Chapter 149 Killing with a borrowed knife?
The next day, Li Kailang went to work as usual.
"Xiao Li, your tasks will change in the future." Zhang Jinwu said to Li Kailang.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly.
The driver's tasks and routes are relatively fixed and will not change suddenly.
Once replaced, it will take some time to process.
On the one hand, it is to familiarize yourself with the new route, and on the other hand, it is to establish a good relationship with the task factory.
"Nothing. Your driving skills are better than many veterans. It would be a waste of you to continue doing junior tasks. Our transport team cannot waste talents."
"The most important thing is my little bastard and Niu Qiping. You know Niu Qiping, right?"
"Yeah, I know. He did a mission with me last week." Li Kailang replied.
"We have two more driver assistants in our transport team, so we have to give them tasks to do."
Without waiting for Zhang Jinwu to finish speaking, Li Kailang directly expressed his attitude.
"I understand, Master. Give them the task. I can't wait to switch!"
"You know it before I even finish speaking?" Zhang Jinwu asked in confusion.
"What else? Just give them the task I have on hand. What's the big deal?" Li Kailang said nonchalantly.
"Okay, as long as you understand!"
Zhang Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Kailang was so sensible. He thought it would take a lot of effort to persuade Li Kailang.
The task at hand for Li Kailang is both safe and not difficult, making it a good task for driver assistants to practice on.
Originally, only Li Kailang advanced, so these tasks were naturally handed over to him, but now two more people have come.
Naturally, Li Kailang cannot monopolize these tasks.
Just as Zhang Jinwu said, Li Kailang's driving skills are no worse than those of the old master, and continuing to be a driver's assistant would be burying his skills.
There's no point in continuing.
The extra money I earn every time I go out is not as much as the subsidy!
But overall, the pros far outweigh the cons!
It's a good opportunity to see the beautiful scenery of other places.
"Okay, in the next few days, when you are free, take them out for a drive, familiarize them with the route, and give them the factory's relationships." Zhang Jinwu instructed.
At the beginning, Lu Wenjiang also brought Li Kailang with him and handed over the tasks and relationships to him. Naturally, Li Kailang would pass on the tasks.
"I understand, Master. I will complete the task!" Li Kailang stood at attention and saluted.
Zhang Jinwu was amused by Li Kailang's funny behavior.
"Okay, stop messing around. Hurry up and help them get familiar with the game. The sooner you finish the task, the sooner I can give it to you."
As soon as Li Kailang came out of the office, Zhang Fen came up to him.
"Xiao Li, has my dad talked to you about this?" Zhang Fen asked cautiously.
Li Kailang smiled slightly, "I told you, it's no big deal. I'll give it to you sooner or later anyway."
Zhang Fen was a little surprised. "Don't you mind? This is your mission. If we take over, you won't have any missions to do!"
Li Kailang shrugged casually. "What's the big deal? I've been wanting to hand over these tasks to you guys for a long time."
"I'm tired of doing these tasks. I told my master a long time ago that I wanted to change my tasks."
"It just so happens that you guys have been promoted, so I can relax a lot. Besides, there's nothing wrong with new missions and new routes. I can also make a little more money."
Seeing Li Kailang's disapproving expression, Zhang Fen immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great. By the way, Xiao Li, do you have a mission today? If not, can you help me get familiar with the work?"
Li Kailang nodded and smiled, "That's right, I have tasks to assign to you today, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the work."
If he completes the handover earlier, he can also start his own task earlier.
If Li Kailang didn't have the system, he wouldn't have stayed in the assistant position forever.
What's more, after half a year, these driver assistants will have to take another exam.
This test is much more difficult than the driving test. If you fail, you may not be able to become a driver.
After the matter was finalized, Li Kailang took Zhang Fen on the mission.
The first stop is naturally the familiar factory - the machinery factory.
Zhang Fen also knew the road, so Li Kailang directly gave the car to him to drive.
"Oh, it's so relaxing!" Li Kailang sat comfortably in the chair.
Unlike the nervous feeling he had when he was an apprentice sitting in the passenger seat, Li Kailang now just felt relaxed.
This is like the difference between a candidate and an invigilator. After going through untold hardships, you finally become an invigilator. Watching the candidates take the exam, you will experience how great that feeling is. You can experience it yourself!
"By the way, where is Niu Qiping? Why can't I see him?" Li Kailang suddenly asked.
"When I came to the transport team, I saw him with his master and senior brother. He must have been telling them something."
"Is that so! It seems they are also prepared! They should assign some tasks to him." Li Kailang muttered to himself.
Li Kailang didn't have many tasks to assign, and if they were to be divided between Zhang Fen and Niu Qi, it would not be enough.
