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

Chapter 572 Searching for Fang Jing's Warehouse, He Youquan's Good Fortune
The others were also eyeing Fang Jing with predatory intent.

"Brothers, that's all Yu Dawei's scheming! He just can't stand us uniting against outsiders. Didn't you hear what President Li said? He hasn't even decided who to cooperate with yet!" Fang Jing had no choice but to explain patiently. "If you don't believe me, you can call President Li over for a face-to-face confrontation."

"Mr. Fang is right, I haven't made a decision yet. Everyone, please don't be nervous and let's not hurt our harmony." Li Fubao quickly ran over to smooth things over.

Seeing Li Fubao's words, the crowd, though suspicious, did not go too far.

However, for the rest of the time, Li Fubao sat next to Fang Jing and chatted about all sorts of things, even laughing out loud when he got excited.

At this point, even a fool could see something was going on. Some people couldn't help but approach Li Fubao and pull him aside to try and build a relationship with him. Soon, a steady stream of people were trying to win Li Fubao over.

Fang Jing himself was quite helpless. Although he knew he had become the target of everyone's criticism, Li Fubao had taken the initiative to talk to him for a while, so he couldn't just send him away, since the big order was still in Li Fubao's hands.

When Fang Jing saw that the pockmarked man and the others were also whispering to Li Fubao, he couldn't sit still any longer and took Qin Yourong with him and went over.

Some of the smaller channels knew they had no chance, so they stopped wasting time, said goodbye to Li Fubao, and chose to leave.

Zhang Baiwan was the same; he had no intention of cooperating with Li Fubao, nor could he. He was just running a parts store and doing some small business.

"I hope everything goes well for Yu Dawei." Before leaving, Zhang Baiwan glanced at Li Fubao and the others, knowing that Yu Dawei was about to do something very important.

He could guess some of it, but he didn't delve into it in front of Yu Dawei. It's better not to ask questions unless someone brings it up themselves.

Late at night, Yu Dawei and three others drove towards the oil city of Sa District. There were few cars on the road, and Yu Dawei stepped on the gas and drove up to 110 miles per hour.

The Jeep had two more cylinders than the Fiat, essentially replacing the old donkey with a steed that could travel a thousand miles a day. Plus, Yu Dawei was a master at driving horses, so the car sped along the dark road like a black lightning bolt rushing into the distance.

"What time is it?" Yu Dawei suddenly asked in the quiet car.

From the moment Yu Dawei started driving until now, none of the three people in the car dared to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Yu Dawei's driving and accidentally flying off the planet.

"Let me see." Duan Dahai in the back seat picked up his phone and glanced at it: "8:15, we'll make it in time. I think Li Fubao is pretty good at bluffing, he can definitely give us a lot of time."

“I’m not worried about Brother Li. My main concern is that He Youquan might leave Fang Jing’s warehouse ahead of time.” Yu Dawei wanted to catch He Youquan and force him to tell the truth so that he could record an audio recording, which would give him another bargaining chip.

"There's still time, there's still time," Duan Dahai advised cautiously.

However, Yu Dawei did not stop and continued to speed away recklessly. A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in a suburban area on North Sa District Road.

In the distance, there are some newly built high-rise buildings, but they haven't been topped out yet. Heading south from the intersection in the distance is the city center of Sa District, where the Taishang Department Store, computer mall, and clothing street are all located.

Yu Dawei remembered that a primary school would be built in this suburb later. However, this place was considered an old area compared to the oil city. Even if new houses were built, it would not be as prosperous as the development zone. In any case, investing in this land would not result in a loss, but it would definitely not be as profitable as his second uncle's firm control of the development zone.

“Let’s go. Brother Chen told me the warehouse is not far from the intersection of Sa District North Road.” Yu Dawei was the first to get out of the car, turned around and went to the trunk, where he took out a camera and a silver-white voice recorder, about the size of a mobile phone.

This voice recorder was brought back from abroad by Xiaobai by Yu Dawei a few days ago. In fact, similar digital products have appeared in China in the past two years, but they are ridiculously expensive.

Xiao Bai happened to be going on a trip abroad, so Yu Dawei asked him for help. With this, he wouldn't need to carry a recorder anymore.

"Let's go." Yu Dawei closed the trunk.

