The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Mommy, do you want to see it? I have some screenshots."

Zion's words made Mango blush like a maiden.

"No... I'm not interested in his... private area."

"It's okay to look at it and see if it's bigger than Mr.

Ye's. I haven't got the chance to peek at his..."

Frankly, Mango was so startled that she choked on her own saliva.

"You'd better get rid of the idea if you don't want to be beaten up by your dad."

Mango could not understand what was going on in Zion's mind.

Just then, Emberly's voice came from outside.

"Miss Gerner, are you there?"

Hence, Mango was stunned as she had totally forgotten about this matter.

"I'm here, but I'm busy now as I'm on a call. I'll get back to you later downstairs."

Mango said through the door.

Emberly was confused, but she knew that Mango wouldn't be able to escape as there were surveillance cameras and bodyguards all over the place, so she said, "Alright, Miss Gerner, but please hurry up as I don't have many passes left with me. Plus, the rules have become really strict now. Three more people came by today, and I don' t intend to reserve the passes for anyone."

"Got it."

Next, Mango knitted her brows tightly.

What was so tempting about the Underground City that so many people visited this place?

Due to that, Mango became even more curious than before.

Then, Zion asked in a low tone upon hearing their conversation, "Mommy, are you in trouble now?"

"Yes, things are getting a little bit tricky here."

Mango thought about it for a moment and figured that Zion was probably the only one who could help her right now. She was afraid that Zion would become suspicious earlier so she never spilled a word, but who knew that he figured it out himself?

The only person who could resolve the urgent problem she faced now was Zion.

"Zion, I used a fake name to prevent anyone from knowing my true identity, but now they are asking for my ID card and I can't produce one, do you have any solutions?"

Mango wouldn't have asked this to an ordinary child, but her son was Zion Shen, so she thought that she should give it a try.

Then, Zion frowned slightly.

"What's your fake name?"

"Paola Gerner."

"You could tell them that you've lost your ID card and ask them to check it online because even if I create an ID card now, you won't be able to get it. But if we use the internet, I can fabricate a new identity for you and guarantee that it wouldn't cause any problems when they look it up. However, I'll need to hack into the police's security system, so the fake identity can't be sustained for too long. Did you reveal where you're from?"

Fortunately, Zion's words made Mango feel calmer.

"I didn't, anywhere is fine as long as it's not Ocean City."

"Got it, mommy, give me three minutes."

Hence, Mango was surprised and amazed to hear what Zion said.

"Three minutes? Is that enough for you? It's okay, you don't have to rush it as I can stall them for ten minutes, or even half an hour if you need it."

"Mommy, it will arouse suspicion if you take too long. I can settle the issue in three minutes, so don't worry."

Having said that, Zion hung up the call.

After that, his fingers flew across the keyboard.

Meanwhile, Gissel was sitting beside him, and she was flabbergasted by Zion's ability. At the same time, she felt inferior as she couldn't recognize even a single line of code that Zion created. She was a few years older than Zion, and yet she could not compare to him now that they were side by side. Hence, she felt inadequate and even had the urge to run away all of a sudden. However, Zion didn't notice that Gissel was downcast as he was busy hacking the security system of the police force. He searched through the system quickly and noticed a vacancy in a remote town. Then, he quickly entered Mango's fake identity and changed her birthdate as well as her ID number.

Everything was done in exactly three minutes.

The corners of Zion's mouth lifted into a smile as he checked the time confidently and noticed that he had used precisely three minutes.

Then, Zion immediately placed a call to Mango.

"Mommy, it's done."

"Really?"

It was rather surreal to Mango.

Lady Luck must be smiling down on her to have such a genius for a son!

Then, Zion said proudly, "Absolutely, cause I'm the one handling it. I'll send the identity to you so you can have a look. Keep that information in mind, so don't make any mistakes later on. By the way, mommy, I chose a city that is situated in a remote area and I didn't use a famous identity in case you were exposed. However, you can't enter the Underground City without a reputation, so I asked someone from the Dark Night to contact a local rich man, Richard Wang. Just mention that you're his adopted daughter and that you're here on his behalf."

Mango was incredibly pleased to know that her son had everything arranged for her.

"Alright, thank you, Zion."

"You're welcome!"

After that, Zion sent the fabricated identity to Mango.

Hence, Mango couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief the moment she saw her face appear in the police security system.

She quickly wrote down the information and she took a deep breath before she opened the door and left.

"Help! Someone, help!"

Mango suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs.

Of course, Emberly was the first one to rush over.

"Miss Gerner, what's wrong?"

"My wallet is missing! Aren't there surveillance cameras in your hotel? Hurry up and check if one of your workers took it when they cleaned up my room!

Mango's expression had contorted into something extremely unpleasant.

