Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints

Chapter 497 - 224: Two Consecutive Rewards—Yang Chen Controls Jiacheng Investment’s Fate

There are usually no orders near the villa area, since the people living here definitely have cars.

But today was different. As soon as Yang Chen left the neighborhood, he received an order not long after.

Yang Chen followed the GPS to the starting point. The passengers were two young men who looked a bit disheveled, probably from staying up all night.

Yang Chen still followed his routine by confirming the last digits of their phone number with them before setting off for their destination, Hai City Bus Station.

Since the place was quite far from the bus station and the two passengers were very tired, they soon fell asleep.

After a while, Chen Qingxia sent a message to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen opened it and saw it was two surveillance screenshots.

Huh?

Why do these two people look a bit familiar?

Yang Chen quickly looked back, and there they were, the two guys sleeping in the backseat.

Chen Qingxia sent a message.

"These two are suspected of theft. We checked surveillance and saw them get into your car. Where are you heading now?"

Yang Chen quickly glanced back; the two were still asleep, so he quickly replied with the words "bus station."

Chen Qingxia replied: Drive slowly, we’re going to set up at the bus station first.

Yang Chen replied: Okay.

The first order of the day, and already doing my civic duty; today is destined to be full of positive energy.

Yang Chen deliberately slowed down, possibly because these two fellows were up all night stealing and were now sleeping like logs.

Actually, he didn’t have to go to the bus station, he could have just taken them to the nearest police station.

However, given the confined space in the car, Yang Chen still had to prioritize safety. If these guys suddenly woke up and realized they weren’t going in the right direction, who knows what drastic actions they might take.

So, heading to the bus station as planned, leave the arrest to the police, Yang Chen just needed to do what a good citizen should do.

More than half an hour later, Chen Qingxia sent a message.

"We’ve set up at the main entrance, you have to drop them off at the main entrance here."

Yang Chen was about to reply when he heard a slight commotion in the back, startling him to quickly close his phone screen and put it away.

Afterward, Yang Chen looked back and saw the two guys looking at him.

In that moment, Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Damn, if we’re found out, who knows what these guys might do in desperation.

Yang Chen quickly said with a smile, "We’re almost there, just a few minutes."

The guy on the left complained, "Focus on driving, why are you playing with your phone?"

Yang Chen responded quickly, "Sorry, my girlfriend just woke up and sent me a message. I was just checking it out, haven’t replied yet."

The guy on the right asked, "You drive rideshare and still have a girlfriend? You guys make a lot of money?"

Yang Chen: "Not that much. If you work hard, you can make over ten thousand a month. After deducting gas and meals, you’re left with about five thousand. I’ve been lazy lately, only earning five to six thousand a month, minus gas, maintenance, and food, there’s basically not much left. In this business, you need to be hardworking and frugal, making ten thousand a month is no problem."

The guy on the right nodded and said, "After I go back to my hometown, I’ll get a car for rideshare and never leave home again."

Probably stole quite a lot last night, otherwise, he wouldn’t say that.

The first time picking up passengers near the villa area, turned out to be a pair of big-time thieves, Yang Chen felt quite helpless.

The guy on the left said with a face full of longing, "I’ll open a small convenience store and never leave home again either."

If they weren’t stealing from others, seeing the hope on their faces, Yang Chen would have genuinely been happy for them.

Sigh...

What a pity.

Soon, the car arrived at the main entrance of the bus station.

Yang Chen didn’t see where Chen Qingxia and her team were hiding.

Anyway, she said to park here, so Yang Chen did as she requested and stopped the car at the main entrance.

Yang Chen: "We’re here. Take your belongings with you, and... good luck."

The two nodded with smiles, opened the door, and got out.

It was clear they were very happy, thinking that once they got out of the car, they were free and safe.

Just then, a few people in the crowd surrounded them and immediately had them restrained.

The two guys didn’t even have a chance to resist, they were directly put into the police car.

At this point, Chen Qingxia got into Yang Chen’s car.

"Crimebuster! Congrats, you’ve done it again!" Chen Qingxia said with a smile.

Yang Chen smiled and shook his head, "This time, I did feel a twinge of compassion. They were so hopeful about their future, and yet we snuffed out that hope."

Chen Qingxia: "It’s wrong to fuel their hope with someone else’s property. By extinguishing that flame of hope, we’re actually helping them correct their ways."

Yang Chen: "I understand, I know the reasoning and the law. I was just momentarily affected by the hope on their faces. Anyway, go ahead and handle them, I have to continue with my rides."

Chen Qingxia: "Alright! I’ll leave now, drive safely. Bye-bye."

Saying this, Chen Qingxia gave Yang Chen a peck before happily getting off to meet her colleagues.

Yang Chen chuckled and quickly took the next order.

This time, it was a female passenger eating an orange.

After confirming the last digits of her phone number, Yang Chen set off.

Female passenger: "Driver, could you open the window?"

Yang Chen: "Better not; I’ve got the heater on, opening the window would be pointless. Do you get carsick?"

Female passenger: "No, but there’s a sweaty smell in here. Did you just have some old men as passengers?"

Yang Chen didn’t smell anything, but she did.

Yang Chen: "There’s an air freshener in front, could you please spray a little? I did have two male passengers earlier, maybe they had some smell because they hadn’t slept all night."
