Chapter 517: Blocking the Bridge for Interception!
Several helicopters converged outside Jin Ling and chased fiercely toward the outside of the province, narrowing the distance to the target bit by bit.
That Iveco of the other party could only stop and go on the national highway, often encountering traffic lights or traffic jams, and the overall speed could not be increased at all.
The reason Liu Zhaochen chose the national highway instead of the highway was mainly because highways are closed roads; if they were targeted by the police, they would have no wings to fly.
But the national highway was different; it was an open road and connected to various rural and county roads, making it very difficult for the police to set up checkpoints to block them.
And once any problem occurred, they could abandon the car and flee at any time; rural fields, residential neighborhoods, and even factory construction sites were all good places to hide!
This left Ye Chen with enough opportunities for pursuit.
The helicopter was in the sky, needing no pauses and having no detours or congestion, with a flight speed of over 200 kilometers per hour.
After flying continuously for more than an hour, Ye Chen's position was only one hundred kilometers away from the target.
Chen Zekai said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, their current average speed is only forty or fifty kilometers per hour. It is estimated that we will catch up to them in another thirty minutes."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Can you contact the Ye family's influence in the local area and have them block the road for us in advance? I want to catch them like turtles in a jar."
Chen Zekai immediately looked at the real-time location sent by Hong Wu and said, "There is a river-crossing bridge on the national highway ahead. I will have people block the bridge after they pass, not allowing other vehicles to get on, and then wait until they are about to cross the river to block the other end as well. That way, they won't be able to escape."
Ye Chen said with satisfaction, "This idea is good. Just do as you say!"
Soon, two fleets of dump trucks fully loaded with slag set off from the construction sites of two real estate projects on both sides of the river.
The construction sites they were at were all projects of a real estate development company under the Ye family.
These two fleets were also arranged by Chen Zekai.
Each fleet consisted of more than 20 engineering trucks fully loaded with slag.
Any single truck, when fully loaded, weighed forty or fifty tons.
Even a heavy tank would only weigh this much.
Such a vehicle, if parked across the road, no car could crash through it.
What's more, there were more than 20 vehicles at each end; even a tank wouldn't be able to charge through.
Liu Zhaochen's brother drove the car and prepared to get on the bridge. Liu Zhaochen said with a smile, "After crossing this river-crossing bridge, we'll be almost in Suzhou and Hangzhou!"
"Great!" Liu Zhaochen's sister said happily, "After we get the money today, we can go to the Maldives tomorrow! I just researched it; the Maldives has visa-on-arrival, so we don't need to apply for a visa in advance. We can just buy tickets and fly over tomorrow."
Liu Zhaochen's brother was driving while saying in surprise, "Why are there suddenly so many big trucks?"
Everyone looked out the window and saw heavy dump trucks fully loaded with slag on both sides.
Liu Zhaochen said casually, "They must be delivering materials to some construction site. Never mind them, let's hurry and overtake them."
The Iveco accelerated quickly and overtook the engineering fleet.
Immediately afterward, the engineering fleet behind began to have several large trucks driving side-by-side, directly blocking the road behind and making it impossible for other vehicles behind to pass.
When the Iveco got on the bridge, the engineering fleet driving side-by-side also drove onto the bridge.
However, as soon as the engineering fleet got on the bridge, they collectively turned off their engines and stopped, blocking the entire entrance of the bridge so tightly that no other vehicles could pass.
The drivers behind saw this and immediately got out of their cars to see what had happened, their emotions somewhat angry.
At this time, someone got off the engineering fleet, took a megaphone, and shouted to the people behind, "We just received instructions from our superiors that this bridge has become a dangerous bridge and is at risk of collapse at any time. We need to seize the time to rush repairs now. For everyone's safety, please take a detour. Thank you for your cooperation."
These drivers originally wanted to curse, but upon hearing this, they immediately dismissed the thought, and the unhappiness in their hearts vanished.
With so many engineering vehicles parked here, they didn't doubt what the other party said.
Therefore, they were all very fortunate now. What they were fortunate about was that they had been following behind the engineering vehicles. If they had been in front of the fleet, wouldn't they have driven onto this dangerous bridge too?
So everyone turned around on the spot and took a detour from another road.
Liu Zhaochen's brother drove to the middle of the bridge, looked in the rearview mirror for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Why are there no cars behind us?"
Liu Zhaochen looked back and said, "Maybe they were blocked by those big trucks. Big trucks run slowly."
"That's possible." Liu Zhaochen's brother said, and then he didn't take it to heart and continued driving.
Just as they were about to cross the bridge, several large trucks suddenly poured in from both sides, directly blocking the road ahead completely!
Liu Zhaochen's brother was startled, hurriedly slammed on the brakes, and blurted out, "Damn, are these people driving big trucks crazy?"
Others in the car, because they didn't react in time, were swaying from side to side for a while.
After the car stopped steadily, Liu Zhaochen discovered in surprise that the road in front of the car had been completely blocked by several large trucks, and there wasn't a single car behind them.
In other words, the Iveco they were riding in was completely sealed on this bridge.
However, at this time, he didn't realize that his disaster was imminent.
So he pushed open the car door, got out, and roared at the big trucks parked in front, "Hey! What the hell are you people doing? Hurry up and move the road!"
A burly man jumped off one of the big trucks and said coldly, "This bridge is closed. From now on, no vehicles or people are allowed to pass!"
Liu Zhaochen said angrily, "The cars in front have already passed; we're the only ones who haven't. If you want to close it, wait until we pass before closing it."
He didn't know that the reason for closing this bridge was to seal him on it!
The burly man scolded loudly, "Stop talking nonsense to me. I said, no vehicles or people are allowed to pass. If you're not afraid of death, you can try!"
As he spoke, more than 30 people wearing safety helmets came down from behind, each of them very fierce, looking ferocious.
Liu Zhaochen's group had only seven people in total. His mother and sister were women with no strength to truss a chicken, his father was an old man, and he himself was a disabled person. In this situation, how could they be a match for these 30-plus people?
So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, then we'll turn around and go back to take another road, that's okay, right?"
As he spoke, he got back into the car and said to his brother beside him, "Let's turn around!"
"Good!" Liu Zhaochen's brother immediately turned the car around and drove straight back.
But what he didn't expect was that after turning around and driving back, before they had driven a few steps, they saw a large group of heavy trucks coming toward them from the opposite direction.
These trucks were tightly packed together, not even leaving a gap for a bicycle to pass, and they came toward them aggressively.
Liu Zhaochen's brother hurriedly stopped the car and said in surprise, "What the hell is going on? Why does it feel like these big trucks are deliberately trying to sandwich us in the middle? Are we exposed?"
"Impossible!" Liu Zhaochen said decisively, "Even if we were exposed, the ones intercepting us should be police officers, not big trucks from a construction site!"
His brother said with great worry, "Zhaochen, I think there's clearly something fishy here!" ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