Even if Li Kailang gave all of it to Zhang Fen, it would still not be enough. Lu Wenjiang and Zhang Jinwu would naturally assign him some tasks at that time.
However, Li Kailang doesn't need to worry about these things, as he has done everything he can.
On the bumpy road, Zhang Fen drove the truck steadily.
Suddenly, a group of young people rushed out from the bushes on the roadside.
"Squeak-"
A sharp brake sound cut through the air, and Zhang Fen slammed on the brakes, stopping the truck steadily in front of the group of people.
The sudden brake caused Li Kailang, who had his eyes closed to rest, to leap forward suddenly. He could only raise his hands to protect his head.
"Cover!" His arms hit the glove box in front of the passenger seat.
Fortunately, the truck was not going very fast and stopped as soon as the brakes were slammed. There was no steel bar on the carriage and it did not penetrate the cab.
"I go!"
Li Kailang couldn't help but curse, but fortunately his hands were just a little painful and nothing serious happened.
"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Zhang Fen asked anxiously.
"I'm fine! How are you? Are you okay?" Li Kailang responded quickly.
"No, I was wearing a seat belt, I wasn't hit!"
"That's good. What happened to you just now? Why did you suddenly step on the brakes?"
"If they hadn't suddenly rushed out, I wouldn't have suddenly stepped on the brakes!" Zhang Fen explained.
After saying this, he became furious, unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car, intending to ask them for an explanation.
"Damn, how do you drive? Don't you have eyes?" a young man leading the group cursed angrily.
Before Zhang Fen could speak, the man said:
"Did you have eyes when you were driving? Didn't you see us? What would you do if you hit us?"
"No, you scared my brother. You have to pay me. Otherwise, you can't leave." The man threatened.
Hearing this, Zhang Fen laughed out of anger.
"It was you who were running around and almost let me bump into you, and you're asking me for money? I'm already doing well by not asking you for money."
"Do you know how valuable the things in my car are? If anything goes wrong, your whole family won't be able to afford the compensation."
When they heard the words “can’t afford to pay”, the group of people instantly became panic-stricken.
They all come from ordinary peasant families and are afraid at the thought of losing money.
However, the leader Chen Dali's eyes lit up. If they can't afford to pay, doesn't that mean they have a lot of money?
Now, Chen Dali was no longer afraid. He looked at Zhang Fen provocatively and said:
"Hey, kid, you're so crazy! Do you know where this place is? Do you know who we are?"
"This is our place. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay. If you don't pay, you can't leave!"
As he said that, he walked up to Zhang Fen and wanted to pat his face.
"Damn, I'm giving you face!" Zhang Fen was immediately filled with anger.
It was just the first time that I went out with Li Kailang as a driver's assistant, and I encountered such an unlucky thing.
It was already good enough that he didn't cause trouble for Chen Dali, but Chen Dali actually wanted to blackmail him.
One can imagine how Zhang Fen felt, not at all good.
"boom!"
Without further ado, Zhang Fen punched Chen Dali in the stomach.
Chen Dali took a few steps back defenselessly, then bent over in pain, holding his stomach.
"Ah!" He groaned in pain.
"Ahhh~"
Chen Dali was holding his stomach, his face pale, obviously seriously injured.
The younger brothers rushed forward to support him and looked at him worriedly.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" The younger brothers hurriedly supported Chen Dali.
"Don't worry about me, beat him!" Chen Dali pointed at Zhang Fen and yelled with a painful expression on his face.
Hearing Chen Dali's order, the younger brothers raised their fists without hesitation and rushed towards Zhang Fen.
Faced with the siege of five people, Zhang Fen quickly defeated two of them with his strong physique.
But the younger brothers behind him followed closely. Although Zhang Fen was stronger than them, two fists could not defeat ten hands.
He couldn't stand being beaten so many times, so he quickly dodged and looked for an opportunity.
At the same time, Chen Dali, who had recovered, also joined the battle.
At this time, Li Kailang would naturally not sit idly by and watch, "It just so happens that I didn't ask Sha Zhu to try his hand yesterday, so you guys came up on your own."
He quickly got out of the car, grabbed one of the guys by the shoulders, and punched him hard in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
Then the next one.
Seeing Li Kailang offering help, Zhang Fen's pressure was immediately relieved a lot and he stopped avoiding him.
He rushed at one of them and knocked him to the ground with two or three punches.
"Damn, he actually has an accomplice. Go ahead, beat him up!" Chen Dali roared in frustration.
The two of them separated and went towards Li Kailang.
"Xiao Li, be careful!" Zhang Fen shouted.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Brother Zhang, just take care of yourself!" Li Kailang replied.
Looking at the two men attacking with bare hands, Li Kailang was full of disdain.
Even if he had no martial arts skills, he would not be afraid, let alone now that he has Bajiquan.
