Chapter 592: What A Coincidence
Translator: VinceStar Editor: PrisMiko
âHurry up and drive or else suffer the consequences.â Yang Ming was unlike Chen Mengyan who liked to talk about principle. If words couldnât do the trick, violence would come forward. This was Yang Mingâs style.
âItâs alright to drive⌠butâŚâ The taxi driver patted the meter in front of him. âSee the number above? When you arrive at the place, pay in full!â
âDo you dare to say it again?â Yang Ming sneered at the taxi driver.
âI would say the same even ten thousand times!â Since both Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were sitting in the back of the car, there was a protective fence between the driver and them. The driver wasnât afraid of what Yang Ming would do to him. If Yang Ming dared to get off, the driver would drive away directly!
â Pak ,â Yang Ming slammed into the protective window of the taxi with a punch. Immediately, a large dent appeared on the protective window.
The taxi driver was shocked, âWhat are you doing?â
âWould you believe that I can hit your head with the next punch?â Yang Ming said coldly, âHurry up and drive. Donât be wordy!â
âI will drive⌠You canât just vandalize my carâŚâ The taxi driver was obviously scared by Yang Mingâs move, and he had to whisper softly.
âI can destroy your car. Do you believe it or not?â Yang Ming heard his whisper and said this while glaring.
âI will drive⌠Isnât it alright if I driveâŚâ The taxi drive cursed on his misfortune deep down in his heart. Many go out for wool and come home shorn [1] . The taxi driver didnât expect Yang Ming to be so fierce that he could suddenly make a dent in the st.u.r.dy protective fence.
âLook, this kind of person is useless to reason with. He deserves violence!â Yang Ming pointed to the taxi driver. In fact, he was also explaining to Chen Mengyan that sometimes violence was a last resort. It was to prevent Chen Mengyan from saying that he was rude.
Chen Mengyan sighed. What Yang Ming said made sense. When I said that I would file a complaint on him, the driver wasnât afraid. Instead, when Yang Ming made a move, he became honest. What kind of person is he?
As soon as the taxi driver heard Yang Ming, he was immediately enraged. He wasnât a good person. There would be some sc.u.ms in any industry. For example, Xu Songshu, the driver who was driving now, was originally a punk. Later, when he was too old to mingle around the underworld, he managed to become a taxi driver. But he still had some contacts with the punks from the underworld.
When he was driving, he always liked to use deception and intimidation. He would scam whenever he could, especially when his customers were foreign guests and young couples like Yang Ming. He would be merciless. He didnât expect to encounter trouble today. But Xu Songshu was unwilling to be bl.u.s.tered by Yang Ming. While he was driving, he sneaked out his cell phone and sent a text message to several of his friends. These toxic friends would be waiting for them to arrive at their destination to give them a lesson.
Along the journey, Xu Songshu didnât dare to do any petty tricks. He pretended to be like a third grandchild [2]. He thought, When I reach the entrance of Wenxing Road Community, I must give Yang Ming a b.l.o.o.d.y lesson. If I donât drain him of all his money, I wonât let it go!
The car drove to Huaxing Road District, and Xu Songshu saw that several of his toxic friends were on the side of the road. He immediately settled down and parked the car directly beside those several people.
â Dangdang ,â the rear door was opened by several of Xu Songshuâs toxic friends. One of the guys with a watermelon head yelled at Yang Ming, âGet out!â
âQiangzi, this kid not only wonât pay the taxi fare but also broke the protective fence inside the car!â Xu Songshu was in high spirits as he looked at Yang Ming proudly.
â Hey , kid, you are bold. You are so young and yet you learned about fare evasion? You even broke the carâs protective fence, right? I didnât seem to notice it. Arenât you being too c.o.c.ky?â The man called Qiangzi with a watermelon head spoke to Yang Ming as he glared at him.
