The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 499

Mango quickly answered the phone.

She thought that it was a call from Nathaniel.

"Nathan, get out of here! Someone is back and they have entered the club!"

Mango immediately said it after picking up the phone.

Meanwhile, Wisdom, who was at the other side of the line was stunned upon hearing her words. Then, he asked subconsciously, "Mommy, Daddy has come in?"

"Wisdom? You're inside?"

Mango almost jumped out of her wits.

"Yes, both I and Zion are here. It looks like we are trapped, so we are trying to ask for help from you and Uncle."

Wisdom told Mango about their current situation immediately.

"Where are you now? I'll tell Nathan to go there and pick you guys up."

Mango didn't have the time to berate them for everything. Her main priority was to ensure the safety of the two kids.

Wisdom quickly told Mango the address.

After hanging up the phone, Zion asked in a low voice, "What did Mommy say?"

"She said Daddy has entered here, but she also said that the people of the club had arrived as well. What should we do? Should we stay here and wait for Uncle, or go out by ourselves?"

Wisdom was a little uncertain.

Suddenly, Zion heard the sound of footsteps resounding from outside. He quickly pulled Wisdom and they hid under the table.

Now, it was absolutely impossible for them to climb up to the air vent.

Wisdom's heart was pounding nervously.

"I hope he doesn't come into the office."

On the other hand, Mango was trying to contact Nathaniel. However, she was unable to get through at all because his phone was set in flight mode.

Mango was extremely anxious but she couldn't enter the place.

Meanwhile, the office door was suddenly opened.

Zion and Wisdom held each other's hands tightly and they broke out in a cold sweat.

A man walked up to the desk and he pulled open the drawer. It seemed that he was in search of something.

No doubt, Wisdom was terrified. He couldn't help but shrink into the corner. Yet, he didn't expect to bump into the table.

Oh no!

Zion muttered inwardly and he glanced at Wisdom.

The man also sensed that someone was under the table, and he immediately bent down to have a look.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

At this moment, Wisdom threw a punch right at the man's eyes.

"Ouch! Which crazy b*stard beat me!"

Upon hearing his scream, Zion hurriedly rushed out. He then knocked the man over with several punches and kicks. Zion even used a towel to gag the person's mouth.

"Run!"

Zion held the man down and he shouted at Wisdom, who was in a state of befuddlement.

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me. I can get out of here. You'd better leave now!"

Thinking that Zion was a genius and that he was likely to become a burden if he stayed, Wisdom quickly escaped.

Before leaving, he whispered, "I'll find Uncle and ask him to save you out!"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Just then, Zion noticed a gun in the man's pocket.

When he was about to reach out, the man finally reacted and he broke free from Zion's grip.

Despite being skilled in fighting, Zion was a child nonetheless. How could he defeat an adult with his limited strength?

Zion was immediately tossed to the corner by the man with a swift fling.

Unfortunately, his head accidentally knocked against the table and the excruciating pain instantly traveled through him.

Without further ado, Zion clambered to his feet and he ran out of the room.

That man was stunned by Zion's agility and intelligence. Plus, this kid even endured his injuries to escape him.

He rang the alarm quickly.

All of a sudden, the ear- piercing siren resounded the entire place.

Nathaniel was startled by the sound as soon as he entered. He frowned and before realizing that something was wrong.

He hurriedly headed towards the direction of the sound of the alarm.

Meanwhile, Zion was yanked by the man in the back of his collar before he had a chance to reach the door.

"You brat! Let's see where can you go now!"

In a moment of desperation, Zion took off his jacket and he escaped from the man's grip.

"F*ck! Hey! Rascal! Stop right there!"

The man was trembling with rage.

How could he be fooled by a kid over and over again? This was ridiculous!

Infuriated, the man threw Zion's coat away and he chased after the latter.

Zion didn't know which direction to run, so he simply chose the right and ran incessantly.

"Quick! Catch him!"

The man shouted loudly behind him.

Several brawny figures immediately came running after him.

Zion was in fear and trepidation.

What would happen if he couldn't defeat these guys?

Zion hesitated whether to jump right down the window.

Following the water pipe outside, he probably could climb down safely from there.

With these thoughts in mind, Zion quickly grabbed on some random items and he threw them in their direction.

While these people were dodging, Zion ran quickly towards the window.

"Don't let him run away! This brat was sneaking around the manager's office and we still don't know what he's up to!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone regained their strength, and they chase after Zion in unison.

Zion was about to open the window to jump down when someone stood behind him and grabbed him by the waist.

"You punk! Where do you think you're going?"

"Hey! Let me go!"

Zion struggled forcefully, and he even kicked them. At the critical moment, he even used his mouth to bite his opponent's wrist.

