The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 502

Looking at the shrewd expression of the manager, Nathaniel couldn't help but sneer, "Really? Coach Barnes gave my wife a name card and he wanted to recruit my son into the shooting club. Well, now I'm here to take a look at the place. Manager, please show me the way."

After that, Nathaniel entered directly.

The manager suddenly became wary of him.

"Mr. Ye, there's no one here today. Everyone has gone out. If you want to visit the place, why don't you come again another time?"

"Who gives you the rights to disobey my orders? Do I still have to wait for another day? Sir, you've gone too far."

The manager felt pressured upon hearing his words.

"No...no! That's not what I meant. Why don't you wait a moment, Mr. Ye? I'll get someone to arrange it right away."

"It's fine, I'm just looking around."

Nathaniel pushed the manager away as he made his way through.

The manager broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he hinted at the staff beside him to inform Nick about the matter immediately.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel noticed his tricky gesture, but he pretended not to see it.

He brought his men to look around the place. It was as if he was interested in everything.

Upon looking at how Nathaniel was wandering leisurely, the manager muttered silently to himself.

Didn't Nick mention that the two children had run away from home?

Since the kids were missing, how could Nathaniel have the mood to roam around the club comfortably?

Something didn't seem quite right!

Could it be that the two children were in the club?

The thought of it made him scare out of his wits.

What if Nathaniel found the two grandsons of the Ye family right at this place? If so, how should he explain himself?

He became even more restless at the thought of it. At this moment, the manager hoped for Nick's immediate arrival.

Meanwhile, Nick was somewhat surprised when he received the call from the manager.

He never thought that Nathaniel would actually go to the shooting club.

His expression turned gloomy and displeased. Nick immediately gave up the idea of searching other places and he drove directly to the shooting club.

"Nathaniel, what are you doing here?"

The manager let out a sigh of relief upon Nick's arrival.

Although it was just a small deceptive act from the manager, Nathaniel still noticed it.

It seemed like Wisdom was telling the truth. This place and the manager were probably all under Nick's control.

Thinking of this, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that I took Zion for shooting in the playground yesterday evening. A coach named Maxwell Barnes gave us a business card and he wanted to recruit Zion to the club. As you know, Zion likes guns very much, and I just wanted to check if he and Wisdom were here. After all, we lost that business card."

Nick was stunned upon hearing this.

Then, he glared at the manager.

The manager knew that his subordinate had caused some serious trouble. Then, he quickly made up an excuse, "Mr. Ye, no kids visited here today, let alone the two children you mentioned."

"How do you know that I came here on behalf of the two children?"

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as he stared at him.

Only then did the manager realize that he had said something wrong and he explained hastily, "I simply guessed it. Didn't Ye's family has a pair of twins? I thought it was them."

Although his justification sounded a little farfetched, it did make sense after all.

Nathaniel glanced at him coldly and he continued to walk forward.

While the manager was slightly intimidated, Nick did not say anything and he followed directly behind Nathaniel.

"Nathaniel, I don't think they will come here."

"Who knows?"

Nathaniel responded ambiguously. Just then, he stopped in front of the bathroom.

"I'm going to the bathroom. Do you wanna tag along?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"No thanks, bro."

Nick hurriedly rejected.

Nathaniel then went into the bathroom without saying a word.

After he entered the bathroom, Nick looked at the manager coldly before asking in a low voice, "Have the children been found?"

"Not yet, but I've never heard of them showing up here."

The manager broke out in a cold sweat.

Nick squinted his eyes and he continued, "Cancel all the plans for the time being and find the two children first. Remember, no mistakes are allowed."

"Yes, sir!"

In the meantime, Nathaniel was eavesdropping on their conversation from inside with a small earpiece in his hand. He had planted a tiny bugging device on Nick while the latter was distracted.

After hearing their conversation, it had proven the validity of Wisdom's words. The operation of this place was indeed under Nick's control.

At this moment, Nathaniel was having mixed emotions and he threw away the listening device in his hand.

When he came out, Nathaniel gave Nick a meaningful look and the latter was somewhat guilty.

"Bro, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Nathaniel responded blandly. At the same time, he was scanning and searching all over the place. However, he failed to find Zion.

At the same time, Zion and the other children were watched closely by several security guards. The bodyguards did not allow them to make any noises and they even tied them up. They were afraid that the kids would take the opportunity to scream for help.

Although these people couldn't speak, they could still make a sound.

Plus, surveillance cameras were being set up in the underground basement.

Zion noticed that Nathaniel had brought along several men over in search of him. Unfortunately, he couldn't get out of the room even though they were only a few distances away.

