A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 36

With a sluggish look, Chester Shahbaz gets puzzled for a while.

"Nothing, keep quiet and take care of yourself."

With those words, there is another bullet which whizzes close to Chester Shahbaz's ear root and leaves a bloodstain on it.

Hannah Joseph dare not move, saying in a low voice.

"Who are they?"

"Anyone is possible," Chester Shahbaz looks Calm. After looking around, he fixes his eyes on the soldier on the copilot seat in the front row. "Didn't you just say you wanted to help me?"

"Yes." Hannah Joseph returns to her mind, "What do you want me to do?"

"Take that gun to me."

The gun is carried on the shoulder of the copilot soldier. At the moment, the soldier is bleeding. His body most probably gets cold.

Hannah Joseph gasps.

"Scared?" Asks Chester Shahbaz.

Fear is human nature, let alone such a woman as Hannah Joseph.

"Give me a knife." But Hannah Joseph holds out her hand to him. "And you press me so hard, so I can't move and reach it. You move.”

Later, in Chester Shahbaz's surprised eyes, Hannah Joseph takes a Swiss army knife, crawls below the seat, cuts the rope tied to the gun with the knife and takes the gun from the soldier.

In the whole process, she is very calm and doesn’t even shake hands.

"Here you are."

Hannah Joseph lies on the foot board below the seat and hands the disassembled submachine gun to Chester Shahbaz who lies on the seat.

Chester Shahbaz doesn’t have time to think about it. He holds the gun at a comfortable angle in his hand, puts it on the window full of broken glass and shots at several figures at the flower bed in the distance.

"The enemy is destroyed in the direction of “12 o'clock”. I will draw fire. You check the sniper on the top floor of the building as soon as possible."

"Yes."

For an instant, Hannah Joseph's ears are full of the whooshing shooting sound and the scream of the enemy falling to the ground.

She can see Chester Shahbaz's cold face when she looks up. At the moment, he has a good command like a real soldier. His charm is showed fully.

It's hard to imagine how an outstanding man like him could conquer man's dignity and competitive mind after he injured his leg in the drill.

With unspoken criticism, Hannah Joseph is thinking to herself when there is a voice of Chester Shahbaz's subordinate in the walkie-talkie.

"The sniper investigation is completed. Special forces in the fourth area have arrived. The enemy situation is basically relieved. Are you okay, chief?"

"I am okay."

Chester Shahbaz puts down the gun. A guard outside the car comes to open the car door for Chester Shahbaz. After getting off the car, he sits in the wheelchair and looks at Hannah Joseph, who is slapping dust on her clothes as if nothing has happened. The doubt in his eyes is deeper.

Hannah Joseph is choked by the smell of bullets and sneezes violently. When she turns around, she sees from the corners of her eyes a black chapped hole in the rearview mirror.

She is still in a daze. There is a huge push behind her, accompanied by Chester Shahbaz's deep shout,

"Get out of the way..."

With the words unfinished, a bullet crashes over Hannah Joseph's head and hits the door straightly, leaving a big black gray coke mark as big as a palm.

Two bodyguards close to Chester Shahbaz kill the ambush attackers in the flower bed almost instantly.

Hannah Joseph falls to the ground and covers her chest, with a lingering fear.
