How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 626

Under Yang Chen’s guidance, Wang Hu gradually calmed down.

Yang Chen signaled Li Xiaohui with his eyes to put away the gun. She quickly blinked in response and carefully stowed the weapon.

Yang Chen: “Brother, I know Zhang Xiang. I’ll have him be your lawyer and personally handle this case for you, ensuring you get the best possible outcome. Wouldn’t it be better to get your illness treated, receive compensation, and find a good woman to settle down with? I know you’re an honest, responsible man who drives for a ride-hailing service from 6 PM to 12 AM to support your adoptive parents and children. A man like you shouldn’t end his life this way. You should be here to enjoy life. Put it down, please…”

Wang Hu pouted, on the verge of tears, and then threw the kitchen knife aside.

The police quickly stepped forward and secured the knife.

The Q5 car owner was taken in for questioning on suspicion of homicide.

The police, concerned that Wang Hu might do something rash and harm his wife, Zhou Xiao’e, wanted to mediate between the two before letting them return home.

Li Xiaohui arranged for the other officers to return to the station, while she stayed with Yang Chen to help mediate between the couple.

Wang Hu no longer cared about saving face. He felt that his dignity as a man had long been shattered by Zhou Xiao’e’s actions.

However, Zhou Xiao’e seemed to still care about appearances and insisted on discussing things at home.

Soon, Yang Chen and Li Xiaohui accompanied the couple back to their residence.

Li Xiaohui: “Zhou Xiao’e, do you want to call the children’s biological father? Things have already reached this point, so there’s no need to hide anything anymore. Let’s all sit down and talk things out face to face. Compensation should be paid, assets should be divided, and you should get a divorce.”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I can’t contact him.”

Li Xiaohui: “Then tell me his name and where he’s from, and I’ll have my colleagues in the household registration department look into it.”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I…”

Wang Hu: “What? It’s come to this, and you still think you can get away with it?”

Zhou Xiao’e: “The oldest is Zhou Ming’s, but I don’t know who the other two are.”

“…” Yang Chen, Li Xiaohui, and Wang Hu were all speechless.

Wang Hu lunged forward and landed a series of punches on Zhou Xiao’e, cursing, “You’re really something! You don’t even know who the father of your children is. Can’t you even remember how many men there were?”

Li Xiaohui quickly pulled Wang Hu away, but she didn’t blame him for hitting her. To be honest, Li Xiaohui also felt like hitting Zhou Xiao’e. She was a disgrace to women.

Cheating was bad enough, but having three children who weren’t her husband’s was outrageous. And not even knowing who the fathers of the second and third children were? Li Xiaohui had never encountered such a wicked woman.

Zhou Xiao’e: “Is blood relation that important? You’ve raised them for over ten years. If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, they’ll always see you as their real father. They’ll take care of you in your old age. It’s better to be a little ignorant in life. Why do you have to make things so clear? I don’t even need to know who the fathers of the second and third children are because it’s not important to me.”

Wang Hu picked up a cup and smashed it, cursing, “I’ll go to hell! Of course, it’s not important to you. If it came out of your belly, even if it was a dog, it would still be yours.”

“You don’t need to know. Why should I work hard from morning till night, saving money to raise children for someone else?”

Yang Chen: “Brother, stop arguing. Things have already reached this point. Let’s each talk about how you want to handle it.”

Wang Hu: “She must compensate me for the years of child support, emotional distress, and damage to my reputation. She must compensate me at least 2 million [yuan, Chinese currency]. Then she must leave the house with nothing and take her three bastards with her.”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I don’t have money! I’ve been taking care of the family at home for so many years, and I haven’t gone out to work. Where am I going to get 2 million to compensate you? You might as well just stab me to death!”

Wang Hu: “You think I wouldn’t dare?”

Li Xiaohui: “Alright! Calm down, both of you. Arguing and saying hurtful things won’t solve the problem. The main issue is whether to divorce or not, and it’s clear there’s no way to continue living together. Is that right?”

