Deliberately Losing to Yang Chen Again—So What If a Ride-Hailing Driver Has Some Money?
Linda’s words shocked Salamon and the others. Did she even know what she was saying?
Did she even realize what it meant for a beautiful young woman to become the private property of a normal man?
Anubis said sternly, “Linda, don’t talk nonsense! You are a member of the royal family. How can you become the private property of a foreigner? This will not only damage your personal reputation but also tarnish the reputation of our entire royal family. Don’t say such things again, do you hear me?”
Linda: “Dad, I understand what you mean. But as a member of the royal family, should we go back on our word and refuse to accept defeat? No matter what, it’s a fact that I lost to him. If we don’t honor the bet just because I’m a member of the royal family, what will others think of us?”
Salamon immediately scolded, “Shut your mouth and don’t say such things again. Mr. Yang, name your price. No matter how much you ask for, Anubis will definitely satisfy it.”
Anubis looked at Salamon in shock, the words reaching his lips but then being swallowed back down.
What a disaster! He hadn’t even finished cleaning up his brother’s mess, and now he had to clean up his daughter’s. He was getting old and still couldn’t catch a break.
Yang Chen smiled and replied, “Your Highness, that makes me feel awkward. How about we just cancel the bet between Miss Linda and me, and pretend nothing happened? Would that be okay?”
Salamon: “That definitely won’t work! Just as Linda said, as members of the royal family, we can’t go back on our word. If word gets out, where will we put the royal family’s face? Ask for whatever you want, and don’t have any reservations.”
Yang Chen: “I think Miss Linda is a person and shouldn’t be measured by money. If you really put a price on her, then she’s no longer a person but a commodity. I can’t name a price. If Your Highness insists, then you come up with a price, and I definitely won’t haggle.”
Yang Chen’s words sounded a bit weak, but Salamon didn’t dare to take him lightly.
“Anubis, how much do you think your daughter is worth? Just give Mr. Yang that much money,” Salamon said, pushing the problem to Anubis.
Anubis was really in a dilemma. Giving too much would hurt, and giving too little might not satisfy Yang Chen. It was really hard to give a definite price.
Yang Chen said with a smile, “Alright, don’t make Mr. Anubis feel embarrassed. Miss Linda, go back with your father.”
Linda immediately refused, “No! I can’t lose and not admit it! Dad, let me handle this myself. Don’t interfere.”
Anubis: “Nonsense! Mr. Yang, I’ll give you 500 million US dollars to redeem my daughter. What do you think?”
Yang Chen: “Haha… I said earlier, you name a price, and I won’t haggle. Mr. Anubis says 500 million US dollars, then it’s 500 million US dollars.”
Anubis: “Okay! I’ll raise the money as soon as possible. My brother’s 3 billion US dollars, my daughter’s 500 million US dollars, a total of 3.5 billion US dollars will be transferred to Mr. Yang. After Mr. Yang receives the money, you and my brother and daughter will be completely clear.”
Yang Chen: “Alright, let’s do as you say. Your Highness, I’m going back to rest. Goodbye.”
Salamon: “Okay. Mr. Yang, take care, good night.”
Yang Chen nodded with a smile and left with his bodyguards.
Deliberately Losing to Yang Chen Again—So What If a Ride-Hailing Driver Has Some Money?
At the scene.
After everyone from the Star Defense Group left, Anubis asked, somewhat disgruntled and angry, “Your Highness, isn’t his behavior too much? What does he think this place is? And what does he think of you? He actually dared to bring so many armed people. It’s too arrogant. Is there really nothing we can do about him?”
Salamon gritted his teeth and said, “What can we do? Who dares to say they can survive under the global kill order of the Star Defense Group? You don’t need to worry too much. Think about it from another angle. As long as I maintain a good relationship with Yang Chen, his people won’t pose a threat to us. We can even borrow his people when necessary. The new king of the UAE [United Arab Emirates], Harvard, successfully secured his throne with the help of Yang Chen’s people. He can get along so well with Yang Chen, why can’t I?”
Since the Crown Prince had spoken, Anubis didn’t dare to say anything more, lest he say something wrong and get into trouble.
Salamon looked at Linda, and the anger in his stomach flared up. She had won over a hundred matches, so why did she have to lose this one?
But there was no point in saying these things now. He just hoped Anubis could raise the money smoothly and return it to Yang Chen.
On the way home, Linda was sullen.
Anubis thought she was upset about the 500 million US dollars, so he comforted her, “Don’t be sad. As long as we can protect you, Dad is willing to spend 500 million US dollars. Money can be earned back, but if your reputation is ruined, Dad will be very sad.”
