Chapter 123: What a Wonderful Day!

~17 min read 3,307 words

Listening to that woo-wah woo-wah sound, Zhou Yi couldn't help but want to laugh.

"There must really be an accident up ahead; the traffic police have arrived, and this bunch of smart alecks are panicking now!"

Zhou Yi said to the viewers in his livestream; at this moment, the phone Camera also captured those cars currently in the emergency lane, all of them anxious now.

They wanted to keep driving forward, but they didn't get far before stopping, because the emergency lane was also completely blocked.

There was no other way; the traffic police behind would catch up at any moment, so they could only try to cut into this lane.

But in such a situation, all the cars were jammed tight; where could there possibly be any gap?

On one side there was no gap, and on the other, they were trying to force their way in, with all kinds of honking sounds constant, mixed with cursing from people rolling down their car windows.

In this situation, never underestimate the traffic police comrades; even if they have to run, they will run to the front.

As for those occupying the emergency lane... well, they'll just be dealt with one by one; this month is going to be comfortable.

Perhaps the car in front moved forward a bit more to make the gap in the middle smaller, and with this Nudong, there was a tiny gap in the middle.

Of course, it was definitely not enough for the car next to it to get in, but it was a chance nonetheless, so Zhou Yi saw a smart aleck directly stuffing the front of their car inward.

While stuffing in, they were also honking the horn.

Although they didn't get much in, Zhou Yi was annoyed.

After telling the livestream that someone was trying to cut in, he tossed his phone aside, started the engine, and darted forward.

Although the other party couldn't get in at all even if he didn't move, to eliminate their idea in advance, he absolutely could not leave any opportunity in the middle!

Seeing Zhou Yi move forward, the cars behind followed suit, leaving no opportunity.

You were happy when you were occupying the emergency lane to drive, and now you want to cut in to avoid the penalty?

What are you thinking!

Only when Zhou Yi blocked the car trying to get in did he realize, eh, this smart aleck looks a bit familiar.

This car, it seems to be the one he encountered before getting on the expressway, the owner of the legendary Human Flesh Cutting In.

Eh, what a coincidence!

It should be that the other party also wanted to turn left onto the expressway earlier, but unfortunately, even after using the ultimate technique of "Human Flesh Cutting In," they didn't succeed.

So they could only go straight to the front to make a U-turn before getting on the expressway, which is why they were slightly slower than him.

But he was stuck in traffic, while others had caught up directly via the emergency lane.

This kind of person really can't change their nature; they wanted to cut in at the left-turn lane, and now that they are on the expressway occupying the emergency lane, they still want to cut in!

Seeing that the space was already very small and the other party was still trying to squeeze in, Zhou Yi didn't hold back and also pushed forward!

At the same time, the horn was also being pressed continuously.

The other party didn't dare to move anymore; if they moved again, they would completely scrape against him.

Inside the car, Lu Mingyu slapped the steering wheel hatefully and said, "Damn, would it kill this guy to let me in?"

The girlfriend beside him looked back and suddenly asked curiously, "Eh, Mingyu, look, that car seems to be the one we encountered earlier."

Is it? Lu Mingyu looked carefully through the rearview mirror; Four Circles, that driver, it really is!

"How is it him again..."

"What should we do, Mingyu? The traffic police behind should be here soon. If we get caught, that's six points and two hundred yuan!"

Two hundred yuan is a small matter, but losing six points is a bit painful.

After all, they were on the expressway, and the traffic police were right behind, so Lu Mingyu didn't dare to let his girlfriend get out to perform Human Flesh Cutting In.

"It's fine, watch my move. I really don't believe he actually dares to hit me. His car looks like a new car, but mine isn't."

This was also Lu Mingyu's experience from years of cutting in.

It's not that easy to tell a new car from an old one, but Lu Mingyu saw that the red ribbon on Zhou Yi's rearview mirror hadn't even been removed.