Wang Hu: “Of course! How can I continue living with her? Will I ever be able to face anyone again?”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I don’t want a divorce. I object to a divorce.”

Wang Hu: “You still want to rely on me? How can you be so shameless? You don’t want a divorce, so you won’t get one? You have to get a divorce!”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I won’t get a divorce! If you force me to get a divorce, I’ll kill myself in front of the judge, and we’ll see if they dare to grant the divorce!”

Wang Hu: “You’re just being a rogue, relying on me, right? I’ll stab you to death right now, and we’ll start over together!”

Wang Hu was about to run to the kitchen to grab a knife again, but Yang Chen and Li Xiaohui restrained him.

Zhou Xiao’e was average-looking, and her figure was a bit out of shape, but some men aren’t picky and are happy as long as it’s a woman.

She hadn’t worked for many years. Her eldest son was in high school, and the two younger ones were in middle school, which was when they were most expensive. She didn’t even know who the fathers of her children were. If she really got a divorce, she wouldn’t be able to support the three children even if she begged.

Therefore, she would definitely try everything possible to avoid a divorce. If she was forced to get a divorce, she might as well die, or she would be forced to death by reality in the future.

A forty-year-old woman with no beauty, no figure, no education, and no skills, what could she rely on to support three sons?

However, Wang Hu definitely didn’t want to continue being a fool. He immediately stated his position, saying, “If the judge doesn’t grant the divorce, I’ll die in front of him! I’d rather die than continue being this fool!”

Well, it seemed that the pressure would be on the judge in charge of their divorce case.

Li Xiaohui: “Zhou Xiao’e, think carefully. You must have some idea of what happened. Tell us who you suspect the fathers of the second and third children are, give us some clues, and we’ll be responsible for helping you find them.”

Zhou Xiao’e: “It’s been over ten years. How would I know who they are? I can’t remember at all. I only remember that there were a lot of people that night, and I didn’t recognize many of them.”

Yang Chen, Li Xiaohui, Wang Hu: “…”

Not good-looking, but truly wild.

“I have nothing more to say to you. Get out of here, get out right now! I don’t want to see you again!” Wang Hu roared angrily.

Zhou Xiao’e: “This is my home too. I’ve worked hard at home for so many years. Even if I didn’t earn money, I should still have a share.”

Wang Hu: “You’ve worked hard to serve you and your three bastards. What does that have to do with me? Do you have any shame? My parents see that I have three sons and think I’m struggling, so they’re still doing odd jobs at their age, picking up scraps and selling their blood and sweat. Are you worthy of them? Do you have any humanity?”

Zhou Xiao’e: “I can’t control that much. Anyway, I’m not leaving, and I won’t get a divorce unless I’m dead, and you carry me away.”

Wang Hu: “Police officer, you saw that, right? Isn’t she just being a rogue?”

Li Xiaohui: “Don’t get excited. The law is mandatory. It’s not like anyone can be a rogue and resist the law. As long as the court’s judgment comes down, she has to comply. I have another murder case to investigate at the station, so I can’t stay any longer. Calm down. If you can’t negotiate, then file a lawsuit. Don’t resort to violence. There’s no need to risk your life for this kind of person. You just said that your parents are old. Do you want them to lose their son? President Yang, I’ll be leaving now.”

Yang Chen nodded, and Li Xiaohui quickly departed.

Li Xiaohui could see that Zhou Xiao’e was determined to be difficult. Further arguments were pointless. It was better to wait for them to file a lawsuit and have the court make a judgment.

Yang Chen: “Brother, I’ll introduce Zhang Xiang to you to handle the lawsuit later. Just leave it to the court to hear the case and make a judgment according to the law. Just be patient for now. Come into the bedroom, and I’ll examine you.”

Wang Hu nodded, took Yang Chen into the bedroom, locked the door, and lay on the bed for Yang Chen to examine him.

Yang Chen carefully assessed Wang Hu’s condition.

There could be many causes of azoospermia [absence of sperm in the semen], such as deformities, varicocele [enlarged veins in the scrotum], and deficiencies in zinc and other essential elements.

