In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 198 Past Events, the Origin of Young A-Gui

Yu Dawei never expected that Zhang Erlengzi harbored hatred for both of them, and judging from his words, he wished they would be removed from their posts as soon as possible, or even disappear from the world altogether.

At this point, Yu Dawei finally understood why Boss Wang could so easily get the other party to come over willingly with just one phone call.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend; the Book of Plain Words is truly not deceiving me.

Besides that, Deng Zhijun lied to everyone about another thing: his age.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he likes to be called "Brother Jun'er". In reality, this guy is not even 25 years old. He just looks a bit older, like a greasy uncle in his thirties.

This time, Boss Liang couldn't hold back any longer. He felt disgusted and, under Boss Duan's mocking gaze, wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground!

This kid is about ten years younger than me, and I've been calling him "Brother Jun'er" all along!
An insult! This is an absolute and blatant insult!
Yu Dawei suppressed the nearly exploded Duan boss, then looked at Zhang Erlengzi: "So, Deng Zhijun actually has quite a few helpers under his command?"

"It's just a bluff. He might fool you out-of-towners, but everyone here knows what kind of person he is. He's the kind of guy who wouldn't even spare his own wife if he wanted to cheat someone. Anyone who hangs out with him is either a petty thief or a con artist." Zhang Erlengzi took a sip of tea. "At most, you'd be lucky to have three or five of them. He can't afford to support more than that."

Yu Dawei understood, and then he asked the most crucial question.

It's about A-Gui. The reason he put this topic last for young A-Gui is that he doesn't want Zhang Erlengzi to see his true purpose.

Zhang Erlengzi, being a seasoned veteran, almost instantly grasped the true intentions of Yu Dawei and his group, but he didn't expose them because their interests were aligned.

He wanted to see Chang Hai and Deng Zhijun completely ruined! As for what would happen to A Gui and Yang Zi, he didn't care.

But after all, he was one of the first veterans to work in the construction machinery industry, so he knew a lot about Ah Gui's affairs, even some secrets that Wang Yang didn't know.

Based on the principle of working together to destroy Chang Hai, Zhang Erlengzi didn't hold back and brought up some old stories.

It turns out that A-Gui's full name is Jiang Gui. His father's name is Jiang Jianhua, who was a very influential figure back then. When Zhang Erlengzi talked about this man, he was full of admiration.

This person was the first to dare to take the plunge back then. With his superb repair skills, he established connections with some overseas machine repairmen early on and started selling excavators. His first excavator sold for an astronomical price. He then began to expand his customer base in China at an alarming rate, and his business grew bigger and bigger as a result.

Many people in Yushui County were influenced by him back then and switched from repairing agricultural machinery to repairing excavators. This included Zhang Erlengzi, who was one of the earliest to "get a share" with Jiang Jianhua.

According to Zhang Erlengzi, Old Wang (Wang Yang) in the courtyard was also a career changer. He used to run a photo studio, which was quite profitable in the 1970s and 80s. After Old Wang had capital, he thought about doing things honestly and didn't follow Jiang Jianhua's bold approach.

On the contrary, he was cautious and never used excavators. He paid every penny he was owed, and it was precisely because of this that he was able to survive until now and maintain his huge business.

In contrast, when Jiang Jianhua was at his peak, he founded the Dynasty Trading Company and established it directly in Dingcheng. He even used business tactics to carve out one-third of Dingcheng's market share!
He was incredibly popular at the time, becoming a benchmark and source of pride for Yushui County, even surpassing the current mysterious boss of Yushui County.

But in the end, everything returns to dust.

In recent years, the illegal construction machinery industry has been strictly investigated, and some people have become restless. In particular, Jiang Jianhua, although very capable, is arrogant and domineering, and has even done things like bullying men and women.

Zhang Erlengzi's assessment of him was that he was still too young. Being young was a blessing, as it allowed him to think and act boldly, but it was also a curse, as it made him unrestrained.

When Jiang Jianhua dominated Dingcheng and brought Dynasty Trade to its peak, he was only twenty-six years old. He was too young and too trusting, which ultimately led to his betrayal by his brother, who then imprisoned him.

Zhang Erlengzi suspected that Chang Hai must have been among those who framed Jiang Jianhua back then.

When Yu Dawei asked about the reason, Zhang Erlengzi sighed, a rare occurrence, his tone filled with regret and helplessness.

It turns out that Chang Hai was addicted to gambling when he was young, and later owed Jiang Jianhua a huge debt. He lived in hiding every day, and would become a deadbeat when found.

How could Jiang Jianhua have built such a large business without any cunning? He not only drove Chang Hai's elderly parents to their deaths, but also kidnapped Chang Hai's newlywed wife when the latter tried to become a deadbeat.

The original intention was to detain her until Chang Hai raised the money, at which point he would return the woman to the other party; otherwise, he would kill her.

But Jiang Jianhua probably never imagined that he would fall in love with a married woman. Perhaps he liked her personality, perhaps he enjoyed being with her, or perhaps it was just a simple fetish... All of this is now impossible to verify.

