Chapter 74 Can You Afford It
"OK! We''ve just received the information and a direct order from a superior that some international
wanted criminals are now hiding at the Xiaxi Vige of the Xiaxi Town and are trying to evade their
capture. They pose a great threat to the safety of the vigers there! Now, the Sharp Eagle team and
special forces from the secondpany are to be deployed. Attention!" spoke Wesley Si, the
Commanding General of the troops.
"Yes!" The Sharp Eagle team and the special soldiers replied in unison and their voice was so loud that
they could even be heard form far away in the distance!
"Now, Brian Han, the Major and the Sharp Eagle team leader, will lead you to the Xiaxi Vige to carry
out the mission at hand. Do not forget, above all, you should ensure the vigers'' safety first. Of
course, you should also ensure your own safety!" added Wesley Si.
"Yes!"
...
After they saluted and said their goodbyes to Mr. Si together, Brian and his fellow soldiers packed up
their equipment, carried the camouge backpacks to the cars and then drove the several military
vehicles towards their destination.
At about four o''clock the next morning
Fanny and y got up first and began to get busy. At about five o''clock, Shirley was woken up by her
younger sister.
Shirley didn''t wake J up and also asked the make-up artist to try and keep quiet.
When J woke up, Shirley had already changed into her wedding gown.
In a daze, J sat up from the bed startled and then realized that Shirley was actually getting married
today.
"Please go and get washed first and then you can have the hot breakfast!" said Shirley. She smiled and
looked at J who seemed to be in a trance.
It wasn''t until when she heard Shirley''s words that J really noticed her. When she looked at Shirley,
she began to slowly awake more and more, and said, "Wow! Shirley, you''re so beautiful today!"
J pulled the quilt aside, got out of bed and then walked up to Shirley. She then began to scan
Shirley up and down while she was walking around her.
Shirley, with a ruddy face, helped J smooth her hair, and said, "J, you''re even more beautiful
than me, and one day you''ll be the most beautiful bride!"
''Will I?'' thought J. When she saw Shirley, dressed in the wedding gown, she began to imagine her
own wedding.
''Who would be my bridegroom? Could he be...'' she thought
At about eight o''clock, after the firecrackers were set off, someone suddenly ran into Shirley''s bedroom,
and said, "The bridegroom is here! The bridegroom has arrived!"
Shirley, who was sitting on the bed, held J''s hand tightly, looking very nervous.
"Don''t worry. You''re so beautiful and attractive today that you''ll leave him speechless!"forted J.
Being Shirley''s bridesmaid, she wore a pink-white, long id coat with a long dress of the same color
underneath.
She looked beautiful but in a more low-key style.
Walter, the bridegroom, had entered the courtyard, and a sudden rush of noise and excitement came
roaring from outside.
After a series of customs whichsted more than ten minutes, Walter looked a little impatient as he
finally could enter Shirley''s bedroom.
He gave those who stood in front of the bedroom''s door several big red envelopes and then
sessfully entered the room.
It was the first time that J was meeting Walter, who was about 24 years old. He looked a little fat
and had small eyes on which he wore a pair of golden frame sses.
He looked at Shirley for a while and then directly turned his eyes onto J.
His eyes seemed to glint when he was looking at her, which made J feel very ufortable.
Walter had left a bad impression on J!
When another man, one of the groomsmen, saw J, he immediately got close to her, and asked,
"Wow! Where does the beautiful girle from?"
"Shirley, is she your ssmate? She''s so pretty. Could you introduce her to me?" asked another
groomsman.
Several groomsmen then gathered around Shirley and J and began to make rude jookes.
J just smiled, not uttering a single word.
Luckily, the wedding ceremony started and J could finally skip the embarrassment, but during the
ceremony, many people had their eyes fixed on her.
She felt more ufortable and wanted to escape even more then.
There were a lot of betrothal presents ced in the courtyard, so Shirley''s parents were very joyful
when they saw them.
