The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 504

Mango and Nathaniel were stunned.

Wisdom's statement had given them a huge shock.

They knew better than anyone on how Wisdom had gotten back, but what did the child mean by saying that?

Wisdom didn't look at them. He just hid in Madam Ye's arms while crying his eyes out.

Seeing that both Mango and Nathaniel were completely unmoved, or perhaps they were stunned by the sudden disclosure, Madam Ye couldn't help but yell angrily, "What are you waiting for? Go and look for Zion! If he is taken away by the traffickers, god knows how badly it will turn out. How dare you guys still be at ease!"

Nathaniel immediately came to his senses and he said to Mango, "You stay with Mom. I'll send someone to look for him."

Then, he ran out at the speed of light while staggering.

Upon seeing this, Nick's eyebrow slightly wrinkled.

While they were at the shooting club, he didn't quite believe it when Nathaniel said that the children went to the club. He thought that he was talking nonsense. However, Nick was a little convinced after hearing what Wisdom said.

Wisdom would never lie, and he would never dare to do that in front of him. So, Wisdom was the only one being brought out of the club, and Zion had been kidnapped on the way out?

Moreover, the manager said to him that the two children being sent away were girls, not boys. Therefore, Wisdom's statements were quite reliable.

At the thought of Zion's disappearance, Nick suddenly felt a little delighted.

Finally, no one was going to compete against Wisdom.

However, Nick hid this thrill of joy deep in his heart and he didn't express it out.

Seeing Madam Ye's anxious expression, Mango hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, don't worry. Nathan has already gone out to look for him. I believe that he will find Zion!"

"If that doesn't work, we will make police reports to search for Zion."

"No way."

Hearing Madam Ye's suggestion, Nick hastily stopped her.

"Mom, you know the Ye family has countless competitors and enemies. Can you imagine what will happen if those people find out about Zion's disappearance? I'm afraid that kid will be in danger before the police can locate him."

"What should we do? Do you expect us to wait at home like this? Zion is still so young. How can he possibly escape from those criminals? He's lucky enough to be sold away to somewhere else, but what if his limbs are cut off or his organs are gouged out, I...I..."

Madam Ye felt tense and restless the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she clutched her chest and was almost out of breath. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Doctor! Ask the doctor over!"

Mango was so scared that her face turned pale.

Madam Ye's words earlier made her even more terrified and nervous. However, she had to remain calm now.

Didn't Wisdom say that Zion was still at the club?

Although Nathaniel hadn't found Zion, he wouldn't have fall into the hands of the human traffickers like what Madam Ye said, right?

And that was the only reasoning that she could come up with, which definitely eased her worries slightly.

The family doctor hadn't left yet. He immediately rushed over to take care of Madam Ye after hearing Mango's call for help.

The whole Ye family was in a chaotic state.

Just then, Nick had to keep the situation under control.

Meanwhile, Wisdom grabbed Mango's hand and he said, "Mommy, I'm sorry for not discussing with you before I said it out. It's my fault."

"What the hell is going on?"

Mango felt that Wisdom was still being cautious with his words.

She knew that Wisdom would never lie, but Mango was sure that he had certainly made up a lie this time.

Wisdom said in a low voice, "It was Zion who asked me to say so."

"Zion? You've gotten in touch with him?"

Mango was surprised.

That was right! Zion was a genius and he should have the ways to contact them, right?

However, Wisdom shook his head before saying, "No, Zion told me to say so before I left the place. We heard that my Daddy was going to kill him, so Zion said that he would ask me about his whereabouts after I come out alone. Even if I found Uncle and Mommy, Daddy would still be suspicious. So, Zion said that this is the only way you guys can avoid suspicion."

At this moment, Mango was having mixed feelings.

This brat had already figured everything out in advance and he even thought of the dialogue.

"Why didn't you say it earlier when we sent you back home?"

"Zion said that it wouldn't work because my words would sound too intentionally. The only way is to let me come back by myself. Mommy, if I said it as soon as I got back, my dad wouldn't put his guard up against me. As such, I'll have the opportunity to find out about Zion's whereabouts from him."

Wisdom said firmly with confidence.

Mango couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Good boy, it's fine as long as you're safe. Leave the rest to your Uncle and Mommy."

Mango held him tightly in her arms.

This child had obviously suffered a great shock, especially when the culprit was Nick, his father.

Mango felt sorry for what Wisdom had to go through as a child. At the thought of it, she couldn't help but hold Wisdom in her embrace to comfort him.

Wisdom was exhausted after running back by himself. Soon, he fell asleep in Mango's arms.

Meanwhile, after Madam Ye woke up, she once again cried her heart out at the thought of Zion's disappearance.

Mango was worried about her.

After Nathaniel walked out of the house, he pretended to arrange for people to look for Zion. However, he felt heavy-hearted at the same time.

What if Zion was captured by the human traffickers for real? What would happen if Mango found out about it?

Upon the thought that the child at the station was still nowhere to be found, Nathaniel became extremely anxious.

