Chapter 56 -53: Into the Police Station Again!

Chen Xixi thought things were looking a bit grim.

The driver furrowed his brows, “What do we do now, where do we find them?”

Chen Xixi spoke calmly, “Let’s head to the fruit garden first.”

After speaking, she pulled out her phone, called the crew, and reported the license plate number of the black sedan.

Letting the crew handle it would definitely be better than letting her and the driver handle it.

Moreover, the most important thing was, the driver’s big truck would definitely have a hard time catching up with that sedan.

[Chen Xixi just abandoned them, that’s pretty heartless!]

[How did she abandon them? Didn’t she call the crew and tell them the license plate number? Plus, would you have their truck chase a sedan? There’s no way they could catch up!]

[Chen Xixi has such a good memory, she remembered the license plate number after just a glance! Unlike me, who forgets the train seat number I looked at just a second ago…]

[It’s my first time seeing a variety show leaving guests behind, so novel, I’m going to recommend my friends to watch this!]

[Don’t they ask before getting on the car?]

[Probably because they were in a hurry, after all, it’s a timed competition, and just then a car stopped in front of them.]

At this time, in the black sedan.

Timed races always give one a sense of urgency as if being chased by time, and whenever there’s a chance, one subconsciously wants to see how much time has passed.

Zheng He wanted to check the time on his phone, but realizing his pockets were empty, he remembered that his phone was currently out of reach.

Never mind, no need to look.

He looked up and asked the driver, “Master, how long till we reach Beishan?”

The driver, wearing sunglasses, focused on the road ahead, estimating, “About half an hour or so.”

Zheng He spoke anxiously, “Master, can we go a bit faster? I’m in a hurry! The faster, the better!”

The more time saved, the better the chances of winning.

Moreover, the five yuan prize money is important, but it’s more crucial to not let Chen Xixi gather more funds!

While Chen Xixi is still waiting for the next car, he needed to leave her far behind.

The veteran driver with ten years of experience smiled and suddenly stepped on the gas, “Alright! Hold tight!”

The car sped up, but there were constant sudden stops that made Han Qianyi in the back feel nauseous.

She also saw their car nearly collide with others several times, then narrowly avoid accidents, bringing a thrillingly fresh experience.

It felt like one of her feet was madly testing the waters at the door of Yama Palace.

Meanwhile, the viewers in the live streaming room were getting anxious!

[Aah! You’re in the wrong car! Get out quick!!]

[You’re going to be sold!]

[I’m watching you guys constantly, if there’s danger I’ll call the police for you!]

Originally a journey of over half an hour was cut in half by the driver.

Upon reaching Beishan, the audience in the live streaming room also relaxed: thankfully no harm and no sale.

Zheng He looked out the window at the mountain tops and frowned, “Where is this?”

The driver looked back at Zheng He, “Beishan!”

Zheng He clicked his tongue impatiently, “I know it’s Beishan, aren’t we supposed to go to Atian Fruit Garden? Shouldn’t you have taken us there?”

One would think they’d at least be dropped off near the fruit garden, given how vast Beishan is, how would they know where Atian Fruit Garden is!

“Atian Fruit Garden?” the driver repeated the name with a furrowed brow.

He knew the location of Beishan but that didn’t mean he knew every fruit garden there.

When they got in the car earlier, he heard a man say they were going to Beishan, but nothing about Atian Fruit Garden.

But since they were here, he grinned and said, “You should have mentioned it earlier!”

Going around twice and you’ll find out!

Ten minutes later, at the intersection about to ascend the mountain, they saw a large sign and a banner.

The sign read “Atian Fruit Garden” in big letters, and the banner was welcoming their TV crew.

Zheng He burst into laughter the moment he saw the place: “Finally here!”

Then he turned to check the back of the vehicle.

The area behind the vehicle was empty, no cars in sight.

Chen Xixi hadn’t arrived yet, fortune was truly on his side!

As they were about to push open the car door to get out, the driver suddenly spoke: “US$ 140, just scan this QR code.”

The four guests stared at the payment QR code presented by the driver, shocked.

Zheng He felt that the TV crew was insane, they’d promised transport and now they wanted money once they arrived, this was too much!

And the crew knew very well that they didn’t have any money!

Zheng He couldn’t help but protest: “You want money? That’s way too greedy!”

The driver replied somewhat speechlessly, “Are you joking? Should I transport you for free? Besides, where’s the greed? It’s the market rate!”

Even unlicensed cabs charge this rate, US$ 20 per person, very standard! The extra US$ 20 was for the detour around the mountain to find the orchard.

“You know we have no money, and still you charge us for the ride!” Zheng He was furious, his voice getting louder, “Moreover, what market rate charges US$ 140, even a taximeter wouldn’t cost that much!”

The TV crew was absolutely cheating them!

The driver argued confidently: “We are not the same as taxis!”

Zheng He sneered, thinking the TV crew’s transport was just expensive, right?

Fine, if the TV crew plays dirty, he can too!

“No money, won’t pay!” Zheng He said defiantly, pushed the car door, ready to get out, indifferent as a pig in boiling water.

But as Zheng He touched the door handle, there was a “click” sound, and the door locked, trapping them inside.

Zheng He turned to look at the driver, angrily demanding, “What do you mean?”

The driver’s expression turned fierce, his gaze sweeping over the four passengers, none looked like they had no money judging by their attire and appearance, his smile turning cold: “What are you guys trying to pull? Trying to ride without paying?”

The atmosphere inside the car instantly grew tense.

Zheng He was not about to show weakness: “Why would we try to ride without paying if you had no idea! Knowing we don’t have money and still trying to overcharge us for the ride, I’ve never seen anyone greedier!”

Driver: “You boarded knowing you had no money!”

“It’s because your damn pro…”

Before Zheng He could retort, Han Qianyi who was sitting beside him cut off the conversation, saying anxiously, “Hurry, open the door and let me out!”

Driver: “No money, none of you are leaving!”

Han Qianyi turned around, desperately trying to pry open the door: “Hurry up, let me out!”

Driver: “No way!”

“Then don’t blame me then…yue～” Han Qianyi vomited.

She couldn’t hold back any longer!

The driver felt darkness before his eyes.

He looked at the terrible scene in front of him, his mindset exploded: “!!! You must pay an extra US$ 20 for cleaning!”

Zheng He looked down at his pants that were collateral damage, coupled with a foul smell, he couldn’t help but retch twice, “yue～no…yue～money…yue～”

Soon, not only Zheng He, but also Jin Cheng and Wan Chen couldn’t help but start vomiting.

The driver was about to go mad, why had he ended up picking these people up!

With a fierce expression, the driver watched them: “Swallow it! If anyone pukes again, it doubles!!”

In the end, the completely crazed driver, holding back his homicidal impulses, called the police.
