Immediately, Jared found the number of the chess club and dialed it. âHello.â
âIs Mr. Linton there?â âHe is not here. He got into a minor car accident and is hospitalized.â âWhen did it happen?â Jared was shocked. Did Ellen rush to the hospital?
âTwo hours ago.â âCan you give me his phone number, please? Thank you.â After getting the phone number, Jared immediately called Brook, who picked up the phone in no time.
âHello. Who is this?â âMr. Linton, I am Jared. Is Ellen with you?â âShe left. Hasnât she arrived home yet?â âWas she alone?â âYes, she came alone and left alone.â âWhich hospital are you at?â
After getting the hospitalâs address, Jared sent Stanley to the police station to retrieve the roadside surveillance footage. Although it took some time, Stanley returned with good and bad news.
The good news was that they found Ellen, but the bad news was that she had been kidnapped.
âPresident Presgrave, we found through surveillance that Ellen was pushed into an MPV with a fake plate. The police are currently tracking the van.â
Jaredâs heart almost jumped out of his throat. Ellen is kidnapped? Who did it? âPresident Presgrave, I think I know someone who might harm Miss Reiss.â
âWho?â âGavin Turner. I heard that heâs been mentally unstable since his son died, and heâs been saying that you killed his son. Do you think he could have kidnapped Miss Reiss to get revenge on you?â Stanley guessed.
âDamn it.â Jared clenched his fist. Gavin might be the one. He hung up the phone and immediately made another call. âHello, President Presgrave.â
âWhere is Gavin Turner?!â Jared yelled. âH-heâs driving out of town. Weâre following him. He seems to be going to the outskirts to do something.â
âFollow him closely, donât lose him. He kidnapped Ellen. Share with me your location and keep in touch.â âUnderstood, Young Master. We will do everything to rescue Miss Reiss,â the bodyguard responded.
On the road in the direction of the new city, a black sports car raced towards the direction of the elevated road like lightning. Three black SUVS followed at the same speed.
Ellen, who was being tied up in the van at the moment, was in despair. She couldnât figure out whom she had offended. Thinking about how these people deliberately hit Brook with their car to kidnap her, she became even angrier.
She didnât know how long she had stayed in the van, but she felt they had already left the city. The scenery outside the window was lush as if they were driving towards an uninhabited forest.
Finally, the van stopped by an abandoned reservoir. She was pushed out of the van and tied to a tree by this group of people. It seems they are waiting for the person who asked them to kidnap me.
Their eyes scanned her maliciously, making her very uncomfortable, and they occasionally let out nasty laughs. However, Ellen soon calmed down. She remembered that these bandits had hung up on two phone calls from Jared.
Would that have caught Jaredâs attention? Will he be looking for me now?
Ellen used not to fear death, but now she was scared. She suddenly couldnât bear to leave this world, couldnât bear to leave Jared, and couldnât bear to let her baby in her belly disappear with her.
In the meantime, Gavinâs car was also on the way, and he was driving fast. He wanted to finish this as soon as possible and not let anything go wrong. Soon, he drove into a small road with a reservoir name written on it.
When the bodyguards behind caught up to this. intersection, they stopped first. They knew that following too closely would attract Gavinâs attention. He would most likely call the kidnappers to kill the hostage if he found he was being followed.
The bodyguards immediately checked the map of this road and found that it was a dead end. The map showed that a big river, the reservoir, was at the end of the road after six miles.
âIt looks like theyâre planning to trade by the reservoir.â âLetâs wait for a while before driving in. Weâll hide the car, and then weâll go and rescue her.â
