Chapter 61 Money can make the world go round

Lin Lang knew that money makes the world go round. If he gave too little money, it would be impossible for the taxi driver to risk speeding and running a red light for the sake of his passenger.

So, the anxious Lin Lang hurriedly took out his wallet.

"Uh……"

After searching for a while, Lin Lang did not find his wallet on him. Then he suddenly remembered that his clothes were all wet after racing with Zhou Mengyaoyu, and he forgot to bring his wallet when he changed clothes.

"Damn it!"

Lin Lang was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

The middle-aged male driver was driving the taxi normally. Because it was rush hour in the evening, there were many red lights. It seemed that no matter how anxious the passengers were, it had little to do with him.

Lin Lang said anxiously: "Human lives are at stake!"

"Driver, please drive faster. I really need to get to Hongqiao Airport to save someone within 20 minutes."

The middle-aged male taxi driver replied: "I'm sorry sir!"

"Why don't you just find another taxi? My taxi can't fly, so I really can't help you!"

Lin Lang promised: "Driver, do you think this is okay?"

"After we get to Hongqiao Airport, I'll give you an extra 20,000 yuan for the taxi fare. Please take me to Hongqiao Airport within 20 minutes. The speeding fine is not much. What do you think?"

The middle-aged male taxi driver was obviously tempted after hearing this, but he replied awkwardly: "Speeding is not only fined and deducted points, but the key is that it is too dangerous!"

"What if I exceed the speed limit to send you to the airport and cause a car accident on the way? If one of us is killed or injured, then this mere 20,000 yuan won't be worth it!"

Lin Lang said arrogantly: "I'll pay more!"

"fifty thousand!"

"No!"

"As long as you can successfully take me to Hongqiao Airport within 20 minutes, I will give you yuan for the taxi fare!"

The middle-aged male taxi driver was shocked after hearing this. While driving, he looked at the anxious Lin Lang in the rearview mirror and said in surprise: "Passenger, are you kidding me?"

Lin Lang frowned and replied: "Look how anxious I am, do I look like I'm joking?"

"May I ask, sir, why did you spend so much money to take a taxi to Hongqiao Airport? Who did you save?"

Lin Lang quickly lied, "I went to save my wife!"

The middle-aged male taxi driver said excitedly: "If you are not fooling me, then give me the money first, and I will take the risk of speeding and running a red light to take you to Hongqiao Airport within 20 minutes."

Lin Lang replied truthfully: "When I changed my clothes this afternoon, I forgot to bring my wallet. My wife is the daughter of a wealthy family. I rescued her when we got to the airport and asked her to pay you 100,000 yuan for the taxi fare."

The middle-aged male taxi driver laughed and said, "This passenger is really funny!"

"First of all, I can't believe empty promises made with red lips."

"Secondly, the daughters of wealthy families are all on TV. I have never seen any in real life. Sir, don't tell me that you are the son-in-law of a wealthy family. You must have read too many romance novels and after getting drunk, you can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Lang was speechless and anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

When Lin Lang thought of Chu Yiren, the arrogant and domineering daughter of a wealthy family, who looked down on all men in the world but gave all her tenderness to him, and her affectionate eyes, his heart was in a knot.

"Can't!"

"I can't let anything happen to Sister Yiren!"

"I can't let my woman die in the wreckage of a plane crash."

After reading it, the extremely anxious Lin Lang looked at his left wrist, hurriedly took off his Rolex watch and handed it to the middle-aged male taxi driver.

"This Rolex 4130 black steel Daytona watch has a domestic public price of 113,000 Chinese yuan. I bought it in the mall less than a week ago."

"As long as you can take me to Hongqiao Airport within 20 minutes, I'll give you this brand new Rolex watch as a yuan taxi fare."

The middle-aged male taxi driver's eyes lit up after seeing it, and he continued driving with excitement, but asked casually: "Isn't it a high-end imitation Rolex watch?"

Lin Lang was furious after hearing this, but he suppressed his temper and replied, "Driver, don't you take a look at this Armani suit of mine that costs tens of thousands, and an Hermès belt that costs more than 30,000. Would I wear a fake Rolex watch?"

Although the middle-aged male taxi driver didn't know much about watches, he was surprised to see that Lin Lang was wearing international brands and looked very noble, so he chose to trust Lin Lang.

After all, give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

Even if the Rolex Lin Lang gave the taxi driver was a fake, the taxi driver would only have to pay a fine of a few hundred yuan at most for speeding.

If the Rolex watch is real, then the taxi driver can make more than 10 yuan with just one order!

After reading it, the middle-aged male taxi driver made up his mind and said excitedly: "Passenger, please sit tight, I'm going to speed up and overtake!"

"I drive to the airport almost every day. I promise to take you to Hongqiao Airport within 20 minutes." As the taxi driver spoke, he suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and Lin Lang immediately felt the push on his back.

Sure enough, money can make all the difference.

As of today's stock market closing, the funds in Lin Lang's stock account have reached 2578.6 million Chinese yuan due to Lin Lang's short-term operations to maximize his profits.

