Liam turned on the monitoring system on Anna's side and listened carefully to the sound at that end.
He was so driving fast that he couldn't wait to show u p in front of Anna.
Bruce's smug voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I can enjoy my rest life with 30 million dollars."
"Hah...."
"I didn’t expect Ms. Anna from Hamilton's family to be so valuable. I really did the right thing this time."
As the distance getting closer and closer, Liam's face became ruthless.
He sneered, "I'm afraid that you have money but you have no life to spend it."
He did not know how Anna was doing now, there had not been any sound.
Thinking of that man hitting her earlier, the anger in Liam's chest flared up.
He must cut off that man's hands and feet and turn him into a stick!
Bruce would pay a heavy price if he touches his woman.
Anna now felt light-headed and was shivering with cold.
She seemed to have a fever.
How could she be sick at a time like this?
She gripped her fist hard and pierced her palm with nails to force herself to wake up.
She had to wait until Liam came.
It had been a long time. He should be here soon!
Knowing that he was coming, the fear gradually receded, and her anxiety was finally relieved.
So, she became so dependent on him.
Bruce sat on the chair, could not stop shaking his legs and rubbing his hands uncontrollably.
He was very nervous, and watched the time passing away.
An hour seemed as long as a century.
He was considering exactly what kind of deal to choose. After all, such a large amount of money, he couldn't let someone cheat, and finally lost it.
"There are 20 minutes left. You'd better pray that they get the money ready as soon as possible! If not, I'll choose to fight to the death with you." Bruce glared at Anna viciously, "If they dare to play tricks, you don't want to live either!"
Anna tried hard to open her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "They will definitely have the money ready, don't worry."
Anna was certain that Liam would definitely come to rescue her.
But she was not optimistic about her dad.
Outside the dilapidated building, there came an earsplitting sound of brakes, completely breaking the silence of the early morning.
Then running footsteps came in the dilapidated hallway.
Next moment, the closed door of the room was kicked open.
Liam’s tall and straight figure appeared in the dilapidated house.
Bruce stood up with a rush, looked at Liam incredulously and yelled.
"Who the hell are you?"
Liam ignored him, and his eyes were focused on Anna.
He saw that she was in a real mess and felt sorry for Anna.
Pain and self-recrimination spread to his whole body.
If he had found out earlier, she wouldn't have had to suffer so much.
He was about to walk towards Anna when Bruce hurried to drag Anna up. Then Bruce drew a dagger from his waist and placed it directly against Anna's neck.
The cold dagger got close to the skin of Anna's neck, leaving a bloody scar in a moment.
"If you take another step forward, I will directly cut her throat. At worst, I will die with her, and neither of u s will be alive!"
Liam stopped and looked at the weak Anna, his eyes were full of heartache.
Liam looked at Bruce, his hands clenched and his blood vessels rippling. He said word by word, " You are not worthy to die with my woman."
As soon as the words fell, several brakes sounded outside the house, followed by the sound of a siren whistling.
Bruce panicked and looked at Liam angrily and shouted.
"How dare you to call the police?"
Liam was also stunned. He just informed James to call someone over, and by the way, called the ambulance on standby.
Damn it!
He hadn't forced Bruce into the right position yet, and this was even more trouble.
Daniel, that stupid man!
He whispered to signal James and the others to stand by in place and wait for his instructions.
Soon, the police surrounded the house and started shouting.
"Listen! You are surrounded. Release the hostage and try to be lenient."
"Listen, release the hostages quickly."
Bruce's back had long been soaked, he glanced at Liam and said to him in a trembling voice, "You exit now. Tell them to prepare a car for me. When I am safe, I will release her. Otherwise if I die, she will die too."
Liam was silent for a moment and spoke calmly, "If you do as I say, I guarantee that you will not be caught by the police."
"How am I going to trust you? Don't think I don't know that you won't let me go either." Bruce knew his current situation, and it was difficult to escape.
"You can only trust me, now." Liam said in a cold voice.
