Originally, Yang Chen was vexed by that bizarre passenger.
But now he's in a great mood.
After scoring 50 grams of Mother Tree Da Hong Pao tea and a villa, Yang Chen couldn't be happier if he tried.
Binjiang Villa District is the top villa area in Hai City, where a single villa costs at least 100 million.
Isn't Tangchen Yipin expensive?
But that's a pigeonhole; truly wealthy people don't live there.
Where do truly wealthy people live?
Of course, in a standalone villa in the Binjiang Villa District.
Each villa here has its own garden, pool, garage, etc.
The cheapest costs 100 million, while the most expensive ones go for over 400 million.
The Binjiang No. 1 Villa awarded by the system to Yang Chen was the king of villas when built, setting the standard for villas.
It has the largest area, the highest price, and the best location, with a current market price of 480 million.
This villa has been vacant for over a year and is finally welcoming its new owner.
Yang Chen happily opened the cup lid, blew lightly, then took a sip.
Whether it was psychological or not, Yang Chen found the tea delicious.
"Hmm, definitely worth being over ten thousand per gram, the taste is great," Yang Chen happily talked to himself.
It wasn't early anymore, and Yang Chen thought he should head home.
He put the cup down and was fastening his seatbelt when the passenger door was suddenly opened by someone.
Yang Chen got startled and turned his head to see a beautiful woman with flowing long hair.
At first glance, the long hair seemed nice, but looking closer at her tattooed arms and legs, Yang Chen started to get scared.
Goodness, those floral tattoos on her arms and legs scream "society person."
Though tattoos are a personal choice, after witnessing a few tattooed guys getting into fights, Yang Chen subconsciously avoided people with tattoos.
Especially when a girl has so many tattoos, most people would think she's definitely not a good person.
Yang Chen quickly said, "Miss, what do you mean by this?"
The girl immediately locked the car doors, then took out a stack of cash from her bag and tossed it on the dashboard, saying, "Drive! This money is all yours."
Wow, a little rich lady indeed.
However, with Yang Chen's current status, he drives for ride-hailing services for two reasons only.
First, to get negative reviews and receive rewards.
Second, to find something to do, so as not to waste away.
Old me is about to have a 400 million villa, would I care about this little money?
Yang Chen quickly replied, "Sorry, this isn't a taxi, it's a ride-hailing car. You need to book through the platform. If the platform assigns me, I'll take you. If not, I can't. Also, I'm already off work and about to go home to sleep. So, sorry, I can't take you, please get off and find another one."
The tattooed girl turned and glared at Yang Chen, angrily saying, "Why so much nonsense? Since you're a ride-hailing driver, I pay you, and you drive. Is it not enough? I can transfer to you via Alipay or WeChat, how much do you want?"
Yang Chen hurriedly explained, "Miss, it's not about the money. I'm off work now, do you understand? And throwing cash down right away just made me uncomfortable. So there's no way I can take you. Please get out of the car!"
"Hey! I'm taking your car today!" the tattooed girl insisted.
Just then, a young man in shorts was calling on his phone while knocking on the passenger window.
The girl immediately warned Yang Chen, "I'm warning you, if you dare open the window or the door, I'll bite you to death."
The shorts guy gestured at Yang Chen to open the door.
Though Yang Chen didn't like people with tattoos, a girl getting harassed by a guy is dangerous at this time of night.
Out of a sense of justice, Yang Chen asked, "Do you know him?"
The girl replied with annoyance, "No!"
The shorts guy then came to the driver's side, knocked on the window a few times, signaling Yang Chen to open the door.
Obviously, they looked like a fighting couple.
However, Yang Chen kept his guard up and didn't open the door, only rolling down the window.
The shorts guy put away his phone, impatiently gesturing with his fingers for Yang Chen to open the door.
Yang Chen quickly asked, "Buddy, do you know each other?"
The shorts guy immediately replied in annoyance, "Crap! She's my girlfriend, you tell me if I know her?"
The tattooed girl immediately exclaimed, "Who's your girlfriend! We were just on a date, how am I your girlfriend?"
The shorts guy chuckled and said, "Wang Qian Ni, your family owes mine 50 million and can't repay it. Your dad used you as collateral, you can't be unaware, right? Pretending to be dumb with me? Today I wanted to be a gentleman, have a meal, watch a movie, then sleep with you. Do you really think we were just dating? Get back for dinner, then we'll watch a movie, and head to a hotel afterward. I've got it all set. Don't ruin my mood. Otherwise, I'll take people to your house for debt collection tomorrow! By then, even if your dad kneels and kowtows to me, it'll be useless, he must repay!"
Wang Qian Ni immediately said to Yang Chen, "You heard that? We're not a couple. If you hand me over to him, he'll rape me, and you'll be an accomplice."
Great, damn, I'm just a ride-hailing driver, why drag me into this big corporate mess?
The shorts guy pointed at Yang Chen threateningly, "Kid, this has nothing to do with you, don't get involved. Open the door, I take her, and you can go."
Yang Chen glared at the shorts guy, then said to Wang Qian Ni, "Miss, why don't you call the police? Or I can help you report it. I'm just a ride-hailing driver, don't want to get involved in your company's disputes. Okay?"
"Why are you such a coward? You're just a coward!" Wang Qian Ni cursed.
"Damn! Your family owes their family money, your dad pawned you off to them, you're calling me a coward? Isn't your dad the coward? He can't even protect his daughter! I have nothing to do with you; I have no obligation to protect you. If needed, I can help call the police! Understand?" Yang Chen replied bluntly, then he unlocked the car door.
The shorts guy smiled smugly, "Brother, you know what's up."
Having said that, the shorts guy went over to unlock the passenger side door and grabbed Wang Qian Ni's arm, trying to pull her out.
Wang Qian Ni desperately held onto Yang Chen's arm, and the three ended up at an impasse.
Wang Qian Ni pleaded, "Brother, please, help me, okay? If he takes me away, he'll definitely rape me."
"Then call the police!" Yang Chen said.
"I want to call the police, but if things go bad, my family can't repay him," Wang Qian Ni replied.
She has a point, her family won't repay the money, and she doesn't want to pay with her body, so she hopes this ride-hailing driver can save her?
Before Yang Chen could reply, the shorts guy, seeing Wang Qian Ni's waist and thighs, became aroused and, with animalistic desire, said, "Wang Qian Ni, you ungrateful bitch, I won't even bother with dinner or a movie, we'll do it right here in the car! Dude, start the car to the outskirts, I'll have my way with her then let you, it's your lucky day! Don't worry, her dad owes our family money, and has secretly agreed to use his daughter to pay the debt, nothing will happen. Ha-ha..."
Having said that, the shorts guy closed the door and tried to get in through the back.
Yang Chen immediately locked all the car doors.
Although Yang Chen really didn't want to get involved in their mess, the shorts guy's words were just too over the line, lacking even the basic dignity.
If Yang Chen let the shorts guy into the car, wouldn't it mean he lacked basic human decency too?
The shorts guy, unable to open the car door, ran to the front of the car and banged on the hood, yelling, "Kid, don't act stupid! I'm Zhang Hengzhi, the young master of Yao Wu Group! You dare take her away, and I'll dig up Hai City to find and kill you!"
