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

Chapter 334 Encirclement and Suppression, Nighttime Escape!

At this point, Zhou Hao gave Wang San a speechless look: "Brother, don't be so reckless next time. Yu Dawei is really not someone we should antagonize. He's smart, a good fighter, and has connections. We can't afford to mess with someone like that."

"It wasn't easy for us to build such a large business."

Wang San looked embarrassed, then became somewhat annoyed: "I know who he is! I only warned him a couple of times, and he made things so bad for me back then! You, aren't you angry?"

Zhou Hao was speechless for a moment. To be honest, if he were also tied naked to a pillar, he probably wouldn't be able to hold back his temper either.

But Yu Dawei is someone you shouldn't mess with.

The older cousin's investigation into Yu Dawei was somewhat one-sided. According to his later investigation, Yu Dawei also knew the owner of Mingzhu Nightclub.

They also knew that the other party had offended a young master from the oil city.

Zhou Hao is the type of person who always thinks the worst. Before he came today, he had already thought about it. If he failed to snatch the tape, he would join forces with that young master from the oil city and do whatever it takes to protect their business, even if it means becoming his lackey.

However, things were not as bad as I had imagined.

With the tape destroyed, Yu Dawei will have to swallow his anger if he doesn't want to escalate the situation.

As for Xu Huang, Zhou Hao didn't take him seriously at all.

"Brother Hao! Brother Hao, something bad has happened!"

Just then, a shout came from outside the door.

"What's the panic? Speak properly." Zhou Hao turned around and glanced unhappily at the underlings who had come in. These were the same ones Sun Shunli had pinned to the ground earlier.

"Brother Hao, after you guys left, Yu Dawei, along with Supervisor Xu and that Sun Shunli, went to this kid's dorm!" The underling pointed to the young man lying on the ground stealing the tape recorder. "His dorm was ransacked, and I don't know if they found anything or not, but not long after, they drove off! I saw them run out of the construction site with my own eyes!"

After hearing his subordinate's report, Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the young man by the collar: "Tell me! Whose cassette tape is that on the bed!"

"Yes, it's mine." The young man covered his face and answered timidly, "The tape recorder is mine too, I bought it from outside."

"Slap!" Zhou Hao slapped the other man's other cheek in anger. "I'll make you tell the truth! Whose is it?!"

The young man was also dumbfounded. Didn't he just say that everything was his own? Why is he treating me like this now?
Left with no other choice, he had to honestly confess, "I stole the tape recorder from Sun Shunli, and the cassette tape you're holding was something I bought later at the market in the center of the oil city."

"You son of a bitch! You ruined my plans!" Zhou Hao punched the other man repeatedly like a madman. "And what else! How many cassette tapes did you buy! The ones you stole from the other guy before!"

“One tape at a time. I played the tapes I stole from them before, but they were just crackling static with no songs, so I threw them in the box. I’ve said everything I could, please, please stop hitting me, sob sob sob…” The young man could no longer hold back his pain and burst into tears.

He had been working on construction sites since graduating from junior high school. He had seen people being bullied and even gangs fighting, but he had never had any problems while working on construction sites for so many years.

But what happened this time? He had always made a living on the construction site by bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so why did he get caught up in such a vortex?
At this moment, the young man was filled with regret. If only he had never provoked that kid Sun Shunli! No! He should have studied hard in school! His family lived in the oil city, and his family could definitely afford to send him to school.

Now I can only blame myself. I've been ignorant and incompetent since childhood, and I'm physically weak and can't even fight.

“Brother, call all the brothers we can get from the oil city! We have to stop Yu Dawei and his gang tonight. That tape must have fallen into their hands, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to drive away as soon as they left.” Zhou Hao put the young man down and turned to look at Wang San. “This tape is related to our Eighth Bureau and my cousin’s coal mine business.”

"No matter which one it is, it won't stand up to their investigation!"

Wang San stood up and nodded solemnly: "Alright, send everyone out in cars to chase after them now!"

At night, the workers who had just returned to their dormitories to rest heard the noisy sound of running outside, followed by the sounds of cars and motorcycles starting up.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many.

Yu Dawei, along with Sun Shunli and Xu Huang, had already driven onto the national highway in the oil city: "Where to?"

He rushed out in a hurry and didn't know where he was going, so he just wandered around aimlessly.

"I heard you were staying at your second uncle's place before. Why don't we go there? With your second uncle there, they shouldn't dare to do anything to us!" Xu Huang sat in the passenger seat, already holding the hunting rifle under the back seat.

This was the first time in his life he had ever handled a gun. He felt a surge of excitement, and his eyes held a madness unique to men. His mind was filled with images of black-and-white gunfight movies he had watched in college.

"You certainly know how to cause trouble for others." Yu Dawei sneered, clearly mocking Xu Huang for his inability to handle the affairs of the Eighth Bureau project department.

