102: Chapter 102: Crossing the River!

While Wu Kai was distracted, a high-performance sports car came up from behind, easily overtaking seven vehicles to reach the front, attempting to intercept the convoy.

“Ram it over!”

Xu Qianli roared dominantly!

Upon receiving the order, Wu Kai aggressively stomped on the accelerator, and the car’s speed suddenly surged, abruptly smashing into the rear of the sports car.

The sports car suddenly veered forward for several dozen meters, immediately losing balance, and like a snake, it swung its body violently, finally crashing into a green belt.

Temporarily avoiding danger, Wu Kai broke out in a cold sweat, glancing at Xu Qianli, “What do we do now?”

“Don’t panic, there’s a way, there definitely is a way!”

Xu Qianli’s mind raced, thinking of a solution.

Soon, a place popped into his mind.

“Got it, Luo’s Sand Pit!”

“Kaizi, inform everyone, head to Luo’s Sand Pit!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Kai immediately used the walkie-talkie to direct his men to change course to Luo’s Sand Pit.

Xu Qianli still felt it wasn’t safe enough, hurriedly pulled out his phone, and made a quick call to Zi Yumo.

Once the call connected, Xu Qianli briefly explained the current situation and sought her help.

Among Xu Qianli’s acquaintances, Bai Yanran held the highest status and held great power, but she was in the provincial city and couldn’t help at the moment.

Right now, the person who could best assist him and had the capability to do so was Zi Yumo.

Upon hearing the situation, Zi Yumo responded with just two words: wait for it.

Just those two words greatly calmed Xu Qianli down, he was sure he would make it through this!

The convoy continued advancing, chased by dozens of vehicles.

However, since the sports car had been overturned earlier, they dared not rush forward to intercept, staying back like bloodthirsty wild dogs watching their prey.

Xu Qianli was well aware of their intentions—these rogues must have figured out Zhongzhou Bridge was blocked, and he had no way to cross the river, almost like a turtle in a jar, waiting to strike when they reached the riverbank.

Their calculations were meticulous, but Xu Qianli had no intention of letting them succeed, directing the convoy straight to Luo’s Sand Pit.

Luo’s Sand Pit, the third largest sand pit in Zhongzhou City, was located by the river, with numerous boats; crossing the river meant taking a risk at Luo’s Sand Pit.

Soon, they had arrived at the river, following the embankment road all the way to Luo’s Sand Pit.

Seemingly having sensed their intentions, the pursuers rapidly responded, cars speeding over attempting to intercept.

“Kaizi, hand me the gun!”

Xu Qianli took Wu Kai’s service pistol, rolled down the window, and sticking out his upper body in the pouring rain, he squinted and pulled the trigger at the rushing cars.

Bang, bang, bang…

Firing several shots, thanks to the high-speed movement of the vehicle, the pouring rain, and his poor shooting skills, Xu Qianli managed to hit one shot, piercing a car’s windshield and then the driver’s arm.

That car immediately lost balance, crashing into another, and soon both vehicles flipped on their side, blocking the road, causing the pursuers to slam on their brakes, many colliding with each other.

“Bro, you’re freaking awesome, this shooting skills are unmatched, it’s like something out of a blockbuster movie, incredible!”

Wu Kai lavishly praised him, looking at the situation in the rearview mirror, astonished by Xu Qianli’s prowess.

“Awesome my ass, I’m about to piss myself here!”

“Also, just now I was completely relying on luck, blindly guessing.”

Xu Qianli collapsed into his seat, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Wu Kai said, “Luck is also part of strength.

Alas, there it is, we’ve finally arrived.”

The convoy finally reached Luo’s Sand Pit; taking advantage of the moment when pursuers were blocked, Xu Qianli and Wu Kai got out of the car to look for the people of Luo’s Sand Pit, revealing their identities and asking for assistance to cross the river.

To go to Jiang City other than crossing the Zhongzhou Bridge, there were two other ferry crossings, but Xu Qianli did not dare to take the risk at the ferry, especially since the same people who blocked the bridge were likely to set an ambush at the ferry too.

Coming to Luo’s Sand Pit was the best choice.

The owner of Luo’s Sand Pit was from Jiang City and had a very good relationship with the old County Magistrate; Xu Qianli had met him more than once and was quite familiar with him.

Upon learning their purpose, the owner immediately ordered a few sand-carrying boats to be prepared, putting footboards on them to let seven cars board several boats and set off for the opposite bank.

Wu Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief, “At least we’ve escaped one disaster.”

Xu Qianli said, “We haven’t gotten back to Jiang City yet.

Everything is still uncertain, and who knows what may happen next.

It’s best to be cautious.”

As they were speaking, they saw many vehicles storm into Luo’s Sand Pit, clearly those pursuers who had cleared the path and chased after them.

Wu Kai’s anxiety grew again.

“Damn, those guys came so quickly.

Seeing us boarding the boats, they will surely send out a message.”

“The sand-carrying boats have large tonnages and can’t easily come ashore; they need to find docks.

They will definitely organize people to wait for us at both the upstream and downstream docks on the opposite bank.”

“They might even send speedboats to intercept us.”

“What should we do now?”

Wu Kai was extremely worried; being a veteran detective, he was highly astute and fully aware of the current situation.

This time they faced an extremely formidable opponent; one misstep, and both he and Xu Qianli could end up buried in the river.

Xu Qianli said, “There’s nothing to worry about; I have already contacted a helper.

With her taking action, we will definitely be fine.”

Though he said this, Xu Qianli felt uneasy inside.

After all, Zi Yumo came down from the province, and while she was in Jiang City, relying on her suddenly to help was uncertain regarding how much energy she could exert.

In his heart, Xu Qianli silently prayed, ‘Zi Yumo you violent maniac, bold girl, you better be effective.

If you can help me get through this, you’ll be my living Goddess, and I’ll worship you forever.’

Soon, Wu Kai’s fears materialized, as several speedboats rapidly approached the sand-carrying ship amidst the heavy rain.

Playing with speedboats on a rainy day wasn’t without risks; Wu Kai immediately fired his gun into the air as a warning, forbidding any approach.

The speedboats indeed did not come closer, but they stayed nearby, watching the movement of the sand-carrying boats.

When it rains, it pours; the ‘ship captain’ had someone come to find Xu Qianli, informing him that due to heavy rain, a large reservoir 100 kilometers upstream was releasing floodwaters, and the river water here was about to surge.

All ships must dock.

Right now, he had to go to the nearest dock to anchor.

Xu Qianli’s heart tightened, the nearest dock now would undoubtedly have people waiting for him.

Going there now would be like walking into a trap.

But with the river water about to surge, he couldn’t force the ‘ship captain’ to risk his life to help him, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Under the vigilant surveillance of the speedboats, the sand-carrying boats steered toward the nearest dock on the opposite bank.

Time ticked by every second, the dock drawing closer, Xu Qianli could even vaguely see a large number of vehicles parked and many people standing in the rain.

These people were clearly targeting them!
