Chapter 1: A Time From The Past

As soon as the car got off the highway, San Shun, who was sharp-eyed, found at a glance that the driver who just paid the money for the gas next to him, seemed to be the long-lost Boss Zhang. The man who disappeared with their hard-earned money.

Even though the man was wearing a disguise, he recognized him from the tone of his voice and manner of his speech. He pulled the other two, and shouted. “It’s Boss Zhang. He’s using a disguise.”

“Are you sure?” Wang Wei asked curiously.

“How do you know?” Xiao Yu looked questionably at San Shun, and asked.

“It’s him. I saw him. You two must believe me.”

“Ok, let’s follow him then. He must not escape us again.”

“We’ll collect our money today.”

After paying their own gas fare, Wang Wei stepped on the van’s accelerator, pursuing Boss Zhang’s Audi car.

.....

The Audi of boss Zhang was a good car with great performance, and there were not many cars on the road during this Chinese New Year festival, so, Boss Zhang was running at great speed.

Wang Wei continued to step on the accelerator, and the van continued to shoot forward with great speed too. Now, they could see the back of the Boss Zhang’s Audi car at a distance from them.

In a blink of an eye, the two vehicles shot into the mountainous area, one after the other. The road in the mountains had been damaged by the big carts that pulled mined ore over the years, and they hadn’t repaired it yet.

The asphalt road was no longer in great condition, but fortunately, it was still relatively fair for vehicles to use. Except for the occasional big potholes, it was fairly manageable to drive on.

On new Year’s Eve, the carts for pulling the mines were put out of service until the end of the festivals. Due to this, there were only a few cars on the road.

So, the Audi was speeding leisurely at the front, throwing up all the dust.

Seeing that the sky was going to darken soon, Xiao Yu’s anxious heart almost jumped out of his chest. “Faster.”

“Brother Wei, hurry up! Or that tortoise grandson will escape.” San Shun urged anxiously, staring at the back of the looming car in the smoke of fumes.

“Don’t worry, even if the van falls apart, I will catch up with him!”

As soon as Wang Wei replied them, everyone suddenly realized that the Audi car in front had started to decelerate, and was turning towards the gas station. At the same time, they turned on the turn signal and drove to a gas station not far ahead.

“Don’t rush to get out of the car. When we get closer, let’s check the situation first.” Wei said as he slowed down and leaned towards the gas station cautiously.

“Yes, let’s take a look to see if there are other people in the car first.” San Shun also said nervously. Probably because of excitement, his voice was trembling a little.

Gas stations in the mountains were not generally big, at least this one was quite small. There were only two gas pumps and a simple small supermarket at this gas station.

Because of the New Year, there were two large rows of gift boxes of various colors outside the supermarket, blocking the transparent glass of the supermarket, thereby making it impossible to see the inside from the outside.

In addition, there was an old motorcycle parked in front of the supermarket. No one inside the supermarket could even see a person in the entire gas station.

Boss Zhang honked the horn three times in the car, but no one came out. So casually, he said. “Damn, where is the person here.”f reewe bnovel

Pushing the car door, he rushed to the supermarket and shouted: “Is anyone here? Are you still open to business.”

Still no one responded.

Boss Zhang looked around for a while, and discovered that the whole place was empty. There was not even a dog. Only a broken van behind it slowly turned around from the road, maybe it was also here to buy fuel or something.

Wang Wei stared at the man who got off the bus, and found out that he was Boss Zhang. They had really found the right man they had been searching for all this days. Along with the others, he was very excited. Sure enough, it had been no goose chase.

While they were thinking about their next move, Boss Zhang suddenly glanced at their direction. Everyone of them became frightened, and immediately bowed their heads in a hurry.

Da Meng who sat in the co-driver’s frontier, didn’t pay attention to his seat positioning, and his forehead hit the car panel. He grimaced in pain as he slanted his head and asked Wei. “Damn. Did he see us?”

“No. You can calm down.” Wei shrank half of his neck, and peeked. He saw Boss Zhang walking towards the door of the supermarket. It seemed there was no one in the supermarket by the way he saw Boss Zhang slowly leaned in.

The van stopped side by side next to the Audi. Through the open window of the Audi, everyone saw that there was no other person in the car except a gift box, so they took a long deep sigh of reliefs.

Da Meng stared at the other two and said fiercely. ” Brother Wei, brother Shun, should we go in and apprehend Boss Zhang?”

