The Great Tyrannosaurus Rex Egg Heist—What’s Wrong with a Little Money for a Ride-Hailing Driver Like Me?
At 3:30 PM, Liu’s mother arrived at Prince Gong’s Mansion. After identifying herself to the guard, she was immediately escorted inside, where she found Yang Chen and Liu Tianxian cuddling while watching Douyin [a popular Chinese video-sharing app, similar to TikTok].
Seeing them embracing, Liu’s mother wondered if things were moving too fast or if they had been together for a long time.
However, noticing how handsome the young man was, she thought her daughter had good taste.
Yang Chen and Liu Tianxian quickly got up from the lounge chair to greet Liu’s mother.
Liu Tianxian cheerfully ran up and took her mother’s arm, saying, “Mom, you’re here! Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Yang Chen, who is also the current owner of Prince Gong’s Mansion. He’s the CEO of Starlight Group.”
Liu’s mother was shocked, her mouth agape. Her daughter’s boyfriend was actually the legendary CEO of Starlight Group! She couldn’t believe it.
Yang Chen smiled and said to Liu’s mother, “Hello, Auntie, it’s nice to meet you. Please, have a seat.”
Liu’s mother smiled so widely she could barely close her mouth, saying, “So you’re the CEO of Starlight Group! I’ve heard so much about you. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person. Mr. Yang is young and handsome, completely different from what I imagined.”
Yang Chen asked with a smile, “Then what did Auntie imagine me to be like?”
Liu’s mother replied very honestly, “I thought the boss of so many powerful companies would be like Mr. Ma [likely referring to Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba] and the others, in their forties or fifties, and not very attractive. That would be fairer. It seems unfair that Mr. Yang is so good at business and so handsome. We were all born into this world, so why do you have everything?”
It seemed that Auntie Liu was quite the conversationalist, making Yang Chen laugh non-stop.
The nanny brought over the cleaned fruit, and Yang Chen invited Liu’s mother to sit down, eat, and chat.
Since it was his girlfriend’s mother’s first visit, he definitely had to keep her for dinner.
After dinner, the mother and daughter enjoyed the night view of Prince Gong’s Mansion and didn’t leave until after ten o’clock.
After seeing Liu Tianxian and her mother off, Yang Chen quickly went to the backyard.
Yang Chen arrived in front of the Gate of Time and Space and communicated with the system mentally.
Yang Chen: “System, how do I go to the Jurassic period now?”
System: “Master, just think about going to the Jurassic period and walk through this door. It is recommended that you drive there, as it may be useful when necessary.”
Yang Chen: “Huh? Drive there?”
After thinking about it, it made sense. Yang Chen’s car had anti-explosion and bulletproof features, making it relatively sturdy. It might protect him at a critical moment.
Yang Chen quickly went to the parking lot, drove his car over, thought about the Jurassic period, and drove through the Gate of Time and Space.
Yang Chen felt a bright light that was too dazzling, so he quickly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Before him were towering trees, and outside the forest, a group of long-necked sauropods were eating leaves. In the nearby grassland, some Triceratops were grazing, and several pterosaurs were flying in the sky.
Next to the forest was a lake, with various animals drinking and playing by the water.
Yang Chen thought this period would be full of slaughter, but he didn’t expect it to be such a happy and harmonious scene.
“This era is much more harmonious than our era.
Maybe there are enough resources, so there’s no need to fight desperately for survival,” Yang Chen said to himself.
Rarely seeing a scene only found in movies, Yang Chen quickly took out his phone to take videos and photos to remember it.
If movies were filmed here, even the sets and special effects could be saved.
After taking the photos, Yang Chen thought of a very real problem. He came here with a mission, needing to bring back two Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs, but where would he find them?
Just then, a bird call came from the forest, and then a flock of birds flew into the sky.
Then some animals ran out of the forest, looking like they were escaping for their lives.
Soon, Yang Chen heard a roar from the forest. Yang Chen had never heard this sound before and couldn’t tell what animal made it.
But one thing was certain: this animal was definitely not simple. Its roar was very intimidating, scaring other animals to flee, including herbivores like Triceratops, all scattering and running away.
