Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 37 Miles O’brien
37: Chapter 37: Miles O’brien
37 -37: Miles O’brien
Yusuf Zuck actually had many questions he wanted to ask Fleur Carson, but he also knew that now was not the time, for Shanshan was dead, and at this moment, Fleur Carson probably was not in the mood to answer his questions.
After returning to the highway service area, Yusuf Zuck did not hurry to leave.
Instead, he sat in the car and thought through the entire process of the murder he had just committed.
Only after confirming that no clues were left behind did he take out the two phones, remove the batteries and sim cards, snap the sim cards into pieces, and crush the phones with force.
However, he did not discard the broken phones and sim cards at the service area.
Instead, he started the car and drove towards Shijiazhuang.
Although this was a service area, the highway was one-way traffic, so he made a U-turn and would deal with things after reaching Shijiazhuang.
On the way, he threw the sim cards and phones out of the car in segments along the highway.
He seemed careless usually, but he was actually quite attentive to detail.
It was two in the morning when he arrived in Shijiazhuang.
Unfamiliar with the roads, he could only drive slowly along the main streets.
He was hungry and tired, so he decided to rest for a while and rush back in the morning.
Also, he was filthy, his foot caked with mud and his clothing sopping wet and sour-smelling.
He was planning to find a bathhouse to clean up and wait for his clothes and shoes to dry before returning to the capital.
Just as he drove past an intersection, suddenly, a woman in high heels, limping, appeared unsteadily in his field of vision.
Yusuf Zuck was startled and immediately hit the brakes.
With a screech, the car stopped less than five centimeters from the woman’s thigh.
Yusuf Zuck was furious.
He rolled down his window, ready to curse at her.
However, before he could say anything, the woman in high heels furiously kicked at his car hood, “You dare hit me?
You dare hit me?
I’ll kill you, believe it or not?
Get out…
Get out of the car for me…” The woman was clearly drunk, slurring her words.
Yusuf Zuck retracted his neck, pulled back into the car, and decided there was no point in arguing with a drunken woman.
It wasn’t worth it.
He gently reversed the car, planning to detour and leave.
But…
the woman was relentless.
Limping, she chased and kicked at his car while cursing, “I’ll let you run, let you run, I’ll kick you to death,” and so on.
Yusuf Zuck laughed it off and took two bottles of water from the passenger seat to fight the fire and got out of the car.
“Who are you…” Seeing Yusuf Zuck carrying two bottles of water, the woman stopped and squinted through drunken eyes at Yusuf Zuck, “Do you realize, you nearly hit me?” The woman’s tongue was numb.
“I know you’ll probably get gangbanged tonight,” Yusuf Zuck unscrewed two bottles of mineral water and poured them directly onto the woman’s head.
This guy was mean enough – it was deep autumn, and the night was chilly.
Those two bottles of water would surely make her catch a cold.
As expected, after the dousing, the woman’s drunkenness sobered up a notch, and she began to scream out loud.
“Awake now?
If you’re awake, then scram!” Yusuf Zuck glanced at the woman.
She was wearing a tight skirt, so after being doused, her wet hair hung dripping, and the outline of the two buns on her chest was vaguely visible.
The woman was fairly good-looking, seemingly young, around twenty-five or twenty-six.
Perhaps spooked by Yusuf Zuck’s behavior and fierce gaze, after he spoke, she stopped shouting and just stared blankly at Yusuf Zuck, with tears welling up in her eyes.
She was about to cry!
“Alright, stop crying, stop crying.
You’re drunk, go home,” suggested Yusuf Zuck, surrendering with raised hands and softening his heart.
What was the point in being tough with a drunk?
However, as soon as Yusuf Zuck finished speaking, the woman did not stop her tears.
On the contrary, she squatted down and started sobbing.
“Alright, I can’t deal with you, I’m leaving!” Yusuf Zuck declared, ready to make a swift exit.
He didn’t want to cause any major trouble here, especially since he was just passing through and would leave tomorrow.
He quickly got into the car, reversed, and drove past the woman’s side.
The woman, sure enough, did not try to stop him but just crouched on the ground, sobbing quietly.
Yusuf Zuck had driven about fifty meters away and glanced back through the rearview mirror to see the woman still crying.
So, he slowed the car, pondering whether he had been too harsh.
All she did was kick his car a few times without causing any damage.
Did he need to pour water on her head?
When the car reached about sixty meters, Yusuf Zuck stopped, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
“Huh?” While he hadn’t finished his cigarette, a man suddenly approached the woman, squatted down, and said something to her.
Then, two more men approached as well and started grabbing the woman’s arms, seemingly intending to take her away.
The woman resisted and tried to break free.
“Damn it!” Yusuf Zuck immediately shifted to reverse, speeding back towards the woman!
The few men, noticing a car reversing towards them, were momentarily stunned.
They were reluctant to let go of the woman, yet hesitant to hold on.
They wanted to see what was going on.
“Bang—” Yusuf Zuck, cigarette in mouth, got out of the car, looking wretched like a farmer, covered in mud.
“Let her go!” Yusuf Zuck approached the men and commanded.
“Who are you…”
“Husband…” The woman was quick-witted; before the man could finish asking, she proactively called out “husband!”
“Sorry, sorry, we got the wrong person, the wrong person!” The men let go of the woman as soon as they heard that, apologizing with a smile as they retreated, and as soon as she was released, the woman threw herself into Yusuf Zuck’s arms.
Her body was ice-cold, her lips turned white from the freezing.
The men took advantage of the moment the woman threw herself at Yusuf Zuck and bolted away!
“Enough, the show’s over.
Hurry back home, okay?
