Chapter 159 Some People Laughed And Some People Cried (1/2)
”Daniel! What should we do?”
Rachel stared at the three men who were about to reach their car in fright.
Suddenly, the engine came to life with a roar. Daniel stomped on the accelerator and the car sped onto the broad road, crushing the corn stalks in the way.
It was a bumpy ride, so Rachel held the handle on the top of the car to keep her balance while fastening her seat belt.
The men behind them were furious that they had no chance of catching them now, and one of them shot at the car to vent his anger.
After crossing the mud, the car finally reached the smooth road, and their journey became steady.
”Daniel, how did you know that I was kidnapped?” Seeing that they were out of danger, Rachel finally let out a deep breath.
”Everybody knows it. Last night, there was a big mess outside the theater, so news spread that Hiram's wife was kidnapped.” Daniel alertly observed their surroundings while chatting with her.
Something bad occurred to Rachel when she heard Daniel's words.
”Oh! Then my mom must know about it!”
...
In XH Village, Fannie was sitting comfortably in the yard, basking in the morning light, when she saw Lily run out from next door in a hurry.
”I just saw on my phone that last night, there was a kidnap in a theater in H City!”
”A kidnap?” Fannie asked casually, lifting her cup of tea from the table.
”It's not surprising. Society is out of order these days. Some people don't obey the rules and do illegal things, ” she continued.
”But... the ones that they have kidnapped are Rachel and her sister-in-law!” Lily said, showing her the phone.
Sure enough, the report said that Hiram's wife and sister had been kidnapped.
The only photo in the report showed the policemen surrounding the theater. It looked like they were shooting a movie!
Fannie, who had been about to drink the tea, dropped her cup onto the ground, her hands shaking. ”What did you say?”
”The reporter said that two women were kidnapped. One is Hiram Rong's wife and the other one is his sister!”