Excluding the 1000 million Chinese Yuan capital he invested in the stock market, Lin Lang made a net profit of 1578.6 million Chinese Yuan in the stock market in less than a week.

Lin Lang didn't even blink an eye when he used a Rolex watch worth more than 10 yuan to save his lover Chu Yiren's life. To him, it was almost a drop in the bucket.

The streets of Shanghai in the millennium were not as congested as they are now. Although it was the evening rush hour, the traffic conditions were still acceptable.

Under Lin Lang's huge reward, the taxi driver tried his best to get the Rolex watch. He drew dragons crazily on the asphalt road, stepped on the accelerator hard, and tried his best to speed up and overtake.

I guess the driver has been driving a taxi for half his life, and this is the most exciting job.

Earning 100,000 for one job, let alone in the millennium, even in modern times, which taxi driver can refuse?

Although the middle-aged male taxi driver was already driving very fast, and even nearly crashed several times due to dangerous driving, Lin Lang still urged him, "Hurry up!"

"Hurry up!"

"Drive faster!"

The taxi driver sensed Lin Lang's urgency, stepped on the accelerator, and flexibly moved between the traffic, sometimes sticking close to the rear of the car in front, and sometimes suddenly accelerating to overtake.

Every acceleration and lane change makes the middle-aged male taxi driver's heart beat faster. It's really a one-hit job, a life-threatening job.

Lin Lang had never experienced such a moment of anxiety and heartache for a woman.

Lin Lang didn't know whether he was really in love with Chu Yiren, or whether he was very philanthropic and loved every woman he was interested in. In short, at this moment, Lin Lang had only one thought in his mind, and that was that Chu Yiren, the daughter of a wealthy family, must be alive.

But she would live the rest of her life only for him.

Lin Lang, reeking of alcohol, sat in a taxi, looking nervously at the scenery passing by outside the window.

The streets of Haikou, with lights just coming on, are a city that never sleeps with flashing neon lights. However, Lin Lang has no interest in enjoying the scenery at this moment. He is anxiously dialing the landline number of Hongqiao Airport.

However, the landline phone at Hongqiao Airport has been busy.

After Lin Lang traveled back to the millennium, everything that happened was under his control. He had never felt so powerless before, which made Lin Lang feel a little crazy.

After making several calls in a row, the staff at Hongqiao Airport finally answered the call.

"Hello~Hello!"

"This is Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. How can I help you?" a gentle female voice asked.

Lin Lang, sweating profusely, held up his phone and said anxiously, "Right now, at Hongqiao Airport, the international flight WU343 from Haikou to Sakura Country has a hidden engine failure. It must be grounded immediately and repaired to eliminate the risk of a crash. If it takes off normally, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Excuse me, sir. How did you know that the engine of international flight WU343 had a hidden fault that could cause a crash?"

Lin Lang naturally couldn't answer, he found out through the system reminder.

Therefore, Lin Lang could only reply: "Don't worry about how I know this. This is a matter of life and death. Please report it to the airport leaders immediately, urgently ground international flight WU343, send someone to repair the hidden fault of the engine, and eliminate the major hidden danger of the crash risk."

"Sir, there are some jokes that you can't make."

"Before flights at our airport take off, professional maintenance personnel will conduct a series of inspections and checks. Only after the inspections are completed to ensure the safety of the aircraft will the flights take off normally."

"Therefore, sir, you don't have to worry about the engine failure of international flight WU343 after takeoff."

After hearing this, Lin Lang said anxiously, "I'm afraid that the maintenance personnel in charge of the aircraft maintenance will make fatal negligence, causing the engine and operating system failures of International Flight WU343 after takeoff."

"This is a matter of life and death!"

"Please inform the airport leaders to delay the departure time of international flight WU343, re-arrange professional maintenance personnel to inspect the aircraft, and troubleshoot the hidden engine failure."

The female airport operator replied: "Sir, the maintenance personnel in charge of aircraft maintenance at our airport are all professional technicians. Under normal circumstances, there will be no negligence."

"If you don't have actual evidence to prove that there was a major safety malfunction in the engine of international flight WU343, I'm afraid our operators won't be able to report it to the airport leaders."

"Also, sir, if you cause a flight delay at the airport because of a prank call, you will be detained and fined by the police."

Lin Lang was so angry that his head hurt after hearing this. He shouted during the call: "I'm really not joking. The engine of international flight WU343 really has a major hidden fault. It will crash after takeoff."

The female airport operator responded, “Okay sir!”

"I will record the content of your call truthfully and report it to my superiors. As for whether they will believe it and report it to the airport leaders, I can't say. After all, you can't provide any actual evidence."

"Okay!" After hearing this, Lin Lang had a vague feeling that this call would be in vain.

"Thank you for your call. After the beep, please rate my service. I wish you a happy life!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lang pounded the car seat with his fist.

Lin Lang was sweating profusely, frowning anxiously, and continued to urge the taxi driver to drive faster and faster...
