Chapter 202 The Discovery
Chapter 202 The Discovery
In the Gu's mansion, Nelson was sitting alone at the table in the main villa, and Gavin had been taking care of him beside him for ten years.
The more crowded the servants around him, the more desolate and lonely Nelson looked now. Looking at the dishes on the table, Nelson didn't eat for a long time.
"Mr Nelson, don't you like the food today? I'll tell the cook to prepare something new."
Gavin saw Nelson put down his chopsticks. His wrinkled face was full of worry. He glanced at the door from time to time.
The young master didn't bring young lady back, but he himself disappeared.
"It's been a few days since we met last time. Why don't he call me? He is getting more and more annoying."
Nelson put down his face. Although he was old, he was shrewd. But the wrinkles were dense, indicating that he was worried.
He hoped that there was some new progress since Jonas did not come back home these days, but a few days passed and it was time to bring her back home.
Nelson was speechless. When Gavin saw it, he was so nervous about his young master. He smiled and said to Nelson, "Maybe it's because the two of them have made up and they are happy now."
"Happy? No matter how excited they are, he should at least give me a piece of news. If he make up with Linda, he should take her back. Isn't it improper staying outside?" Nelson rolled his eyes and became angrier.
Linda was the one whom everyone wanted to go back home and it was improper to hide her outside?
Gavin smiled awkwardly. He knew that he couldn't save young master this time. Every time he spoke for him in front of Nelson, he would risk his life.
Nelson scolded Jonas as he was mad at him. But Jonas was his grandson after all, and he had been worried about him since he did not come back home these days. Nelson could hardly sit at the table. He ran to the couch and dialed the number in Jonas's office.
The staff in the office called William in unison when they received the number from the Gu's mansion.
"Mr. Nelson, what can I do for you?"
William had always been the bridge between Nelson and Jonas, and he was also the one who was familiar with the Gu's mansion in the CEO office, so he respected Nelson more than anyone else.
By now, he was clearer what Nelson called here for.
When he thought of the fact that the boss hadn't shown up for several days, the group of people in the secretarial room were all very busy. They even had to split up their strength to deal with Aron's men.
William had tears in his eyes.
"Where is your boss? In the company?"
asked Nelson in a hurry as soon as the phone was connected, but his concern seemed to be full of thorns and he didn't want to be noticed. William had been accustomed to the attitude of Nelson to Jonas, and could not help smiling.
But later, the smile on her face gradually froze. Nelson was looking for the boss? 'The boss has been staying at home these days, hasn't he?'
William's smile froze on his face as he had noticed that there was something wrong.
"Boss didn't come to the company these days. I thought he was at home... Mr. Nelson, is there anything wrong?" William swallowed hard and asked. A touch of remorse appeared on his face instantly.
The boss had been gone for a few days, but he, as his personal secretary, didn't notice anything and even thought that he was at home.
But it was not all his fault. Jonas didn't like others to ask where he was going.
Hearing this, Nelson was in a better mood than Jonas's secretary. He guessed that Jonas might have a good relationship with Melinda.
He was still very optimistic. He said to William, "It's okay. You can go to work now."
After hanging up the phone, Nelson called Melinda's number. His memory has begun to go, but Melinda's number was very clear.
It was lunch break. Melinda was about to go out for lunch when she received a call from the Gu's mansion. She was a little surprised, too. Since the lunch that day, Jonas had never appeared. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Could it be him now?
"Hello." Melinda made a gesture to her colleague and sat down again. Her voice was clear and somewhat perturbed.
She didn't feel anything when Jonas was chasing after her. Keeping in touch after these days made her nervous.
But she began to comfort herself secretly in her heart. See, what Jonas said was just a joke. Otherwise, he would not have disappeared for so many days. If he suffered from a blow, she would first not believe it.
"Linda, how are you doing?" Nelson was always amiable when he talked to Melinda. His amiable behavior reminded Melinda of her own grandfather easily.
She was wearing a set of business suit and sat in her office. Her chin was in her left hand, and her right hand was holding her cell phone, which made her look like she was not awake. But if someone called her, her eyes would be as bright as the stars.
