Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 371

The guy who was wearing a mask looked familiar to Rachel.

It felt like she had seen him before somewhere yet she wasn't sure.

"They are here, Boss." The man with a cap said to the man who was wearing a black mask.

Thus, the masked man turned and looked at the people who were standing outside the door. He shot a short glance at Rachel and then stared at Hiram. His eyes lingered a few more seconds on Hiram before he waved at his subordinates and said,"Let them come in."

Nervousness was welling out of Rachel's chest when they walked in. She was grasping on Hiram's hand tightly as she held a crying little boy with her other hand. Her eyes were never leaving the masked man who was sitting comfortably inside the room.

The air inside the room was both heavy and sinister. The man with a mask was skillfully playing with a Swiss army knife as he kept his attention to the couple. Then without any further ado, he stabbed his knife into the table with a loud thud.

"Can you guess who I am, Mr. Rong?"

Hiram gave the man a quick once-over and then laughed. "Mr. Yan! Nice to meet you again after a few days. What's with all the mystery, huh? You really don't have to do all this if you just want to see me. You could have just told me and I'll come."

"Oh, yeah? I highly doubt that. Don't you and Marcia want me to die? You two could have been successful if I weren't this mysterious, right?" said Patrick. He sat on the table and let out a hollow laugh from his throat.

It was possible that Hiram did nothing. Nonetheless, Marcia wouldn't let him live.

The woman had tried to kill him once but failed. He bet that Marcia was extremely nervous after he survived the explosion. She might be shaking to death now while thinking of how gruesome his revenge would be. She would definitely do whatever she could to kill him.

"Cut the crap! What do you want from me?" Hiram hissed dangerously as he protectively stayed holding Rachel's hand.

Meanwhile, Rachel wasn't even blinking as she kept on staring at the masked man. It was a few seconds more when realization suddenly hit her and made her mouth ajar. That man! The man who saved her that day was Patrick! Oh, God! How could she not recognize him?

She noticed that Patrick had been evading her stare as if he didn't even want to look at her directly. Why?

"Well, Mr. Rong, I, Patrick Yan, am a desperado now. I fear nothing. Therefore, you'd better tell your subordinates to mind their behavior and do not strike back. Otherwise, there will be a loss for both sides of the situation,"

said Patrick as he took a clean towel that his subordinate handed him. He drew the knife from the table and used the towel to wipe his knife.

Rachel was stunned at what Patrick said but then looked outside upon hearing loud noises from the courtyard. Her eyebrows furrowed upon seeing a lot of armed policemen in dark blue uniforms positioned everywhere. They were all pointing their guns at Patrick's subordinates. Thus, all the commotions.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Was this the reason why Hiram looked so relaxed? Goodness! He seemed to have already planned everything!

"Stop crying, my little baby. Go and find the policemen there, okay?" Rachel squatted and said to the little boy. How on earth did Patrick get this kid in the first place? She could only imagine how worried the child's parents might be about their son.

The little boy looked at Rachel hesitatingly. He sniffed his nose and seemed to think for a while. A few seconds after, he finally gathered his courage and walked towards the policemen.

The child was welcomed by one of the policemen who had put his gun down upon seeing him. The officer then held the child in his arms protectively and moved out.

"I don't know why you are insisting on this, Patrick. You very much know that this will be no good for you. Listen to me and give up." Hiram said calmly as he looked at the man.

Ironically though, his warning just earned a cold smile from Patrick. "Yeah, I know. I also know that nothing will be good for me as long as you are around. I know by fact too that you don't have to kill me by yourself if you want to. You can always just ask someone and they would be more than willing to do it for you. I'm envious. How is that? How could you possibly take advantage of everything?"

Marcia had almost done everything in her power to the extent of sacrificing her subordinates just to take his life. How could a single word from Hiram drive someone to do such?

What was with Hiram?

Hiram was safe and sound all the while! He didn't even have to raise a finger just to do things.

"Hiram, how about we make a bet? What do you think?"

Patrick's eyes turned sharp on Hiram as he spoke.

"What are we going to bet on?" said Hiram between his clenched teeth.
