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

Chapter 333 A Split Kick

Wang San wanted to take revenge on Yu Dawei again, but he was afraid that things would get out of control, so after thinking it over, he decided to let it go for now.

The young man with the pointed face and monkey-like features was forced by Xu Huang to go to the dormitory to get the tape recorder, and the scene in the dormitory began to become awkward.

Wang San's leg wound hadn't healed yet, and his gaze towards Yu Dawei was naturally filled with hatred. However, he still restrained himself. The road roller incident had made him feel much better, and he had already come up with an even more insidious way to deal with Yu Dawei.

Gradually, Mr. Wang, who had once received a "shot of kindness" from Yu Dawei, turned his attention to Sun Shunli, who was silent in the dormitory.

I wonder if this kid told Yu Dawei what happened that night.

He hadn't expected Sun Shunli to be so ruthless when he went berserk. He had previously tried to deceive the other party, but now he felt a bit more admiration for him.

"Here it comes, here it comes." The young man walked through the crowd outside and handed the black tape recorder to Sun Shunli inside the dormitory.

As for going inside to serve the other party, he would rather die than go in. The head of the Eighth Bureau, the local tyrant of the oil city, and that tall and burly Boss Yu—none of them were people a nobody like him could afford to offend.

He was filled with utter regret at that moment. How could he have been so stupid as to steal Sun Shunli's things?

Otherwise, none of this would have happened today.

Yu Dawei and Xu Huang both looked at the radio in the young man's hand, their eyes filled with surprise. The other party had only taken out a tape recorder and nothing else.

Where's that cassette tape?
Just as Sun Shunli was about to reach out and take it, and Xu Huang was about to ask about the tape, a hand suddenly reached out from behind the young man and snatched the tape recorder.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Xu Huang and Yu Dawei narrowed their eyes slightly as they stared at the man who walked in step by step from the doorway.

Yu Dawei didn't recognize the man in the leather jacket who had snatched the tape recorder, but Xu Huang did, and the two had crossed paths countless times before.

The first time, the other party deliberately crashed into his car, and Xu Huang investigated him in detail afterward.

Zhou Hao, nicknamed "Rat," is Wang San's brother who has been through thick and thin with him. He also helped Wang San manage other businesses in the oil city, which seemed to be related to mining.

Xu Huang obtained this intelligence from a contractor.

But these things alone were not enough to make Xu Huang take it seriously. What really gave him a headache was the other party's ability.

Extremely quick-witted and vigilant, true to his name, the other party was indeed as difficult to catch as a mouse.

"Mouse? What brings you here?" Wang San was taken aback when he saw Zhou Hao at the door, because he knew that Zhou Hao should have gone to meet with his older cousin to discuss sand and gravel materials today.

"I'll be back as soon as I'm done with my work." Zhou Hao gave Wang San a look, then smiled at Yu Dawei and Xu Huang. "I saw what happened outside, but I don't think this tape might actually belong to this brother surnamed Sun."

"What do you think?" Zhou Hao turned his head, staring sharply at the young man, forcing him to give a satisfactory answer.

"Ah?" The young man was so frightened that his legs cramped up. "This, this..."

"Don't be nervous, brother. Even the head of the Eighth Bureau has to be reasonable, right?" Zhou Hao smiled at Xu Huang. "The reason I said this tape recorder was his is because he had the tape with him."

Zhou Hao took out an old cassette tape from his pocket: "Sun Shunli's tape recorder is a souvenir, so I guess you probably don't use it usually, right? But this brother's tape recorder is different, because the tape is on his bed."

"I was just curious and went to look around, and guess what? I actually found it." Zhou Hao smiled broadly at Yu Dawei and Xu Huang, whose faces were ashen, then turned to look at the young man and patted him on the shoulder: "You're such a coward, bro. This is yours, right?"

"Yes..." The young man had no idea how to answer, so he could only nod blankly and follow the other person's lead.

"Smash!" Zhou Hao heard what he wanted to hear, and with a forceful flick of his left hand, he slammed the tape recorder and cassette tape to the ground. Then, in front of everyone, he stomped on them and smashed them to pieces!
"It's yours! You're the one who's misleading Manager Xu and Boss Yu! You deserve to die!" Zhou Hao then punched the young man! Fortunately, the people around him quickly pulled him away.

At that moment, Yu Dawei and Xu Huang's hearts sank to the bottom.

The moment the other person took out the tape, their hearts skipped a beat. Before they could react, the person decisively stomped on the tape recorder and smashed it.

Now, the only piece of evidence is gone.