Linda didn’t say anything. In reality, she wasn’t sad about the 500 million US dollars. She was sad that she couldn’t become Yang Chen’s private property.
Because if Linda became Yang Chen’s private property, she could follow Yang Chen to Dragon Country [China], and she could escape everything here.
Who doesn’t yearn for the civilized and free Dragon Country?
Linda suddenly said, “Dad, I want to compete with Yang Chen again. I think I definitely won’t lose again. If I can defeat him, I can not only protect my reputation but also get back the money I lost to him. What do you say?”
Anubis looked shocked and said, “Of course not! Are you crazy? You just lost to him, and you still want to compete with him? If you lose again, I won’t have money to redeem you.”
What Linda wanted was for her dad not to have money to redeem her. Hearing her dad say this, she instantly became excited and quickly said, “Dad, you have to have confidence in me. The first time, I wasn’t familiar with his habits and routines. Now that I’m familiar with his tactics, I insist on competing with him again.”
Anubis immediately refused, “I strongly disagree with you competing with him again. Don’t mention this matter again. Go home and sleep.”
On the other side, Yang Chen returned to the hotel and went to sleep.
About two hours later, Linda actually came over.
The guard at the door quickly called Yang Chen and reported, “Mr. Yang, Miss Linda is here to see you. Should we let her in?”
Yang Chen thought he had misheard and asked, “Who?”
The bodyguard quickly replied, “Miss Linda.”
Yang Chen: “Ah? What is she doing here at this hour? Let her in, and tell her to come directly to the bedroom to find me.”
Bodyguard: “Okay.”
The bodyguard hung up the phone and said to Linda, “Miss Linda, Mr. Yang said you can go in. After you go in, go directly to the bedroom to find him.”
Linda instantly became nervous, but she still mustered the courage to walk in.
In fact, she didn’t need to be nervous or scared. Yang Chen didn’t have any ideas about her. It was just that he didn’t want to get out of bed, so he asked Linda to come to the bedroom to talk.
Linda cautiously walked into the bedroom. Yang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at her, asking, “Miss Linda, why aren’t you sleeping at this hour? What are you doing here?”
Linda: “I’ll get straight to the point. I want to compete with you again. If I win, everything my uncle and I lost to you will be canceled. If you win, I’ll still use myself as a bet. What do you say?”
Yang Chen instantly woke up and said, “I’m a little confused. Your dad just redeemed you with 500 million US dollars, and now you want to use yourself as a bet to compete with me again?”
Linda: “Yes, that’s what I mean.”
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh and said, “You’re so awesome, does your dad know?”
Linda: “He knows. Just tell me if you dare to compete with me again.”
Yang Chen: “What do I have to be afraid of? I’ll see you at the racetrack tomorrow night.”
Linda: “Okay! It’s a deal. I’ll see you at the racetrack tomorrow night. Then I won’t disturb your rest, goodbye.”
Yang Chen nodded and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.
Although Yang Chen didn’t understand what Linda wanted to do, since Linda personally ran over to issue a challenge late at night, Yang Chen still had to respond.
Anubis didn’t dare to delay for a moment. He raised 3.5 billion US dollars in just one morning and then transferred it to Yang Chen’s several Swiss bank accounts.
Just as Yang Chen received the notification of the deposit, Anubis called him.
Anubis: “Mr. Yang, all 3.5 billion US dollars have been transferred. There are no more entanglements between my brother and daughter and you.”
Yang Chen: “Okay, I received it. Thanks.”
Anubis laughed and said, “You’re welcome. Then I won’t disturb you, goodbye.”
Anubis quickly went to the Crown Prince to plead, hoping to get Adubi released.
Salamon sighed and said, “It’s not that I have to punish Adubi, but he lost too much. After you go back, persuade him not to gamble anymore. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient with him.”
Anubis quickly replied, “Understood, understood. Thank you, Your Highness, for your tolerance. I will definitely educate my brother well. Then I’ll go pick him up and take him home. I hope Your Highness will say a word.”
Salamon nodded and said, “Go ahead, I’ll call and notify them to release him.”
Anubis, as a brother and father, really had nothing to say. He had indeed fulfilled his responsibilities.
Anubis prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited his brother’s family to enjoy it together.
Eating wasn’t the main thing. The main thing was that he wanted to discuss the 3 billion US dollars with his brother.
Out of brotherly affection, Anubis took out most of his assets to help his brother pay off his gambling debts.
But this money was just an advance, not a free gift. Even close brothers had to settle accounts clearly. Anubis asked Adubi to come up with a reasonable solution.
