling posted on WeChat Moments was gone, and the archive in the album was also deleted.

Kang Xiong hurriedly came to the bedroom and questioned, “What’s going on? Why did you delete the photo of you and President Yang?”

Chen Lingling: “I don’t know either. Not only is the photo in WeChat Moments gone, but the photos in my album are also gone.”

Kang Xiong didn’t give up and quickly snatched Chen Lingling’s phone to refresh it.

At this time, he discovered that Chen Lingling’s WeChat account had actually been blocked.

“Damn! Why is your WeChat account blocked?” Kang Xiong threw the phone back and asked.

Chen Lingling quickly opened it to check. The system reminded her that her account was suspected of sending false information and had been permanently banned.

At the same time, her QQ account also automatically logged out. When she tried to log in again, the system also reminded her that the account had been permanently banned.

“What’s going on? Why were my WeChat and QQ accounts blocked?” Chen Lingling asked with a shocked and confused expression.

Kang Xiong: “Damn it, what false information did you send? Oh, I know. You and President Yang aren’t in that kind of relationship, right? It must be because of this message that you were banned.”

Chen Lingling panicked and quickly called customer service to ask for the specific reason for the ban.

The customer service said very directly, “Because you are suspected of publishing false information and infringing on Mr. Yang’s portrait rights and reputation rights, the group has decided to permanently ban your account.”

Chen Lingling: “Can’t I even make a joke?”

Customer service: “Make a joke? What is your status that you dare to joke with Mr. Yang?”

Chen Lingling was stunned for a few seconds, then asked unwillingly, “Can I re-register with a different phone number?”

Customer service: “No! This ban is on your ID card. Unless you can change your identity, you will not be able to register an account on any platform under Penguin Group.”

Chen Lingling: “Is it that serious? Who is Yang Chen? I was just making a joke, does he have to be so ruthless?”

Customer service: “Sorry, I can’t tell you. Do you have any other questions? No? Then goodbye.”

The customer service hung up the phone directly, too lazy to waste time with someone who had been blacklisted by the entire group.

Before Chen Lingling could digest the customer service’s words, her Douyin [TikTok’s Chinese version], Weibo [Chinese Twitter], Kuaishou [short video platform], Red Book [Xiaohongshu, a social media and e-commerce platform], and even Baidu Tieba [online forum] accounts were all automatically logged out.

When she clicked to log in again, the system reminded her that the account had been permanently banned for violating regulations.

Chen Lingling was completely dumbfounded and cried, “Who exactly is Yang Chen? Isn’t he a ride-hailing driver? Why have so many platforms blacklisted me?”

Kang Xiong snatched her phone again and operated it for a while, then he angrily smashed the phone on the ground.

“Damn it, I thought you really got together with President Yang. I was ready to become successful, but you gave me this! You don’t even know who President Yang is, but you dare to pretend to be his girlfriend, you’re really courting death! He’s the boss of Starlight Technology Group, the one who contributed quantum chips to the country, how dare you try to take advantage of him?” Kang Xiong roared angrily.

Chen Lingling: “Are you still human? I’m your legal wife, do you really want another man to get me?”

Kang Xiong: “I don’t have any feelings for you anymore, I haven’t touched you in almost two years, why would I care about these things? If you can get me a partner like President Yang, I’ll cheer you two on from the side while you’re doing it. If President Yang doesn’t have the strength, I can push his ass. Do you have the ability to seduce him? Damn it! Useless! You tried to take advantage of President Yang, I can’t continue living with you no matter what, otherwise I’ll be implicated by you. Meet me at the Civil Affairs Bureau [government office for marriage and divorce] at ten o’clock tomorrow morning, I have to divorce you immediately!”

Kang Xiong threw down harsh words, grabbed his car keys, and left.

Chen Lingling: “Where are you going? Help me think of a solution!”

Kang Xiong: “I drove Xiao Qing away to coax you just now, I have to go coax her now. You caused this trouble yourself, find a way to solve it yourself, don’t implicate me!”

Chen Lingling looked at Kang Xiong’s departing figure and couldn’t help but cry loudly.

Retribution, retribution.

She was a mistress who rose to power and made another woman sad, and now another woman is a mistress who is making her sad.

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is a cycle.

If you don’t believe it, look up, heaven never spares anyone!

Chen Lingling stared blankly at the chandelier, not moving for a full half hour.

However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She quickly picked up her phone and opened the BEEP APP [ride-hailing app, similar to Uber or Lyft].

Her social media accounts were all blocked, but application platforms like BEEP and Taobao [online shopping platform, similar to Amazon] were not blocked.

She found the order where Yang Chen drove her home and randomly gave him a bad review.

“Since you’re so powerful, why do you still drive a ride-hailing car? Since you’re so powerful, why do you have to be so ruthless to an ordinary person like me? It’s wrong for me to try to take advantage of you, but putting that aside, aren’t you also at fault? If you didn’t hide your identity, would I be able to take advantage of you? It takes two to tango, why are you targeting me so much? Everyone, don’t let this driver pick you up, he is Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Technology. If you offend him, you will definitely not have a good ending. I hope the platform will remove him as soon as possible, don’t let him come out and harm people.”

