My Substitute Wife is a Bigwig (Loud and Lily) novel Chapter 139

Meanwhile, a luxury car was speeding on the highway from Zuburg to Lagersfield City. A dozen black cars zoomed after it at an equal speed.

Several men leaned out of the windows of the black cars, aiming their guns at the car in front of them.

The bullets struck the car. The car shook slightly but was otherwise unscathed due to the modified bulletproof car exterior. The passengers in the car weren't in danger.

"Fuck!" Shaun glanced at the rearview mirror and slapped the steering wheel angrily. Accelerating the car, he dodged the cars from behind as he turned toward the backseat.

"Neil, how's Loid? Can he hold on until we reach Lagersfield?"

Neil looked grim. "I can't guarantee that. He has been shot in several places, and he has also been poisoned. He can hardly endure it any longer!"

"Then you better figure something out!" Shaun bellowed, his eyes turning bloodshot.

They were in Zuburg for business. Little had they expected to cross paths with their old enemies. They could've initially evaded their enemies, but Loid insisted on going back to Lagersfield City after receiving a call from a bodyguard at the hospital.

Loid's poison took effect after a fierce battle. Losing his usual vigilance, he was accidentally shot. Shaun sensed that the odds were stacked against them, so he decided to take Loid to Rothsville instead as they had men there.

However, Loid refused to head over to Rothsville. He said that even if he had to die, he'd rather return to Lagersfield and die in front of Lily.

As she had said before, they needed to return to Lagersfield if they were in danger, no matter how dire the circumstances might be.

Shaun had no choice but to take Loid back to Lagersfield. But those people had been pursuing them relentlessly. Even if the car was equipped with a bulletproof exterior, it couldn't hold out for long.

"I can only try my best to keep his bleeding under control. There's really nothing else I can do."

Neil was equally anxious, but he knew there was no way to rush things at this point. He could only try his best to tend to Loid's injury.

"We have to find a place to operate on Loid as soon as possible and remove the bullets!" Neil declared solemnly.

Some of the men glanced into the car and spotted Loid, who was severely injured.

The man in the lead continued, "Reese has taken over Lagersfield City. He has ordered that no one is allowed to cause any trouble here."

Shaun scowled. "This is urgent. We have to get in!"

"Shaun!" Neil stopped him and turned toward the man. "Can you please inform Reese that we'd like to meet him?"

"He's not just someone you can demand to meet." The man shot a glare at them. "If there's nothing else, hurry up and leave. Come back after you've finished dealing with your problem."

Neil's expression turned somber. "Why don't you go ask Reese first? What if he's willing to meet us? We're not insignificant. Since Reese has just established himself here, I'm sure he doesn't want to make more enemies, right?"

Politely, Neil continued, "If Reese is willing to help us, the Laurier and Knight families from Bridgeport will definitely repay his favor in the future."
