Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom novel Chapter 317

317 Grave danger 

Code 10 immediately handed him the car keys and ran towards another car that was already roaring and ready to leave the garage. 

After Maverick entered the black car, he started the engine and without further ado, he zoomed out of the garage at an unbelievable speed. 

Maverick didn’t ask where his wife was nor how the fight was going. However, with the GPS on the dashboard and his exceptional computer skills, he was able to navigate through with one hand until he found where his wife was. 

At another area on the road, the backup team which Code 5 called earlier was having a fierce battle with another set of people along the road. 

Those assaulters didn’t want the backup team to go save Jeslyn. 

Code 5 and his men had gunned down tens of enemies, still, the numbers weren’t dwindling. 

Jeslyn was also fighting. From what they observed, the enemies weren’t there to kill Jeslyn. She seemed they wanted to take her away, so whoever came close to Jeslyn either died or got injured. 

“Watch out!” Code 5 cried out. He sped towards Jeslyn and pushed her out of the way. At that moment, a bullet that was shot by one of the enemies hit him in the side of his stomach. 

“Bang!” Jeslyn shot the enemy down before she ran back and supported Code 5. 

“Code 5, she called. Anxiety gripped her heart. She saw him get shot just now, so she pushed his black jacket out of the way and saw the blood on his white shirt. He didn’t have one injury. There were two more; One on his left shoulder, and another below his right chest. Yet, he was still fighting! How strong is he?! 

“H–how…” 

“I’m fine,” he said and stood up. 

“No, you ca-” 

“Ma’am, your safety is my priority…” 

“Bang” 

“Bang 

“Bang!” 

Jeslyn 

killing two men with three bullets. One missed. She bit her lips as she saw Code 5 struggling to stand straight. 

While the battle was ongoing, Lolita who was inside the bin was suffocating due to lack of oxygen. Dying by a bullet wasbetter than getting suffocated to death. She thought. 

Because she can’t bear it anymore, so she opened the bin and stood up. 

The force she applied to open the bin, caused the lid of the bin to hit the wast bin, prompting it to 

produce a loud bang! 

“Bang… Bang!” 

Two bullets were shot in her direction before a loud cry escaped Lolita’s lips. 

“Arghh!” 

“Lolita!!!” Jeslyn screamed and lost her mind. She forget the command to not leave Code 5’s side and dashed to Lolita’s direction without thinking of her own safety. 

Just as Jeslyn was running over to Lolita, some of the enemies also started pursuing her. Code 5, 6, and 7 panicked, causing them to receive some bullet wounds that broke their reserve. 

“Bang!” 

“Bang!” 

“Bang!” 

Three bullets flew into Code 5’s body. One on his back, his calf, and thigh. He fell on one knee. Trying to get up, a painful groan escaped his lips and in no time, he was pinned down by the enemies, same as the other guards too. 

Jeslyn who was sprinting towards Lolita had no time to think about the gunshots and groans she was hearing behind her until she stopped by the crying Lolita. 

“Lola, are… are you alright?” she asked in fear. 

Lolita couldn’t let out words from her mouth. Her gaze was stuck on the people behind Jeslyn. She tried to warn Jeslyn but her lips were quivering in fright. The gunshots on her shoulder was also hurting. 

Jeslyn scrutinized Lolita’s body with her gaze until she saw Lolita’s bleeding shoulder. 

“Lola, you are-” 

“Jeslyn, watch out!!” Lolita screamed and pushed Jeslyn out of the way, even though she couldn’t move her hand just now. 

“Bang!” 

A bullet that was shot from behind Jeslyn flew straight with a whistling sound and lurched into Lolita’s chest. 

“Puff!” she spat out fresh blood and her pupils shrank. Lolita tried to smile at the shocked Jeslyn but her lips couldn’t form one of her sweetest smiles. 

“Lolaaaaaa!!!” Jeslyn screamed and crawled on her knees to the bin. With all her strength, she pushed the bin and it tumbled over. 

She dragged Lolita’s body out of the bin and saw that her short white gown was bathed in blood. Her eyes were closed and her pretty face showed a pained expression. 

Meanwhile, behind Jeslyn, the enemies were in shock when one of them killed Jeslyn’s friend. 

“What did you do-” the leader yelled and turned back to see who dared to shoot the bullet. To his utmost shock, it was the second in command in their faction. 

“Ir- iron heart. Wh- what are you doing here?” The leader of the team asked the man with tattoos striding over with tens of men from the front exit of the alleyway. 

“Why? You don’t want to see me?” Iron heart asked languidly. 

“N- no, that’s not it. My mission wasn’t to kill her just yet. We were told to bring her alive.” The leader 

of the team said.
