The Audacity, Giving You My Phone But You’re Too Scared to Look—What’s Wrong With a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?
Chen Xi couldn’t hold back upon hearing Zhao Juan’s unreasonable remarks.
“Zhao Juan, don’t go too far. You’re demanding to check someone’s phone based on a mere suspicion. Who do you think you are? Even if you want to check a phone, you need the police. Do you have the authority to enforce the law?”
Zhao Juan replied with a disdainful look, “If he didn’t secretly film me, he could simply open his photo album to prove his innocence. Why bother the police? The fact that he doesn’t dare to open the album for me to see means he has something to hide.”
Yang Chen: “Then what about you secretly taking 100 yuan from me and hiding it in your underwear? I demand you take off your clothes for us to see. If you don’t dare to take off your clothes to prove your innocence, then you have something to hide.”
“Haha…” The students laughed.
“Awesome! Fighting magic with magic!”
“Isn’t he just acting like a hooligan? Is opening a phone album the same as taking off clothes?”
“You’re not making any sense. Opening a photo album and taking off clothes are both violations of privacy. How are they not the same? Just because you suspect someone, you want to see their photo album? Well, I suspect you stole 100 yuan from me and stuffed it in your underwear. Take them off and show everyone.”
“Haha…”
Zhao Juan said, exasperated, “If you obediently open your phone album for me to see, I can let it slide no matter what the result. If you don’t show me, you’ll regret it! I’ll post it online later, and don’t come crying to me to take it down.”
Yang Chen: “My phone contains SSS-level secrets. You’re not qualified to view it. If you see it, you’ll probably spend the rest of your life in prison.”
Zhao Juan: “Oh, can you exaggerate even more? SSS-level secrets? Do you think you’re Einstein?”
Yang Chen: “Who cares about Einstein? If he were alive today, he’d have to call me ‘bro’ respectfully.”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed.
“Bro, I was supporting you using magic to fight magic, but you’re going too far by bringing up Einstein. I can’t support you anymore.”
“At least Einstein left behind some research results. What research results do you have?”
“He doesn’t have any research results. If he had any, why would he be here?”
…
Chen Xi: “Zhao Juan, either call the police and let them check Brother Yang’s phone, or get out of here and stop delaying our meal.”
Zhao Juan: “If you want to call the police, go ahead. I’m not calling.”
Yang Chen nodded and said, “Alright! I’ll call the police.”
After saying that, Yang Chen called Chen Qingxia and asked her to bring people over directly from the city bureau [police station].
“I’ve already called the police. Let’s wait for them to arrive. Can you get out of here now?” Yang Chen said.
Zhao Juan was a little nervous. In fact, she only suspected Yang Chen of secretly filming her; she wasn’t sure. Now that Yang Chen had so readily called the police, she felt guilty.
The students watching the commotion discussed among themselves.
“He really called the police. Looks like he was wronged.”
“Some girls are like that; they want to falsely accuse others based on their words alone. This girl probably didn’t expect to meet such a tough guy.”
“This show is getting good. Let’s see how the police handle it when they arrive.”
…
At this moment, several teachers walked over.
Zhao Juan immediately changed her fierce expression.
Before, crying, she said to the teachers, “Waa… Teacher Wang, Teacher Liu, Teacher Chen, Teacher Zhang, you have to stand up for me. He was pointing his phone at me to take pictures. I came over to stop him, but he denied secretly filming me. So I asked him to open his photo album for me to see, and he called the police. Don’t you think I would suspect him of secretly filming me when I saw his phone pointed at me? Was I wrong to ask him to open his photo album? Was I going too far? Waa…”
Damn, her ability to play the victim is impressive.
Chen Xi quickly said, “Zhao Juan, how can you be such a green tea [a derogatory term for a woman who appears innocent but is manipulative]? Everyone is watching and listening. You know very well what you looked like just now, and everyone else knows too. Brother Yang explained many times that he didn’t secretly film you, but you insisted on seeing his photo album. Of course, Brother Yang would call the police. What right do you have to check his phone album?”
Zhao Juan: “Teachers, this person isn’t a student at our school. Chen Xi brought him in. Because he’s an unemployed member of society, I’m more vigilant. Is there anything wrong with that?”
Teacher Chen: “Hello, I’m Chen Mingyuan, the dean of the School of Journalism and Communication. Who are you, and did you secretly film students?”
