"Alright, alright, I'm coming, I'm coming, don't be in such a rush, driver!" Luo Chao shouted to the middle-aged driver incessantly honking the car horn in the distance.

At the same time, Luo Chao grabbed Tang Tianyi's hand, ignoring her panic-stricken expression from the sudden contact, and led her running across the road towards the luxury Mercedes ride-share car worth millions parked nearby.

"What are you two youngsters standing there for? Get in the car! Do you know how much my time is worth? Waiting for you two wastes so much of my precious time!"

The ride-share driver, noticing Luo Chao holding Tang Tianyi's hand, first showed a flicker of jealousy in his eyes, but then proceeded to shout loudly.

"Uh... that." Luo Chao scratched his head somewhat helplessly.

Actually, it wasn't that Luo Chao was intentionally wasting time. He had his own urgent matters; he was rushing to the hospital to save Yu Xiaoling!

But honestly, Luo Chao was just fed up with scams!

It wasn't that Luo Chao didn't have money; he simply didn't want to be swindled!

If he had to suddenly donate millions to build a hope primary school and orphanage, Luo Chao would do it instantly, without a second thought, without even blinking, let alone feeling any pain.

However, if he found out he got scammed, even if it was just for fifty cents, Luo Chao would feel extremely frustrated.

Because Luo Chao believed that the most important thing in this world is not money, nor status, and definitely not fame, but trust between people!

Just imagine, in a society or even a country, if people can't maintain even the most basic level of trust, would there be any hope for that society, that country?

This principle is so fundamental, even kindergarten children understand it.

Even kindergarten children know that one should be honest and trustworthy, do what they say, and avoid deceit and lies.

Yet, when it comes to real-life situations, the adult world often fails to stick to this simple basic principle.

This isn't because the adult world is particularly complicated, but rather because it's filled with utilitarianism.

Everyone is driven by self-interest, willing to betray their own conscience to gain these external rewards, doing things that violate the most basic trust between people.

After doing it, those people feel proud, thinking deceiving or swindling someone earns them far more than honest labor, thus indulging in a twisted pleasure.

But what they fail to realize is that if they think this way, others will too.

Perhaps today, to gain a petty advantage, one proud of breaching trust between people doesn't realize that when they use this illicit money, they too have been unwittingly scammed by someone with the same mindset.

As a result, society becomes twisted, with everyone being both a victim and a perpetrator, gradually evolving into a distorted, cannibalistic society!

Therefore, to prevent this situation, some people in society have already begun proactively applying integrity towards others, while also working hard to remain vigilant to avoid being scammed themselves.

As the saying goes, if everyone takes a small step forward, society will make a big leap forward. Luo Chao at this moment was contemplating joining this crowd of insightful people, starting with himself, to eradicate these twisted phenomena of scamming and being scammed.

Thinking of this, Luo Chao couldn't help but ask the driver, "Driver, please don't rush, I just want to ask you a question before we drive, can you answer this question first?"

"Ah! So annoying," the middle-aged driver swore in frustration, then looked up at Luo Chao with an impatient tone and asked, "What do you want to ask? Hurry up!"

"Oh, it's like this." Luo Chao said while taking out his phone.

Luo Chao pointed to the words on his phone screen and asked the middle-aged ride-share driver, "Driver, it's like this, I used this ride-hailing app just now and booked what should be an ordinary car, but looking at your car... it shouldn't cost less than a million, right!"

"Logically, such a high-end car as yours shouldn't fall under the category of ordinary cars, so I just wanted to ask, did you accidentally take the wrong order, or did I accidentally place the wrong order and the system didn't show it?"

The middle-aged driver smiled reassuringly after hearing Luo Chao's question and then explained, "Haha, I was wondering what the problem was, turns out it's this! Young man, you thought my car looked too high-end, so you worried you might have accidentally booked a premium car and would need to pay extra, right? Don't worry, you didn't book the wrong car, nor did you place the wrong order. This ride is indeed an ordinary car; it just happened to be picked up by me!"

"But why?"

Luo Chao felt pleased hearing the driver's reassurance, knowing it meant he had just gotten lucky with a nice car today and wouldn't need to pay extra fare.

However, Luo Chao's joy was quickly overshadowed by curiosity that consumed his thoughts.

Why would a boss with a million-dollar Mercedes take on a regular ride just for a mere few tens of yuan of fare?

Could it be... there was a hidden secret behind all this?

Thinking of this, Luo Chao continued to ask, "Driver, I'm happy you took this ordinary ride, but could you tell me why someone like you would do so?"

To his surprise, upon hearing Luo Chao's question, the middle-aged driver sighed, just about to explain but then caught sight of the time on the car's dashboard.

Immediately, the middle-aged driver gestured to Luo Chao and Tang Tianyi, and said in a clear voice, "It's getting late, I can't delay anymore, time is money, tell you what, you two get in the car first, and I'll explain as we drive. I've been holding this in for a long time and might as well share with you young people."

Seeing the middle-aged man's sincere expression and his drastic change in attitude, Luo Chao looked at Tang Tianyi, and seeing her nod, opened the car door, and together they sat in the back seat of the Mercedes.
