How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 681

Robbing Someone? What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money?_

Robbing Someone?

Yang Chen’s bodyguard stepped forward and bumped Hutas aside.

Hutas, enraged, roared, “This is the Land of Sand, Riyadh, not your Dragon Country [China]! If you want to cause trouble, think about who you’re dealing with!”

Lin Manda quickly cautioned, “Hutas, don’t cause a scene. This is Mr. Yang Chen, the head of Starlight Defense Group. He’s a guest of the Crown Prince. Calm down.”

Starlight Defense and Crown Prince’s guest—these two titles immediately deflated Hutas’ arrogance.

However, with so many people watching, and the widespread rumor that the royal family intended to arrange a marriage between Hutas and Lin Manda, Hutas couldn’t back down easily. How would he save face?

Hutas adopted a slightly more polite tone. “Mr. Yang, welcome to Riyadh. Lin Manda is my prospective partner. I hope you’ll respect me and the royal family by refraining from saying she’s ‘your person,’ okay?”

Yang Chen retorted, “She lost to me. Whether you say she’s my person or not, she is. You want me to respect you, but you haven’t shown me any respect.”

Hutas quickly turned to Lin Manda. “Lost to you? Lin Manda, what’s going on? Why did you lose to him?”

Lin Manda was embarrassed to answer, but to prevent a conflict between Hutas and Yang Chen, she explained the situation in detail.

Hutas was shocked. Everyone knew Lin Manda’s exceptional desert racing skills and impressive record. How could she lose to Yang Chen?

Without thinking, Hutas blurted out, “You didn’t deliberately lose to him, did you?”

Lin Manda was rendered speechless. She glared at Hutas, then lowered her head and resumed eating.

Hutas realized his mistake and quickly clarified, “That’s not what I meant. I meant, with your skills and record, it’s unbelievable that you’d lose to someone from Dragon Country. It’s just… incredible. I simply don’t believe it.”

Yang Chen interjected, “Can you stop talking? You’re disturbing our meal. Do you understand what I’m saying? Don’t you know it’s rude to talk while others are eating? If your saliva sprays over here, am I supposed to keep eating? Listen up, anyone who comes within two meters of this table will be escorted away.”

The bodyguards nodded and immediately adopted a defensive stance.

Hutas gritted his teeth and turned to go upstairs. He instructed Salt Bae [a famous Turkish chef and restaurateur] to keep an eye on Yang Chen and Lin Manda and to notify him when they were about to leave.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi arrived at his elder brother’s house looking like a ghost.

Seeing his younger brother so dejected, Anu Bi quickly asked, “Abu Dhabi, what’s wrong? Why do you look so down?”

Abu Dhabi sighed, then hugged his elder brother and began to cry.

Anu Bi panicked. How could his younger brother cry like a child at his age?

“Brother, what’s wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me. Did the Crown Prince scold you again?” Anu Bi asked.

Abu Dhabi shook his head. “I went to see Lin Manda race tonight.”

Anu Bi immediately guessed the truth. “You didn’t lose money again, did you? You didn’t bet on Lin Manda to win, did you?”

Abu Dhabi confessed, “I bet on Lin Manda to win, so I lost. I not only lost another 3 billion U.S. dollars, but Lin Manda also lost to someone else.”

Anu Bi exploded, grabbing his younger brother’s collar. “What did you say? You lost Lin Manda to someone else? How could you use Lin Manda as a bet? She’s my daughter; you’re just her uncle. Why would you bet her?”

Abu Dhabi was speechless and quickly explained that his bet was only 3 billion U.S. dollars, and Lin Manda had lost herself to Yang Chen.

Anu Bi quickly released his younger brother. “So that’s how it is. But how is this possible? Lin Manda has never lost. How could she lose to Yang Chen? Was she threatened by Yang Chen and deliberately lost to him? Yes, she must have been threatened, right?”

Abu Dhabi seemed to understand his elder brother’s implication, but this was Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Defense Group. The consequences of provoking him would be severe.

“Brother, are you sure you want to play this game with the boss of Starlight Defense Group? If he issues an assassination order through Starlight Defense, we won’t be able to go out in public. No, even if we don’t go out, we can’t guarantee our safety. Their assassination skills are the best in the world,” Abu Dhabi warned, fear evident in his voice.