This thing is something dealerships always put on when you buy a car; you usually only see it on new cars.

And according to Lu Mingyu's experience, generally speaking, new car owners cherish their cars more and won't easily get into a road rage incident and cause a scrape.

Otherwise, the repair is a minor issue, but the resulting vehicle depreciation and such would be very annoying.

In short, it's a gamble; he has always liked to cut in, thinking that people who wait in line are a bit stupid.

Besides, when the traffic actually starts moving, it doesn't necessarily have to be in front of this car that he cuts in.

The vehicles in front finally started Nudong, but they didn't move much; Lu Mingyu seized the opportunity and jerked the steering wheel inward!

Then he heard a "bang," accompanied by the "beep-beep" sound of the vehicle, and the whole car body shook!

What's going on? Lu Mingyu looked at the rearview mirror; the other car's right headlight position had already hit the spot just behind his driver's side door.

Is this guy really sick? He's driving a new car, why can't he just let me in?

However, after pushing the door open and getting out, Lu Mingyu shouted, "Did you hit me on purpose? You stepped on the gas, didn't you? I heard it!"

Regardless of anything else, first, you have to look like you are in the right.

Setting aside the fact that I was cutting in, aren't you at fault too?

You clearly stepped on the gas to hit me; you are fully responsible.

Do you think it's absurd? It's normal; people driving the wrong way can still righteously flash their lights and honk their horns when you block them.

And they will tell you, I'm driving the wrong way, but that's for the sake of traffic flow!

If you don't let me pass, that will cause the whole road to be even more congested.

Anyway, they always have a reason.

Zhou Yi also got out of the car and, upon hearing this, asked strangely, "I was driving normally, you were in the emergency lane, and then you wanted to cut in, and the result is that it's my fault?"

"Who knew you were going to squeeze in? At such a short distance, how could I possibly brake in time?"

Anyway, I didn't intend to step on the gas to hit you.

This is what Lawyer Fang once taught: when driving on the road, facing people who cut you off, even if you really intend to retaliate and hit them, don't say it.

Just say you didn't brake in time, and don't mention anything else like stepping on the gas; the traffic police will naturally resolve it.

But if you say you intended to accelerate and crash into them, and then it is confirmed through Monitoring that you did it on purpose, then there will be trouble.

"What 'didn't brake in time'? I heard it clearly; you stepped on the gas right at that moment. Just wait, I'm telling you, you've gotten yourself into trouble."

After a pause, Lu Mingyu put on an "I'm doing this for your own good" expression and said, "Alright brother, let's stop arguing for now. What happened before was my fault. Now, just move aside and let me in, let's settle this privately."

"Otherwise, we're blocking the high-speed lane, and once the traffic police arrive, neither of us will come out well."

As he spoke, Lu Mingyu was already planning to take out money, cash.

He had just started driving, and one cannot livestream while driving, so the phone was left in the passenger seat. At this moment, Zhou Yi found the other person's words somewhat amusing.

Many experienced drivers often bully novices, seizing the initiative by being aggressive, claiming that you bear the primary responsibility.

Then they say, "Let's settle this privately; you see, involving the traffic police is troublesome and bad for everyone."

The result is that you believe the seemingly easy-going guy on the other side, accept the money they give, and it's even cash.

Once that's done, they turn around and report you for a hit-and-run. What? Settling privately?

"Produce the evidence! Who settled privately with you? It was clearly you who fled immediately after seeing the accident happen."

Hit-and-run—regardless of whether it was originally your responsibility, it is now.

This method is ineffective against drivers with even a little experience or a bit of brains, but the problem is, many people driving don't have brains...

Zhou Yi was, of course, not intimidated, and he did not take the other person's money, only saying, "Let's wait for the traffic police. I just called them, they should be here soon."

"If the traffic police arrive and I am at fault, then I will accept the penalty; points deduction and fines are no problem."

