How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 513

Yang Chen, I’m Going to Sue You at the City Hall—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

The students exchanged glances, a mixture of nervousness, excitement, and anticipation on their faces.

They hadn’t expected the handsome and refined Yang Chen to be so intimidating when angered. His aura was so powerful that his roar silenced the entire crowd of thousands.

Judging by Yang Chen’s demeanor, he was definitely going to confront Li Mengran’s family today.

Director Li was sweating nervously, thinking, “Why isn’t Principal Ge here yet! Something big is about to happen; I can’t handle this.”

As if answering Director Li’s silent plea, Principal Ge hurried over.

The students quickly made way, each with an excited smile, eager not to miss the spectacle.

“Student Yang, welcome back to visit our alma mater. Why didn’t you let us know? We could have prepared a welcome ceremony,” Principal Ge said with a smile.

Yang Chen: “Principal Ge, just leave and pretend you don’t see what’s happening. I definitely can’t let her get away with this today, so don’t get involved.”

Principal Ge looked embarrassed, unsure of what to say.

He couldn’t afford to offend either side, but this was the university he managed, and he couldn’t really pretend not to know. Besides, so many people had seen him arrive; it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave now.

Principal Ge quickly said, “Student Yang, let’s talk in my office. There are so many students watching; it’s not a good look.”

Yang Chen looked around and then nodded.

However, Li Mengran, particularly confident in her family background, especially enjoyed showing off in front of others, so she immediately said loudly, “We’re not going anywhere. We’re going to resolve this issue in front of everyone today.”

Principal Ge was speechless and quickly reminded her, “Student Li, please watch your words and actions. We’re going to talk in the office now; please control your emotions.”

Li Menglong quickly advised, “Little sister, let’s talk in the office. Don’t say anything more, understand?”

Li Mengran: “Why can’t I speak? Why should I go to the office? This bitch hit me in public; I must make her kneel down and apologize in public. No one can stop me today; she must kneel down and apologize to me.”

Li Xiaofei chuckled and said, “You think you’re worthy? I dare to kneel; dare you accept it?”

Li Mengran: “If you dare to kneel, I dare to accept it! Kneel!”

Yang Chen’s eyes gradually turned cold; it had been a long time since he had felt this way.

Perhaps Li Mengran’s powerful family gave her some reason to be arrogant.

But in front of Yang Chen, she had no right to be arrogant.

If he didn’t teach her a lesson today, she might actually find someone to beat up Li Xiaofei one day.

“Fine! Then today, we’ll see how Miss Li makes me kneel down and apologize to you. Principal Ge, you should leave and pretend you don’t know what’s happening,” Yang Chen said coldly.

Principal Ge was anxious and quickly said to the onlookers, “Alright, alright, everyone disperse, stop watching, go do what you need to do.”

Other teachers also hurried to disperse the onlookers.

This kind of scene was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the students were naturally unwilling to leave.

They retreated a little distance but still stared at the scene.

Principal Ge communicated with Li Menglong, asking him to quickly persuade Li Mengran not to be so willful.

Li Menglong was also a little angry and said to Li

Mengran, “Sister, stop being so willful; let’s talk in the office. If you continue to be so stubborn, I won’t care about you anymore. President Yang can do whatever he wants with you; it has nothing to do with us.”

As soon as Li Mengran heard this, she exploded and roared, “Li Menglong, is that what a brother should say? Your sister is being bullied, and instead of helping her, you’re threatening her; you’re really something.”

Wang Nianming chuckled and said, “Li Menglong, your sister doesn’t seem to respect you very much.”

Li Menglong glared at him and replied, “What does it have to do with you? Can you shut your stinky mouth? Annoying!”

Wang Nianming: “Damn! My mouth is below my nose; I can say whatever I want. Can you control me? You can’t even convince your sister, and you want to control me? Are you worthy?”

Damn, Li Menglong was really annoyed by Wang Nianming.

But he couldn’t do anything about Wang Nianming; he could only complain verbally.

