I can dream about my own death.

Li Yucheng said excitedly, "I order you to drive ahead immediately! I need to protect 'Autumn on the Frontier'."

Chen Wensheng shook his head: "You saw it yourself, the big truck behind deliberately rammed the rear of the armored escort vehicle. This means that this wasn't an ordinary traffic accident, but a premeditated crime. Call the police!"

"If it weren't for a traffic accident, we would have been even more determined to stop this crime and prevent any damage to the painting 'Autumn in the Frontier'," Li Yucheng said, his emotions running high.

Chen Wensheng shook his head and shouted, "I know you especially like ancient paintings, and I know the significance of that particular painting in your heart, but concern can cloud judgment. Your current thinking is too extreme. What if the robbers in front have guns? If you try to reason with them, they'll just give you peanuts."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Wang Feng reminded them, "The emergency call I made has been connected, so please keep your voices down."

Chen Wensheng and Li Yucheng both shut their mouths.

Wang Feng provided a detailed account of the car accident.

Chen Wensheng rolled down the car window to let some fresh air in.

The moment he rolled down the car window, he smelled a pungent odor of gasoline.

Holy crap!

Chen Wensheng immediately started the engine, put the car in reverse, and kept backing up in the emergency lane.

"Wensheng, what are you doing? You're driving against traffic on Airport North Road. If you get caught on camera, you'll get 12 points deducted and a fine of two thousand yuan." Wang Feng couldn't understand why Chen Wensheng would do this.

"We could smell such a strong gasoline odor from over a hundred meters away, which means that the tanker truck in front of us is leaking oil. If it catches fire, it could cause a violent explosion. I was taking emergency evasive action, so I won't get points deducted," Chen Wensheng said as he reversed his car.

No sooner had Chen Wensheng finished speaking than the tanker truck in front of them caught fire.

The traffic police's retreat reminder has already popped up on the car navigation interface.

Chen Wensheng retreated more than 200 meters before stopping in a completely safe area.

Looking at the billowing smoke rising ahead, Li Yucheng's earlier excitement subsided, and he asked, utterly bewildered, "What on earth is going on?"

"I suspect someone is deliberately trying to destroy this painting," Chen Wensheng replied with a serious expression.

"How is that possible? I could believe you if you said it was stolen, after all, this painting is worth a staggering 1.7 million. But to say it was destroyed is just too outrageous." Wang Feng looked puzzled.

"Nothing is impossible." Chen Wensheng turned to look at Li Yucheng. "You once said something extreme like, 'Even if it means destroying this painting, I don't want it to end up overseas.' And some people might actually have done just that."

"Going to such lengths to destroy a painting, that's not something a normal person would do, is it?" Wang Feng still didn't understand.

"There are actually people in this world who eat shit. There will always be a very small number of extreme people who do things that no one can understand." Chen Wensheng couldn't help but give an extreme example, feeling a bit disgusted with himself.

"This..." Wang Feng didn't know how to respond.

Chen Wensheng continued, "Before today, I hadn't driven for a long time. I wasn't very familiar with the routes, so I checked the navigation every now and then. I didn't see any road construction on this road in the navigation. Those traffic cones blocking the road weren't placed by the road administration department at all. They must have been deliberately placed there by the suspect to stop passing cars."

"Doesn't this constitute highway robbery? How can you say you'd destroy this painting?" Wang Feng was even more puzzled.

"Think about it carefully. This road leads directly to the airport; it's the widest main road with no side streets. This means that even if the robbers manage to steal this painting, they can't take it with them. The police only need to set up a roadblock on this straight road, and they'll be trapped. Where can the robbers run? On foot, trying to escape to either side of the road?"

Chen Wensheng paused briefly, opened a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and then continued, "The security company planned this route after careful consideration. In their eyes, this road to the airport is absolutely safe."

Wang Feng gradually realized what was happening, his eyes widening: "The armored transport vehicle doesn't have any side doors; it can only be opened from the rear. The large truck that rear-ended the armored transport vehicle blocked the rear door. That painting really couldn't be taken out of the armored transport vehicle. Then the tanker truck in front started leaking oil and catching fire."

"Look at that billowing smoke ahead, that security vehicle is probably going to burn to a metal frame. No matter how high the fire resistance rating of the safe is, it can't withstand the baking of hundreds or thousands of degrees. The paintings inside the safe are made of ancient paper, so even if they are of good quality, they will be carbonized and completely destroyed," Chen Wensheng said with a sigh.

"Autumn in the Frontier is ruined! Ruined!" Li Yucheng, in the passenger seat, looked utterly dejected.

Chen Wensheng lamented, "The destruction of the painting 'Autumn in the Frontier,' valued at 1.7 million yuan, is most devastating for the security company. With such a valuable antique, the buyer must have taken out full insurance coverage, so the security company will definitely have to compensate the buyer at the full price."

"That's right!" Wang Feng nodded. "Even if the safe contained a pack of tissues, and it's burned now, we still have to compensate for the full insured value."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wensheng turned to look at Wang Feng.

"Why are you turning your head to look at me?" Wang Feng asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing."

Chen Wensheng considered a possibility: insurance fraud. If the painting in the safe wasn't real, and now that everything was completely destroyed, the insurance company would have to pay the full insured value of 1.7 million yuan.

But this was just his guess. He couldn't say it out loud without evidence. If it were to leak out accidentally, he would be spreading rumors and would be held legally responsible.

At the same time, a terrifying explosion was heard ahead; the oil tanker ahead had exploded violently.

Traffic police arrived at the scene quickly after the accident and directed traffic.

Therefore, in this traffic accident, only three vehicles were burned, and the rest of the vehicles were evacuated to a safe distance.

Even the drivers and security personnel of the armed escort vehicle were all safely rescued and transferred to a safe area.

Only a few people who liked to join in the fun stood forty or fifty meters away watching the show, mistakenly thinking that this was a safe distance, and were then injured or killed by the violent explosion.

If Chen Wensheng hadn't driven far away from the accident scene, Li Yucheng, with his love for ancient paintings, would definitely have been up close to "watch the show," and the three of them would have been killed in the accidental explosion.

Due to a traffic accident, the road is blocked, and fire trucks have not yet been able to reach the scene to put out the fire.

The antiques being transported in the armored escort vehicles were extremely valuable, and the drivers of all three vehicles were taken into custody by the police.
