Chapter 559


    "You..." Hansen looked at his frail wife. Her face was still sallow and pale, but her eyes were calm


    andposed. So what if she wasn''t afraid of that situation? Hansen was terrified.


    He was terrified that something might happen to her.


    He looked at her with a deep gaze. When he saw her standing there just then, he felt uneasy.


    However, her calmness affected him. In an instant, his heart calmed down as if a new energy had


    been injected into him. It was a kind of energy that could only be found when he stayed with her. He


    then reached out and held her hand. Her hand was chilly.


    That day was one of the hottest days ever. It seemed that Jenna was really scared.


    He sighed slightly and said in a soft and gentle voice, "Jenna, don''t leave me. I will definitely protect


    you."


    Jenna pushed his hand away in silence.


    At that time, the family doctor finally arrived.


    After checking up frantically, the doctor said with sweat all over his head, "Mr. Richards, the bullet is


    in his left chest, and the situation is very critical.


    He needs to be sent to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment."


    "What do you guys think? Do you want to watch Reid die or hand ude over and cooperate with


    us obediently?" Hansen had no choice but to let go of Jenna''s hand and take a few steps forward.


    He bellowed at the terrorists who were pointing at them with their pistols.


    Right then, it was their turn to hesitate.


    After looking around for a while, one of them walked towards Reid and asked hurriedly.


    "Reid, saving you is the most important thing. Let them take you to the hospital first. Is that alright?"


    Reid panted slightly, but his voice was calm. "There''s no need. I can''t be saved anymore. Don''t


    waste your energy."


    "Reid." "Uncle Reid."


    His words soon drew the pained shouts of Liya and his subordinates.


    There were cries and shouts all over the ce.


    Reid, on the other hand, looked at Hansen.


    "Is that really the case?" Hansen looked at the doctor.


    "Mr. Richards, to tell you the truth, the bullet shot into his left chest. Even if he''s sent to the hospital


    for emergency treatment now, the chance of survival is still low." The doctor told the truth helplessly.


    "Then, carry out some rescue measures immediately to extend his life as much as possible,"


    Hansen quickly said.


    Someone actually had the audacity toe to Richards Manor to fire a gunshot without him


    knowing. So, what did it mean? It meant that Reid knew something valuable. After thinking for a


    while, he squatted down.


    "Reid, do you have something to tell me?"


    The doctor applied direct pressure on his aorta to prevent him from bleeding and helped him put on


    an oxygen tube.


    Reid''s breathing calmed down a little, but blood was still flowing out of his mouth.


    Reid felt cold from head to toe. Through the roof of the stage, he looked at the blue sky and white


    clouds in the sky with a slight smile on his face.


    "Hansen, I want you to swear in front of me today that you''ll treat Liya well in the future and not let


    her suffer any grievances. Also, three dayster, you must bring Liya to register your marriage in


    Ennd. Otherwise, as long as I give an order, my men will die together with you all. Since I''m


    going to die, I''m willing to do anything." He braced himself up and said clearly, word for word.


    After he finished speaking, he fixed his gaze on Hansen''s face as if he wanted to swallow him


    whole.


    The whole venue was silent, and even the birds were frightened away.


    Although Reid''s words were not loud, they prated everyone''s ears, including Jenna. Even


    Zoe and Octavia were hiding behind.


    Jenna felt that the words seemed to havee from h*ll. With a chill, they drilled into her internal


    organs, making her shiver all over.


    The dark clouds began to cover the sun, and the sky darkened.


    Hansen''s face was expressionless, as he clenched his fists tightly. He tried his best to control his


    emotions, which were on the verge of copsing. Dark clouds were rolling in his eyes as he nced


    at the ck muzzle that was pointing at him with his puzzled and cold eyes.


    The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as his eyes were filled with a fearless light.


    "Reid, I''ll say it again that I didn''t cheat you as my men didn''t shoot you. If you don''t want to believe


    me, then there''s nothing I can do either, but I still have to tell you that I, Hansen, have always been


    straightforward and never liked to do such despicable things. Also, listen carefully, from the


    beginning to the end, I have never loved Liya. I''m a man who already has a family. So, I can''t make


    any promises to you. You''re obviously making it difficult for me to demand something like that."


    Even when he was facing the threat of death, he did not choose to give in, nor did he intend to


    marry Liya, let alone loving her.


    All of a sudden, Reid''s face turned pale, and his eyes zed with angry mes.


    "Hansen, Liya has been deeply in love with you since she was young. How can you still say such


    things to this day? If it weren''t for Liya, ude would have died long ago. Since you''re so ruthless


    today, then I will fight against you till myst breath."


    When he said that, his chest rose and fell violently, and he spat out arge mouthful of blood.


    "Reid." Reid''s subordinate immediately cried out nervously. He then pointed his gun at Hansen''s


    chest and roared furiously, "Hansen Richards, don''t be so f*cking ungrateful. Do you want me to


    shoot you right now?"


    A yful smile appeared at the corner of Hansen''s mouth. He flicked his sleeves calmly and said,


    "Reid, are you sure that your men will be able to hurt me? If you''re smart, then you should


    cooperate with me at this time instead of struggling to death. I can guarantee your men''s safety.


