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

Chapter 471 Almost Got Arrested!

"Give me the stuff." Yu Dawei reached out and grabbed the toolbox, then gently lowered it to the ground using the sling.

Then he helped Lao Ji by reaching out and pulling him to the other side of the wall.

"Head north."

The two men, carrying tools, crouched low and stealthily made their way north.

Because of the several snowfalls, the two of them naturally made a "crunching" sound as they walked on the snow. They could only slow down and try to make the sound as quiet as possible.

"Boss, I see the road roller." The two hadn't walked far when Lao Ji spotted the road roller in the distance, which looked like a tall mound under the bright moonlight.

"Walk."

Yu Dawei quickened his pace in the direction Lao Ji pointed out. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was not only one road roller, but also two other brands parked nearby. One was almost new, while the other was quite old and not much better than his own double-drum road roller.

"Wait for me downstairs, I'll go up and get it done." Yu Dawei took the toolbox, put it on the ground, opened it, and prepared to get started.

"No, boss, you don't need to do this yourself, I'll do it!" Old Ji picked up the wrench that Yu Dawei was trying to grab, his face showing a resolute expression.

"You?" Yu Dawei's eyes were filled with suspicion. "Are you sure you can do this? Do you even know where we are?"

"Don't worry, you already told me on the way, there won't be any problems."

Seeing Lao Ji's eager look, Yu Dawei could only nod reluctantly: "Climb over to the hydraulic system and adjust it, but don't adjust it too much. Just make it move and get moving, but it can't do anything. Don't forget to remove the screws I mentioned."

"Don't worry, I guarantee the oil level and everything will be normal." It was also the first time Old Ji had done something like this, and he couldn't help but feel excited. He quickly climbed up the road roller tire with his tools.

Yu Dawei also put away his toolbox and stood around to help Lao Ji scout the area.

Ten minutes later...

"Is it ready?" Yu Dawei couldn't help but turn his head and ask.

"It's too dark, it's a bit troublesome to take it apart and reassemble it." Old Ji was somewhat speechless under the cover, reaching out to tighten the screws one by one.

The moon was supposed to be very round and bright tonight, but it was completely blocked by the rear hood, so he had to work in the dark.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the quiet snowfield, and the light of a flashlight could be faintly seen flashing in the distance.

"Someone's coming! Get down quickly!" Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Dawei quickly called out softly to Lao Ji, who was diagonally above and behind him.

Old Ji panicked. It was already freezing cold, and Yu Dawei's shout made his hand tremble. The number 24 board with the notch fell downwards due to gravity.

"Clang clang clang clang..." As it fell, the wrench struck the components of the engine assembly next to it, making a crisp sound.

Old Ji was immediately terrified and turned pale. He quickly jumped off the side tire to pick up the wrench.

"Who?!" The figure holding a flashlight in the distance seemed to have noticed something was wrong and shouted from afar before quickly running in this direction.

"Forget about the wrench, come here!" Yu Dawei turned his head and saw that Lao Ji was still going to pick up the wrench that had fallen in the snow. He couldn't help but pull the other man under the car.

Because the road roller itself has a high chassis and large tires on both sides, Yu Dawei knew that running away was not an option, so he could only pull the other party under the vehicle.

The two men were hiding under the tires of the car, and the area around the car was covered with footprints in the snow, some of which were fresh from their work over the past few days.

"Creak, creak..." The sound of footsteps in the distance grew closer.

Yu Dawei and Lao Ji both had their hearts in their throats. Fortunately, Yu Dawei managed to keep his balance and didn't forget to glance back at the newcomer through the tires.

The other person was also wearing a military overcoat and a fur hat, and was standing at a distance, aimlessly looking around with a flashlight in his right hand.

The other person was also holding a wooden stick, seemingly worried about potential thugs.

When Yu Dawei saw the other party standing still, he thought that the other party would turn away out of fear. But to his surprise, the other party boldly took two more steps forward and came to the side of the Volvo road roller.

The chipped board that fell outside was less than half a meter away from the other party. If the other party was careful enough, they could spot the number 24 board by slightly shaking the flashlight.

At this moment, the three of them were separated only by a large tire.

A man stood outside with a flashlight, looking around haphazardly, while two others huddled trembling under the tires, clutching toolboxes. "Who's there? Who's there!" the man with the flashlight called out again to those around him.

He was just someone temporarily brought in to look after the site; not only was his pay low, but his health wasn't good either.

If the noise hadn't been so loud, he wouldn't have dared to come over with a wooden stick. But when he got closer, all he saw was that the back cover of the road roller next to him wasn't closed.

