Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 84 - 82: Getting Lost in My Own Neighborhood—Is That Even Possible?
Sun Xiaoxun was scared out of her wits, clutching her head and shouting, "Who are you people? What do you want?"
The police officer replied, "We’re from the city bureau. Someone reported that Liu Jiyan is suspected of misappropriating public funds for personal use. We need to take him back for investigation. Also, you need to come with us to assist in the investigation. Is your live stream still on? Turn it off and come with us!"
Sun Xiaoxun hurriedly explained, "I didn’t know he was misappropriating public funds! This has nothing to do with me!"
The police officer replied righteously, "We have already retrieved your WeChat chat records. Liu Jiyan explicitly told you his money was misappropriated public funds, yet you still induced him to send gifts. This shows you were fully aware and are considered his accomplice. Turn off the live stream and come with us to assist in the investigation."
Sun Xiaoxun’s live stream room exploded in an instant.
"Holy crap! Misappropriating public funds to reward a streamer? I thought this only happened in the news, but I didn’t expect to encounter it in real life."
"Damn! This scandal keeps getting bigger. Misappropriating public funds to reward a female streamer—I’ve only seen this on the news, never thought I’d witness it firsthand."
"Haha... in the end, all goes to waste. All the funds have to be returned, the live stream account will be banned, and they might even get fined or imprisoned. This is crazy, not even a screenwriter would dare script this."
"The platform must be crying in the bathroom. Originally, they could have shared over ten million. Now, they have to return the illicit money and might even end up being blamed for inadequate supervision."
"So President Yan turned out to be broke, daring to misappropriate public funds. What a big risk taker."
"Where’s Star Lord? Is his money his own? If they both get busted, that’ll be entertaining."
...
Before the super admin closed Sun Xiaoxun’s live stream room, the police officer had already cuffed both President Yan and Sun Xiaoxun.
With over ten million misappropriated and possibly irrecoverable, President Yan is surely looking at a life sentence or even death. Sun Xiaoxun knowing full well it was public funds yet still having him send gifts makes her a definite accomplice, no less than ten years.
Lying in bed, Yang Chen was a bit confused as things had developed beyond his expectations.
He originally thought President Yan was a rich guy and wanted to share gifts with him.
But he never imagined that President Yan would actually misappropriate public funds for rewards, how foolish is that.
With Sun Xiaoxun’s live stream room sealed, netizens flooded into Zhou Zhenyi’s live stream room for the spectacle.
Comments.
"Streamer, do you think Star Lord is truly rich, or is he misappropriating public funds too?"
"Star Lord, where are you? Say something, let us know you haven’t been taken away."
"Streamer, are you trembling in fear now? If Star Lord’s money isn’t clean, you’ll be taken away and sentenced like Sun Xiaoxun."
...
Zhou Zhenyi looked at the comments and couldn’t help but get nervous.
She had only met Star Lord once and had no idea what his real situation was.
If he also misappropriated funds for rewards, she would be doomed too.
However, Zhou Zhenyi thought that Yang Chen was so handsome he couldn’t be someone who would misuse public funds.
So, she quickly said, "Don’t talk nonsense. How could Brother Star be that kind of person? I’ve met him—young and handsome, full of righteousness. He would never do something like misappropriate public funds. Brother Star, do you still want to hear a song? I can sing until dawn if you like."
Undying Star: "Sleepy, going to sleep."
Soon after, Undying Star exited the live stream room.
Zhou Zhenyi thought, is this what a true affluent person is?
Gave so many gifts without making any requests.
Could it be he’ll send requests via WeChat later?
But clearly, she overthought it.
A night passed, and Zhou Zhenyi hadn’t received any message from Yang Chen.
As an understanding streamer, she surely had to greet her top supporter in the morning.
"Brother Star, good morning. Are you free today? I’m going to shoot outdoors and would like to treat you to a meal."
Speaking of outdoors, Yang Chen remembered something important.