Yang Chen: “You can insult my education, but you can’t insult my taste. I have a beautiful and well-figured girl like Chen Xi by my side. Why would I secretly film a hag like her? If you were me, would you secretly film her?”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.
Chen Xi was a little embarrassed and lowered her head, blushing.
The teachers were also embarrassed. Although Yang Chen’s words were harsh, they made sense.
With a beautiful and well-figured girl like Chen Xi by his side, who would be interested in an ugly woman?
However, logic is logic, and as teachers, they certainly couldn’t express their inner thoughts.
Chen Mingyuan: “Nonsense, just tell me now whether you secretly filmed anyone or not.”
Yang Chen: “I’ve already called the police. Let’s wait for the police to arrive.”
Chen Mingyuan: “No, this isn’t a big deal. There’s no need to call the police, right? Just open your photo album for her to see, and she’ll feel at ease, right?”
Zhao Juan: “He said his phone contains SSS-level secrets. If I look at his phone, I’ll spend the rest of my life in prison. He even said Einstein would have to call him ‘bro’ if he saw him. Teachers, tell me, isn’t he going too far? Isn’t he hiding something? He can come up with such ridiculous reasons.”
Chen Mingyuan and the other teachers laughed.
Teacher Zhang: “Hello, my name is Zhang Shun. I’m the dean of the School of Applied Sciences, and I mainly teach applied physics. May I ask your name, young man? You dare to joke about Einstein.”
Teacher Wang: “My name is Wang Ke, and I mainly teach mathematics and applied mathematics. I’d also like to know your name, young man. What kind of deity are you? Your phone is an SSS-level secret.”
Teacher Liu: “My name is Liu Ming, a professor of materials science. I must get to know someone who is even more amazing than Einstein.”
The students laughed.
“This is awkward. He just wanted to joke around, but he didn’t expect to meet four professors who took it so seriously.”
“Actually, I supported him when he was fighting magic with magic. He shouldn’t have joked about Einstein. He’s too stupid.”
“He can’t blame anyone but himself for making the situation like this. Now he’s in a difficult position. I wonder how he’ll get out of this.”
…
Chen Xi quickly said, “Teachers, don’t take it too seriously. He’s just a ride-hailing driver. Oh, his family might have some money. He’s probably a rich second generation [someone born into wealth].”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed.
“Damn, a ride-hailing driver is acting so pretentious!”
“Ignorance is bliss. He probably doesn’t even know Einstein’s status in the world.”
“It’s normal. His profession matches his education and intelligence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be joking about his phone being an SSS-level secret and that Einstein would have to call him ‘bro’.”
…
Chen Mingyuan: “What are you pretending to be at Haicheng University as a ride-hailing driver? Are you going to wait until the police arrive before you open your phone album?”
Wang Ke: “I think we should avoid wasting the police’s time. We teachers can be witnesses. You can open your photo album for Zhao Juan to see, and it will be clear whether you secretly filmed her or not. Don’t worry, if you didn’t secretly film her, we guarantee you can safely leave Haicheng University. No one will make things difficult for you.”
Yang Chen: “Hehe… Even your principal, Zhang Guangyuan, isn’t qualified to see my phone. And you want to see it? Find an academician from the Dragon Academy of Sciences [China’s top scientific research institution], and I might consider letting him take a look.”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.
Liu Ming: “You’re getting more and more outrageous. Now you’re dragging in academicians from the Dragon Academy of Sciences. Even Principal Zhang isn’t qualified to see your phone. If you keep going, are you going to say that Einstein himself has to be resurrected to see your phone?”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.
Yang Chen: “You guys are really annoying. I’m Yang Chen, understand? Is my phone something that any Tom, Dick, or Harry [any random person] can look at?”
“Haha…” Everyone laughed again.
Chen Xi’s eyes lit up. Could he be Yang Chen, the boss of the Starry Sky Corporation?
Rumor has it that Yang Chen, the boss of the Starry Sky Corporation, likes to drive ride-hailing cars to pass the time. Combining his aura and confidence, he might really be that Yang Chen.
Zhang Shun: “You’re really something. There’s no bragging you’re afraid to do. You even dare to impersonate Boss Yang. Do you think we’re all fools?”
Chen Xi quickly said, “Teacher Zhang, his name is indeed Yang Chen, and he’s a ride-hailing driver. I just met him today, so I don’t know much about him. But based on his confidence and aura, he might really be Yang Chen, the boss of the Starry Sky Corporation.”
