271 Why is There a Network Jammer In The Car?

They were on the outskirts of the city and the sky had already turned dark, resulting in very few vehicles on the road. No one knew how long would it take to clear the route again and if they waited any longer, they would surely miss their flight back home.

Wu Zhang who was sitting in the back seat, his head leaned against it, and eyes closed to rest for a while, opened them with a small frown on his forehead after hearing Li Jing's words. He looked ahead to see the car overturned in the middle of the road, probably after smashing against the truck. He frowned as he found it be slightly strange but at that moment, from all the fatigue, he could not exactly point out what felt so strange in it.

"I can take you through the forest route," suggested the driver who was assigned along with the car to them by the branch head of their company in F City. "It is the shortest route other than this one."

"Drive then." Wu Zhang ordered and the driver immediately reversed the car to take another route that went through the forest area. Wu Zhang pulled out his phone to give Song Jia a call when he realized that there was still no network. It was strange that both, he and Li Jing had lost their network right after getting into the car and had still not received any signal yet.

The car drove further into the forest when Wu Zhang's low voice rang out in the car again. "Stop the car."

"Is there a problem Mr. Wu?" Asked the driver.

"Boss does not need to answer you. Just do as you are told. Stop the car." LI Jing ordered the man.

The driver looked confused but nevertheless stopped it at the side, before Wu Zhang calmly stepped out. He then walked over to the driver's seat, opened the door of the car and dragged the driver out by his collar, and threw a punch on the man's nose, making the man cry in pain.

Li Jing hurriedly climbed out as well and heard Wu Zhang growl at the man, "Why is there a network jammer in the car?!" He lifted his hand to reveal a mini-network jammer in his palm and the driver's eyes grew wide in fear after being caught. It was very coincidental that Wu Zhang's eyes had fallen onto it.

Wu Zhang gave the driver who looked to be in his early thirties another punch which made him scream in pain before he staggered on the ground, falling right on his butt. Li Jing immediately rushed towards them and kicked the driver in the gut. 

"Please let me go. I don't know anything!" Before Li Jing could hit him again, the driver begged as he wiped the blood trickling down his nostril.

Li Jing squatted down next to the driver on his heels and grabbed the collar of his white uniform that had red bloodstains on it now, and howled, "Why did you put the jammer in here? Are you working for someone?"

The jammer was not something anyone could afford. It was used in the military and for an outsider to get their hands on it it would cost a lot more than just money and the driver had neither.

"I— I don't know anything. I am a poor man and I was paid thirty thousand yuans to put that thing in here and take you to the airport through this route. I am not aware of anything else!" He blurted out everything he knew in the fear of being hit again. "I don't even know what that thing is."

"Who asked you to do it?"

"I don't know their name. A masked man came to me and offered the money. I got swayed and agreed to do it. Please let me go."

From the looks of it, both Li Jing and Wu Zhang agreed that the driver didn't seem to be lying. Li Jing punched the driver once more before he stood back. "Boss if this is really all planned then we need to hurry and get out of here. We don't know what awaits us next."

With that said, Li Jing jumped into the driver's seat, and Wu Zhang also got inside. But before Li Jing could even turn the car around, a series of cars from both directions came into their view, leaving them no escape. 

"Pull out the guns." Wu Zhang ordered and Li Jing immediately opened the glove case to pull out a pistol and passed it to Wu Zhang and then he took one for himself. Once they loaded it, they got out of the car and ran towards the forest.

They saw burly men with guns in their hands, chasing after them, and soon bullets were fired. Li Jing who was behind turned around and halted for a short second, and then shot the closest man in his leg. 

"Don't waste your bullets unnecessarily, they are too many. We need to make a run," Wu Zhang said. But just then they saw a man covering the distance between them and this time Wu Zhang took the hit, without pausing; and straight on his forehead.
