Rachel replied honestly. She was terrified.
She was kidnapped by those wicked men. They had threatened to rape and kill her because Hiram didn't pay the ransom they had asked for. If the same thing had happened to him, he would have shared her feelings.
Hiram with his thick and black eyebrows knitted, bent down and took her into his arms to get her out of the car.
While getting out of the car, Rachel noticed that the top of the car was completely cut off. She wondered how they did that. But, it was hard for her to figure it out as she was too scared to think.
There were lots of policemen surrounding the car, with their guns aiming at Jay and his driver. The young man, called Finn was already under restraint.
According to the law, the three kidnappers would be kept in prison permanently. They deliberately kidnapped a woman for ransom and tried to murder her. They deserved harsh punishment.
Rachel was held in Hiram's arms till he settled her into the black Maybach.
The petite woman immediately sank into the leather seat. She looked dreadfully pale out of fear. Her legs were constantly trembling as if they were out of control. She held her bent legs tightly with her arms, trying to bring herself some sense of security.
She sat there and looked vacantly into the distance. She felt like a numb puppet, whose soul was taken away.
After settling Rachel into the car, Hiram stood outside and looked at her through the half-open window. His eyes darkened. The poor girl made his heart ache. He opened his mouth and tried to say something to her, but failed. Then he turned around to see a man walking toward him.
''Mr. Rong, the bank account of the kidnapper has been blocked; and you can get your money back anytime. This kidnapping could be construed as a vicious incident. I will request to enhance the punishment. Jay should stay in prison for his whole life." The man said to Hiram. He was Luke Jian, Hiram's friend and private lawyer.
"As for the money, I will give you a bank account number tomorrow; you can just transfer the money there," replied Hiram. Then he turned his eyes toward Jay. At the same time, Jay was staring at him with hatred.
Jay was held by the arms by the policemen and was being pushed forward towards the police car. Even in such a condition, he would not give in. He struggled to stop himself and turned around to shout at Hiram,"Bastard, just remember. You'd better keep me in prison forever. Otherwise, I will come back and avenge myself whenever I get the chance!"
Luke couldn't help laughing when he heard that. Jay was indeed the kind of man who refused to give up until all hope was gone. He didn't know who Hiram was. As the big boss of such a large business group, he had got himself lots of enemies. He was experienced in dealing with such retaliative actions.
"By the way, who is that girl? What is your relationship with her?" Luke asked, trying to satisfy his own curiosity.
A gust of cold wind emerged, drying the pitiful girl who had been sweating out of fear. The bright stars were shining in the sky. It was a beautiful night!
"What do you think?"
Hiram threw the question back. Luke was a lawyer who was good at analyzing and judging people. Hiram felt like giving him a test.
"Well, allow me to have a short talk with her; and then I will give you the answer."
This was exactly what he liked. Luke walked up to Hiram's posh car. He lowered his body and said to the frightened woman through the window,"Young lady, I am sorry that you are scared. Don't worry. Your man has solved the problem. You will never see the kidnappers again.
Moreover, I think you should make use of this incident to get a large amount of spiritual damage compensation from him. Don't let him get away with this easily."
As Rachel heard Luke's witty remarks, she became quite relaxed. Now that she was back to herself, she knew what she could do to make herself feel better.
"Damn it!" The car's door suddenly opened and it hit Luke's chin.
Before he realized what happened, he saw Rachel coming out of the car with her shoes in her hands. With bare feet, she quickly walked towards Hiram.
