Chapter 253: Insider
By the time they came to their senses and jumped into their car to try to stop it, it was too late.
The small truck had been hit hard by the large truck and was pushed to the side of the road. The small truck that was previously lying across the road was also tilted on the side of the road, with its front hitting the mountain wall and half of the front of the truck flattened.
The entire truck was in such a shabby state that it was almost unrecognizable.
The large truck did not stop to check. Instead, it stepped on the accelerator, roared past the small truck and continued forward.
Afterwards, a second large truck driven by Wang Hongjun caught up and also passed the small truck and ran away.
Following closely, one after another...
After all eight cars passed smoothly, the group of carjackers kept cursing, but it was of no use.
Someone had already noticed something was wrong, so he stopped and slid off the truck.
Some people just focus on their work, and when they notice something is wrong around them, they find that the truck has climbed to the top of the slope and arrived at the open area.
The group of people didn't dare to stay any longer and abandoned their cars and fled.
But can they escape now if they want to?
After the truck was driving normally on the road, Lu Yunchen winked at Zhang Li and waited for the other party to take over smoothly. Then he turned over and climbed back onto the carriage, blocking the group of people who were trying to escape.
Afterwards, it was a one-sided battle!
Because the truck that led the way had stopped, there were the most robbers in the car. The truck that Huang Xinran followed closely behind had much fewer people in it.
Precisely because there were fewer people, Huang Xinran's side was relatively calm compared to the fierce fighting taking place in the carriage in front of them.
The vines transformed from spiritual power quickly whipped the three people who jumped into the car. The three people screamed and groaned. It only took a moment for them to go from resisting at the beginning to shouting "There is a ghost" later.
Afterwards, when Huang Xinran intentionally let the water flow, the three of them fled from the carriage in a panic. All their clothes were stripped off by the vines, even their shoes were not spared.
No one chased them, and those who managed to escape were celebrating. It was not until they completely escaped the dangerous section and the sky gradually brightened that everyone stopped one after another to count the losses.
Lu Yunchen did not keep those car-stealing gangs.
At the time, he was outnumbered six by himself and was worried about the vehicles behind him, so he ignored anyone who escaped with empty hands.
Naturally, this gave those people an opportunity to take advantage of and escape successfully.
Now the losses have been counted. The first truck lost seven or eight boxes of goods, the second truck lost nothing, and the third, fourth, and fifth trucks lost two to five boxes. Overall, everyone is very satisfied.
After all, under such circumstances, they were able to escape safely with their vehicles and only lost very little cargo, which was already valuable.
The first one suffered a big loss.
Fortunately, the goods on the first truck were also the lowest-value goods.
Even so, Zhang Li was grateful to Lu Yunchen with tears in his eyes. If he hadn't decisively driven his car to hit the other party's pickup truck, who knows what would have happened today.
As for the fact that you have to pay for the lost goods yourself, it seems not so important.
Lao Chen, the old truck driver who drove the same truck as Zhang Li, kept smoking. Compared to the excited Zhang Li, he had a lot to say.
"Who told you to jump out of the car? Who told you and Zhang Li to grab the steering wheel? Who told you to drive the car and hit the pickup truck? Do you know that your behavior will make it very difficult for me to do what I want?"
He pointed to the damaged part of the truck and said, "Come on, tell me what to do with the damage on my truck."
"Yes, I was reckless. I admit my mistake!"
Lu Yunchen apologized decisively, "However, in that situation, I can't just watch everyone suffer heavy losses. After all, if we all fall into the hands of that gang of car thieves, I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to get away... As for the damage to your car, you can go and fix it when we get to your destination, and I'll pay you whatever you deserve."
"That's more like it..."
Lao Chen nodded. This was a truck that he cherished as if it were his life. He couldn't sleep if it was scratched, let alone the current state it was in.
"Old Chen, what you said is wrong. Yun Chen did this for all of us!"
The rest of the people saw it and realized something was wrong!
This is not how things should be calculated.
They immediately came in groups of three or four to plead for Lu Yunchen.
But Lao Chen refused to give in and insisted on making him compensate for his losses.
"Okay, thank you all for your kindness. I was the one who crashed the car, so I should pay for the damage, and I will pay for it. No questions asked!" Lu Yunchen spoke decisively.
Zhang Li refused, "Everyone can see how dangerous it was just now. If it weren't for Lu Yunchen's decisive idea, we would have to leave our car and goods to others, and we might even lose our lives. Can we still calculate whether the car is damaged or not? I won't do such a thing that would betray my conscience. In this way, I will take half of Brother Chen's losses. We can't let the hero down!"
"Yes, we can't let our savior down!"
Someone else stood up and said, "I also took part in the loss!"
"And me!"
"I'll take part, too!"
"Me too……"
“…”
Many people talked at once and expressed their willingness to contribute.
After a round of consultation, all the drivers except Lao Chen were willing to help Lu Yunchen.
This result made Lao Chen look particularly unhappy.
"Okay, okay, if you want to be heroes, go ahead! Anyway, I have to get back whatever I lost."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the car, ignoring everyone else.
After discussing for a while, they finally decided that as they had discussed before, the money for repairing the car and the loss of the goods would be paid by everyone together.
If everyone contributes a share and the loss is evenly split, it won't be that big.
Because Zhang Li and Lao Chen had a quarrel, when they got in the car and set off, Zhang Li said he was unwilling to drive in the same car with Lao Chen again.
There was no choice but to exchange positions with Lao Chen's nephew. However, the leading truck was also changed from Lao Chen's car to Wang Hongjun's truck.
After driving on the road, Wang Hongjun frowned and talked about what happened before.
He also pointed out something strange: "Captain, do you remember that you originally suggested that our car should lead the way, but Lao Chen refused. He said that he was an experienced driver and he was used to leading the way. I thought he was really capable, but in the end, it turned out like this.
Especially what Zhang Li said before, I think his words make a lot of sense.
It doesn't make sense that a veteran driver who is used to driving this road would be so frightened when he saw those carjackers appear. He can't even drive and deliberately let Zhang Li drive. I think there is something wrong with him. "
Lu Yunchen narrowed his eyes, "Do you think he is the... insider of those carjacking gangs?"
