The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Mateo had the same thoughts as Nathaniel.

He grabbed Cyrus by his collar and lifted him.

"You don't want to say it, do you? Well, I'll let you enter the afterworld then so that you can accompany your sister as I'm sure that you both have more to discuss."

Pharrell shivered but he nevertheless bit his lower lip and said, "I really have no idea what you're asking for and I've already admitted that I sent the parcel, so what else do you want?"

"You sent the parcel yet you've no idea what's in it?"

Nathaniel glared at Cyrus coldly as he pointed out Cyrus's lie in an instant.

Cyrus's eyes wandered around and he didn't dare to look at Nathaniel.

"My memory is really bad and I just forgot it... what's the big deal?" "You f*cking b*stard..."

Mateo was so angry that he wanted to hit him but Nathaniel said, "Forget it, he won't tell us anything, so let's go." "What? We're letting him off the hook just like that? What if he sends Mango strange items again?"

Mateo's anger flared up the moment he thought of this possibility.

Then, Nathaniel looked at Cyrus and sneered as he saw Cyrus smirking after hearing that they were going to let him go, "Uncle, we brought our bodyguards to look for Cyrus yet we let him go just like that without harming him at all, do you think that the mastermind behind this will believe that Cyrus didn't spill the beans?"

Mateo understood it in an instant.

"You're right."

He sneered as he shoved Cyrus aside and Cyrus fell to the ground.

At that moment, Cyrus also came to the realization.

"Nathaniel, you're incredibly wicked!"

"I have no choice as this is your decision and you should thank me for not wanting to hit a person today."

Nathaniel said coldly.

"Bullsh*t! You are not reluctant and you are just..."

Then, Cyrus paused his words all of a sudden.

He shut up out of sharp-wittedness as he realized that he was totally no compare to Nathaniel.

At that moment, Nathaniel knew that Cyrus would not spill a word no matter what he did after seeing his behavior.

A hint of wickedness flashed across his eyes.

Lets go.

Nathaniel was the first to walk away after saying that.

Mateo frowned but he followed Nathaniel out.

"Hey, are you really going to let go of him even though he's our only clue?"

Mateo was reluctant to release Cyrus.

Nathaniel took out a cigarette but he did not light it and just played with it in his fingers.

"It's either he runs away or he looks for the mastermind for help but well get some clues regardless of which method he uses. There's no use in locking him up now as he's probably just a useless pawn."

I see.

It was not until then that Mateo understood Nathaniel's intentions.

He wasn't stupid but he couldn't maintain his composure as Nathaniel could whenever the issue involved Mango.

Nevertheless, Mateo said coldly as he was dissatisfied with Nathaniel's calmness, "Do you even love Mango? How could you still figure things out so calmly at this point!"

However, Nathaniel shook his head and left as he knew that Mateo was just deliberately picking a fight with him.

Mateo followed Nathaniel from behind without the intention to shut his mouth as he was displeased with Nathaniel's reaction.

"I'm really puzzled... Why would Mango fall head over heels in love with a man like you? Do you even have charms? You look so gloomy all day long with your mouth shut most of the time and you're just like an emotionless statue. I would surely not let Mango marry someone like you if I had come back earlier."

Then, Nathaniel halted in his tracks and glared at Mateo coldly as Mateo spoke.

"What? Am I wrong? Do you have a problem with that?"

However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "I finally know why no one wants to be with you even though you're already in your thirties."

"You're the one that no one wants to be with! I was just too busy during youth all because of my tasks and I..."

"Forget it, you won't be able to get a girlfriend even if you weren't busy and let alone a wife."

Nathaniel turned and left after saying that,

Mateo was so exasperated that he scolded angrily, "Wait a minute! You'd better explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by that?"

The two of them left noisily one after the other.

Cyrus squinted his eyes when he saw their behavior.

His sister was in jail and he had to keep himself in the dark while living in fear yet they could spend their lives so carefreely!

Cyrus used to be a regular customer of a nightclub and he once spent money without having to think twice at all but Nathaniel and Mango including Walter had ruined everything.

Then, Cyrus called someone shortly after they left.

"Nathaniel came looking for me...what the h*ll did you send to Mango?"

"Don't ask as that's not something you should know... Also, you're really useless for having yourself exposed so easily."