Hence, Emberly was stupefied for a moment before she said with a fake smile, "Miss Gerner, what a coincidence... I wanted to take a look at your ID card, but now your wallet is missing?"

"What do you mean? Are you implying that I did this on purpose? Let me tell you, I, Paola Gerner, am not afraid of being questioned! I wouldn't have come here if I haven't heard good things about this place, yet you're talking to me like this now? Are you looking down on me?"

Thus, Mango's expression became gloomy in a flash.

Emberly did not have a comeback as she saw how confident Mango was.

"Miss Gerner, please don't be angry, our hotel staff is very disciplined and I'm sure they won't steal your purse. Why don't you try looking for it again?"

"Are you saying that I'm deliberately hiding my purse in order to ruin the reputation of your hotel?"

"That's not the case, Miss Gerner, please calm down..."

"How could you ask me to calm down? Whatever it is, if I can't find my purse today, I'll call the police." Mango huffed in anger.

Then, Emberly knitted her brows together in a frown when she heard that Mango intended to call the police.

Although she had nothing to hide regarding her business, it would be difficult for her to justify things if the police got involved and she was afraid that everything about the Underground City would be exposed. Hence, Emberly's expression slightly softened at the thought of this.

"Miss Gerner, I just want to see your ID card, but if you've really lost it, can you tell me your ID number? I'll just look it up on the internet. As for your wallet, our hotel will investigate the matter thoroughly for you."

What she meant was that if Mango was really Paola Gerner, then they would look into it and return her wallet. However, there would be serious consequences if she were found to be a fake. Obviously, Mango understood what she meant but she sneered, "How can I let you have my ID number so easily?"

"Then how are you going to prove your identity? As you know, we've been very strict recently. I can't do anything unless you don't intend to go to the Underground City anymore." "That's impossible! I came here especially to visit it!"

Anger boiled in Mango's chest.

"If that is so, I'm sorry, but you must prove your identity, Miss Gerner."

After saying that, Emberly laughed in a superficial manner.

Then, Mango said angrily, "I can tell you my ID number but you must promise me not to leak it, if not there will be consequences."

"Of course, that's for sure."

Emberly nodded eagerly.

Then, Mango told Emberly her ID number in a low tone.

The manager quickly told the person beside her to use their phone to give it a quick check on the internet. After that, they found information about Paola Gerner, and it was even documented in the police security system.

Hence, Emberly felt a weight lift off her shoulders having seen the record of Mango's false identity.

"I'm so sorry, Miss Gerner, I'll ask someone to look for your wallet right away."

"Fine, forget it! There isn't much cash in my wallet other than my ID and a few credit cards anyway. It would be really troublesome to apply for a card now, but luckily I have my phone with me so I can still make transactions in the Underground City."

Mango waved her hand impatiently as she said that.

On the other hand, Emberly was extremely happy to hear what Mango said.

"Of course! Miss Gerner, please don't take it to heart, I'll ask a waiter to send some refreshments to you as an apology."

"Hmph! I'm not interested in such petty things!"

Having said that, Mango went straight back to her room.

However, she realized that her back was drenched in sweat the moment she closed the door.

In truth, she was very nervous the whole time.

She had always known how capable Zion was, but she didn't expect him to be such an expert. Mango's heart was thumping rapidly in anxiety when

Emberly told the worker to look up her information.

Then, she let out a sigh of relief as she sprawled out on the bed. Her breath came in heavy gasps.

Right at this moment, she received a message from Zion.

"Mommy, I've found out Uncle Song's location and it's right here. Have a look to see if you know where it is."

Mango looked at the map Zion sent and quickly looked it up on the internet. Then, she realized that the place wasn't far from the Equatorial Hotel, and it seemed to be a church.

The church was the Underground City?

Could it be that Zion made a mistake in the location?

"Zion, this is a church. It's very conspicuous, so are you sure Walter is there?"

Hence, Zion found it strange as well after hearing what Mango said.

"But the signal shows that he's right there. Although the signal's strength wavers at times, it's really accurate."

In truth, Zion had no idea what went wrong.

Mango hurriedly said upon hearing her son's reaction, "It's fine, I will go and take a look later.

Where are you now?" "I'm at Uncle Soo's house."

Then, Zion said in a low voice, "Mommy, should I go to the military base to check on Wisdom and Rita? I'm afraid that Rita will be worried if you're not around."

Hence, Mango couldn't help but recall her conversation with Rita.

Everyone thought that all Rita cared about was food and having fun, but Mango was the first to realize that Rita was a genius in disguise.

"That's not necessary, Rita is fine and everything will be okay as long as Wisdom is around. Stay at Uncle Soo's house and keep in touch with me at all times. Hopefully, we can save your dad and Uncle Song.

"I'm sure we can, mommy!"

Zion was busy comforting Mango when he yelped all of a sudden, "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?"

Then, the signal was cut off from Zion's side.
