That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1689 Finally, I became a thorn in someone else's side.

On New Year's Eve, Li Ye was on duty at his workplace as usual.

There's really no other way. If you're in a higher position than others, you have more responsibility. You can't expect your subordinates to cover for you at a time like this, can you? If something really happens, are you going to make your subordinates go to jail for you?
As Li Ye was leaving, his daughter followed him out and said sweetly, "Daddy, you go on your shift first. After my brother and I finish watching the crosstalk and skit, Mommy and I will come and spend the New Year with you, okay?"

"Okay, you two can spend the New Year with Grandpa and Grandma first, and then spend it with Dad."

Since starting work, Li Ye has rarely spent Lunar New Year's Eve at home. However, after 9 PM, Wen Leyu would always bring their child and younger sister to Li Ye's workplace to celebrate the New Year with him.
This maintenance of family affection deeply moved Li Ye, who had become accustomed to the coldness of family relationships decades later.

After all, decades later, it will be a time when "every year is tough, but we'll get through it all." Those who make money will be greeted with smiles from everyone, while those who don't will have nothing but tears to tell!
Especially when Li Ye was driving and stopped at a traffic light intersection, the feeling of emptiness became even clearer, and he could better empathize with those heartbroken people who had worked hard for a year but didn't want to go home because they hadn't earned any money.

Because he was the only car on the surrounding streets, there wasn't a soul in sight except for the shadows of withered trees under the streetlights.

Just think about it! The city is usually bustling and lively, and you can feel the warmth of it all. But once everyone goes home, you can't see a single person on the streets for half a day, and you're all alone. Just thinking about that feeling is unpleasant, isn't it?
For flower growers, the Lunar New Year is the most important thing. After working hard all year, even if they don't make money, don't they deserve a consolation prize?
However, just as Li Ye was empathizing with others, two car headlights appeared in the distance ahead, speeding towards the intersection.

"Hey, are there still people out working during the Lunar New Year?"

Li Ye was a little puzzled because he recognized the headlights of the car opposite him; it was a Beijing-brand heavy truck produced by his own company.

Let alone in the 1990s, even decades later, there are very few trucks on the road on New Year's Eve.

But today is really strange. Just as Li Ye saw the truck speeding ahead, two more headlights appeared behind him, equally dazzling and moving at a similarly high speed.

"Are they going to run a red light? Even if they're in a hurry, can't they rush for half a minute?"

Seeing that the two trucks showed no sign of slowing down as they approached the intersection, Li Ye couldn't understand the two truck drivers. Even if there was no one on the road at the moment, they didn't need to be in such a hurry, did they?

But suddenly, Li Ye felt something was wrong.

Because there are people at this intersection! Aren't I a person too?
On New Year's Eve in the 1990s, two trucks suddenly appeared on a deserted crossroads. Wasn't that too much of a coincidence?
Li Ye reached out to shift gears and floored the accelerator.

At worst, I'll just run a red light myself! What if those two cars are coming for me?
But as soon as Li Ye stepped on the gas, he knew that today was truly a "what if" situation; these two cars were coming for him.

The car on the other side had already turned left and was heading straight for Li Ye's Mercedes, while the car behind was also accelerating towards the rear of Li Ye's car, as if they were going to attack from both sides!

No matter how good the Mercedes-Benz design is or how many airbags it has, it's practically made of paper when surrounded by two trucks. So Li Ye felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he slammed the accelerator pedal down as hard as he could.

With the roar of the V8 engine and the screeching of tires, the W14, known for its stability and comfort, suddenly drifted violently to the right, its body lurching diagonally forward and narrowly avoiding a large truck crashing into it.

But the truck behind it really couldn't avoid it. The road was already narrow, and the Mercedes had just started moving. It was as if the truck behind it was aiming straight at it, and with a "bang," it crashed into the rear of the Mercedes.

The two-ton Mercedes spun twice on the spot, and the deployed airbags slammed into Li Ye's chest, as if he had been hit hard in the chest.

But Li Ye didn't care about that right now. He endured the dizziness in his head, unbuckled his seatbelt, and twisted his body to reach for the back seat of the Mercedes.

Given the social environment of the 1990s, Li Ye's nephew Jiang Shiqi modified the back seat of his Mercedes-Benz, stuffing a five-shot shotgun under the seat.

Today, Qu Qingyou and Jiang Shiqi were both given leave by Li Ye to go home for the Chinese New Year. Right now, Li Ye's most trusted brother is this shotgun.

However, because the rear of the Mercedes was hit and the back seat was obviously deformed, even with Li Ye's brute strength, he couldn't lift the seat immediately.