The other party was using a voice changer.

Cyrus had never seen the mastermind and it was only because the other party promised to give him some benefits and let him avenge his sister that he listened to the person's orders. However, Cyrus became exasperated the moment he heard the other party belittled him like that.

"Why don't you blame yourself instead? You should have told me what's inside in advance so that he wouldn't have seen through my lie."

"Hold on, Nathaniel didn't torture you?"

The other party asked suddenly.

Cyrus said proudly, "There's nothing he could do to me as I refused to reveal anything!"

"Idiot! Nathaniel will have countless ways to make you spill the beans if he wants to know the truth from you yet he didn't do anything to you! Do you not know the reason? How dare you call me? I hope you die in horrible agony!"

Then, the person hung up the call immediately having said that.

"Hey, hey..."

Cyrus didn't expect that the person would treat him like this and he was so angry that he threw away his cell phone.

On the other hand, Nathaniel halted in his tracks the moment he heard Cyrus making a call and Mateo was stunned.

"What are you doing? Do you want to pick a fight with me?"

"You're sick and totally out of your mind!"

Nathaniel got in the car in a flash before taking out the laptop that he kept with him all the time. Afterward, red dots were flashing on the screen the moment he turned it on. Mateo's eyes widened at that moment.

"F*ck! I thought that there was something wrong with the Hans family's genes but I finally knew where did Zion get his genius genes from...he got it from you!"

Nathaniel didn't stop his actions as Mateo spoke and his fingers were typing hastily on the keyboard as he sneered coldly, "The Hans family are just reckless and muscle-headed." "Even so, we're much better than a scheming person like you as we're just and honorable!"

"Yea, my honorable uncle, I have found the address of the mastermind and he's right here at Royal Parkland."

Nathaniel finished his investigation within seconds.

Then, Mateo called his men the next second to block the person's way out.

"Cyrus's IQ is surprisingly low."

Mateo realized that Nathaniel was looking at him again after he said that and he felt really awkward being stared at by Nathaniel like that. "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing."

Nathaniel pursed his lips as he put his computer in the back seat before saying with a smile, "Shall we go and have a look?"

Lets go.

Mateo got in the car and the two of them arrived at Royal Parkland in a flash.

"Chief, he escaped and the room is already empty when we arrived."

Mateo's men said with embarrassment.

"Wow, this person is so alert."

"He would've been defeated numerous times if he isn't alert."

Then, Nathaniel walked in.

The person escaped in a hurry and he left many things behind as he didn't have the time to pack them up.

Nathaniel discovered the leftover instant noodles in the room and it was still warm. Also, he found a strand of long hair in the bedroom.

"Take this back and run a test on it as it could belong to the mastermind."

Mateo frowned after hearing Nathaniel's words.

"It's a woman?" "I don't think so and it could be a wig worn by a

man, so we have to test it."

Mateo rolled his eyes at Nathaniel.

"Can you look for something useful?"

"These are all clues and we can't make any conclusion before the results are out."

Nathaniel looked around the whole house but he found nothing useful and he could only ask his men to collect all fingerprints and hair in this room to compare them with their database. Then, he asked the people to search carefully a second time.

It was undeniable that the other party was an expert and everything that he used was disposable as he probably didn't have the intention to live here for long. He didn't even have laundries.

"Look for the owner and ask him who's the tenant of this house."

Mateo asked in a low voice after hearing Nathaniel's, "How do you know that this house is rented?"

"Would you use your own house as a base if you wanted to do something bad?"

Mateo was at a loss for words after hearing Nathaniel's question.

He had a feeling that he became like an idiot when he was with Nathaniel and he hated that.

However, Nathaniel didn't care about Mateo's feelings and Genevieve called him out of the blue while he was wandering around in the house.

"Genevieve, how did it go?"

Genevieve was extremely excited.

"Nathaniel, I investigated Desmond's blood with Noah for an entire day and night and we finally confirmed that his blood contains factors that allowed Mango's body to recover. Also, the precious herbs that you let Mango eat have a huge impact as well, so Mango is bound to get pregnant and it isn't just a coincidence."

Nathaniel was stunned as happiness and excitement welled up in his heart.

"That is to say, there will be nothing wrong with Mango's health anymore in the future, is it?"