    They faced many difficulties with you. Even if you aren''t thinking for yourself, you should think for


    them. Right now, the situation is that the police have surrounded this ce. It''s impossible for them


    to escape. Unless you cooperate with me, you know the consequences. What do you think?"


    "Reid, you terrorist. You''re still struggling even when you''re on the verge of death. Don''t think that


    your people can threaten us. You and your men have already been surrounded, and it''s time for


    your death." Somehow, Sergio had already arrived at Hansen''s side. He said coldly to Reid, "Right


    now, the Department of Public Security and the police have joined hands and have alreadyUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    surrounded the entire Richards Manor. The encirclement is shrinking as time goes by. So, don''t


    even think about surviving."


    Sergio''s words were cold and ruthless, and his gaze looked very gloomy.


    At that moment, Liya had already woken up from her grief. When she heard Hansen telling Reid


    that he had never loved her before in such a heartless and cold manner, she felt as if she was being


    stabbed by knives. It was also until then that she learnt of the secret trade between Reid and


    Hansen. She realized that the wedding was not in exchange for the evidence used to prove Jenna''s


    innocence she got for Hansen, but it was due to her uncle''s deal instead.


    If Reid didn''t threaten Hansen behind her back, then she would not have obtained that wedding, but


    Reid had fallen into Hansen''s trap at the same time.


    That day, when that man came to tell her in a hurry that her uncle, who had been missing for almost


    a year, woulde to her wedding, she was so excited that she even forgot her identity as the


    second wife at that moment.


    When she was young, Reid, who had always been poor, would buy her all kinds of delicious food


    and new clothes. She vaguely knew that her uncle must have done something great as there were


    several times she saw a few men in ck beside Reid.


    He always came and went in a hurry. Moreover, he would alwayse when it was dark outside,


    along with all kinds of good stuff for her, and then he would look at her lovingly, but he never told her


    what he was doing outside.


    In the past few years, she had asionally heard people saying that Reid was one of the top


    individuals in the underworld, but she had never believed it. Nevertheless, when she heard Sergio


    calling Reid a terrorist just then, she knew that her uncle had joined a terrorist organization from the


    underworld, as others had said.


    However, no matter what Reid''s profession was, he was still the closest family member to her in the


    world, and she looked up to him.


    He was her closest kin.


    With tears all over her face, she took Reid''s hand and kept crying.


    "For people like us who work in this field, it''s just a matter of time before we die. If Hansen can''t fulfil


    my wish today, then my brothers will definitely avenge me." Reid chuckled as he opened his mouth


    wide with bloody teeth. The light in his eyes was extremely evil.


    "Mr. Trevor, the one who shot Reid, has escaped from Richards Manor, but I can confirm that he


    isn''t one of our men. As for who sent him here, we still have no idea. There are too many who came


    here today, and it''s just like finding a fish among the vast sea." After finding out that the one who


    shot Reid had escaped, Lomen had no choice but to rush back in a hurry.


    Trevor just stood there silently. He did not make any noise, but his heart was in a mess.


    The current situation was perilous.


    If he wasn''t careful, then people would lose their lives. He had experienced ups and downs, the


    complexity of the business field, and the grievances of the human world throughout his life.


    Therefore, he knew that those ouws were willing to do anything right then.


    He wasn''t afraid of the terrorists, but the terrorists weren''t afraid of death. That wasn''t the time to


    confront them with emotions, nor was it a time to judge who was right or wrong. The correct thing to


    do right then was to suppress their emotions and solve the problem. Hansen was obviously too


    arrogant. He, who had always been arrogant, would never lower his head towards them, and he


    might not even be willing topromise.


    He whispered some instructions to Lomen and slowly approached Reid. He then said in a friendly


    manner, "Reid, I know that you love your niece. This is human nature. It is very normal. No matter


    what, I must thank you for risking your life to send ude over for your loved one''s sake. Also, from


    that, I can see that you are a person of virtue. Simrly, ude is my younger brother, and that''s


    why I''m able to understand you. Therefore, why don''t we talk about it now? Although you have men


    here, my side still has more people. Furthermore, Liya is still here. You can obviously judge the


    advantages and disadvantages of the situation. Since you can capture ude and threaten us, we


    can also catch Liya and threaten you. If we were really to fight to the death, then it''s hard to say who


    will win."


    Trevor''s words were gentle and polite while his tone was sincere. Reid felt as if his life was leaving


    bit by bit, as he began to feel a sharp pain in his head.


    He couldn''t afford to dy any longer.


    "Then, tell me if you agree or not. If you agree to it, then I''ll immediately get my men to let ude


    go. If you don''t agree to it, then we''ll shoot him at once. There''s nothing to talk about." Reid was


    very straightforward.


    Trevor looked at his pale face and saw that his pupils had started to dte. Reid really did not have


    much time left.


    "What do you think? Will you agree?" Reid ced thest bit of hope on Trevor. At that moment, he


    still hoped that Liya would be able to achieve happiness. If something really happened, just like


    what Trevor had said, then Liya would probably not be able to leave unscathed. After all, they had a


    disadvantage in the number of people.
