Shush & Marry Me

Chapter 005 Eloping Illicit Lovers

“Big Brother, what should we do? How about we just follow what she said and call the boss to make sure about it?” One of his men approached Scarface and asked him in a low voice.

There were too many merciful people in this world and there might be also a few noblemen that couldn’t be offended, hiding in the remote valley. Scarface didn’t dare to randomly take the risk. If this woman is really Carina’s best friend, then a few of them might not be able to hang out in Yan Mountain anymore. They wouldn’t be able to live without leaving a finger behind.

“Get off! Why do we have to make a phone call? Why do we have to ask? Don’t you hear what the lady said?” Scarface thought it over and over again before all of a sudden he slapped his man who was close to him. Then, with a smiling face, he went closer to Victoria, and apologized, “Lady, I have eyes but I can’t recognize you, who is someone great, I must be blind! But, lady, can’t you let us take him home? Our boss had taken on a deal, you also know that as his people we don’t have the right to speak and we can only receive the orders.”

Without waiting for Victoria to answer, Scarface pointed the stick at the weak man who didn’t say anything, behind Victoria, “You lousy shameless coward! You didn’t say anything when you’re detained for a month and ran really fast. If you’re a man, you should go with me. You’re hiding in Lady’s room, aren’t you awful?”

As Scarface spoke, he intended to catch the man. Victoria crossed her hands, turned to his side, without looking at them. Her tone was extremely cold, “I am willing to let the man stay in this room. Unless boss Zhao personally calls me and says that he wants this person, otherwise, I’ll decide on this trivial matter!”

Her tone was firm.

Scarface licked his lips. He was irritated and angry but he still suppressed it and smiled as he calmly said, “Right, we’ve offended you, Lady. You don’t have to care about us. We’ll excuse ourselves.

Please have a good rest.”

As he said that, Scarface didn’t intend to take the man anymore and signaling his men with his eyes. All his five to six men followed him outside and Scarface closed the door.

“Big Brother, are we going to just let that woman take the man away? When we return, our boss will kill us!” One of his men stayed at the door and didn’t want to budge an inch, “She’s just a woman, why should we be afraid?”

“Who asked you to fucking drink so much that you’re as drunk as a dead pig? Otherwise, how could that coward escape?” Scarface raised his hand intending to slap but didn’t dare to make many movements. He signaled his men to be quiet, then he turned around to walk out, “Who knows about the real background of this lousy girl? If Boss Zhao really knows her, all of us will be over by then! Now we should explain everything to our boss and ask him if this woman is really that capable. If it’s a lie, it won’t be too late for us to charge inside and kill her later.”

“Big Brother is right.” All of his men agreed with him.

“Big Brother, if our boss knows that we’ve lost that man, how should we explain it later?” Someone was anxious about it.

Scarface kicked him, “Shut up! Luckily, he’s still here so we can still catch him back. If you talk nonsense again, I’ll smash you!”

A group of men was blocking the exit on the first floor. The landlady cracked the melon seeds while approaching them, and warned him familiarly, “Scarface, I’ll let you catch the people but don’t destroy the house! I still need this house for business! Once your business is done, you’ll give me some benefits, right?”

“Stay away! Why are you spouting so much nonsense, woman?” Scarface glanced at her impatiently and put the connected phone on his ear, “Hey, boss.”

Inside the room

As soon as the door was closed, Victoria immediately eased up her serious face. Then she gently stepped towards the door to lock it and listened at the door for a few seconds, before turning back to open the window beside the bed.

The rainstorm outside the window was still pouring followed by the strong winds. The raindrops tapped the window and the wind blowing caused Victoria’s short hair to fly uncontrollably and blocking her eyes.

After verifying the condition outside, Victoria opened the window to its widest, and turned her head to the silent man who stood against the wall, “Come here!”

The man raised his head, moving slowly, seemingly didn’t hear what she said clearly.

Victoria couldn’t afford to wait anymore. She ran over and grabbed the man’s hand, bringing him towards the window, “Oh, even you’re still very weak and couldn’t walk steadily, but we don’t have time anymore! If they come back, we’ll be dead!”

It’s raining cats and dogs. Her short hair was blown into her eyes and blocking her vision. Victoria brushed it off. A drop of water fell from her forehead to one side of the man’s arm. She didn’t know if it was cold sweat or raindrop.

What sworn sister of Zhao’s woman? She managed to deceive those people but they wouldn’t easily believe her. When they confirmed it and returned, she would really be over!

The man let her drag him, not showing any sign of struggle. He’s as obedient as a puppet. He only let out a cough after walking two steps.

“Wait!”

Seeing that man didn’t wear any clothes, when Victoria went through the bed, she quickly pulled the sheets off the bed and put it on the man, “Let’s use this for a while, your life matters!”