Anu Bi was also afraid. He didn’t want to be hunted down by Starlight Defense globally, but if he didn’t retract his word, his younger brother would have to use the oil field’s equity to cover the 3 billion U.S. dollars he lost to Yang Chen, and his daughter would also belong to Yang Chen. How could he allow that?

As Anu Bi hesitated, Hutas called.

Hutas: “Uncle Anu Bi, did you hear that Lin Manda lost to Yang Chen, the boss of Starlight Defense Group?”

Anu Bi: “Alas… Abu Dhabi just told me. You found out quickly?”

Hutas: “How could I not? They’re swaggering around, eating at Salt Bae’s restaurant. I happen to be eating here too. So many people saw them together; how embarrassing is that for me! I want to know what your family intends to do. You told my parents you wanted me and Lin Manda to try things out, but Lin Manda deliberately lost to Yang Chen, making me lose face in front of everyone. I can’t show my face in public anymore! I don’t care what you do; you need to get Lin Manda home immediately and stop her from flaunting around with Yang Chen. Understand?”

Anu Bi didn’t appreciate Hutas’ tone, but Hutas’ request wasn’t unreasonable, and Anu Bi couldn’t object.

At that moment, Anu Bi had an idea—a way to let others take the fall.

“Hutas, Abu Dhabi just told me that Lin Manda was forced to lose to Yang Chen because Yang Chen threatened her with Starlight Defense’s assassination services. Think about it; Lin Manda is just a girl. How could she not be afraid of being hunted down by such a mercenary company? So, even though she has never lost, she had to deliberately lose to Yang Chen tonight; otherwise, her life might be in danger. I understand your feelings, but believe me, my mood is worse than yours, and my anger is stronger,” Anu Bi said, trying to manipulate the situation.

Hutas had suspected that Lin Manda deliberately lost to Yang Chen. Hearing Anu Bi’s explanation, everything seemed logical.

Hutas said angrily, “Yang Chen is too arrogant. Starlight Defense might be powerful, but he can’t do whatever he wants in our territory! Uncle, don’t you have any ideas? Are you going to let Yang Chen bully Lin Manda like this? If this news spreads throughout the royal family, I definitely won’t marry Lin Manda, and she can forget about marrying anyone in the future. Who would want a woman who has been someone else’s slave?”

Anu Bi panicked. That was true. If a woman’s reputation was ruined here, no one would marry her, and her father and brothers would be ridiculed, causing the entire family to lose face.

Originally, Anu Bi wanted to use Hutas as a pawn, but Hutas’s words turned the tables on him.

Anu Bi quickly said, “Hutas, you know I’ve chosen you as my son-in-law. If everyone knows that Lin Manda was threatened by Yang Chen to lose herself, and you don’t even have the courage to stand up for her, you’ll be ridiculed, and no respectable family’s daughter will marry you. Therefore, we should cooperate and quickly get Lin Manda back.”

Hutas agreed that Anu Bi was right. Everyone knew about Lin Manda’s potential scandal with him. If he didn’t dare to take Lin Manda back, he would be humiliated.

So, they agreed to confront Yang Chen together and retrieve Lin Manda at all costs.

Anu Bi quickly gathered his men and rushed over, while Hutas called for reinforcements to bolster his courage.

Yang Chen and Lin Manda finished dinner.

Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Miss Lin Manda, are you full?”

Lin Manda replied angrily, “I’m so angry I’m full; I don’t need to eat at all.”

Yang Chen wiped his mouth. “Miss Lin Manda, I don’t understand. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong or said anything harsh. Why are you so angry with me?”

Lin Manda: “I have never lost. The first time I lost, I lost myself. Can you say I’m not angry? You are obviously so powerful, but you deliberately pretend to be like you don’t know how. You are too hypocritical.”

Yang Chen: “I didn’t say I couldn’t drive, but it was indeed the first time I played on this kind of field, and I seemed a little rusty and cautious. Isn’t this a normal reaction?”

Lin Manda sighed helplessly, unsure of what to say.

What should I do now? I can’t really become his slave, can I?

“What are you going to do with me?” Lin Manda asked.

Yang Chen: “Since you lost to me, I can do whatever I want with you. This is my right, and I don’t need to notify you.”

Lin Manda: “Then do you know that my father and Hutas will definitely not let you take me away? They will definitely want me back.”

Yang Chen: “Let them come; I’m not afraid. Even if it goes to the Crown Prince, the reason is on my side. Do you think I need to be afraid of your father and Hutas?”

