Chapter 181 Never give in
Li Weidong said seriously: "Uncle, this is my car, you must follow my rules!"
Li Yunlong stared at Li Weidong for a moment, and seeing that he refused to give in, he reluctantly let go of the car door handle and returned to his seat.
Li Weidong turned around and said to Tian Yu: "Tian Yu, no matter what happens, you must take good care of the children." Li Jian stuck his head out from behind Tian Yu: "Brother Weidong, I'm not afraid!"
The other children followed suit and nodded. Li Yunlong looked at them approvingly, smiled and nodded: "Good children, you are worthy of being my children." Zhao Shan raised his little face and said: "My father is Zhao Gang."
"Is Daddy here?" Zhao Chang, who had just woken up, asked curiously. Li Yunlong remained silent.
Li Weidong was sure that the tree was artificially placed in the middle of the road. This kind of traffic jam robbery method is commonplace and every driver may encounter it. As long as you get out of the car, the robbers hiding nearby will come up immediately.
This situation is relatively easy to handle, and both Li Weidong and Li Yunlong are capable of dealing with it. The most terrifying thing is that the robbers do not show up, but shoot you secretly. Most of these robbers live in the mountains and are good at shooting.
Obviously, getting off the truck was impossible, so Li Weidong stepped on the clutch and engaged reverse gear. The truck slowly moved backwards and began to make a turning gesture.
Sure enough.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp gunshot pierced the sky, and four or five young men wearing tattered cotton jackets, towels wrapped around their faces, and leather hats ran out from behind a small hill.
Li Yunlong saw the hole in the front windshield of the truck and felt a sudden fear in his heart. If he had gotten out of the truck rashly, he would have fallen down by now due to the opponent's accurate shooting.
This time, it was all thanks to Li Weidong. He wanted to apologize to Li Weidong, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them. After all, he had only apologized to Xiuqin once in his life.
When the gangsters saw the truck stopped, they also gradually stopped and shouted, "Listen, everyone on the truck, we are only after money, not life. Get off quickly, and we can spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless!"
Li Weidong rolled down the window and shouted outside, "Everyone, I'm really sorry today. We really don't have anything. The truck is full of machines with labels on them. You can't sell them at a good price. Considering that it's not easy for all of us, can you make some concessions?"
The leading gangster was carrying a gun and looked very proud: "Hey, since there is nothing, you can leave the people behind. I just saw that there are a few girls in the car, and my family just happens to be in need of a wife." Just after he finished speaking, he heard a gunshot, and he felt a sharp pain in his leg and immediately fell to the ground.
The gangster stared at the front of the truck in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Li Weidong hid behind the car and shouted loudly: "Brother Yunlong, do it!" Li Yunlong reacted, took out his gun and shot out of the window.
The gangsters didn't expect the people in the car to fight back. Usually, as long as they threatened with guns, the driver would surrender. After all, the goods belonged to the company, but the driver's life was his own. Now that their leader had fallen, they could only flee in a hurry.
The gangsters turned and ran towards the woods, but Li Weidong did not chase them. He was about to get out of the car and remove the tree in front of the car. However, Li Yunlong grabbed his wrist and said, "Damn it, the robbery has come to me! Those ** in 203 were not cleaned up back then, and they are making trouble again. I must teach them a lesson today!"
Seeing the bandits fleeing into the woods, Li Weidong wanted to persuade Li Yunlong to leave quickly, but he knew that this guy had suffered a loss and must get back at the other party, so he did not persuade him anymore, but stepped on the accelerator hard, and the truck rushed into the woods like an angry beast. Fortunately, the woods were sparse and the ground was frozen, so the truck drove smoothly.
Driven by Li Weidong's superb driving skills, the truck shuttled through the woods like a nimble fish, emitting black smoke. The wheel is one of the greatest inventions of mankind, which gives humans the ability to surpass their own speed. Obviously, two legs cannot compare with four wheels. A few minutes later, Li Weidong caught up with the two gangsters in the woods.
Seeing the terrifying posture of the truck, the two gangsters gasped and exhaled white air from their mouths. They were terrified and panicked. They raised their hands and knelt on the ground. Those fierce and evil people in the car were indeed daring people.
"Run, keep running! You dare to be so arrogant in front of me, Mr. Li? I think you are tired of living!" Li Yunlong jumped off the truck and kicked them down. Then, he skillfully tied their hands behind their backs with hemp ropes, dragged them into the car, and tied their feet.
Li Yunlong had captured Japanese soldiers many times, and this was a common occurrence for him. He quickly returned to the cockpit.
Li Yunlong pointed at the two people who had escaped and shouted, "Hurry, there are two more!"
Seeing Li Yunlong's excitement, Li Weidong had no choice but to slowly lift the clutch, step on the accelerator, and continue tracking. How could this big man who hadn't been active for a long time miss this opportunity?
