The Crippled Boss's Outstanding Substitute Wife | Book 2

227.You Go First

"Ah!" Jennie, who was extremely tense, was shocked and let out a sharp scream.

Lisa gave her a look and signaled, "Scream."

Jennie strangely understood Lisa'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, Jennie cupped her red cheeks. She exclaimed in admiration, "Mrs. Jeon, why do you know everything! So amazing!" Lisa 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, Jennie did not expect that Lisa 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." Lisa 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, Lisa 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, Lisa 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.

Lisa 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, Lisa and Jennie were slim, so it was not difficult to get through.

Jennie 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. Jennie 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, Lisa was watching from the side and helped her to climb to the top. Jennie carefully turned her back and jumped down from the window.

Looking out of the window, she saw that it was very high. Jennie 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!" Lisa's expression turned stern. She did not care much about anything else and raised her hand to push Jennie. The situation was critical. Jennie gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and jumped down. There were dried weeds and the down jacket that Lisa had thrown down earlier to soften the impact when they landed on the ground. Although Jennie's entire body hurt from the fall, she was not injured.

Lisa jumped down immediately and grabbed Jennie'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. Lisa pulled Jennie and ran down the mountain with all her might. Lisa had been fighting with people since she was young and had been training her body non-stop. Thus, Lisa still had some strength left when she ran. However, Jennie grew pampered and she currently had a high fever as well. She was probably dragged along by Lisa in the latter half of their escape.

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

Actually, Jennie 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. Jennie said that she would be waiting for Lisa to save them, but she only said that because she did not want to drag Lisa down.

Lisa's eyes darkened.

"Mrs. Jeon, you should quickly leave!" The sounds of pursuers chasing and searching for them from behind were getting closer and closer. Jennie looked anxious, she pushed Lisa. She said, "Leave quickly, I will wait for you to come back and save me!" Jennie'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.
