Qin Chuan was driving and calling Feng Lei, but no one answered after the phone rang for a long time, which made him even more anxious, wishing he could stomp the accelerator to the floor.
The Santana's speed surged to its limit, kicking up a long trail of dust behind it, imposing and magnificent.
"Boss! Slow down! Slow down!"
"No matter how urgent the matter, you have to take care of your own safety. If we flip over, then everything will really be over!"
Everyone in the car was startled and spoke up to comfort him.
Qin Chuan finally calmed down a bit, and the speed of the car slowed down slightly, which made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
"Boss, what exactly happened? What are we going to Ning County for?"
Yao Dong asked.
Since things had come to this, Qin Chuan no longer concealed it and briefly explained everything he had arranged the previous night.
"Damn it, after all the calculations, I didn't expect that old fox to be so meticulous, even sending people to the roads in Ning County! Damn it!!"
Qin Chuan was so angry that he slammed the steering wheel hard, gritting his teeth.
This time, it was indeed his negligence. If he had been a little more careful and arranged for people to meet him in Ning County early in the morning, things wouldn't have become so bad.
In the car, Yao Dong and the other four looked at each other after listening, not knowing what to say.
Such meticulous calculations and detailed arrangements were truly eye-opening. As expected of Han Shifei, he was indeed difficult to deal with.
However, seeing their boss so angry, they could only join in cursing Han Shifei for being insidious and condemn Han Shifei's cunning schemes.
At this moment, the phone rang, and Qin Chuan quickly picked up his phone, only to find it was the driver Feng Lei calling.
"Boss Qin, it's over, it's all over!!"
As soon as the call was connected, Feng Lei's crying voice came through.
"What's the situation over there? Tell me quickly!"
Qin Chuan tried to calm himself down as much as possible.
"Boss Qin, my car... they smashed my car, all the tires were cut, and I was beaten too!"
Feng Lei cried out loudly, and one could imagine what his expression was like at the moment.
Qin Chuan's eyebrows twitched violently, and he felt a surge of violent energy from his chest and abdomen straight to his forehead.
"Where's the cargo?"
"And where are those people now?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"The cargo is still there, but those people ran away after the police arrived!"
Feng Lei said.
Qin Chuan's tensed heart relaxed a little. So it was the police from Ning County who arrived, which proved that the报警 had played a big role.
No matter how powerful Han Shifei was, he couldn't cover Ning County.
Now that only Feng Lei was beaten and the tires were damaged, everything was still within acceptable limits.
"Feng Lei, don't worry, I'm on my way to Ning County now, and I'll be there in about half an hour!"
"Don't worry, all your losses will be compensated by me."
More than half an hour later, Qin Chuan arrived at the intersection where the incident occurred.
It had already been cordoned off, with police cars flashing their lights, and a crowd of onlookers gathered around.
And in the center of the cordon, a light truck was parked by the roadside, with one of its windows shattered.
Upon closer inspection, it was found that the two front tires of the light truck had been cut with sharp knives, and there were many traces of damage on the row of rear tires. With such damage, it was obvious that the vehicle could no longer be driven and the tires had to be replaced.
"Who are you people? Who let you in?"
A policeman noticed Qin Chuan and his group and immediately frowned and reprimanded them.
Qin Chuan stopped and explained his identity.
"He's the boss, the boss for whom I'm delivering goods to Yongnan County this time!"
Feng Lei, who was squatting by the roadside smoking, turned around when he heard the commotion. Seeing that it was Qin Chuan, his expression became extremely excited, and he shouted loudly.
Qin Chuan finally saw Feng Lei and noticed that Feng Lei had indeed been beaten. There were clear slap marks on his face, and his nostrils were stuffed with tissues, with bloodstains.
There were also footprints on many parts of his body, and he looked extremely dishevelled.
"Feng Lei, I'm sorry! I've caused you trouble this time!"
Qin Chuan walked over, his face full of apology.
Hearing Qin Chuan's apology, Feng Lei showed a bitter and helpless expression. He didn't know how to describe his current feelings and began to recount the entire incident to Qin Chuan.
From leaving the provincial capital to exiting the highway, everything was fine until entering Ning County.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave Ning County and enter Yongnan County at a fork in the road, he was stopped halfway. They insisted on checking what kind of goods he was carrying, and he couldn't refuse, as they were extremely arrogant and overbearing.
Having no choice, he told them that he was carrying some fruits and vegetables.
Unexpectedly, this answer alone caused trouble. The group of people immediately became fierce and menacing, questioning if he was delivering to the newly opened Meitehao supermarket in Yongnan County.
Hearing the name of the supermarket, Feng Lei also panicked, knowing that these people were likely the ones who forced Qin Chuan to divert his route.
What happened next was simple. The group smashed the window, forced him to get out of the car and open the cargo compartment. While they were in the car, Feng Lei called Qin Chuan and, following Qin Chuan's instructions, quickly called the police.
He was also very clever, knowing that it would be bad if he got out of the car, so he stayed in the car to delay time as much as possible.
The people outside knew he had called the police and became obviously anxious. They immediately took out the sharp tools they carried and damaged the car tires.
At the same time, someone smashed the car window, forced open the door, dragged him out of the car, and beat him severely, threatening to beat him again if he dared to deliver goods to the Meitehao supermarket in Yongnan County again!
Fortunately for Feng Lei, the police in Ning County responded quickly. While he was being beaten, police sirens could already be heard from a distance, scaring the group into fleeing in a panic.
They didn't even have time to damage the goods in the car!
"Which direction did those people run?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"In the direction of your Yongnan County!"
Feng Lei pointed.
"That's not right. We just came from that direction, and we didn't encounter any vehicles along the way. What kind of car were they driving?" Yao Dong frowned.
"A pickup truck!"
Feng Lei replied.
"There's another possibility. This group of people didn't go directly back to our Yongnan County, but chose to stop temporarily at a remote mountain area, trying to probe the situation here."
Qin Chuan analyzed calmly.
His words made the eyes of the two policemen standing nearby light up.
"So, those people are likely in this vicinity and haven't fled back to your Yongnan County?"
A middle-aged policeman in his forties had sharp eyes.
"Yes, this possibility is very high!"
Qin Chuan nodded. "Officer, to be honest, the reason for today's incident is that I and their boss are sworn enemies, and we often compete with each other."
"Based on my understanding of their boss, the other party must have given a strict order to their subordinates, making them constantly monitor our movements!"
The two policemen looked at each other, a hint of hesitation in their eyes, as if they were considering whether to inform the bureau to send more personnel to arrest those people.
If they caught them, it would be their credit!
