Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 203

Nelson was accompanied by Melinda. William arrived at the police station in a hurry. It was a matter of finding Jonas, so those policemen were especially serious, asking the exact time when everyone met Jonas for the last time.

Based on the information of these people, the police had generally confirmed the time when Jonas had disappeared. Then it was recorded in detail.

William was the last one to see Jonas. The police interrogated him carefully.

"Ah! It must be him!" William suddenly shouted in righteous indignation, his eyes filled with anger. He had to go through the CEO's schedule except his private one.

Jonas only contacted one person at that time, Jerry Xi!

Thinking of his identity, William felt even more suspicious of this possibility. He couldn't help but feel worried that the boss might have been killed.

All of them looked at William. He had a long face, and they all realized that this matter wasn't that simple.

"William, please tell us who that person is. Maybe it's also a clue." The police was the quickest to respond, but both Nelson and Melinda were attracted by the man William said.

William looked at Nelson in a dilemma. At last, thinking of the safety of Jonas, he made up his mind and said, "His name is Jerry Xi. He is very similar to our CEO. A few days ago, our CEO asked me to gather information about him, and when I found out that he is CEO's half-brother, he went out to meet him."

His words astonished Nelson. Melinda felt enlightened. She had wondered why there were two people in the world who looked like each other.

"Is it Mr. Jonas who made thet appointment?" Those policemen were good at getting the point. Hearing that it was Jonas asked that man out, they felt there was something wrong with the case, and the one who was involved in it should be the illegitimate child of the Gu family.

The police began to headache. The rich were always annoying, and such things had happened often.

"The CEO made the time of that day. But that man delayed it till the next day and made an excuse that he couldn't find the place. Then the CEO asked him to decide it himself. It was definitely premeditated."

Thinking of the scene at that time, William said all his doubts. Nelson sighed.

"William, do you remember the place they met?"

"He might have sent the location to the CEO in the form of text. We need an investigation." William regretted not asking more at that time. If he had asked, things would have been clear now.

But the police station was capable. They couldn't find Jonas's messages, they then investigated where Jerry was.

The cafe was closed now. The owner had sensed that something was wrong since the day he had been bribed by Jerry. It was a remote place with few cameras. They had seen Jonas from a corner about ten meters across the street.

With a clue, the police was obviously relieved, and their investigation speed was very fast. Although Jerry was very meticulous, it was not enough to cover up the investigation by a large-scale police.

"We have locked up our target at this deserted factory. We will proceed the rescue action tonight. Nelson, please rest assured." The police office would let Nelson know if there was any new progress.

After all, seeing that there were very few cameras, so Nelson had decided to grant the government with the help of the local cameras to improve the security cameras in the city. Then, it would be known that this man was a good friend of the government.

Everyone knew that Nelson had once served in the army. Especially, many people at high positions were either war mates or children of his subordinates, so his status in the city was unshakable.

Although there was no big movement in searching and rescuing Jonas, Jerry still got the news. Looking at Jonas tortured by him to be at his last gasp, Jerry was very satisfied with this plan.

"I didn't expect them to find us so soon. You are so lucky this time," he said, pretending to be strong, but in fact, it was very chaotic. Instead of torturing Jonas as usual, he hastily packed his luggage and ran away.

As Jerry left, the old factory looked more open. Seeing that, Emily, who had been following behind Jerry, rushed into the factory. Leaning against the wall, Jonas had dried blood all over his body and messy hair.

How could he be the sharp Jonas? He was aggressive and sharp at the beginning, but he never admitted defeat in heart, which made people can't ignore his existence.

"Jonas, are you okay? I'm here to save you." But as Emily loosened the rope, she couldn't explain the principle and got even more chaotic. Finally, she found a knife which was thrown away by Jerry from an abandoned machine and used it to cut the rope.

In a daze, Jonas opened his eyes and saw it was Emily. His face was cold and indifferent. Although he was not sober when Jerry came, he was still conscious.

Grandpa must have found something wrong and called someone here. Ridiculously, Emily, who disappeared with him a few days ago, appeared and wanted to put on a show that she save him.

"Jonas, you are hurt badly. Let me take you to the hospital." Emily was about to hold Jonas, but she gritted her teeth. Obviously, she was worried that she might not be able to hold on, but this was her only chance.

