When he deliberately lowered his voice, his face instantly became serious. She had a bad feeling, so she let him hold her hand and hurriedly followed him.
Gradually far away from the night market, the road was long and dim. Their shadows overlapped on the ground and looked long.
With less noise, the footsteps behind her became more and more intensive. With cold sweat all over her body, Fiona got confused, but the man next to her gave her a little relief. "Don't worry, I will solve it."
"Um."
At this point, they were in the same boat, and there was no other choice but to believe him.
Soon, Jeremy and Fiona were surrounded by several men who were like hooligans. They lowered their faces and wore evil smiles. When they looked straight at others, their malicious and insidious eyes seemed to stare at their prey.
One of them sneered and said arrogantly, "You are lucky to be met by us."
Now that it was already a habit for Jeremy to protect Fiona who was standing behind his back. He came straight to the point and asked, "Who sent you here?"
He didn't believe that these people would appear without any reason.
"Nobody. We just dislike you."
"Tell me!"
Jeremy roared to his partners. They were almost scared to death by his sudden action.
This man was too powerful.
Someone whispered, "John, forget it. Let's go."
"Walk away!" The man named John was just the one who came out to speak. He slapped the talkative guy and shouted, "Shut up! I will let you go to hell if you dare to mess up my good plan."
John titled his head to one side and looked at Jeremy and Fiona up and down.
Jeremy said immediately, "How much do you want?"
"Mr. Jeremy, you are such a man of great success." The smile on his face immediately disappeared. John said in a severe tone, "But enough money has been given to me for killing you. Today is your last day!"
"Last day? Just you? "
Jeremy said while clenching his fists. Then he rushed to John and gripped his throat with one hand. He looked at him with disdain.
"You..."John got angry because of embarrassment. He didn't expect him to be so fast.
"Didn't you say that today is my last day? Show me your courage! "
Watching the duck get away, John almost wanted to stamp his feet. Although his life was important, he was once trusted by someone. If he failed to do it, he and his brothers' family would suffer from it, and they couldn't afford to bear the consequences.
He simply shifted his target and shouted at his helper, "Catch that woman!"
But she was fast. She put her arms around the man's waist as if he was her life-saving straw. Yes, Jeremy was the only hope for her to live.
She hugged him tightly. The temperature of his body was very high, and little by little infiltrating into her body. Although the danger was near to her, her heart was unprecedentedly calm.
She looked up at Jeremy's handsome face. Was it because of him?
"Well, hold me tight." Jeremy nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to increase the strength of his fingertips. John shrank his body, and his face went red and the color became deeper and deeper.
"You... Let me go! "
John squeezed out several words with all his strength and felt like he had been hollowed out. The rest of his men were dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
However, Jeremy took advantage of the chance and loosened his grip. Then, he squeezed John's throat again and said, "Why don't you tell me?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. " He pretended to know nothing.
"I will give you another chance."
"I won't say anything!"
Knowing Jeremy's meaning, Fiona took his phone out of his pocket in a hurry and called the police.