Zhao Juan: “How is that possible? You don’t really believe that Yang Chen, the boss of the Starry Sky Corporation, would drive a ride-hailing car to pass the time, do you? He has so many businesses under his name. He’s probably too busy counting money every day. How could he have time to drive a ride-hailing car? He’s just pretending to avoid the inspection.”
Yang Chen put his phone on the table and said, “I’ve been trying to save you, but you don’t appreciate it. My phone is right here. If you have the guts, open the photo album and take a look. If you don’t get arrested, I’ll take your last name!”
“Tch! Who are you trying to scare!” Zhao Juan shouted loudly, then picked up Yang Chen’s phone.
But just as her finger was about to touch the screen, she stopped.
“Teacher Chen, you should take a look, so he can’t deny it later,” Zhao Juan said, then handed the phone to Chen Mingyuan.
Seeing Yang Chen’s confidence and firm gaze, Chen Mingyuan didn’t dare to open the photo album. After staring at the phone for a few seconds, he quickly handed it to Zhang Shun.
“Dean Zhang, you should take a look. I’m the dean of the School of Journalism and Communication, and Zhao Juan is a graduate student in our school. It’s not appropriate for me to look. You take a look, so he can’t find an excuse to argue,” Chen Mingyuan said with a smile.
Zhang Shun looked at Chen Mingyuan speechlessly, thinking, “Do you think I’m an idiot? You don’t dare to look, so you want me to take the risk?”
Zhang Shun quickly returned the phone to Chen Mingyuan and said, “Precisely because Zhao Juan is a graduate student in your school, you should look at this phone. If he really secretly filmed her, you have to stand up for Zhao Juan. If he didn’t secretly film her, you have to give him justice.”
Wang Ke and Liu Ming were worried that Chen Mingyuan would hand the phone to them, so they quickly followed Zhang Shun’s suggestion and asked Chen Mingyuan to look at Yang Chen’s phone album.
Their actions made the students laugh again.
“Seriously? They were demanding to see the photo album, and now that he’s handed them the phone, they’re all too scared to look. They’re pushing each other to look.”
“It’s so funny. Were they scared by this handsome guy’s words? They were all so righteous and confident just now. Why are they too scared to look now that they have the phone?”
“Hey, do you think he might really be Yang Chen, the boss of the Starry Sky Corporation? Same name, same ride-hailing driver, and his aura matches Boss Yang’s persona. Could it be such a coincidence?”
“Haha… That’s why Dean Chen and the others don’t dare to open the photo album. You guys were saying that this handsome guy put himself in a difficult position by impersonating Einstein. Now do you know who’s in a difficult position? He’s handed over his phone. Are they going to look or not?”
…
Chen Mingyuan was still quick-witted. He handed the phone to Chen Xi and said, “Student Chen, since you brought him in, you should take a look. That’s the fairest way. You won’t favor either side. Right?”
Chen Xi was about to reach out and take the phone when Yang Chen immediately grabbed her hand and said, “What? Do you want to spend the rest of your life in prison?”
Chen Xi quickly retracted her hand and said, “No, no, I don’t want to. Teacher Chen, I believe Brother Yang wouldn’t secretly film anyone. Since you suspect him of secretly filming, you two should check the photo album.”
Chen Mingyuan: “Student Chen Xi, don’t be scared by his words. Even if he’s really Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Corporation, it’s impossible to go to jail just for looking at his phone album. That’s too exaggerated, isn’t it?”
Chen Xi: “Yeah, you’re right. Then you take a look.”
Chen Mingyuan: “…”
“Haha…” The students laughed again.
“The police haven’t arrived yet, and this show is already so exciting.”
“Who dares to look? Go take a look.”
“Are you crazy? If he’s really Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Corporation, there might be confidential research data in his phone. If you dare to take a look, even if you don’t go to jail, you’ll probably lose your personal freedom to prevent you from leaking it.”
“That’s true. Boss Yang has already developed quantum chips and proven quantum entanglement. Who knows what new research results he has.”
…
Listening to the students’ discussions, Chen Mingyuan awkwardly put the phone on the table.
“Since Mr. Yang has already called the police, let’s wait a while. When the police arrive, let them check the photo album. That’s the fairest choice. Everyone agrees, right?” Chen Mingyuan said, pretending to be calm.
