“We should get going. Goodbye, Willis.” After finishing their meal, Chen Zhao walked up and hugged Willis.

“Oh, let me give you my number. If you encounter any trouble on your way, call me,” Willis said.

Although they could call 911 too, the operator would still redirect the call to him. Calling him straight would save them a lot of time.

“Trouble? He’s not afraid of trouble.” Fali glanced at Chen Zhao.

She knew how strong Chen Zhao was.

For example, just a few days ago, he had beaten a boxer up.

Faur had told her about it. The boxer had beaten Chen Zhao’s student up.

Then Chen Zhao took revenge in the same way.

Willis smiled and glanced at Chen Zhao. Somewhat skinny and wearing decent clothes, Chen Zhao did not look like he could fight.

Nevertheless, men always enjoyed boasting before their women. Willis was not going to expose Chen Zhao here.

“Have a nice trip,” Willis said.

...

In the car park outside the rest area, there was an old Ford Mustang. A man was in the car, drinking some alcohol and looking at the RV not far away.

“Boss, we found a prey. Activate the interference there and change the road sign. We’ll follow them.”

“How many people are there?”

“Three, an Asian and two women. The two women are really beautiful.” The man wiped his saliva, his eyes glowing with lust.

Just then, the RV moved. The man immediately started the car and followed it.

...

Meanwhile, Chen Zhao realized that the GPS screen was not changing.

“Fali, come and take a look at the GPS. I think it’s malfunctioning.”

Fali walked up and checked it. “Indeed, it shows that we’re still at the rest area. Why would the GPS on such an advanced vehicle malfunction?”

“Even military navigation systems can fail. The quality of the vehicle is irrelevant.”

“Do you want me to drive?” Fali asked.

“No, there are road signs anyway. I can read.”

Just then, they saw the road ahead split into two. Chen Zhao checked the road sign and changed their lane.

“Chen, I think you made a mistake. It’s not this way.”

“Didn’t the road sign point here?”

“Is it?” Fali looked at the road sign who had already passed. It seemed to be pointing in their direction. “Never mind, keep driving. If it’s wrong, we can turn back.”

...

Just as Willis walked out from the burger restaurant, his phone rang.

But when he picked up the call, he realized that there was only a cacophony of noises. He could not hear what the other person was saying.

Willis tried to call the person back, but it was still noises.

“What happened? An interference?”

Willis suddenly recalled that during his conversation with the HQ earlier, he was told that the gang on the road would use signal interference to misdirect unaware drivers.

Nevertheless, their signal interference device was not military and could cover at most ten kilometers.

Willis thought about it. There had not been any interference on his way here, so the source must be ahead.

He immediately boarded his car and drove toward the northwest.

After a few kilometers, Willis saw a road sign.

It was clearly wrong. Willis knew at once that the wrong road sign had probably been placed by the gang to misdirect passing drivers.

...

“This road is definitely not correct.”

Actually, even without Fali’s reminder, Chen Zhao would have realized it by now.

They had already driven into the wilderness. The road was in poor conditions and, with only two lanes, was rather narrow.

Because of that, it was difficult to turn around.

“Chen, have you realized that a car has been following us?”

Chen Zhao also noticed the old Ford Mustang a few meters behind them.

He could smell something fishy. “Ask Faur to come down from the roof and close it. If something happens later, stay in the van.”

“Chen, you mean it’s a trap?”

“Very likely,” Chen Zhao nodded.

Fali took out her phone and tried to call the police, but it was unsuccessful.

“Can you not make a call?”

“My phone has full signal, but it just doesn’t work.”

“It’s fine. Don’t leave the van later. Just leave it to me.”

Faur also walked down from the roof. “Chen, what happened?”

“Nothing,” Chen Zhao said lightly, “we took the wrong path.”

Just then, the expected roadblocks finally appeared.

A few logs lay on the road, blocking the path.

The car behind also followed them closely and blocked their route of retreat. They could not even turn around.

Suddenly, about a dozen people appeared from the mounds by the road.

Their leader was a bald man. He had a big beard and was wearing a gray vest.

“Come out. Everyone on the van, come out now!” the bearded bald man shouted.

“Chen, what do we do?” Faur was horrified.

“Nothing, it’s safe in the van. As long as we don’t leave the van, they can’t do anything to us.”

The RV and its glasses were all bulletproof. It was clearly impossible for them to threaten the people in the van with just the sticks they had.

Even if they had iron rods, they would probably need a century to break the windows.

Just then, police sirens were heard from behind.

Chen Zhao, Fali and Faur realized that it was Willis’ police car.

The three were delighted, thinking that danger was over.

However, they clearly underestimated how fierceness of the gangsters. The bald man suddenly took out a shotgun and fired at Willis’ car.

Bang!

The car hood flew out at once and the police car smashed into a rock on the roadside.

Chen Zhao frowned. The gang was more ferocious and dangerous that he thought.

It was hard to imagine how such gangsters could even exist here.

Just then, Chen Zhao saw a gangster walk toward the RV with a barrel of gasoline.

“If you still don’t open the door, we’ll burn the van!” the bald man shouted.

“Chen, what do we do?!” Fali looked at Chen Zhao in fear.

“Don’t worry, I’m here. I’ll go out and talk to them,” Chen Zhao said.

“Don’t go out. They’re all brutal butchers!” Fali pulled Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao shook his head. “We don’t have a choice. After I go out, close the door immediately.”

Chen Zhao opened the door and the automatic ladder extended.

He strolled down the steps and immediately asked Fali to close the door.

A gangster attempted to prevent the door from closing, but Chen Zhao kicked him away right away.

Then, the bald man dragged Willis, now covered in blood, in front of Chen Zhao.

Willis looked miserable, but his life was actually not at risk. He was mainly injured from the collision.

The bald man hit Willis’ head with the stock and then pointed at shotgun at Chen Zhao.

“Ask them to open the door.”

“How much do you want? I can give you money,” Chen Zhao said.

“I want not just money, but also the two beautiful women inside,” the bald man said.

Chen Zhao’s stare turned cold. “Do you know, the person who last said this to me is long dead.”