The two gangsters in the distance heard the roar of the truck and realized that they could not escape by just running away. They looked at each other, pulled out the pistols on their shoulders, and pointed them at the truck.
"Bang! Bang!" Li Weidong did not dare to underestimate their shooting skills. He deftly adjusted the direction and the truck bypassed the tree, cleverly avoiding the attack. All of their gunshots hit the tree. This was the first time that the century-old tree suffered damage from humans.
The provocation of the gangsters angered Li Yunlong, and he pulled out his gun from his waist. However, Li Yunlong was not the kind of person who would vent his anger on the captives. Even once, he was stopped by Zhao Gang. Now, he could only jump off the truck.
Li Weidong habitually took out the crank from under the seat and got off the car right after Li Yunlong.
When the gangster saw the two people get out of the car, he suddenly bent down, picked up a fallen leaf, threw it at them, and then quickly fled. He knew that once their action of blocking the road was discovered, they would have no way out.
Li Weidong instinctively covered his eyes with his arms, and when he lowered his arms, the bandits had disappeared. He knew it was too late to chase them with the truck.
The enemy seemed to know their marksmanship was accurate, so they never ran in a straight line. The cover of the trees made shooting very difficult. Firing rashly would only miss the target.
Li Weidong put the crank back to his waist and strode after the bandits. After running a few steps, he heard heavy footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that Li Yunlong had actually run up to him, so he turned back and asked, "Li Yunlong! Have you ignored your wife and children?"
Li Yunlong, who had originally decided to chase the criminals, stopped after hearing what Li Weidong said. Continuing the chase would mean disregarding the safety of his family, and returning to the truck would mean failure. Would Li Yunlong really give up?
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and turned back to the truck. Tian Yu and the children saw his actions and smiled at the same time. They knew that Li Yunlong's inner struggle had finally been resolved.
Perhaps, as Li Weidong said, their family can live a peaceful and happy life in the marginal areas of the country.
However, when he raised his foot, he accidentally kicked a stone, and the stone rolled down with a sound. The hut immediately fell silent, and then a sharp female voice rang out: "Who? Who's outside!"
The straw curtain was pulled open from the inside, and a girl wearing a tan cotton jacket and a gray scarf rushed out, her eyebrows furrowed, glaring at Li Weidong. She had fair skin, a beautiful face, and two ponytails that made her look even more pure and lovely.
However, this seemingly weak girl gave people a sense of ambition. Li Weidong looked carefully and found that the key to the problem was her nose - the originally delicate face was out of proportion because of the hooked nose, and the deep contempt in her eyes made people feel uncomfortable. However, this girl seemed familiar, who was she?
The girl noticed Li Weidong's scrutiny and realized that she had not buttoned up her cotton jacket, revealing the red sweater underneath. Her face flushed slightly. She hurriedly buttoned up her jacket and glared at Li Weidong fiercely: "You rascal, have you never seen a woman before!" Then she shouted to the hut: "Zhou Bingyi, come out quickly, I caught one."
Zhou Bingyi?
When Li Weidong saw Zhou Bingyi, wearing a tan cotton jacket and rolled up trousers, coming out of the hut, he slapped his forehead fiercely. This arrogant woman turned out to be Hao Dongmei! In the original work, Hao Dongmei was a hidden white lotus, and Qin Huairu's methods pale in comparison.
Before her father found out, Hao Dongmei knew that Zhou Bingyi was about to be promoted, but she ignored her status and frequently appeared in his office to let her superiors know her presence. Then, she used moral rhetoric to make Zhou Bingyi give up the promotion opportunity and let him stay in the Construction Corps, just to ensure her protection there.
You know, Zhou Bingyi was the deputy director of the Education Department at that time and was highly appreciated by the leaders. After returning to the city, her father regained power and Zhou Bingyi became a live-in son-in-law. Hao Dongmei fell into a well and was frostbitten when she went to the countryside and was unable to have children. For the sake of the Zhou family and her face, Zhou Bingyi kept lying that it was him who had the problem and almost became a bootlicker.
What is even more unbelievable is that Hao Dongmei claimed that she married Zhou Bingyi for love. However, only four months after Zhou Bingyi's death, the 69-year-old Hao Dongmei remarried a wealthy businessman. She once boasted that she was pure and hated businessmen who used their connections for personal gain. She also accused Zhou Bingyi of not dating wealthy businessmen, but she quickly found a wealthy businessman as her husband. Her hypocrisy is shocking.
In order to please her wealthy husband, the 69-year-old Hao Dongmei even went abroad for plastic surgery to look seven or eight years younger. Therefore, Hao Dongmei is by no means a simple person, and every step she takes has a clear purpose. Facing the powerful Hao Dongmei, Li Weidong has no good feelings for her, and the same is true for her husband Zhou Bingyi. The couple are in cahoots with each other.
