A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 295

“Look at yourself!” Jessie rolls up her eyes and turns around to walk to the fitting room.

Leigh feels like he is full of energy again and shows off to Louis and Daniel in the group chat. Louis, who is working, doesn’t notice the message. Daniel doesn’t reply to him either.

Though no one bothers to respond to him, Leigh keeps showing off still.

Suddenly, Leigh is alerted. He feels like someone is staring at him, so he stands up quickly and looks around. But he notices nothing.

It is not his illusion. Someone must be following him!

Just when he is thinking, the three women have already bought the clothes and walk to him carrying shopping bags.

Jessie asks him, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I sit for too long and stand up to have some exercise.” Leigh doesn’t want them to worry and grins, “You all finished shopping? It is almost night. Let’s go back.”

They all nod.

After an afternoon of shopping, they are truly tired.

With his hands full of shopping bags, Leigh follows behind them. He looks lazy and idle, but his sharp eyes are actually paying attention to every move of people around.

Several people are passing by the counter of a jewelry shop.

A receptionist who is arranging things in the counter notices a bulged paper bag under the counter.

“Did anyone forget anything?”

The receptionist mutters and wants to open the bag to see what it contains before handing it to her colleagues.

When she opens the bag, she doesn’t notice the thin wire on the bag. When the bag is opened, the relief cover attached to the wire is opened too.

Then the receptionist hears slight noise, and a string of white, heavy smoke comes out of the bag.

Meanwhile, the paper bags under other counters all let out strings of white smoke. The whole jewelry section is soon full of white smoke. And scream is everywhere.

Then the lights of the jewelry section are off. Only the little lights in the counters, which are intended to beautify the jewelry, are on. But the light they give is very dim.

With the white smoke and darkness, people’s eyes are totally blocked.

“Don’t move! Stay down!”

Just when everyone is panicking, the voices of several men come up, along with their footsteps. They are speaking English but their voices are not clear. So they may all wear face masks.

People can also hear the sound of guns loading bullets. It seems like they are carrying weapons.

Just when strings of white smoke came out of every counter before, Leigh knew something was wrong. He instantly dragged three women to the nearest counter and hid there.

“Don’t move! Or I will do something!”

Hearing the husky warning from those men, Lily turns to Leigh and asks slightly, “Jewelry robbery?”

“Yes. Judging from the white smoke and power cut, I can say that they have planned it.” Leigh whispers and sends text to local police, Daniel and Louis.

But Leigh is confused too.

The shopping mall’s security is pretty tight. And CCTV is everywhere. Besides, the jewelry section is on the fifth floor. So if something goes wrong up here and people outside find out, even if the robbers exit the jewelry section, they won’t be able to leave the shopping mall.

When they get out, they may be fired at by police. Are they trying to get themselves killed over a robbery? Are they fools?

They four hide in the counter. They can seemingly hear the weeping of other women and the men’s shabby English. The robbers are asking the receptionists to open the counters and get the jewelry out. The sound of footsteps never stops.

Soon, the footsteps come near them.

The receptionist in this counter has gone to hide somewhere else before. The robbers are asking receptionists to open counters to get jewelry. So they will definitely come in, and when they come in, they will see them hiding here.

“I will handle him and try to bring him down. You be quiet.” Leigh whispers to them.

If he knew before, he would have turned on the frequency jammer in his phone.

The robber frowns and it seems like there is something wrong with the headphone. He lets out several cries and he seems to be speaking Japanese. Then he uses his another hand to adjust his headphone and is slightly distracted.

Just at the moment of his distraction, Leigh grabs his hand carrying the shotgun and twists it hard. Just when the robber is about to cry, Leigh’s right hand is already at his neck. Leigh touches the fatal point of his neck and five strong fingers work together.

In less than three seconds, the robber is dead without a single sound.

Leigh quietly drags the dead robber into the counter and turns off his headphone. Then he removes his night vision device.

Jessie shows her head from under the wind coat and looks at the dead robber on the ground. She asks slightly, “Is he dead?”

“It is justifiable defense. It is either him or me.” Leigh says, “I was just regretting that I didn’t open the frequency jammer. But something went wrong with his headphone. God helped me.”

“I did.” Jessie shakes his phone and says proudly, “I watched gangster films before. The boss of the gangsters gives orders to them through the headphones attached to their heads. He tells them how to escape. I was wondering if they would do the same. And your phone has a frequency jammer, so I turned it on.”

Leigh kisses Jessie and says, “Babe, you are so great! We lovers think alike!”

Lily says quietly, “Please stop showing your love for each other at this dangerous moment.”

After the frequency jammer works, the other robbers notice the situation too. The footsteps are quicker and more frequent. They seem to be looking for the jammer.

“The police can’t be here in a short while. I will slow them down.” Leigh puts on the night vision device and headphone. He asks them to stay where they are, “When I go out, you turn off the phone.”

Jessie asks, “Why are you wearing the headphone? Do you speak Japanese?”

“I gotta try. Someone must speak English.”

“...”

Armed, Leigh sneaks out of the counter. Then Jessie turns off the phone, and the frequency is good again. After some noise, someone is speaking through the headphone.

It is all Japanese, and Leigh doesn’t understand.
