Substitute Driver's Notes

Chapter 40 It's all the cell phone's fault

Wang Fuyou, a coward who always believed that harmony brings wealth, suddenly changed his tune, speaking with barbs and sarcasm, a change in style that is worrying.

Looking at Zhu Changfei's agitated expression and then at Hu Lijing's hypocritical demeanor, Li Wei realized that this woman was up to something and was deliberately making a big fuss.

Zhu Changfei's face turned red with anger. He pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out of here! Don't even think about drinking a drop of my water again!"

Wang Fuyou sneered: "Who cares! That Zhu guy, he can't last long in the business of swindling and cheating. It's better to do business honestly. He's only made a few stinking bucks! He's trying to be like those big bosses who keep mistresses. You're not even qualified to be a boss at his level."

Zhu Changfei jumped up and ran to the door, shouting, "Hey, you silly goose, stop working and come here right now!"

Two strong loaders immediately ran over.

Zhu Changfei pointed fiercely at Wang Fuyou: "Give him a beating, a really good beating. I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

The two men stared blankly at Zhu Changfei. Boss Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Add fifty yuan to each person."

The simple-minded bear was the first to realize what was happening, shaking his head and saying, "I won't do it for fifty yuan, it has to be at least one hundred."

"Fine, one hundred it is. Give me a good beating, and I'll pay you when I'm done."

"Okay!"

The two heroes stormed in, their faces contorted with rage.

It's clear that Wang Fuyou is all talk and no action; he's completely useless. He barely managed to get a few moves against those two farmers before getting thrashed and rubbed into the ground.

Li Wei sighed and advised, "Don't do it, I'm calling the police."

After saying that, he took out his phone to dial a number. Hu Lijing, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly grabbed Li Wei's phone. Despite wearing high heels, she was surprisingly agile and ran out the door in a few steps, hiding behind Zhu Changfei.

Zhu Changfei must have gone mad. Standing outside the door, he pointed at Li Wei and yelled, "They're in cahoots! Beat them up together!"

Which eye of yours saw that we were in cahoots? Working together doesn't make us cahoots? What kind of ridiculous logic is that?

Time was of the essence for Li Wei. The two men, Han Xiong and Leng Dan, released Wang Fuyou and came over with their wild, unruly punches.

The cramped office made it impossible to stand properly, so Li Wei clenched his fists, jumped onto the hardwood chair, raised his leg from above, and kicked Leng Dan in the chest, sending him flying far away.

He then jumped forward, using the momentum to deliver a punch that sent blood gushing from the bear's mouth and nose. The bear stumbled back a few steps and landed hard on its backside.

Hu Lijing, who was hiding behind Zhu Changfei, screamed and ran away. Zhu Changfei tried his best to maintain his boss image. When he saw Li Wei staring at him through the glass, he calmly straightened his chest. If it weren't for his slightly trembling legs and hands betraying him, one would really think that Boss Zhu was a seasoned and courageous hero.

Wang Fuyou, who had been lying on the ground with his head in his hands, got up. With black eyes, he spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. He kicked each of the two boys, Hanxiong Lengdan, and then clenched his fists and walked out towards Zhu Changfei.

Zhu Changfei retreated to a spacious area in the yard, waving his hands and muttering under his breath, "Master Wang, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. You can't hit me. Give me some face in front of the workers, or I'll call the police to arrest you. Oh my god! Help! Someone's been hit!"

Wang Fuyou grabbed Lao Zhu by the collar and started punching him: "Can't I hit you? You let someone hit me first."

Amidst the wailing screams of agony, Wang Fuyou, who had failed to deal with the simple-minded bear, found it incredibly easy to take down this middle-aged man who was only 1.65 meters tall.

With one punch, the old man dodged to the side, then lay down and curled up in a ball, covering his head.

Long since recovered, the simple-minded bear sat on the floor in the office, staring blankly, unable to get up.

Seeing that it was about time, Li Wei came out and pulled Wang Fuyou away, advising, "Fighting is not a good idea. If you kill him, you'll have to pay with your life. You're only in your early thirties. Wouldn't it be a huge loss to trade your life for this old guy's?"

