Chapter 200
Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall
Chapter 200 Emma leaned back against the chair in the police station, looking somewhat lazy. Her voice, delicate but not flirtatious, event carried a hint of coolness as she said, âHave you ever seen a black market software that can hack the numbers inside.
government compounds?â
Lennonâs house was not like other peopleâs houses. The Burnson familyâs courtyard was in a signalâblocking area.
Hackers with ordinary skills really couldnât get his homeâs phone number and address.
The police officerâs expression turned a little awkward. âFrom what youâre implying, you intentionally hacked Lennonâs number specifically?â he said. âDonât you know who Lennon is? Ordinary people may be jailed for three to five months for cybercrime. If you steal his information, your sentence will at least be doubled Facing the police officer who fulfilled his duties conscientiously and responsibly in educating her, Emmaâs attitude was surprisingly good. She didnât get angry or mock him. She just listened.
It wasnât until the police officer said the following statement that her attitude changed. âLennon said you even threatened him over the phone.â he said. âHurry up and tell the truth. How did you threaten him?â
The stunningly beautiful girl placed her phone on the table and pressed the white button. A recording began to play.
âIs this considered a threat?â Emma asked.
The recording unexpectedly contained the conversation she had with Lennon over the phone that day.
Emmaâs phone screen had an automatic recording function, so everything she said to Lennon that day was recorded very clearly.
When the police officer heard the recording on Emmaâs phone, he was slightly stunned.
He thought, âWell... How come this doesnât match what Lennon reported? Lennon said Emma threatened his personal safety.
But the recording Emma presented doesnât contain a single threat.â
The recording was full of Emmaâs rational, neutral, and objective suggestions. The police officer even found her arguments quite reasonable.
âWait a minute,â the police officer said as he put down his pen. âLetâs doubleâcheck this.â
Emma raised her eyebrows and relaxed, looking around in boredom.
Just then, Erza returned to the Burnson familyâs courtyard as soon as he got off the plane.
He was prepared to settle the score with Lennon.
As soon as he reached the door of Lennonâs study, he heard him talking over the phone with someone from the police station.
âIn the recording, she didnât threaten me. Canât that prove she threatened me elsewhere? Mr. Hayden, I am Lennon Burnson. Is there even a need for me to fabricate facts? Humph, I didnât say it directly, but donât you catch on to what Im trying to imply? I want her to go to jail! I donât want to see her around my grandson again!â
Lennon hung up the phone. Surprisingly, there was a hint of relaxation on his face.
At this moment, Erza rushed in with a furious look, pointing at Lennon with his finger still wrapped in bandages.
âWhat did you mean by what you just said on the phone?â he asked.
Chapter 200 Erza still didnât know that something had happened to Einma.
However, after listening to Lennonâs phone conversation, he sort of realized that Lennon was trying to frame someone again.
Lennon did not expect Erza to return at this moment. His face was sullen, but he said nothing.
Erza pointed at him and said, âWho were you talking about? Itâs Emma, right? What did you do to Emma?â
Lennon was furious. He smashed a cup onto the floor with a clari âDonât assume you donât have to join the army just because you won first place this time!â he said. âYou have to go to the enlistment this time aorund, whether you want to or not!â
Erza was now completely certain that the person who drugged and reported him behind his back was his own grandfather.
The young manâs handsome face trembled slightly and twitched because of anger.
A surge of violent emotion raged in his chest, but in the end, he suppressed it.
âFrom now on, youâre no longer my grandfather,â he said.
With that said, Erza gritted his teeth and left the Burnson familyâs courtyard.
âYouâre not allowed to leave!â Lennon said as he angrily supported himself with his walking stick. âStop him!*
A few soldiers rushed out to block Erza As soon as their hands touched Erza, he knocked them down to the ground.
Erza had spent years diligently training and had undergone professional training at Charon Military School. Few people could defeat him.
That once defenseless little puppy had now grown into a fierce wolf.