Li Menglong grabbed Li Mengran’s arm and tried to drag her away.

Li Mengran simply sat on the ground. If Li Menglong tried to pull her forcefully, she would be exposed.

Li Menglong was furious and roared, “Enough! I’m saying it one last time, go to the office now! Did you hear me?”

Li Mengran: “No!”

Li Menglong slapped her, saying, “Don’t force me to get physical with you! He is Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Defense, get your head straight!”

Li Mengran: “You hit me! Wuwu… You actually dare to hit me! Since I was little, everyone in the family has treated me like a little princess; no one has dared to touch me. You actually dare to hit me in front of so many people! Li Menglong, listen to me, from now on you are no longer my brother. We are cutting ties, breaking off all relations!”

Li Menglong: “It’s because everyone spoils you that you’ve become like this. Can you use your brain a little? Do you really think our family is invincible in Hai City?”

Li Mengran: “I don’t want to talk to you; I don’t know you, get out!”

Wang Nianming couldn’t help but laugh, which angered Li Menglong.

“Can you shut up? Damn! You little brat, you really think I wouldn’t dare to touch you!” Li Menglong roared.

Wang Nianming immediately punched Li Menglong, cursing, “Who the hell are you cursing? You little brat, trying to scare your dad!”

Li Menglong immediately rushed up to fight Wang Nianming, but Yang Chen stepped forward and stood in front of him.

Li Menglong glared fiercely and roared, “It has nothing to do with you, get out of the way! Is it necessary to bully people like this? I’ve already given you enough face!”

Yang Chen: “He is my friend; of course, I have to protect him. As long as I’m here, don’t even think about touching him.”

Li Menglong: “He hit me just now; didn’t you see that?”

Yang Chen: “So what if he hit you? You want to hit back? Try to move in front of me today.”

Li Menglong gnashed his teeth, his hands clenched into fists. If looks could kill, he would have killed Yang Chen several times over.

But no matter how angry he was, he didn’t dare to retort even a single word.

The other rich kids nearby were all silent as cicadas in winter [噤若寒蝉, jìnrùohánchán, idiom for being silent out of fear]. Li Menglong was already scared like a turtle; they were even less worthy in front of Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, I’m Going to Sue You at the City Hall—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

Fortunately, they hadn’t disrespected Yang Chen in the slightest; otherwise, their fate would definitely not be good now.

Principal Ge and the others really didn’t know what to do now. Yang Chen was obviously serious, and they didn’t dare to advise him now. Li Menglong had suffered a great loss and was in a fit of anger, and they didn’t dare to advise him not to care.

Principal Ge really wanted to listen to Yang Chen’s advice and leave the scene as if he didn’t know what was happening.

It wasn’t that Yang Chen wanted to bully Li Menglong, but Li Mengran was really too damn arrogant. Anyway, he was definitely going to compete with the Li family today, so there was no need to save face for Li Menglong.

Besides, as an older brother who can’t control his sister, he deserved to be taught a lesson.

At this moment, several luxury cars drove over.

Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maybach, all top-tier luxury cars.

Li Mengran recognized them as her family elders’ cars at a glance, and she quickly ran up to greet them, crying.

“Wuwu… Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Aunt, you have to stand up for me. I was beaten, and my brother not only didn’t help me but also threatened me, and as a result, he was also beaten. Wuwu…”

It is human nature for parents to favor their own children.

Although the Li family didn’t want to create animosity [结怨, jiéyuàn] with Yang Chen, they were immediately angered when they heard Li Mengran say that she and her brother had been beaten.

Li Chuxiong quickly got out of the car, gave his daughter a hug, and comforted her, “Xiao Ran, don’t cry; Dad will definitely stand up for you.”

Li Mengran: “Wuwu… Dad… Wuwu…”

Grandpa Li Jianjun and Grandma Cao Guilan also quickly came over to comfort Li Mengran with heartache, and the old couple’s tears fell with heartache.

