The Crippled Boss Loves Me

Chapter 227: You Go First

“Ah!” Zhuang Yu, who was extremely tense, was shocked and let out a sharp scream.

Shen Hanxing gave her a look and signaled, “Scream.”

Zhuang Yu strangely understood Shen Hanxing’s meaning. Her face, which was already red from the high fever, was burning hot. She gritted her teeth and endured the embarrassment, letting out a few strange screams.

Hearing the voices, the brawny men outside immediately laughed wretchedly. Hearing that they were going to drink and play cards again, Zhuang Yu cupped her red cheeks. She exclaimed in admiration, “Mrs. Ji, why do you know everything! So amazing!” Shen Hanxing knew how to cultivate orchids, knew how to play the violin, and even knew how to do city planning. That was already amazing enough. However, Zhuang Yu did not expect that Shen Hanxing even knew how to fight. When she fought, she looked so awesome and cool, and she even knew how to imitate other people’s voices. Was there anything in this world that she did not know?

“In order to survive, humans have to learn all sorts of skills.” Shen Hanxing was unconcerned. She put away the fruit knife and looked around the factory. She only used a simple method to change her voice, she did not think that it was anything awesome.

Soon, Shen Hanxing saw a tall machine and climbed up. The rectangular glass window had long been broken. From the cracks, she could see that the outside was withered and yellow. It seemed that they had been tied up in the abandoned factory located halfway up the mountain. After quickly absorbing the information she had obtained through observing their surroundings and tying it in with S City’s map, Shen Hanxing heaved a sigh of relief.

If she remembered correctly, this was a factory on the mountain south of S City. It was originally used for processing purposes and had been left idle for various reasons. There was a small village at the foot of the mountain. As long as they could find someone there, they would be saved.

Shen Hanxing quietly jumped down from the machine and said in a low voice, “Come, I’ll help you climb up. Let’s jump out of the window.” The window was a little narrow. Fortunately, Shen Hanxing and Zhuang Yu were slim, so it was not difficult to get through.

Zhuang Yu looked at the tall machine and felt a little dizzy, but she mustered up the courage to nod. She gritted her teeth and climbed up the machine. Zhuang Yu was born and raised in a wealthy family. She did not have much experience climbing trees in the past. Thus, she was now climbing up clumsily. Fortunately, Shen Hanxing was watching from the side and helped her to climb to the top. Zhuang Yu carefully turned her back and jumped down from the window.

Looking out of the window, she saw that it was very high. Zhuang Yu was a little afraid and half of her body was hanging outside. Just when she mustered up the courage to jump down, her fingers touched something and there was a loud bang. Something had fallen to the ground with a loud sound.

“What’s going on?!” The laughter of the brawny men suddenly stopped. Then, someone kicked the door open and shouted, “Oh no, these two women are trying to escape!”

“Jump!” Shen Hanxing’s expression turned stern. She did not care much about anything else and raised her hand to push Zhuang Yu. The situation was critical. Zhuang Yu gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down. There were dried weeds and the down jacket that Shen Hanxing had thrown down earlier to soften the impact when they landed on the ground. Although Zhuang Yu’s entire body hurt from the fall, she was not injured.

Shen Hanxing jumped down immediately and grabbed Zhuang Yu’s hand. She exclaimed in an urgent manner, “Run!”

Fortunately, the window was open at the side of the factory. If those people wanted to catch up, they would have to run out of the main entrance. Their curses were heard from some distance away. Shen Hanxing pulled Zhuang Yu and ran down the mountain with all her might. Shen Hanxing had been fighting with people since she was young and had been training her body non-stop. Thus, Shen Hanxing still had some strength left when she ran. However, Zhuang Yu grew pampered and she currently had a high fever as well. She was probably dragged along by Shen Hanxing in the latter half of their escape.

The sound of the pursuers was getting closer and closer. Zhuang Yu panted, she could not help but cry as she said, “Mrs. Ji, I, I can’t run anymore. Let go of me, you... you should escape by yourself!” She cried as she pushed Shen Hanxing’s hand away. Zhuang Yu tried her best to smile as she said, “I... I’ll be waiting for you to come back and save me...”

Actually, Zhuang Yu knew very well that their escape this time had angered the gangsters. Once they were caught, the gangsters would definitely not give them any chance to live. Zhuang Yu said that she would be waiting for Shen Hanxing to save them, but she only said that because she did not want to drag Shen Hanxing down.

Shen Hanxing’s eyes darkened.

“Mrs. Ji, you should quickly leave!” The sounds of pursuers chasing and searching for them from behind were getting closer and closer. Zhuang Yu looked anxious, she pushed Shen Hanxing. She said, “Leave quickly, I will wait for you to come back and save me!” Zhuang Yu’s hands and legs felt weak from the fever and when they ran for a long time. Her cheeks were red and tears could not stop falling.