Yang Chen replied to Zhou Zhenyi.
"No time. You’re not allowed to release the video you shot of me last night. Choose other materials."
Zhou Zhenyi quickly responded.
"Okay, got it. Rest assured, Brother Star, I’ll keep that video to myself, definitely not make it public. You can reach out anytime when you’re free, and I’ll treat you to a meal. Drop by my stream when you have time, and I’ll sing for you."
"Oh," Yang Chen replied simply.
At that moment, his aunt called.
Yang Chen answered, "Aunt."
Chen Yuyan: "Chenzi, what’s going on? I heard from my middle school friend that you’re rich and gave a streamer over ten million, causing her daughter to be arrested by the police. What’s really going on here?"
Even though she’s his aunt, he definitely couldn’t tell her the truth.
Yang Chen simply bluffed, "This is part of my job, gifting streamers. My full amount gets refunded, and with others’ gifts, I split thirty-seven with the streamer. Basically, it’s company money; it just goes through my account to the streamer, and the earnings go to the company. I earn wages regularly. Sun Xiaoxun and that guy colluded to misappropriate funds for gifts, so they got caught by the police. This has nothing to do with me, so don’t worry, Aunt."
Chen Yuyan: "Oh, that’s good. I didn’t expect her daughter to be that kind of person, blatantly accepting illicit money knowing its source. How’s the matchmaking going?"
Yang Chen: "Matching? She and that man were in a hotel, never showed up for me. But luckily she didn’t, or I’d have been dragged in too. Aunt, next time you set me up, be sure to screen them carefully. Can’t just go by appearances. Be extra cautious, or maybe just let me handle it myself. How’s that?"
Chen Yuyan: "How could that be? I’m your only senior, who else would look out for you? If I don’t care, who will? Faced with your sister, I couldn’t show my face in the future. This time it’s my oversight; I’ll be more careful in the future. Focus on your work, I won’t interrupt you."
Yang Chen couldn’t refuse such words.
Yang Chen: "Okay. Goodbye, Aunt."
After hanging up the call, Yang Chen hurriedly got to work.
After the morning rush, Yang Chen planned to find a place to rest for a bit.
After all, he didn’t rely on this to get rich, no need to work so hard.
At this moment, a system order came up, the passenger was right at the complex next to him.
What a coincidence, Yang Chen decided to take the order and called the passenger.
Soon, the call connected.
Yang Chen: "Hello, is this the passenger with the last four digits 4038? I’m a Bibi driver, waiting at your complex entrance."
Passenger: "Driver sir, hello, I... I’ll be right there, could you please wait for a moment?"
The voice sounded like a cutesy girl, speaking softly and using ’sir,’ seemed like a very polite person.
Encountering such a passenger, Yang Chen naturally became more accommodating, willing to wait.
After all, respect is mutual. If she’s respectful to him, he would also be respectful to her.
"Sure! I can wait for a bit, take your time, no rush," replied Yang Chen.
Passenger: "Alright, alright, thank you. I’ll be right there, please wait a moment."
Speaking with repeated words, she surely had to be a cutesy girl.
However, Yang Chen clearly underestimated her notion of "a moment."
Unnoticed, ten minutes passed, and still no sign of her. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Impatient, Yang Chen dialed her number again.
Soon, the call connected.
Yang Chen: "Hello, where are you now?"
Passenger: "I... I don’t know where I am. I’m lost. Sob sob..."
Yang Chen was speechless, lost in her own complex? What kind of situation is this?
Yang Chen hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you have any idea where you are now?"
Passenger: "Sob... I don’t know. I’ve been walking for over ten minutes and still can’t find my way out. I told them not to live in such a complex, but my parents insisted on buying here. Now I can’t even find my way out, what do I do?"
Damn, either she’s deliberately stalling or she’s a super klutz.
Getting lost in her own complex, probably only she could have such a talent.
