Chapter 161 How About I Help You


    "Rachel, wake up!" Daniel suddenly sat up and nudged Rachel awake.


    It hadn''t been easy for Rachel to force herself to sleep even though she was extremely exhausted. So


    when Daniel woke her up suddenly, she felt tired and dizzy. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw


    Daniel quickly draw the curtains and open the window.


    "Open the door! We''re police. We''re raiding the hotel!


    Open the door quickly. Otherwise, we''ll kick it open!"


    The people outside shouted, knocking incessantly on the door.


    Daniel stuck his head out of the window and looked down. When booking the room, he had chosen the


    room on the second floor with the easiest ess to the ground.


    "Shh. Keep silent. They''re not police, " he whispered, beckoning her over with a wave.


    Rachel quickly sat up, put on her shoes and walked to him. She whispered, "How do you know that


    they''re not police?"


    Daniel moved a chair to the windowsill and climbed up on it. Then he said, "Have you ever seen the


    police raid only one room when they are conducting a surprise inspection? Besides, even if they are


    police, this area is under Zachary''s control, so how can we be sure that they aren''t colluding with him?


    I''ll go down first, then I''ll help you."


    Daniel was sure he was right. He was a light sleeper, but he hadn''t heard knocking on any other doors.


    Besides, it was almost morning. Why hadn''t they raided the hotelst night instead of today morning?


    They must be lying about their identities.


    As he spoke, Daniel stepped onto the windowsill and pressed himself against the wall. He lowered


    himself down carefully and ced his feet on the windowsill of the room below, then waved his hand to


    Rachel.


    Rachel nced at the door, knowing that Daniel was probably right. Since they hadn''t opened the door


    after such a long time, the people outside had started to kick it!


    "They aren''t opening the door for us. Kick it open!" The doors of hotel rooms in small towns were never


    strong or solid.


    After a few hard kicks, cracks began to appear on the door.


    Rachel didn''t dare to stay in the room. She stepped on the chair and climbed out of the window, then


    Daniel helped her down. As soon as she could stand firmly on the windowsill below, he jumped down to


    the ground.


    When Rachel jumped down after him, they heard a bang. The door had been kicked open!


    Daniel held her wrist and ran towards his car before noticing that it was surrounded by several people.


    "Great, now we can''t go back to the car. We have to go in another direction. Maybe we can call a


    taxi..."


    He was ready to run away with Rachel, but just then, several men walked up to them and blocked their


    way.


    "Run. Keep running! Why don''t you run?"


    Shouted one of the men. He was one of the men who had chased Daniel and Rachel in the mountain.


    He looked strong.


    Seeing so many of them blocking their way, Rachel was scared. She held Daniel''s hand tightly and


    asked, "Daniel, what do we do now?"


    "Take it easy. At least this time, I''m with you, right?" Danielforted her with a smile.


    ''It seems we can''t run away now, '' Daniel thought.


    "Come here and catch them!" the strong manmanded in a booming voice. The other four sturdy


    men rushed to Daniel and Rachel and caught them.


    Daniel didn''t resist. He knew that if he did, they would start hitting him.


    If there had been only two men here, Daniel would have tried to face them. But there were five men


    and one of them was amander, so Daniel knew it would be impossible for him to fight and win.


    "Daniel... I''m so sorry. You''re in this mess because of me!" Rachel said. She bit her lips and looked at


    Daniel, who was pushed down to the ground.


    "Take them back!" the strong man shouted. Rachel and Daniel were dragged to a minibus by two men


    each.


    Daniel smiled as if everything was okay. He looked at Rachel and said, "Don''t talk nonsense. If I were


    afraid of ending up in a mess, I would have chosen to stay in H City!"


    Although Daniel was in the grip of two men, he was still optimistic. He was strong and didn''t lose hope.


    He looked at Rachel with a broad smile.


    Daniel and Rachel were taken to a brick house.


    Inside one of the rooms, Rachel came face to face with Zachary again.


    "Girl, I guess I was wrong. I never thought that a man other than Hiram would risk his life to save you!"


