Chapter 415 - An Unusual Means

**

Midnight, 1:00.

Jaquan was still sitting at the entrance of the vegetable market. He didn't know where Stony was. After a long-time searching, he got nothing. People tried to persuade him to go back to rest. But he couldn't sleep. At home, Felice's eyes were red from crying. She cried a lot. Because of her leg injury, she couldn't come out to help. The only thing she could do was to lock herself in her room. She hadn't come out all afternoon.

Allen sighed on the sofa. He was old. He was not as energetic as young men. He was out searching for Stony all afternoon. And he was exhausted. But, still, he didn't find Stony. However, he didn't want to stop. He was afraid that if he stopped searching, he would never see Stony again.

Stony, his grandson.

Depression was all over the house. Jaquan forced himself to eat something. Then, he came out of the house and walked to the vegetable market.

He kept thinking of Emma's words "It's none of your business."

He stood up after smoking a cigarette. He was going to go back and force himself to have some rest. He needed to reenergize himself to look for his son tomorrow.

A car was parked in front of him. Normally, no one would drive to this place at this point.

So Jaquan looked up curiously. The car door was opened. Then he saw a woman's leg.

He was stunned. His gaze followed the leg. Then he saw Emma's face. Upon seeing him, she frowned. She did not understand why he was here at this time.

They looked at each other for a long time. Just as Emma was about to speak, Jaquan rushed over and embraced her.

Seeing this, Deon raised his eyebrows in the car. He was about to get out of the car to beat Jaquan up. However, Bernice stopped him. "Hey, what are you doing? That is a handsome young man. Don't get between them!"

Deon was speechless.

He stared at Jaquan discontentedly. He snorted, "If you don't know what handsome means, see pictures of young me."

Bernice sneered, "Stop bragging. You can't compare to him. I'm sure he'll still look better than you when he becomes an old man!"

Deon didn't know what to say.

So he stayed silent.

The entire city was searching for Stony. Emma returned to the market, where Stony disappeared. She wanted to see if they could found any clue. She didn't expect that she would meet Jaquan here.

Emma didn't know how long he had stayed outside. The night was cold. His embrace was also cold.

"Don't say that, okay?" Jaquan whispered in her ear, "I feel terrible, really terrible..." He held her hand and gently placed it on his chest. "My heart aches."

Emma stayed silent.

"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of Stony. I will get him back, but you can't leave me..." He hugged her tightly.

"Why?" She asked Collin to take Stony away. Why did Stony leave with Jaquan? Stony did not listen to Collin?

"Stony was God's gift. What about me?" Jaquan asked in a low voice, "Why can't you also take me as a gift from God?"

Emma wasn't asking about this. But Jaquan's question stunned her.

How did he know this? Stony told him?

If he knew this from Stony, he probably didn't find out other things. Emma felt a little relieved.

However, in less than two seconds, she heard Jaquan say, "It has been five years since you left me. You can't walk away like that again."

Emma's heart trembled as she looked at him in surprise.

He knew this?

Jaquan held her hand and said, "Tomorrow, I will continue looking for Stony. Come back with me. You need some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, the passenger door was opened. A burly man walked out. He snorted, "Back to where?"

Jaquan was shocked.

Emma took half a step away from his embrace and whispered, "My parents are here."

"I'm sorry." Jaquan immediately bowed to apologize to Deon. Then he also apologized to Bernice, who had just gotten off the car. "I am sorry, Ms. Bernice."

Bernice sighed. "Stony is missing. We will accept your apology after we find him."

Bernice did not speak for Jaquan. Deon also gave Jaquan attitude. Emma did want to see Jaquan being treated like this. So she said to him, "We will stay in a hotel. We gotta go."

Deon snorted again as he got into the car. Before Bernice got into the car, she carefully examined Jaquan's face.

When Deon saw this in the car, he was even angrier. As soon as Bernice got in the car, he asked, "He looks like a skinny monkey. I don't know why you think he is handsome."

