The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 505

"Haven't you heard of it?"

Nick looked at Mango in surprise. Then, he said apologetically, "Geez, look what I've done! Nathan definitely didn't want you to worry and I shouldn't have said it. It's nothing, so just ignore my words earlier."

After that, Nick turned around and he was about to leave.

Just then, Mango grabbed his hand.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me clearly."

Mango knew that it might be one of Nick's scheming plans, but she had no other choice as this matter was related to Zion. Despite that, she still had to be cautious.

Nick pretended to be flustered before saying, "Mango, since Nathan has no intention of telling you, I won't be taking the blame if anything happens to you."

"What could happen to me? Tell me quickly, what happened to Zion?"

Mango was in a bundle of nerves.

Her nervous reaction was exactly what Nick wanted.

Then, a cunning look flashed across his eyes.

"Mango, everything is not confirmed yet. We had searched all over the club but still couldn't find Zion. Then, someone said that a cleaning lady was pushing the garbage cart out, and there were two children inside. One was dead and handled by the police, while the other was probably sold to a human trafficker. It seemed like the child was taken to the train station, but there were many

coaches there. So, it took a long time for us to search into it one by one. Nathan had already sent some people over to help in the afternoon, but there was still no news yet. That's why I came over to ask if he needs extra aid. After all, Wisdom is back, but Zion is still missing. I just want to help him." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Upon hearing his words, Mango almost scared out of her wits and she lost her balance.

Zion was taken to the train by a human trafficker?

Why didn't Nathaniel say anything about it?

Nick glanced at Mango's pale face and he curled his lips. Then, he said in a low voice, "Mango, don't worry. Nathan should be able to find Zion. Previously, he was missing for eight days, but didn't he come back safely as well? During that time, everyone was unable to reach him and was afraid that he'll be in danger. Unexpectedly, he returned casually, right? Still, I noticed that his expression just now didn't look quite good. Is he okay? If there's anything you guys need, feel free to tell me. After all, we're brothers, and I will always help you guys."

Mango was flustered and stunned, but she quickly reacted after hearing Nick's words.

"Nothing. His phone was broken, and he was not used to eating food from abroad. So, Nathan lost some weight after he returned."

"Really? Nathan has always been going on business trips all over the country. I didn't expect that he still dislikes food from abroad."

Nick was calmly asking the question, while Mango was quick to notice his unusual behavior and she was relatively alert.

"Who knows? He doesn't care about his health, so what can I do? Regarding Zion's issue, I'll leave it to you guys. I have to check up on Mom's condition now. She is also worried about the situation."

"Alright."

Nick didn't say anything more.

When Mango turned around to leave, she could feel the burning gaze radiating from his eyes.

He couldn't hold it in any longer, right?

What was he trying to scheme?

Mango felt that Nick's current attitude was completely different compared to when he first returned home.

Perhaps he was just faking it previously?

Or was that his true nature?

It seemed that their brotherly relationship grew distant ever since Nathaniel left Ocean City while handing over the family matters to Nick.

Now that she thought about it, Mango suddenly realized that Nick and Nathan had been getting along just like two total strangers.

Although Nick had helped Nathaniel when they were going against the Hans Family, Nick actually took advantage of the money from Nathaniel's venture capital to support HY Group.

Therefore, did that implied that both of them were already on bad terms ever since the beginning?

Mango was thinking to herself as she walked straight into Madam Ye's room.

Her mother-in-law was still under the weather. Meanwhile, Mango ordered Lucy to look after Madam Ye as she suddenly sensed that her menstrual flow had increased.

She was slightly anxious about her health. When would her condition recover?

If what Nick said was true, then where was Zion now?

Worried, she quickly returned to her bedroom to call Nathaniel. However, her husband was too busy, and he didn't pick up the phone immediately.

Then, she called Merle again.

Merle didn't expect to receive a call from Mango. He was stunned for a moment but eventually picked up the call.

"Madam."

Right now, Merle addressed her as Madam since he was afraid that Mango's identity as the mistress of the Dark Night Empire would be exposed.

Upon hearing Merle's voice, Mango hurriedly asked, "Merle, where are you now?"

Merle was startled and he whispered, "I'm at the train station."

"Train station? Are you looking for the child being sent away by the female cleaner at the shooting club?"

Merle was even more dumbfounded by Mango's words.

"Madam, how did you know about this?"

"Is that true? Is it really the two children from the club? Is it Zion?"

Mango flinched at the thought of it.

Merle hurriedly explained, "We don't know yet. We are still investigating, but we didn't find traces of Zion at the shooting club. Madam, don't worry because Mr. Ye has personally headed over to check it out. We found some clues saying that the train has traveled down to the countryside and he has gone over there by himself."