Lennon clutched his chest and pointed at him with a trembling finger, saying, âIf you have balls, take a step forward!â
Erza glanced back at him coldly.
A long while later, he laughed selfâdeprecatingly.
The young manâs eyes were bloodshot. Lennon looked into Erzaâs eyes, seemingly not expecting Erza to have such a gaze, which caused his own heart to skip a beat for some reason.
The next moment, he fixed his gaze Then, he left without looking back.
×§×× Lennon.
At a junction in Holy Mountain, Liamâs phone had no signal, but Josiah could see the paths that he had taken through the surveillance cameras by the roadside.
Liam seemed to have the intention to contact him as well.
The black Maybach stopped at the last spot of Holy Mountain that directly faced the camera and never moved again.
Josiah immediately felt that Liam was also waiting for him to appear.
Chapter 200 Half an hour later, his car caught up with Liamâs car.
The two of them got out of the car after seeing each otherâs license plate.
âMr. Hall, Josiah said respectfully, Liam was smoking in the night. When he saw Josiah, he dropped the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with his foot.
âWhereâs Emuna?â he asked.
Josiah said, âMiss Wilson ran into some trouble.
Just then, Liamâs phone rang.
He glanced at Josiah. This was an area with unstable signals.
The signal finally came through. The caller wasnât Emma. It was Erza.
Liam frowned as he said, âWhatâs up?â
Erzaâs voice sounded a little nervous over the phone. I suspect that Emma may have been set up by my grandfather,â he said.
In the police station, the police officer came and went.
Emma had already begun twirling a pen in boredom.
Seeing the police officer return, she restrained herself a little and put the pen back.
âAre you done investigating?â she asked.
The police officer remained silent for a moment before saying. We still believe that your lateânight intrusion into personal privacy and the nature of this call canât clear you of suspicion of threats and intimidation.â
Emma was left speechless.
She thought, âThe other party is an old man who is nearing seventy and has extensive networks as well as capabilities in Troin City. Iâm just a penniless student who appears to have some skills. What threat and intimidation can I pose to someone like Lennon?â
Emmaâs expression turned somewhat cold.
She thought, âClearly, the officers are acting under Lennonâs instructions. Lennon clearly has the intention to retaliate against me because of the incident concerning Erzaâ
Eventually, the police officer said to Emma, Iâm sorry, Miss Wilson. We canât release you without charges yet. You may have to stay here for the night.â
Getting detained at the police station for more than fortyâeight hours would result in a criminal record.
A holding cell wasnât a pleasant place to stay. Emma just won the championship. If news of this were to spread, it wouldnât look good in the media or to the public, especially with the Hall family having just finished a press conference.
Her expression was a little stern, but she still had that nonchalant appearance.
She stood up and followed the police officer inside in her high heels.

Chapter 200 âNow that Iâm certain that Lennon is involved, I have to think of way to save myself, she thought.
She secretly held her phone, trying to contact Jerome.
But just then, footsteps could be heard coming from the entrance of the police station.
The pace of the person who came was resolute and unrestrained.
It was Erza.
Dressed in a halfâopen black hoodie with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, the young man walked with arrogant and wide strides in a pair of black sneakers.
âHurry up and release her,â he said.
Erza often caused trouble, so his face appearing at the police station was familiar to everyone.
Of course, the police officers knew him. They were all a little stunned when they saw him.
They thought, Isnât Lennon the one who sent Emma in? Grandfather accuses her, yet grandson wants to bail her out. What kind of drama is this?â
âMr. Burnson, Emma is suspected of infringing on personal privacy, a police officer said. âShe canât leave so spon.â
Erza tossed away the cigarette and stubbed it out in the trash can A faint smile appeared in his sharp and handsome eyes. âI gave her my grandfatherâs phone number,â he said. âAny issues with that? Also, Mr. Baxter heard she had returned with the championship in Krot Competition and wanted to have a word with her to learn from her. Mr. Baxter is outside right now. You decide whether to let her go or not.â