Second Uncle Li Chuzhou and Aunt Li Chuyun also quickly ran over to comfort Li Mengran. The whole family really treated her like a precious treasure [宝贝蛋, bǎobèidàn].

No wonder Li Mengran was so arrogant. She was born into a wealthy family, and her family spoiled her so much; it would be strange if she wasn’t arrogant.

Anyone who grew up in this environment would probably be as arrogant as her.

However, arrogance also depends on who you are arrogant to. Today she met Yang Chen, and she was destined not to be able to be arrogant.

At this time, the rich kids watching the show whispered.

“The Li family is all here; the old man is here; they’ve come out in full force.”

“Hey, hey, do you think Yang Chen can handle the Li family?”

“Nonsense! Although the Li family controls the infrastructure of Hai City, their strength is indeed very strong. But these are all state-owned assets; they are only managing them on behalf of the state; they don’t really own them; it’s the same nature as Baoli Group. Baoli has already yielded [怂了, sǒngle]; does the Li family still want to stir up trouble [翻朵花, fān duǒ huā, lit. turn over a flower, meaning to cause a stir or create trouble] in front of Yang Chen?”

“You can tell from Li Menglong’s reaction that he doesn’t want to escalate [闹僵, nàojiāng] things with Yang Chen either, but Li Mengran can’t recognize her own family’s strength and insists on confronting [硬刚, yìnggāng, slang for confronting head-on] Yang Chen. Gao Mu, it’s a good thing you ran fast; otherwise, you would have been implicated too.”

Gao Mu smiled awkwardly and didn’t speak.

They were right. If Gao Mu hadn’t been clear-headed and chose to break off relations with Li Mengran in time, he would have caused a big disaster today.

Li Menglong came to his family, his face was swollen from Wang Nianming’s punch.

Li Chuxiong asked through gritted teeth, “Who hit you?”

Li Menglong: “Wang Nianming.”

Li Chuxiong: “Wang Nianming? Why did he hit you?”

Li Menglong: “He laughed at me

Yang Chen, I’m Going to Sue You at the City Hall—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

, so I cursed at him. He punched me, and I wanted to hit back, but Yang Chen stopped me. I didn’t dare to act rashly, so as not to bring trouble to the family. I’ll wait for you to come and talk about it.”

Li Chuxiong gritted his teeth. Although he was very frustrated [窝囊, wōnang], his son’s choice was not wrong. Everything must be considered for the benefit of the family, and he must not act rashly.

Li Chuxiong walked towards Yang Chen aggressively.

Principal Ge and the others quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Wang Nianming whispered to Yang Chen, “Brother Chen, he is Li Menglong’s father, Li Chuxiong. The one next to him who is younger than him is his brother, Li Chuzhou, and the woman is his sister, Li Chuyun. The old man and the old lady are Li Menglong’s grandfather, Li Jianjun, and grandmother, Cao Guilan. The Li family mainly controls the gas and water business in Hai City, and they also have influence in urban development [Chengtou, 城投, refers to local government investment companies], and they also have a certain say in the investment promotion department. The reason why Li Mengran is so arrogant and doesn’t even take you seriously is mainly because the Li family has these backgrounds. You don’t have to be afraid of them; compared to Baoli, the Li family is far behind. Baoli has been subdued [服帖, fútiē] by you; it’s too easy for you to subdue another Li family.”

Yang Chen: “No matter who comes today, I will subdue [服帖, fútiē] Li Mengran.”

At this time, Qiu Yuhong sent a message to Yang Chen.

Earlier, during the chaos, Yang Chen sent a message to Qiu Yuhong ordering him to investigate the specific circumstances of the death of the Minister of External Relations of Hai City University of Finance and Economics after drinking.

Now Qiu Yuhong has found out a rough idea and sent the information after compiling [汇总, huìzǒng] it.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Mengran invited a group of student union members to a dinner at the Youth Restaurant. 12 people drank 5 bottles of Baijiu [白酒, báijiǔ, Chinese white liquor] and 3 boxes of beer.