She wrote a long review, but when she clicked to send the review, the review automatically disappeared. It wasn’t in her account’s review history, nor was it in Yang Chen’s review section.

*Eh?*

*What’s going on?*

*Could it be a network problem?*

So, Chen Lingling clicked on the review again, wanting to rewrite the review, but the system prompted her that she had already reviewed it and could not review it again.

“What’s going on? Since I’ve already reviewed it, why did the review disappear?” Chen Lingling muttered to herself in confusion.

She was just about to call customer service to ask what was going on when the account automatically logged out.

Chen Lingling frowned, vaguely feeling uneasy.

Sure enough, when she clicked to log in again, the system popped up a reminder that her account had been permanently banned for violating regulations.

“Damn it! BEEP has also banned me? Yang Chen, are you not giving people a way to live?” Chen Lingling shouted.

At this time, Yang Chen was about to go to sleep when the system issued a reminder.

“Congratulations to the host for receiving a bad review. The system rewards the host with [High-End CNC Machine Tool] technology, which will take effect immediately.”

In an instant, Yang Chen’s mind was in chaos, and after a while, it returned to normal.

At the same time, in the darkness, a large cardboard box appeared out of thin air, filled with various technical analyses and drawings.

Previously, Yang Chen was still worried about the precision manufacturing of CNC machine tools, and he also asked Yu Shishi to contact several foreign companies to discuss acquisitions or equity participation.

However, those foreign companies were unwilling for Yang Chen to participate in equity or acquire them, and were only willing to sell related technologies and products to Yang Chen.

Yu Shishi had many phone calls with them, and they could not be persuaded even with high prices.

Now that Yang Chen has the most advanced high-end CNC machine tool technology, the foreigners’ technology will be eliminated.

However, now that he has the technology and drawings, he needs to use his brain to figure out how to reasonably and safely hand over these technologies and drawings to the relevant field personnel.

After being happy for a while, Yang Chen went to sleep happily.

At this time, in a hotel far away in Jeju Island [a South Korean island].

A man covered in blood struggled to crawl out of the room. He tried hard to crawl towards the elevator, with blood gushing from under him.

Because he was too seriously injured and lost too much blood, he didn’t even have the strength to shout for help.

He crawled for more than three minutes and still hadn’t reached the 20-meter distance.

Just as he was about to reach the elevator entrance, he stopped moving.

After a while, the hotel security personnel discovered the abnormality through monitoring and immediately rushed over.

The man was lying in a pool of blood, and the security guard immediately reported the situation to the manager.

A few minutes later, the manager rushed over.

After calling out a few times without getting a response, the manager called the police and called an ambulance.

Then, the manager took people into the man’s room.

A young woman in the room was not wearing clothes and was lying face up in the bathtub, already without breath.

At the same time, in the chaos, a person mixed into the service staff and became one of the service staff.

Not long after, the Jeju Island police and doctors arrived.

The police immediately sealed off the scene. After the doctor’s examination, it was announced that both the man and the woman had died. Then the forensic doctor and the police began to investigate the scene.

At nine o’clock in the morning, Yang Chen woke up.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he ate bread while browsing the news.

At this time, a pop-up news item caught his attention.

“In a five-star hotel in Jeju Island, a man and a woman were killed, both of whom are Chinese. Currently, the local police are investigating the cause of death and related clues of the two victims. According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the man died of excessive blood loss from stab wounds, and the woman died of strangulation asphyxiation. We will continue to follow up and report on this case.”

“Alas… Foreign countries are not safe, our Dragon Country [China] is safe, what’s the point of running out for nothing,” Yang Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

At the same time, Huo Enguo received a call from the Jeju Island police.

Jeju Island Police: “Hello, this is the Jeju Island Police Station. Are you a family member of Huo Song?”

Huo Enguo: “Yes, I am Huo Song’s father.”

Jeju Island Police: “We regret to inform you that Huo Song was killed in a hotel room last night. He had 7 stab wounds on his body and died of excessive blood loss.”

Huo Enguo: “What?”

Huo Enguo fainted on the spot.

At this time, in the Wu family in Hangzhou [a city in China].

Family head Wu Zhen was eating breakfast and also received a call from the Jeju Island police.

Jeju Island Police: “Hello, this is the Jeju Island Police Station. Are you a family member of Wu Yuchen?”

Wu Zhen: “I am her father. What’s wrong?”

Jeju Island Police: “We regret to inform you that Miss Wu Yuchen was killed in a hotel room last night and died of strangulation asphyxiation.”

The bread in Wu Zhen’s hand fell, and he almost fell.

“How could this happen? I called her last night, wasn’t she having a good time playing in Jeju Island? Why was she suddenly killed?” Wu Zhen asked sadly.

Jeju Island Police: “This is not clear yet, we are investigating, and we will announce the news as soon as possible. Please come over immediately, we need you to deal with the remains and other issues.”

Wu Zhen endured the pain and said, “Okay… okay…”

“Asking for monthly tickets, there are still less than three hundred tickets left, and there will be a lottery next month. Bosses with tickets remember to give some, thank you.”
