Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo didn't want to eat; they had other things to do.

The food processing plant in Lijiapo Village, located in Dongfang City, is currently developing new snacks, and they've been wanting to visit it for a while.

"It's still early, so let's skip the meal and have it another time!"

Li Jin declined.

Men Shifang, however, was very enthusiastic, saying, "We've closed such a big deal, how can we not celebrate with a meal? If you don't come for this meal, you'll be disrespecting me!"

As he spoke, he repeatedly invited the group.

Li Jin and Li Xiangdong exchanged a glance. Li Xiangdong smiled and said, "Boss Men, my dad and Uncle Zhenbo really have something to do. Well then, I appreciate your hospitality! Let's go eat!"

Men Shifang glanced at him, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

He laughed heartily, "Okay, okay! Let's do it together again next time!"

As Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo took their leave, Li Jin looked at Li Xiangdong with worry in his eyes while Men Shifang and the others turned around.

Let's go together—

Li Xiangdong shook his head. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Men Shifang walked over, laughing heartily, "What secrets are you two talking about, father and son?"

Li Xiangdong smiled helplessly, "My dad is afraid I'll drink."

Li Jin said seriously, "My son can't hold his liquor, so please don't force him to drink."

Men Shifang winked at Li Xiangdong, then assured Li Jin, "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen!"

Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo then prepared to leave.

Because this place is relatively remote, it's usually difficult to hail a taxi.

Perhaps it was good luck, but a yellow Daihatsu minivan drove up at that moment.

The Huang Dafa van was a joint venture between Bincheng Huali and Daihatsu of Japan. Production began in 1984 and ceased in 2002.

Huang Dafa was a popular luxury taxi in the 1980s, and of course, the fare was not cheap.

Originally, Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo planned to walk to the bus stop and then take the bus to the food processing plant.

Unexpectedly, Men Shifang was a very enthusiastic person and waved to stop Huang Dafa.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the driver, wearing a black hat pulled low, asked, "Where to?"

Baiyanghe Food Factory.

Ten yuan!

The driver's voice was deep.

Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo quickly went to stop Shi Fang, saying, "We can just walk there and take the bus! No need to take a taxi!"

With that, he lifted his leg to leave.

Men Shifang grabbed one in each hand, shouting, "Hey, hey, don't go! Ten yuan isn't expensive! Let's take a bus!"

He pulled a ten-yuan note from his pocket and handed it to the driver, saying, "Get in the car, I've already paid you, you won't get your money back if you don't take it!"

Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo had no choice but to get on Huang Dafa.

Watching Huang Dafa wiggle his hips and drive away in a cloud of black smoke, quickly disappearing from their sight, Men Shifang then affectionately embraced Li Xiangdong, and the two of them also got into their car and drove away.

Shortly after Li Xiangdong and his group left, the doors of the Longxi Road branch of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank were quickly locked.

————

Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo sat in the Huang Dafa, watching the car drive out of the bustling city center and gradually drift away.

Wang Zhenbo frowned and reminded him, "Master, it seems you've gone the wrong way."

"That's right, we're taking a shortcut!"

The driver said without turning his head.

At that time, there was no Beidou satellite or any other navigation system. When traveling in an unfamiliar city, drivers relied entirely on maps.

Therefore, you generally have to believe whatever the driver says.

Wang Zhenbo didn't think much of it and continued to close his eyes and rest.

A cold glint flashed in Li Jin's eyes as he reached into his bag, where a sharpened dagger lay.

He opened the car window and looked at the scenery outside.

It seemed that there was a cream-colored Volga behind them, heading in the same direction.

The car quickly left the bustling city center, and the road turned into a bumpy dirt road, with large wheat fields and fruit trees on both sides.

"Hey sir, where are you driving off to! Didn't you say you were going to Baiyanghe Food Factory? If you keep driving like this, we won't give you extra pay!"

When Wang Zhenbo woke up, he saw the wheat fields on both sides and was so angry that his nose almost twisted out of shape.

Needless to say, this unscrupulous driver must have taken a longer route, bringing them to this unfamiliar area just to get more money!

He angrily questioned the driver, but the driver didn't answer him at all.

Even Li Jin remained calm, neither agreeing with Wang Zhenbo nor criticizing the driver.

Wang Zhenbo quickly realized that something was wrong.

Damn it, there's danger!

He immediately moved closer to Li Jin, grabbed Huang Dafa's car handle with his right hand, and prepared to jump off the car and run away at any moment.

The driver noticed his little trick in the rearview mirror and suddenly chuckled.

"What are you doing? Getting ready to run?"

Wang Zhenbo tried to remain calm, but his voice betrayed his fear.

"Why are you running away! We paid for it, so you have to deliver it to us!"

Hehe~

The driver chuckled dryly, "Sure! I'll make sure you get there."

Just then, a cream-colored Volga suddenly appeared from the opposite direction, speeding along the uneven dirt road, bouncing and hopping like a running rabbit, kicking up a layer of dust.

"Holy crap!"

Huang Dafa, the driver, cursed under his breath and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Driven by inertia, Li Jin and Wang Zhenbo suddenly lunged towards the front seat!

The driver also lunged forward and lay face down on the steering wheel.

Li Jin suddenly pulled his hand out of his bag with lightning speed.

Along with it came a gleaming dagger!

The sharp tip of the dagger was pressed against the driver's exposed carotid artery.

"Don't move!"

The driver felt a slight stinging pain as the knife tip cut his skin, as if warm liquid was slowly flowing out of his body.

"Holy crap!"

If he moves, the knife tip will plunge into his carotid artery, and even a god couldn't save his life then.

The driver didn't dare to move.

At that moment, the door of the Volga across the street opened, and two people jumped out.

They quickly walked up to Huang Dafa and suddenly opened the car door.

Then, they were stunned.

Um, weren't we supposed to send them to rescue people?

This seems a bit different from what was said!

Li Jin doesn't seem like a victim at all!

Seeing Zhang Lu and Park Young standing there blankly, Li Jin felt anxious.

Hey you two, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me catch this bad guy!

These two were none other than Zhang Lu and Park Young, two of the three bodyguards that Yu Shi had introduced to Li Xiangdong.

After Li Jin's shout, Zhang Lu and Park Young finally came to their senses and hurriedly tied Huang Dafa's driver up tightly.

Seeing that the bad guys had been subdued, Wang Zhenbo got out of the car, trembling.

Huang Dafa, the driver, was left on the dirt road, looking disheveled.

However, he looked alright, glancing sideways at Li Jin and the others.

"You're robbing people! Hmph, just wait until the police arrest you!"
