Chapter 172 Being Followed

Seeing the wrinkled brows of Jonas, William was even more nervous. Was his opponent so powerful
this time?

He didn't know that Jonas just wondered how Emily knew where he was, or were these all just
coincidences?

The person she was going to follow was actually Melinda!

Jonas broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of it.

"Boss, I'd better arrange someone to protect you in secret." Looking at the sweat falling on Jonas's
face, William thought the matter must be serious.

He was even more imaginative than Melinda.

Sitting in his seat, Jonas was thinking about it with his eyes closed. Finally, he thought of a possibility.
He turned around and asked, "Which suit did I wear when Emily came to the company?"

"Em... It's a tailored suit of the Y brand, and it is in light gray color." William was surprised, but he
recalled it quickly and gave the answer. The coat was hung on the resting room in the office at that
time. Jonas walked to the wardrobe and looked through it.

William felt the boss was acting very strange today, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with him. Now
that Jonas was looking for clothes, he thought he had lost something.

"Ouch, why is there something so hard here?" William walked over and happened to touch the position
of his pocket. He thought maybe the boss was not comfortable with this coat, but he didn't notice that
Jonas's face suddenly changed.



Not long after, a small black thing appeared in the palm of Jonas. William was shocked with his mouth
wide open. This thing was not strange at all.

"This is... A tracker?" A tracker was thrown in Jonas's coat, which made William dizzy.

"Emily, well, well," said Jonas, gritting his teeth. He didn't expect that it was all thanks to his
carelessness. If it wasn't for Melinda's reminder, he probably wouldn't know.

"Tell the receptionist, don't let Emily go upstairs again," Jonas said to William after he turned around.
William was not stupid, and he had guessed that it was Emily's masterpiece. He could only sigh that
how bold this woman was to try to frame his boss.

But what unsettled them most was that they hadn't found out for so long, how deep the mind of this
person was to deceive everyone.

William rushed to arrange the thing as soon as possible. He wished he could tell everyone in the
company about it, even including the security department.

Now in his eyes, Emily was a typical dangerous person.

Jonas threw the tracker to William. If Emily wanted to follow him, she could just follow William. As for
this, William was tearful and hung the tracker on the head of a stray dog.

For Emily, Jonas felt he had done enough.

Emily didn't know that all her efforts had been exposed. The tracker didn't work. After all, it was
impossible for Jonas to wear the suit every day.

But to her surprise, no matter she called Jonas or sent him a message through wechat, she didn't
receive any reply.



"Jonas, are you busy?" Emily was still texting him. Jonas's phone was thrown aside and he ignored all
her messages.

As Emily received no reply, she went straight to the Soaring Group, but was stopped by the
receptionist.

"Miss Bai, you can't go upstairs without an appointment." The receptionist gave Emily a polite smile.
Emily stopped at the same place and many people around looked at her curiously. Emily was
embarrassed and naturally looked bad.

"I don't need an appointment," Emily said, proud of herself to have such a treatment, but the
receptionist still smiled politely. "Sorry, we haven't received such a notice."

Emily finally felt something wrong. She called Jonas but there was no reply from the other end of the
line until the call was hung up automatically.

She was not blacklisted, and Jonas just ignored it.

She couldn't understand why things turned out like this overnight.

"I couldn't get through to Jonas. Please help me call the people in the CEO office," Emily said in a
commanding tone. She was dissatisfied with the receptionist's attitude because she thought that she
was Soaring Group's distinguished guest.

The two receptionists looked at each other and shook their heads with a smile, "We can't call the CEO
office if there is nothing important."

People at the front desk refused her request all the time. Emily had no choice but to wait in the resting
area with her face half covered.

She made up her mind to tell Jonas how the receptionists behaved.



Unfortunately, when it was at the off duty time in the company, she still didn't see Jonas at all.

In the past three days, Emily was treated the same way. This time, she was determined to see Jonas.
Regardless of the receptionist, she went straight to the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, William showed up in front of them, wearing a smile. The receptionists
at the front desk immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if they saw their savior.

"William, where is Jonas? I want to see him." Emily tidied up her messy clothes, as if she were the
hostess. William could not help but exclaim in his heart at her shamelessness.