Zhang Shun: “Yes, yes, Dean Chen is right. Let the police take a look.”
Wang Ke: “I have no objection.”
Liu Ming: “Then I have even less objection.”
Yang Chen smiled disdainfully and said, “Zhao Juan, I’ve given you the phone. Why don’t you take a look?”
Zhao Juan panicked and quickly retorted, “I… I’ll wait for the police to come and let them look, so you can’t find an excuse to deny the results.”
Yang Chen: “You were all so eloquent just now. I thought you were so confident. I’ve given you the phone, but you don’t dare to open the photo album and take a look. Dean Chen, right? Call Zhang Guangyuan over. I want to ask him how he educates his students, so they can blatantly slander someone’s innocence in public.”
Chen Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, but then he nodded and called Zhang Guangyuan, the principal of Haicheng University.
“Hello, Principal Zhang, please come to the first cafeteria immediately. There’s someone here who is suspected to be Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Corporation who wants to see you,” Chen Mingyuan said cautiously.
Zhang Guangyuan was shocked and said, “Really? Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Corporation is at our school? Why didn’t anyone report this to me? What can you people do? Such an important figure has arrived, and I didn’t even know!”
Chen Mingyuan: “Suspected, suspected. We don’t know if it’s him. You should come over and take a look. There’s some trouble here, and we might need you to personally resolve it.”
Zhang Guangyuan: “What trouble? You didn’t offend Boss Yang, did you? I’m telling you, if you dare to offend Boss Yang, I’ll never forgive you.”
Chen Mingyuan: “This… Sigh… You should come over and we’ll talk.”
Zhang Guangyuan hung up the phone and ran out without even putting on his down jacket.
If it was really Boss Yang who had come and was offended by these people, Haicheng University would suffer a great loss. Graduates of Haicheng University wouldn’t even dream of working at the Starry Sky Corporation in the future.
That was a small matter. The key was that everyone would know that Boss Yang didn’t like Haicheng University, and others would actively reduce or even refuse to cooperate with Haicheng University to avoid displeasing Boss Yang. The higher-ups might even reduce the education and research funding for Haicheng University. Haicheng University would suffer a great loss.
At this time, in the first cafeteria.
Chen Xi said to Zhao Juan, “Zhao Juan, quickly apologize to Brother Yang. Let’s end this matter here, so you don’t have to bear the consequences.”
Zhao Juan was unhappy when she heard this and said, “What you’re saying is really interesting. I was secretly filmed, and I have to apologize? How can you be so shameless?”
Chen Xi picked up Yang Chen’s phone and stuffed it into her hand, saying, “Since you’re insisting that Brother Yang secretly filmed you, check his phone album now.”
The students watching the commotion egged her on.
“That’s right. You keep saying that he secretly filmed you and insisted on seeing his photo album. Now that you have the phone, why don’t you take a look!”
“You were pestering him when he wouldn’t let you see it, but now that he’s letting you see it, you don’t dare to look. Aren’t you obviously slandering him? Did you learn to slander others without evidence from those people online?”
“If you’re not slandering him, then look at the photo album. If you don’t dare to check the photo album, it means you’re guilty.”
“Haha… The ultimate magic showdown, using her words to defeat her.”
…
Zhao Juan couldn’t resist the encouragement of her classmates and really opened the photo album.
The first photo in Yang Chen’s phone album was a research report on room-temperature superconducting materials, and the second was a blueprint for modifying a rain-inducing bomb into an intercontinental missile with a range of 20,000 kilometers and controllable trajectory. Both of these were top-secret materials.
Although Zhao Juan didn’t open them to look closely, that wasn’t important. Her life was now completely in Yang Chen’s hands.
At this time, Zhang Guangyuan, the principal of Haicheng University, drove to the first cafeteria, and Chen Qingxia happened to arrive with the police officers from the city bureau.
“The city bureau is here too? It’s over, it’s over. These bastards don’t know how big of a mess they’ve made,” Zhang Guangyuan muttered.
Chen Qingxia led her team and quickly rushed into the first cafeteria, surrounding Yang Chen’s area.
“The police are here.”
“The climax of this show is here.”
“Zhao Juan is still looking. What did she see? Isn’t it obvious whether there are any secret photos?”
…
Chen Qingxia walked over.