Just as Yang Chen was puzzled, an oversized Tyrannosaurus Rex swaggered out of the forest.
Yang Chen was just worried about how to find a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and here it was, taking the initiative to appear.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly rushed towards the fleeing animals. An injured wild boar was targeted. It quickly rushed towards the wild boar, caught up, and bit it, then shook the wild boar violently, killing it in just a few shakes.
Yang Chen watched the Tyrannosaurus Rex in shock. A wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds was nothing to the Tyrannosaurus Rex, killed with one bite.
Yang Chen hid in the car, nervously watching the Tyrannosaurus Rex eat, and secretly filmed the process with his phone.
Yang Chen suddenly had an idea: why not film a Dragon Country [a common nickname for China] version of “Jurassic Park”?
This is all real-scene shooting, much better than Hollywood’s special effects.
Unfortunately, he didn’t bring professional filming equipment this time, so he could only use his phone to film it simply.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex quickly ate a large wild boar. It didn’t seem full and turned its attention to the distant grassland.
The roar of the car didn’t belong to this world. Yang Chen was worried that starting the car would attract the attention of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and other beasts, so he had to get out of the car and carefully walk into the forest to see if there were any Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs.
At this moment, the system issued a reminder.
System: “The system has detected Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs nearby. Please follow the guide to retrieve the eggs.”
In that instant, a route guidance sign appeared in front of Yang Chen, visible only to him. He only needed to follow the sign to find the Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs.
It was Yang Chen’s first time in this environment, and he was indeed a little nervous. There could be danger everywhere, and it wasn’t just the Tyrannosaurus Rex that posed a threat to him.
Yang Chen used the cover of the tall weeds to come to the forest. The trees here were really tall, each requiring two or three Yang Chens to join hands to encircle.
Yang Chen walked forward cautiously, hiding behind each tree to see the surrounding situation before moving to the next tree.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and he finally found the Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs.
There were exactly two eggs here, but they were too big. Yang Chen picked up one in each hand, feeling like he was holding two gas tanks.
He shouldn’t stay here long and needed to get back to the car quickly.
Several birds in the trees were quietly watching Yang Chen. Although they had no expression, their eyes clearly showed shock and doubt.
What kind of animal is this?
He actually dares to steal Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs. How brave.
Speaking of which, Yang Chen should thank the Tyrannosaurus Rex just now, because its appearance scared away the large and small beasts in the surrounding area, allowing Yang Chen to get the dragon eggs so smoothly.
He was cautious when he came, but he strode back, and it only took him fifteen minutes to get out of the forest.
When Yang Chen came near the car, he was almost scared to shout. Two Velociraptors were surrounding the car, very curiously circling it, as they had never seen a car before.
Yang Chen quickly and carefully lay on the ground, hoping they would leave after looking at it.
However, less than three seconds after he lay down, a roar came from the forest. The Tyrannosaurus Rex parents discovered that their precious eggs were missing and were roaring madly, searching everywhere.
Yang Chen was fully alert to his surroundings. If the situation was not right, he would have to abandon the car and carry the eggs back himself.
As the roar of the Tyrannosaurus Rex parents grew closer, the two Velociraptors sensed the danger and quickly ran away.
Ah, it still had to be the Tyrannosaurus Rex, clearing all obstacles for Yang Chen to steal their precious eggs.
Yang Chen made sure that the two Velociraptors had run far away before carefully getting up, carrying the dragon eggs, and getting into the car.
However, his every move was seen by a pterosaur circling in the sky. Just as Yang Chen put the eggs in the back seat and was about to get into the driver’s seat, a huge black shadow rushed down.
Yang Chen sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged. The pterosaur crashed into the car, denting the car body, but it was also dazed and disoriented.
Yang Chen took the opportunity to get in the car, start it, and prepare to escape. At this time, more pterosaurs rushed down from the sky, their target being Yang Chen’s car.
At the same time, the Tyrannosaurus Rex parents ran out. They heard the roar of the car and immediately felt that the thing making this strange sound must have stolen their dragon eggs, so they immediately chased after it.
