Wooing My Ex-Wife by Mr. Adeel

Chapter 807 Important

“Nico, immediately send a team to the lab to protect Benny and Zendy. I want to go with you to find him.”

Not daring to go against Gwendolyn’s order, Nico could only agree to her request.

Apart from the soldiers from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Nico had no choice but to send a message to

Charles, asking him to come over and keep the kids company to prevent them from waking up and looking for

Gwendolyn everywhere.

Nico texted: Charles, we have a mission tonight. If you’re not asleep, please come to the lab as soon as possible to

look after Benny and Zendy. Thank you.

At that moment, Charles had just finished bathing and stepped out from the steam-filled bathroom to dry

his wet hair.

He hadn’t rested yet. The annihilation of the Cloud family had a significant impact on him after he returned to his

regular work and life. He was still investigating the suspicious aspects of that incident.

Upon receiving Nico’s message, he immediately grabbed his coat and was ready to head out.

Upon hearing the noise, Whitney sat up in bed, asking in a daze, “Mr. Newton, are you going out?

Charles responded indifferently. “You should rest early. No need to wait up for me.”

He then strode out the door and drove away.

Whitney stood by the window and watched him leave, feeling a bit puzzled in her heart. The rain is pouring so

heavily outside, yet he’s leaving in such a hurry. Whose matter could it be? It can’t possibly be about the company.

Perhaps the news about the extermination of the Cloud family started to spread online again? Or, has he gone to

deal with matters concerning his childhood sweetheart again?

Even though doubts filled her heart, Whitney didn’t dare to contact Charles, let alone ask him anything. She was

afraid of upsetting him again.

Now that he was gone, Whitney found herself unable to sleep. All she could do was browse the internet for news,

hoping to find some way to help.

Meanwhile, outside the laboratory, Gwendolyn stood at the door, pacing back and forth with an anxious expression.

Nico quickly arrived at the laboratory to pick up Gwendolyn and leave.

After getting in the car, Nico said, “Gwendolyn, you don’t need to worry. Besides a team from the Federal Bureau of

Investigation, I’ve already asked Charles to come and protect the two kids. The laboratory is the safest place. With

him there, Benny and Zendy will be fine.”

“Okay.” Gwendolyn responded softly, “Do you know their location? Do you have enough people with you?”

Seeing the anxious expression on Gwendolyn’s face, Nico handed her the tablet he was holding.

A red light was flashing in the center of the tablet, surrounded by a detailed grid map. Nico said, “This red dot is

Cedrick’s current location. He’s at the cemetery.”

Looking at the blinking red dot in the center of the screen, Gwendolyn finally felt a bit more at ease.

The rain-slicked road was treacherous, and several armored vehicles sped through the darkness. For Gwendolyn,

the journey of over an hour was nothing short of torture.

By the time they all arrived at the cemetery, Swain, who was worried about his boss, had already apprehended

Joe’s undercover men in advance.

Swoosh!

Swain tossed all of Joe’s men, who were bound tightly, in front of Joe and uttered sternly, “Joe, we’ve seized. all

your men. Surrender!”

Upon seeing the people lying on the ground, Gedrick slightly furrowed his brows.

With regret in his eyes, Swain said, “I’m sorry, Boss. I can’t just stand by and watch you fall into danger. Even if you

decide to punish me afterward, I’ll accept it

Cedrick wore a cold and stern expression, remaining silent.

Joe laughed, abruptly pulling Cedrick up. He pressed a gun against the latter’s temple and smiled wickedly, saying,

“Fantastic, Cedrick. I didn’t expect your subordinates to be so disobedient after all these years of raising them.

They’ve come knocking so quickly. If I were to shoot you dead with one bullet, at least we’d have each other’s

company on the road to the underworld, don’t you agree?”

Hearing that, Swain quickly persuaded, “Joe, surrender now and you’ll have a chance to live. If you continue to

struggle, you’ll surely die! Don’t harm Boss!”

Joe threw his head back and laughed heartily, brandishing his gun menacingly at Cedrick. “Tell your men to back off

and drop their weapons. If they dare to make a move, we shall see who’s faster?”

Swain didn’t dare let his subordinates act recklessly and could only command them to retreat according to Joe’s

requirements.

Joe still held the gun to Cedrick’s head, sneering. “I didn’t expect your subordinate to care so much about your life.

Mr. Jenson, aren’t you supposed to be incredibly powerful? Why aren’t you retaliating?”

Cedrick remained silent, his deep eyes narrowing slightly as he allowed himself to be taken hostage.

Just then, Nico and Gwendolyn arrived in a hurry.

Gwendolyn hurriedly got out of the car, and from a distance, she saw Cedrick being held at gunpoint by Joe.

“Cedrick!” she shouted.

Cedrick, who had been unresponsive all that time, suddenly lifted his head, only to see Gwendolyn. standing

unharmed not far away.

Joe didn’t capture Gwendolyn and the two children. The poor signal was due to Joe’s use of a signal jammer.

Cedrick’s expression was icy. “You tricked me.”

Joe chuckled, his features twisted in wild amusement. “Indeed. Look at you, so concerned about her. Just a missed

call, and you’re losing your composure.”

Cedrick fell silent once again.

The wound on Joe’s leg had only been treated superficially. The pain from the gunshot was intense. Cedrick knew

he wouldn’t be able to endure much longer. For now, he was just barely hanging on.

“Mrs. Jenson, it’s been a while.”

Gwendolyn took two steps forward. “Joe, you can tell me what you want. As long as I can fulfill it, I will definitely

agree.”

Joe laughed scornfully. “I want to drink his blood and peel off his skin. All because of him. I lost the love of my life!“

His eyes were filled with madness, and he casually shifted the gun barrel two inches.

In that split second. Cedrick swiftly counterattacked, landing a kick on Joe’s leg that had been shot.

Joe winced in pain, stumbling back two steps. His hands involuntarily loosened their grip, and Cedrick, with a swift

and clean spin kick, knocked the gun out of Joe’s hand.

Seeing this. Swain immediately took action and had Joe restrained.

The tables turned in an instant.

The agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation stepped forward to handcuff Joe.

Joe burst into laughter. His face, marked by a ferocious scar, was truly terrifying. He behaved no different from a

complete madman.

Before being taken away by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he arrogantly threatened, “Cedrick, you’d better

ask for my execution. You know, prison can’t hold me. Sooner or later, I’ll come looking for you.”

Cedrick paid him no mind. After easily untying the ropes on his body, he rushed to Gwendolyn’s side to check on his

wife’s condition. “Gavenny, I’m so glad that you’re safe and sound.”

Heaven knew how worried he was when he couldn’t reach her.

Having lost her too many times, Cedrick dared not make any more mistakes.

Heart aching. Gwendolyn gently touched his face. “What could possibly happen to me? You’ve already arranged for

people at the lab. But what about you? Why didn’t you fight back when you were held at gunpoint? Are you looking

to be punished again? You promised me that you would take good care of yourself. Why would you take such a

risk?”

The more she spoke, the less Gwendolyn could control herself, and she suddenly embraced the man in front of her.

Just now, when she saw Joe’s gun pointed at his head, she even missed a few breaths, fearing that the lunatic, Joe,

might tremble and really pull the trigger. Thank goodness. Thank goodness…
