Chapter 504 No One Expected Her to Suddenly Take Actions
It was already evening when she arrived, and now the sky was completely dark.
Jessica stood up to leave, but Keegan stopped her. "Won't you stay for dinner?"
"No, thanks."
Keegan also stood and glanced outside. "I have a meeting here tonight. Should I have my car take you back to the city?"
Jessica checked the time and looked at the traffic outside. It was hard to get a cab here, so she didn't refuse.
Keegan escorted her to the front of Spring Villa. Just as he was about to accompany her to the car, a well-dressed foreigner approached him for a conversation. Jessica turned back and said, "You go ahead. I can get in the car myself."
Without waiting for his response, she walked towards the Mercedes SUV parked outside.
The two men in the car saw her coming and got out to open the door for her, inviting her in very politely.
Jessica glanced at their outfits, feeling they didn't quite fit. But some men were not picky about clothes as long as they got dressed.
They worked for Four Seas Entertainment, specifically the Washington branch, usually responsible for picking up female celebrities and related personnel. They probably didn't have much time to worry about their appearance.
With a slight sense of suspicion, Jessica hesitated but got into the car since the door was already open.
Since they were Keegan's people, there shouldn't be any problem.
The car door closed, and the Mercedes sped away into the snowy night in front of Spring Villa.
Keegan chatted briefly with the foreigner at the entrance of Spring Villa but remained standing there. He saw Jessica get into the car and was about to look away when he suddenly paused and looked back at the car.
The car was indeed his. But the driver didn't seem to be.
Before the door of the Mercedes SUV closed, the ddriver quickly put on sunglasses and shut the door.
Who were those two men? Even though the two drivers he sent to get the car were from the Washington branch, they shouldn't look so unfamiliar.
Keegan quickly walked outside, saw the car driving away, and immediately called his secretary to contact the drivers. The result was that the two drivers' phones had been unreachable since the afternoon.
Holding the phone, Keegan's voice turned icy. "Call the police, get people to block the roads, and intercept my Mercedes! Immediately!"
The moment Jessica realized she was being kidnapped, her mind became incredibly clear.
The two kidnappers didn't use any drugs or ether to knock her out. One drove while the other held a military knife to her waist, preventing her from moving. They assumed she was just a weak female celebrity, so one just held the knife to her while the other pressed her shoulder, warning, "Stay still if you don't want to die!"
Jessica didn't struggle. The knife was right at her waist.
The more scared she was, the calmer she became. She just glanced at the driver quietly, wondering how Keegan's driver could be involved in this.
But those two men didn't go inside earlier. Did Keegan not notice them?
The driver suddenly glanced back through the rearview mirror and muttered, "Why is she so quiet?"
The man holding the knife sneered arrogantly, "I guess she's freaking out. How much could a young actress have experienced this?"
As he spoke, he moved his hand from her shoulder to her chin, trying to touch her, but Jessica turned her face away sharply.
The man sneered. He pressed her shoulder again and said to the driver, "She's got some fight in her. Let's see how tough she is when we get there."
The driver glanced back. "Did you see her eyes? Cover her head."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man next to Jessica pulled out a black bag from somewhere and covered her head with it.
Her entire face was shrouded in darkness. She could only hear the car's horn, feeling the sharp knife at her waist and the hand on her shoulder.
Jessica bit her lip hard. She had been calmly observing her surroundings and the direction of passing cars, but now the darkness made her increasingly anxious. These two seemed just to take her somewhere.
But using kidnapping to take her away suggested the destination was dangerous. What would they do once they got there?
The car was still moving. Once it stopped, it could mean they had arrived or were about to do something unpredictable. In her current state, she couldn't escape.
Two men, with a knife in their hands, maybe had more weapons, while she only had her coat, hat, scarf, and a bag containing important documents Keegan had given her. She couldn't make any protective moves that might make them suspicious and search the bag.
Jessica suddenly trembled and said in a low voice, "My shoulder hurts. Can you switch sides? You're pressing too hard."
"Oh, you're finally speaking up," the man holding her sneered. Jessica's voice sounded so scared, and she had been too timid to speak until now. The man didn't switch sides, still pressing her shoulder. "This knife is very sharp. If you move, you could be gutted!"
Jessica trembled all over. "Who are you? Are you after money or my life? I can give you money as much as you want."
She heard the two men in the car laugh mockingly. It seemed they weren't after money.
She shrank her shoulders. "It hurts."
Jessica's acting talent and soft appearance made her seem weak and trembling and the two men a bit more lenient. They weren't after her life, and men's nature often made them slightly more lenient towards weak women.
Sensing the pressure on her shoulder lighten and the knife move away slightly, no one expected her to suddenly pull off the bag and kick the man next to her!
