Substitute Driver's Notes

Chapter 17 Crisis Moment

After muttering a few words, Qian Zhanan peeked out and suddenly his expression changed as several police cars sped towards them from a distance.

Ignoring Lu Jingjing, he stepped on the gas, and the multi-million dollar car was indeed powerful, disappearing in a flash.

Lu Jingjing called out a few times, then turned around and saw that Qian Zhaonan's car was gone, and immediately panicked.

She instinctively ran towards Li Wei, but the three bald men were overjoyed and quickly surrounded and grabbed her.

At this moment, Li Wei was hit on the head, his head was dizzy, and his whole body was burning with pain, but he was still unconsciously swinging the pickaxe handle in his hand.

Eight or nine thugs lay at his feet, each screaming in agony.

Someone circled around behind Li Wei and struck him hard with a club.

Amid Lu Jingjing's cries and screams, Li Wei shook his head, blood gushing from his mouth and nose. Suddenly, he shouted and turned around, knocking the stunned thugs to the ground with a stick.

He swayed and slowly walked towards Lu Jingjing, shouting, "Let her go, or I'll kill you."

Lu Jingjing cried out, "Help!"

"Bang." Another blow to the back.

Li Wei could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Brother-in-law," Lu Jingjing cried out.

Wang Fugui laughed loudly: "Little girl, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

Suddenly, several police cars drove in, the doors opened, and countless police officers poured out.

"Holy crap!" Zhang Hao was stunned. How come this is different from what we see on TV? The police arrived so quickly today.

Without a second thought, the thugs who were still standing scattered and fled.

The lead officer angrily said, "We just assembled and were about to go eat when trouble comes. Arrest them all and take them back. I want to see who dares to be so rampant in modern society, not even letting us eat in peace."

Numerous police officers immediately began making arrests, with two or three officers serving each thug. After fighting for half a day, the thugs were exhausted and were arrested one after another.

When Wang Fugui saw several guns pointed at him, he immediately raised his hands and shouted, "It's a misunderstanding! I didn't fight, I was just passing by to watch the fun."

The lead officer snapped, "Do you think I'm blind? Take them all back with you."

Pointing at the three bald men, he said, "Still holding onto that girl? Has the sniper arrived yet?"

The three bald men were terrified. They immediately released their grip and raised their hands in surrender, saying, "Officer, it's a misunderstanding! We were just joking!"

The officer glared at him: "Cuff him first. Who was it that screamed at the top of their lungs and no one came to save you?"

The three bald men shook their heads in unison, denying it: "It wasn't me, you must have misheard."

The officer laughed in exasperation: "You won't admit it, huh! Let me tell you, you're in big trouble for engaging in a gang fight and attempting to molest a woman."

The three bald men pointed at Wang Fugui in unison: "He made us do it. We're good people."

Several police officers stepped forward and placed their gleaming handcuffs on the table: "Why don't you go and become comedians? You're all decent people. Go tell the prosecutor and the judge later."

.........

In the hospital, in front of the intensive care unit, Lu Lili sobbed uncontrollably as she told her younger sister, "I've been worrying about him ever since I married him. He said he was going to find a job, and here I am in half a day."

A middle-aged doctor came out, holding several sheets of paper: "Whoever is a family member, go pay the fees again, and then sign this."

Lu Lili quickly took them and looked at them, asking in surprise, "What are these? Liability waivers?"

In the distance, Lu Feng strode over, took the receipt, and handed it to a very handsome and cool middle-aged doctor who followed him: "Cousin, you're an expert, take a look."

My cousin didn't answer. Seeing that no one was around, he said to the doctor from before, "Brother Chen, that person is my brother-in-law. He's not very well-off financially. Could you take a look and do something else besides what's necessary?"

Brother Chen pushed up his glasses: "Director Fu, what brings you here? Given his situation, the other party will definitely pay, so why try to save them money?"

"There's still no result yet. I heard they have connections, so it'll be difficult to handle if there's any backlash. Let's save on the fees for now, and I'll find a way to add more when there's good news from them."

Brother Chen chuckled, "Sure, it's not a big deal anyway. I was just saying, your brother-in-law's pretty strong. The police who brought him here said he took down nine thugs all by himself. You'll have to treat us to a meal later!"

Director Fu lightly punched Brother Chen: "Needless to say, we'll have dinner together once my brother-in-law recovers, and I'll show you what a real man's drinking style is."

Brother Chen pursed his lips, took back the bill and removed a few sheets: "I'm not drinking with you. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will cause me trouble. I suggest you get your face cut a few times! If you go out like that, all the pretty girls will be eyeing you, and my sister-in-law won't feel at ease."

Hearing them chatting so casually, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lili took the form, signed it, and then went to pay the fee accompanied by her sister.

Lu Feng asked with a serious expression, "Brother Chen, how is it?"

Brother Chen glanced at the two sisters as they walked away, then considered for a moment: "From what we can see, their unconsciousness is due to a concussion. The bleeding from their mouth and nose suggests internal organ damage as well. Let's see the test results."

"Sigh!" Lu Feng sighed, "Why has he been so unlucky lately?"

Director Fu patted Lu Feng on the shoulder: "You should go back and have Captain Chen investigate. I don't understand official matters, but he's a veteran policeman. He can at least handle it fairly after questioning. Don't worry about things here. Brother Chen is my senior, and he'll definitely take good care of Li Wei."

Lu Feng nodded, walked out into the corridor, and said to the two young men, "Thank you. Please take care of my brother-in-law. I'm going back to work now."

The two men were a little embarrassed: "Boss Lu, don't be so polite. This is our duty. We'll just take a statement when he wakes up. Our boss is angry this time too. They dare to act so arrogantly right under our noses. This time, we'll make sure they know the majesty of the law."

Lu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and patted the two on the shoulders: "Alright, I'm going back."

After everyone had left, Brother Chen looked at Director Fu seriously: "You should tell them! If they can get through tonight, everything will be fine; otherwise..."

Director Fu was shocked: "Didn't you just say..."

Brother Chen sighed, "If you hadn't come, I would have said so. Now that you're here, I can't bring myself to say anything!"

Fu Jianhua's eyes were wide open, and his lips were trembling. It would have been better if Lu Feng hadn't left, but how was he going to explain this to his cousin? This Chen Lei had actually dug a hole for him!

......

Exhaustion washed over him like a tidal wave, and Li Wei felt completely drained. His eyelids felt as heavy as if they weighed a ton, and he couldn't open them no matter how hard he tried.

In a daze, the scenery floated like a kaleidoscope, while I myself was adrift and uncertain.

Suddenly, Zhang Qian appeared before her, sighing, "I regret not listening to Brother Wei's advice. I'm so sad. When are you coming to see me?"

Li Wei looked at him and said, "There's no hurdle we can't overcome. I'll go now. Let's have a drink and chat, talk about our troubles, and then move on. We don't have any special skills; we can only earn money with our own hands to make our families live a better life."

Zhang Qian came over and pulled him: "Let's go, Brother Wei, I bought some pig's head meat and peanuts, let's go get a drink."

In a daze, Li Wei felt himself floating, as if he was being pulled up and flying.
