Wooing my Bodyguard Wife-Chapter 328 Getaway Car
Li Yue Niang cracked her neck, and the vertebrae gave a satisfying pop as she glared at Captain Mu, who planted himself in front of her. In response, Captain Mu cracked his knuckles, a challenging glint in his eyes.
"Once again, get out of the way." Yue Niang said. "I have a score to settle with your boss."
"I can't let you do that." Captain Mu said, raising his hands. "Will you just go back to the mansion and wait for dinner? I'll pretend I didn't see you trying to hijack one of our cars."
"If you had just driven me to the hospital, I wouldn't need to hijack your car. And you really should take out the keys if you're not using them." Yue Niang retorted, shrugging as she eyed Captain Mu's wary posture. Her body was itching for a fight to release the pent up aggression, but the more logical part of her brain urged her to practice caution.
There was no way she could win against a man that kept himself fighting fit. But goddamn she wanted to do something to Sun Haowei! How dare he scrub Bi Yu's existence away from his life, as though she was a dirt stain on the floor!
"But I forgive you as long as you wise up and bring me to see your boss. Who knows? Maybe he'll wake up after he sees my beautiful face."
Captain Mu gritted his teeth at the shameless response. This woman was unrepentant!
"I know who you really are!" Captain Mu snarled out. His men had managed to find out what the diamond crest carved in the hilt of the knife, and a few quick queries were all it took to link it to this woman.
"Li Yue Niang, or should I say Nangong Yue Niang? It's incredible how you've managed to keep your identity a secret for so long! What do you want?"
"So you've spent your time researching me instead of questioning the kidnappers? Your priorities are skewed." Yue Niang tutted, even as she internally panicked at yet another person finding out. At this rate, the cat was going to claw out of the bag!
Captain Mu flushed an angry red at the reminder, and Yue Niang used the brief moment of distraction to stomp on his toes. Captain Mu yelled in outrage (not pain, no matter whatever anyone said) and chased after her, but she quickly slid into the car, purposely slamming the door against his face before shutting it.
She snickered at the shocked look on his face as she twisted the key to turn on the ignition.
The car hummed to life under her hands. Sure the vehicles were more advanced now, but surely nothing changed that much! She turned the steering wheel and the car swerved sharply, nearly knocking over Captain Mu.
"Stop right there!" Captain Mu screamed, but it was futile. Yue Niang waved goodbye politely before stomping on the accelerator, leaving behind only a cloud of dust.
Captain Mu seethed, but he consoled himself knowing that at least the iron-wrought gates would never open for her. She'd be stuck at the entrance and would be forced to return, her metaphorical tail tucked between her legs!

Yue Niang recklessly drove through the grounds, speeding easily through the empty roads until she spotted the metal gate. Of course it was sealed shut, but she had her ways.
Nothing was going to stop her from shaking Sun Haowei until he woke up, and then slapping him hard enough to send him to the underworld!
"Stop right there!" The guard at the gate demanded, watching the car slow down to an immediate halt. He wondered who was the insane driver - that person clearly needed to renew their licence! He peered down the window and did a double-take; the driver was a woman - in fact, wasn't this the future mother-in-law? He didn't know she could drive like a racecar driver!
"Hi Officer!" She beamed cheerily up at him. "You're still on duty!"
"Yes Madam," he said cautiously, wondering what was going on. "Are you going out of the mansion?" 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮
"Yes my good man," Yue Niang cheerfully replied. "I just need to take a quick trip out of town to buy a few things. We were brought here without much warning, and I'm missing a few belongings."
"Madame, there's no need to trouble yourself," the guard said puzzled. "You can just let Young Master Sun or Lady Yu know about it, and they'll get it for you easily! There's no need for you to personally go out to get it."
"Nonsense, how can I trouble them?" Yue Niang shook her head, as though the very thought horrified her. She gestured to the man to lean down, and whispered into his ear, as though confiding a secret.
"And you know… I don't want to sound like a troublesome mother-in-law. It doesn't reflect well on my daughter! She's already getting flack from people because she isn't from a rich family. What will they think if her mother from the countryside keeps asking people to get things for her? I'd rather do it myself. Besides, I know my own tastes." Yue Niang confessed, purposely inserting more sincerity into her voice. She knew there was a good chance of him letting her go.
From what she could tell, the guard was probably a more straight-laced, yet compassionate man that wouldn't make things difficult for a woman. Old school chivalry perhaps.
Also, guards tended to be more wary about people entering the mansion, and not people exiting!
True enough, a sympathetic expression crossed the guard's face at her words. "I see Madame, I understand. I wish you a safe journey, but are you sure you don't want someone to come with you? What if you have to carry something heavy?"
Yue Niang laughed, waving off his concerns. "You're very kind, but I'll manage. I'll put the things in the car and drive back here, so there's no trouble!"
"If you're sure," the guard said, before pressing the button. Yue Niang hid her triumphant smile as the gate swung open slowly. Instead she waved a thank you to the helpful guard, and began to drive to the hospital.
Sun Haowei was going to have a lot to answer for!
