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

Chapter 326 Yu Dawei Can't Stand It Anymore!
"Then, what should we do now?" Xiao Tang panicked a little, got off the bed, and grabbed onto Master Liu's bed with both hands.

Master Liu lay on the bed, pretending to ponder: "What should we do? If you ask me, no matter what we do, when your boss comes, he will definitely report your scalp oil to the authorities. It would be better to disassemble the road roller and sell all the valuable parts."

"Huh? This, this isn't a good idea." Xiao Tang hesitated. "Besides, I don't know how to dismantle a road roller."

"Brother, you still have us, right?" Master Liu stood up and jumped down from the upper bunk, moving with the agility of a monkey. "We brothers all have experience repairing cars. You'd better think this through. After tonight, there will be no way you'll be able to make any money to go home!"

Fearing further repercussions, Master Liu added fuel to the fire by whispering in Tang Chenwu's ear, "Think about it, last time you were reprimanded by Boss Yu just because you got up late. Now you're stealing oil! And engine oil, gear oil, diesel—you've taken a little of everything. If you're caught, the Eighth Bureau won't let you off the hook!"

"Run now, there's still a chance to survive!"

"I... I'll think about it some more." Tang Chenwu frowned, his fingers trembling slightly.

"Don't even think about it, brother. These past few days you've treated us to meals and drinks, and even taken us to the city to find girls. For that kind of friendship, I wouldn't lie to you." Master Liu's eyes narrowed, his words sharp and sarcastic. "I've seen through your boss, Mr. Yu; he doesn't intend to treat you like human beings!"

"Not only do they pay you such a low salary, but they also beat and scold you for even the smallest mistake. If you're really smart, you should leave and find another way out as soon as possible!"

Tang Chenwu's eyes showed some interest, but he was eventually persuaded by Master Liu. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fist, and nodded: "Okay! Let's dismantle the car now, and I'll pack my things and leave tonight."

"The parts are just too heavy..."

"Don't worry, your brother Liu may not have much else, but he has a lot of friends. He knows people who collect scrap, and he has quite a few friends who own pickup trucks. He'll make sure you have a safe haven." Master Liu smiled at Tang Chenwu.

After that, the roommates all put on their clothes and left the dormitory furtively.

When Sun returned to the dormitory, there wasn't a single person left.

At this moment, he was even more puzzled, and he sat blankly on Xiao Tang's empty bed, unable to calm down for a long time.

After calming down for a while, he finally hid the tape recorder in his carry-on luggage. The so-called luggage was just some odds and ends in a silk bag, but the tape recorder was neatly wrapped up and placed there, so no one would notice.

However, Sun Shunli was still a little worried, so he took the tape recorder out of the bag, opened it, took out the cassette tape, and placed the tape recorder and the cassette tape in two separate places in the silk bag.

After doing all this, he placed the silk bag back against the corner of the wall exactly as it was, then climbed back onto his bed, covered himself with the blanket, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

As for everything Wang San promised him, he pretended not to hear it at all.

Since the other party hasn't reached the point of threatening him yet, he'll just pretend he doesn't know anything.

As for what Xiao Tang did, even if he knew now, what could he do? Could he control it?
They tried to persuade him before, but he wouldn't listen. And Sun Shunli isn't some reincarnated bodhisattva.

He asked for his own death, so he has no one else to blame but himself!
The following day, an accident occurred in the fourth section.

Boss Yu's road roller operator fled overnight, taking away everything on the truck—valuable and worthless parts, anything that could be easily disassembled.

Road roller side shaft, motor, vibratory pump, pilot valve, oil filter...

When Dawei arrived at the scene after receiving the news, he was completely stunned and almost couldn't make it through!
He never expected that this kid would be so ruthless. Of the three main components of a road roller—the engine, the travel mechanism, and the vibration mechanism—he stole two of them!

If you were to sell the parts for these items, they would cost at least 30,000.

"Boss Yu, what do you think we should do to resolve this?" Xu Huang stood next to Yu Dawei, the two of them standing together in front of the Bomag road roller.

"Let's call the police," Yu Dawei said, taking the other person's ID card out of his pocket and handing it to Xu Huang.

The ID cards of this era are still the old-fashioned laminated ones, but they still contain the other person's detailed information. As long as you follow the information on the card, there's no way to escape.

Previously, Yu Dawei was afraid that the kid would never repent, so he thought of confiscating the other party's ID card and then teaching him a lesson after the other party found out, and returning the ID card to the other party when he behaved well.

It was originally intended as an educational measure, but now it seems unnecessary.

"Alright." Xu Huang's eyes showed a slight surprise, not expecting that Yu Dawei had a hidden trick up his sleeve.

"I'll fix the car as soon as possible, and then we can catch up on the work," Yu Dawei stated, indicating that it was best to fix the car first so as not to affect the work on site.

"Alright, the person in charge of the construction site also bears some responsibility for this. I'll ask them about it later." Xu Huang thought for a moment, but before leaving, he couldn't help but say, "When you have time, come to my office. I have something to discuss with you."