Even if Wang San at the door was stupid, he would know what was going on. He glared at Sun Shunli with hostility, and finally slapped the young man across the face: "You've wasted so much of our time! The thief is nowhere to be found now!" "Ahem, Manager Xu, I've already taught the man a lesson for you. As for the tape recorder, you might have to keep looking for it." Wang San walked up to Yu Dawei, picking his nose, and then rubbed it against Yu Dawei. "Boss Yu, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you much. As for you hitting my little brother tonight, I don't want to call the police. Let's just let it go."

Yu Dawei glanced at Zhou Hao's hand, which was in his pocket, and said nothing more, instead silently watching Wang San and his group leave arrogantly.

He knew the other side wouldn't dare to fire, but if a fight broke out, he wouldn't get anything; instead, his side would suffer the loss.

Wang San's actions just now clearly indicated that he wanted to make himself lose his mind and then send himself straight to jail.

"Let's leave first," Yu Dawei said in a low voice, leading Xu Huang and Sun Shunli away.

Just as Yu Dawei was about to step out of the dormitory, Sun Shunli quickly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

Yu Dawei's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Xu Huang beside him, "Let's go to that kid's dorm and find something."

Xu Huang instantly understood what the "thing" was, and hurriedly rushed to the dormitory next door, no longer caring about his image as a supervisor!
Sure enough! They found a cassette tape with a white label in a suitcase under the other person's bed. The three of them didn't linger and quickly drove away.

The car was Yu Dawei's little red car, and there were two guns inside, so it was relatively safe.

The reason they didn't stay at the project site was Xu Huang's idea.

When Zhou Hao arrived, there were even more people surrounding him outside. Xu Huang remembered that the number was not too bad. The group of people Zhou Hao brought included both members of the Eighth Bureau and those not from the Eighth Bureau, and they were all people who usually monitored him.

It's fair to say that Zhou Hao has bribed the entire project team.

He guessed that even if Yu Da found the tape for the three of them tonight, they definitely wouldn't be able to take it away. The fact that Zhou Hao could bring so many people to play their cards openly meant that he had already made a backup plan.

Wang San's dormitory at the Harbin-Oil Expressway Project Department.

"Rat, that cassette tape..." Wang San asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.

“Yes, it must have been something they secretly recorded when you were looking for Sun Shunli. When I rushed back, I saw Xu Huang outside looking strange when he was asking for the tape recorder, and I guessed that they must have recorded something.” Zhou Hao sat down in the dormitory chair, staring sharply at the young man lying on the ground. “After finding out where this person lived, I rushed over to find the tape, and sure enough, my guess was right.”

“When Yu Dawei and Xu Huang saw me take out the tape, their faces turned pale. Heh.” Zhou Hao sneered. “They thought they acted well, but their performances were full of holes.”

"Damn Sun Shunli! I'll catch him when I get the chance!" Wang San clenched his fist, then looked at Zhou Hao gratefully. "Rat, thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be kicked out of the Eighth Bureau!"

"So, you told Sun Shunli everything that night?" Zhou Hao looked at Wang San in disbelief.

He knew that his older brother wasn't particularly bright, but he wouldn't act like that.

"Damn it! Now I realize that this bastard definitely tricked me into saying things!" Wang San slammed his fist on the bed frame next to him. "I told him everything that I should and shouldn't have said that night!"

"Third Master Wang, what about our relationship..." Zhou Yaowan, who was in charge of logistics, also spoke up nervously.

He was a little afraid of Xu Huang, after all, he had been watched by the other party for more than a month and had become quite haggard.

"Heh, you think you can escape?!" Zhou Hao sat to the side with a cold expression. "Don't you even remember how Xu Huang looked at you when I took you there just now?"

"Then, what should we do? Nephew, you have to save your fourth uncle!" Zhou Yaowan said in a panic. "I finally managed to introduce you to the Eighth Bureau, you can't ruin me halfway through!"

"Fourth Uncle, don't worry." Zhou Hao couldn't bear to see his uncle like this, so he got up and coaxed him to sit down, patiently explaining, "As long as Xu Huang can't get the evidence, we can continue to live peacefully."

“I’ve recently made some connections with the person in charge of the Eighth Bureau in Heilongjiang Province and given them a lot of money. It won’t be long before Xu Huang is transferred.” Zhou Hao sighed helplessly as he said this. “I didn’t get in touch with Manager Chang of the Northeast Region, otherwise I might have been able to get Xu Huang removed from the Eighth Bureau directly. It’s a bit of a pity.”

"I've met Manager Chang a few times, Rat, how about we try again?" Wang San said with a fierce look in his eyes. He had already given Xu Huang some benefits when he came, but the man was stubborn and unyielding. He was really annoying!

Zhou Hao shook his head upon hearing this: "I heard that Chang Bin is very close to Yu Dawei, and there are even rumors that Yu Dawei has an even more powerful person backing him up in the Eighth Bureau."