She slightly raised the corners of her mouth and curled her eyes, as if she were acting like a spoiled child. She said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Have you taken good care of yourself? Are you feeling well recently? Although the food I gave you last time is not worth much, it is good for your health. Remember to eat..."
After Melinda went on for a long time, Nelson felt much better. The girl cared about him from the bottom of her heart.
Gavin was a little worried when he saw the look on Nelson's face. Then he reminded his master not to forget to ask about the whereabouts of his young master.
Nelson smiled in embarrassment. He had not contacted with Linda for a long time and had forgotten his purpose after nagging.
"Linda, is Jonas with you recently?" The question sounds a bit tricky. If it was true, Melinda's face would definitely turn red, but at this moment she was completely confused.
When was Jonas with her? "Grandpa, I haven't seen him for several days."
Melinda was frank with him. There was no response from him for a long time, which made her realize that there was something wrong. Nelson seldom called her to ask about the whereabouts of Jonas. Could it be...
Melinda became more and more anxious. She asked with concern, "Grandpa, what happened to him?"
"I'm not sure yet. But Linda, if you don't know where he is now, he should be missing for a few days."
From the serious expression on Nelson's face, Gavin knew that something bad had happened. Though he was still in the high position, he actually had a lot of dangers behind him.
Especially when it came to Jonas. Behind him, there were a group of people, including Aron, who were glaring at him.
"How long have you lost contact?" Melinda stood up excitedly. The colleagues who had not left the Department looked at her up and down. She weakly supported the chair to sit down.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's possible." Nelson recalled the way he made a call to Jonas. But he found it was a bit inconspicuous. Both of them hung up the phone in silence.
Nelson asked an old man who was familiar with the business field to see if he had seen any social engagement of Jonas recently. He called those men in small groups.
Sitting on the seat, Melinda was in a trance. She kept calling Jonas, but she couldn't get through.
After repeating it for several times, Melinda could not help but stumble out of the office.
"Hey, Mel, are you going to have lunch? Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me!" a colleague asked with doubt, but she failed to stop Melinda's hurried steps.
Inside the shabby factory building, the sun was hot outside, but only the fine sunlight shone in. The faint light of the sun reminded the person inside that the night had passed, and a new day was coming.
The man lying on the ground was covered in blood. His expensive suit was in shreds and dangerously hung on him. It seemed that he could completely tear the suit apart as long as he found a key part.
Jonas curled up to the side and showed a gesture of defense. He hadn't eaten anything for a few days, and his face was very thin. His lips were dry, as if he had been walking in the desert for a long time. Even there was a trace of blood in the dry white.
His eyes were still threatening, but his previous arrogance had completely disappeared, and he had remembered the tortures in the past few days, and he could see that Jerry did not dare to kill him!
But everything would be different as long as he was out. Jonas had no soft heart.
He had already begun preparing, and if he went out, what would he do with Jerry.
But he didn't know when they would find him missing. Thinking of this, a figure suddenly appeared in Jonas's mind.
Jonas wondered if Linda would worry about him. Thinking of Melinda, an indescribable perseverance enveloped him. He had endured the hardship because of this these days.
Melinda, whom he missed so much, rushed back to the Gu's mansion in a panic. She asked for his information as soon as she found Nelson.
"Grandfather, it has been several days. Let's call the police."
Melinda now hated that she loved reading novels a lot. She had read some cases recently and felt very creepy. The death of those who had lost contact with people was lingering in her mind.
Thinking of Jonas might be like that, Melinda was immersed in her own sorrow. It took a long time for Nelson to wake her up.
"Linda, do you want to have a rest at home?" Nelson asked with concern. He was glad to see that Linda cared about Jonas. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so worried.
Nelson was as worried as Melinda, but he was unusually calm at this time because he was used to the life with storms.
Melinda shook her head and made up her mind to go with them to the police station. Gavin had already arranged everything. The police station had also be informed by him that Nelson had not officially registered it, and they began preparing for it.
"Mr. Nelson, don't worry. We all know Mr. Jonas's contribution to the city. The police will certainly try our best to find him." The chief of the police station was sent to receive Nelson in person, and all the other policemen were sent out to look for Jonas.
