Chapter 486: Chapter 221: You’re Driving for a Ride-Hailing Service and Still Have a Bodyguard? (Part 2)

Yang Chen: "It’s fine, if he comes to cause trouble again, I won’t be so lenient."

Soon, Yang Chen dropped the older man off at his destination.

As the man got out of the car, he gave his opinion.

"This is the best driver I’ve ever seen. I want to ride in his car again in the future. I recommend other passengers choose his car; it’s absolutely safe."

Yang Chen looked at the review and chuckled, then continued to take orders for passengers.

This time, it was two men and a woman. One man was holding the woman while the other was carrying a red suitcase.

After getting in the car, the two men sandwiched the girl in the middle.

Yang Chen thought it was a bit strange; the two men were sticking so closely to the girl, it was unlikely that they were both her boyfriends, wasn’t it?

Moreover, the girl looked a little nervous, seeming like she wanted to speak to Yang Chen but dared not say a word.

Intuition told Yang Chen that there was definitely something wrong with these three people.

Yang Chen smiled and said: "Are you thirsty? You can have water for free."

The man on the right replied with a smile: "Thanks."

Then, he used his left hand to hold onto the girl’s arm, stretched out his right hand to take a bottle of water and handed it to the man on the left, then grabbed another bottle for himself to drink.

Yang Chen was sure his intuition was right; there was something wrong with these three; or more accurately, with those two men.

The girl was most likely being held hostage by them.

Taking advantage of a red light, Yang Chen sent a message to Chen Qingxia.

"There are two men squeezing in a woman in my car, and I feel something’s off. You better come and check. I’m on Yu Xi Road heading towards Wenzhong Road. I’ll stop at a gas station soon, hurry over!"

Chen Qingxia replied with a "Okay" very quickly.

After a while, there was a gas station ahead, and Yang Chen said: "Sorry folks, the car is out of gas. I’ll take a few minutes to fill up, just a moment. Apologies!"

The man on the right was obviously tense and asked, "Not enough to take us to our destination?"

Yang Chen explained: "Enough to take you to your destination but it’s quite remote there with no gas station, and I fear I might not make it back. I’ll transfer a five-yuan red packet to compensate for the delay. Please and thank you."

The man on the right replied impatiently: "Alright, alright, hurry up."

Yang Chen: "Ah, okay. Thank you."

Yang Chen drove into the gas station, purposefully letting cars behind him cut in line in order to delay more time.

To avoid suspicion, Yang Chen didn’t act too blatantly and quickly filled up the tank.

As he was driving out of the gas station, two police cars blocked the way.

Chen Qingxia quickly approached with her team, advising the people inside to get off.

Yang Chen hurriedly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out.

The police surrounded the car and warned those inside to get out with hands on their heads.

The girl was eager to get out, but the two men on either side didn’t move, and she dared not move either.

Chen Qingxia directly pulled out her gun and warned: "Hands on your head! Get out! Quickly!"

The two men were frightened, and they quickly got out with hands on their heads.

The girl hurriedly got out too, crying: "Officer, please help me! They are part of a trafficking ring, I just managed to escape, and now they want to catch me again! There are fellow townspeople in their hideout, please rescue them! Also, these two have knives on them, be careful!"

The officers quickly ordered the two men to lay on the ground with hands on their heads, then handcuffed them.

The police soon found two knives, each about ten centimeters long, on their persons.

Yang Chen commented: "Didn’t they say today’s trafficking doesn’t involve restriction of personal freedom? Why are they still doing this?"

The girl explained: "They don’t just traffic, they also force women to have relations with new captives. Some are brainwashed and comply, but most women resist, and they’re forced violently."

Yang Chen nodded and joked: "Sounds like a great package deal! Where’s your hideout? I’d like to experience that starter pack."

Chen Qingxia rolled her eyes at Yang Chen and said: "Can’t you be serious?"

Yang Chen got into his car with a laugh: "I am serious; you just didn’t notice. Hurry up and rescue the others. I’ve got passengers to pick up. Oh, and don’t give me any citizen awards, keep it low-key, understood?"

Chen Qingxia: "Got it! Drive safely!"

Yang Chen nodded, whistled and drove away.

Every day doing good deeds, when will there be an odd passenger to leave a bad review? Haven’t received a reward in ages.

In the evening, Chen Qingxia called Yang Chen.

Chen Qingxia: "Haha... come out for a drink, I’m buying!"

Yang Chen: "What’s the joy? Found a partner? Boss Ma’s son perhaps?"

Chen Qingxia: "Screw off! We teamed up with the city bureau this afternoon to take down the trafficking hideout, rescued 35 people, and captured 20 suspects. Our station received commendation from the city bureau. You don’t want a reward, so I’m thanking you personally with a drink. I’ll be home now and meet you at Midnight Bar at eight o’clock. Is that good?"

Yang Chen: "No problem! Eight o’clock at Midnight Bar!"

Yang Chen took a few more orders before heading to Midnight Bar.

Chen Qingxia changed into a stylish outfit of trendy down jacket, short skirt, and bare-legged fashion items, looking both chic and avant-garde.

Yang Chen complimented: "Wow, didn’t realize you’ve got a pretty nice figure."