After examining him, Yang Chen determined that Wang Hu’s azoospermia was caused by a combination of vas deferens malformation [a defect in the tube that carries sperm], obesity, and zinc deficiency.

Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling Wang Hu to put on his clothes, and said, “Your condition is quite complex, but it can be treated. However, it will take a lot of time, and you need to persevere for a long time to see significant results.”

Wang Hu: “Brother, as long as I can have children, even if you ask me to eat a pound of shit every day, I can guarantee that I’ll stick with it.”

Oh my god, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said, “It’s not that bad. Get some paper and a pen, and I’ll tell you what to write down.”

Wang Hu nodded and quickly retrieved paper and a pen, ready to take notes.

Yang Chen: “First, you need to supplement zinc and selenium…”

Yang Chen explained the treatment plan in detail, including weight loss methods, precautions for surgery, and so on.

Wang Hu filled two pages of A4 paper according to Yang Chen’s instructions, and then asked, “Brother, it’s no use just knowing how to treat it. I don’t know how to do it myself.”

Yang Chen: “Resolve your family affairs as soon as possible, and then focus on receiving treatment. Remember not to be stressed, angry, or too tired during the treatment process. After resolving your family affairs, take this to Dawn Hospital. I’ll explain everything to them, and they’ll know how to treat you when they see this treatment plan. You just need to actively cooperate.”

Wang Hu: “Okay! Brother, I can’t thank you enough. I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again. I’ll kowtow [a deep bow showing respect] to you now to express my gratitude. If I get cured and have children, I’ll slaughter a pig and a sheep during the New Year to worship you and Guanyin [Bodhisattva of Compassion] together.”

Yang Chen: “Brother, don’t do that. I can’t accept that. Although I don’t believe in feudal superstition, I still need to have a sense of reverence. I’m not qualified to be worshiped with Guanyin Bodhisattva. I’m just a fellow Dragon Country [China] man, and I can’t bear to see an honest person like you being harmed. I’ll leave now, and I’ll have Zhang Xiang contact you later.”

Wang Hu: “Okay! Thank you, benefactor!”

Yang Chen smiled and waved his hand, opened the door, and left.

Wang Hu saw Yang Chen out. By this time, the surrounding neighbors were all gathered together, gossiping.

Yang Chen patted Wang Hu on the shoulder, and Wang Hu said with a smile, “Benefactor, don’t worry, I can handle it.”

Yang Chen smiled and nodded, then drove away.

“Sigh…” Yang Chen sighed with emotion.

It’s really too difficult to be a man. You work hard to earn money to support your family, reluctant to spend on yourself, only to find out the children aren’t yours. That’s a huge blow.

After picking up two more ride requests, it was getting dark.

Yang Chen was going to get something to eat, and after that, he had to go to Dawn Hospital to see the scheduled patient.

As he drove, Yang Chen passed a large bridge.

There was a car parked on the side of the road with its hazard lights flashing, and the driver was sitting on the bridge railing with a cigarette in his mouth.

Instinctively, Yang Chen thought this guy was contemplating something desperate, so he quickly stopped the car and went to check on him.

Yang Chen grabbed a pack of Huazi [a popular brand of cigarettes], quickly opened it, and walked towards the driver, saying, “Brother, could I bum a light? I just lost my lighter.”

The driver looked up at Yang Chen, then took out a lighter and tossed it to him.

Yang Chen pretended to reach for the lighter, stopping less than three steps away from the driver, then leaned against the railing and lit a cigarette.

“Brother, are you married?” Yang Chen asked.

Driver: “Hehe… I was, but I’m divorced now. What about you?”

Yang Chen: “No.”

The driver glanced at Yang Chen’s car and said, “Girls these days are very materialistic. It must be hard to find a wife driving for a ride-hailing service.”

Yang Chen: “Then why did you get a divorce? You’re acting like you don’t know how good you had it.”

