I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 675: Escape

Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Escape

But now that things have come to this, it’s best to think about escaping first; the rest can be dealt with later. If I can get out, I must plan to do it this way. But if I can’t, then this is all life will ever be for me. I will have betrayed the expectations of my boss above me, who thought I could lead some good-for-nothings to a new victory.

"Come over here, pretty girl, be good. When I was downstairs, just seeing the way you looked made my heart itch. I thought I wouldn’t get my chance today and that I’d have to wait until after the next job to see you again. By then, you’d be worthless, wouldn’t you? Tonight is your first time entertaining guests,"

a sleazy man said those words while touching Lin Qi’s face with his rough, black hand. The hand was extremely prickly, clearly weathered from the wind and sun, and very coarse. As it caressed Lin Qi’s face, she felt as if her skin were being roughly rubbed by something abrasive. It was terribly uncomfortable. How could anyone’s hands be like that?

"Hehe, when we arrived here before, we hadn’t seen this beauty. How could she have been one of the previous ones? She must be new. Hey, Fourth Brother, stop asking those questions and don’t forget what our goal is this time. I casually found someone to hold hostage to facilitate our escape later. I’ll give her to you for now, but let me be clear,

after you’ve had your fill, it’s my turn. I really liked this woman when I was downstairs earlier, but since you do too, I let you go first. After you’re done, you better let me have my turn. If you straight up kill her before I get to her, I’ll be pissed. You’ve got to leave me a way out, right?"

One of the shortest and least imposing men spoke up, looking fairly clean in appearance, but his features were hard to look at, and his height was noticeably short. Listening to him speak and feeling the coarse man’s hand smearing across her face, the stench reaching her nose, Lin Qi felt unbearable.

She wanted to vomit. Having drunk too much, she couldn’t hold it back and suddenly threw up. This annoyed the rough man, who slapped her, smacking Lin Qi’s face so hard it twisted to one side, muttering, "Look at you, you little slut, daring to puke on me. Do you know how valuable I am?

And you puke on me? You’re just a cheap woman. Is it so revolting to let me touch you? I’ll make you puke, I’ll make you..." Four Brother continued muttering as he slapped Lin Qi, and the sound of the strikes was frightening for everyone present. Lin Qi felt dizzy and had never experienced such pain in her life.

She memorized the man’s face, vowing to get back at him for hitting her this way—she’d make sure he paid a price if she ever got the chance. After finishing, the burly man felt significantly more satisfied.

Second Brother was very dissatisfied with this scene. It was a time to be avoiding the police; how could they make such a loud commotion? What if they really couldn’t get away? His little brother could sometimes be too reckless, acting without any consideration. What if the woman was beaten to death? What then?

The other men grabbed whoever they could, with the most unfortunate being Zhang Xu, who was actually caught. In their list, the youngest gang member bragged, "I targeted you for being so tall. I hate men like you the most, so I decided to catch you today.

If I can’t get away, you’ll be my burial companion. Look at your tender skin, you’ve probably never been beaten like this before, wearing such luxurious clothes.

Today, you’ll get to see how hard life is for people like us at the bottom. I bet you’ve never experienced anything like it in your life, so now’s your chance to get a taste,"

the younger brother said cruelly, his words sending shivers down one’s spine. Zhang Xu felt jinxed, having hidden at the very back, yet still being caught. His so-called friends showed no loyalty, pushing him forward when the other side asked for him, as if his life meant nothing.

He was too good to his fair-weather friends, giving them whatever they wanted, generously providing resources, only to end up like this. The kidnappers looked menacing and were unrelentingly rough with him.

When he arrived and saw someone else there, he sighed in relief. With Lin Qi here, he was no longer alone in this fight, which eased his mind somewhat. Seeing Lin Qi’s swollen face, he knew she must have been hit too.

He was shocked—isn’t that right? He had just been thinking that none of this had anything to do with him, that Lin Qi had been caught because she deserved it and should bear the consequences. He secretly rejoiced at her misfortune and felt the night’s events had dampened the fun.

He had considered going to the dance hall for some diversion, and had he not been caught, he might still be merrily heading there now. But seeing the current situation, he realized he had been too callous. Now that they were both in the same place, they needed to help each other, but they couldn’t even speak to one another. Lin Qi wouldn’t even glance at him.

His mind raced with how to start a conversation, but without Lin Qi responding, he had no way to discuss their escape. This left him feeling awkward, and trying to call out could lead to getting beaten. After venting his frustration, Four Brother felt much better.

Observing Lin Qi’s swollen face, he began to show a slight displeasure and said, "Alright, if that scar doesn’t fade,

you’ll be no better than trash. You should know being hit by me is an honor. If you dare curse me in your heart, just wait for me to skin you alive and pluck out all your bones. I’m particularly vicious when I deal with people—you better be careful."
