My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Mad Dog! We Finally Found You
Tristan couldn’t continue speaking as he saw Reid’s incoming call. He walked over to Bella, who looked at him with a slight frown.

“What is it, Tristan? Who’s calling?” Bella asked anxiously.

“Dear, something happened at the office. I’m so sorry I can’t accompany you on the room tour,” he said with a sorry smile. “I need to take this call from Reid. If you don’t mind?”

Bella smiled and nodded, “Of course not. Please go ahead. I won’t bother you; I’ll look for Dax…” She said as she tiptoed and kissed his cheek.

“I’ll look for you after I finish this call.”

“Hmm, no worries… take your time, hubby,” she said, closing the door.

After Tristan saw Bella leave the room, he called Reid back as he stood by the glass window. His calm, loving expression was no longer there as he heard Reid’s voice from the other end.

“Boss, we found their base camp. But we are not yet making a move. We wait for your instruction.”

Tristan couldn’t hide his excitement hearing Reid’s words. A relieved smile finally appeared on his lips. ‘Mad Dog! We finally found you!’

After many years, they will finally settle this matter and capture those Dark Skull gang leaders, especially Mad Dog!

“You can make a move tonight, Reid. The faster we capture them, the better,” he instructed. “But you have to make sure there is no failure! Capture them tonight and report to me anything—”

“Yes, sir! I’ll try my best,” Reid said. He was experiencing the same tension as Tristan. Today, all of this will come to an end.

Reid continued, “Oh, right, sir. Mr. Murphy has already called me; he said he would assist us in an ambush if we find the Dark Skull’s base. So I will contact him and report about it to make a sudden plan.”

“Good! I’ll also call him.”

Tristan smiled as he thought about his best friend, Owen Murphy, the Black Eagle special force leader and Sam’s former boss. Owen had helped him wipe out the Dark Skull’s businesses in the country years ago.

This time, he will ensure they don’t fail again to capture all of them and won’t give them time to revive and cause a threat to society.

“Anything else to report?” Tristan asked as he heard nothing from Reid. But he also did not end the phone call.

“No, sir, but—” A hesitation could be heard from the other end, causing Tristan to worry that something was still troubling Reid.

“What is it, Reid?” Tristan asked.

“Sir, I just want to ask you: Do you want to join us tonight? I know we could handle the entire ambush without you. But with your presence, I can guarantee we won’t fail this time,” Reid voiced his thoughts.

He knew for sure how talented Tristan was in fighting, shooting, and making tactical plans for them to ambush; he was more capable of being a military leader than the president of a large corporation.

And Tristan being with them tonight would lift the team’s mood. Besides, Reid looked forward to seeing him in action after many years of working behind his office desk.

Tristan didn’t answer Reid immediately, but he didn’t reject him either.

Deep down in his heart, Tristan wanted to join them, but the risk was that getting injured would cause massive damage to the company. He also had a woman he loved and a family to protect. He must be careful in his actions.

After thinking for a while, Tristan took a deep breath before responding to Reid. “I’ll let you know later if I join. Just let me know when you guys move and send the coordinates to Geoffrey. I might come with him if I decide.”

“Yes, sir! I will—” Reid’s excited answer caused Tristan to smile faintly.

After the conversation with Reid ended, Tristan still stood by the window. His anxiety slowly disappeared when he saw Dax walking in the backyard with Bella.

They walked toward the path to the private mountain his family had owned for nearly a hundred years.

It was a safe place to hike to the peak without worrying about meeting other people or wild animals. It was the only safe place Tristan could think of for his wife and children to walk without a guard following them.

Tristan put his phone in his pocket before rushing to join them. He needed to clear his mind before deciding what to do that night.

“Yeay! Dad’s here! You finally joined us,” Dax shouted excitedly as he saw his father walking toward them.

Bella also looked back to see Tristan. She smiled at him and reached out her hand to him.

“Are you done with work?” she asked.

Tristan held Bella’s hand and leaned closer to kiss her cheek before walking, following Dax.

“Yes, dear,” Tristan answered before looking at his son. “Buddy, let’s go to the peak.”

“Dad, you promised me you wouldn’t work today…” Dax stopped his step and turned to face his parents.

Tristan felt Dax’s words hit his heart like a sharp blow.

“I’m sorry, buddy. Uncle Reid had trouble at the office, so he asked Daddy a few questions. Don’t worry, I won’t go anywhere now. We’ll play until you’re tired, buddy,” he said with a smile.

“Thank you, Daddy,” Dax said and continued walking. He was so excited to explore a new place. He could imagine this place would be where he would train with his teacher, Geoffrey, in the future.

Bella laughed when she heard them. She looked at Dax.

“Baby, don’t be mad at your daddy. He already took his day off today.”

“I’m not mad, Mommy,” Dax said, running to the peak, following the stone path.

“Hubby, don’t worry about him. He’s afraid you’ll leave us again and head to your office,” Bella tried to lift Tristan’s mood. She could see his gloominess through his eyes.

“I know. That’s why I feel guilty. I spend so much time outside. I wish I could just pay people to run the company and stay home with you and our child,” Tristan said, returning her smile with a faint smile.

Bella didn’t know how to comfort him about his company.

“Alright, go talk to him. I’ll stroll to follow you guys. I want to enjoy the scenery,” she changed the subject.

Tristan leaned closer to her and kissed her lips. After his quick kiss, he looked into her eyes and said, “Don’t tire yourself. Go back to the house if you feel tired, alright?”

“I’m not that weak, hubby,” Bella rolled her eyes and pushed him to follow Dax.