Yang Chen quickly drove away, with the Tyrannosaurus Rex chasing behind and the pterosaurs chasing in the sky. This was too exciting.
However, to avoid over-excitement and overturning, Yang Chen quickly summoned the Gate of Time and Space.
Yang Chen: “System, summon the Gate of Time and Space.”
System: “Received master’s command, the Gate of Time and Space has been opened.”
A virtual door appeared in front of Yang Chen, and he immediately stepped on the gas and rushed over.
After a familiar dazzling light, Yang Chen returned to his era.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at the disappearing car in horror, standing in the place where the car disappeared for a long time, unwilling to leave.
Seeing the familiar room decorations again, Yang Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it, it was quite exciting just now. If he had the chance, he would definitely go again, preferably with some tools, to directly capture a few live dinosaurs.
Yang Chen looked at the two huge dinosaur eggs, a happy smile on his face.
He needed to hatch these two eggs quickly. When the Velociraptors from the United States came over, Yang Chen would take the Tyrannosaurus Rex hatched from these two eggs to exhibit next door, mainly to be tit-for-tat.
Yang Chen happily got out of the car and carefully took down the two Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs. He put the eggs in a large travel bag and would send them to Tianyang Embryo Company for incubation tomorrow.
However, Yang Chen only obtained 100% equity of Tianyang Embryo Company, which does not mean that the employees in the company are absolutely loyal to him.
Would it be unsafe to take these two Tyrannosaurus Rex eggs to incubate tomorrow?
Yang Chen hid the two dinosaur eggs and decided to inspect Tianyang Spare Tire Company tomorrow before doing anything else.
Early in the morning, Yang Chen drove out to run errands. It was easy to get orders during the morning rush hour, and he ran 3 orders in an hour.
Yang Chen planned to rest for a while and then go to Tianyang Embryo Company. At this time, the system pushed another order to him, which happened to be in the direction of Tianyang Embryo Company, so Yang Chen accepted it.
Yang Chen picked up the passengers according to the location. There were four passengers in total, and the car was full.
Yang Chen checked the last digits of their phone numbers and their destination with them, and then drove towards the destination.
The family seemed to be traveling from out of town, and they were discussing where to go after waking up from their nap at the hotel.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, but an accident happened when the two lanes merged into one lane ahead.
According to traffic laws, if there is traffic congestion, this type of road condition should follow the zipper merge rule, and the cars in front were following this rule to merge alternately.
When it was Yang Chen’s car’s turn to merge, the car in the adjacent lane also rushed up, and the two cars collided.
Yang Chen stopped the car and said to the passengers, “I’m sorry, everyone, there’s been a little accident. I’ll go down and take care of it.”
Just as Yang Chen unbuckled his seat belt, the female driver of the car next to him rushed to the front of his car and slammed the hood, roaring, “Are you blind! Can you drive?”
Yang Chen was originally planning not to bother with it, but hearing the driver’s words, it seemed that she didn’t think it was her problem, but Yang Chen’s problem.
“Madam, please look at the traffic laws, how to drive when two lanes merge into one lane in congested traffic, and then think carefully about who is blind and who can’t drive. Okay?” Yang Chen retorted directly.
The female driver argued, “I don’t care about your alternate merging. If I don’t let you cut in, you can’t cut in.”
Yang Chen could only patiently explain to her, “Brother, this situation is not called cutting in, it’s called zipper merge, understand?”
The female driver put on an unyielding look, saying, “I don’t understand these things. Anyway, I just won’t let you cut in. You insisted on cutting in, so the responsibility is on you. What brand of trash car is this? I’ve never even seen it before. Mine is a Mercedes C, so what do you say? Settle it privately or publicly?”
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying, “Then let’s do it publicly. Call the police and let the traffic police handle it.”
Yang Chen said to the passengers, “Everyone, I’m sorry, there’s been a little accident. I can’t take you to your destination. I’ll pay for you to take a taxi there. Okay?”
The older sister who took the taxi immediately said, “You drive too carelessly, don’t you look when changing lanes and cutting in? Can’t you see if there are conditions for changing lanes and cutting in?”
