Chapter 517: Sealing the Bridge and Intercepting!
Several helicopters converged on the outskirts of Jin Ling and chased fiercely toward the outside of the province, narrowing the distance to the target bit by bit.
The other party's Iveco could only stop and go on the national highway, frequently 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. National highways are open roads and connect various rural and county roads, so it would be 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 areas, 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 traffic jams, 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 expected that we will catch up with them in another thirty minutes."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Can you contact the Ye family's influence in the local area and let them help us seal the road 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 seal the bridge after they pass, not allowing other vehicles to enter, 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 is a good idea. Just do as you say!"
Soon, two convoys of 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 convoys were also arranged by Chen Zekai.
Each convoy consisted of more than 20 engineering trucks fully loaded with slag.
Any truck, when fully loaded, weighed forty or fifty tons.
A heavy tank would only weigh about that much.
Such a car, if it just lay across the road, no car could crash through it.
What's more, there were more than 20 cars at each end. Even a tank wouldn't be able to rush through.
Liu Zhaochen's brother drove the car, preparing to get on the bridge. Liu Zhaochen said with a smile, "After crossing this river-crossing bridge, we will be almost in Suzhou and Hangzhou!"
"Great!" Liu Zhaochen's sister said happily, "After getting the money today, we can go to the Maldives tomorrow! I just studied it. The Maldives has a visa-on-arrival, so we don't need to apply for a visa in advance. We can just buy tickets and fly there tomorrow."
Liu Zhaochen's brother drove while saying in surprise, "Why are there suddenly so many big trucks?"
Everyone looked out the window and saw heavy trucks fully loaded with slag on both sides.
Liu Zhaochen said casually, "They must be delivering materials to some construction site. Don't worry about them, let's hurry and overtake them."
The Iveco quickly accelerated and overtook the engineering convoy.
Immediately after, the engineering convoy behind began to have several big trucks driving side by side, directly blocking the road behind, making it impossible for other vehicles behind to pass.
When the Iveco got on the bridge, the engineering convoy driving side by side had also driven onto the bridge.
However, as soon as the engineering convoy got on the bridge, they collectively turned off their engines and stopped, blocking the entire bridge entrance so tightly that no other vehicles could pass.
The drivers behind saw this and immediately got out of their cars to see what was happening, their emotions somewhat angry.
At this time, someone got off the engineering convoy, took a megaphone, and shouted to the back, "We just received a notice from the higher-ups that this bridge has become a dangerous bridge and is at risk of collapsing at any time. Now we need to hurry up and repair it. 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 idea of cursing, and the unhappiness in their hearts vanished.
With so many engineering vehicles parked here, they did not doubt what the other party said.
So, they were all very lucky now. What they were lucky about was that they had been following behind the engineering vehicles. If they were in front of the convoy, wouldn't they have driven onto this dangerous bridge too?
So everyone turned around on the spot and took a detour from other roads.
Liu Zhaochen's brother drove to the middle of the bridge, looked back through the rearview mirror for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Why are there no cars behind?"
Liu Zhaochen looked back and said, "Maybe they were blocked by those big trucks. Big trucks run slowly."
"That's possible too," Liu Zhaochen's brother said, and then stopped worrying about it and continued driving.
Just as they were about to cross the bridge, several big 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 have time to react, were swaying from side to side for a while.
After the car stopped steadily, Liu Zhaochen discovered with surprise that the road in front of the car had been completely blocked by several big trucks, and there was not a single car behind.
In other words, the Iveco they were riding in was completely sealed on this bridge.
However, at this time, he did not mean that he was facing a disaster.
So he pushed the car door open and went down, shouting at the big trucks parked in front, "Hey! What the hell are you guys doing? Hurry up and move the road!"
A burly man jumped off one of the big trucks and said coldly, "This bridge has been closed. From now on, no vehicles or people are allowed to pass!"
Liu Zhaochen said angrily, "The cars in front have all passed, and we are 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 the bridge!
The burly man scolded loudly, "Stop talking nonsense to me, damn it. I said no vehicles or people are allowed to pass. If you are not afraid of death, you can try!"
Having said that, more than 30 people wearing safety helmets came down from behind, each one very fierce, looking murderous.
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 was a disabled person. In this situation, how could they be the opponents of 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?"
Having said that, 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 back directly.
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 driving toward them.
These trucks were tightly packed together, without even a gap for a bicycle to pass, and they were coming 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? Could it be that we've been exposed?"
"Impossible!" Liu Zhaochen said firmly, "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 is clearly something fishy here!"
