Such a Rude and Noisy Woman

Chapter 154 The Kidnap On The Stage

"Don't come any closer! Come any closer and I'll shoot her!" shouted one of the kidnappers.

Hiram had come as fast as he could after hearing the noise, but he was too late. When he arrived, the

kidnappers were holding Rachel hostage. There was a black gun pointed to her throat.

Hiram put up both of his hands, his eyes filled with worry. "Don't hurt her! Tell me what you want!"

Hiram said.

The man who was holding the gun had a deep scar on his outstretched arm. He looked at Hiram with

his grim eyes and said, "Are you the son of that old fox? You're acting much better than he did.

Now, do what I say! Get out and sit down in front of the stage. I will show you the two people you want

to see!"

The man said with a sinister smile on his face, waving his hand to indicate that Hiram should leave

immediately.

Chad had just arrived behind Hiram. Hearing what the man said, they both went backward step by

step. Hiram kept his eyes on Rachel, who still had a gun trained on her. Watching her suffer through all

this, his hand clenched tight into a fist.

He hadn't wanted to leave Rachel alone for even a second, but since Lydia was a woman and she was

in the changing room, he had thought it would be inappropriate for him to follow her there, so he had

waited outside instead.

But now, he regretted being so careless!

Seeing Hiram return, Joanna asked in confusion, "Why are you alone? Hasn't Lydia finished yet?"

Hiram did not say anything but slowly moved his eyes to the center of the dark stage. Suddenly, a white

light was turned on, illuminating the right center of the stage.

"It's been a very long time since our last meeting, dear Mrs. Rong, "

Said a voice from the stage. Lydia, who was tied up and had a gun pointed at her, appeared under the

circle of white light.

Joanna was so shocked by the scene that she took a few unsteady steps back and almost fell down.

The only reason she didn't was because of Chad, who had been watching her, and had quickly walked

to her and held her.

Nevertheless, Joanna was also a strong woman who had crossed all the waves and storms. Although

her face was pale, she kept her eyes on the man on the stage very carefully, trying to figure out who he

was.

"What a pity. It seems you have totally forgotten your old friend, my dear Mrs. Rong. You really

disappoint me, " said the man who had a gun pointed at Lydia with a cold smile.

Joanna racked her brain for a long time and finally remembered who the man was. But it seemed so

unbelievable to her that she asked in shock, "Zachary Yan? Are you really Zachary?

But...you... Didn't you die a long time ago? How could you... How could you be here now?"

Twenty years ago, there had been a disturbance in one of their factories, and Zachary had been the

one leading the riot. When a conflict broke out, he had suffered several slashes. At that time, even

though his body wasn't found, everyone said that he was dead. How could he appear here again now?

"Dear Mrs. Rong, it seems you still have a good memory. Thank God you can still recognize me. Do

you remember that my wife and my child died in the riot? I barely held on to my life. Tell me, should I

have my revenge or not?" Zachary asked, laughing bitterly. He would never forget what had happened

in the past. The only thing driving him to survive was revenge. Finally, he had gotten the chance today.

Joanna shook her head. Looking at Lydia, who was still wearing her performance dress, she was very

worried and scared that he might do something to Lydia. She said quickly, "Zachary, that matter wasn't

instigated by Gavin or me. It was an internal fight in the factory. We weren't there at all. How can you

put the blame on us?"

There were numerous factories and companies under the name of the Rong family. After so many

years, it was inevitable that there would be some big and small disasters, and the event that happened

twenty years ago was one of them.

"Are you kidding me? The fight broke out because the workers wanted their rights. It happened in your

factory. It doesn't matter whether you were there or not. Since you're the boss, shouldn't you be

responsible for it?" Zachary yelled, seeming to be out of control when mentioning the incident.

"It's nonsensical for you to reply. Anyway, let me tell you what I'm going to do. I've both your daughter

and daughter-in-law with me now. Let me show you!"

Another light came on. Two men were holding Rachel, and one of them was pointing a gun at her

temple.

When Hiram saw Rachel, his cold eyes narrowed. He subtly waved to Chad, making sure that Zachary

didn't catch it. Then, he stood still watching the scene.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to take both of their lives. But one of them has to die and go to accompany

my wife and my child for sure. I can let you discuss first. Which one would you choose to release? As

for the other woman...I'm going to be sorry, " Zachary said.

He suddenly aimed his gun at Hiram and continued, "You, little fox, you'd better not try anything. I'm not

a fool! If you dare to move even an inch, I'll kill your woman and your sister at once!"

"I won't move. But can we discuss your condition? The deceased are gone. Killing more people isn't

going to bring them back. I'll give you some compensation, so that you can spend the rest of your life

well, "

Hiram said patiently. He knew that he couldn't say anything that would irritate this man even slightly.

Otherwise, he would probably kill both of the women with his gun.

It was a real gun, not just something to threaten them with.

"I think you are very familiar with the wealth of the Rong family. Any number you give me, I can satisfy

you. However, if you dare to shoot, I can guarantee you that none of you will be able to leave here

alive. So you better think it over well before you do anything, " Hiram said.

Zachary laughed loudly and said, "Of course I'm familiar with your family. But now, I'm the one who

makes the conditions. You can only choose one woman out of these two to save. I'm already being

nice. That incident took the lives of two people I loved, my wife and my kid. But now, I'm asking you to

compensate for only one of those lives. That's my greatest mercy to you. So, you had better make your

decision quickly and tell me which one you would choose."

Right at that moment, Joanna dashed forward a few steps and shouted, "Zachary! Please don't hurt my

daughter or my daughter-in-law! If you really want a life, then please take mine.

If you want to blame anyone for the incident, blame Gavin and me. Both these women are innocent. It

is nonsense for you to take their lives away."

However, Zachary shook his head and said with a furious smile on his face, "Mrs. Rong! Tell me, did Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

my wife and my kid do anything wrong? Why were they killed? I don't want your life. I want you to live,

just like me, in regret and self-reproach till you die!

I'm not here to waste time talking nonsense. I'll count to three. You had better ask your son to make a

quick choice! If you don't discuss and choose someone before I finish counting to three, I'll take both of

their lives!"

He glanced at the men who were holding the women, signalling them to be ready.

Under the light, Rachel looked at Hiram powerlessly. There was a piercing smile on her lips. She

thought, 'God, are you so fond of teasing people?

It was just a joke when I asked that question to Hiram. Why are you really making us face my

hypothetical question?

Is the cost for it my life?'

"Hiram, save me. I don't want to die. Hiram... Please..." Lydia cried. Her face was covered with tears.

She was afraid that Hiram would choose Rachel instead of her. She didn't want to die. She really didn't

want to die.

"Hiram..." Lydia kept crying. "Please save me.

Don't let me die. I don't want to die. Hiram, Mom, please save me."

Hiram's deep eyes were fixed on Rachel. She had his whole attention.

"Hiram..." Joanna also cried out helplessly. She was afraid of losing Lydia, her only daughter whom she

had cared for so much all these years.

But Rachel was quiet, so quiet that it was almost weird.

She didn't want to say anything to influence Hiram's mood. And also, she remembered what he had

said before about this.

If Lydia and her were kidnapped at the same time, he would save her without any hesitation.

He had promised that if anything happened to her, he would go after her.

He couldn't live without her.

"Have you made your decision? I'm going to start counting now!" Zachary said.

He started, "Three...

Two...

One..."
