Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 202 Being Beaten
Although Yan Hui did not participate in the ancestral worship ceremony with his uncle's family, the fact that Yan Hui wore the clan robe was known throughout the entire family and even the whole village.

This kind of thing is very common in southern Fujian, and it usually represents the elders' recognition of an outstanding younger generation. You could say that with this set of clothes, Yan Hui could easily borrow money from others in the clan.

Leaving aside the details of the ancestral worship ceremony, Yan Hui made many new friends during his Spring Festival trip home in 1998, including some successful people from the village and town.

Each of these people could have a story to tell individually, but almost none of them are as impressive as Yan Hui. After all, Yan Hui truly built his empire from scratch, while the others had family support to varying degrees. Moreover, even those with family support are far less capable than Yan Hui.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Hui was running around every day. The signal in the village was bad, and some people would call his home to look for him. Yan Hui was extremely busy.

At this point, Yan Hui was at a loss as to what to do with the money. He made a promise with his grandfather that they would rebuild the house after the rainy season this year, and his grandfather had no choice but to agree. Yan Hui's plan was to build a three-story house, which would cost just over 20 yuan.

By the second half of this year, the 20+ yuan will no longer affect his cash flow.

That day, Yan Hui rode his motorcycle to a friend's wedding in the neighboring village. On the way, he was still thinking about what happened last year. His second brother got married last year without even telling him! He was still angry about it!
Many men from southern Fujian stay away from home for a whole year, so the days after the Lunar New Year are the most frequent time for weddings. Yan Hui will be attending three weddings in the next few days.

Walking down the street, Yan Hui suddenly encountered an old Jetta. The car was so slow that it was really getting in the way.

The rural roads were narrow, so Yan Hui couldn't overtake and could only follow behind.

After following for two or three minutes, for some reason, the Jetta's speed got slower and slower, and it even seemed to be deliberately getting in Yan Hui's way.

There aren't many cars in the village. Yan Hui didn't recognize this car and was certain he had no connection with it. He was a little puzzled, but thinking that delaying it any longer would postpone the wedding, he honked the horn.

The moment Yan Hui honked his horn, the car in front stopped abruptly, even at an angle, completely blocking the road and giving him no chance to pass.

Two men, both in their twenties, got out of the car. The one who was driving was wearing a thick gold chain. He walked up to Yan Hui and asked, "What did you honk for?"

"Such a good road, why are you driving so slowly? Are you doing this on purpose?" Yan Hui felt the other person was about to fight, and he was a little angry. "I have a horn in my car, can't I use it?"

"You want a beating, huh?" The man got angry as soon as he heard that, walked over and punched Yan Hui.

Yan Hui blocked the attack and immediately launched a counterattack.

After only a few exchanges, Yan Hui realized that this person was a trained fighter, and he was actually struggling to keep up. However, he was also quite experienced in fighting, and he quickly regained his balance and was able to exchange blows with his opponent.

At that moment, the young man who was with this person suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Yan Hui realized something was wrong. After temporarily forcing his opponent back with a kick, he immediately turned around and threw a straight punch, preparing to force back the person behind him. Then he jumped out from the side to avoid being attacked from both sides.

However, he didn't expect the person behind him to be so brave. He took a punch from him and then stuck to Yan Hui, hugging him tightly.

Yan Hui threw punches and elbows, but he couldn't break free. Then the first strong fighter came over and completely subdued Yan Hui.

Completely unable to break free, Yan Hui was being beaten while feeling suffocated. He could only curl up his body as much as possible to minimize the damage.

The two men gave Yan Hui a good beating, making him see stars and leaving him covered in wounds, leaving him completely dazed.

After beating Yan Hui and venting their anger, the two men swore some harsh words and left.

Yan Hui stood there for more than ten minutes before slowly getting up with his hands on the ground. Looking at the motorcycle that had fallen to the side and then at the empty road, he was furious.

In all his years of fighting, he had never suffered such a loss! He checked his phone; there was some signal. He then called his friend who was getting married and told him he had something to do and couldn't attend.

"Mr. Yan, why can't you come all of a sudden?" the other party asked.

"I'll make it up to you later, but something urgent came up this time."

"Okay, okay."

He was too busy with the wedding, and knowing that Yan Hui wasn't coming, he didn't have time to ask any other questions.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Hui didn't wait at all. He immediately called his friends in town to find out who owned the car.

He followed the car for several minutes and had already memorized the license plate number. There weren't many Jettas around, and someone quickly helped him find out the owner's information.

The driver was the son-in-law of the village chief of another village in the same township.

The person who told Yan Hui the information was Chen Zheng, who was also his cousin's friend. A few years ago, when his uncle ran a sand quarry here, Chen Zheng had worked for his uncle.

After his uncle passed away, Chen Zheng became a small business owner and is now considered quite successful in the local area.

"Brother Zheng, I got beaten up for no reason today. Get me two bulldozers and bring them over. I'm going to demolish his house." Yan Hui clenched his fists tightly.

Such a bizarre thing would be unbearable for anyone, let alone a successful 19-year-old.
"You got beaten up by him? What happened?" Chen Zheng was shocked.

"You know I'm not the kind of person who causes trouble, but today..." Yan Hui briefly explained.

"Blocking your way, provoking you, and then two against one? Are you alright, brother?" Chen Zheng exclaimed, "Are there still people this arrogant these days?"

"My injuries are nothing serious, and I'm not in a hurry to go to the hospital. Anyway, I'm going to tear down his house today, and whatever expenses you need, it's all on me! Whatever other consequences may arise, it's all on me!" Yan Hui didn't care about anything else.

"Brother, you don't need to worry about it, leave this to me!" Chen Zheng agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Hui rode his motorcycle, asked for directions, and after getting lost a few times, finally found the village. Once there, he asked the villagers for directions and went straight to the village chief's house.

There's a happy occasion at this house today; it must be a child's birthday. Yan Hui looked at the cars outside but didn't see the Jetta. Fearing the information might be wrong, he went inside to ask someone.

“It’s our car, young man, look at your head and your clothes.” The speaker was the village chief’s wife. She was a little surprised and didn’t know what had happened.

"It's good that it's your car." With so many people around, Yan Hui didn't make any rash moves and turned to leave.

"Hey, don't go!" The woman sensed something was wrong and immediately went back into the house to tell her husband what had happened.

Upon hearing this, the husband immediately sensed something was wrong: "Wasn't that car driven by Zhang Biao? Someone got beaten up and came looking for them? Where is Zhang Biao?"

"She said she went shopping this morning, but I don't know why she hasn't come back yet."

The couple were chatting when the Jetta returned shortly afterward. The father-in-law immediately went over to find Zhang Biao and asked what had happened.
