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

Chapter 605 Solution
After hanging up the phone, Lao Zhu drove his car to the front of the truck and parked it near the roadside. He noticed two other cars parked not far away, probably belonging to people who had kindly stopped to help after witnessing the accident.

"Get out of the car and put on your clothes so you don't catch a cold." Yu Dawei got out of the car first, put on his dog-skin hat. The snow covered the whole world, and everything was white from near to far. The cold wind blew across his face, like thousands of steel needles pricking his face, which hurt terribly.

Yu Dawei and Lao Zhu didn't rush to get their tools. Repairing the car was secondary; they needed to see how the people inside were doing and whether they could be rescued!

As they drew closer, a young man in his early twenties ran up to Yu Dawei and his companions. Despite the freezing weather, he wore only a thin coat, his face still glistening with unfrozen sweat, and there were congealed scabs on his arms and bloodstains on his face, making him look rather eerie.

"Is it a wilderness rescue operation?" the young man asked Yu Dawei hopefully.

"Yes, you're a truck driver?" Yu Dawei asked as he walked toward the crushed car, glancing at the young man every now and then.

The young man also seemed to have suffered some minor injuries, but he hadn't been bandaged at all, probably because he didn't have time to take care of them. His situation might be more serious than Yu Dawei had imagined.

"Yes, that's me." The young man's hands were tightly gripping a black crowbar less than a meter long, and his worn cotton gloves had holes in two fingers. "There are still people trapped inside the car. Do you have any tools to get them out?"

"Let's take a look first." Yu Dawei glanced at the large trailer and saw that the scattered pieces were hollow square steel bars, but the quantity was too large. He roughly estimated that it was at least twenty or thirty tons, and considering that the trailer usually carries a lot of steel bars, it was at least thirty tons.

As he got closer, Yu Dawei could see clearly that the black sedan was a Land Cruiser from the island nation. The hood and the double-row front cab were all crushed, and red and white liquid was flowing out from the squeezed and deformed door seams, which had already been covered by a thin layer of snow.

Right now, everyone is doing their best to save an elderly person and a child in the back row.

Compared to the complete flattening of the front row, although the roof of the rear row was also squeezed and deformed, there was still some space. Although a lot of steel was on it, a large part of the pressure was diverted to the front row.

This also gave the people in the back a chance to catch their breath.

Through the small opening in the broken glass window, Yu Dawei saw an elderly woman with half-white hair shielding a teenage girl beneath her. The old woman's back and chest had been grazed by a piece of steel that had fallen from the roof of the car, and blood was flowing continuously.

Someone pried open a gap and stuffed a piece of clothing into the bleeding area below the old man's back and above his waist, but the situation was still not optimistic.

The scattered steel bars are pressing down on the vehicle, posing a risk of secondary collapse at any time.

"Didn't you call a construction vehicle?" Yu Dawei turned to the young man and asked, "Where's your driver?"

Normally, young people like this can't be left to their own devices; they all need to be taught by an experienced mentor. But what the young man said next made Yu Dawei frown even more.

"My master, my master ran away..." The young man hung his head, looking very unwell.

Yu Dawei didn't say anything more, and directly dialed Yao Jinfu's number again, asking him to get an excavator from the market and to inform Tang Chao as well.

When they heard that Tang Chao said there was no work, they also asked him to drive the crane to the highway side.

While making the phone call, Yu Dawei also instructed Lao Zhu to bring jacks, crowbars, and other tools to begin the rescue.

Currently, without any construction vehicles available, Yu Dawei reminded Lao Zhu not to move around unnecessarily and to leave enough space for the children and the elderly.

We'll talk about everything once the excavator brings it over.

In addition, Yu Dawei also called the relevant traffic police, saying that field rescue alone is not enough for this kind of thing; such a big incident requires the help of the authorities.

After making almost all the necessary phone calls, Yu Dawei then joined the rescue efforts.

As things stand, with the large semi-trailer overturning, the black SUV next to it probably didn't have time to slow down and crashed directly into the side of the semi-trailer. Under the strong impact of the car, the semi-trailer, which was already on the verge of overturning, completely lost its center of gravity and crashed down.

