Although that's what I was thinking to myself, I definitely couldn't say it out loud.
"No problem, you find a place… but you have to let me livestream, and you'll have to follow my directions later. Of course, I'll give you a ten-percent cut afterward…"
"No problem!"
Zhang Ying hadn't even finished speaking when Xia Liang readily agreed.
"Then you need to cancel the order first."
"Okay!"
Zhang Ying didn't dawdle, excited at the thought of soon having a passionate encounter with such a handsome guy.
The sudden change in Xia Liang, however, left the viewers in the livestream feeling extremely contemptuous.
"I thought he was a Liu Xiahui, but look at him now."
"Turns out, men like that really don't exist!"
"Hahaha! What a coward. If it were me, I would've done it right there in the car!"
"And then you'd lose all interest after thirty seconds?"
"You're giving him too much credit. Three seconds!"
...
Seeing Zhang Ying cancel the order, Xia Liang didn't dawdle either.
He drove off in a new direction.
As the scenery flashed by outside her window, Zhang Ying wasn't afraid. After all, she was livestreaming and even said leisurely, "Where are we going?"
Xia Liang didn't answer her, simply stating, "You'll know when we get there."
Seeing that Xia Liang wasn't going to say, Zhang Ying didn't press him.
In her mind, it could only be a few places. A park, a restroom, a library, or even the last bus of the night...
Ten minutes later, Xia Liang suddenly stopped the car.
"We're here."
Hearing his words, Zhang Ying instinctively glanced outside and froze.
Her mind went blank. She couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Xia Liang.
"Are you crazy? We're at the Protectors' Hall?"
Hearing Zhang Ying's words, the livestream chat instantly exploded.
"Holy crap! This is insane!"
"I considered many places, but this one never crossed my mind."
"Awesome! This guy is no ordinary person!"
"Doing it here would be too thrilling!"
"What a smooth operator! That Super Rocket was well worth it!"
...
Seeing Zhang Ying's reaction, Xia Liang's lips curled into another smile.
"Don't you want things to be a little more exciting? The restroom in the Protectors' Hall?"
"Exciting?"
Zhang Ying swallowed hard, looking at the Protectors' Hall in front of her. Then she looked at Xia Liang's handsome face.
She felt hesitant.
Just then, five Super Rockets launched in the livestream chat.
"Go in! We want to see it! If it's exciting enough, there'll be five more!"
Five Super Rockets were worth a ton of money, and she'd get a fifty-percent cut. Besides, there might be five more after this!
For the money! It's just the Protectors' Hall restroom, right?
Zhang Ying gritted her teeth.
"Okay!"
Hearing her agree, Xia Liang didn't waste a moment and got out of the car.
Although Zhang Ying's heart was pounding, she followed suit.
She trailed Xia Liang toward the Protectors' Hall, speaking to her livestream audience as she walked.
"This is so exciting! Just thinking about what's going to happen inside…"
Before Zhang Ying could finish, Xia Liang interrupted her with a meaningful tone.
"Don't rush, we've only just arrived. What comes later is even more thrilling!"
Zhang Ying didn't sense anything odd in Xia Liang's words. She just assumed he was talking about other things, like different positions or something.
The two of them walked up to the nearest Protectors' Hall.
Seeing two people approach, a Protector on duty instinctively assumed they were there to file a report.
He stood up.
"Is there something I can help you with, folks?"
Before Xia Liang had a chance to speak, Zhang Ying launched into her Oscar-worthy performance.
Clutching her stomach, she said, "Excuse me, Officer. The thing is, we ate something bad and we can't find a restroom anywhere. I was wondering if we could possibly borrow yours?"
The Protector heard her out and didn't seem too suspicious.
"Of course, no problem!"
He said this and prepared to lead them to the restroom.
Just as Zhang Ying was beaming with anticipation, Xia Liang suddenly spoke up.
"Wait, I want to report a crime."
The Protector, who had just turned, immediately spun back around.
"What did you just say?"
Zhang Ying's heart skipped a beat. She asked anxiously, "What are you talking about? Don't you need to use the restroom?"
Xia Liang ignored her completely, pointed at Zhang Ying, and said, "I want to report her for profiting from the distribution of obscene materials! The evidence is on her phone."
What the hell?!
Zhang Ying's eyes widened. Realizing what was happening, she scrambled to turn off her phone, but a Protector snatched it from her grasp.
By this point, the livestream chat was in complete chaos.
"????? HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"
"What the hell kind of move was that?"
"Is the streamer getting reported?"
"I'm outta here! What if they track me down?"
"...Gotta go!"
In an instant, the remaining viewers in the livestream scattered like startled birds.
When her phone was snatched, Zhang Ying's first instinct was to run, but she was blocked by other Protectors who had rushed over at the commotion.
"You… what are you doing?"
The Protector holding the phone carefully reviewed the video recordings on it. Before long, he looked up with a flushed face and said, "I'm sorry, miss, but you're suspected of profiting from the distribution of obscene materials. We have to take you into custody according to the law…"
With a nod, two other Protectors escorted her to an interrogation room.
"Hmph!"
Xia Liang snorted coldly.
You brat, did you really think I couldn't handle you? I was originally going to let you off the hook, but you had to pull such a dangerous stunt while I was driving.
The Protectors, of course, had no idea what Xia Liang was thinking.
"Sir, since you're the one who filed the report, we'll need you to give a statement."
"No problem!" Xia Liang readily agreed.
Over ten minutes later, after giving his statement, Xia Liang was escorted out by a Protector.
The officer's gaze toward Xia Liang was full of admiration. Having understood what happened, he could only think to himself, He's a true role model! To actually withstand such a temptation!
Leaving the Protectors' Hall, Xia Liang whistled to himself.
He had been delayed by half an hour, but Xia Liang felt great. First, he'd gotten his revenge. Second, he'd gotten to thumb his nose at the System.
Stupid System. If you ever issue another hidden task like this, I'm not doing it.
Getting back in his car, Xia Liang started a new Didi journey.
Ten minutes later, just as Xia Liang reached his destination, a cry suddenly rang out.
"Waaa, my Bao'er, please be okay! Mom and Dad will take you to the hospital right away! Hang in there! You must hang in there! We're going to the hospital right now, right now!"
Xia Liang turned to look and saw a middle-aged man holding a three or four-year-old girl, sprinting toward the community entrance.
Behind him, a woman followed closely, her face a mask of panic and anxiety, murmuring to herself as tears streamed down her face.
Seeing Xia Liang's car stopped in front of them, the middle-aged man rushed over, bent down to the car window, and said, "Excuse me, my child is having an asthma attack!"
