Chapter 152 Waking Up in the Middle of the Night



“That won’t do. You only slept for a little while, and it will take us longer to hunt wolves.”

"Why don't you sleep a little longer, just two more hours?"

Old Cheng was displeased upon hearing this. Jiang Tiecheng's abilities made him realize that he could rest here for the entire night.

Although the chances of encountering two groups of wolves in one night are probably slim, it's still best to be prepared.

Let's let this guardian spirit rest for a while.

What's wrong with sleeping a little less?

"Master Cheng, you'll be driving during the day tomorrow. If you don't get enough rest tonight, you could be in danger on the road tomorrow."

"You should go to sleep. It's okay, I can catch up on sleep during the day tomorrow."

Jiang Tiecheng was speaking from the heart. After all, driving these days is a skill, and it's not like you can just drive any car on the road anymore.

The bumpy roads and unexpected road conditions rely on the driver's experience and personal adaptability.

Jiang Tiecheng couldn't very well drive in Lao Cheng's place now; that would make him seem like he was overstepping his bounds.

Just as Lao Cheng was about to argue his point, a leisurely voice came from behind him.

"You two should rest for a while!"

I've rested well, so it's my turn to keep watch.

"You two will both be asleep in the middle of the night, I promise I'll stay alert and keep a close eye on things."

Xiao Liu threw down his military overcoat, climbed from the back seat to the front, and said to Jiang Tiecheng.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you can go to the back to sleep."

He said in a slightly ingratiating tone,

"It'll be warmer if you put on your military overcoat. Don't worry, I'll take care of you for the rest of the night."

Old Cheng couldn't help but smile when he saw this. This kid, Liu, is trying to curry favor with them.

"Yes, since Xiao Liu is on night watch, let's both rest for a while and get some good rest so we can set off safely tomorrow."

Since Xiao Liu has already built his own ladder, I naturally have to give him a way out.

Jiang Tiecheng smiled.

Just because no one else cowered in the car to avoid the risk, Xiao Liu was willing to befriend him. After all, he was just a bit sharp-tongued, but he was a good person.

"Master Cheng, you can go to the back to sleep. The back seat is more spacious and you can stretch out. I'll just take a nap in the seat."

Upon hearing this, Old Cheng...

"Okay, then I'll go to the back and take a nap. With you two here, I can sleep soundly until dawn."

"With the two of you with me this time, it's the easiest business trip I've ever had."

Old Cheng didn't refuse at all. He simply flipped over to the back seat, covered himself with his military overcoat, and comfortably dozed off.

Xiao Liu quickly got into the driver's seat.

"You can sleep next to me. It's a little cramped, but you can still curl up and sleep for a while."

Seeing Jiang Tiecheng's abilities, Xiao Liu suddenly felt a bit more confident.

Meeting Jiang Tiecheng was something I never expected. I never imagined that this young master who supposedly got in through connections would be so capable!

This was the first time he had ever seen someone who could fight wolves.

From now on, the three of them working together will be a perfect match. No matter what we're delivering, we won't be afraid on the road.

What are those highway robbers and bandits anyway?

If you can deal with wolves, why can't you deal with humans?

Xiao Liu excitedly poked her little hands.

Jiang Tiecheng nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, then I'll take a nap."

Jiang Tiecheng slumped into his seat and fell asleep, soon his snoring could be heard.

Xiao Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that Jiang Tiecheng would hold a grudge against him.

After all, there were those words and that attitude he had just used.

If this happened to an ordinary person, they would definitely hold a grudge against themselves.

I didn't expect that although they got in through connections, they were actually a really nice person. They didn't mind at all and were so generous, which made my previous attitude seem a bit petty.

Xiao Liu's eyes held a hint of pride, and he was delighted that he had unexpectedly encountered such a precious gem.

With Jiang Tiecheng around, it's less likely to make mistakes when leaving the warehouse, and the danger on the road is also reduced.

You should know that they deliver goods every month.

The attrition rate is quite high; even if no one dies, injuries are commonplace.

But with Jiang Tiecheng around, the risk of me getting injured later is probably much lower.

I bet if my mother found out, she'll have to put up a longevity tablet for Jiang Tiecheng at home.

Xiao Liu, looking quite energetic, sat upright in his seat, clutching the axe in his hand, watching his surroundings warily and listening intently to any sounds.

I expect everything will be fine tonight.

Around 2 a.m., Xiao Liu finally couldn't hold on any longer and started nodding off like a chick pecking at rice.

This is the time of day when people are most relaxed, and also the time when they are most tired.

Just then, Jiang Tiecheng, who was sleeping next to him, suddenly sat up.

He stared warily outside, straining his ears, for he had heard some unusual noises.

Jiang Tiecheng patted Xiao Liu, who opened his eyes with a start.

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Tiecheng put a finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.

Suddenly, Xiao Liu heard the sound of boxes being moved behind him.

Xiao Liu was startled and quickly pointed behind him.

Jiang Tiecheng leaned over and patted Lao Cheng, who instantly woke up.

Is this the car?

"That's right, by the way, remember to unload 200 boxes of spare parts from the truck."

"Alright, don't worry, the six of us brothers can't have come all this way for nothing, we definitely won't leave empty-handed."

"Remember, make sure to break both of that security officer's legs, but don't kill him."

"That's for sure, don't worry, we'll never make a mistake in the things you've entrusted to us."

"Please wait patiently."

Ma Kui sat smugly in the jeep.

This time, they used a jeep and two horse-drawn carriages to transport an extra 200 boxes of parts.

He had specifically sought out this group of people to get here, and based on the route map, he guessed that they definitely couldn't travel at night.

Unexpectedly, they actually caught up with us in that short time.

If it weren't for the darkness, he would have been able to see more than a dozen wolves lying on the road in front of the car by now. Unfortunately, it was too dark, and there was no moon tonight.

It really was a dark and stormy night for murder.

Having covered everything up, Ma Kui brought more than a dozen men with him.

These people were not the same henchmen from Ma Kui's factory back then. They were all thugs from the streets, trained in martial arts, and had some skill in fighting.

This was because Ma Kui specifically sought out these thugs under his cousin's command.

There was no way around it; Jiang Tiecheng's performance at the factory last time had completely stunned everyone.

Ma Kui also knew that without making a huge sacrifice, he probably wouldn't be able to get this done.

The two leaders of the gang he hired were considered big shots in their county.

One person could easily take on a dozen people with their bare hands.

This was a good helper that Ma Kui specifically reminded his cousin to find for him.

It also reminded the other party that Jiang Tiecheng was agile and had trained to be extremely strong.

The other party was prepared.
