Shush & Marry Me

Chapter 004 Shouldn't You Ask Who I Am?

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with a crew cut that was as high as Victoria came inside, inspecting Victoria through the weak man’s broad shoulder, then he squinted and glanced around the room.

He was wearing a floral shirt with his buttons undone, exposing his white tank top under it. He dressed like ordinary people. However, there’s a cigarette hanging from his mouth, and his face was behind the smoke circle---from the left corner of his eyes to the side of his ear, there was a scar that was more than ten centimeters, looking like a centipede crawling on his face.

“Hehe, are you still hugging each other? You, kiddo, after being locked up for so long, and yet you still have luck coming across a woman after you got out.”

As the man spoke, the scar on his face was also moving. The man was maliciously checking on Victoria out from head to toe together with the man that was stuck with her.

“Brothers, come in! Did you wait for me to invite you in?” Scarface turned his head towards the door and took a glance.

After listening to Scarface’s order, five to six men wearing the same floral shirt emerged in, blocking the not-so-wide door tightly. But they looked different from Scarface that looked malicious. These five to six men had sturdy muscles and looked like thugs. They stood diagonally while holding wooden sticks and patted it on the other hand rhythmically, looking at Victoria at the same time.

A lot of people said that Yan Mountain wasn’t a safe place. It was almost 100 kilometers from Jincheng. It was also the border between two provinces and there were a lot of mountains. There had been several murder cases over there. Usually, there wouldn’t be anyone that dared to stay here for long.

Victoria realized that she unexpectedly met a disaster today. She’s so unfortunate that she came into a bad inn. Even the landlady that owned the family inn was also an information broker. She saved and

helped the wounded as a good person, but it didn’t look like she got the good karma.

When Victoria was still digesting the situation that happened before her eyes, Scarface came approaching her, and asked, “It’s you? Little lady, from where did you get the courage to grab my man?”

When Scarface spoke, his people that held the wooden sticks started to tap it more regularly.

At the same time, the man who was pressing on Victoria let out a muffled sound. His eyes were covered by his long bangs so she couldn’t see his expression clearly, nor could she understand what he said. His hands supported both her arms as if he wanted to grab her or push her away.

“What are you doing? You’re wasting my time! Do you think I’m a holy man? I’m asking you, little nurse!” Scarface approached her then exhaled the smoke ring on to that man’s face to humiliate him.

“Cough, cough, cough------“ That man kept on coughing. His thin and weak figure leaned down and glued to Victoria a little tighter, as if he couldn’t support himself but it also seemed as if he used this chance to trap Victoria in his arms.

She’s not used to the closeness of a stranger and also didn’t expect that this weak man could soften the gangster’s heart. Victoria moved him away from her. Not only she didn’t yield but also stepped forward, and she was only half a meter away from Scarface.

She laughed, looked straight into Scarface’s eyes, and asked, “Since I dared to stay in this bad hotel, dared to spend the night at the border of Yan Mountain, dared to save people, and even waited for you to check on my room without knowing the reason, shouldn’t you ask who I am before you come and make a trouble?”

The first thing that she did after opening her mouth wasn’t to apologize, but to question him, and Scarface was taken aback. He only heard from the landlady that she’s a little lady in her early twenties.

She looked fair, pure, and also very pretty. He thought that this little nurse was going to kneel in fear and begged for mercy so his men could still have the chance to have some fun.

How come it seemed like she didn’t look frightened at all? Not only that she didn’t look frightened, but also she seemed to have back up?

Seeing that Scarface didn’t speak, Victoria was also not anxious. Scarface raised his chin and gestured, “Brothers, give me a cigarette, let’s chat slowly. You aroused my cigarette addiction.”

The more she calmed down, Scarface seemed to be intimidated and winked suspiciously at his men. His men seemed to be reluctant and wanted to say something but after Scarface glared at him then he handed over the cigarette.

“You didn’t share the cigarette with me, where’s the cigarette for me to enjoy?” Victoria squinted her eyes. Her smiling face looked slightly impatient.

At a glance, she looked like a girl who had seen various aspects of society. When she used the corner of her eyes to glance at the people, she looked slightly experienced and fierce. Scarface was uncertain about her way of doing things and kicked his man that didn’t dare to look up beside him, “Don’t be agitated! Light the cigarette for her! Let’s see what she’s saying!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

His man stepped forward and lighted a cigarette for Victoria. She took a sip and made a smoke ring as she exhaled, but frowned, “It’s fine if you’re confused. This cigarette is rough and strong, it’s not a good cigarette.”

She said that it’s not a good cigarette but she didn’t throw it in disgust. After she stretched her sore neck, she held the cigarette in her mouth, and called, “Okay. Don’t stand by the door. Come in and sit down, brothers.”

Seeing that they didn’t budge, she stared mockingly at Scarface, “You’re a bunch of big and tall guys and also the landlady outside, I know how many of you here? Do you think I dare to play tricks with you? Don’t be annoying! This is in the middle of the night, do you think I am willing to waste my time for you? It’s windy and cold outside. We could still talk after closing the door!”

Her short hair was just washed not long ago and she still had a white towel hanging around her neck. She was slender and thin but anyone could tell that she’s impressive. Her face was of standard oriental beauty. Her temper was carefree and distinguishable.

Judging from her pretty face, she might be a nurse. But now she started to look less like a nurse.

Scarface didn’t budge as he just stared at her, then he was slightly courteous, “Little lady, stop talking nonsense. Tell me, where do you come from? From which gang are you? If you say four, five, six today, I, Scarface, will apologize to you! if you dare to deceive me, I’ll let you know how you’ll die!”

Victoria sipped her cigarette again and threw the remaining half on the floor before crushing it with her toes, “Fine, Scarface, right? Is your boss Golden Panther or Boss Zhao?”

“Oh, shoot! Big Brother, she…” As soon as one of his men heard her directly mentioned his boss’ alias, he was dumbfounded, and the wooden stick in his hand fell on the floor.

Scarface was still calm, “Little lady, who didn’t know that Yan Mountain is under Boss Zhao and Golden Panther’s territory? It won’t be easy if you want to fool us this way! You need to report your real name and according to the old rules, if you need to apologize, you should do it. If you need to die, we’ll kill you. If you also fool our Boss Zhao, something terrible will happen to you!”

Victoria laughed, she didn’t hide anything anymore and said straight to the point, “Boss Zhao’s woman, Carina, is my respected sworn sister! To be honest, do you even deserve to know my name?”

She glanced at the weak man who was leaning against the wall, then turned her head to stare at Scarface. She was extremely impatient and instructed, “Scarface, focus! I know that you’re not capable to talk directly to Boss Zhao, then call someone capable of that and ask clearly! I’m very sleepy now and I don’t have time to fool around with you! Hurry up!”

Among all the members in the branch of Yan Mountain, who didn’t know that Boss Zhao loves Carina the most. If Carina wants the stars in the sky and the moon in the water, he would rush to pick up and fish it for her. Even if she wants an eyeball, Boss Zhao could also dig it out for her!

If he really had offended the sworn sister of that woman, this wicked idea was a bit strong but everyone in the room including Scarface couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