Adubi immediately cried to his brother, “Brother, I’m not lying to you, I really don’t have any money. If it were a small amount, I could scrape it together. But this is 3 billion US dollars, I really can’t do anything about it. If it really doesn’t work, you can take the shares of those oil fields I hold to offset the debt. What do you think? But, I have a request, you have to support my family.”
Good heavens, he was playing like this?
He helped him pay off his gambling debts, and now he wanted to use his oil field shares to offset the 3 billion US dollars. From now on, the brother would also have to bear the responsibility of supporting the younger brother’s family. Who would do that?
Anubis quickly said, “If you really can’t afford to eat, I can provide you with three meals a day. But you want me to support your family, I can’t do that. I’m already tired enough taking care of my own family, and you actually want to hand over your family to me. Wouldn’t I go crazy?”
Adubi shamelessly asked, “Then what should I do? If I give you all the oil field shares, I won’t have any income. If you don’t help me support my family, won’t my family have to drink the northwest wind [suffer from poverty]? We’re brothers, and you’re the older brother, you wouldn’t really be so heartless, would you?”
Anubis was speechless, feeling as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He wanted to vomit but couldn’t, and he couldn’t swallow it either.
However, something even more uncomfortable happened to Anubis. His daughter Linda called.
Anubis blamed, “Linda, where did you run off to again? I told you to come back for dinner, but you didn’t want to. Where are you? What did you do?”
Linda didn’t speak, but there was a faint sound of sobbing.
Anubis quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Are you crying? What happened?”
Linda adjusted her emotions and said, “Dad, I… I lost to Yang Chen again.”
Anubis almost fainted on the spot, but fortunately, his brother next to him supported him.
Adubi: “Brother, what’s wrong? What happened?”
Anubis calmed down a little and picked up the phone again, asking, “You’re not kidding me, are you? Didn’t I tell you not to look for him to compete again last night? Why won’t you listen! Are you only satisfied when you’ve angered me to death?”
Linda deliberately lost to Yang Chen, and no matter how her dad tried to dissuade her, it was useless.
Linda quickly replied, “I really thought the last time was just a mistake. As long as I don’t make mistakes, I’ll definitely win. But I didn’t expect his driving skills to be so good, not giving me any chance at all. I lost to him again. Dad, does our family still have money? Can you redeem me one more time?”
Anubis was furious and roared, “Do you think I run a bank? Your uncle’s 3 billion US dollars, your 500 million US dollars, I’ve already spent all my money, and now I only have some oil field shares left. You can’t possibly want me to sell the oil fields, can you? That’s our lifeline, we absolutely can’t sell it!”
Linda was secretly delighted. As long as her dad didn’t have money, he wouldn’t be able to redeem her, and she could go to Dragon Country with Yang Chen.
“Then… then forget it, I’ll just handle it myself,” Linda said.
Anubis: “You handle it? How are you going to handle it? You’re not thinking of becoming his private property again, are you? I’m telling you, no way, absolutely not! Is Yang Chen next to you? I want to talk to him for a few words.”
Linda handed the phone to Yang Chen and said, “My dad wants to talk to you.”
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, took the phone, and asked, “Mr. Anubis, your daughter is really stubborn. She had to find me to compete again. I didn’t want to agree at first, but she came to my room late last night, and I thought it would be impolite not to agree.”
Anubis was so shocked that he didn’t dare to speak. Linda actually went to Yang Chen’s bedroom last night. Did anything happen between them?
“You’re not lying to me, are you? Then did you two do anything? I’m warning you, you can’t touch her. Otherwise, I’ll fight you to the death!” Anubis roared angrily.
Yang Chen: “What do you take me for? Do I jump on every woman I see? She just came to my bedroom to issue a challenge, and she left after issuing the challenge. Don’t think nonsense.”
Anubis: “Okay! Then how much are you going to ask for this time? Is 500 million US dollars still okay?”
Yang Chen: “Of course not! The first time, I was giving the Crown Prince face, so I accepted your 500 million US dollar redemption plan. This time, I can’t accept the 500 million US dollar redemption price anymore. It has to be at least 3 billion US dollars. Mr. Anubis, prepare yourself well.”
Anubis: “Three billion US dollars? Are you crazy? Why don’t you just rob me?”
Yang Chen: “Haha… Robbing isn’t as fast as this method of making money! Look, I’ve only been in Riyadh for a few days, and I’ve already earned tens of millions of US dollars. I’ve given you the price, whether you can meet my requirements depends on you. I won’t talk to you anymore, think about it carefully.”
Anubis: “…”
What Yang Chen said made sense. Robbing a bank wasn’t as fast as he was making money.
Anyway, without 3 billion US dollars this time, Anubis shouldn’t think about redeeming Linda, even if Salamon came forward again, not a penny less.
