CHAPTER 423 WHO WILL YOU CHOOSE
There were two huge iron hooks descending from the top of the overpass, one on the left and one on the right. The corresponding locations happened to be where she and Jacqueline were standing.
In other words, these people were going to hang her and Jacqueline on the overpass! This belongs to .
When Jacqueline realized the four bodyguards' intention, her face turned as pale as a ghost and her body quaked like a leaf.
"You... Are you going to hang us up there?" Jacqueline pointed to the top of her head.
The four bodyguards still did not speak. After the hook was completely lowered, they answered her question with actions.
"Let go of me! I don’t want to be hung up there. I don't want to!" Jacqueline started bawling while twisting her body as she did not want to be hung on the hook.
But in the end, no matter how she resisted, they still took her away.
As Jacqueline felt the rope tied on to the iron hook, she completely lost it and shouted, "No, please don’t d o this. You guys can hang Yvonne if you want because she's Henry's woman. Not me. I have nothing to do with Henry, so please let me go..."
Standing before the other iron hook, Yvonne heard what Jacqueline said and there was a brief look of disgust on her pale little face.
Although she was also very scared, she wouldn't cry for mercy like Jacqueline did.
It was clear in her heart that begging for mercy would do nothing.
Just like that, with Yvonne's calmness and Jacqueline's despair, the two were slowly hoisted up and they were suspended on an overpass that was about 20 to 30 meters above the ground.
Although Yvonne was not afraid of heights, not being able to step on the ground with her legs and being suspended in the air still made her dizzy.
The currents below and Jacqueline's horrific screams made her even more fearful.
She could probably understand why Shaw hung them up there.
It was because he had a better chance at dealing with Henry this way.
This tactic was vicious indeed.
As she thought about it, there was a voice from below.
Yvonne looked down and saw Shaw walking slowly with his walking stick.
Perhaps her gaze was too strong, but Shaw raised his head and met her gaze.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Shaw looked away first and walked to the gate valve.
A bodyguard handed over a pair of scissors to Shaw and he took it. He ran his thumb through the blade of the scissors to test its sharpness and nodded in satisfaction. "Great, now release the signal flare to tell them that I'm here."
"Yes!" The bodyguard responded and took out a small flare gun from the pocket of his trousers, then shot it u p to the sky.
Whoosh!
A fiery red light rose into the sky like a star and brightened the sky for a long time.
Yvonne glanced and the bright light flashed in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to keep looking as her heart was beating fast.
She knew that the purpose of Shaw's flare was to tell Henry of their location.
In other words, Henry was already on his way.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Yvonne heard the siren.
Soon, more than a dozen vehicles came towards them, including several police cars.
Yvonne didn't pay attention to the police cars. Her eyes wandered among the black cars as she tried to locate Henry.
But before she could locate him, she could hear Jacqueline yelling excitedly beside her, distracting her.
"I'm here, Henry! I'm here!"
Yvonne looked at Jacqueline like she was an idiot.
His car was not even there yet. How could he hear her?
Although Yvonne was thinking that, she didn’t stop Jacqueline.
She wished that Jacqueline would keep calling so that Henry could find out where they were after getting out of the car.
Screech-
There was a continuous sound of tires screeching, and a dozen cars stopped in a circular shape, surrounding the area.
Right after that, the car doors opened and dozens of people got out of their cars, including police officers and bodyguards.
Henry came out of the crowd, accompanied by Joe. As soon as he appeared, Jacqueline immediately shouted, "Henry, Henry!"
Hmm?
When Henry heard this voice, he subconsciously looked up.
As he looked up, he saw Yvonne hanging in the air.
His heart sank and the expression on his face looked horrible.
"Mr. Lancaster, Madam is..." Joe was also stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Henry raised a hand to stop him.
"Henry, you're finally here. Hurry up and save me. That evil Shaw is trying to kill me..." Jacqueline sobbed and asked Henry to save her.
However, Henry didn’t even look at her. He glanced at Yvonne with restraint, then retracted his gaze and walked towards Shaw.
Just when Henry got closer, one of Shaw's bodyguards raised a pistol at him and warned, "Stop, don't come any closer!"
When Henry saw the gun, his eyes flickered. He stopped in his tracks and remained still.
At the same time, the police officer behind him also drew their guns and aimed at Shaw and his men.
For a while, both sides were locked in stalemate. Although one side had more men than the other, neither of them dared to act rashly.
Shaw's men didn't dare to actually fire their guns, because they knew that once they did, the other side would shoot too and they'd definitely die.
The team of people on Henry's side were all police officers with guns. They wanted to complete the task with zero casualties, so they wouldn't shoot unless they had to.
"Shaw, what on earth are you trying to do?" Henry's furious eyes glossed across the four bodyguards before he fixed his eyes on him.
Shaw was playing with the pair of scissors as he smiled and said, "What else can I do? I'm just playing a little game. On the other hand, kiddo, you brought so many people just to deal with the five of us-you really look up to me."
Henry ignored his mockery and pointed at the overpass. "Put them down. If there’s anything you want to talk about, let's do this man to man. What kind of man are you to threaten me with women?!"
"I don’t care what kind of man I am, I just want to see results. As long as I can achieve my goal, I'll do whatever it takes, so kidnapping two women is not a big deal to me as long as I can deal with you." Shaw put the scissors close to the gate valve and was going back and forth between the two ropes, as if he was thinking about which one to cut.
Henry saw his movement and his expression suddenly changed. "Shaw, what do you want?"
On the overpass, Yvonne obviously saw Shaw's movements too, and the cold sweat on her face dripped down.
Jacqueline, who was beside her, was terrified and she kept shouting, "Henry, help me, help me..." "Do you hear this beautiful cry for help?" Shaw raised a hand and waved it several times as if he was listening to some poignant music with an expression o f enjoyment on his face.
Henry clenched his teeth tightly and didn’t answer. H e just stared at him guardedly.
Shaw put his hand down. "I suddenly thought of a good idea. One of these two women is your exgirlfriend and the other is your wife. Now that they're both in my hands, so I'll give you a choice. Whoever you choose will be brought back to ground. Who will you choose?"
On the overpass, Yvonne and Jacqueline obviously heard those words and looked at each other.
Yvonne saw the ambition in Jacqueline's eyes and pursed her lips. She looked away and turned to stare a t the man below while thinking in her heart that if he really wanted to choose one of them, who would he choose?
Henry didn't know what was going on between the two women. He looked at Shaw and sneered, "So if I chose one, what about the other?"
