Lu Chuang wanted to persuade him further, but Old Master Lu began to stir. After they revealed their identities and the guards saluted, the BMW slowly drove in, pulling up in front of a two-story building.
Old Master Lu held Xia Liang's hand. "Thank you again, my young friend. It's just too late today. When I'm feeling better, you must come to my house for a visit. I promised to treat you to wowotou."
"Father, you're only offering our benefactor wowotou? It's not like our family is broke."
"You, shut up! Is this any place for you to interrupt?" Old Master Lu's face was full of disdain.
Xia Liang found it amusing to see Lu Chuang looking like a chastised schoolboy.
"No problem. We'll get together when we have the chance."
"Then we have a deal. Don't go back on your word."
"Absolutely."
「Leaving the compound.」
Only a few hours had passed since the incident that started at the North Gate Glass Factory. During this time, netizens were still heatedly discussing the Santana affair, frequently speculating about the consequences for Xia Liang.
True to form, the netizens of Dragon Country loved nothing more than seeing things in black and white. They had to determine who was right and who was wrong. As a result, the internet was roughly split into two camps: those who praised him to the heavens and those who dragged him through the mud.
[After verification, the incident that occurred tonight from Victory Avenue to East City Hospital was an event organized by the Iron Rooster Film Festival. As no damage was caused, no charges will be filed. New City officials advise that similar events should be reported in advance in the future to ensure safety. Good night.]
The post caused an uproar. The officials had spoken! There was no punishment whatsoever!
"So it really was an official Easter egg? I knew it! Where would you see street racing and gunfights in our harmonious society?"
"Iron Rooster is awesome! Making an Easter egg feel like a blockbuster movie... they're in a league of their own."
"No charges filed? Isn't that a bit rash? The BMW driver's stunts were extremely dangerous. What if someone got hurt? Damaging the public greenery isn't okay either; the city gardeners work so hard!"
"Sour grapes! To the commenter above, keep being salty! Is it that hard to admit someone else is amazing? Worried about the greenery? Why don't you say anything when you trample all over it yourself?"
"I just want to know who the legend is! I want to learn how to drift from him! I want to buy a BMW!"
"Tech analysis: I found out through Didi's official channels that the stunt driver really is a Didi driver. I guess great talent can be found anywhere! The man's name is Xia Liang, he's only 24, and he's handsome and can fight!"
"Holy shit! He's really a Didi driver? I'm going to order rides 24/7 for a whole week. I refuse to believe I won't get matched with this legend!"
"The license plate! I memorized the license plate! Anyone who's free, let's stake out the area together. Whoever spots him, give a shout immediately!"
All sorts of trending comments refreshed at a frantic pace. In an instant, the name Xia Liang blew up across the entire internet.
At this point, no one cared about the Iron Rooster Film Festival itself anymore. Nor did they care about the clown-like Pu Chang. As for the whining from the South Bang Country netizens? Is that important?
「In a luxurious suite.」
Pu Chang's expression was grim.
"Find out where he lives!" he snarled. "Sever the tendons in his hands and feet. Let's see how he drives then!"
As the only son of the Great Star Director, crippling someone was a trivial matter.
"Young Master, should we sever them directly, or bring him to you first?"
SLAP!
Pu Chang landed a hefty slap across the man's face.
"Idiot! Of course you sever his left foot and left hand on the way here! Then you bring him to me so I can personally sever his right foot and right hand. Do I really need to spell out something so simple?"
From that day on, BMW went viral, and so did Xia Liang. The young Didi driver was so adored by the ladies that ordinary taxi drivers couldn't even compete.
The Didi platform realized they had a valuable asset on their hands. They planned to promote him as their brand ambassador. They even had the slogan ready.
"We don't fly over the Rainbow Bridge; we close the distance to you. The sparks from our landing are the burning passion we have for our passengers."
It was an epic slogan.
Unfortunately for the platform's big promotional push and the many livestreaming invitations from various websites, Xia Liang declined them all. He really couldn't be bothered for that little bit of money.
「Back at the villa.」
Xia Liang shook his head. Three days, two scrapped cars. I'm probably the only one who could manage that.
Luckily, the System had rewarded him with a new Hui Teng. Otherwise, he really would have had to buy another car.
「That night...」
That night involved another round of intense... exercise.
The next day, a refreshed Xia Liang drove the Hui Teng out of the garage. He began his day of driving for Didi.
BEEP. *"Please head to the designated location within five minutes to pick up the passenger."*
Xia Liang followed the GPS to the location. He pulled up smoothly at the hotel entrance and made the call.
The passenger got in without a hitch. He was a young man wearing a plaid shirt.
"Sir, your car is pretty luxurious."
He obviously hadn't noticed the model of Xia Liang's car.
Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. "Just 'pretty'?"
"How did you modify this Passat? Must've cost a lot, right?"
The young man in the plaid shirt felt the high-quality leather of the seat and admired the elegant dashboard. His eyes practically glittered as Xia Liang fired up the Hui Teng's powerful W12 engine.
"Not expensive. Just ten Yuan."
He deliberately kept the car in a low gear and slowly revved the engine.
ROAR...
The sound was like being surrounded by roaring tigers and lions. What a rush...
The young man was shocked and quickly opened his phone to check the order details.
"Crap, it's actually a Hui Teng! This power has to be from a 12-cylinder engine."
"Bro, are you driving this car around to pick up girls?"
"How crude. I'm just out here getting some exercise," Xia Liang said, glaring at him.
The first ride of the day is a guy. What rotten luck.
"Bro, can I take a short video?" the plaid-shirted youth asked, looking at Xia Liang with pleading eyes.
Xia Liang rolled his eyes. "Go ahead, just keep my face out of it."
"Thanks, man! This car is so rare."
With that, he immediately started taking pictures of every part of the car with his phone. The shutter clicked away as he snapped photos of the car's interior before turning the camera on himself for a few selfies.
