The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1149

Mango had always paid attention to the identity of her undercover agent. However, when she heard Lebanon's words, she couldn't help but be concerned.

On the other hand, Lebanon said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Just thought I'll ask you about it. If you want him to make it out alive, I'll watch out for him for your sake. If you don't, I'll take care of him when it's necessary. I don't want him to get you into trouble."

"No! Please don't do that! I wish for his safety. Lebanon, he is my friend."

Mango spoke hastily.

Lebanon did not pay much attention and agreed casually. Then, the duo chatted for a while before he ended the call.

After that, Mango frowned and found a number on her phone.

This was the only means of contact between her and the undercover agent.

Mango looked through the WhatsApp chat history and scrolled through the contents of her chat with Henry.

"I want to target Bernard, but almost no one can get close to him. Do you have any good ideas?"

This was what Mango told Henry a long time ago.

"HI do it. I don't know the truth behind my sister's death. Besides, she liked Walter, and Walter liked you. So, because of this, I think that her death has nothing to do with you. However, now that I'm in such a position, people would think that they can persuade me to go against you easily to get revenge for my sister. Thus, I'm the best candidate for this job."

Henry replied straightaway.

"No, you can't! Bernard is ruthless. Most importantly, he is meticulous. If you make a tiny mistake, that will expose your identity and kill you! No! I can't allow anything to happen to you. Besides, there are too few descendants from Longford County left. Even if you want to do some good deeds by helping me out, I won't let you go!"

Mango refused him sternly.

However, Henry said in a low voice, "Madam, don't be so pedantic. You know that I'm the best person for this, don't you? Once a major rift happens between us, and once Bernard sees that I show signs of betraying you, he won't let this opportunity slide! Therefore, it'll be easy for me to join Bernard and spy on his actions. If you break my limbs, it'll be more convincing too! Madam, you shouldn't hesitate. Bernard hurt my sister, and now, he's creating so much trouble for you too! As the captain of the Dark Night Empire and the younger brother of Novalee, I have to take responsibility for this."

"But, if I really break your limbs, how are you going to survive in the future?"

Mango was scared once she thought about this.

On the other hand, Henry replied indifferently, "Well, I'm sure that you'll take care of me in the future, right? Besides, I'm not that unlucky. I'm sure that my limbs can recover if I receive proper treatment." "No! I still think that this plan is out of the question!"

After that, their conversation had ended. However, Mango couldn't help but recall this incident repeatedly.

Actually, she didn't know that Henry was on Bernard's side when Nathaniel had brought her over to meet him.

Since both of them had decided to do this mission, Henry started showing how eager he was to find out the truth behind Novalee's death. Then, he started using his own authority to investigate this incident. Sure enough, Bernard did not let go of this opportunity to drive a wedge between Henry and Mango. Soon, he began to send his men to contact Henry.

Every time Bernard's men came into contact with Henry, the latter would tell Mango all about it. Therefore, she was even more conflicted and upset because of this.

When Henry went to Longford County to look for the Hikasa Manual, Mango knew that the time had come. However, she did not expect that she would run into Henry at the borders of Angolla. Besides, the Baxter Alliance had discovered their relationship too! Therefore, this only made their whole act more believable.

Mango still remembered the time she sent someone to break the tendons in Henry's arms and legs. Her palms were trembling violently, but she suppressed her movement forcefully.

After that, she had asked her men to send Henry to the hospital for treatment in time. Outsiders would probably think that she was afraid that Henry would die, so she wanted to spare him. However, only she knew that she was worried that Henry would become crippled because of that beating.

Fortunately, Bernard knew that Henry was talented, so he didn't want Henry to end up crippled. Thus, once Mango's men sent Henry to the hospital, Bernard sent his men to care for Henry secretly. When Mango received the news, she had mixed feelings. However, she started tearing up instead.

Henry had sacrificed a lot for her because of this. If she still could not take Bernard down, how could she answer him?

At this thought, Mango was upset.

After all, spying on Bernard was already a dangerous task. However, now, Henry still had to find ways to send insider information to Mango secretly. This made his mission even more perilous as he could be exposed.

Didn't Lebanon ask whether Mango wanted to leave Henry alive?

How could Mango not ensure his survival?

In fact, she would've taken Henry's place right now if she could!

When Mango thought about this, she was upset. However, a notification suddenly appeared from her phone as Newell had sent her a text.

"Mango, we didn't find any suspicious about Godson after doing a background check on him. He has nothing to do with Bernard. However, both his son and a rich kid were fighting over a woman, so he smashed the rich kid's head because he was too furious. Now, the rich kid wants to kill him. Therefore, Godson sent his son out of the country to save him, but he didn't have enough money. That's why Bernard's men found him, and He promised to help them out. But, he did say that he didn't know that there was a time bomb in such a tiny chip." Mango pause for a moment after hearing Newell's words.

If this was true, Godson was not one of Bernard's men. In fact, Bernard had only managed to manipulate Godson because the latter lacked money. "A tiny chip?"

Mango immediately caught onto what Newell wanted to point out in his sentence.

"Yes, a tiny chip. He stuck the chip on my body secretly when he was passing me the car code reader, so I didn't notice at all. Once I entered the garage, the chip automatically sensed your car and stuck to it like a magnet. Only then did the rest of the events unfold."