Later, the two not only got together, but also had a child, who is now Jiang Gui!

At this point, Yu Dawei, Boss Liang, and Duan Dahai were all dumbfounded and almost couldn't resist picking up their stools and frying some melon seeds.

"Wait, Mr. Zhang, let me sort this out first." Mr. Liang raised his hand to stop the other party from continuing, tilting his head and frowning: "So, this child is nominally Chang Hai's child with his wife, but in reality, he's the child of Jiang Jianhua and Chang Hai's wife." Mr. Liang took a deep breath. No wonder, no wonder Chang Hai didn't treat young A Gui like a human being at all. If this happened to him, he wouldn't be able to stand it either! Especially since it's a vicious person who got into this mess.

Yu Dawei frowned at this moment. If that was really the case, then things might not be so easy to handle.

“No, long after Jiang Jianhua got together with Chang Hai’s wife, Jiang Jianhua forced Chang Hai to divorce his wife. Later, the two of them even held a wedding together at the Dingcheng Yanzhao Hotel, which I attended.” Zhang Erlengzi took out a tobacco pouch from his pocket.

Yu Dawei breathed a sigh of relief; things would be much easier now.

He now has a pretty good grasp of the situation regarding Chang Hai and Deng Zhijun, and the next step is to work with Zhang Erlengzi to plan how to bring down these two.

To Yu Dawei's surprise, Boss Zhang had been collecting evidence against Chang Hai for the past few years, but most of it was trivial and could only get him sentenced to a year or two. It would be pointless to do such things if he wasn't punished severely.

But Yu Dawei heard something different in Zhang Erlengzi's narration, which might even become the final deciding factor.

Yu Dawei didn't say anything, but he secretly kept it in mind. After all, when Zhang Erlengzi talked about Chang Hai and Deng Zhijun, he also revealed some of the things he had done back then. He was definitely not a good person, but he was definitely a bad guy.

The group chatted until about four o'clock in the afternoon before Yu Dawei asked Boss Wang Yang to find him a taxi, and then they all left in the car.

Wang Yang and Zhang Erlengzi were old acquaintances, but Old Wang had always looked down on this and that excavator market, feeling that they were ruining the atmosphere of the excavator market in Yushui County.

Conversely, Zhang Erlengzi admired Wang Yang. As the saying goes, it's better to offend a gentleman than a petty person. Old Wang was considered a rare gentleman in their market.

"What do you think of this kid Dawei?" Zhang Erlengzi didn't leave in a hurry, with a pipe dangling from his mouth.

"I'm not familiar with it, and I don't know much about it, but it's a good thing after all, isn't it?" Wang Yang kept his mouth shut and didn't want to reveal any of his thoughts.

Zhang Erlengzi didn't want to make a fool of himself. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he left. Back in his courtyard, he needed to thoroughly review the old grievances, just in case one of them might come in handy.

Meanwhile, Yu Dawei returned to the official residence, drove away, and drove all the way to the guesthouse.

It was getting late, and Yu Dawei still had to wait for a few people, so he could only rest for now.

Upon entering the guesthouse, the three saw Deng Zhijun, who had been waiting for them. He was very polite and apologized for what had happened earlier that day.

Yu Dawei naturally played along for a while, responding to each move as it came.

Seeing that the other party wasn't falling for his tricks, Deng Zhijun took the initiative to ask where the three of them had gone that afternoon.

Yu Dawei simply replied, "I didn't eat enough at noon. I got hungry after leaving Boss Chang's place, so I found a place to eat, and after eating, I just strolled around and came back."

Deng Zhijun wanted to ask about the car being parked in the official's courtyard that afternoon, but he was afraid that the other party would find out that he was spying on them. In the end, he left feeling quite uncomfortable.

He had no choice but to leave, because Yu Dawei had changed the way he held the hunting rifle in his right hand—from holding it vertically to gripping it horizontally.

Yu Dawei stood at the door, watching Deng Zhijun walk away unwillingly through the glass, his brows furrowing more and more: "I hope you can arrive early tomorrow, otherwise this walking money bag will be wasted."

"Dawei, do you want to hire a couple of helpers tomorrow? I have some people in Shicheng next door, they can drive over in no time." Boss Liang leaned closer to Yu Dawei, still a little worried.

Yu Dawei smiled and patted Boss Liang's big belly: "Brother Liang, don't worry, I have my own plans for tomorrow. Besides, I dare not use anyone you know, this one is already giving me a headache."

"Hahaha, Dawei is right." Duan Dahai, carrying his suitcase, had a mocking smile on his lips. "I wonder who it is that keeps calling him 'Brother Jun' all the time in our town."

"Duan Dahai, shut up! It's like you didn't say anything!" Boss Liang blushed with embarrassment.

"I did shout, but I didn't shout as much as you."

"Old Duan, I never knew you were such a bastard!"

"I'm shameless, after all, I called him Brother Jun'er."

"roll!"
