The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 498

"Where?"

Mango regained her hopes once again.

Nathaniel didn't say anything and he brought Mango directly to the playground. The couple arrived at the shooting area and they met the owner of the shooting club.

"Boss, do you still remember me?"

Mango hurriedly asked.

She obviously left an impression on the boss for winning several rounds of his games within a day.

"Oh, Miss! I remember you, what's up? Are you bringing your son over to play today? Anyway, I'm not letting you guys play again."

The boss thought that they were there to ruin his business, therefore he seemed particularly nervous.

However, Mango shook her head before saying, "No, it's not like that. In fact, I came here today to ask for advice."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

The boss was a little confused.

Judging by the appearances of the two people in front of him, they were definitely not some ordinary people. But what did these high-class visitors want from him?

Nathaniel saw that Mango was a little anxious and he immediately chimed in, "Boss, our son was playing shooting here yesterday and he performed quite well. At that time, a coach from the

shooting club stopped by to give us his business card, but my wife accidentally lost that card. So, we wanted to know if you recognize that coach? Can you perhaps show us the way? My son is indeed very interested in gun shootings. After discussion, we're planning to have a look at the place."

The boss breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Nathaniel was talking about this matter.

"Great. As long as you go there, you won't come to destroy my business, right?"

"No, we won't! Also, my son came here yesterday just to have fun. Please do me a favor, boss."

Nathaniel took out his wallet to give him five hundred dollars.

This money was much more valuable than the stuffed animals that Zion won away yesterday.

The owner quickly plastered a smiled as he put away the money, "You're talking about Coach Maxwell Barnes, aren't you?"

"Yes, that's right! It's him!"

Mango knew that person, but what was his name?

Hearing that he had guessed it correctly, the boss said in a low voice, "Maxwell is a very famous coach here! The students that he trained turned out to be outstanding. Also, they have participated in several games with flying colors. He often comes to me to find some good talents. If you want to reach him, then you can follow along this road. There is a subway station about 500 meters away. Get off after two stations, and the shooting club should be opposite of the subway station."

Mango and Nathaniel were immediately uplifted.

"Thank you, boss."

After that, they went to the place according to the boss's instructions.

Mango was very excited.

"Do you think that Zion and Wisdom will be there?"

Nathaniel shook his head slightly, "I don't know, but even so, we have to go over and have a look. What if he really is there? I can't think of anywhere else that brat can go."

"You're right. I hope they're doing fine."

When they arrived at the shooting club, there were not many people there. On the contrary, the surrounding appeared to be desolated.

"What's going on?"

"I'm not too sure."

Nathaniel shielded Mango behind him and they walked in.

"Hello, we are here to visit the club. We want to meet Coach Barnes if that's possible."

Nathaniel walked to the front desk and he explained his intentions.

When the receptionist heard that they were here to find Maxwell, she glanced at them before saying in a low voice, "Coach Barnes is not here. You guys can come back tomorrow. Our club has some activities today and everyone has gone out for field training, so there is no one in the club. I'm really sorry."

Nathan and Mango frowned upon hearing her words.

If there was no one in the club, then where were Zion and Wisdom?

"Excuse me, do you see two children here this morning?"

"Children? There are children here every day. Which one are you referring to?"

Mango was just about to take out her phone to show Zion's photo to the receptionist, but Nathaniel stopped her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. We're just here to have a look around first. If it's good then we plan to send our child here. Since there is an event in the club today, then well come here another day."

"Alright!"

The receptionist was very polite.

Nathaniel walked out of the club with Mango.

After they came out, she was distressed, "Why didn't you let me ask if Zion and Wisdom have been here before?"

"Something is quite wrong here."

Mango was slightly taken aback by his words.

"What's wrong with it?"

"Even if it's an outdoor activity, it can't be so quiet and empty. Do you remember what the boss told us? He said that the education here is good, and many children have won prizes. With such achievements, most of the parents would have sent their children here."

Upon hearing his words, Mango said, "Didn't they say that there's an activity today? Maybe the parents all know about it."

"Of course the members of this club know, but what about the other parents? I don't think those outsiders know about it if they're here for a visit, right?"

As Nathaniel finished his words, he went straight to the supermarket opposite the road.

"Miss, one box of cigarettes please."

Nathaniel said blandly.

The cashier was instantly blown away by his attractive features.

"Sir, what brand do you need?"

"Winston."

The cashier took a glance at him again.

Then, she quickly handed over a pack of cigarettes to him.