Newell explained hastily.

Mango's eyebrows furrowed slightly when she heard this.

"So someone tampered with my car a long time ago? Although they didn't put the time bomb directly at that time, that incident must have been related to this as well. This was because it allowed the computer and the chip to locate my car accurately. Therefore, if someone told me that this hadn't been set up beforehand, I wouldn't believe it!"

Newell frowned as well when he heard her words.

In this case, it was really hard to find out who the mastermind behind this incident was.

This was because the surveillance system of the Ye's Mansion could not capture what others did after they entered the garage. However, not many servants could enter the garage to service the car. In fact, only four of them were allowed to do so.

At this thought, Newell said hurriedly, "I'll send my men to monitor all four of the servants then. If one of them makes a move, we'll be able to find out in time."

"Yes, that's a good idea."

After that, Mango and Newell exchanged a few more words before she hung up.

Mango felt confused as she had been bombarded with so much unexpected news.

Then, she rubbed her temples and intended to sleep for a while.

After all, she didn't know when Nathaniel and Zion would be back, but she was already exhausted from today's events.

At this thought, Mango walked out from the balcony and laid down on the bed. Soon, she was fast asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she woke up because she heard someone talking downstairs even though the conversation was not that loud.

Then, she glanced at the time at once, only to realise that she had only slept for about half an hour.

Well, it appeared that she couldn't even sleep well when Nathaniel and Zion were not around.

Therefore, Mango decided to wake up and wash her face. When she opened the door, she saw Mateo bringing Rita with him as they walked in her direction. Thus, she couldn't help but feel a bit upbeat. "Rita, you're back!"

"Mommy, you look terrible!"

Rita took a glance at Mango as she said this.

Once Rita had finished her words, everyone focused their gaze on Mango.

"She's right, you don't look too well. What's wrong? Did you not sleep well? Or were you injured in the explosion?"

Mateo became nervous as soon as he thought of this possibility.

However, Mango hurriedly shook her head while saying, "I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well. Hmm? Have you heard about the explosion already? That was quick!"

"The explosion caused such a ruckus! So, how would I not know about it?"

After that, Mateo looked at Mango reproachingly and said, "You should be more cautious recently. Don't hang out everywhere like last time."

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind."

Mango agreed hastily.

Meanwhile, Rita said that she was sleepy and wanted to go back to her room for a nap, so Toby took her away.

Thus, Brantley left Mango and Mateo alone in the living room.

Mateo waited until the living room was empty before he whispered, "Are you really alright?"

"No, I'm not. Wait, are you trying to tell me that you want to see me get hurt?"

Mango glared at Mateo childishly as she said so.

When Mateo heard her sarcastic words, he felt embarrassed, so he rubbed his nose and said, "I'm just worried about you!"

"Thank you for your concern then, uncle."

Mango replied with a grin.

"Uncle, you aren't busy, right? I'll make you a pot of tea."

Mango asked and was about to prepare a pot of tea, but Mateo stopped her immediately.

"Nah, I don't have time to enjoy tea with you. Well, to be honest, I might be busier at the end of this year."

"Why? Is it because of the explosion case?"

Mango looked at Mateo with a baffled expression as she questioned this.

However, Mateo shook his head before he said, "No, I'm going to take over the position and work of Morgan."

"What?"

Mango knew who Morgan was. Therefore, she knew that Mateo had the qualifications to take over Morgan's position, but why did the change happen so abruptly?

When Mateo saw the surprised expression on her face, he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you know that something happened to Morgan?"

"Huh? What on earth happened?"

Mango asked hastily after hearing what Mateo had said.

Then, Mateo said softly, "I won't tell you about the exact incident. It's a military secret, but the army officials have suspended him and stopped paying his salary. Right now, he is undergoing a military investigation.

"Military investigation? Why does this sound so serious? After all, he was still here when I came back from the martyr's cemetery."

Mango exclaimed as she found the news a little hard to swallow.

Then, Mateo let out a sigh and replied, "He was still in the observation period, and the martyr's cemetery was under his jurisdiction. Since such a huge explosion had occurred, someone had to take be responsible for it. Nathaniel wanted to take up the responsibility, but the superiors suspended Morgan directly and took him with them. Now the Eaves family is in a mess. Bjorn and Lonnie are still allowed to serve the army, but the superiors persuaded them to stay at home for further investigation. Meanwhile, Mrs. Eaves hasn't said anything at all. She doesn't request to see Morgan, but she is only putting up a strong front."

Mango was worried sick upon hearing Mateo's words.

After all, she couldn't believe that the Eaves family had gotten into so much trouble because of the explosion that had happened to her car. Therefore, she couldn't help but think that their enemies had been trying to kill two birds with one stone because of this.

Everyone knew that the four most influential young men of Ocean City were on good terms with each other. Now that they had defeated Morgan, Nathaniel no longer had anyone to support him in the army. At this thought, Mango raised her head abruptly and asked, "Has Nathan's retirement been approved yet?"

"Nope, because Morgan hasn't signed the document yet. He has been keeping it for a long time. But now that Morgan has been suspended, I think that their superiors will approve his retirement soon. Even if Nathaniel wants to withdraw his application now, it is too late."

There was a hidden meaning behind Mateo's words. Therefore, Mango instantly sensed that Mateo's tone has changed.