"Could it be under the carriage?" The night watchman standing outside thought for a moment, then took out his flashlight and shone it under the carriage to take a look.

He's not the only one on duty; if he discovers anything, he can just call out.

"Woof woof woof!" Just as he was about to bend down and shine his flashlight under the car, he heard a dog barking and the sound of a car idling coming from the gate behind him.

"Damn it! Who is it at this hour!" The old night watchman cursed angrily. He swept his flashlight over the three road rollers again, but found nothing wrong and no one in sight. He then turned and strode towards the gate.

Behind the tires, Yu Dawei felt the lights gradually moving away from the road roller and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to ask Lao Ji how things were going up there when he noticed a sticky liquid dripping onto his hand.

Yu Dawei turned his head and saw that Lao Ji was covering his other hand with one hand, and blood was flowing out: "What happened to your hand! When did you get it bleeding?"

"It's alright, boss. Did you accidentally scrape something when you jumped down?" Old Ji hadn't thought much about it, and he even forgot about the pain when someone came to inspect earlier.

Now that he's relaxed, the piercing pain in his palms makes him break out in a cold sweat.

"Let me see." Yu Dawei pried open the other person's palm and found that the entire palm was bright red, clearly indicating a serious injury. "You... hurry up and find something to bandage it."

Neither of them brought a first-aid kit, so Yu Dawei simply ripped off a piece of his underwear and tied it around the other person's hand. As he tied it, he kept complaining, "Looks like you don't do much work at night. I should have just gone upstairs myself."

"That's right, that's right..." Old Ji smiled apologetically, but his helplessness only increased.

Back when I worked at the oil city equipment factory, I always went to work and left work on time. There were times when I would work overtime at night, but those were very rare. This time was nothing like the crazy situation I'm in now.

His heart is still pounding wildly. He felt quite cold when he was fiddling with the car earlier, but now he feels hot all over.

"Has everything been sorted out above?" Yu Dawei asked again. If not, he would have to take matters into his own hands.

"It's all set, except the rear hood wasn't closed properly," Lao Ji replied truthfully.

"Okay, let me put the hood back on, then we'll leave." Yu Dawei didn't dare to delay. After pulling Lao Ji out from under the road roller, he quickly messed up the marks under the vehicle and the bloodstains.

Then he climbed onto the tire and fastened the rear cover tightly: "Let's go quickly, I reckon that big guy will be back in a bit, and he'll probably bring more people with him."

Yu Dawei knew that if someone hadn't come in through the main gate, the other person wouldn't have rushed back. He guessed that the guards at the main gate weren't there either, which is why he went back.

"Okay, here's the tool that the boss dropped." Knowing he hadn't performed well this time, Lao Ji quickly and solicitously picked up the tool that had fallen from the ground and handed it to Yu Dawei.

Yu Dawei took the tools and put them in the toolbox. He quickly led Lao Ji back the way they came. On the way back, he didn't forget to clear the footprints in the snow with tree branches before climbing over the wall again, getting into the car, and leaving the place.

"This time it was a close call, but we'll get back quickly and buy some bandages and medicine. If necessary, I'll take you to the hospital." Yu Dawei glanced at Lao Ji in the passenger seat.

Since it's a work injury, you should at least let the injury on your hand heal properly: "Don't get involved in what happens next. After you've treated your wound, go back to Fanfan's Repair Shop."

"No way! Boss, don't worry, it's just a minor injury. I'll go to the pharmacy tomorrow and buy some anti-inflammatory medicine to apply, and it'll be fine." Old Ji didn't want to be sent back on his first day of work because of such a small matter.

I didn't want to come out before, but now that I'm out, I have to do my job well for the boss.

Besides, if I were to slink back like that, I would definitely leave a bad impression on my boss, and I might not get a promotion or raise in the future.

Yu Dawei didn't see through Lao Ji's intentions, but since the other party was determined to follow him, he had no reason to stop him.

"Now we'll see if our opponent can break our game." Yu Dawei stepped on the gas, and the car sped up.

Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall from the sky. Some streaked past the sides of the car and struck the windshield. As the warm air blew through the glass, they gradually melted into drops of icy water and slid down the wipers.

"Boss, is there anything else we need to prepare?" After all, it was Lao Ji's first time doing something like this, and he was also a little nervous because he had unexpectedly gotten injured.

"No need to do anything, just wait. Take good care of your injury these next two days, eat and drink well." Yu Dawei noticed an oncoming truck and subconsciously turned off his high beams. "Lao Chang will help us put pressure on them. If the plan goes smoothly, we'll be able to meet that Zeng Guangzhi soon."
