Chapter 1 - Where are you going? To the root of the thigh!

Chapter 1: Where are you going? To the root of the thigh!The sun shone brightly in the sky. Cars speed along the asphalt roads in the city, occasionally accompanied by the sound of blaring horns. At this moment, a domestically produced red flag car drove down the center of the road. Lin Yang was in the driver’s seat, driving without a specific destination. Next to the car’s center console, there was a cellphone indicating that a rideshare app was accepting rides. As Lin Yang watched the app, waiting for a ride, he became increasingly frustrated. Driving for a rideshare service proved to be much more challenging than he had anticipated, and after less than an hour, he already felt discomfort in his sitting area. Just then, a notification sound interrupted the silence.

His phone displayed a pop-up window indicating an incoming ride request.

[Departure time]: Depart now.[Distance from you]: 1.66km[Estimated income]: 18

Departure point: Room 402, Building 40, Country Garden Community

Destination: Ansheng Road Gnawed Chicken.

[Whether to accept the ride!].

Upon hearing this prompt, Lin Yang’s spirits soared. Without hesitation, he immediately clicked to accept the ride.

[ Ride received successfully!] After opening the navigation on the app, he promptly headed in the direction of the customer. However, not long into the drive, his phone suddenly rang.

Lin Yang, puzzled, answered the call. A girl’s voice came from the other end, “Hello, are you the online taxi driver?”

Surprised, Lin Yang responded and asked, “Yes, who is this?”

The girl hurriedly responded, “Oh, I just booked a ride, and I see you accepted my ride. I made a mistake with both addresses. I’m not in Building 40. I’m at the gate. I’m wearing a white vest on top and black stockings underneath.”

Lin Yang, while driving, responded, “Alright! Where do you want to go?”

The girl hesitated for a moment and then, with a slightly embarrassed tone, said, “…to the thigh roots.”

Lin Yang, stunned, asked, “What? Where???”

Raising her voice, the girl replied, “…to the root of the thighs.”

Lin Yang, bewildered, asked, “Where exactly??”

The girl insisted, “Really, to the root of the thighs~~~.”

Lin Yang was speechless, feeling the conversation had gone off track. The girl claimed she gave the wrong address but kept mentioning “thigh roots.”

Lin Yang finally exclaimed, “Are you out of your mind? I asked you where you’re going, and you keep talking about thigh roots. Can my car drive up to your thighs?” He continued, “You said the address was wrong. Where exactly do you want to go?”

…

At this time, more than 2,000 netizens in the “Happy Professional Talent” live broadcast burst into laughter.

[My friend asked me to ask, have you reached the creek yet?].[Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and those who don’t know it think that this woman is deliberately flirting.].[They are also lumbar discs. Why do yours stand out so much? It is also a nine-year compulsory education. Why are you so good? Are you the legendary nine leaky fish?].[The anchor is trying to laugh at me to death so that he can inherit my Huabei, Jingdong White Paper, Meituan Loans?].

….

When the girl on the other end of the phone received criticism, she finally changed her course. The situation became instantly awkward. She quickly apologized, “Sorry, I’m a bit rushed.”

“Go to the nearby postal bank, please hurry up,” she urged.

“Okay, I’ll be there soon, wait!” Lin Yang said.

Two minutes later, the girl got into the car. She had an impressive appearance and seemed innocent, especially with her clothing, giving off a pure and charming vibe.

The girl appeared visibly anxious after getting in the car, urging, “Driver, please hurry up. I have an urgent matter.”

Lin Yang didn’t waste any time, accelerating the car to 60 mph following the navigation to the nearby postal bank. During the journey, neither of them spoke. After a while, the girl took out her phone and made a call. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Hey, Mom! I’m in the car, and I’ll be there shortly,” she reassured her mother. They discussed her father being in the hospital, and she promised to return as soon as possible.

After hanging up, the girl glanced at Lin Yang, expressing urgency. “Driver, how long will it take until we arrive? I’m in a hurry!”

Lin Yang reassured her, “Soon!” However, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

Listening to the girl’s phone call, he found it peculiar. Transferring money to her own mother’s account but to an out-of-town bank? It seemed unusual.

As the conversation progressed, Lin Yang became more suspicious. It was odd for a mother to ask her daughter to transfer money to an unfamiliar bank account. He deliberately slowed down the car to engage the girl in conversation. “Beauty, judging by your tone, are you going to the bank to make a payment? Worried it might be a scam?”

The girl laughed and said, “Thanks for the warning, Driver. Don’t worry. it’s my mom. The voice and number are hers. It can’t be a scam.”

Despite her reassurances, Lin Yang persisted, “Have you called your dad to confirm? Given the situation, transferring money to an out-of-town account seems suspicious.”

“I don’t know that person! I called my dad, but there was no service in the area. He had a car accident and is in the hospital undergoing checks,” she explained.

As the live broadcast viewers thought Lin Yang was overly cautious, he questioned the situation’s authenticity.

[It’s impossible. My mother has already called to make sure. How could I be cheated?].[I know all about the fraudulent methods, and they can’t deceive me in this life. I also think that Lin Yang has made a big fuss. The family members have personally confirmed it. How could it be a liar? Could it be that her mother is a liar?].[The little brother is not bad. If I heard the call from my sister, I would not take it seriously. Why should I make trouble if someone transfers money to my family?].[If you want to perform well, consider the timing. This is not a liar. It makes no sense.].

….

Lin Yang couldn’t see the comments from the netizens since his livestream was in recorded format. There was one camera in the car and another on his person. Only the online audience had visibility into his actions.

After hearing the girl’s account, Lin Yang fell into contemplation. Among the scams he knew, only one seemed to align with the current situation. However, he couldn’t confirm it. Words alone weren’t sufficient.

The girl’s lack of evidence wouldn’t make anyone believe she had fallen victim to a scam. The only recourse would be to involve the police, even if it meant risking misunderstanding. He felt compelled to try it if she was dealing with a scammer!