Although the man was suffering in extreme pain, he didn't dare to let go. He quickly raised the other hand to hit Zion's neck.

The intense pain spiked through him, and Zion instantly passed out.

"Quick, take him away!"

The man took Zion away immediately.

After Wisdom escaped, he quickly hid in the next room to hide away from their gaze.

Upon seeing them left the place, Wisdom finally mustered up his courage and he opened the door to escape.

"Wisdom?"

Fortunately, he ran into Nathaniel as soon as he came out.

"Uncle!"

Wisdom's eyes suddenly welled up in tears.

"Where's Zion?"

"He's still in the office. He asked me to go first. Uncle, let's go back and save him, okay?" Wisdom quickly grabbed Nathaniel's arm.

His hands were freezing cold.

Nathaniel knew that he must be frightened, "Wisdom, listen to me. I will bring you to the window. You'll have to climb down the water pipe and go to the opposite cafe to find your Mommy. Is that okay?"

"Uncle, are you going to save Zion by yourself?"

Wisdom looked at Nathaniel and he was hoping to get an accurate response.

"Yes!"

Nathaniel's determined tone reassured

Wisdom, and the latter nodded in agreement.

"I can do it!"

Soon, Wisdom was sent to the window by Nathaniel. The adult watched as Wisdom climbed down the water pipe before running towards the cafe.

It wasn't until Wisdom entered the cafe that Nathaniel turned around to find Zion.

Unfortunately, because of this delay, Zion was beaten up to an unconscious state and he was directly brought to the basement.

Meanwhile, the people upstairs were still searching in a pretentious manner.

Nathaniel avoided them as usual, but he still couldn't find Zion after searching for a while.

Just then, he heard the two men discussing something.

"Is it possible that the brat ran out? Otherwise, why couldn't we find him anywhere?"

"Who knows? We have no idea where that kid came from. How dare he hide in the manager's office! There are so much information and documents in the office, and we probably lost them because of him. If the manager finds out, he'll skin us alive!"

"Ugh, that's enough! We'll talk about it later. Let's find that kid first."

Their voices were getting farther away.

Upon hearing their conversation, Nathaniel frowned slightly.

Could it be that Zion had really escaped?

Based on his son's intelligence and wisdom, it was quite possible. However, Nathaniel still wanted to look for him again just to be assured.

A few minutes have passed, more and more people were coming back, and Nathaniel didn't dare to delay his pace anymore. Therefore, he hurriedly ran back to the direction where he first entered.

Once he arrived at the cafe, both Wisdom and Mango turned to look behind him.

"Where's Zion?"

Nathaniel's heart sank when he heard them.

"He didn't come back?"

"No, did you see him?"

Mango was anxious instantly.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's expression darkened.

"I couldn't find him, neither did the members of the club. I thought he had run out by himself."

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango said concernedly, "We've been keeping an eye on this place and he never appeared."

"We can't go back now. All of them are back. Mango, why don't you take Wisdom back home first, and I'll see if there's any way to sneak in and find him."

Nathaniel was anxious as well.

If Zion hadn't come out yet, where could he be?

However, Wisdom grabbed Nathaniel's sleeve and he whispered, "Uncle, you must find Zion, or he will die!"

"What did you say?"

Both Mango and Nathaniel were shocked by Wisdom's words.

"Come on, Wisdom! Don't talk nonsense. You're scaring Mommy."

Mango's expression worsened.

Wisdom remained silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something. Then, he suddenly said, "We really wanted to learn shooting here because Zion said that we'd have a promising future. But before we could finish our visit, my Daddy suddenly came."

"Your Daddy?"

Nathaniel and Mango were surprised.

How did Nick know their whereabouts?

And if he knew, why didn't Nick call them?

Wisdom nodded before saying, "Yes, it's my dad. He's very familiar with the club manager. Both of us hid in the air vent of the manager's office and we heard my father asking the people to find us. He ordered them to knock me out and get rid of Zion immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mango felt chills running down her spine.

"What did he say? What did he want to do to Zion?"

Nathaniel's expression turned gloomy.

Although he refused to believe that, the child wouldn't lie, right? Moreover, Wisdom was Nick's child. A son wouldn't frame his father, right?

"Are you sure you heard everything correctly, Wisdom?"

"Yes! Zion heard it too, so both of us hid in the vent all the time and we didn't dare to come out. We somehow fell asleep after that. When we woke up, both of us were blocked by the people inside during our escape."

Unfortunately, they had bad luck this time.

Nathaniel's expression turned grimmer.

Mango looked at him and she asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do? If everything Wisdom said is true, should we

send him back?"