Upon hearing that Nathaniel had traveled over there in person, Mango knew that this matter could be related to Zion.

That was to say, the child who was taken away might be Zion!

Nathaniel didn't tell her because he was afraid that she couldn't bear the truth, right?

But she was Zion's mother!

How could she not be worried?

Just then, she was shaking nervously.

Although Mango knew that her body couldn't stand all the pressure, she couldn't help herself.

Mango immediately called Genevieve.

"Genevieve, give me some medicine. I'm not feeling well right now, but I can't go to the hospital now. Also, I can't lie down and I can't rest."

Upon listening to her desperate request, Genevieve furrowed her eyebrows.

"What are you talking about? I told you before that you should visit the hospital immediately if you're feeling unwell."

"No. My son is missing now, and I can't be hospitalized."

Mango would've kept it a secret if it was someone else, but she felt more at ease to tell Genevieve about this matter.

Genevieve froze for a moment before asking, "Zion's missing? What's going on?"

"It's a long story. Do you have any quickacting medicine for me?"

"We don't have any fast-effect medicine, but you can come to the hospital to have an IV drip. It's a must!"

"No, I can't leave the house now. My mother-in-law is also sick. There is also a poorly traumatized child at home. Nathan went out to find Zion, and I have to pick up Rita from the school later. I really don't have the time."

After hearing her concerns, Genevieve immediately said, "Then, I'll head over and I'll help you bring Rita back. Don't come out and I'll bring some IV therapy with me. You'll have to listen to me if you still want to stay alive!"

It was impossible for Mango to refute Genevieve's words.

"Okay, I'll call Rita's teacher."

After Mango hung up, she informed Rita's teacher that Genevieve was picking up the child later. Mango even ordered Sisi to tag along just in case Rita refused to enter the car.

After everything that happened last night, she felt extremely weak.

Despite that, Mango still had to endure it because her son was missing now.

Just when Mango was in a state of anxiety and discomfort, Nathaniel, on the other hand, was chasing after the train like a madman. However, halfway through his journey, he encountered two

unknown cars that were charging towards him.

To catch up with the train, he didn't bring along anyone else with him. Instead, Nathaniel asked other people to follow behind him. However, their driving skills and speed were simply inferior compared to him.

Suddenly, the two cars bumped onto his car.

Soon, Nathaniel was trapped between the cars.

It was a narrow village road which could only fit one car. However, he was now surrounded by the two cars from the back and front. Nathaniel immediately sensed that something wasn't right.

Someone wanted to murder him while he was searching for his son!

Who was it?

Who would have known about his son's disappearance?

Apart from the Ye family members, it could only be the people from the shooting club. However, since the club was under Nick's lead, the answer to his doubt was seemingly obvious.

Nathaniel felt a burst of sadness in his heart.

Nick didn't only try to kill Zion, but was Nathaniel his target too?

In that case, Nick might also be the one who had poisoned him previously?

Yet, it was useless to contemplate these things now.

Even if it was true, could he possibly confront Nick?

Nathaniel was deeply hurt and devastated. How could they harm each other while destroying the bonds of brotherhood!

Nathaniel was willing to give away anything that Nick wanted because he had never thought about competing against him.

But apparently, Nick didn't think this way.

Nathaniel turned the steering wheel at full speed, but his car couldn't move on such a narrow road.

The vehicles from the front and back charged towards his direction aggressively.

In the nick of time, Nathaniel had no other choice but to drive across the ditch to dodge their attacks.

At this moment, all he wanted to do was to protect his own life and there was no time to care about anything else.

Meanwhile, the opponent didn't expect Nathaniel to escape towards the trench. Therefore, they couldn't slam the brake on time. Just then, the two cars slid in the opposite direction before crashing onto each other.

Nathaniel's car plunged off the edge of the ditch and overturned. However, his condition was better than the other two cars.

He quickly abandoned his car to climb out of the water.

After the cars banged into each other, some people managed to escape from the car, but the drivers were unable to help themselves up.

Just as some of the accomplices got off the car, the car suddenly exploded with a boom!

Everyone, including Nathaniel, was sent flying into the air as the shockwave of the explosion thrust outwards.

The blast was so strong that Nathaniel felt a little dizzy. Although he subconsciously protected himself when he landed on the ground, Nathaniel still suffered from numerous injuries. He also experienced tinnitus in the ears.

Nathaniel shook his head and he wanted to pull himself up. Unexpectedly, there were noises of gunshot resounded from behind.

He felt a throbbing pain pulsated through his head due to the clamorous sound, and Nathaniel held his head in pain. Just then, a bullet flew across the air before striking him from behind.