There were many variables about this plan. But in the end, it was her, Emily, who saved Jonas.

However, even if Jonas was weak now, he still kept away from the touching of Emily, as if she was a bacteria. The smile on Emily's face was stiff, and the sound of rapid footsteps and subtle conversation outside also came out.

The policemen were not sure what kind of person Jerry was, so they were very careful. Melinda and Nelson were following behind a group of people, and walked towards Jonas under protection.

The closer they got, the faster Melinda's heart beat. She couldn't imagine what kind of Jonas she would see next.

The policemen were on the front. On the one hand, the guards outside the factory said that they saw the suspected Jerry leaving, and on the other hand, the colleagues in the police station began to investigate the monitor, confirming that Jerry had escaped.

Several people rushed into the factory quickly and saw Emily was standing beside Jonas.

Melinda followed them closely. Looking at the mess in the corner, she could no longer hold back her tears. Ignoring the police's warning, she trotted past them towards Jonas.

"Jonas," Melinda cried in a low voice as she hugged Jonas. Emily was standing aside awkwardly. The policemen were shocked first, and then quickly followed to protect the two.

Jonas was in a trance, but he was familiar with the scent of Melinda.

No matter how hard Jonas had been tortured these days, he always kept his mouth shut. Now seeing that Melinda was crying for him, he couldn't help but feel his eyes red.

Melinda held Jonas so tight as if she was afraid that if she loosened her grip, Jonas would disappear again.

She still remembered the domineering and cold demeanor of Jonas when they met last time, but now he was weakly leaning against the corner of the wall, seeming to have no strength to stand up.

Melinda was so painful that her heart was pinched hard. Jonas tried to reach out to hold her, but failed.

And if he was with the strength, he might push Melinda away. Even he himself loathed his appearance at this moment.

"Linda, don't cry. I'm fine." Jonas tried to squeeze out a smile, but it was a little harsh and his voice was too hoarse to say a word.

He hadn't drunk water for a few days. His throat was so dry that it seemed to smoke. When he spoke, his throat seemed to be strangled. Melinda's cheeks were pressed against his, and the salty tears fell on his lips, making his mouth hurt a lot.

Seeing this, the police immediately fetched water and food. Melinda took them and fed some water to Jonas. Her body was still twitching because of crying.

Afraid that Jonas would choke, Melinda fed him very carefully. Jonas felt a little better after drinking a lot of water. As for the food, they were all very dry. If it were not for the help of Melinda, Jonas would have ignored it.

Nelson was standing behind them, looking at them with joy. He thought it was worthwhile to have Jonas suffer in this way, but he saw Emily staring at them like a wolf staring at its prey.

Especially when she looked at Melinda, her eyes were full of green light.

"Why are you still standing there?" Nelson asked unhappily. 'It's so hard to make peace with my grandson and granddaughter-in-law. What if the woman want to do something bad to them again?' he thought.

No, he must find a way to get Emily leave as soon as possible. She would be an eyesore if she stood here.

"Now the police are here. You can leave first. Linda will take care of him."

That is to say, everything here had been taken care of, Emily could leave if there was nothing else.

Nelson's words were very ambiguous, but Emily could understand that. However, the old man looked at her with a worried face and said, "It's dangerous here. You'd better go back as soon as possible."

Emily instantly became angry. Nelson seemed to be nice to her, but he always showed his hope that she could leave as soon as possible. Several policemen almost couldn't stand his deceived tone.

If they did such a thing, they would just ask her to leave, but Nelson beat around the bush with a good intention. However, that girl didn't seem to appreciate his kindness at all.

"I saved Jonas. Do you chase me away without saying thanks?" Emily questioned him. She didn't look guilty when she said that she saved Jonas.

Hearing this, Nelson thought it was reasonable, but then he felt that it was strange to see Emily here.

"Little girl, don't regard yourself as a hero. Without you, we could save Mr. Jonas as well." One of the policemen couldn't bear to hear that she had contributed all the credit to herself. He teased, and the others echoed.

Emily's face turned pale in an instant.

With the help of Melinda, Jonas stood up and looked down at Emily.
