Chapter 416 - Stony Was Found

**

"Jessica! The GY Temple is surrounded by cops. Merinda called!"

Such a message was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. It waked up Jessica who just fell asleep.

Jessica hurriedly rushed out, quickly took the phone, and put it by her ear. She listened with a serious expression. A moment later, she hung up the phone and turned to kick Stony, who was in the corner.

"Jessica!" What she did scared the three. They were worried that her kick would take Stony's life, but they didn't dare to stop her. They just stood at the side in panic and paid close attention to her expression. "What did Merinda say?" they asked.

Jessica pressed her temple. She hated to be woken up when she was sleeping. But all her anger disappeared after hearing Merinda's words.

The entire police force of City Y was concentrated on the GY Temple. Merinda asked her to bear the responsibility for her crimes. This meant that Merinda didn't want to get involved.

Merinda's attitude didn't surprise her. In the past, everyone followed Merinda's rules. But this time, the man she had just fallen in love with died. And Emma killed him. She wouldn't sit idle and do nothing. She would revenge his man! So she broke the rules and took Stony.

Jessica thought Emma was just a woman. And she could teach Emma a lesson easily.

However, before she could implement her plan, the police surrounded the GY Temple.

Jessica stayed silent for a long time. A man asked, "Jessica, what should we do now?"

Jessica didn't answer his question. She was staring at Stony. Stony was blindfolded and his mouth was blocked by tape. Jessica just kicked him. Most children at his age would cry if they were kicked. But Stony didn't cry. He barely moved. He just leaned closer to the wall, as if he was trying to slow down the force that hit the wall when he was kicked.

Stony was so calm that he even scared those men.

"Drive. Send him over there now." Jessica went into her room to grab her coat. When she left, her tone was filled with disdain and ruthlessness. "I don't think they can find there!"

The others heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. Yes, as long as they were there, they would be safe.

"Bring him into the car!" Jessica was the first to leave.

As for the three men, one was responsible for taking Stony out, one was responsible for cleaning up the traces, and the last one was responsible for locking the door.

When Stony reached the door, something fell out of his pocket. He couldn't see it. He reached out for his pocket and found it was Emma's hairpin. So he struggled hard and cried out.

A man thought that Stony was starting to get scared, so he patted Stony fiercely, "Be quiet! It's just a change of place!"

Then, he stepped on the bright red cherry hairpin. He felt something on his feet. But before he could turn around to check it, he heard Jessica's impatient voice coming from ahead, "Hurry up!"

"Coming!"

So they ignored the hairpin and hurriedly got into the car.

It was difficult to drive in the middle of the night. They were not people who just finished a night shift. And the vehicle they used was not a truck, which was unlikely to stand out. Their vehicle was an eye-catching van. But at this moment, they couldn't care that much. After all, only "there" was safe for them.

As Jaquan drove over, at the intersection, they met on a narrow road with a van. The person who drove the van did not let him go first. Instead, they rushed straight over. Jaquan had no choice but to retreat and let the van pass first. Then, Jaquan swept his gaze across the van's driver under the dim yellow light from the streetlamp. It was a young man wearing a grey coat and a hat. He looked like a worker.

The car glass was coated. So Jaquan saw nothing inside.

After a quick glance, he drove the car over. He took a shortcut. To get to his destination, he still needed some time. When he saw the van, he felt bad for no reason. He thought maybe this was because the man overtook his car. Or maybe this was because he didn't like the man's look.

Just as he turned the corner and was about to enter an alley, he suddenly thought of something.

The van!

That was a van!

People who kidnapped Stony also drove a van!

Jaquan didn't know whether it was a coincidence. But he instantly turned the car around and chased after the van.

The speed of the van was quite fast. It took Jaquan more than ten minutes to see it again. Then, he called Ferne and said, "I found a van heading..." He paused for a moment and found that the van turned. It was heading to the main road where Forest Hot Spring sat. Halfway through, it turned and headed in another direction.

