Chapter 701 Ethan Will Face It Together with Jasmine
Everyone at home was stunned. Even Arnold was shocked. How did Justin come back on his own?
He mobilized all his forces: Nolan, Edward, Edgar, plus Avery, Betty, Raymond, and Brandon.
Almost everyone was looking for Justin.
Justin came back on his own?
Neil felt a bit guilty and lowered his head without speaking.
"He's Sophia's people." Richard frowned and stepped forward, ready to act.
Justin quickly spoke up, "Uncle, he brought me back. He's a good person. His son is sick with a rare disease, and he needed money, so he worked for the bad guys. But he's changed now."
Neil scratched his head awkwardly. "Sorry, I was forced by life. If you want to send me to the police, I'll go. But the child promised to help my son get treatment. Please, I'm begging you."
Neil knelt down in front of Jasmine and the others.
Jasmine quickly stood up, and Richard helped him up.
"No matter the reason for bringing back a child of the Cunningham family, you are a benefactor for us," Cordelia said solemnly. "We will not ignore you. Your son will receive the best treatment."
Neil, excited, knelt down again.
Richard quickly helped him up again.
"Thank you," Neil said repeatedly, his eyes red with emotion.
This was his last hope.
"You deserve it because you are kind enough." Justin softly comforted him.
Neil, excitedly wiping his tears, practically saw Justin as a god. From then on, his life belonged to Justin.
"Yes, the child said to give me this, but it's too valuable." Neil quickly took out Justin's pendant and put it back on him. "As long as my child can get treatment, I'm satisfied."
Cordelia nodded. "Richard, make some arrangements. Since he brought Justin back, the people on Sophia's and Messiah's sides won't let him go. Ensure his and his family's safety."
Richard nodded. "Okay."
Everyone was amazed that Justin could escape from the kidnappers and come back on his own. A five or six-year-old child showed no signs of stress or fear.
Arnold held Justin and looked at him for a long time. "These two kids have a bright future."
Over there, Joe was still with Raymond, helping him calculate Justin's path.
With precise judgment, he also pointed to the old building in the demolition area as the destination.
Both kids would be very impressive in the future.
It seemed only Casey had been crying ever since he found out Justin was kidnapped.
He would only go on a hunger strike, begging Lisa to find Justin.
Lisa was also helpless.
In the ward, after Justin's incident, Connor had been hiding it from Ethan, fearing it would cause him worry and hinder his recovery.
It had only been a little over ten days, and he was far from meeting the discharge criteria. If he left now, it would be troublesome later.
"Can't I recuperate at home in my current condition?" Ethan asked.
"No." Connor directly refused. "Your home doesn't meet the sterile conditions."
"You're acting very strange today. Is there something you're hiding from me?" Ethan asked.
Connor looked away, not speaking.
They were very familiar with each other, so Ethan knew Connor must be hiding something.
"Tell me," Ethan frowned. "If you don't tell me, I'll go back and see for myself."
"Justin was kidnapped. The kidnappers used him to threaten Henry to transfer shares to Ian." Connor rubbed his temples.
Ethan suddenly sat up, his face turning pale from the pain of his wound. "Justin?"
"Yes." Connor nodded.
Ethan hurriedly got out of bed. "I need to go back."
At this time, Jasmine must be terrified. He needed to go back and help her find Justin.
"Why are you in such a rush?" Connor pressed Ethan down. "Your sons are quite something. Joe has already accurately calculated the kidnappers' escape route, identified the disguised car from the fake license plate, and found the suspicious vehicle in the surveillance. The police have already gone to look for it."
"And Justin?" Ethan frowned.
"Justin is even more impressive. Neither the police nor Raymond could catch up with him. He convinced one of the kidnappers to safely bring him back and made the kidnapper grateful to him. Justin has a talent for psychology. Let him follow me," Connor said, full of envy and jealousy, wanting to take the child.
Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his temples. "Are you out of your mind?"
"Can you finish your sentences in one go?" Ethan was a bit angry. After feeling relieved, he lay back on the bed, clutching his painful shoulder.
It pulled at his wound.
"Cuz you were not to let me finish." Connor's lips curled up.
Obviously, he did it on purpose.
He took pleasure in teasing Ethan.
Who told Ethan to always bully him before?
"No wonder he's my son," Ethan said softly, full of pride. But then he thought. "Wait, the kidnappers used my son to threaten Henry? He deserves it?"
Connor was helpless.
"Haven't you found anything valuable these days?" Ethan looked at Connor, feeling he was useless!
He would have to go out and investigate himself.
"Justin's kidnapping implicated many. Owen is in custody, and his phone records reveal someone called Messiah is behind it. No one knows who he is, but he has used illegitimate heirs to disrupt the business world for years," Connor said calmly.
So far, there was no information about Messiah.
He was really well-disguised.
"Deborah has also cooperated with Ian. Not only Ian, but she has also united people in the business circle to boycott the Douglas Group, spreading rumors that Jasmine is an incompetent woman who has been to prison and that the Douglas Group is vulnerable without you," Connor spoke slowly.
Ethan was anxious. "Can you speak faster?"
"Deborah's spreading rumors that you're dead. Many partners have canceled, and investors are pulling out. The Douglas Group has at most two weeks. If you don't recover and return before Jasmine's press conference, the company'll go bankrupt."
It wasn't just internal collapse.
Deborah and her people were attacking the Douglas family from inside and out.
First, they incited the core employees of the Douglas Group to resign.
Then, they encouraged people in the business circle to terminate their cooperation with the Douglas family.
They made the board members sell their shares at low prices.
"You guessed right. The board members are panicking and selling their shares. Someone is secretly buying them up." This move was very clever.
"Buy them up before those people do." Ethan sneered.
He would make it back in time and would never let Deborah succeed.
He would return to Jasmine's side and face everything with her.