"Damn it! How dare he look down on us? Kill him!"
Li Kailang went forward fearlessly.
One punch, two punches, three punches. The battle is over in an instant!
Chen Dali, who was fighting fiercely with Zhang Fen on the side, saw this scene and thought to himself that it was not good. They had provoked a tough guy this time.
"The idea is prickly!"
Chen Dali had no intention of running away. He looked around and needed a suitable weapon.
His eyes fell on the big rock on the ground, and without saying a word, he picked up the brick-sized rock. "Ah! Boy! You're looking for death!"
Chen Dali swung the stone in his hand and smashed it hard at Li Kailang.
Li Kailang smiled contemptuously and displayed the basic punching power of Bajiquan.
Seeing that Li Kailang was determined to fight him to the death, Chen Dali did not hesitate and smashed the stone in his hand hard.
"Xiao Li! Be careful!" Zhang Fen saw this situation during a break in the fight and became extremely anxious.
Zhang Fen took the attacks from the two younger brothers head-on, quickly resolved them with two punches, and then rushed towards Li Kailang.
Chen Dali's eyes were filled with anger and fanaticism, his pupils were wide open, he clenched the stone and smashed it hard.
Li Kailang clenched his fists and hit the stone hard.
"boom!"
The stone shattered instantly and scattered all over the ground.
Li Kailang's heavy fist hit the brick-sized stone hard, shattering it instantly.
"Drip~"
Drops of blood dripped from the back of Li Kailang's hand and fell on the dry ground.
Chen Dali stood there, staring blankly at the stone in his hand as it shattered into pieces.
It seemed that he had not yet recovered from the shock.
The brick-sized stone was broken into pieces by Li Kailang with just one punch.
Chen Dali was so frightened that his legs trembled and he stepped back repeatedly.
His face, which was already pale to begin with, now became even more bloodless.
"Damn it! Go to hell!" Zhang Fen rode his horse over and without any hesitation, he kicked Chen Dali.
"what!"
Chen Dali screamed and his body was kicked hard and flew out, drawing a parabola in the air.
Then he fell heavily to the ground, rolling around in pain, holding his lower back.
"Xiao Li, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Li Kailang shook his hand that was bleeding and said nonchalantly.
Looking at his hand oozing blood, Li Kailang felt relieved.
"Luckily, Bajiquan transformed my hands and made them extremely hard, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take the stone head-on."
Although there are thick calluses on his fists, Li Kailang knows that these calluses are not invincible.
He carefully examined his palms and found that the places where blood was oozing were where the calluses were weaker.
"Xiao Li, don't say that on purpose. It's no small matter to catch a rock."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhang! Look, my hands aren't bleeding anymore!" Li Kailang wiped off the blood outside.
Zhang Fen took a closer look and found that there was really no bleeding, so he felt relieved.
Turning to look at Chen Dali and his group, all six of them had been knocked to the ground.
They were either rolling around holding their stomachs, or holding other parts of their bodies and groaning in pain.
Although the driver has no martial arts skills, his strength is unmatched by everyone.
To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader. Zhang Fen walked straight to Chen Dali.
Zhang Fen didn't care how serious Chen Dali's injuries were, nor how much pain he was in. He just grabbed him and brought him to Li Kailang.
"Damn it, boy, you actually dared to hit my brother Li, hurry up and apologize to my brother Li!"
Chen Dali hadn't recovered yet and couldn't utter a word. He held his lower back and inhaled coldly with his mouth grimacing.
But Zhang Fen didn't care about anything and just slapped him twice.
"Clap!"
Before Chen Dali could react, he was hit so hard by Zhang Fen that he felt dizzy and dazed.
"Boy, hurry up and apologize to Brother Li!"
"Clap!"
There was another round of slapping sounds. Chen Dali saw stars and felt that his face was no longer his own.
"Speak! If you don't speak, I'll continue to beat you. Let's see who is harder, you or me!"
Zhang Fen was so angry that his mind was overwhelmed. This had never happened before.
He stared at Chen Dali fiercely, his eyes full of threats and murderous intent.
"I said! I said!"
Chen Dali ignored the pain and quickly apologized to Li Kailang.
He knew that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and if he didn't apologize, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Brother Li! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Chen Dali kept apologizing, looked up and saw Li Kailang's serious expression, and kowtowed quickly!
"Tell me, what's wrong with you? Why are you running out here at this hour instead of working in the fields? What do you want to do?"
Li Kailang asked the last sentence loudly, causing Chen Dali and others to tremble.
Suddenly, their bodies trembled.
"Speak!" Zhang Fen shouted in agreement.
He stared at Chen Dali and the others with wide eyes and threatened: "No one is allowed to hide anything, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Hearing this, Chen Dali answered tremblingly.