If I hadn’t come back, would you have gotten yourself in trouble tonight?” Yusuf Zuck pushed the woman away.
Although her chest was fleshy and soft, at that moment, he really wasn’t interested in women, had no evil thoughts, so he bluntly ridiculed her.
“Thank you.” The woman had completely sobered up from the alcohol.
She also took two steps back and bowed to Yusuf Zuck.
“Don’t mention it.
It’s not safe at night, so get home quickly.
I’ll call a taxi for you.” Yusuf Zuck was afraid that the three hooligans might come back after he left, so he prepared to call a cab for the woman.
But…
it was nearly three in the morning by now, and taxis were very scarce.
Even when a few passed by, they already had passengers.
Yusuf Zuck tried to hail a cab several times, but to no avail.
Meanwhile, the woman started shivering even more violently, not just her lips turning white, but her entire face.
“Alright, if you’re not afraid, how about you get in my car, and I’ll take you home?” Yusuf Zuck said helplessly.
“Thank you, I’m not afraid.” The woman opened the car door and sat in the back.
Yusuf Zuck also got in the car and took off his coat, saying, “Hurry and put this on, I’ll turn on the heater.
Just guide me, as I just came from the capital.
I was too filthy and was planning to find a hotel or bathhouse to take a shower and do some laundry.
But then I got carjacked by you, this female hooligan.”
“I’m not a female hooligan, sorry, I had too much to drink earlier…” The woman softly argued back.
“Are you sober now?” Yusuf Zuck asked with a smile.
The woman replied, “I’ve got a headache, feels like it’s splitting open.
It’s my first time drinking too much.”
“We’re at the intersection, give me directions,” said Yusuf Zuck.
“Go straight, next intersection turn right.”
“Okay.” Yusuf Zuck sped up as the roads were empty at night, allowing him to drive fast.
“Then turn left…
now right.” The woman in the back kept giving directions, zigzagging and turning, until even Yusuf Zuck was bewildered, but they eventually entered an apartment complex.
“Here we are, Building Three.” After about half an hour, they arrived downstairs at the woman’s building, and Yusuf Zuck didn’t offer to walk her up, to avoid any misunderstandings.
“Thank you for today.” The woman didn’t get out of the car right away.
Instead, she took off Yusuf Zuck’s sweat-sodden clothes, folded them neatly, and thanked him again.
“After you get home, don’t rush to sleep.
First brew some ginger tea and take a hot bath to ward off the chill.
Sorry about earlier, I can be a bit temperamental,” Yusuf Zuck apologized.
“Mhm.” The woman hummed softly, and took another look at Yusuf Zuck’s face before she finally opened the door.
“By the way, do you know if there’s a hotel or bathhouse around here?” Yusuf Zuck asked suddenly.
“Around here…
You drive, and I’ll guide you.
Let me take you there,” the woman replied.
Yusuf Zuck laughed helplessly, saying, “You take me there, then I take you back, and you take me there again.
What are we doing here?”
“Pfft.” The woman laughed at Yusuf Zuck’s comment, then fell silent, contemplating.
“If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place tonight.
Anyway, it’s unlikely anyone else would wash your clothes and shoes.” The woman spoke and then bowed her head.
“Uh…” Yusuf Zuck was a bit stunned and scratched his head, asking, “Is it convenient to go to your place?”
The woman didn’t answer him, as it takes a lot of courage to invite a strange man home.
She wasn’t promiscuous, so the mere fact that she could suggest Yusuf Zuck come to her home was already remarkable.
Now asking her to confirm, she really couldn’t bring herself to say it.
“Done, I won’t play coy.
Get out of the car and let’s head upstairs!” Yusuf Zuck turned off the car, pulled out the keys – no more being polite.
Staying here would cost nothing, and someone would even wash his clothes for him.
It was a win-win situation.
True to form, the woman got out of the car and led the way in front, quietly, like a thief, careful not to make too much noise.
She lived on the upper floors, and there was an elevator in the building, Apartment 1202 on the twelfth floor.
The apartment was spacious, easily over a hundred square meters, with two bedrooms and a large living room, luxuriously decorated.
Yusuf Zuck’s shoes were muddy, so he walked in barefoot, not even wearing the slippers the woman offered him.
“Let me introduce myself, my name is Yusuf Zuck, ‘Bow’ as in archer’s bow, ‘Zuck’ as in the I Ching.
What’s your name?” Yusuf Zuck asked without sitting down as he also had mud on his backside.
“Louise Garrett.” The woman drew the curtains, her face blushing as she opened the bathroom door and said, “There’s hot water inside, you go shower first.
Put on slippers inside so you don’t slip.
I’ll check if we have any large clothes at home.
Just go ahead and shower.”
“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Yusuf Zuck said with a smile, now noticing that the girl wasn’t bad at all.
He could sense she wasn’t the frivolous type, so he didn’t think ‘in that direction.’ She was kind enough to let him stay and was going to wash his clothes, so he couldn’t be the one to bring trouble into her home.
If he really wanted to find a woman, he could go to a bathhouse, spend a couple of thousand and have fun with several at once.
His stay tonight was purely for shelter.
After nodding, he walked straight into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.
“Oh, and after you take off your clothes, throw them straight in the washing machine.
I’ll come in later to wash them.” Louise Garrett called out from outside.
“Got it,” Yusuf Zuck responded.
Louise Garrett stood at the bathroom door, patting her chest.
This was her first time bringing a man home, and importantly, a complete stranger!
“Achoo!” Suddenly, she sneezed and felt a bit dizzy, still cold.
She knew she was really coming down with a cold.
Leaning against the wall to steady herself from the dizziness, she then headed toward the kitchen.