"Aren't you going to take any tools?" After getting out of the car, Boss Liang glanced at the surrounding wasteland and looked up at Yu Dawei with some nervousness.

“There’s no need for that now. If we run into He Youquan alone, Axe and I will take care of him.” Yu Dawei said as he walked forward. “Our main purpose is to collect evidence of the other party’s counterfeit parts. I’ve already spoken with Director Hao before coming here, and he will be here soon.”

"Alright then." Although Boss Liang agreed to Yu Dawei's request, he still picked up the small hammer at his feet.

He knew there weren't many people on the night shift, but he always wanted to be safe and have some insurance.

Duan Dahai glanced at Boss Liang with disdain. What a coward! He wondered how Li Fubao had the nerve to say that Boss Liang always stood up for him when he was bullied.

The three of them walked through a five-story building that was not yet completed, then through a neat grove of trees, and finally saw a walled compound in the distance.

The wall was made of red bricks, and two huge warehouses could be vaguely seen in the distance from inside the yard. Just by looking at them, you could tell that they were much larger than Boss Liang's.

"What do you mean?" Yu Dawei led his men to the base of the wall, pointing with his thumb to the low wall behind him. "It's over a meter high, you should be able to climb over it, right?"

"No problem." Yao Jinfu was the first to go. He was already quite tall, and with his long arms and legs, he didn't need a running start. He jumped, placed one foot on the wall, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and flipped over to get over.

Seeing how swiftly the axe moved, Yu Dawei was not to be outdone. He did the same, grabbing the wall with both hands in an instant, and then flipping over.

"Come on, it's my turn." When it was Duan Dahai's turn, he first pushed Boss Liang aside, then took four or five steps back, took a running start, used the momentum to quickly push off the wall with both feet, then grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and with a sudden burst of strength, he flipped over and jumped over the wall into the courtyard.

The three of them jumped over in less than half a minute, leaving Boss Liang alone staring blankly at the wall that was even taller than him.

"Should I not have come at all?" Boss Liang expressed deep despair about his physical condition.

"Give me a hand..." Boss Liang approached the base of the wall, seeking help from inside.

With two sharp "snap" sounds, Yu Dawei and Yao Jinfu straddled the wall again in the darkness, both reaching out to Boss Liang. "Old Liang, hurry up!" Yu Dawei glanced around, noticing that the warehouse remained dark, before reassuringly urging Boss Liang on.

"Alright! Here it comes!" Boss Liang also became fierce. He retreated about ten meters, then ran quickly. Then, he lost his footing and with a "thud," he crashed perfectly into the wall.

Yu Dawei: "..."

Yao Jinfu: "..."

"Why don't you just put your hand up here?" Yao Jinfu whispered a suggestion from his perch on the wall.

Although Boss Liang is not tall, the wall is not high either; two people could easily grab him by reaching out.

"Uh, okay!" Boss Liang awkwardly rubbed his nose, stretched out his hands, and Yu Dawei and Yao Jinfu pulled him into the wall like they were dragging a pig.

"Hey hey hey? My hammer, I left my hammer outside."

"What are you thinking about now? Hurry up and get down there."

After putting down Boss Liang, Yu Dawei and Yao Jinfu jumped down from the wall. The surroundings returned to silence. The good news was that there seemed to be no one in the courtyard.

“Dawei, something seems off.” Duan Dahai pointed to the rows of low bungalows in the distance. “Those houses over there seem to be inhabited. I just saw someone turn on the lights in one of the houses.”

“It’s alright. Chen Qing said this courtyard is a shared courtyard. Many of the houses inside are not rented by one person. There are several more rows further in. Some of them are occupied by migrant workers who work next door.” Yu Dawei stood up and explained, “The gate here closes at a fixed time every night. If we had arrived before 8:30, we wouldn’t have needed to go through all this trouble to climb in.”

The other three then realized why Yu Dawei had rushed over so urgently; it seemed he still hadn't made it in time.

"Let's go, hurry up and check over at the warehouse." Yu Dawei led the group toward the warehouse, reminding them along the way not to act like thieves, but to just walk over openly. If they were questioned, they should just say they were doing construction next door.

As the group drew closer, they discovered that there were not two of these large warehouses, but six in total, all standing side by side from east to west, with a semi-circular roof on top—not the kind made of corrugated steel, but genuine reinforced concrete.