Driver: “It’s not that I wanted a divorce, it’s that she insisted on it. Back when we were dating for five years, I spent every penny of my salary on our dates and expenses. When we got married, she forced me to buy a three-bedroom apartment, and it had to be paid in full with only her name on it. Her family also wanted 288,000 yuan for the bride price. My parents sold their old house, used all their savings, and borrowed money from relatives and friends to finally get me married. I thought that after I had given so much, she would settle down and live with me. But in less than two years, she嫌 [xián – disliked] I was poor, had an abortion, and divorced me. She didn’t return the bride price, and she wanted half of the house. Hehe… I was too ashamed to face my parents, and I couldn’t stand my relatives and friends laughing at them. I’m in my early thirties, and I haven’t done anything to make them proud, but I’ve ruined their life’s work and made them a laughingstock. I feel like a joke, a disgrace. Brother, can you understand what I mean? Can you feel my mood?”

Oh my god, at this rate, Yang Chen was going to get depressed.

What was he running into today? Why was everyone’s marriage so unhappy?

Yang Chen: “Sigh… I can’t really empathize with you, but I’m also in a bad mood. To be honest, I just dropped off a passenger this afternoon and happened to catch his wife coming out with her lover. And that’s not the worst part, you know? When I asked, I found out that none of the three children were his, and the three children didn’t even have the same father. His wife didn’t even know who the fathers of the second and third children were. Wow, I thought at the time, why should such an honest person be treated like this?”

Driver: “Really? There’s someone even more miserable than me?”

Yang Chen: “What’s even worse is that he has azoospermia, and it will take at least 3-5 years of slow conditioning to cure it. He’s almost forty, and he’s thinking about getting married and having children after he’s cured. His wife has already made it clear that she won’t get a divorce. If the court dares to grant a divorce, she’ll kill herself in front of the judge. That brother doesn’t know what to do now. So, compared to that, you’re really lucky. Of course, you’re also miserable. I’m getting depressed today. Why are all the cases I’m running into like this?”

The driver lit another cigarette and said, “It’s all because society demands too much of men and puts too much pressure on them, while women can play around and then find an honest man to take over. If they’re not happy, they can get a divorce at any time. Anyway, there’s no cost for them to get married, and they can take the opportunity to make a fortune.”

Yang Chen stubbed out his cigarette on the ground and said, “You’re right. That’s how reality is. Since we can’t change them, let’s change ourselves.”

Driver: “How do we change?”

Yang Chen: “If we develop a robot that simulates a real person and gives her the function of incubating embryos, do you think it can solve the huge problems currently facing men?”

The driver immediately stubbed out his cigarette and said excitedly, “If you can really develop something like that, it will definitely be a hit. Many people can’t get a wife because they don’t have money or for other reasons. If there’s a robot like that, it will definitely be a blessing for men. But what’s the use of us thinking about it here? We don’t have the technology or the money.”

Yang Chen: “The current technology should be able to do it. As for money, I don’t lack money. Brother, don’t die. I’ll give you one of those robots when I develop it.”

Yang Chen got up, went back to the car, took out a business card, and handed it to the driver, saying, “This is my business card. Believe me, as long as I want to do it, there will definitely be results within a year.”

The driver looked at the business card and his eyes widened in shock.

“You… you’re Boss Yang of the Star Group! My god! I’ve met the real Boss Yang!” the driver said excitedly.

Yang Chen: “Haha… that’s right! I’m Yang Chen.”

Driver: “Hello, Boss Yang. My name is Wu Hui. It’s the greatest honor of my life to meet you.”

Yang Chen: “Meeting is fate. I’m getting depressed today. I really can’t stand to see this kind of suffering in the world. Brother, don’t die. Wait for me for a year, at most a year, and I’ll get you an Icebing robot. Okay?”

The driver laughed out loud and said, “Okay! Then I’ll hold on a little longer. Um… I don’t really like Icebing. I like Yang Mi [a famous actress]. Can you get me a Yang Mi robot?”

Yang Chen: “Oh my god! No problem! Go home quickly. Your parents must be waiting for you to eat.”

The driver nodded, got up, gave Yang Chen a hug, and said, “Boss Yang, thank you. You’ve given me hope to live again. I’m waiting for your robot to come out!”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “Brother, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down. At most a year, it will definitely be on the market!”