Nathaniel couldn't help but ask when he was paying, "Why is there no one in the shooting club across the road today? I'm thinking of visiting and signing up for a class though."

Seizing the opportunity to talk to a handsome guy like him, the lady quickly replied, "Handsome bro, don't you know? The club is very lively at ordinary times. We also gained lots of customers here thanks to them. There were a lot of people coming by this morning, but for some unknown reason, a high-status person came. And after a while, the manager and the coach of the club went out with the students, saying that they were going out for outdoor training. They sent the visiting parents away too, asking them to come back tomorrow. I don't know what's up with them, but it's my first time seeing them rejecting guests since I started working here half a year ago."

Upon hearing her words, Nathaniel frowned slightly. Mango, who was waiting outside, heard it as well.

In other words, it was only after someone came here that it became so desolated and quiet?

Nathaniel got the information that he wanted and he smiled politely at the cashier. Then, he turned to leave the supermarket.

"Handsome dude, why are you leaving so soon? Why don't we exchange our number?"

The lady might have taken a fancy to Nathaniel, so she chased up to him immediately. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Nathaniel pointed at Mango beside him before saying, "I'm sorry, I already have a wife. She doesn't allow me to contact other women."

The cashier was embarrassed.

Oh gosh!

Why were all the handsome guys taken and even married?

She plastered an awkward smiled before leaving quickly.

Seeing Nathaniel's proud expression, Mango whispered, "Are you that happy from gaining the information with your handsome face?"

"What are you talking about? I'm just buying a pack of cigarettes."

Nathaniel felt that Mango looked quite cute when she was jealous. If it weren't for the sake of Zion and Wisdom, they would have been enjoying some private time together.

However, Mango wasn't in the mood to bicker with him.

She looked at the club ahead of her before saying, "Do you think the children are actually here?"

"I don't know. We can go in and have a look."

"How can I get in? You heard it too, the receptionist didn't allow us in just now."

Mango was eager to enter for a look. After all, this was the only place where Zion would possibly be at.

Nathaniel pointed to the cafe opposite the shooting club while saying, "Wait for me over there. I'll go in and find them."

"I want to go too."

"No way!"

Nathaniel immediately rejected her request.

He looked at Mango's unconvinced expression, and he said in a soft voice, "I'm not worried that you'll drag me down, but we don't know what's going on in this club. Besides, I need someone outside as a lookout for me. Who knows, maybe those people will come back once I enter the place? That's why I need you to stay outside and cooperate with me. If anything happens, you'd be able to help me, right?"

Although he said that, Mango knew that he was actually worried about her condition.

Thinking of her current physical state, she sighed softly before saying, "Alright, I won't go in. I'll wait for you over there. But you have to let me know if anything happens."

"Alright!"

After the discussion, they went in separate ways.

Mango entered the cafe and she chose a seat by the window. Meanwhile, Nathaniel climbed up the water pipe connecting to the back alley of the club and he entered the place directly from the backside.

Fortunately, there was no one in the back alley. Otherwise, Nathaniel would be in trouble if he was caught by others.

After Zion and Wisdom fell asleep in a daze, they were suddenly awakened by the cold breeze wafted out from the air vent.

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh at the drooling from their mouth.

They couldn't believe that they actually fell asleep in such a situation.

After that, Zion quickly wiped the corners of his mouth before saying, "They should have left, right? Let's go down and have a look."

"That’s a good idea!"

The two brats climbed out of the window.

Zion scanned the surroundings and he noticed the surveillance room. He immediately entered to remove the video of them entering the place.

Then, he said to Wisdom, "Call Mommy and tell her our location."

"Didn't you say that we are going to get some evidence first?"

Wisdom still remembered what Zion had said earlier.

After a good nap, Zion's mind was instantly crystal clear.

He whispered, "Let's go back first and discuss with Mr. Ye. We'll talk about the rest later. But you'd better hide because I am afraid that your father will beat you up."

At the thought of Nick, Zion's brows furrowed slightly.

However, Wisdom shook his head and he said, "I am not afraid. Plus, I'm the one who got you into trouble."

"Stop saying silly things. Call Mommy quickly."

Zion quickly ran to the door and he observed the surrounding from the crack.

Meanwhile, Wisdom didn't waste any more time. He quickly picked up the phone to call Mango.

Mango was still drinking coffee while waiting for Nathaniel's news when the phone suddenly rang.

She looked down and Mango was taken aback by the unfamiliar number on her phone.

Just then, a car suddenly stopped in front of the club. Several people got off the car and they walked straight into the club.