Yang Chen was also speechless and quickly replied, “Madam, I’m not changing lanes and cutting in, but merging lanes. She should have slowed down or stopped to let me merge first, and then it would be her turn to merge.”
The older sister immediately said with a look of disdain, “Don’t talk nonsense, I’m taking driving lessons, and I know the traffic rules better than you. You male drivers are all like this, refusing to admit your mistakes and bullying female drivers when you see them. Don’t you think I know you?”
What the hell?
Can this also be used to promote feminism?
Yang Chen was too lazy to explain to her and decided to wait for the traffic police to handle it.
It was already congested, and now it was even more congested. The traffic police quickly came over to see what was going on. Before Yang Chen could speak, the female driver immediately complained to the traffic police.
“Traffic police comrades, look, there is no condition for changing lanes on such a congested road, but he forcibly changed lanes and cut in. After the accident, not only did he not admit his mistake, but he also tried to push the responsibility onto me. Don’t you think he is too bad?”
Yang Chen was still too lazy to explain and found the driving recorder video for the traffic police to watch. The traffic police knew what was going on. After watching the video, they understood what was going on.
The traffic police comrade explained to the female driver, “He is not changing lanes and cutting in. When two lanes merge into one lane, if the road conditions are not congested, the cars behind should actively slow down and let the cars in front merge first. If it is a congested road condition like now, the cars on the two lanes should merge into the lane alternately. From his driving recorder, it was indeed his car’s turn to merge into the lane, and your car should have waited for his car to merge before entering the lane. Have I explained it clearly enough?”
The female driver looked at the traffic police in shock and immediately questioned, “Are you in cahoots with him? Otherwise, how could you say exactly the same thing as him? Don’t think you can bully me because I’m a female driver and don’t understand. My driver’s license was obtained through a proper exam, not bought, understand?”
The older sister in the car interjected, “Don’t discriminate against us female drivers and treat us like fools. It was clearly his lane change and cut-in that caused the accident. What are you talking about alternate driving? Beauty, don’t be afraid, I support you. I am a beauty blogger with more than one million followers on platforms such as Douyin and Red Book [another popular Chinese social media platform]. I will film this and post it online to let more people speak out. Women can hold up half the sky, and we must not let them bully us!”
The female driver immediately nodded and said, “I seem to have seen you before. Are you called Chi Hong?”
The female passenger immediately nodded happily and said, “Yes! You really know me. Hehe… Then I must help you even more. I will post the video online and will definitely let more like-minded sisters help you.”
The female driver nodded excitedly and said, “Yes. Thank you. Next time you sell goods, I will definitely support a few more orders.”
The female passenger nodded and said, “Thank you for your support.”
Yang Chen, the traffic police, and other onlookers were all stunned. Was this the mutual appreciation of two masters in the feminist world?
The traffic police comrade immediately reminded, “Don’t talk nonsense. What I just said are all traffic laws, not discriminatory remarks against female drivers. You can take videos, but you are not allowed to cut them off or edit them. Put the original video online. If the video is intentionally edited and deliberately creates a rhythm, you will bear legal responsibility.”
The female passenger held her phone at Yang Chen and the traffic police, saying, “Don’t worry, I will never maliciously edit it and will definitely let netizens see your most authentic faces.”
The traffic police comrade immediately warned, “Comrade, please watch your words. What do you mean by faces? Can I say you are a face? You are still a blogger, but you don’t even understand basic etiquette. I will say it one last time, you can post complete videos that have not been edited. If you cut them off or even maliciously edit them, we will definitely pursue your legal responsibility. It won’t be enough for you to cry and apologize and say a few nice words. You will definitely bear the legal consequences. Mercedes driver, come over, I will now issue a responsibility determination letter. You bear the main responsibility for the accident. If you don’t agree, you can apply for a review.”
The female driver immediately replied, “I definitely don’t agree, and I will definitely apply for a review.”
The female passenger filmed while encouraging, “Sister, don’t worry, I have more than one million followers and will definitely uphold justice for you. I will now give this driver a bad review and complain about his dangerous driving.”