    Zachary nced at Daniel and continued, "If you had known that this man would risk his life for you,


    you should have married him. Why did you marry the son of the old fox?"


    Rachel looked at the long and ugly scar on his arm. Then she looked away and humphed. "You''re right.


    If I''m alive after this, I''ll take your advice into consideration.


    So you''d better not let them beat him to death. Otherwise, I don''t think I''ll ever find a man who will risk


    his own life to save me again."


    Daniel, who was covering his head with his hands as he was being beat up, narrowed his eyes in


    surprise and nced at Rachel when he heard her words.


    Zachary took a drag from his cigarette, then nced at Daniel and waved to his subordinates. "Stop.


    Didn''t you hear what she said? She''ll take my advice. If you beat him to death, she will be a widow.


    That''s not good!"


    As he spoke, Zachary walked to Daniel, who was lying still on the ground and breathing heavily. He


    crouched down and looked at him. "You''re really good-looking. In fact, you''re more pleasing to my eyes


    than Hiram.


    Tell me. Why did youe to save her?"


    As he spoke, Zachary stubbed out his cigarette on the back of Daniel''s hand.


    Daniel gritted his teeth and silently bore the pain. He raised his head and nced at Rachel, who was


    staring at him worriedly. "I regard Hiram as my brother, and she''s my friend. I couldn''t just stand by and


    do nothing when I knew she was kidnapped, " he said.


    "Oh? You regard Hiram as your brother? No wonder you work yourself to the bone for him. I knew it.


    Hiram is strong and clever, and he can fight several people at the same time, but that''s not all. He also


    has some friends like you that are ready to die for him. That''s why I could never get close enough to


    hurt him, "


    Zachary said, deep in thought. He stood up and nced at Rachel before shifting his eyes to Daniel


    again.


    "How about I help you?"


    Zachary suddenly said. He asked one of his men toe close and ordered him to prepare something.


    Rachel didn''t know what he was up to. She sat in the corner with her knees held up to her chin and


    looked at Daniel, who was too weak to even stand up.


    ''If Hiram finds out that his woman has had sex with a friend he treats like a brother, how will he feel?''


    Zachary thought. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he imagined how betrayed Hiram would feel.


    "The betrayal would scar him for life, " Zachary said out loud.


    Daniel, who was wiping the blood on the corner of his mouth, raised his head at Zachary''s words and


    looked at him angrily. "What are you talking about? What are you going to do?"

    "What am I going to do? What I''m going to do is help you. This girl here didn''t marry a good man, so


    I''m going to be a matchmaker for her. I am helping both of you?"


    As Zachary spoke, his man returned with bottles of liquid aphrodisiac from an adult shop nearby.


    "Don''t think that I can''t see through you, " he continued. "You protected her and saved her at the risk of


    your own life. I don''t believe that you did all this just because of your brotherly friendship with Hiram."


    Zachary grabbed a bottle of aphrodisiac, then patted Daniel''s face and said, "Since you like her and


    she likes you, today is the day when you have sex with her!"


    Then, turning to his men, he added, "Come here and open his mouth."


    Rachel quickly stood up and strode to them. She pulled away the man who was about to force Daniel


    to drink the aphrodisiac and stood in front of Daniel to protect him.


    "What do you want?!" she shouted. "Zachary, you used to have a wife and a kid. You know that we''re


    innocent. If your wife and kid weren''t dead, they would also look down on you for everything you''ve


    done!"


    When Rachel mentioned his wife and kid, Zachary was infuriated. "Yes! I know that you''re innocent. But


    so what? In this world, being a good man doesn''t get you anything!


    Once upon a time, I worked so hard for Hiram''s family, but look what that got me! I lost my wife and my


    kid! So, I won''t be a good man any longer.


    Come here and force him to drink a bottle of this! And force her to drink a bottle, too!"


    As soon as Zachary finished his words, Rachel was separated from Daniel. A man forced her to open


    her mouth.


    "No!" she cried out, shaking her head desperately.


    She didn''t want to drink it and she couldn''t drink it! No!