"Miss Bai, Mr. Jonas asked me to tell you something." William looked gentle when he smiled, but
everyone in the company knew that he was a smiling tiger.

Sure enough, his next sentence was a violent attack to her. "According to the recent behaviors of Miss
Bai, you have caused an excessive harassment. If you continue to pester Mr. Jonas, he will sue you for
that."

Those who were watching the drama couldn't help but burst into laughter. Emily's face turned pale. She
didn't believe that Jonas would treat her like this, but William didn't seem to be joking.

At this point, no matter how thick her skin was, she could not stay here anymore.

William was relieved to see her leave.

"It must be Melinda, that bitch!" Emily said, gnashing her teeth. The hatred in her eyes was frightening.

She wouldn't let Melinda go so easily. She had to!

Yulia had always thought that Emily used her all IQ on hurting people. And she wasn't exaggerating at
all. Now, Emily hated Melinda and had already thought about how to revenge on her.



Poor Melinda, she didn't know she took the blame again, though she was the one who reminded Jonas
of what had happened to Emily.

When her car was limited, Melinda hated to work overtime. But today she worked overtime. When she
finished her task, it was almost nine o'clock.

"Alas, what's wrong with my boss? We are not allowed to go back to work. I feel scared when I go back
home at late night," Melinda's colleague said, stretching herself lazily while tidying up her belongings
swiftly.

"What are you afraid of? Are there sculptures at the door?" another colleague echoed. Several men
were standing at the door to pick up their girlfriends.

"Don't be afraid. After all, you are safe-looking. But Mel should be careful. Look at your pretty face and
hot body." The two girls packed their things and joked with each other again.

The girl's unintentional words caused Melinda to stop what she was doing, and her face turned a little
gloomy.

These days when she went back home, she always felt that someone was stalking her. Thinking that
she had to take the bus back today, she couldn't help clenching her fists.

"Mel, why do you look so bad? Are you uncomfortable?" The two girls finally stopped fighting, but they
saw Melinda's pale face. She frowned as if she was thinking about something.

"Nothing. I am just thinking is there anything wrong with today's article." Melinda made up an excuse.
She was a little distracted these days, causing the quality of the articles to decrease greatly and she
was criticized in public at today's meeting.

"Don't take it to heart. Everyone has a bad mood sometimes."



The comforting words of her colleague make Melinda leave all the other things behind. There was a
bus station not far from the company. The trouble was that she had to pass by an alley before she got
home.

Melinda clenched her bag, which was a little heavier than before. She had hidden a bar and pepper
spray in it.

As soon as she left the company, she felt that she was stared at in the dark. With scalp tingling,
Melinda walked faster. There were not many people at the bus station. She occasionally turned around,
but she still didn't see anyone.

The person was like a shadow, always following her without being seen.

As soon as Melinda got off the bus, she stared at the people who got off along with her and found that
they all went in different directions. She grabbed her bag again and quickly walked to the entrance of
the alley.

The alley was dark with only vague light coming in. Melinda covered her chest to feel her heart beating
which was abnormal fast.

She walked lightly, but the thumping sound of her high heels could not be avoided. Her heartbeat
quickened.

The alley was more than one hundred steps long, but Melinda was frightened into a cold sweat. She
wanted to turn around very much, but she was afraid of alerting the enemy, so she almost walked while
counting her steps.

Five.

Four.



Three.

There were another two steps. Melinda swallowed and suddenly sped up. At the same time, she heard
that the unhurried pace of the person behind her also sped up.

Melinda was so nervous that her legs were trembling. After she passed the corner, she leaned against
the wall, holding the iron bar tightly in her hand. She was short of breath and her eyes were closed.

In addition to her heartbeat, she heard the footsteps. As the person was close, her fingers holding the
iron bar trembled more violently.

A shadow passed Melinda. She closed her eyes and waved the stick with all her strength. The man fell
on the ground. Melinda leaned against the wall and gasped for air.

There happened to be a cudgel next to her. She gave up the iron bar in her hand and waved the cudgel
towards that person like a female soldier. The man did not react from the pain just now. He cuddled up
and groaned on the ground.