Chen Mingyuan quickly said, “Isn’t this Captain Chen from the city bureau? Why did you come in person?”
Chen Qingxia smiled and ignored him, walking straight to Yang Chen.
“What’s going on?” Chen Qingxia asked.
Yang Chen: “She secretly viewed top-secret information. Arrest her immediately.”
Chen Qingxia snatched Yang Chen’s phone and said, “Someone, control her.”
Two police officers immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Juan. Zhao Juan quickly retorted, “He must have deleted the photos of me that he secretly filmed. Even if I wrongly accused him, it’s his fault. If he didn’t point his phone at me, would I have misunderstood that he was secretly filming me? You can’t arrest me. I’m innocent.”
Yang Chen shook the phone in his hand and said, “The first two photos in my phone are top-secret materials. Once you’ve seen them, don’t even think about being free. Captain Chen, take her back into custody and don’t allow anyone to contact her. Without my notification, she can’t leave.”
Chen Qingxia nodded. At this time, Zhang Guangyuan rushed over.
“What’s going on? What’s going on? Oh, Captain Chen, what’s all the commotion about?” Zhang Guangyuan said with a smile.
Chen Qingxia: “Principal Zhang, your student has caused a big problem. Not only did she falsely accuse Mr. Yang of secretly filming her, but she also forced Mr. Yang to show her his phone. Mr. Yang’s phone contains top-secret information, and she’s seen it all. We have to take her back into custody and prohibit anyone from contacting her.”
Zhang Guangyuan: “Ah? How could it be so serious? What kind of information?”
Yang Chen: “One of them is a blueprint for modifying a rain-inducing bomb into an intercontinental missile with a range of 20,000 kilometers and controllable trajectory, which is a collaboration between our Starry Sky Technology Group and the military. This is a national secret, and no irrelevant person can see it. I kept emphasizing to them that my phone contains SSS-level secrets and that anyone who sees it will go to jail. But your teachers and students didn’t believe me and insisted on forcing me to hand over my phone to them. Principal Zhang, don’t you usually pay attention to educating your students on values and morals? Who allowed her to falsely accuse a stranger of secretly filming her without any evidence? Who gave her the authority to check other people’s phones? As a graduate student of Haicheng University, doesn’t she even have basic moral and legal standards?”
The whole place was shocked.
“Ah!”
They were all laughing just now, but now they couldn’t laugh anymore.
“He really is Boss Yang of the Starry Sky Corporation!”
“So he wasn’t pretending. Everything he said was true. Based on his contributions, Einstein would really have to call him ‘bro’.”
“So he’s been trying to save Zhao Juan, but she didn’t appreciate it and was ultimately harmed by her ignorance.”
“Oh my god, when Starry Sky Technology live-streamed the rain-inducing bomb, they said that their rain-inducing bomb has a maximum range of 20,000 kilometers and can be manually controlled to change its trajectory, reaching anywhere in the world, and there’s no possibility of interception. This is definitely a national secret. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Zhao Juan will lose her freedom just for taking a look.”
…
Zhang Guangyuan couldn’t lift his head from Yang Chen’s scolding and nodded repeatedly, saying, “Mr. Yang is right. We have indeed neglected the moral education of our students. As the principal, I am indeed responsible. I will definitely work harder in this area in the future and actively guide students to learn the correct values and morals. As for this student’s slander of your innocence and secretly viewing top-secret information, everything will be handled according to the law. Our school will definitely actively cooperate with the relevant departments in the investigation and will never shirk responsibility or turn a blind eye.”
Yang Chen: “The blueprint for modifying the rain-inducing bomb into an intercontinental missile isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is the experimental report in the first photo. That’s related to our country’s great cause of dominating the world in the future. If she leaks it, she will be a sinner to the five thousand years of culture and 1.4 billion Dragon people [Chinese people]!”
Zhang Guangyuan suddenly felt a cold sweat break out on his back. There was actually an experimental report that was more important than the blueprint for an intercontinental missile with a controllable trajectory and a range of 20,000 kilometers?
“Damn it, why did you have to look at his phone? I’m going to be implicated in such a big mess! It’s related to the great cause of the Dragon Kingdom dominating the world in the future. I can’t make up for the possible harm even if I die a hundred times,” Zhang Guangyuan thought to himself.
At this moment, he had the idea of killing Zhao Juan himself. Now that she was alive, she was a hidden danger.