Bernice snorted, "You look like a gorilla! You are in no position to judge his face."

Deon stayed silent.

His wife said such mean words to him. He was sad.

They drove away. Emma did not turn her head to look out of the window. She heard Bernice's sigh, "It seems he had stayed outside for a long time. It's freezing ..."

Deon snorted, "He deserved it! He lost my grandson. I want to kill him to vent my anger!"

Jaquan stood there. He watched the car leave. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket rang. It was probably Allen. His gaze was still following the car. He answered it without even looking at the screen.

Ferne's voice came from the phone. "We got five possible locations. We're going to check them out one by one. Don't be too anxious. We will find Stony soon."

Jaquan instantly began to run. "Sent me the locations. I'll go there."

Ferne gave him an address and said, "I've already sent someone else over. Listen to the commander there. Don't do anything without permission."

"Alright."

Jaquan hung up the phone and ran. He was exhausted before. But now he felt he was never so energetic. He wanted to see Stony. He wanted to hear Stony call him Dad.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Half an hour ago.

Noah and Ferne were standing in front of Nikhil's hospital bed. They stared at him and asked, "Where is Stony?"

Nikhil was at a loss. His injured chest made it difficult for him to make a sound. He panted and asked, "What Stony?"

"He is a four-year-old boy." Ferne gestured, "He has big eyes and a fat face. He also looks very cool."

Nikhil panted for a long time. Then he said, "I'm not interested in such young boys."

Noah almost punched him in the face. Ferne stopped him. He patted Noah on the back and brought him to the side. Then, he walked to Nikhil.

"Who are you?" Nikhil gasped and asked, "The police?"

"No, we just want to find Stony."

"I don't know who Stony is."

Nikhil didn't seem to be lying. Ferne also believed that he did not know about the kidnapping. But neither prevented Ferne from extorting a confession.

"Alright."

Ferne took out his phone and connected it to a video. In the video, a little girl was crying. "Dad! Dad, save me...," said the girl.

Nikhil was anxious. He wanted to sit up. But the wound on his chest made him fail to do so. "How could you?"

"Although you don't know about the kidnapping, you should know who wants to attack Stony in the GY Temple. As long as you tell me where Stony is, I will release your lovely daughter. Otherwise ... whatever happens to Stony will happen to your daughter." Ferne said fiercely.

Nikhil only had one daughter. He loved her daughter so much. He didn't expect that someone would threaten him with his daughter. He was conflicted. Looking at his daughter's crying face in the video, he finally compromised.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know a few possible locations."

Ferne glanced at Noah. Noah then noted down the places that Nikhil had mentioned. After leaving the ward, Noah opened a map and began to draw.

"He didn't lie. All the places he said are small. Let plainclothes policemen have a check." Noah took out a pen and made a few marks. His brows furrowed as he stared at a spot on the map. He seemed puzzled.

After Ferne informed the police about this. He tilted his head and asked, "What are you drawing?"

"These places are all around the GY Temple and Forest Hot Spring, so I was wondering what is between the GY Temple and Forest Hot Spring."

Noah suddenly remembered Avery's words. Avery told him that Branden and his friend would come to Forest Hot Spring almost twice a month because Forest Hot Spring was on the way to their destination. What destination? What was between the GY Temple and Forest Hot Spring?

Ferne opened his phone and did some searching. He looked into Noah's eyes and said, "It's House of Hope. House of Hope is in the middle of Forest Hot Spring and the GY Temple. Besides, it was founded by Branden."

Noah circled the middle line on the map. The map instantly became clear.

The bar, the club, the KTV, and the GY Temple were all on the same road. The GY Temple was also on the same road as House of Hope.

Ferne picked up his phone and dialed again. It was already 1 am. His voice was filled with excitement and nervousness. "Please transfer me to the police chief. I have something very important to report to him...."
