Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
Chapter 316

316 Kill or die

"Yes, boss," the guard replied.

The cars continued to run through the road like everything was well. After a long while, Code 5 started to relax, believing he was only thinking too much. After about ten minutes, a trailer came out from the side and started running towards Lolita's car at full speed.

The observant Code 5 saw it in time and immediately communicated with Jeslyn.

"Stop the car and run out, now!" Code 5 commanded through his headset which was connected to Jeslyn's earbud that was secured under her hair.

The moment Jeslyn heard the warning, she instantly hit the break and unlocked her seat belt. "Get out, now!" she urged Lolita who also did as told and got out of the car.

Once they both did, that was when they saw the big trailer coming their way.

"Run towards the alleyway, hurry!" Code 5 commanded.

Jeslyn grabbed Lolita's hand and started running towards the alleyway.

Code 5, Code 6, and Code 7 jumped out of their moving cars and started running towards the alleyway.

While running, Code 5 started calling others. "Code 11, emergency at terminal 139, over!"

When Jeslyn got to safety, she saw how the trailer crashed into the car, sending the sound of a loud explosion to reverberate everywhere.

Lolita screamed in fright and hugged Jeslyn when she saw what happened to the car they just ran away from a few seconds ago.

Code 5, Code 6, and Code 7 came out of the alleyway and started shooting at the people in the trailer. After a few rounds of shooting, the driver was finally killed and the trailer collided with an empty store along the road.

Code 7 waited to see if the coast was clear before he said; "The road is clear, we should-"

Code 5 shook his head, "No, the red car is still somewhere."

Just after he finished saying that, the red car came into view, accompanied by two vans. Five men got down from the red car, and then tens of men came down from the vans and started heading towards the alleyway with guns and poles in their hands.

"Jes- Jeslyn, they are coming for us!" Lolita panicked while holding tightly unto Jeslyn who was equally afraid.

Jeslyn pushed Lolita into the alleyway and shouted, "Hide!"

Lolita shook her head eagerly, "N- no, you have to come with me, I can't do it alone."."

"Ma'am, go with your friend. The alleyway leads to another street-" Code 7 was cut off immediately by Code 5.

"There's danger waiting for you there," He said. "Bang!" he fired the first shot at the enemies before he unged, afraid that a stray bullet might hit her. "Ma'am, take cover"

leslyn nodded and held Lolita's hand. They started running towards the other end of the alleyway, looking for a place to seek cover but nothing was in sight.

The only things they could see along the alleyway; between two tall buildings, were the industrial

waste bins.

Stopping in front of one of the bins; Jeslyn looked at Lolita and said, "Lolita, it seems you will have

to-"

"No, no, no, I don't want to get in there, it's-"

"You still care about beauty right now?" She opened the lid and sighed in relief when she saw that most of what was inside were white sheets of wide paper "Get in, hurry!" Jeslyn nudged Lolita, gently pushing her forward.

"What about you?" She asked.

"Don't worry, I'll take one of those bins," Jeslyn gestured towards the other bins with her jaw.

Seeing there were still more than ten bins lined with huge spaces along the long alleyway, Lolita nodded and got into the bin.

"Jeslyn, we'll be fine, right?" she asked before Jeslyn could close the lid.

Jeslyn turned to look at the bloody fight going on on Code 5's side and smiled faintly. "We will stay in the bins. Don't come out no matter what."

Lolita held Jeslyn's hand tightly and said, "Jeslyn, we'll go back together, promise me." Jeslyn stayed silent without answering. "Promise me or I'll come out of here," she frowned.

"I promise, we'll go back together." Jeslyn pulled her hand back and closed the bin. She ran to other bins but they were either too full or extremely dirty.

Just when she thought of managing one of the dirty bins, she spotted some men entering from the other exit of the alleyway. Jeslyn took a few steps back as she observed the men coming with gun. Alarmed, she turned and started running back to Code 5.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The sounds of gunshots kept ringing louder and louder as she moved closer. Those men behind her were also running over.

"Ma'am," Code 5 was alarmed when he saw Jeslyn had come back. "What are you-" he stopped talking when he saw the tens of men running towards them.

The men they were fighting in front had multiplied if not tripled, and those behind them were also around the same number as the ones in front.

"Can you handle a gun?" he asked.

"My aim is not perfect," Jeslyn said.

"Fair enough." Code 5 pulled out a black gun from his waist and handed it to Jeslyn. "Defend yourself with it. Don't stray from me, please!"

Jeslyn nodded and stood by his side as Code 5 and the others fought to clear a way for her escape.

Meanwhile, Maverick had just left the office building and was heading to the underground car park when Code 10 came running to him, looking flustered.

"Boss, there- there's trouble," he stuttered.

Without stopping, Maverick glanced at him, urging Code 10 to speak.

"Madam-"

Maverick paused when he heard that. He turned and yanked Code 10's collar towards him.

"What happened to my wife," his deep voice rang with hostility.

Code 10 felt a chill and immediately continued, "She was ambushed, and now-"

"The car keys," Maverick's aura flared and only the strong aura of death shrouded him. He didn't look angry nor did his brow furrow, but with the single vein that was popping out on his forehead and how his hand was shaking as he tried to take the keys from Code 10. It was more than enough to tell those who noticed that Maverick was having difficulty holding back his rage.
