The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1049

Then, Isabelle sighed. “Now that the shadow bank’s operations are halted, those people probably won’t be able to

escape, so let’s just stop this, alright?”

John chuckled. However, he didn’t say anything since it was better to stay quiet.

After a moment of silence on Isabelle’s end as she waited for John’s reply, he heard a rustling sound from the other

end of the call. This time, John pretended as if he didn’t hear what she said, so she spoke up again a few moments

later. “John, I’m begging you. Can you do it for me?”

John sighed. “Isabelle, you should know that the reason why I wanted to investigate the shadow bank in the first

place was because they attacked me first.”

A few seconds later, Isabelle sighed and said with a helpless tone, “I understand. We can’t blame you for everything

and I’ll be sure to give you an explanation once everything is over, but for now, considering our relationship in the

past, can you stop pursuing it?”

John entered the hall and made his way toward the elevator. “Isabelle, if you’re free, we can find a place to meet

up and discuss this since it’s hard to explain through a call. Also, I’m kind of busy now. We’ll see.”

Then, John hung up directly and snorted with derision. That old man actually wanted Isabelle to utilize her past

relationship to negotiate with me? It seemed like he had really overestimated my relationship with Isabelle. There’s

no chance I’m going to drop it; not after they had tried to attack Sophia.

After John hung up, he went to his office and reviewed two documents along with a report before getting his

assistant into his office to arrange his upcoming schedule.

Then, his phone rang again.

This time, it was from his subordinate, informing him that they found out the identity of the person that the leg

bone belonged to.

Surprised, John immediately asked him to send him the details.

Soon, his man sent him a document right after he hung up. John transferred the document into his computer

before he briefly scanned through it to see a complete set of information about a missing person. This person

obviously wasn’t a good person as he was involved in drugs, alcohol and prostitution. Two years back, he loaned an

amount of money from the shadow bank and it was the highest limit of money available for loan at the shadow

bank. However, he never returned the money. Rather than the case of him being unable to pay the debt, it was

more like he didn’t plan to return the money at all right from the beginning. It seemed like he was sure that the

shadow bank wouldn’t be able to deal with him, so he continued acting without a care for his life. After reading

through this person’s information, John called his subordinate and asked if he could contact this person’s family. His

subordinate was highly efficient and told him that they had already contacted his family members, but they weren’t

concerned at all. They had long since gotten tired of his toxic behavior since all he did was stir up trouble and didn’t

help the family out at all. Although he had gotten a huge loan in the past, he didn’t use it to help his family at all.

Instead, he had wasted it all on himself, so none of them cared about his well-being even though he was never

heard of again as his life or death didn’t matter to them. In other words, it was better if he was dead since it would

be less troublesome for them. After contemplating things for a moment, John instructed his subordinate to bring

the missing person’s family members to lodge a police report at the police station so that they could check if the

leg bone belonged to this person. John also told his man to give the family members some benefits if they were

unwilling to lodge a report for fear of getting into trouble. Still, even though they really hated the missing person,

they would probably proceed to confirm things if they found out that something had happened to him. If they could

identify the man, it was also a good thing to the family members since they could request compensation as well.