It seems Zhu Changfei is experienced in getting beaten up. He had already curled up and covered his head early on, but now he sat up as if nothing had happened, dusted himself off, and threatened, "Who are you calling an old man? You two just wait, my secretary is going to find someone, and they'll beat you both to death in a bit."

Li Wei stared at Zhu Changfei in astonishment. Was this guy stupid? He dared to spout nonsense before his helpers even arrived. Wasn't he afraid of getting beaten up by Old Wang again?

The other workers unloading the truck had already stopped what they were doing and were standing on the high roof of the truck looking in this direction.

The forklift driver had already stopped and turned off the engine. He was sitting in the truck, mouth agape, watching the spectacle, drooling without even realizing it.

Workers from other nearby production lines and office staff, upon hearing Zhu Changfei's screams, also stopped what they were doing and came out to watch the spectacle. They gathered around from a distance, pointing and whispering about the group as if watching a monkey show.

Awkward! Li Wei felt time was dragging on and was trying to figure out how to get away.

Seeing that Wang Fuyou was gradually calming down, Zhu Changfei shouted into the office, "Are you two dead? Come out and help me up."

The two heroes quickly got up, ran out of the office, circled around Li Wei, and came to Zhu Changfei's side. Each of them took one of Zhu's arms and helped him up.

Zhu Changfei stood up, clutching his back, and continued to threaten, "If you two dare to hit me, who in this area, underworld or legitimate society, doesn't give me some face? I'll have someone kill you."

After investigation, it was found that Zhu Changfei was also a cooked duck, stubborn as a mule.

Huh? Why did I add "also"? Is there someone else who's being stubborn?

Seeing Wang Fuyou's face turn red and that he was about to go forward and hit him again, Hanxiong Lengdan hurriedly stood side by side with Zhu Changfei to block Wang Fuyou and looked at Li Wei with fearful eyes.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out among the onlookers. Hu Lijing, accompanied by several security guards, pushed through the crowd and pointed at Li Wei and his companion, lying: "It was those two who caused trouble. I told them that smoking was prohibited in the freight yard, but they wouldn't listen and even hit people."

Li Wei was furious. How could someone do this? Lying without even blushing, doesn't their conscience hurt?

Unwilling to be wrongly accused, Li Wei hurriedly defended himself, saying, "We didn't smoke."

Several security guards, carrying rubber batons, ignored everyone's explanations and surrounded the group, some shouting that they should beat them up first, and others saying that a fine of a thousand yuan or so would suffice.

One of them was clearly a ruthless and taciturn man. He walked up to Li Wei, swung a rubber baton, and smashed it over Li Wei's head.

Poor Wang Fuyou was surrounded and beaten by two security guards, and was knocked to the ground in the blink of an eye, where several large leather shoes began to kick him violently.

Li Wei dodged the rubber baton, snatched it, and struck the oblivious security guard with it, making him cry out in pain.

He strode over to Wang Fuyou, kicked the two security guards aside, waved his rubber baton a few times, scaring the two men away. He then bent down and helped the unlucky Wang Fuyou up.

The remaining security guards were furious and shouted, "We were just planning to give you a beating and fine you a little, but now you two are in trouble!"

While they were blaming Li Wei in a chaotic manner, they were also calling for backup via walkie-talkie.

Wang Fuyou wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled bitterly: "Brother Wei, these security guards are unreasonable, and their boss is arrogant too. It's better to let them beat you up if you don't fight back, but if you fight back, things will get really bad. You should run! If they take you to a deserted place and beat you to a pulp, you won't have anyone to complain to. If I don't fight back, it'll just cost me some money."

Li Wei was a little confused, but he didn't want to run away. He whispered to Wang Fuyou, "My phone was stolen by accident. Try to call the police. If you can't reason with them, then call the police."

"Oh my god, Brother Wei, how could you run a security company without some connections? Calling the police is just like walking into their hideout. What was supposed to be a small matter of spending some money has turned into a government job and you might end up in jail."