According to the surveillance in the restaurant, Gao Yangyang, the Minister of External Relations, was drunk and collapsed [瘫软, tānruǎn] on the ground.

However, even in this situation, Li Mengran still held the wine bottle and forcibly stuffed [塞, sāi] it into Gao Yangyang’s mouth, forcing him to continue drinking.

This action was not only once but five times.

She forced beer [灌, guàn] for the first time, and all four times after that, she forced Baijiu [灌, guàn].

Even though Gao Yangyang had already begged for mercy [作揖, zuōyī, a traditional Chinese gesture of respect or begging], she still did not stop forcing him to drink [灌酒, guànjiǔ].

It was not until Gao Yangyang vomited that she was forced to stop.

After the dinner, a group of people took a taxi back to school.

Li Mengran met Gao Mu at the school gate, and then the two went to open a room.

Gao Yangyang, who rushed to the bushes to vomit as soon as he got out of the car, was ignored by everyone, and he never got up again.

If it was just a death from drinking, he would only bear civil liability for compensation.

However, Li Mengran still forcibly forced him to drink [灌酒, guànjiǔ] multiple times when Gao Yangyang was obviously drunk and collapsed [瘫软, tānruǎn] on the ground and only stopped when the other party vomited.

As the person who organized the gathering [局, jú], she also failed to fulfill her obligation to escort him, causing Gao Yangyang to die of alcohol poisoning.

It seems, maybe, it can be leaned towards the direction of intentional injury. As long as it leans on, it is a criminal offense.

Yang Chen sent the information to Zhang Xiang, asking him to consider from a legal point of view whether this case can overturn the result and send Li Mengran towards the direction of intentional injury.

Zhang Xiang quickly read the information and sent a message back to Yang Chen.

“This is no problem; Li Mengran can be defined as intentional injury. It is best to let me see the surveillance video. If Gao Yangyang really has a begging for mercy action, Li Mengran ignores his begging for mercy action and continues to forcibly force him to drink [灌酒, guànjiǔ]; this can be directed towards intentional injury.

Yang Chen, I’m Going to Sue You at the City Hall—What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

Direction to sue. Did Gao Yangyang’s parents already sign a letter of understanding and receive compensation? If so, they have to stand up and say that the Li family and the school deceived and forced them to sign the letter of understanding. They return the compensation and apply to withdraw the letter of understanding, and the rest will be left to me. However, it may be a little difficult for them to give up the compensation they have already received.”

First, let’s see what the Li family’s attitude is. If they dare to argue [较真, jiàozhēn] with Yang Chen, Yang Chen doesn’t mind compensating Gao Yangyang’s family and letting them accuse Li Mengran of intentional injury.

Principal Ge and the others finished communicating with the Li family, and the Li family came to Yang Chen aggressively.

Li Chuxiong: “President Yang, Xiao Ran was just saying a few angry words [口嗨, kǒuhāi, slang for talking recklessly], and you slapped her in the face; do you think it’s appropriate?”

Yang Chen: “She is not qualified to talk recklessly [口嗨, kǒuhāi] in front of me. I don’t want to waste my time talking to you; tell me, how do you want to solve it?”

Li Chuxiong: “You hit my daughter and supported Wang Nianming to hit my son, and now you ask me how I want to solve it? I still want to ask you how you want to solve it.”

Li Chuzhou quickly said, “Alright, alright, it’s understandable for young people to be angry. President Yang, appease [哄哄, hōnghōng] Xiao Ran; let’s just forget about it. How about it?”

Yang Chen rolled his eyes and laughed coldly [呵呵, hēhē].

Wang Nianming immediately said, “Are you kidding me? Li Mengran called Chen Ge’s girlfriend a bitch; shouldn’t she be beaten? And you want Chen Ge to appease [哄, hōng] her; how can you say that?”

Li Chuzhou: “Wang Nianming, has anyone told you that you are really annoying!”

