CHAPTER 425 EXPLOSION
Thud!
Shaw's fat body slammed heavily on the ground, causing a burst of dust and a loud thud.
The four bodyguards who were guarding him heard the sound and they were all taken aback so they turned around to look.
They were stunned by what they saw.
They saw that Shaw was on the ground motionless, and there was a small hole in the center of his forehead that was bleeding. Blood kept flowing out and his eyes were wide open. He still had a surprised expression on his face and it was obvious that he died in fear.
This change of events shocked everyone, except for the people on Henry's side.
Yvonne didn't expect Shaw to die like this, so she was speechless.
On the contrary, Jacqueline's reaction was the most genuine. She screamed after seeing the dead body.
Her screams immediately made the four bodyguards snap out of their daze.
When they were clamoring to avenge Shaw, Henry waved his hand and the policeman behind him started firing his gun. It hit the arms and thighs of the four bodyguards, and they were no longer able to hold their guns.
Just like that, this exhilarating rescue plan also came t o an end.
The four bodyguards and Shaw's body were taken by the police officers to the police cars and they soon left.
Henry personally walked to the elevated gate valve and pushed it down to release Yvonne.
"Are you okay?" Henry went over and untied Yvonne.
Yvonne looked at him with red eyes and didn't answer.
Henry thought she was too frightened, so he hugged her into his arms gently and said, "It's okay, don't be scared."
Yvonne could no longer maintain the strong front she had been putting up, and she buried her head in his arms and burst into tears.
Only she knew how scared she was to be hung on the overpass. She wanted to cry out loud just like Jacqueline to let out her fear, but she could not. She was the daughter-in-law of the Lancaster family and Henry Lancaster's wife.
If she acted like Jacqueline, she would only humiliate Henry and Shaw would think that Henry and the Lancasters were are all just a joke. Therefore, even if she was terrified, she would still endure it. Fortunately, it ended well and Shaw died. She was also rescued, so she could finally cry out loud in his arms and let all her fear out.
Henry continued to comfort Yvonne.
On the other side, Jacqueline's eyes were red and she was jealous.
"Henry!" She bit her lip as she looked at Henry pitifully. "Why are you only helping my sister and not me..."
When Yvonne heard Jacqueline calling her "sister," she shivered a little as she was disgusted by it.
She stopped crying and she wiped her tears as she got out of Henry's embrace. She smiled at him with her pale face. "Henry, I'm fine now."
"As long as you're okay." Henry touched her head.
Jacqueline had already spoken, but both of them still ignored her so she was very angry. Her expressions were distorted for a moment.
"Henry..." She called Henry's name again.
Henry glanced at her coldly and winked at Joe on the side.
Joe nodded and walked over to Jacqueline. "Miss Conrad, Mr. Lancaster is comforting madam now so h e doesn’t have time to talk to you. Let me untie your rope."
Jacqueline frowned and took a step back. She ignored Joe and looked at Henry aggrievedly.
The veins on Henry's forehead started to bulge as he said, "If you don't want to be freed, then we'll just leave it."
Jacqueline couldn't help but widen her eyes as she heard that. She didn’t expect the man to be so cruel and for a while, she was in a daze.
When Yvonne saw her shriveled look, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made the panic in her heart diminish.
Jacqueline heard her laugh and felt that Yvonne was mocking her. She gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but he was afraid since Henry was here, so she held back and obediently let Joe loosen her rope.
"Henry, what happened earlier?" Yvonne pointed to where Shaw had fallen. "Why did he suddenly..."
"It was a sniper with a silencer," Henry explained.
Yvonne blinked. "You actually hired a sniper?"
"We didn’t do so in the beginning." Joe stood up and added, "When Shaw asked Mr. Lancaster to make a choice, the police officer behind Mr. Lancaster and I made arrangements for a sniper to come over as he took cover behind us."
"So that's what happened." Yvonne nodded.
Henry raised his arm and looked at his watch. "It's almost time. You guys should get in the car first and get someone to take you back." "What about you?" Yvonne asked.
He mentioned "you guys" earlier, and that did not include himself. This belongs to .
Henry massaged his temples and said, "This is the place where Shaw stayed. There must be some useful information here. My men have already checked the place so I’ll go back later."
"I see. Okay then. Be careful," Yvonne cautioned.
Since it was his own decision, she could not say anything, so she followed Joe to a car.
Jacqueline walked faster than her as she feared being left behind.
For Jacqueline, this was her nightmare and she was eager to leave as soon as possible.
"Wait!" When Yvonne walked towards the car, she suddenly remembered something. She turned around and looked at the man who was not far away. "Henry!"
Henry heard her and turned around. "Why aren’t you getting into the car?"
"I forgot something."
"What's that?"
"Jason!" When Yvonne mentioned his name, her expression was a little conflicted. "He accepted
Shaw's deal for seven hundred thousand dollars in exchange for bringing me here, but Shaw went bankrupt and he couldn’t possibly have had the money. Moreover, Shaw probably wouldn’t let him go either, so I think he should still be somewhere here."
She didn't know how he was doing, but it did not matter if he was dead or alive. She had to find him.
They were still brother and sister after all.
"I see. I'll ask someone to find him." Henry understood Yvonne's thoughts and nodded lightly.
Yvonne smiled at him and turned around as she was ready to get in the car.
Soon, a bodyguard ran over fearfully and his eyes were filled with horror.
"Mr. Lancaster, bad news!"
"What's the matter?" Henry's face sank.
Yvonne also stopped in her tracks as she was curious. She hadn't even gotten into the car yet. Jacqueline was dissatisfied as she waited in the car.
If it wasn't for the driver who only listened to Henry, she would have closed the door and left already.
"There are bombs here. Time bombs! Hurry! Run!" the bodyguard yelled loudly.
"What?" Everyone was shocked to hear that.
Henry growled, "How come!"
"I don’t know!" The bodyguard shook his head and urged, "Mr. Lancaster, get in the car and leave now. Time is running out..."
Before he could even finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly interrupted his words.
Henry turned his head to look in the direction of the sound. He saw smoke and dust not too far away, about ten meters away from where they were. The raging fire was spreading towards them and it would reach them very soon.
The bodyguard quickly escorted Henry and rushed to the nearest car.
After getting in the car, the driver immediately started the car and drove away.
Other cars also followed closely behind and it was all smooth sailing. However, there was a problem with the last car.
Jacqueline squinted her eyes and suddenly, a vicious light flashed across her eyes. She opened the door all o f a sudden and pushed Yvonne down.