"We can't say for sure but both Mango and the baby will be fine if nothing wrong happens to the child. Also, we investigated the composition of Desmond's blood and we found factors that help self- recovery and can strengthen Mango's physical health. In other words, even a few drops of his blood are very precious and you can let Mango drink it as a supplement although it may feel a little disgusting. We did experiments and found that it will not be a problem as his blood can merge with any blood type without triggering a rejection reaction."

Nathaniel almost cried with joy after hearing Genevieve's words.

He had always been really worried about Mango's condition deep down as she seemed to have been in poor health ever since she got married to him. So, he was incredibly elated to hear from Genevieve that Mango's body could recover on its own and she could even be much stronger than efor

"Thank you so much...I'll treat you guys to a meal next time."

"You don't have to that but I think you should treat Desmond to a meal instead if that's possible as it's all thanks to him. I finally understand why Bettany would consider Desmond as a living medicine and say that he's extremely valuable in the medical field. It turned out that his blood is extremely precious and worthy of research."

Nathaniel suddenly recalled what Zion said when he heard Genevieve's words.

Abyss said that something had happened to Desmond.

At this point, Mango's health and the child that she was carrying were all bestowed by Desmond. Both Nathaniel and Mango owed to Desmond, so

Nathaniel couldn't put this issue aside now that he was in trouble.

Also, there were no other clues that he could get from Cyrus and he probably wouldn't find any hints soon. At this moment, an idea sprang up in Nathaniel's mind.

"Thank you, Director Bay, let's talk again next time as there's something I need to do now."

"All right."

After the two of them hung up the phone, Nathaniel was frightened the moment he turned around as he saw Mateo standing right behind him.

"Uncle, do you always eavesdrop on others' conversation like this?"

"I just wanted to ask what happened as I heard you mentioning Mango...Did something happen to her?"

"Ptui! Ptui"

Nathaniel spat his saliva and glared at Mateo as he said, "Are you even the Mango's uncle? Do you wish that something wrong happens to her? It's Genevieve and I've been investigating the cause of Mango's pregnancy as I'm afraid that her body won't be able to take it, but now I've confirmed that her pregnancy is all normal."

"Normal? Her body..."

"It's all right now and I'll tell you more about it later. I'll leave everything here to you as I need to leave with Mango while you'll have to take care of the children during this period of time."

Mateo was stunned by Nathaniel's words.

"Where are you taking her to now that she's pregnant? Moreover, someone in the dark must be trying to harm you considering the current situation, how could you..."

"Don't worry as I've an idea."

Nathaniel patted Mateo on the shoulder and his bodyguard called him suddenly just as he was about to leave.

"Mr. Ye, Cyrus is dead."

"What?"

Nathaniel's brows furrowed.

Mateo heard it clearly too as he was right beside Nathaniel.

"What a great trick! We thought that we could find the whereabouts of the mastermind using the signal of the phone yet he unexpectedly took the advantage to kill Cyrus while we're here!"

Nathaniel's gaze darkened after hearing Mateo's words.

"What a bold and meticulous person!" "Yea, anyone else wouldn't dare to do that and the one thing that I'm really curious about is that I have also left a few men to guard against Pharrell..."

"Me too."

Then, Nathaniel and Mateo looked at each other as they had a feeling deep down that this mastermind in the dark was really smart and skillful.

"Mango and the kids will be fine at home, won't they?"

"I'll go back now."

Nathaniel rushed out of the house and drove back to the Ye's Mansion in a flash.

The Ye Family's house seemed really peaceful from outside.

However, Nathaniel felt really uneasy as he opened the door quickly and he saw the children playing in the living room with Newell accompanying them.

"Where are Zion and Mango?"

"Mrs. Ye and Zion are in the bedroom with Sisi by their side."

Nathaniel went straight upstairs after hearing Newell's words and he opened the door to the bedroom without a second thought.

However, no one was inside and the window of the bedroom was open.

Nathaniel's heart tightened at that instant as if someone stabbed him into his chest.

Where was Zion?

Where was Mango?

What about Sisi?

Didn't Newell say that they were in the bedroom? Why was there no one here?

At this instant, Nathaniel's mind went haywire.

His hands were clearly trembling uncontrollably.