Lin Manda was speechless. She had no choice but to wait for her father and Hutas to find a way to rescue her.

Just as Yang Chen was about to call the waiter to pay the bill, Anu Bi and Abu Dhabi arrived with their entourage.

The two left their bodyguards outside and entered the restaurant.

Simultaneously, Hutas came downstairs, and his reinforcements arrived, waiting at the entrance.

Lin Manda said with a wry smile, “See? I told you my father and Hutas would come to take me back.”

Lin Manda started to get up to greet her father, but Yang Chen grabbed her wrist. “You’re my person now. Without my permission, you can’t go anywhere. You can only move freely when your father manages to take you away from me.”

Seeing Yang Chen holding Lin Manda’s hand in public, Hutas lost control and roared, “What are you doing? Let go of Lin Manda immediately! Take your filthy hands off her!”

Anu Bi quickened his pace and stepped forward to forcibly pull his daughter away.

Lin Manda said with an embarrassed expression, “Dad, Uncle, you’re here.”

Anu Bi asked angrily, “You silly girl, why are you so foolish? If you were threatened, why didn’t you tell your father? This is the Land of Sand, Riyadh, not Dragon Country’s Jingcheng [Beijing]. You don’t need to be afraid of him. Tell everyone, did he threaten you with assassination?”

Anu Bi deliberately misled the public, speaking ambiguously. Lin Manda didn’t understand her father’s intention and replied, “He did scare me with Starlight Defense, and I didn’t dare to resist.”

Lin Manda meant that Yang Chen used Starlight Defense to intimidate her into accepting the bet, not that he threatened her to lose the race.

But Anu Bi’s interpretation was the opposite. He immediately challenged Yang Chen: “Mr. Yang, aren’t you being too arrogant? This is Riyadh; do you think it’s your Dragon Country? You dare to use Starlight Defense to threaten a royal princess. Your behavior is outrageous, and you clearly don’t respect the Land of Sand.”

Hutas added, “You need to explain how you’re going to resolve this. Let me be clear: you threatened a royal princess, and this won’t be easily forgotten. You must give the Land of Sand’s royal family a satisfactory explanation.”

Yang Chen: “Are you two planning to use this tactic to take Miss Lin Manda back? Are you overestimating yourselves or underestimating me? I have no explanation, but try to take Lin Manda away today and see what happens.”

Anu Bi snorted. “Extremely arrogant! I want to see what you can do to us in Riyadh! Hutas, take Lin Manda away; I’ll stay here!”

That old fox is setting Hutas up.

Yang Chen had just warned that anyone who tried to take Lin Manda away would face the consequences, and Anu Bi was now ordering Hutas to do just that while he pretended to stay behind, testing whether Yang Chen would dare to attack Hutas.

Hutas didn’t overthink it and underestimated Yang Chen. He believed that in Riyadh, Yang Chen wouldn’t dare to attack a member of the royal family.

Besides, everyone was watching. If Hutas didn’t have the courage to take away his rumored girlfriend, he would be humiliated.

Therefore, Hutas immediately said to Lin Manda, “Miss Lin Manda, let’s go. Don’t worry; with me here, no one will dare to stop us. If anyone is foolish enough to try, I’ll teach them a lesson!”

Lin Manda was uneasy about leaving her father behind. “Dad, let’s go together; you can’t stay.”

Anu Bi cursed inwardly, “You silly girl, staying behind is the safe option; taking you away is dangerous.”

However, he couldn’t say that aloud. “Lin Manda, don’t worry about Dad’s safety. Dad is a prince; they’ll think twice before touching me. You and Hutas go first; listen to me. Hutas, take Lin Manda away.”

Hutas grabbed Lin Manda’s wrist and pulled her toward the door.

Yang Chen waved his hand, and the bodyguards rushed forward, blocking Hutas and Lin Manda.

Hutas was furious. “Looking for death! Attack! Knock them all down; leave no one standing!”

Hutas’s men rushed in—about 30 of them—and clashed with Yang Chen’s 15 bodyguards.

Salt Bae cried anxiously, “Don’t fight! Don’t fight! If you want to fight, go outside; not in my restaurant!”

Hutas, confident in his abilities, even turned and punched Yang Chen.

Yang Chen retaliated, kicking Hutas, sending him flying several meters. Hutas’s head hit the wall, leaving him dazed and semi-conscious.