In fact, Xu Huang had never thought of cooperating with Yu Dawei. He even thought that Wang San and Yu Dawei were friends, since he had seen that their subordinates had become entangled together.

However, it now seems very likely that it was Wang San's complete set.

The other side must have been trying every means to deal with Yu Dawei these past two months, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big move.

Therefore, Yu Dawei is definitely not Wang San's accomplice; the two are completely adversaries.

Therefore, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, although Xu Huang didn't really want to be friends with Yu Dawei.

But through this incident, Xu Huang could see that Wang San had considerable control over these sections of the Harbin-Oil Expressway. Cooperating with Yu Dawei might be a good solution.

Yu Dawei glanced at Xu Huang's departing figure and frowned.

He had initially thought that Xu Huang might have been involved in this matter, but now it seemed unlikely.

When the people around saw that Manager Xu had left, some of the bosses who had been watching the commotion also dispersed, since they all had their own things to do.

For a moment, only Yu Dawei and Sun Shunli remained at the scene.

"Who else is in your dorm?" Yu Dawei asked as he circled the road roller to observe it.

“They’re all here,” Sun Shunli said.

Yu Dawei nodded, and when he saw the dark, even sticky, engine oil coming out of the oil pipe, his eyes narrowed slightly: "In the few days I was away, has this car been any different from before?"

“Different?” Sun Shunli thought for a moment. “The vibration frequency seems wrong, and it occasionally makes a rattling sound. Also, these past two days, the exhaust pipe has stopped emitting black smoke and started emitting blue smoke. I almost didn’t finish the work yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei clutched his chest with his right hand, feeling a sudden, sharp pain that made it hard to breathe.

The entire car repair cost over 60,000 yuan, and now it's mostly unusable.

"Were you there when Tang Chenwu changed the engine oil?" Yu Dawei asked again.

“He was always there and made me change his oil.” Sun Shunli thought for a moment and then said, “A few times he went out at night after getting dressed, and I saw him and asked him about it. He said he was going to check the car. I wanted to go with him, but he wouldn’t let me.”

Yu Dawei understood. He patted the body of the road roller with his large hand, making a loud slapping sound.

Anyone who worked for Yu Dawei in their past life and is familiar with this gesture knows that he's on the verge of exploding in rage.

“The car broke down, and I don’t need to do any work for a while, so you should pack up and leave.” At this moment, Yu Dawei didn’t really trust anyone around him.

He has come up with three possibilities for why someone is targeting him.

The first possibility is that Xu Huang was behind it all, and afterwards acted as if nothing had happened, calling him into his office to inquire about his well-being.

The second possibility is that Wang San and his men were behind it. Tang Chenwu was very close to Wang San's men, which he had always known, so this possibility is extremely high.

The third possibility is that the extremely shrewd Sun Shunli, who is by his side, may be using the methods of the two groups mentioned above to eliminate dissidents, forcing Yu Dawei to patiently teach him.

This possibility is small, but not impossible.

Yu Dawei was in a state of utter confusion, so the first thing he needed to do was to stay calm and then act decisively to resolve the situation.
By successfully driving Sun away, we can first eliminate one uncertain factor.

"It hasn't even been three months yet, I... I'm not leaving." Sun Shunli knew that Yu Dawei was angry at the moment, but her stubbornness wouldn't allow him to leave now.

He was somewhat regretful. It wasn't until today, when he heard Boss Yu mention the value of the stolen parts, that he realized he should have come out to stop them last night.

Thirty or forty thousand! He had no idea these parts were so valuable. It's like a farmer who has been planting crops for years without a harvest, and his whole family has no food and can only wait to die.

Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty. Although Boss Yu didn't like him, he had treated him well.

If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier...

Suddenly, he remembered that cassette tape!

“Boss…” Sun Shunli was about to speak when he was interrupted by Yu Dawei’s roar.

"Get out! Get out of here right now!" Yu Dawei punched and kicked Sun Shunli like a madman. "Are you an idiot?! You study car repair and driving stuff to death every day! And you can't even see that there's something wrong with this car! How can you be so stupid! Why didn't you just tell me!"

After venting his frustrations, Yu Dawei looked at Sun Shunli, who was cowering with his head down, looking completely lost. His heart softened, and he sighed deeply, patting Sun Shunli's shoulder with a guilty expression. He said, "Shunli, now that things have come to this, I won't hide it from you anymore."

“Actually, I never intended to use you. You’re not the kind of person with natural talent like Tang Chenwu, nor are you the kind of person who can achieve success through sheer hard work like Huang Man.” Yu Dawei frowned and said earnestly, “Although Huang Man isn’t very intelligent, he does have a little bit of mechanical talent, and most importantly, he has a passion for engineering machinery.”

"But I know you didn't! You're forcing yourself to do something you absolutely hate. You're simply trying to prove yourself."

Yu Dawei had seen many people like this in his past life, especially in school. Some students simply didn't like studying and didn't have much talent for it, but they forced themselves to study, only to get pitifully little benefit.

With this time, I'd rather get some more sleep.

Sun Shunli was speechless, because he knew that Yu Dawei was right.