Wang Nianming: “So what? There are many people who hate me; who do you think you are?”

Li Chuzhou’s face turned red with anger. This kid is too much; even if Lao Wang came, he would have to be polite to Li Chuzhou, but he dared to say such a thing.

Li Menglong clenched his fists and said, “Wang Nianming, don’t ask for trouble [找不痛快, zhǎo bù tòngkuài] for yourself!”

Wang Nianming: “Stop scaring [吓唬, xiàhǔ] me; I can’t do anything to [奈何, nàihé] you, and you don’t even think about doing anything to [奈何, nàihé] me; try to move me.”

The Li family can’t deal with [搞过, gǎoguò] Yang Chen, but they are confident that they can deal with [搞过, gǎoguò] the Wang family.

The old man was cunning [老谋深算, lǎomóushēnsuàn] and decided to use a trick to divert the blame [祸水东引, huòshuǐdōngyǐn, lit. divert the flood to the east, meaning to shift the blame or trouble to someone else].

They don’t confront [硬刚, yìnggāng] Yang Chen; they confront [硬刚, yìnggāng] Wang Nianming.

The old man Li Jianjun immediately scolded [训斥, xùnchì] said, “What an arrogant kid; is that how your dad usually teaches you?”

Wang Nianming: “My dad taught me to be flexible in life and to use different attitudes and methods to treat different people. For example, when dealing with Chen Ge, we must be respectful and friendly. But for you, I don’t need to be polite.”

Li Menglong clenched his fists and was about to hit Wang Nianming, but Yang Chen immediately kicked him to the ground.

Yang Chen saw the Li family’s idea and naturally couldn’t let them get their wish.

With this kick, the Li family must fight to the death [死磕, sǐkē] with Yang Chen to the end.

Yang Chen: “Did I warn you just now, try to move in front of me. What, are you taking my words as a joke [耳旁风, ěrpángfēng, lit. wind by the ear, meaning to ignore or disregard]?”

Li Menglong was rolling back and forth on the ground, clutching his stomach. Yang Chen’s kick was not light; after all, his body had been enhanced [改造, gǎizào] by the system, the strongest combat power on the surface; even if it wasn’t a full blow, it wasn’t something Li Menglong could bear.

Li Chuxiong lost his mind when he saw his son being beaten.

He pointed at Yang Chen and roared, “Yang Chen, I’m going to sue you at the city hall!”

Yang Chen: “Okay! Then let’s go to the city hall to argue [掰扯掰扯, bāiche bāiche].”

After speaking, Yang Chen pulled Li Xiaofei into the car and sent a message to Zhang Xiang.

“I’ll take care of Gao Yangyang’s family; you prepare to send Li Mengran to prison.”

Then, Yang Chen sent another order to Qiu Yuhong.

“Find Gao Yangyang’s family, replace the compensation with our money, let them return the compensation, and say that the school and the Li family deceived and threatened them to win the settlement; let them withdraw the letter of understanding and sue Li Mengran for intentional injury.”

Qiu Yuhong quickly replied: Received, I’ll do it right away.

If he successfully sends Li Mengran to prison, she won’t be able to find someone to beat Li Xiaofei again, right?

Yang Chen drove away, and Wang Nianming quickly got into the car and chased after him.

The Li family also quickly got into the car and followed Yang Chen to the city hall to reason.

The Li family had originally discussed that they must remain restrained, strive to reconcile with Yang Chen, and avoid conflicts with him.

However, the Li family was usually used to being arrogant. When they saw that Li Menglong and Li Mengran were beaten, they instinctively wanted to protect them and had forgotten the previously agreed strategy of avoiding conflicts with Yang Chen.

Now they are even more impulsively going to the city hall to argue about right and wrong [争一个是非对错, zhēng yī gè shìfēi duìcuò] with Yang Chen, which is even worse.

Having reached this point, it’s not up to them to decide what they want; it all depends on what consequences Yang Chen wants to achieve.