This was something Zhou Yi had thought of during his previous Legal Aid process.

As long as I am not afraid of being penalized, and as long as I obediently admit it when I make a mistake, then I am directly in an invincible position.

It is not as if he hadn't done things like "killing a thousand enemies while suffering a million in losses" before.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyu's eyes widened. It was his first time seeing a guy who kept saying "If I'm wrong, I'll accept the penalty" on his lips.

"No, brother, why do you have to be like this? Why do you want to be penalized? We are settling privately right now, and no one will know what happens."

"Look, I'll give you more money. What happened before was indeed my fault, and I apologize to you. Why can't you just listen to me?"

Lu Mingyu was already on the verge of a breakdown; the guy in front of him was like a rock, completely impervious to reason!

No matter how he tried to persuade him, he wouldn't agree, insisting on waiting for the traffic police to handle it as they saw fit.

The flow of traffic stopped once again because the road ahead was still blocked; there was no way around it, as the traffic police were all stuck behind.

Moreover, since a scrape had occurred here, many drivers from the cars behind had gotten out.

However, what everyone was saying was all over the place.

Some told the two to hurry up and settle privately, saying that for such a small accident, if they didn't clear the road quickly, they wouldn't get any good results once the traffic police arrived.

Others said it was better to wait for the traffic police, as settling privately without an agreement or evidence meant the other party could go back on their word whenever they wanted.

Never think that modern people are very honest; you can know a person's face but not their heart. You treat them with sincerity, but what about them?

With the support of many fellow drivers, Lu Mingyu still couldn't persuade the Zhou Yi in front of him.

"Fine, you won't move, right? Okay, kid, if you've got guts, leave your name. I'm telling you, this matter today is not over!" Lu Mingyu reached out and pointed at Zhou Yi's nose.

A driver behind advised, "No need, really no need. It's just such a small matter, young man, just let him in. Otherwise, it really won't be good if something happens."

Zhou Yi, however, said, "Oh? Not over? No problem, no problem. My name is Zhou Yi, I live at Building 2, Unit 1, Yuefu Residential Quarter, Guangming District. You are welcome to come!"

"By the way, if you can't find me when you go, feel free to ask around. Whether it's the residents or Property Management, they probably all know me. It's no problem."

Hmm... hmm?

Lu Mingyu couldn't get a word out; he was directly choked up.

His original intention was just to use threats to force the other party to move aside.

Previously, in the left-turn lane, this guy had claimed to have congenital heart disease, but now, he was actually inviting him to come and cause trouble.

Although Lu Mingyu was young, his colorful hair and the large tattoos covering his arms still looked quite intimidating.

When he put on a fierce face to intimidate people, many had been scared off.

But he absolutely never expected that someone would be this brave!

He had directly reported his home address in front of so many people.

Is this person crazy?

Not to mention Lu Mingyu, even the drivers who were trying to persuade them couldn't hold it together anymore.

This person's head seemed to have some problems...

Lu Mingyu didn't know what to say anymore. He dared to make threats, but if you asked him to actually go to someone's house to do something... he didn't really dare.

Zhou Yi didn't pay any more attention to the other party. "I bet your gun has no bullets in it. Look, I won."

Tattoos, it's not like he hadn't seen them before. Lao Song greeted him every day now, and if there was anything, he would call out in the group, and he would run over quickly to help.

Returning to the car and picking up the phone, the livestream was still on, and the audience in the livestream room was beyond furious!

"Is this your attitude toward livestreaming? Even those who fish for three days and dry nets for two are better than this. Are you just fooling ghosts?"

"Just this little bit, who is this enough for? If the foreigners next door saw this, they'd think we look down on them!"

"I want to see the follow-up! The follow-up! What exactly happened to those 'smart' people? If I can't see it, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"

*Snap! * Zhou Yi hurriedly turned off the livestream. It was better to just film a video.

"What happened on your end? A scrape?"