However, he wouldn't feel at ease to leave Mango and the family matters behind to go in search of Zion personally. Nathaniel was also worried about what Nick might do against them.

Never did Nathaniel expect that there would be a day that he would be wary against his brothers.

Nathaniel lit up a cigarette and Nick also came out at the same time.

"Nathan, why are you still here?"

"Mango is in poor health. I've asked people to search for Zion, but I'm unsure about it too."

Nathaniel seemed to have been very torn apart.

Seeing this, Nick replied, "You don't have to worry about Mom and Mango. Leave it to me. Besides, Zion is so clever, and he should be fine."

Nathaniel was slightly displeased upon hearing his words.

"After all, he is still a four-year-old child! So what if he's smarter than most people his age? Besides, isn't Mango a grown-up adult? Didn't she also got held hostage a few days ago? Speaking about this, why didn't you tell me about it?"

Nathaniel took the opportunity to raise the topic. Meanwhile, Nick was slightly stunned before saying, "We couldn't get in touch with you during that time, right? I was also anxious. Our people had been looking all over for Mango but to no avail. Although I'm not as capable as you, at least I did try to protect her. Later, I heard that she was discovered in the Hans family's place. I wanted to ask Terrance about it, but Mom stopped me from going. So, you can ask her about it."

After hearing Nick's explanation, a sense of complex emotion struck through Nathaniel.

"I see. Sorry for troubling you then."

"Not at all. We are a family after all. But where did you go during that time? Mango said that something happened to our company's overseas branch and that you've gone abroad for a business trip. I had probed through this issue and it seemed like nothing went wrong with the branch. After that, I couldn't get through to you. Are you all right?"

Nick looked at him with a concerned expression. However, Nathaniel could no longer trust him just like how he did in the past.

Especially when Wisdom told him that Nick wanted Zion to die.

Nathaniel shook his head before saying, "It's nothing. My phone had some issues, and I was busy dealing with some matters at that time. So, I didn't have time to fix my phone."

"Oh, how about Thomas? You're back now, but where's him?"

Nick seemed to mention it unintentionally, but it made Nathaniel uncomfortable.

What was he trying to do?

Was he keeping an eye on him?

"I sent Thomas out to handle some affairs. What's the matter? Do you have something to discuss with him?"

"No. I thought that since Zion was still missing, it might be better if Thomas is here to help. After all, he is your assistant."

Nick wore a bland smile, and he sounded normal.

However, Nathaniel whispered, "Zion is my son, and I will find him myself no matter where he is. If I ever find out that someone is trying to harm him, I will never let it go."

Nick's body stiffened upon hearing this. He then said, "Do you perhaps know who took Zion away?"

No, but there's always a way to find out, right? No secrets can remain hidden forever unless that person conceals it well."

After those words, Nathaniel turned around to leave.

Nick narrowed his gaze as he watched him walked away. His current emotion was indecipherable.

Meanwhile, Mango took the opportunity to tell Nathaniel about Wisdom's revelation.

Nathaniel missed his son so much and he couldn't bear to tell Mango the truth after looking at her distressed expression. In the meantime, he was still unsure about the identity of the child that was being taken away.

No!

He shouldn't tell Mango about it!

She would not be able to take it based on her current state!

It would be best if the child wasn't Zion. If that wasn't the case, Nathaniel didn't wish to let Mango bear the truth at this moment.

"I'll take you back to the villa for a rest."

After all, Nathaniel wasn't at ease upon seeing Nick's presence at the mansion.

However, Mango shook her head, "I know what you're worried about. Since I know about everything, I'll protect myself. Mom and Wisdom are still here, so I can't leave. Besides, if I go back home, you'll have to travel back and forth and it will be tiring for you. So, why don't I stay here to wait for you? Anyway, is there any update about Zion?"

Mango didn't have the opportunity to ask previously because everyone was busy searching for Wisdom. Now that she had asked, Nathaniel tried his best to calm his nerves down.

"Not yet, but our people are still searching. Don't worry, I will definitely bring Zion back here safe and sound."

"We've been looking for so long, but still couldn't find him. It seems that there really is something wrong with that club."

Mango wasn't a complete fool either.

Clearly, Zion was in the shooting club, but they still couldn't find him. This probably implied that there was still a hidden place in the club that they didn't know about.

Nathaniel had thought about it as well. However, out of consideration of Mango's health, he still hoped that she would stop worrying about it and returned to the villa for a rest.

Mango smiled while saying, "If you're worried, why don't we go out and look for him together?"

"You'd better stay at home."

Nathaniel surrendered.

He couldn't sit still at home. Therefore, Nathaniel left the house to continue the search for Zion. Just then, Nick walked over.

"Mango, where is Nathan?"

Mango was slightly stunned and she said, "He went out to look for Zion. What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I just want to ask if he needs more help. I heard that Zion was taken to a train before went missing from there. I'm not sure if Nathan would go over there."

"What did you just say?"

Mango was completely dumbfounded.

Zion was abducted by the human traffickers for real?
