Eudoraâs got it.
She had more or less figured it out. After all, she had come across some organizations before. Although she did not commit crimes, she had seen the tools of the trade.
âYou may have been drugged. Thatâs why you are weak now. Donât worry, it doesnât look like it will take your life. I think itâs just weakening you.â
Upon hearing this, Naomi finally relaxed a little. She then went to check on Nelsonâs wounds.
Seeing that, Eudora said no more and slumped in her corner.
She had no taste for playing gooseberry to a couple of lovebirds.
After the two of them were done checking for a while and confirmed that it was no big deal, Naomi turned to look at her mother.
âMom, are we going to wait like this?â
Eudora shook her head and said, âOf course not. Your father will come and save us!â
Naomi was still a little worried. She asked, âThis place is so remote. What if he canât find us?â
Eudora shook her head again. She was exceptionally certain.
âNo, your father will definitely be able to find us!â
With that, Naomi said no more. Deep down, she was still disconcerted.
However, on second thought, there was nothing to be worried about since her lover and her mother were by her side.
â¦
Concurrently, living up to Eudoraâs expectations, Amos was searching frantically for them.
However, he didnât do it openly because he was afraid that the kidnappers would hurt his wife and daughter if they saw him coming.
Therefore, he could only continue his frantic search for them in secret.
The area was too large to be searched by a single person. It was not as easy as he first thought.
But when he thought of Eudora and Naomi, he couldnât give up.
He prayed for them and hoped to find them soon.
What he didnât know was that his every move was actually under surveillance.
Meanwhile, Monique was looking at Amos through the video taken by the long-range drone.
âAmos really does live up to his reputation. In a moment like this, he can still be so collected.â
Richard admired his composure. There were two kinds of men that he admired the most. One was the real hero, and the other was men who cherish kinship and friendship.
To him, no matter how high a personâs status was, he or she could only be considered a righteous human being if he or she has a big heart.
At the thought of this, Richard turned to look at Monique.
âMiss Monique, should we find a way to let them out soon?â
Monique curled her lips and said, âLet them out? Why the hurry?â
Looking at Moniqueâs expression, he suddenly had a bad premonition of what was to come.
âMiss Monique, didnât we make a dealâ¦â
âYes, itâs what we agreed on. What are you afraid of? Donât worry, Iâm not going to kill anyone! By the way, thereâs no one taking care of the company these couple of days, go ahead and do your work. Iâll handle the situation here.â
âIâve arranged the companyâs affairs, Iâ¦â
âAre you defying me?â Moniqueâs tone was getting colder.
Richard had to obey and turn around. He replied, âThen Iâll go!â
After Richard left, Monique glanced at Amos from the screen. Then, she picked up the phone and dialed a number.
âNow, you can do what weâve agreed on!â
â¦
Being together with her lover, there was a brief moment of happiness for Naomi in the room. She was relatively calm whereas Eudora had been apprehensive.
She had been through this so many times. The ominous peace at the moment felt amiss to her.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of footsteps from outside could be heard.
Eudora became nervous and she hurriedly sat up straight.
Two men came in from the outside. They said, âWeâve made up our minds. We want 300 million!â
âWhat?â Naomi was dumbstruck.
Eudora quickly comforted Naomi and said, âAll right. You can call my husband now, Iâll tell him about your demands.â
âNo, just give me his phone number.â
Eudora had no choice but to tell him Amosâs phone number. She asked again, âWhy donât I negotiate with him on your behalf?â
Cody said, âDo you think Iâm stupid? You want to tip him off, donât you?â
As he was speaking, he threw a kick at Eudora. Naomi wanted to block it, but she was too far away.
When his foot landed on Eudoraâs gut, she instantly felt an intense wave of pain.
âYou a**hole!â Naomi scowled at him as he gave a snort before he left the room.
âMom, are you okay?â Naomi was perturbed. In their daily lives, her father took care of her mother so well. Now that her mother had to endure so much suffering while being with her, Naomi felt very guilty.
Eudora shook her head and said, âItâs okay, donât worry. Right now, thereâs another issue that concerns me. Something fishy is going on!â
âWhatâs wrong?â Naomi was still young, thus she couldnât sense it.
Eudora pursed her lips and said, âGenerally, the kidnappers would make the call and ask for ransom in front of the hostages, but they avoided us just now. Itâs very strange. Iâm afraid that they have another purpose. If anything happens, protect yourselves, Iâll be fine!â
âMom⦠â
âListen, just do as I say, okay?â Naomi could only nod and answer, âOkay!â
But in reality, she would definitely not leave her mother behind.
Eudora was soon proven right. A moment later, Cody and Jerry returned.
Cody chastised Eudora, âHow dare you trick me! This number is wrong. It seems that I have to teach you a lesson. Hang her up!â
Eudora was shocked. She replied, âThatâs impossible. The number is correct. Iâll make the call!â
He sneered, âStill want to mess around with me, huh?â After that, he wanted to give Eudora another kick. However, he didnât succeed this time as Naomi kicked him back before his foot could land onto Eudoraâs body.
He stumbled and almost fell to the ground. âF*ck, how dare you strike me!â
After that, he threw a fist at Naomi.
Naomi was a martial artist. How could that person overpower her? He was held down by Naomi as soon as he threw his fist out.
After that, she flung him over her shoulder and he crashed into the door frame. Naomi lifted one foot and was about to strike him on the head when Jerry shouted.
âFreeze! If you move again, Iâll kill him!â
Nelson was subdued by Jerry. Due to the drug, he simply didnât have the strength to resist.
Naomi glared angrily at him, âDonât you dare do that!â
âArenât you a fighter? Keep going and we shall see!â
Jerry pressed the knife against Nelsonâs neck, and a thin line of blood trickled down his neck.
Nelson suddenly struggled and said, âNever mind me, hurry up, take your mother and go!â
Naomi couldnât do that. Eventually, she clenched her fist and let go of Cody.
Seeing that, Cody, who had been overpowered by Naomi, immediately kicked Naomi.
âB*tch, how dare you hit me!â
As he was cursing, he wanted to give her another kick, but he was stopped by Jerry.
âEnough! You have vented your anger. Letâs hang this woman over the cliff outside!
