Chapter 5: Draw a green prairie on your head!
The man on the other end was already furious. When faced with more insults, he exploded in anger and said, “Damn you…! Why is my wife’s phone with you? Where is she? Let her answer the phone!”
Originally intending to tease and relieve his anger playfully, Lin Yang faced an increasingly irate husband. Dismissing the man’s anger, Lin Yang replied with disdain, “She’s unavailable right now. She’s taking a shower!”
This response further infuriated the man. “Go to hell! She told me earlier that we had dinner plans tonight. Fine, you two just wait for me!!”
As the man continued his verbal assault, Lin Yang responded assertively, “Dinner? You eat together every day, haven’t you had enough? What’s wrong with the two of us having a rare appointment? You’re calling incessantly!”
On the other end, the man, already on the verge of losing his temper, unleashed a barrage of vulgarities. Lin Yang, unfazed, retorted, “I’ll tell you, I’ve tolerated you for a long time! I wanted to confront you for a while now!”
“Today, we spent time together. What’s the problem? Stop calling!” Lin Yang declared, deliberately moving the phone away and shouting, “Hey… okay, baby, you want a bath towel, right? Sure, I’ll bring it right away. What… wash together? Okay!”
Lin Yang pressed the hang-up button, revealing a faint smile on his face, seemingly harmless.

[When I was young, my family was very poor. The only valuable thing in the house was the big lock on the iron door. Whenever it rained, I would run out and hug the big lock, crying and shouting: “Old iron, don’t rust!” up! Old man, stop embroidering!].
[Murdering and punishing, this is, Lin Yang is a bit too much, although that woman has no quality, he is wicked!].
[Lack of yarn, haven’t you heard how ugly her husband scolded you? If you feel immoral, okay, send me your phone number, and I will scold you as well, let you experience it.].
[I can already imagine what his husband looks like now, and I’m especially looking forward to what he will do when he comes home later. Do you want to call 120 in advance?].
….
After ending the call, Lin Yang tidied up the back seat, disposing of orange peels in a roadside trash bin. He resumed driving to accept rides, only to discover it had been about ten minutes. The passenger’s phone rang again, but it wasn’t her husband. It was an unknown number.
Although Lin Yang had once disgusted her husband, returning the phone was right if it belonged to the owner. After answering, a woman’s voice came through, the same young woman from before.
“Hey! I called your ride. Did I drop a phone in the back of your car?” She asked.
Lin Yang replied calmly, “Yes, there is a mobile phone.”
“Where are you now? Give it to me!” The woman demanded.
“What? Give it to you?” Lin Yang questioned.
“Otherwise, do I have to get it myself?” The woman retorted.
“Alright, I’ll give it to you,” Lin Yang agreed.
Checking the distance, it wasn’t too far, over ten kilometers. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the designated spot, but there was no sign of the passenger. Unable to unlock the phone for contact, Lin Yang waited about five minutes before the passenger called again.
Impatient, Lin Yang urged, “I’m at the place where you got off before. Where are you?”
The passenger explained, “I’m busy right now. Coming down is not convenient. Can you bring it upstairs for me?”
Confused, Lin Yang was shocked. He had kindly brought the phone, and now she was asking him to deliver it upstairs. Frustrated, he questioned the logic of it all, wondering if she intended to catch her husband in the act.
Today, this couple challenged his understanding of humanity. How can someone become so shameless? No matter how patient a person is, he can’t tolerate her behavior.
Lin Yang was certainly not indulging her. He refused and said, “I’m sorry, as a taxi driver, I don’t provide door-to-door delivery. Please come down and take your phone.”
“What’s wrong with you? I took your car and helped you make money. Is it a problem to ask for delivery? Didn’t I pay you?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang chuckled in frustration, “Understand, the money you gave me is for the ride, not for delivering things upstairs.”
“I came all the way and waited for you. If you don’t want your phone, I’ll leave!”
He thought this statement would make the other person reconsider, especially since he had their phone. However, he underestimated the extent of some people’s lack of decency.
“I don’t want to argue with you. Deliver it to me, or I’ll complain to the platform,” she said.
“Complain all you want. I’ll ask you one last time. Take it or leave it. Otherwise, I’m going!” Said Lin Yang.
The passenger on the other end remained stubborn: “Go ahead, leave. Wait and see if I complain or not.”
“I’ll remember you. When my husband returns, we’ll find you!”
Lin Yang, uninterested, hung up the call. If she didn’t want it, he’d just take it to the police station.
Since she declined, he would deliver it directly to the police station. As for the alleged threat from her husband, he dismissed it. Igniting the engine, he pressed the gas pedal, heading towards the police station.
People in the live broadcast heard the entire exchange and couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

[Some people spent more than ten or twenty yuan thinking I am your uncle! How did she manage to be sane? These two couples usually do a lot of immoral things. I suggest the police uncle check it out. Maybe they can find something!].
[This kind of person doesn’t know how to be grateful if I lose my mobile phone. The driver was willing to return it for free and awaited me downstairs. I will buy some fruit for him or give him one or two hundred hard work fees.].
[I have encountered it before. I lost my mobile phone in a taxi, and then I called the driver and told him to give him 200 and ask him to return it. Later, he came, and I gave him 200 yuan as promised. Why would someone waste gas money to bring it to you, let alone send it upstairs? It’s simply unreasonable.].
[It’s right not to send it off. I’ve seen a scam before. Once the driver goes upstairs, many big men may be waiting for him. At that time, if you don’t give me money, you won’t be allowed to leave!].
…..
Half an hour later, Lin Yang arrived again at the Ansheng Police Station in the morning. As he entered, he encountered Captain Chen.
Seeing Lin Yang getting out of the car, Captain Chen was surprised. He greeted with a smile, “Lin Yang? Why are you here again? Haven’t you fallen for another scam?”
Handing over the phone, Lin Yang explained, “Brother Chen, a passenger, left her phone in my car. I tried returning it, but she refused, so I thought of bringing it here.”
“What? She refused?” Captain Chen was puzzled, looking at the brand-new phone with various decorations. It didn’t seem discarded.
At that moment, the phone rang. Lin Yang checked the caller ID and said, “Captain Chen, it’s the passenger’s call. I don’t want to talk to her. Do you mind answering?”
Captain Chen nodded and accepted the call. Before he could speak, the passenger on the other end erupted in anger. “Are you crazy? Just deliver it upstairs. Is it that difficult? Seriously, there are so many idiots these days.”
“I’ve already complained to the platform. Let me make it clear. If you don’t deliver it to my doorstep and apologize when my husband returns, I’ll ensure he deals with you!”
Captain Chen was bewildered, having been scolded inexplicably. Lin Yang, standing nearby, looked embarrassed. However, he could be more detached with the phone no longer in his possession.
Captain Chen, though a police officer, couldn’t help feeling a bit angry at being scolded for no reason. He replied sternly, “Ma’am, I am a police officer from Ansheng Police Station. Your phone is here. Come pick it up if you need it!”
One would expect the matter to end there, awaiting the passenger to collect her phone. But unexpectedly, the passenger on the other end became even more irate.
“Go to hell… You are trying to deceive me again. Sending the police station to intimidate me, huh? Even if you’re real, I’m not afraid! No matter who you are, I’ll give you ten minutes. If you can’t deliver it, you just wait to die!”