“Wait. San Shun, check if there is a rope on the back seat.” Wei uttered, before turning his attention back to the entrance of the supermaket.

“Yes, there is also a pickaxe handle. I just bought it yesterday.”

“Okay. You take the rope, Da Meng, and I’ll hold the pickaxe handle, and you will tie this man up as soon as we block him.”

After the order, they all got out of the car, took the instruments and rushed to the supermarket!

Outside the supermarket, Boss Zhang shouted for a long time, but no one responded. He cursed and walked up and down the entrance of the supermarket. “Where are all the people? Is everyone dead?”

When he walked to the entrance of the supermarket, Boss Zhang raised a corner of the thick cotton curtain with his hands. As soon as he put his head in, he felt his chest tighten and he was lifted in! Then a soil gun was placed to his forehead.

“Don’t move! Raise your hand and put it behind your head.” Said a man wearing a motorcycle helmet in a hoarse voice.

“No, don’t shoot. I’m not here to take anything..” Boss Zhang was a little frightened by the sudden development. He hurriedly raised his hands, and glanced left and right with trembling lips!

There were four people in the supermarket. Two of them wearing motorcycle helmets should be members of a gang! There was also an old man and a beautiful girl, both tied with their hands to their backs and squatting on the ground. Their mouths were stuffed with towels to avoid them screaming.

At this time, another gang member came over, reached out his hand and started groping on Boss Zhang. He threw Boss Zhang’s wallet and mobile phone into the satchel hanging around his neck.

“Intruders!” The man with the gun shouted to the others as he suddenly saw three men rushing out of a van parked outside the supermarket through the gap in the glass window.

The guy with the gun in his hand was rushing towards the entrance to the supermarket. The two other gang members also ran towards the entrance door in shock.

The man with the gun didn’t forget to give Boss Zhang a barrel blow before he went out, and Boss Zhang fell on the ground like a big dead horse.

Wang Wei and the others were about to rush through the entrance of the supermarket when all of a sudden, the curtain parted and three men wearing helmets rushed out.

One of them pointed a short gun in his hand at the three friends. Wang Wei and his friends were shocked by the scenery in front of them. They didn’t know who these people were or what they were doing there, so they immediately stopped.

The three looked at each other. Wang Wei’s hand tightened on the handle of the pickaxe, preparing himself for a fight. But instead of the gang members to face them in a fight, they saw three men rushed to their motorcycle, and took off.

As soon as they stepped on the accelerator, the motorcycle spewed long exhaust gas in a high pitched scream.

“Thieves, stop them!” Boss Zhang rushed out with blood on his face, and went straight after the motorcycles, chasing after them.

Just after a few steps, he found a beer bottle spinning in the air towards him, flame blazing on its mouth.

Boss Zhang immediately dropped to the ground, and the bottle flew over his head, slightly rubbing his scalp.

Wang Wei and others were already chasing after Boss Zhang when he dropped to the ground, a fire-breathing bottle passing over his head and headed towards them.

The three immediately rolled away in different directions.

“Asshole, don’t you know that gas stations don’t play with fire?” San Shun shouted at the fleeing thieves as he got up from the ground.

“Fire!” The three screamed suddenly, realizing that the gas pump had started to burst into flames!

“Run!” The four of them crawled and ran away from the gas station!

Before they could run far enough, there was a loud “bang” from behind. Wang Wei felt his body shook as a shock wave mixed with debris smashed at him.

Wei opened his mouth wide and screamed, but he couldn’t hear his own voice! The surrounding sceneries spread out in his sight, little by little, like slow motion.

He saw Da Meng flying forward slowly, not far away from him, his limbs slowly drawing circles in the air.

A man was sent flying, farther away, fluttering slowly likewise. Judging from his clothes, Wang Wei deducted that person to be Boss Zhang.

Masses of fire rolled over and gradually overwhelmed everybody that was present. Wang Wei eyes suddenly became full of flashes of fire.

Slowly, the fire light brightened, and Wei who was being blinded by this strong white light, couldn’t open his eyes.

“Am I going to die?” Wang Wei slowly stretched his hands to his eyes, and then stretched them forward, trying to grab something. But there was nothing in front of him, only endless white light.

After a few seconds, his body slowly flew towards the white light. And before he knew it, everything became nothing. And his consciousness gradually disappeared.