Walter held Shirley in his arms and then put her in the Ferrari convertible, while they were surrounded
by all the people. J opened the car door on the other side and sat on the backseat with Shirley.
After another burst of loud firecracker bangs, the Ferrari turned around and drove away.
It was followed by about ten BMW cars, a really pompous lineup for the countryside vige.
They had already driven a few hundreds meters away, and a lot of children were still following the cars,
running andughing behind them.
When the Ferrari reached the vige turning, a sudden, loud bang was hearding from the near
distance, which shook the whole car and made it tremble with the vibrations.
What had happened?
The Ferrari immediately stopped and the cars following did as well.
At this moment, J''s Benz had quickly caught up from behind with the Ferrari.
"Miss Shao, there is something happening in the vige and it''s dangerous there. For your own safety,
please get back in the car, " said a bodyguard. He had knocked on the Ferrari''s window. When J
rolled down the window and saw the serious look in his eyes, she realized that he wasn''t kidding at all.
In that moment they heard a screaming from the distance, "Help!"
J, who had just got out of the Ferrari, saw a heavy smoke rising from a corner of the vige far
behind her.
With panic in her eyes, J wondered, ''What happened?''
Walter also got out of the car, and when he saw the smoke, he cursed, "Damn it! Bad luck!"
He then got out of the Ferrari, and said to the driver, "Step on it, quick!"
Shirley immediately called Walter to stop. "Walter, don''t drive away. I have to go back and check if my
family members are safe!"
"Don''t go back and check! Call them!" Walter was furious and shouted at her.
When she saw that he spoke to her in such a rude way, Shirley, with her eyes turning red, was just
about to cry when she took out her phone.
J moved beside the assistant driver''s seat of the Ferrari and knocked on the car window. When he
saw her, Walter immediately looked more nicer and more friendlier, and asked, "What''s up? Shirley''s
ssmate."
"Are you a real man? Shirley is pregnant and her family members are also in the vige. Why are you
shouting at her? Can''t you even show a bit of consideration for her!" scolded J angrily. When he
heard her berating words, Walter was a little stunned.
Shirley, who sat on the backseat, had by now already choked with sobs, and said, "J, I''m fine, don''t
worry. The call almost connected!"
Before J got any chance to a reply, Shirley got through on the phone with her father, "Father, what
happened in the vige?"
After she heard what her father said over the phone, Shirley began to cry, and told her husband,
"Walter, a group of strangers arrived at our vige and they aremitting murders right now!"
When he learned about the a terrible situation, Walter just said, "You''re foolish and crazy! Do you want
to go back and be killed? I won''t go there. Go back by yourself if you want to!"
When J heard these words, she tightly held her fists with rage, clenched her teeth and then kicked
the Ferrari''s door, shouting, "God damn you! You don''t deserve to be a man!"
Walter got out of his car right away and was furious when he saw J kicking the Ferrari. "Do you
know how much I''ve paid to rent this Ferrari? Now that you''ve kicked it, if there''s any scratch on it can
you afford it?" he shouted.
J, who was looking at him, just sneered at his words. Then she turned around, and said to the
bodyguard, "Stay here and wait for me. I''ll go back to the vige!"
"Miss Shao, you can''t go back there. It''s too dangerous!"
The bodyguard immediately stopped J and tried to persuade her from returning to the vige.
But J had already got in the car, and said, "Don''t worry! I''ve learned taekwondo and can protect
myself. Please ask another bodyguard to take Shirley away from here first!"
When J started the car, Shirley had already opened the Ferrari''s door and got off the car. She then
ran in front of J''s car, and said, "J, please don''t go back. Let me go alone instead! They are my
mother and father!"

Walter had already bitterly disappointed her in the first hour of their marriage.
"Shirley, just listen to me. You''re pregnant and you can''t go there, it''s too dangerous, " said J.
Uttering these words, she turned the car around and drove back towards the vige.
Shirley watched the Benz driving away fast and then burst into tears.