Zion couldn't scream for help all by himself. Moreover, he was even planning to help the children escape.

Looking at Nathaniel's distressed expression from afar, tears welled up in his eyes unknowingly.

"Mr. Ye, I'm here! Here!"

Zion was desperately crying out in his heart, but he didn't dare to make any sound.

These people were too cruel. He was afraid of what they would do to the children if their brutality was exposed.

The things they did to the children had exceeded everyone's perception.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards were becoming increasingly anxious.

"Hey, what's with Mr. Ye's sudden visit to our place?"

One of them asked another security guard.

"Haven't you heard about it? Coach Barnes has gotten himself in big trouble. There are many other children out there. Just why the hell did he approach Mr. Ye's son?

"You're right! Isn't he just stirring up trouble for us?"

"By the way, have you hide John away? Don't let Mr. Ye see it, otherwise, we'll be in serious trouble if he blames it on us."

Zion frowned slightly.

John Wang?

Although he didn't know who John was, according to their conversation, were they implying that John was the person hunted by Nathaniel?

Zion became extremely anxious.

How on earth was he going to escape from here?

His nimble-witted intelligence seemed to be rather useless now.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had searched all over the place but there was still no trace of Zion. Right now, he was very disappointed and grew increasingly concerned about Zion's safety.

If Zion wasn't here, then where would he be?

Wisdom said that Zion had parted with him right at this place. Also, he had sent people outside in search of him, but they reported no trace of Zion as well.

Therefore, what went wrong with the plan?

Just then, one of Nathaniel's men ran in from outside.

"Mr. Ye, we found something."

"Say it!"

Nathaniel's expression suddenly became serious.

"A waste collector went out a few moments ago, and our people noticed that there were two children in the garbage wagon. One of them died, and the other seemed to have been taken away by someone."

"Where did they go?"

Nathaniel was in a bundle of nerves.

The waste collector?

"Show me the video!"

Nathaniel's firm request put the manager in a difficult position.

"Mr. Ye, didn't you come here to check out the venue and the environment for your children? Why..."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at the manager and he said coldly, "I'm gonna tell you the truth now. My son went missing in your club. If I ever find out that it was you guys who kidnapped my son, I will destroy your club!"

Nick stood on the side and he didn't refute Nathaniel's words. Then, he chimed in, "Yes, my son is missing too. So, turn on the monitor and let us have a look. Do you know the consequences of

losing Ye family's grandsons?"

The manager quickly lowered his head.

"Yes...yes! But we are wronged. We would never kidnap the kids from the Ye family!"

"Cut the crap!"

Nathaniel had no patience at all.

Seeing that Nathaniel was about to lose his temper, the manager quickly took them to the monitoring room.

As expected, a woman in disguise was pushing a garbage cart out of the club.

The garbage truck was very large, and there were black plastic bags underneath it. Who could notice that there was a child in it?

The two plastic bags were obviously moving, but no one noticed them.

Nathaniel clenched his fist tightly.

"Find it out for me! Who is this woman? Where did she send the child to?"

"Mr. Ye, one of them has died, and he was thrown at the garbage collection station. We have called the police on this. The other one is said to have been taken to the railway station, and we have no idea who took him away. We are still investigating."

Nathaniel keyed up upon hearing the report from them.

"The one who died..."

"It's a girl, Mr. Ye. Don't worry."

After hearing this, Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully!

It wasn't Zion!

That brat! If he found him this time, Nathaniel would definitely break his legs! Let's see if Zion dared to run away from the house again!

However, Nathaniel felt uneasy and restless.

"Chase after them! You guys must get that child back for me no matter what."

"Yes, sir!"

Those men continued to carry out their investigation.

Meanwhile, the manager and Nick were both stunned and speechless.

"Bro, are you doubting..."

"I'm not doubting anything. I'm not gonna jump to any conclusion before we find him! Are you that eager to see me suspect about anything?"

Nathaniel fixed his eyes on Nick.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Nick felt that Nathaniel's words were directed against him.

"No, I'm also worried."

"Hurry up and find him if you're worried! I'll leave this to you. I don't wish to see the news of missing children from the Ye family spreading across the town."

After saying that, Nathaniel turned and he left.

He knew that Nick could handle all this alone, and this was one of the reasons why Nathaniel dared to search for Zion publicly in the place.

After all, the place belonged to Nick, and he would certainly suppress the news to preserve their family's reputation.

After Nathaniel came out, he whispered to the people around him, "Leave a few people here to observe secretly. I have a feeling that Zion is still here."