“Quickly, you climb out first!” Victoria pushed the man to the chair beside the window.

This small family inn was only a three-story building. The landlady thought that the man was too heavy and didn’t want to assign them upstairs. So, she assigned them to the two rooms on the first floor. The outer window didn’t have any window bars. Now that she thought of it, it seemed that there’s still another deal. For some reason, it just made Victoria's escape easier.

The man was too weak since he still hadn’t recovered his physical strength. He’s too heavy and it might be hard for him to go across the window even after a long time.

“Use some energy! Don’t you want your life anymore?” Victoria supported the man’s buttocks with one hand and used the other hand to hold his legs. She almost fully touched that man’s skin. Then the man rolled outside the window and fall to the grass.

Victoria climbed after him. Only halfway through, she touched the pocket of her pajamas. Her ID and car keys were there.

Oops, her camera was still on the table next to the TV!

She mustn’t lose her camera!

She planned to return and get it.

At the same time, there a loud ‘BANG’, and she saw the door was being slammed as she turned around. Scarface and the others charged in again. Seeing that she’s already halfway through the window, he cursed, “Damn woman! I’ll kill her! How dare you lie to me!”

The thugs in the floral shirt were all rushing in.

At such a dangerous time, Victoria couldn’t care about her camera anymore, she nimbly went over the window. Those thugs had gone through all kinds of battles and it’s easy for them to catch up. If they caught up, she’s afraid both of them might end up miserably. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Victoria was anxious. The heavy rain had completely drenched her. There’s no time for her to wipe the raindrops on her face. The corner of her eyes caught a glimpse of a broken ladder that was leaning against the wall. Victoria was ruthless, as she lifted the ladder and smashed it against the window.

“Crash----“ The window was smashed into pieces and the shards flew randomly toward those thugs. They covered their faces and heads out of instinct and stepped back several steps.

Barely a few seconds after she escaped, Victoria turned her head but she couldn’t find the man that was wrapped in a sheet.

She looked far away under the rainstorm and the crack of thunder and saw that man moved towards the parking area.

Victoria strode to catch up with him. She didn’t know if the man was trying to escape, but as long as he didn’t mess up with her, it would be enough.

Victoria caught up to that man, grabbed his hand to speed up, and shouted, “My friend, for the sake of our lives, please don’t collapse for now! Let’s get in the car!”

That man was trying pretty hard. Maybe that porridge really worked. Although his body was weak and he’s staggering aimlessly, he still followed Victoria closely and didn’t collapse.

The rain and wind fell hard on them. One of them was wearing pajamas while the other one was wrapped in sheet, wearing only a pair of underpants, looking like a pair of illicit lovers that were eloping together.

“Brother! They are running towards the parking area!”

“Brother, she has a car!”

“Bullshit! We also have a car! Are you still afraid that we won’t be able to catch up with that damn girl?”

There were a lot of noises behind her. The sound of cursing, running, splashing, and several panting sounds, all of them were mixed with the sound of a midsummer rainstorm.

After she reached the parking area, Victoria quickly opened the car backseat and stuffed the man into the car. Then she turned to open the door to the driver’s seat and turned the power to the maximum. Her driving skill was perfect. With just drift, the car dashed out at a lightning speed and moving precisely towards the gate.

The car wheels splashed the water from the puddle towards Scarface and his men’s whole face, that they couldn’t even open their eyes.

“Bang---“ It crashed one side of the gate of the farmhouse. The gate flew over and crashed into the windshield of Scarface’s van and created a hole on the windshield.

“Fuck! Big brother! She ran away!”

“Get in the car!” Scarface took the trash away from his van. When one of his men was about to drive, he realized something wasn’t right. He jumped off the car to check and cursed, “Damn it! Boss, our

tires were being damaged!”

“Nonsense! It’s only been how long since we’re here? Who have the guts to damage our car?” Scarface also jumped off the car but he shut up when he saw it. It’s damn sure enough that someone used a piece of glass to pierce their tires.

The cut was quite artistic. Two tires on the right side were cut into a cross shape and a piece of the sharp shard was stabbed in the center of the cross as ‘the tool for crime’.

“How the hell do we drive this car?” One of his men was dumbfounded.

“Who did this? Who did this!” Scarface jumped out of anger. They couldn’t use the car and it’s raining heavily. It’s impossible to chase them by feet. They came in vain tonight!

“Boss, that woman must’ve done this! That lousy girl even dared to pretend to be sworn sisters of Lady Carina, wouldn’t she have the guts to damage our tires?”

“Nonsense!” Scarface kicked him, “Which one of you that saw her doing this? I almost grabbed her head. Does she have time to do it? You brainless thing!”

Someone suddenly realized, “it must be that coward in the sheet! That woman was desperately running away from us. He must’ve seized the chance to damage our tires!”