Wearing cotton gloves and holding a crowbar, Yu Dawei, along with everyone else, gently pried open the gaps inside the car to ensure that the two people inside had room to breathe.

There were two or three men nearby, who were obviously just passing by to help. They were all holding crowbars and anxiously trying to pry it open, but they didn't dare to pry it too deep, for fear that if the fulcrum was broken, the steel would crush the grandfather and grandson.

"Dude, don't just mess with the back seat, check the driver's seat too, see if he's still alive." A burly man from Shandong wearing a black down jacket pointed to the driver's seat. "Before you guys came, I saw that the guy in the driver's seat seemed to move his hand, but this little crowbar can't pry it open at all!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Dawei and Lao Zhu carefully squeezed through the crevice and glanced at the man.

Fearing danger, Lao Zhu advised Yu Dawei to stand outside, but Yu Dawei lay down on the snow and crawled little by little to the vicinity of the driver's seat.

The truck bed was very close to the ground, so the space was extremely cramped. Fortunately, although Lao Zhu was fat, he was exceptionally agile and could see the driver's condition through the gaps.

But after Old Zhu came out, he immediately started vomiting in a secluded spot, unable to stop himself from vomiting, and brought up all the thin porridge he had drunk that morning.

Seeing this scene, the group of people probably guessed what had happened.

The burly Shandong man who had spoken earlier sighed. There was nothing they could do at the moment; they could only wait for the construction vehicles and officials from the relevant departments to arrive.

The man moved a little further away from the truck and found a spot sheltered from the wind at the front of the truck to light a cigarette.

He saw Yu Dawei and the pale-faced Old Zhu also come over, and offered him a cigarette.

The other two drivers, seeing they couldn't help, had already driven away, but the man was prepared to wait a little longer. He wasn't far from home anyway, and he wasn't in a hurry.

"What a mess this is! The little guy's driver even ran away. If the driver behind him gets caught, he'll definitely be in jail." Old Zhu took a drag of his cigarette and couldn't help but sigh.

In today's society, technology is not advanced enough, so catching people is relatively difficult. If the other party really doesn't want you to catch them, they can just run away to some remote mountain valley, and you won't be able to catch them.

"Heh, what did that young man tell you?" The burly man couldn't help but grin after hearing Old Zhu's words. Then, he quietly extended the two fingers holding his cigarette and pointed towards the cab of the large truck behind him. "Take a good look. Does the cab look like it's being driven by two people?"

Following the other person's finger, Yu Dawei looked into the driver's seat and found that the passenger seat was piled with garbage. If there were someone in the passenger seat, there would be no way so much garbage there.

Old Zhu saw it too, but didn't offer any advice. He quickly looked away, appearing nonchalant, and muttered under his breath, "This young man is really not cut out for lying." "Sigh, he's probably just scared," the burly Shandong man said in heavily accented Mandarin, his hand still busy smoking.

Yu Dawei turned his gaze to the young man, watching him shiver in the cold wind, and seemed to have a complicated feeling about him.

At only twenty years old, even though he was working as a driver, he was bound to get into trouble for something else besides this, since it was clearly due to improper operation when turning.

Given such fear, Yu Dawei could somewhat understand what might happen.

He wanted to distance himself from the situation, but that was absolutely impossible. Nobody's a fool, and this young man was just deceiving himself.

Yu Dawei saw a military overcoat in the driver's compartment of the truck, opened the door, took it out, and handed it to the young man. He then took him to his own van and gave him a quick bandage for his wound.

According to Yu Dawei's regulations, there is a small first-aid kit, about 20 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide, under the passenger's feet in the van. It contains gauze, medicine for sprains and bruises, and medication for heart disease.

Perhaps it was because the young man felt Yu Dawei's care, or perhaps it was because the temperature inside the van was too warm, but he could no longer control himself and began to cry bitterly, confessing everything.

His master didn't come this time, and instead let him take a short trip from Harbin by himself. He thought it was a piece of cake, but he ended up overturning because of the slippery road. A car happened to be passing by at that moment and crushed him.

When he got out of the car and saw the scene of the car being smashed, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground trembling and couldn't recover.

He also heard the old man's cries for help and the child's crying. He was terrified, he was scared, and he was really at a loss.