It was like ... they discovered that Jaquan was following them.

Jaquan's gaze turned cold. Now he was sure the people in the van kidnapped Stony. After all, they turned after sensing someone was following them!

"Stop! Don't act rashly! Jaquan Cox! They have more than a man! Don't do anything!" Ferne said anxiously. "Do what I said. Pull over. Stop following them."

Jaquan followed the van closely. He also took a turn. He couldn't believe what he had heard. He asked, "Ferne Dalton, what did you say?"

They called each other's full names. This was not a good sign. Ferne felt that Jaquan wanted to hit him in the face in the next second.

"That's my son! It's okay if you don't want to find him. But I have to find him!" Jaquan said angrily and hung up the phone.

Ferne hurriedly called him back. There shouldn't be any loopholes in his plan. If Jaquan chased after the van, the other party would change his route again. Then they wouldn't be able to catch them in the House of Hope.

"He won't answer! Fuck!" Ferne was very anxious.

Noah took out his phone and said, "I'll call him."

He dialed Jaquan's number. Jaquan's phone rang. It was a strange number. He hesitated for a moment. Finally, he picked it up.

Noah's tone was serious, "We have a plan and we need your cooperation..."

Jaquan pulled over and waited for Noah to finish his sentence. Then he asked in a hoarse voice, "What if something happened to Stony when we rushed over?"

"Although these words are cruel, I still want to tell you. Hundreds of children are waiting to be saved in House of Hope." Noah's cold voice came from the phone.

Jaquan remained silent for a long time and said, "Alright."

After putting down his phone, he stared blankly at the two high-beam lights in front of the car.

Ten minutes later, a Volkswagen pulled over. A plainclothes policeman got out of that car, sat in Jaquan's passenger seat, and handed him something. Then he asked,

"Is it your son's?"

Jaquan stared blankly at the dirt-stained cherry hairpin the policeman handed over. His eyes suddenly turned red. He stretched out his hand to receive it and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where did you find it?"

"We just came out of the suspect's residence and found this at the door, but we didn't find Stony. Ferne just called me. He asked me to follow you. He was worried that you ... would do something to hurt yourself." The man explained and said, "Let's go. We can set off now."

Jaquan didn't dare to call Emma because he was afraid that something bad had happened to Stony while he was waiting. He couldn't focus on driving. So the plainclothes policeman said, "I'll drive."

Then they switched over their seats. Jaquan held onto his phone and hesitated for a moment. Then he called Emma.

He got this number through Ferne. Ferne had tried hard to get it. He said it was an Alberton's. But Jaquan knew that Emma had the phone of this number right now.

"Hey." He spoke in a hoarse voice.

He heard some wind. So he asked, "Where are you?"

It seemed Emma had just closed the window. She replied, "In the car, we'll be at House of Hope soon." She roughly knew what Jaquan was going to say, so she explained, "The police called my dad. We're on our way."

The car jolted, and the passenger locker suddenly loosened. A rose sealed in a glass bottle fell out and rolled at his feet. Jaquan lowered his head and picked up the flower. He remembered what Trevor had said at that time. But now he felt bitter.

Over the phone, he said to Emma, "I wish I could give it to you in person."

The premise was that Stony was safe and sound.

Emma didn't understand what he meant, but she didn't ask. She was always so indifferent. No one would know what she was thinking about. That was why Jaquan had been tricked by her for so long.

He took a deep breath and said, "See you later."

Emma said yes.

The phone was hung up. Jaquan held the glass bottle in one hand and the hairpin in the other. The joints of his bones turned white due to his tight grab.

Not long after, the phone rang again. It was Allen.

"Your mother and I can't sleep. We drove out. Where are you?"

Jaquan looked at the time. It was almost two.

He gave the name of a place, "I'll go get Stony."

Allen said in a relaxed tone, "Your mother and I will go over as well."

Jaquan hung up the phone.