âWho are you?â Yang Ming looked at Qiang Zi disdainfully and said, âThis has nothing to do with you. You go and get a cozy place and stay right there.â
âF*ck!â Qiangzi reached out his hand to slap Yang Mingâs face. âLittle brat, watch your words. Iâm giving you face and yet you donât want it, right? Are you courting death?â
Yang Ming dodged sideways and arbitrarily avoided Qiangzi. Then he said impatiently, âLet me say it again. This has nothing to do with you, otherwise, it would be at your own risk!â Then he turned to Xu Songshu and said, âAnd you, I originally thought that you were so honest. I was thinking about giving you some extra to make up for your loss. I didnât expect you that you dared to look for people and set me up. Then Iâm sorry. You wonât get anything from me!â
â Haw ?â Qiangzi found it amusing. âThis kid has a stubborn mouth. Did you see how many people Iâve brought? I admit that you are a bit capable, being able to turn the fence into this. But, no matter how bad*ss you are, can you beat four of us? You want to be a hero in front of a girl, right? Donât become a loser later on.â Then, he said to Chen Mengyan on the side, âYour boyfriend wants to be pretentious. It seems you look pretty, so I will give you face. Give me five thousand yuan obediently, and then we will forget about this. Otherwise, your boyfriend may have to spend the Chinese New Year in the hospital!â
Yang Ming noticed this fellow was being mouthy. He was immediately annoyed. Originally, he didnât want to cause trouble near Chen Mengyanâs house. After all, the mother-in-law was nearby. It wasnât very good if this was spread, so he wanted to shoo these people away as soon as possible. He didnât expect that when he gave these people an inch, they wanted a mile! Immediately, he frowned. âI will give you three hundred yuan to drop it. I donât want to waste time with you on Chinese New Year.â
âWhat? Three hundred?â Qiangzi saw Yang Ming was willing to pay money, thinking that he was submitting. His arrogance immediately increased by a hundred percent. âFive thousand yuan. You donât get to leave if there is a penny short!â
âF*ck your mother!â Yang Ming couldnât hold back anymore as he directly slapped the person in the face. Qiangzi was slapped until he rolled on the floor and fell to the side.
âGo⌠Wuwu ⌠Go. Beat him up!â Qiangzi spat out a front tooth and seemed to speak with an air leak.
These people thought that Yang Ming was taking the opportunity when Qiangzi wasnât prepared. They didnât think that Yang Ming was powerful. They thought that since they had four people on their side, why would they need to be afraid of Yang Ming?
So they all stood up and encircled Yang Ming.
â Ai ! What are you guys doing? Gang fight?â These people were just about to make a move, but they heard a big yell.
They turned their head around, but their eyes met two uniformed police officers coming over. Suddenly, they didnât dare to make a move but stood aside honestly in succession.
Although there were many people in this group, punks wouldnât dare to do anything in front of the police!
âWhat happened?â asked one of the police officers.
âThis kid is committing fare evasion. We are stopping him to ask him for money!â Xu Songshu quickly explained.
âIs it?â The police asked.
âNo, this driver took us for a detour. We refused to pay the extra fare. He found these people and stopped us from leaving!â Chen Mengyan was dissatisfied immediately.
â Hey ? Are you the girl from Captain Chenâs family?â Another policeman looked at Chen Mengyan and asked suddenly.
âYou⌠are Uncle Cai?â Chen Mengyan also recognized the policeman in front of her. He was in her fatherâs unit. He was also the deputy section chief of the Department of Public Security. He also lived in this community and sometimes went to work and returned from work with her father. Chen Mengyan naturally recognized him.
â Hehe , whatâs the matter? These guys actually looked for trouble from you?â The policeman named Cai called to another police officer nearby, âBring them back to the police station first!â
â Ah ?â Xu Songshu was suddenly dumbfounded. He didnât expect it would be messed up. This young man isnât good to bully. Why is this woman so powerful, too? Listening to the policemanâs tone, she must be the child of the internal police force. Her father is even a captain!
âThat is a⌠misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Mr. Policeman, I was joking. Itâs fine nowâŚâ Xu Songshu quickly changed his words. It was Chinese New Yearâs Eve. It would be bad to have the Chinese New Yearâs Eve family dinner at the police station.
âMisunderstanding? You didnât seem to say that just now, right?â The policeman snorted and asked, âDidnât you say someone committed fare evasion?â
âNo, no, Iâm just kiddingâŚâ Xu Songshuâs sweat had flowed down. Today is really unlucky!
The police with the surname Cai saw that they became obedient and he didnât want to bother with them. Since it was a Chinese New Year, letâs forget about that. Then he waved his hand, âYou should be careful next time. I will remember your car number and inform the transportation department. If I hear about a report of you scamming the customers, then misfortune awaits you!â
âYes⌠YesâŚâ Xu Songshu nodded in a hurry, but during this period of time, he would never dare to scam his customer.
Seeing that Xu Songshu left, Chen Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Policeman Cai, âUncle Cai, you donât know. This person is too odious. He brought us on a detour at the outer ringâŚâ
âThe reputation of Song Jiang people has been tarnished by this guy!â Policeman Cai reprimanded. âYou can rest a.s.sured. I will find someone to keep a good watch on him. If this guy dares to scam his customer again, I will punish him!â
â Hey ? This isâŚâ Policeman Cai looked at Yang Ming.
