Xia Liang checked the time.

"Today? Not today. How about tomorrow at eight?"

He couldn't. He'd run into too much stuff today and still hadn't completed his orders. The bonus for perfect attendance and completing orders was several thousand Yuan. Compared to that, a twelve-Yuan fare was rather insignificant.

"Alright!" Dong Jian agreed and hung up.

At the same time, Xia Liang arrived at his destination, but he didn't see a passenger by the roadside. He slowly pulled over and rolled down the window to look around. He was at the entrance of a bar. Lights flickered inside, but the area outside was rather deserted.

It was late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the street. The one or two who did appear were hurrying along, clearly not looking for a ride.

Xia Liang grabbed his phone; the map's location indicator was clearly right in front of him.

He got out of the car and looked ahead. Not far away, under a streetlight, a woman was slumped on the ground. Two men in duckbill caps and covered in tattoos were dragging her, one on each side, trying to haul her away.

The woman was still somewhat conscious, struggling desperately, but to no avail. On the contrary, she became less and less coherent as time passed.

One glance was all it took for Xia Liang to understand. These two were most likely corpse pickers. But judging from the woman's condition, she didn't seem drunk... more like she'd been drugged! Normally, Xia Liang couldn't be bothered to meddle in this kind of thing; the last time was just an accident. After all, a girl who goes to a bar by herself late at night should be mentally prepared for this kind of outcome. But now, Xia Liang seriously suspected that woman was his passenger.

Xia Liang picked up his phone and dialed the passenger's number.

Sure enough, about three seconds later, a cheerful ringtone emanated from the woman's phone. The two tattooed men quickly fished it out and disconnected the call.

Ah, damn it. Looks like I can't ignore this one after all!

Xia Liang shook his head in resignation, closed the car door, and walked forward.

The two tattooed men were dragging the woman towards a van parked by the road. One of them, taking in the woman's ample chest, felt a primal urge and couldn't resist reaching out a hand.

However, before his hand got halfway, another hand clamped down on his shoulder from behind, forcefully pulling him away from the woman.

"Well now, you two have such refined taste. Planning on playing 'Two Dragons Frolic with a Pearl'?"

Startled, the two men spun around to see a rather handsome young man smiling at them.

The tattooed man Xia Liang had pulled away scowled, brushed the hand off his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Buddy, don't meddle in things that don't concern you. Mind your own business before you get yourself into trouble!"

"Ah, I wish I didn't have to, but the girl you're dragging... she's very important to me!"

Hearing this, the other man frowned. "Who are you to her? Her boyfriend?"

"No, no, no, I'm just an ordinary DiDi driver. As for her, she's my passenger. She just hailed a DiDi, and I accepted the ride!"

"Damn it, are you messing with me? That's what you call important?"

"Not at all, why would I mess with you? I'm telling the absolute truth! To a DiDi driver, passengers are our lifeblood. Without passengers, there would be no DiDi drivers. Isn't that important enough?"

Xia Liang truly meant every word! In his mind, there was a very simple, crude formula: Passenger = Hidden Reward. To him, every single ride was incredibly important. You never knew which one might trigger a hidden mission, so missing any one of them was a huge loss! My, Xia Liang's, passenger has to make it to their destination, even if they die on the way!

"Fucking psycho! Get lost! I'm warning you, meddle again, and I'll take care of you fir— AARGH!"

Before the man could finish, Xia Liang threw a punch straight at his face. The distance was too short to dodge. The fist landed squarely on the bridge of his nose, sending blood spraying as he immediately lost the ability to fight.

If you're going to fight, then fight. What's with all the babbling? Don't you know villains die from monologuing?

The entire sequence, from Xia Liang's sudden attack to the man hitting the ground, took no more than three seconds!

Seeing this, the other tattooed man, who was still holding the woman, quickly let her go and swung a punch at Xia Liang!

Xia Liang sidestepped to the left, narrowly dodging the blow. He then grabbed the tattooed man's arm, executed a perfect over-the-shoulder throw that slammed him to the ground, and followed up with a hard punch to the gut. The man was left curled in a ball on the ground, clutching his stomach.

Xia Liang clapped his hands and looked down at the two men with a smile. "Sorry about that. As a DiDi driver, learning some self-defense techniques to ensure the safety of myself and my passengers is just basic professional etiquette. Coincidentally, I studied martial arts when I was young, so I can fight just a *little* bit better than your average DiDi driver!"

Yep, just a *little* bit.

Seeing that the two men were incapacitated, Xia Liang turned his attention to the woman.

By now, she had fallen into a state of complete delirium, letting out an unconscious whimper every now and then.

With no other choice, Xia Liang carried her to the car, fastened her seatbelt, and drove towards the destination shown on the DiDi System.

Not long after Xia Liang left, the two men lying on the roadside gradually recovered. They struggled to their feet, shot a glance in the direction Xia Liang had gone, and muttered a few curses before helping each other limp back into the bar.