At that moment, the passenger door of Li Ye's car was pulled open from the outside, and a burly man stared intently at Li Ye.

"Hey bro, are you alright? My brakes failed."

"I have nothing to do with you, my brakes failed."

Without saying a word, Li Ye leaned to the side and kicked the guy in the chest.

Although people in their thirties are not as physically resilient or quick as those in their twenties, Li Ye felt that this kick was the most ruthless and coolest he had ever delivered.

In the past, when he fought with others, he only felt anger, but now, his heart is filled with "killing intent".

Grandpa Li Zhongfa used to tell him that "the battlefield and fighting are different." Li Ye thought he understood back then, but now he realizes that he has never understood.

The notions of "injuring someone and going to jail, killing someone and paying with your life" are completely irrelevant at this moment; he simply wants to kill the driver.

The driver wanted Li Ye to mistake it for a "traffic accident," but he didn't know that Li Ye was from decades later and had heard a lot about things like "Niu Yue Fang Fang."

Considering that Li Ye has been advocating the "Chinese Flower Ox Pen Theory" for so many years, he has implicitly clashed fiercely with certain overseas infiltration ideologies on several occasions. Therefore, Li Ye's vigilance is beyond that of ordinary people.

And the recent article "Shangganling" was the final catalyst!
Li Ye has traveled through thirteen years, and along the way, he has finally become a thorn in the side of certain people. Moreover, after kicking the other party in the chest, Li Ye knew that he had guessed correctly.

Although the guy didn't dodge his kick, he quickly reacted by blocking with his arms. If Li Ye hadn't had the physical advantage of being a transmigrator with amazing close combat skills, he probably wouldn't have been able to kick the guy down.

How could someone like that happen to appear at this time and just happen to hit Li Ye with his car?
So, taking advantage of the moment when the guy was kicked down, Li Ye scrambled out of the car and kicked him between the legs.

"Ow~"

The burly man immediately curled up into a shrimp-like shape, trembling and twitching with each arch.

Just then, the driver of another truck ran up and was startled by Li Ye's ferocity, so he subconsciously slowed down.

"Brother, don't get angry, it was an accident."

[An accident? Go tell the King of Hell it was an accident!]

Li Ye glanced at the opponent's palm and saw no sharpness in it, like a dagger. Without hesitation, he charged forward and launched a flying knee strike.

The other person also fell to the ground without any doubt, and then, unsurprisingly, Li Ye kicked him again, causing him to start convulsing and hunching over, just like the driver in front of him.

If you still pretend to be innocent and harmless in front of the crazed Li Ye, you're really trying to fool a ghost, but you've run into the King of Hell instead.

Only after Li Ye rendered both drivers incapacitated in one go did his panic gradually subside. Just a moment ago, he had truly been one step away from death.

These days there are no surveillance cameras at intersections. On this deserted street, two cars could sandwich you and turn you into a meat patty without anyone noticing.

Just as Li Ye caught his breath, he saw another van approaching from a distance, driving straight toward him.

Without saying a word, Li Ye yanked open the door of the Mercedes-Benz, forcefully pried open a gap in the back seat, and groped his way out to pull out the shotgun.

"Brother, what happened? Did you hit these two guys?"

The two men who got out of the van had just exchanged a few words when they saw Li Ye turn around and raise the sprayer in his hand.

"Bang~"

Without uttering a single word, Li Ye blew out the front tire of the van.

Are you all busybodies? Do you enjoy watching a spectacle? Come on, don't leave!

"Brother, what are you doing? Holding a gun while drunk, you're breaking the law."

Li Ye ignored the man's rambling, simply waved the Truth in his hand at him, and coldly uttered two words.

"Squat down!"

"Hey, bro, you..."

"Bang~"

Li Ye fired a shot at the side of the other man, and several steel balls grazed his thigh, causing him to bleed profusely.

"Crouch down and don't move!"

This time, the two obediently followed Li Ye's instructions, because they finally understood that Li Ye was truly determined to kill them!

Li Ye pointed at several people while picking up his phone and calling Wen Leyu.

"Hey, I'm in trouble. Call your older brother and ask him to find a way to get Guo An's men to come over—Guo An, not Gong An."

The men who had just submitted to Li Ye immediately exclaimed anxiously when they heard him say he was going to notify "Guo An": "Brother, what are you doing? We just came to help because we saw the car accident!"

Li Ye gently raised the shotgun and pressed it directly against the other person's forehead.

"Save what you have to say for later! If you say another word, I'll send you to tell the King of Hell!"
