Such a Rude and Noisy Woman novel Chapter 86

It was rather strange that a van abruptly stopped in the middle of a spacious four-lane highway in the quiet night.

"Wait here!"

Hiram ordered. His deep eyes firmly stared at the excessively silent van parked in front of them.

Generally speaking, when faced with such a peculiar situation, people tended to hop out and check what was going on. But, they didn't.

"Then what should we...?" Carl had already unfastened his safety belt. He was about to get off to have a look when he heard Hiram's voice. So he stopped.

"Don't worry about it, just go straight ahead." Hiram said, with his eyes focused on the van, as if he was thinking about something.

Rachel also sensed that something was wrong. She agreed with Hiram. Besides, it wasn't an accident, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Carl sat down again and backed up the car. He was about to leave.

But just in that very moment, The door of the strangely quiet van opened suddenly.

Around seven or eight big men came out of it one after another. Each of them held a steel rod, which shimmered under the light of the street lamps.

"Carl, ignore them! Just drive away!"

Hiram ordered as he held Rachel's head on his legs and wrapped her in his arms to protect her. Carl pressed the accelerator, and with a massive sound, they drove away immediately.

With the steel rods, those guys smashed the car's windows from outside while the car drove past them.

With a loud banging sound, a crack appeared in the window where a rod had made contact.

But luckily, the car drove away before their next strike.

Carl grasped for breath. Although he slowed down the car, he didn't attempt to stop. "Cousin! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Hiram who was sitting in the back seat shook off the glass debris from his clothes and answered.

"That's good. If it had not been for your prompt judgment, I would have been dead by now." Carl said with fear. He didn't dare to imagine what would have happened to him if he had gotten off the car.

Rachel sat back, thinking that it was quite fortunate that they left in time, or they would have been in great trouble. She patted the debris off of Hiram's knees, then asked, "What's going on? How could someone ambush us at the entrance of the Tulip Palace?"

"Cousin. Could it be Patrick Yan's conspiracy?" Carl guessed. They had just returned from meeting Patrick, and all of a sudden this horrible incident happened.

Hiram shook his head thoughtfully, "He is not foolish a man, he won't plan an attack near my place."

"Then... Who do you think is the culprit behind the attack? Jay is already in prison." Carl couldn't think of anyone else who would take such a big risk.

At that moment, they had already driven past the Tulip Palace. The three of them were not sure if those big guys were still lingering there waiting for them to come back.

Hiram took out his phone, and he dialed a call after telling Carl an address, "Take us to Luke's house. We would be safe there."

Luke was a lawyer. He had made a lot of enemies in his line of work. Therefore his house was equipped with both privacy and safety.

"Chad, check a local car with the license plate number of H9437. Also, pull the security footage in front of the Tulip Palace to figure out where that van came from. I need the results within an hour."

Hiram said methodically. 'How dare they ambush us in front of my home, ' he thought.

Rachel was also terrified. She was a little sleepy before the attack, but after the incident, she couldn't think of sleeping.

Right at that moment, she realized that Hiram was totally right. She had boarded a dangerous pirate ship that would frighten her at every step.

After a while, they finally arrived at Luke's house. Luke was quite annoyed when he was woken up at midnight, but he opened the door immediately when he saw the man standing outside.

"You two are..." Luke wore his boxers and looked at them with sleepy eyes. But when he noticed Hiram's unusually serious face, he realized that something had gone wrong, "Wait a moment. Let me change my clothes."

Right after entering the house, Hiram led Rachel to a spare room.
