There were two huge iron hooks descending from the top of the overpass, one on the left and one on the right. The corresponding locations happened to be where she and Jacqueline were standing.
In other words, these people were going to hang her and Jacqueline on the overpass!
When Jacqueline realized the four bodyguards' intention, her face turned as pale as a ghost and her body quaked like a leaf.
"You... Are you going to hang us up there?" Jacqueline pointed to the top of her head.
The four bodyguards still did not speak. After the hook was completely lowered, they answered her question with actions.
"Let go of me! I don’t want to be hung up there. I don't want to!" Jacqueline started bawling while twisting her body as she did not want to be hung on the hook.
But in the end, no matter how she resisted, they still took her away.
As Jacqueline felt the rope tied on to the iron hook, she completely lost it and shouted, "No, please don’t d o this. You guys can hang Yvonne if you want because she's Henry's woman. Not me. I have nothing to do with Henry, so please let me go..."
Standing before the other iron hook, Yvonne heard what Jacqueline said and there was a brief look of disgust on her pale little face.
Although she was also very scared, she wouldn't cry for mercy like Jacqueline did.
It was clear in her heart that begging for mercy would do nothing.
Just like that, with Yvonne's calmness and Jacqueline's despair, the two were slowly hoisted up and they were suspended on an overpass that was about 20 to 30 meters above the ground.
Although Yvonne was not afraid of heights, not being able to step on the ground with her legs and being suspended in the air still made her dizzy.
The currents below and Jacqueline's horrific screams made her even more fearful.
She could probably understand why Shaw hung them up there.
It was because he had a better chance at dealing with Henry this way.
This tactic was vicious indeed.
As she thought about it, there was a voice from below.
Yvonne looked down and saw Shaw walking slowly with his walking stick.
Perhaps her gaze was too strong, but Shaw raised his head and met her gaze.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Shaw looked away first and walked to the gate valve.
A bodyguard handed over a pair of scissors to Shaw and he took it. He ran his thumb through the blade of the scissors to test its sharpness and nodded in satisfaction. "Great, now release the signal flare to tell them that I'm here."
"Yes!" The bodyguard responded and took out a small flare gun from the pocket of his trousers, then shot it u p to the sky.
Whoosh!
A fiery red light rose into the sky like a star and brightened the sky for a long time.
Yvonne glanced and the bright light flashed in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and didn't dare to keep looking as her heart was beating fast.
She knew that the purpose of Shaw's flare was to tell Henry of their location.
In other words, Henry was already on his way.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Yvonne heard the siren.
Soon, more than a dozen vehicles came towards them, including several police cars.
Yvonne didn't pay attention to the police cars. Her eyes wandered among the black cars as she tried to locate Henry.
But before she could locate him, she could hear Jacqueline yelling excitedly beside her, distracting her.
"I'm here, Henry! I'm here!"