Fortunately, the burly man from Shandong arrived shortly afterward, followed by two more people who began to assist in the rescue.

After all that effort, at least some space was created between the rear seats and the outside, and the space was stabilized to prevent further collapse.

After hearing this, Yu Dawei was at a loss. The deed was done, so he could only offer a few words of comfort to the young man and give him some advice.

The two then got out of the car. At this time, Lao Zhu and his men had already placed the reflective traffic cones at the back, waiting for the construction vehicle to arrive.

About twenty minutes later, Tang Chao, who was driving a crane, arrived first, followed by a flatbed truck towing an excavator. Only then did the rescue officially begin.

Rescuing the elderly and children was extremely difficult, as there were at least several tons of steel piled on top of them at an angle. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that a piece of iron had been inserted into the elderly man's body, which was connected to the car.

Yu Dawei could only coordinate the crane and the excavator driven by the axe. At this time, the traffic police also arrived and joined the rescue process.

While learning about the situation, they also helped Yu Dawei to direct the rescue more meticulously.

Axe's excavator driving skills are absolutely amazing; he can perfectly move to whichever point Yu Dawei directs him.

The roof of the car is off-limits, but now it's connected to the old lady inside.

The only option is to move the steel bars one by one first, and then have the excavator and crane work together to push the overturned trailer away or to put it back up.

As a result, the road was too slippery, and with the added snow, they had to work together to push the overturned truck away.

With the roof loosened, rescue becomes incredibly convenient.

The traffic police also brought people from the hospital with them this time, and they worked together to carry out the rescue.

"No! Don't move the back door! The metal piece is stuck in the old man's back and abdomen. If you pull it out, he'll die!" A young male doctor among the medical staff shouted at the rescue team.

"Angle grinder! Or a cutting machine! We must cut off this connecting piece of iron first!" the doctor suggested.

The traffic police brought their tools, but not an angle grinder, because even if they had brought one, they wouldn't be able to use it.

“I have some, we have some here!” Yu Dawei raised his hand and then called out, “Old Zhu.”

Old Zhu understood immediately. He started by unloading the small diesel generator from the van, connecting it to a power strip, and finally plugging in an angle grinder. He then began slowly cutting the metal pieces inside the van.

Several people held the iron sheet that was stuck from the ceiling to the old lady's back, while Yu Dawei personally went up and squatted down to cut the narrowest part of the iron sheet.

After less than half an hour, Yu Dawei finally managed to slowly and successfully remove the metal sheet, after which everyone was able to rescue the elderly and children from the car.

The child was alright; she was a teenage girl with short hair, half of which was stained red with blood and scabbed over. Because she was well protected, only her buttocks and legs were injured, and they looked like they were fractured.

However, it's not a big problem, it's just that his mental state is very bad. He seems to have gone mad, staring at a certain direction with his head down, not moving at all.

Yu Dawei guessed that it must have triggered some kind of stress response, but everyone's stress response to this situation is different. Fortunately, the girl survived.

However, the condition of the elderly man who was carried onto the stretcher was clearly not optimistic. Previously, only his back was visible and he hadn't noticed anything, but now that he looked at his front, it was covered in blood. The elderly man had gone into shock three more times while Yu Dawei was cutting the iron sheet with the angle grinder.

However, the old man was still conscious. As he was being put into the ambulance, his eyes were fixed on Yu Dawei, looking at him again and again, as if he wanted to say something, but he seemed unable to say anything.

After that, Yu Dawei and others began to busy themselves with solving the problems of the large trailer and the cars.

When the traffic police learned that Yu Dawei was involved in wilderness rescue, they were quite happy, since it was thanks to Yu Dawei and his team that they were able to bring in an engineering vehicle, which made the rescue mission much easier.

However, the current situation is special. After the male and female bodies in the front row of the Land Cruiser were removed, the vehicle was also towed away by the traffic police. In addition, the driver of the large truck also left with them.

However, after being persuaded by Yu Dawei, they agreed to repair the truck before taking it away. Firstly, it was simply unrealistic to haul such a large semi-trailer without repairing it. Secondly, the officials knew that Yu Dawei and his team had worked hard, so they should be allowed to make some money.