He looked at Zhang Fen and Li Kailang cautiously, afraid of saying something wrong.
"We were tired from work, so we came out to rest for a while and planned to go back to the village to drink some water. It just so happened that..."
Li Kailang listened to what Chen Dali said, but he didn't believe it at all.
He looked at these people coldly, already having made a judgment in his heart.
Looking at the appearance of Chen Dali and the other five people, there were no obvious calluses on their hands, and it was obvious that they had not done much work.
The clothes were clean, without any trace of dirt on them.
Look at their arrogant and idle appearance, typical rural thugs.
"Stop talking nonsense! What you said may be enough to fool young people, but it's too young to fool us."
"Hurry up and tell the truth, otherwise don't blame us for sending you to the police station!" Li Kailang threatened.
Chen Dali looked at Li Kailang's vicious look, twisting his wrist, and said out loud in fear,
Chen Dali was deliberately waiting here, waiting for passing vehicles, and then deliberately rushed out to cause trouble in order to extort money.
His methods were cunning. As long as the car stopped, he would find a way to get some money out regardless of whether the driver agreed or not.
The reason was that he had recently become addicted to gambling and had lost all his small nest egg.
My family doesn't give me money, so I want to find a way to make money.
With no other options left, he had to find some shady friends to plan this despicable act together.
"Gambling!" Li Kailang muttered to himself.
Li Kailang is well aware of the dangers of gambling. Chen Dali is young, only in his early twenties, and it will be difficult for him to quit gambling once he gets addicted.
If there is no external interference, he will keep gambling as long as he has money, until he loses everything and his family is destroyed.
Looking at Chen Dali like this, Li Kailang couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
However, it was only for a moment, and he was not Chen Dali's parent, so why should he care about him.
Li Kailang looked at the surrounding terrain and felt somewhat familiar with it. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
Looking around more carefully, it seemed like someone's purchasing route.
Maybe there's a trick you can use - killing with a borrowed knife.
This would not only allow him to take revenge on Wang Changjun, but would also allow him to distance himself from the matter.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not do it!
"Xiao Li, it seems that they are not good people. They are idle all day long and dare to gamble. Why don't we call the police?" Zhang Fen suggested.
When Chen Dali heard this, he instantly panicked!
"No, don't call the police. I will never idle around or gamble again. Don't call the police! Don't call the police!"
As he spoke, Chen Dali actually began to cry, with tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Fen was not going to let them go, "Humph, you guys don't do your work all day long, you just gamble, it's time to go to the police station and reflect on your mistakes!"
Li Kailang quickly persuaded: "Ahem, Brother Zhang, there is no need to be so serious."
"Everyone makes mistakes. This is their first offense. Now they know they are wrong. Give them a chance to make amends!"
"Besides, they are still young. If they go to the police station, their future lives will be ruined. Let's give them a chance. I'll apologize to you on their behalf! Give me some face and let this matter go."
Although what Li Kailang said seemed to make sense, Zhang Fen still didn't intend to let them go.
After Li Kailang's full persuasion, Zhang Fen finally decided to let them go for Li Kailang's sake.
He glared at Chen Dali.
"Why don't you thank Brother Li? If he hadn't said anything, none of you would have left here today. You would all have to stay in the police station."
As he said that, Zhang Fen kicked Chen Dali.
Chen Dali and his group of younger brothers all nodded and bowed, thanking him repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Li! Thank you, Brother Li!"
Li Kailang squatted down, looked at Chen Dali's slightly immature face, and patted his cheek gently.
He said gently, "You look so young, this must be your first time doing this, you don't have much experience, and you don't know how to judge people."
"Extortion is no joke. It's a technical job. You have to choose the right person. Not just anyone can do it. Use your brain to think about it."
As he spoke, Li Kailang tapped Chen Dali's head with his finger.
Chen Dali couldn't help feeling touched when he heard what Li Kailang said.
Zhang Fen and his younger brothers listened to Li Kailang's words and thought that Li Kailang was scolding them.
Only Chen Dali seemed to be thinking about something. He felt as if he understood something, but it also felt a little vague.
Seeing Chen Dali's eyes flickering, Li Kailang knew that he had taken the bait and smiled contemptuously.
"Brother Zhang, let's go! Don't let these guys delay our business." Li Kailang stood up.
"Okay, damn, these brats are ruining my life!"
Zhang Fen muttered and was about to kick Chen Dali again, but was stopped in time by Li Kailang.
The two got into the car and the door slowly closed.
Just as the car was about to drive away, a big black ten-dollar bill suddenly fell down and landed right in front of Chen Dali.
While no one was paying attention, Chen Dali quickly picked up the money and quietly put it into his pocket.
"Idiot, you didn't even know you lost your money. This time you won't lose anything, you'll make a lot of money!"