"This huge warehouse alone is worth a lot of money," Boss Liang thought as he walked.

"Damn it, so many warehouses, which one belongs to Fang Jing? It can't all of them, right? These warehouses all look like they belong to the government, but it seems like some of them have been sold." Duan Dahai thought to himself as he stood in front of Warehouse No. 2.

"This guy is really bold, daring to put counterfeit goods next to the government buildings." Yu Dawei glanced at the other large warehouses, some of which had red slogans that were still clearly visible in the moonlight, indicating that they were undoubtedly government-owned. According to his speculation, this place was likely a grain reserve warehouse or something similar in the past.

"Let's go, let's look around first. Since Fang Jing dared to put the parts here, he must have disguised them very well." After Yu Dawei finished speaking, he led the group around to the back of the warehouse and began to search.

When the group arrived at the back of the warehouse, they discovered that there was another large gate on the north side of the warehouse. It didn't seem to be an original gate; it was probably a gate that was installed later to facilitate the transport of goods to and from the warehouse.

The main gate was less than 20 meters away from Warehouse No. 4 directly opposite. Yu Dawei stood in the direction of the main gate and turned to look at Warehouse No. 4 directly opposite.

Duan Dahai followed Yu Dawei's gaze and looked over. The two of them saw almost simultaneously a vertical wooden plaque hanging on the wall next to the large iron door of Warehouse No. 4.

"Let's go take a look." Yu Dawei called the group to the front of Warehouse No. 4. They looked up and sure enough, it read in black letters on a white background: Youcheng Maoyu Business Co., Ltd.

“It seems this is Fangjing’s warehouse.” Yu Dawei said with great certainty. “Brother Chen mentioned Fangjing’s company name before, and there’s also a branch in the auto parts market.”

"We found one, but we don't know if the other one is number three or number five." Duan Dahai put his hands on his hips, glanced at the two warehouses on either side, and didn't find anything special.

"Someone's coming." Just then, Yao Jinfu turned his head to the right and his gaze lingered on the distance.

"Hide next to Warehouse No. 4!" Yu Dawei said to the group, then quickly ran along the road to the base of the wall next to Warehouse No. 4.

Just as the group had hidden themselves, a man carrying a baton ran over, his eyes scanning the shadows next to Warehouse Number Four as he roared, "Who?! Who the hell is there? Get out here right now!"

He Youquan felt a little nervous at this moment, but when he thought that the thirty or forty people in the courtyard were all his brothers, he was no longer afraid of these few worthless people.

The story begins a few minutes earlier. Normally, he would have been preparing to go home before locking the door at 8:30.

But today, by sheer coincidence, his stomach was upset, and he went to the toilet repeatedly. He probably had something to do with the fake alcohol he drank tonight. He already has a stomach problem that even traditional Chinese medicine can't cure.

Unexpectedly, just as I came out of the outhouse, I saw several dark figures climb over the wall and then swagger over to the warehouse.

At first, he thought it was one of the brothers who came back late and was afraid that Boss Fang would scold them. However, these guys did not seem to be heading back to the dormitory. Instead, they went around the warehouse and came to the back.

He Youquan immediately realized something was wrong. Without even calling for help, he quickly returned to his office, grabbed a baton, and ran out.

Just as he had predicted, these people were after their warehouse.

Thank goodness! Thank goodness I, the warehouse keeper, wasn't in a hurry to go home tonight, and thank goodness I've listened to Manager Qin's advice these past few days and have been very vigilant about the warehouse.

If these petty thieves really succeed today, wouldn't the second batch of parts that were just finished be stolen in the middle of the night?
"You guys are really bold, stealing things all the way here!" He Youquan guessed that the guys hiding in the shadows must have come to scout the place first.

Later that night, the group would drive up and park the car not far from the gate. Then they would break in and pick the lock to steal things!

"Get out here! If you don't get out here, I'll call for help!" He Youquan was nervous but also excited. He had done a great job this time and would surely be rewarded by both General Manager Fang and Manager Qin!
"Get out here right now!" He Youquan's voice grew louder and louder, and his courage grew with his voice as he walked step by step into the shadows next to Warehouse No. 4!
