Chapter 28 Finding a girl

John was seen with disdainful eyes; his heart is even more impatient.

"I couldn't contact her, so I came here. I hope that Mr. Alex didn't lie."

Alex frowned, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction, his voice turned harsh and arrogant.

"Mr. John asked a stranger about your wife, it sounded like a joke. This company is the workplace, not a place for couples to date."

Facing the bossy attitude of Alex, John was furious. But he worries about Elly's safety more, he tried to suppress his temper, and politely spoke,

"Sorry for this disturbance. If Elly comes to the company, would you mind texting her to contact me soon?"

Alex's watched John hurriedly left, he's patience was exhausted. He coldly looked at the security and ordered, "I don't want to see him in Hargreaves Company anymore. If you commit it again, you will be fired."

"Yes, sir." Security wiped his cold sweat and rushed away.

Alex recalled John's very worried expression, his eyes lowered, and ordered his secretary Leon

"Check Elly's accommodation, find her in the shortest time."

The secretary said cautiously. "Miss. Elly doesn't work, we just need to deduct her salary. Reaching for the staff's home, it seems..."

"She was absent for the morning meeting; I suspect she was running away with client information. We cannot let an employee who holds important documents disappear without handing them over to the company." Alex threw the folder in his hand on the table and looked at his talkative secretary.

The secretary bowed his head, then left the office. In his heart, he was screaming contemptuously. "If I let go of those worried eyes filled with concern, then luckily I even believe this stupid reason."

Meanwhile, Elly relentlessly tried to untie the straps on his arms and legs.

She didn't know when the kidnapper was coming back, nor did she know who is the instigator, but at least she wanted herself ready to run away if given the chance.

The kidnapper's words just now made her terrified. They kidnapped her for money and didn't want to release the hostages, because she saw their faces.

In the dim darkness, Elly widened her eyes and looked around, as she gradually got used to the darkness, she lay down and rolled into the corner, sitting up and turning her back. The rope fastening her hands matched the chipped corner, she thought she could use it to cut the rope.

"Would it be better if I had a knife with me?" Elly sighed, persistently sharpened the rope. She slipped several times and scratched her skin.

The door was opened again, Elly could not return in time. The man is suspicious.

"Kid, what are you hiding?"

"Nothing." She tried to calm down, revealing an innocent face.

The man rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then laughed outrageously, squatted down, and pulled her off the corner of the wall. Looking at her scratched hand and the rope about breaking, his ruthless breath-hold her.

She pulled herself in fear, wanted to move away, but her limbs were tied making her action inconvenient.

The man slapped her face, his powerful big hand made her lips tear and bleed.

"If a woman didn't spend money generously, I would have misuse you more."

Falling to the floor, her head was in pain but her mouth didn't forget to ask. "Woman? The one who hired you to kidnap me is a woman?"

The man knew that he missed his mouth, immediately stood up, angrily kicked her stomach hard.

"You will die anyway after I receive enough money. You know whoever wants you to die doesn't change the outcome."

Elly coughed after the kick, she curled up and watched the man leave.

A woman who wants to kidnap and kill her? Among the people she knew, who hated her so much that she wanted to push her to death?

While Elly relentlessly speculated about the hidden person, John began to use all his relations and forces to find her.

John was not only a talented doctor like Elly thinks, he was a young master of the most famous family in the city. In terms of family background, power, as well as finance, John's family, was more than Alex's one.

That the young master searched for a girl everywhere made his mother angry.

"Ridiculous! Your behavior makes our family a joke for the upper class." The lady slammed her hand on the table.

Being called back without reason while Elly was not be found, John was impatient to hear his mother's anger.

"If you call me home just because of this bullshit, then I'll be going. I have an important job, I will return later to accuse."

"The important thing is tracing a girl who was divorced from Hargreaves? Our family never felt to pick up the old shoe from Hargreaves's family? You should remember, finding her back, we never accept a divorced woman entering this house."

John's mother said arrogantly, extremely proud of her Elliott's family. "A woman who has been divorced has no chance of being recognized by Elliott. Please forget her. She is too low, beneath our house."

Seeing his mother underestimate Elly, John was very dissatisfied. He did not allow others to offend her, even his family.

"Mom, I won't leave her. My own story does not need for Elliott to admit or allow." Then, he got up and went to the door, ignored his mother with a pale face.

A person from outside ran into the room, bumping into him.

"Young master, the report ..." The man bowed his head to say something, but was caught by the Lady's signaling eyes, he shut his mouth.

John was worried about Elly's safety, so he did not pay attention to. Waiting for him to leave, the man went to the Lady.

"You are very intelligent." The lady was pleased with the cleverness him.

"In Elliott, I know who is the real authority." The man gasped, "This is the most recent result about Miss Elly, the woman the young master wanted to find."

"Where is she?"

"She was kidnapped, locked in an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of the city."

Her aristocratic beautiful face gleamed with determination, her sharp eyes gazed at the door where John had just left, she calmly ordered. "All this information is must not get to John. Quickly withdrew all the agents who were searching for her. If John rebukes, just say I gave the order. "

The young master John mobilizes his entire family force to find the identity of a girl not only disturbed his mother but also Alex.

Alex stared at secretary Leon bowing in front of him.

"You came to her house and did not find her, why, don't you think it's about to consider the possibility that she was missing? It was only when Elliott got upset that I got the news."

Leon trembled, not daring to answer, and the eyes of Mr. Alex were too frightening.

Banging his hand on the table in frustration, Alex shouted loudly.

"Are you still standing there waiting for me to teach you what to do? Immediately, you tracked down Elly for me. Elliott's investigation can be relied on for a faster search."

"Yes sir." Leon hurriedly ran out of the room, leaving Alex with her face no longer calm.

Thinking about her eyes, Alex felt that his spirit couldn't be at ease. In the past three years, he never worried about such a person, the appearance of Elly made him no longer himself.

After an hour of waiting, secretary Leon finally found Elly's position.

"The kidnappers locked Ms. Elly in an abandoned mansion on the west of the city.

"Ok. We go!"

They arrived at the outskirts of the city, they observed the movement around the house for 10 minutes, they waited for the man to leave the locked room, then Alex gave orders to his subordinates.

"Everyone spread around and surround the house, send the two best to follow me, divided into three directions to penetrate in. Anyone who could reach Elly must quickly signal outside for help."

"No, boss. You should not take action yourself."

"Right. We will definitely save the hostages. You stay outside."

"I don't need others to teach me what to do." Alex rolled his eyes and looked at a series, his fierce eyes made the well-trained bodyguards tremble inadvertently. "The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Elly, Clear?"

"Yes, sir." His subordinates chanted in unison and scattered around.

Alex ran along the wall of weeds that grew up to his stomach. With no security around the house, it seems this group of kidnappers are amateurs but too self-centered.

Alex silently listened inside the room and observed the room where the kidnapper had just carried the tray of food,

Across the door, Elly was in the dark and heard a rustle and the sound of footsteps stomping on gravel and stopped in front of the door.

"Was it possible that I snuck out a fork while they were eating was discovered by them?" She curled up against the corner of the wall, constantly trying to cut the rope with her fork.

"Elly?"

The voice was very familiar, she thought she heard wrong, so she pursed her lips quietly.

In the next second, the door opened, there is a face that carried a street light, no longer cold and ferocious, the only color of the worried sighing of relief.

"Alex?"
