“Hurry up and drive or else suffer the consequences.” Yang Ming was unlike Chen Mengyan who liked to talk about principle. If words couldn’t do the trick, violence would come forward. This was Yang Ming’s style.
“It’s alright to drive… but…” The taxi driver patted the meter in front of him. “See the number above? When you arrive at the place, pay in full!”
“Do you dare to say it again?” Yang Ming sneered at the taxi driver.
“I would say the same even ten thousand times!” 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 wasn’t afraid of what Yang Ming would do to him. If Yang Ming dared to get off, the driver would drive away directly!
” Pak ,” 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, “What are you doing?”
“Would you believe that I can hit your head with the next punch?” Yang Ming said coldly, “Hurry up and drive. Don’t be wordy!”
“I will drive… You can’t just vandalize my car…” The taxi driver was obviously scared by Yang Ming’s move, and he had to whisper softly.
“I can destroy your car. Do you believe it or not?” Yang Ming heard his whisper and said this while glaring.
“I will drive… Isn’t it alright if I drive…” 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 didn’t expect Yang Ming to be so fierce that he could suddenly make a dent in the sturdy protective fence.
“Look, this kind of person is useless to reason with. He deserves violence!” 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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t a good person. There would be some scums 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 didn’t expect to encounter trouble today. But Xu Songshu was unwilling to be blustered 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 didn’t 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 bloody lesson. If I don’t drain him of all his money, I won’t 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.
” Dangdang ,” the rear door was opened by several of Xu Songshu’s toxic friends. One of the guys with a watermelon head yelled at Yang Ming, “Get out!”
“Qiangzi, this kid not only won’t pay the taxi fare but also broke the protective fence inside the car!” Xu Songshu was in high spirits as he looked at Yang Ming proudly.
” Hey , kid, you are bold. You are so young and yet you learned about fare evasion? You even broke the car’s protective fence, right? I didn’t seem to notice it. Aren’t you being too cocky?” The man called Qiangzi with a watermelon head spoke to Yang Ming as he glared at him.
“Who are you?” Yang Ming looked at Qiang Zi disdainfully and said, “This has nothing to do with you. You go and get a cozy place and stay right there.”
“F*ck!” Qiangzi reached out his hand to slap Yang Ming’s face. “Little brat, watch your words. I’m giving you face and yet you don’t want it, right? Are you courting death?”
Yang Ming dodged sideways and arbitrarily avoided Qiangzi. Then he said impatiently, “Let me say it again. This has nothing to do with you, otherwise, it would be at your own risk!” Then he turned to Xu Songshu and said, “And you, I originally thought that you were so honest. I was thinking about giving you some extra to make up for your loss. I didn’t expect you that you dared to look for people and set me up. Then I’m sorry. You won’t get anything from me!”
” Haw ?” Qiangzi found it amusing. “This kid has a stubborn mouth. Did you see how many people I’ve 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? Don’t become a loser later on.” Then, he said to Chen Mengyan on the side, “Your 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!”
Yang Ming noticed this fellow was being mouthy. He was immediately annoyed. Originally, he didn’t want to cause trouble near Chen Mengyan’s house. After all, the mother-in-law was nearby. It wasn’t very good if this was spread, so he wanted to shoo these people away as soon as possible. He didn’t expect that when he gave these people an inch, they wanted a mile! Immediately, he frowned. “I will give you three hundred yuan to drop it. I don’t want to waste time with you on Chinese New Year.”
“What? Three hundred?” Qiangzi saw Yang Ming was willing to pay money, thinking that he was submitting. His arrogance immediately increased by a hundred percent. “Five thousand yuan. You don’t get to leave if there is a penny short!”
“F*ck your mother!” Yang Ming couldn’t 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.
“Go… Wuwu … Go. Beat him up!” 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 wasn’t prepared. They didn’t 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.
” Ai ! What are you guys doing? Gang fight?” 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 didn’t dare to make a move but stood aside honestly in succession.
Although there were many people in this group, punks wouldn’t dare to do anything in front of the police!
“What happened?” asked one of the police officers.
“This kid is committing fare evasion. We are stopping him to ask him for money!” Xu Songshu quickly explained.
“Is it?” The police asked.
“No, this driver took us for a detour. We refused to pay the extra fare. He found these people and stopped us from leaving!” Chen Mengyan was dissatisfied immediately.
” Hey ? Are you the girl from Captain Chen’s family?” Another policeman looked at Chen Mengyan and asked suddenly.
“You… are Uncle Cai?” Chen Mengyan also recognized the policeman in front of her. He was in her father’s 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.
” Hehe , what’s the matter? These guys actually looked for trouble from you?” The policeman named Cai called to another police officer nearby, “Bring them back to the police station first!”
” Ah ?” Xu Songshu was suddenly dumbfounded. He didn’t expect it would be messed up. This young man isn’t good to bully. Why is this woman so powerful, too? Listening to the policeman’s tone, she must be the child of the internal police force. Her father is even a captain!
“That is a… misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Mr. Policeman, I was joking. It’s fine now…” Xu Songshu quickly changed his words. It was Chinese New Year’s Eve. It would be bad to have the Chinese New Year’s Eve family dinner at the police station.
“Misunderstanding? You didn’t seem to say that just now, right?” The policeman snorted and asked, “Didn’t you say someone committed fare evasion?”
“No, no, I’m just kidding…” Xu Songshu’s sweat had flowed down. Today is really unlucky!
The police with the surname Cai saw that they became obedient and he didn’t want to bother with them. Since it was a Chinese New Year, let’s forget about that. Then he waved his hand, “You 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!”
“Yes… Yes…” 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, “Uncle Cai, you don’t know. This person is too odious. He brought us on a detour at the outer ring…”
“The reputation of Song Jiang people has been tarnished by this guy!” Policeman Cai reprimanded. “You can rest assured. I will find someone to keep a good watch on him. If this guy dares to scam his customer again, I will punish him!”
” Hey ? This is…” Policeman Cai looked at Yang Ming.