The driver nodded with a smile, happily got into the car, and went home to his parents.

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I’m really depressed today. To save the majority of male compatriots, I must get this kind of robot out.”

Yang Chen got into the car and called Yu Shishi, saying, “Shishi, I have a task for you. Check which companies or laboratories in China are relatively leading in the field of simulating real-person robots. Find out and report to me.”

Yu Shishi: “Okay. Are you going to make robots?”

Yang Chen: “I’m not making science fiction mecha robots for the time being. I’m making simulated human robots. Aren’t many men unable to get wives now? I’m going to make female robots to be their wives. One will only cost 100,000 or 200,000 [yuan]. In addition to being able to implant various advanced knowledge, they can also incubate embryos. Do you think they’ll want them?”

Yu Shishi: “Ah? Your idea is a bit risky. The ethical and moral hurdle may not be easy to pass. And you may not be able to get it on the market in China. Once this kind of robot is on the market, who will marry real women as wives?”

Yang Chen: “It’s not like that. Robots are robots after all, and they definitely can’t compare to real people. Those who can afford it will definitely still marry real people. Only those who really can’t get real women will choose this kind. Besides, I can not promote the function of incubating embryos as a selling point. I can say that simulated humans do housework and screw screws. Is that okay? Anyway, you investigate first, find out, and report to me. This thing must be done. Even if it’s not allowed to be on the market in China, I have to get it out on the market abroad.”

Yu Shishi: “Okay! I’ll check right away and get back to you as soon as possible.”

There was no time to eat. Yang Chen went straight to Dawn Hospital.

At this time, in the VIP ward of Dawn Hospital.

The aunt who asked Yang Chen to treat her boss was being “besieged” by her family.

Younger daughter: “Mom, have you been cheated? It’s already eight o’clock, why haven’t we seen anyone yet?”

Eldest son: “Mom, tell us the truth, did you give him any money?”

Aunt: “I didn’t give him any money. I said that as long as he can cure him, he can name his price. Don’t rush me, can’t you be patient?”

Younger daughter: “The point is that this is too outrageous. You treat a random passerby as a miracle doctor. Money is a small matter, but what if he makes Dad worse?”

Aunt: “I saw it with my own eyes. I definitely won’t misjudge people. Just wait patiently for a while. Da Chun, why don’t you go to the hospital to see Xiao Yun? She may give birth at any time. She needs you more over there. I and Xiao Xia are here.”

Son: “Okay! Xiao Xia, take good care of things here. If that person comes later, you must ask clearly and not let him treat Dad casually. Do you understand what I mean?”

Daughter: “Got it, go ahead, it’s not good for my sister-in-law to be waiting to give birth alone.”

Son: “Okay! Then I’ll go over first. Dad, I’m going to see Xiao Yun. Listen to Xiao Xia, okay?”

The old man lying on the bed quickly replied, “Oh, I know. Go take care of Xiao Yun. Be sure to call me immediately when she gives birth.”

Son: “Okay, I know. Xiao Xia, see me out.”

The brother and sister walked out together.

The older brother whispered, “Sister, you have to keep an eye on things. Be sure to test him thoroughly before making a decision. Don’t let someone who doesn’t know the details treat Dad casually.”

The younger sister nodded and replied, “Brother, don’t worry. Don’t you know me? No one can pull a fast one on me!”

The older brother nodded and immediately left Dawn Hospital.

The younger sister returned to the ward, sighed helplessly, sat down, and continued to wait.

About ten minutes later, Yang Chen arrived at the ward.

The aunt immediately smiled happily and said, “Young man, you’re here!”

Yang Chen: “Yes, good evening, Auntie. Where’s the old man? Let me take a look.”

The aunt pointed to the old man on the bed and said, “He’s lying there.”

Yang Chen wanted to finish the examination quickly and go eat, so he immediately walked over.

At this time, the aunt’s daughter stood in front of him and said, “Wait a minute, let me see your ID card and medical license.”