Traffic police officer Lao Peng rode over on his motorcycle. He had received the call and was here to handle this small scrape first.

The situation ahead was more complicated; it seemed to be a rear-end collision.

Someone was driving at a turtle's pace on the highway, and when they reached the exit ramp, they almost missed it, so they stopped the car, preparing to turn in.

As a result, the car behind couldn't brake in time and slammed right into them.

One hitting another, a major accident involving a seven-car pileup, completely blocking all three lanes.

Traffic police are also very troubled by this situation of people driving at a turtle's pace on the highway, not to mention stopping on the highway without authorization.

Every time he encounters this, he has to spend a lot of effort explaining that on the highway, one shouldn't always assume that a rear-end collision is the other party's responsibility.

You cannot just stop your car on the highway!

By comparison, a minor scrape like the one Zhou Yi had is truly just a small matter.

"Officer, look, I had an urgent matter today, so I wanted to merge in, but he just stepped on the gas and crashed into my car."

"I even heard him stepping on the gas, it was very obvious!"

As for what it means for the villain to complain first, this is not the first time Zhou Yi has witnessed such a thing.

But he still waited for the other party to finish speaking before saying: "Officer, I was driving normally, and he tried to perform a Human Flesh Cutting In from the emergency lane, and then we collided."

Lao Peng carefully inspected the scene, then looked at Lu Mingyu and said: "Emergency lane?"

"No, officer, I, I really had an urgent matter today..."

"Just because you have an urgent matter, you can use the emergency lane? If that were the case, everyone would have urgent matters, so what would be the point of traffic laws?" Lao Peng said with a dark face.

He understands the way these people think all too well.

Whenever there is a traffic jam on the highway, they want to take the emergency lane, and then even the emergency lane gets blocked, causing ambulances and police cars behind them to be unable to get through.

"Also, what do you mean he stepped on the gas? Do you realize you were forcing a merge?"

"I know, I know that merging was wrong, but he shouldn't have just crashed into me, right? Isn't what he did illegal? Can he just crash into me like that?"

Lao Peng had already taken the Photo and, upon hearing this, said again: "Alright, the other party didn't crash into you on purpose; he just didn't brake in time because the distance was too small and you were forcing your way in. You are fully at fault!"

"Don't give me any useless talk. Do you think you're fine just because you wanted to merge in? First, move your car off his."

Lu Mingyu felt helpless; he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today and had run into such a problematic person!

Just at this moment, Zhou Yi saw traffic police walking up along the emergency lane behind them, issuing tickets one by one.

Those "smart alecks" all looked as if their parents had died.

But there were still some "smart alecks" who had already merged into the lane; however, it didn't matter, as Zhou Mouren had already opened the traffic management department's app.

He had high-definition photos captured by a high-definition camera!

In addition, there was also the Human Flesh Cutting In by that "energetic youth" earlier; he would report them together, done!

After finishing the report, Zhou Yi took out his phone, filmed the wonderful scene of them being issued tickets one by one, and then simply edited it into a short video and uploaded it.

The title was: A beautiful day!

Life during the three-day holiday

The day before the holiday: Jiu Jian wants to have a good burst of productivity over the three days, wants to change to a good map, and wants to grasp the rhythm well!

The first day of the holiday: Short videos, reading novels, slacking off, writing a tiny bit of text; this won't do, Jiu Jian, you need to man up! You need to make money!

The second day of the holiday: Short videos, reading novels, slacking off, writing a tiny bit of text; Jiu Jian, oh Jiu Jian, how can you be so degenerate? Have you forgotten the burst plan you set earlier? The Master says: I examine myself three times a day; I cannot go on like this!

The third day of the holiday: Short videos, reading novels, slacking off, drifting...

In summary, holidays make people degenerate. Today, Jiu Jian swears a poisonous oath: if I don't reach sixteen thousand words, I curse myself to be short by eighteen centimeters!
