Chapter 372 Surely not!
As soon as I entered Zhongkeng Town, the phone rang.
"Hey, second brother, what's up?"
"Um, Director Ding asked me to come out and greet you. The road into the village is difficult to drive on, so please drive slowly. I just came from the village committee."
"Hehe, okay."
David felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
I didn't think about these issues when I left home.
As the car drove out of the county town, Dawei realized that there was a really difficult section of the road to Zhonghai Village.
The road surface was a dirt road, with some sand laid on it to increase friction.
However, after a period of time, the sand will be crushed by the tires and pushed to the sides of the road, leaving the middle of the road as a smooth, muddy path.
It gets very slippery when it rains, and accidents often happen.
Furthermore, the dirt road has many potholes and numerous bends.
As it was getting dark and they were about to drive into the village, Dawei was genuinely worried.
The worst thing is encountering oncoming traffic. Passing oncoming traffic is difficult, and if you're not careful, you can easily overturn into the roadside ditch.
Tingting is so thoughtful and considerate.
David lit a cigarette, rolled down the car window, and drove slowly.
That big banyan tree in front marks the boundary of Zhonghai Village.
David turned on the high beams.
Suddenly a car appeared at the bend ahead, flashing its lights rapidly at Dawei.
David quickly switched the high beams to low beams.
The car on the other side seemed a bit angry. It was a silver van with modified headlights. When Dawei turned off the high beams, the other car didn't give up and turned on its own high beams.
The other car is higher.
The lights have been modified.
The lights were so bright that they made David's eyes blur.
I immediately braked and stopped the car, shielding my eyes with my hand.
A van coming from the opposite direction almost collided with David's Passat, and the van slammed on the brakes.
A tall young man got out of the driver's seat. David couldn't see the man's face clearly, only that he had a buzz cut.
The man started cursing as soon as he got out of the car.
"Fuck your mother!"
Can you drive?
You're using your high beams on the village road.
As I turned the corner, the headlights were so bright that I couldn't see the road and almost drove into a ditch.
Damn it!
So you're the only one with high beams?
"I'll teach you a lesson about high beams, you son of a bitch!"
The other person cursed as they walked towards Dawei, and even patted the front of Dawei's car as they passed it.
David was smoking with his hand out the window; it seemed he was experiencing road rage.
He is under the leadership of the Party, so he can't afford to fall out with the people; he has to maintain a certain demeanor.
He was indeed wrong just now. Because there were no streetlights and it was dark everywhere, Dawei was not very brave to drive, so he turned on the high beams to feel safer.
He picked up a red five-leaf sachets from the passenger seat, took one out, and was about to hand it out through the driver's window, wanting to have a proper talk with someone.
"It's hard to say. I'm not familiar with the road conditions. Seeing that there weren't many people on the road, I turned on my high beams."
I'm so sorry.
Please don't hold it against me.
"Here, have a cigarette..."
David chuckled, poked half his head out, and offered a cigarette to the newcomer.
The man had already reached the left side of the car and was just two steps away from David.
From this angle, David could see the other person's face clearly. The facial features were very defined, the person was very thin, and the eyes were cold and sinister.
It gives off a creepy feeling at first glance.
I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong, but I just feel like this guy has a ruthless streak.
David became alert and quickly scanned the other person up and down.
The man's right hand was now at his lower back, a vicious look on his face: "Who wants your crappy cigarettes!"
The person was still a step or so away when Dawei quickly ducked his head into the car and frantically pounded on the door handle with his left hand.
The car window slowly rolled up.
At that moment, David hated the car window.
The motor pushes the car window up, making a hissing sound; it's going to rise too slowly.
Seeing that Dawei was on guard, the man pulled out the dagger he had hidden behind his back.
The true intentions have been revealed.
It was a black steel knife, about ten centimeters long.
The blade is very thick, and it looks very powerful.
David pulled the window up button hard, and the car window was only halfway up.
The man with the buzz cut had already reached the car and was about to stab it into the vehicle with a dagger in his right hand.
"It can't be that bad!" David shouted as he dodged to the right.
The first slash missed, so the man turned the blade around, changing the thrust to a horizontal slash, aiming to stab Dawei in the chest.
David then realized that this was not ordinary road rage, but murder.
Dawei, who was in the driver's seat, was wearing a seatbelt and couldn't get off. In a panic, he grabbed the assailant's wrist holding the knife with his right hand and pushed it towards the windshield.
At the same time, David continued to press the window up and down buttons, and the car window rose up, lifting the man's arm.
In this way, with the man's arm trapped in the glass and pressed against the car door frame, the man with the knife would have less leverage.
When the car window wouldn't roll up, Dawei grabbed the man's arms with both hands and pushed him forward.
When the man saw that the attempt to cut across had failed, he withdrew his arm.
This is troublesome. It's easy to push his hand away, but if he tries to pull his hand away, Dawei can't hold on.
I had no choice but to let go, otherwise I would have been cut by the knife.
As I let go, I unbuckled my seatbelt.
Seeing this, the assailant outside the car withdrew his hand and did not continue stabbing. Instead, he reached down and opened the driver's side door from inside the car.
When Dawei realized he was in deep trouble, he somehow mustered the courage to kick the car door hard.
The immense impact caused the man with the buzz cut outside the car to stumble.
David ducked out of the car and ran away.
While running, he thought about which direction to go, and in a flash, he thought of heading towards Zhonghai Village. If that were the case, the man would have to turn around if he wanted to chase him by car, and it's not easy to turn around on this narrow road.
The man with the buzz cut had his arm caught in the car window. It took him a while to free his arm, and then he chased after Dawei with a knife in hand.
Dawei ran desperately toward the main road ahead.
Suddenly a black car appeared in front of us; upon closer inspection, it was a vehicle from the county.
It's Lin Yunxing.
David waved as he ran.
The crew-cut man chasing behind, unaware of who was inside the car, didn't care. He was only focused on killing Dawei and continued the chase with his knife in hand.
The driver in front was Lin Yunxing.
Seeing Dawei being chased, Lin Yunxing immediately tensed up and, on a whim, turned on his right turn signal.
David, in perfect unison, immediately jumped toward the drainage ditch on the right upon seeing this.
Lin Yunxing stepped on the gas and accelerated.
They crashed into the thugs who were chasing them.
Bang!
A muffled thud.