Xu Huang looked embarrassed upon hearing this. He naturally understood the implication in Yu Dawei's words. Although it was true, he still said in a firm tone, "It's not that I'm incompetent or unable to manage them. You can only blame Lao Chang. In order to implement Huang Fengcang's reform plan, he gave too much power to the contractors! There are too few people from the Eighth Bureau left in the project department, so they can easily be sidelined!"

Yu Dawei made no comment on this, as it was an internal matter of the Eighth Bureau. Right now, all he had to do was take the tapes and drive safely to his second uncle's project site to hide.

"Smoothly, put the tape away. If anything unexpected happens, you run first and deliver it to Hou Wanqiang at the Xueyuan New District project site." Yu Dawei took out the white-labeled tape from his pocket. The tape still had several popular songs marked on it, but now it had been changed.

Without saying a word, Yu Dawei threw the cassette tape into Sun Shunli's arms behind him, and stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, increasing the speed even further.

"No, what do you mean, Dawei? They... they can catch up with us?" Xu Huang asked, somewhat flustered.

"What else?! Do you know what kind of car this is?" Yu Dawei held the steering wheel with his left hand and pressed the accelerator with his right foot, accelerating the car.

Xu Huang was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "What car?"

Yu Dawei grinned, but kept his eyes on the road ahead, not looking at Xu Huang beside him: "Fiat 126p, top speed 103 km/h, twin-cylinder engine. If you put in the effort, you might be able to catch up to its speed on foot."

Of course, Yu Dawei's statement is somewhat exaggerated, as the highest speed humans have ever reached is only 64.37 kilometers per hour, but this analogy is also quite apt.

Compared to other four-cylinder cars, the Fiat's speed certainly doesn't reach the level of Xu Huang's black Volkswagen.

"Yu Dawei, you've almost killed me! You bastard! Why didn't you say so sooner!" Xu Huang nearly flew into a rage and killed someone after hearing Yu Dawei's explanation. This bastard only explained himself now. He had been wondering why the car was going so slowly!

"Why didn't I just drive my car? What if they catch up with us?" Xu Huang transformed into a resentful woman waiting to be married, her melancholy gaze giving Yu Dawei goosebumps.

"Have you considered that if the other side knows that the tape is still intact and in our hands, will they mobilize all of Wang San's men to chase us?" Yu Dawei calmly analyzed, "If we don't have any weapons on us, and we are surrounded and intercepted, then we won't have any hope of turning the tide!"

The reason why Yu Dawei and Xu Huang quickly decided to escape from the construction site was because they guessed that Zhou Hao and Wang San would definitely do anything to get the tape back.

However, Xu Huang's understanding of human nature was not as thorough as Yu Dawei's. Given Wang San and Zhou Hao's personalities, encirclement and suppression was what they should do, even at any cost.

“There’s one thing I think you’re right about. There might really be quite a few people in the Eighth Bureau who have close ties with Wang San. With such a complex web of connections, if things are exposed…” Yu Dawei sighed, “maybe the entire Eighth Bureau branch in Heilongjiang Province will have to undergo a major reshuffle.”

Xu Huang, unusually, did not refute, but gripped his hunting rifle tightly and followed closely.

"Brother-in-law, a car is chasing us from behind." Sun Shunli saw several bright lights behind him through the window, and soon after, he heard the roar of an engine.

"Let's get off the highway. We can't outrun them no matter how hard we try on the road." It was Xu Huang who said this. He had just calculated in his mind that the other car was coming at more than twice the speed of Yu Dawei's beat-up car.

"Okay!" Yu Dawei didn't hesitate, quickly pulled the handbrake to turn, and stepped on the gas! The road drifted slightly and veered into the wasteland below.

Yu Dawei frequently travels the route to his second uncle's project site and has also taken several side roads, so he is unlikely to get lost. The question is whether he can shake off his opponent.

“I’ll give you my second uncle’s phone number. He can send someone to pick us up right now.” Yu Dawei’s face suddenly darkened.

He noticed that the high beams of the car behind him were getting brighter and brighter, indicating that the other car was gradually approaching, which was not good news.

"Okay!" Xu Huang took two deep breaths and quickly took out his phone to make a call, but the other end of the line just kept going dead and there was no response.

"No one is answering!"

"Let's fight later. Buckle up, there's a roadblock ahead!" Yu Dawei never expected that Wang San and his men had already laid an ambush on the other side of the road. Their actions were far too fast!
At this moment, on an abandoned road somewhere in the wasteland, a heavy truck was blocking the middle of the road with its high beams on.

Inside the car, two men were leaning against the window, smoking and talking about Dawei.

"I heard that Yu Dawei is Hou Wanshan's man. Wang Sanye is being so blatant towards him. I wonder if Hou Wanshan will retaliate against us when he finds out."

"What does this have to do with us? The boss told us to cooperate with Master Wang. What are we? We're just helping out. Even if Hou Wanshan finds out, he wouldn't make things difficult for us nobody."
