Chapter 22: Why Not Change Your Name to Gu Yong?

“……”

Watching with wide eyes as Gu Yin drove off in that Cadillac, the expressions on Xia Qianyi and Mengmeng’s faces were blank—clearly, they hadn’t expected Gu Yin to be so... bold!

He shouldn’t even be called Gu Yin anymore; he might as well change his name to Gu Brave!

Is that your car? You just drive it off like that?!

Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal, big brother?!

“Is this guy crazy?!” Mengmeng blurted out instinctively.

Beside her, Xia Qianyi, shaded under her cap, was briefly stunned before suddenly letting out a stifled laugh.

“You’re laughing?” Mengmeng was losing her mind. “He’s breaking the law! We might get dragged into this too!”

If Gu Yin got caught, they’d all be summoned for questioning as passengers. The last thing they needed was for Xia Qianyi, a female celebrity, to be snapped entering a police station and end up trending online!

“Forget that for now,” Xia Qianyi said, unfazed. She pointed toward the direction Gu Yin was driving off. “We have to catch up with him.”

“Yes, we have to catch him!”

Mengmeng quickly opened the car door, climbed into the driver’s seat, muttering to herself, “I can’t believe he dared to leave his car with us—two people he just met today…”

They really had to follow Gu Yin. Who knew where he was taking the car? If he drove too far, it would be outright robbery and theft, seizing someone else’s property!

They couldn’t let him do anything stupid!

“Beep beep…”

As Gu Yin drove off in the Cadillac, the car behind him honked softly—a gentle reminder.

The driver of the BYD had taken the lead, giving them a clear path. They wouldn’t repay kindness with ingratitude; otherwise, they’d be just like the BYD.

Finally!

With Gu Yin driving off in the Cadillac, the convoy began moving.

And then, a comical scene unfolded…

As the convoy moved forward, almost every driver passed by the female owner of the Cadillac. Despite her helplessness and anxiety over her car being taken without reason, none of the drivers showed her any sympathy. Almost in unison, they rolled down their windows and spat out a mouthful of phlegm each!

“Serves you right!”

“Had it coming!”

“You brat! Get lost!”

“Who parks a car in the middle of the road and then refuses to move, you idiot?”

“Karma’s a bitch!”

【Pfft… hahaha…】

The already delighted audience watching the live stream was even more thrilled to see the Cadillac owner get scolded. The number of viewers in the stream skyrocketed.

Originally, because Xia Qianyi was there, Gu Yin’s stream already attracted over 80,000 viewers. Now, with Gu Yin’s antics, the number soared past 100,000—and continued climbing.

Along with the surge in viewers, notably, this time they weren’t all focused on Xia Qianyi, the celebrity, but rather on…

Gu Yin—the ride-hailing driver and driving instructor!

Behind the scenes, Director Han Chuan, who had been tipped off by staff, was baffled.

“What’s that kid done now?”

He had missed catching the wave of traffic earlier in the day, but suddenly, by evening, the stream’s viewership exploded?

After reviewing the situation…

“Holy crap?” Director Han Chuan was stunned.

Is he really this reckless?

Yesterday, when he confronted the guy who cut in line, it was understandable—cutting in is rude, and the guy got what he deserved. Whether a collision happened depended on how much the person was willing to tolerate. In any case, Gu Yin wasn’t really at fault.

But today…

No matter how you look at it, he had no justification.

Sure, the Cadillac owner had violated traffic laws by parking in the middle of the lane, causing a traffic jam and bearing responsibility.

But fundamentally, any punishment should come from the police, traffic officers, or other legal authorities.

At worst, the neighborhood security guard could intervene.

To put it plainly, if she caused trouble, the law would deal with her. It wasn’t Gu Yin’s place; no matter how angry he was, he should have waited for the authorities.

Instead, he, a driver stuck behind, took the car without permission—basically committing robbery!

This kind of offense could range from detention and questioning to serious criminal charges.

You can’t just act on impulse, brother!

This isn’t some feel-good novel—you have to think!

This isn’t a rotten opportunity; it’s a serious matter!

“Don’t promote his stream just yet,” Director Han Chuan decided after a moment’s thought.

Gu Yin’s actions might be entertaining, but they weren’t something to emulate. If negative energy caused his account to get banned, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Right now…

Even Director Han didn’t know which way this would go.

...

After the thrill came an overwhelming emptiness.

Lighting a cigarette, the viewers began to consider the predicament Gu Yin was facing.

Someone commented: [If that woman reports to the police, Coach Gu is really in for it.]

That was a Cadillac CT5, priced between 200,000 to 270,000 yuan, with a final cost over 200,000.

Normally, property disputes over 5,000 yuan can be investigated. Gu Yin had driven off with a car worth over 200,000!

That was serious. One wrong move and he could end up behind bars.

If he had just driven the car a short distance, parked it somewhere that didn’t block traffic, and left it alone, the police would understand the situation and at most give a minor penalty to soothe the Cadillac owner.

But the problem was…

Gu Yin kept driving the Cadillac, showing no signs of stopping.

He was driving further and further away, already far from the school nearby.

“This guy’s crazy!” Mengmeng, following closely behind, couldn’t help but curse.

As a celebrity, Xia Qianyi getting involved in this kind of mess could easily spark a media storm. And Gu Yin was clueless—he wasn’t thinking about others, only making things worse!

She really wanted to open his dog brain and see what kind of mush was inside!

“Qianyi, call him and tell him to stop!” Mengmeng shouted.

If he stopped now, they could offer the Cadillac owner some money and settle everything quietly.

But if he kept driving, it might push the Cadillac owner over the edge!

“Qianyi, Qianyi?”

What baffled Mengmeng was that no matter how many times she called, Xia Qianyi ignored her completely.

Mengmeng turned to look and saw Xia Qianyi staring intently ahead, watching the Cadillac Gu Yin was driving.

“What are you looking at? Call him already!” Mengmeng thought. Was their star actress scared stiff?

What made Mengmeng even more stunned was that Xia Qianyi’s lips curled up slightly, a faint smile playing on her face, her delicate body trembling lightly.

Mengmeng: “???”

They’ve lost it!

This world has gone mad!

Everyone’s gone insane!

Is there no one normal left, for heaven’s sake?!
