The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1543

When Mango was pushed from the car by Deborah, she protected her body subconsciously. By the time she came to her senses, Deborah had driven off with the car.

Mango was very worried as she looked at the pistol in her hand.

This should be what Deborah use to defend herself, right?

Now that she had given Mango her pistol, how could she protect herself?

Mango didn't know who the driver of that Bentley was, but she knew for sure that Deborah would be in trouble if she was caught.

She didn't have the time to think everything through. She quickly dashed into a nearby church and called Nathaniel immediately.

"Nathan, this is an emergency."

Nathaniel happened to come back to the bus and he didn't see Mango around. When he heard the driver say that she went away, he heard the gunshots when he was feeling worried. He was afraid that Mango would get into trouble, so he was running in the direction of the gunshots. However, at this moment, he received a call from her.

"Mango? Are you safe?"

"I'm fine, but the same can't be said about Deborah. I saw her just now. Someone was chasing after her in a Bentley. The license plate is XXXXXX. Please, stop that car!"

Mango had no families or friends in Y Country. She knew no one, but Nathaniel did.

Isn't this Eugene in charge of the country?

Nathaniel could ask Eugene to stop the Bentley which was after Deborah.

When Nathaniel heard Deborah's name mentioned, he understood why Mango would exit the bus recklessly. Luckily, she had written down the other party's license plate number. "Alright, I'll deal with it. Where are you now? I'll come to you."

Mango sent her location to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel called Eugene as fast as he could.

"What's the matter with you? Am I so free that I have to answer your calls all day?"

Eugene had been extremely busy all morning. When he saw Nathaniel's call, he was so angry he felt like smashing his phone to the ground. Nathaniel, however, had no time to bicker with him. He said quickly, "Hurry up, please stop a car for me. It's a Bentley with plate number XXXXX. I'm currently at Shoreline Street." "Okay."

Nathaniel sounded urgent. Eugene knew that he would not try to stop a car for no reason. Something had to have happened.

Eugene gave the orders swiftly. Meanwhile, Nathaniel had already arrived at Mango's location.

"Hi, Mango."

"Over here."

Mango exited the church directly. She had skinned knees. There was also a trace of blood on her arms. This made Nathaniel frown in displeasure. "We need to get a car."

Nathaniel quickly bought a car from a person nearby. He chose a BMW for its speed and horsepower. It had barely met his standards.

Since he offered a price that was 10,000 dollars higher than the market price, the buyer sold it to him happily.

Then he went to a nearby pharmacy and bought some medicine for Mango.

Mango didn't care about her wounds at all. Instead, she said in an anxious voice, "We've wasted too much time here. Deborah asked us to save Walter. This is the address." Only then did Mango remember the note Deborah gave her earlier.

Nathaniel took the note and whispered in a low voice, "Even if you want to save him, you need to treat your wound properly first. Otherwise, it will turn into an infection. You should take care of yourself before you help others."

"But..."

"I know you want to save them as soon as possible. I also know that they're in great danger. But Mango, I'm worried about you. You're not allowed to go anywhere before your wound is treated." Nathaniel was a little enraged so his tone was quite harsh. However, Mango did not blame him for it.

This was how he was.

She watched as he anxiously unbuttoned her sleeve and collar. Sweat was forming on his forehead, indicating that he was indeed worried about her.

All of a sudden, Mango said in a low voice, "I knew that I need to take care of myself. I brought the gun that you gave to me when I chased after Deborah. Who would have thought that she would give me her gun as well? This might be the last thing she could use to protect herself.

Furthermore, we don't even know what exactly happened to them, which is why I..."

"I understand why you acted the way you did. I'm not blaming you. I just feel sad that you're injured."

Nathaniel sighed as he took care of Mango's wounds. After that, he drove towards the address Mango had given him.

However, Mango and Nathaniel were both quiet while in the car.

The route was leading to Marcelo's house.

Could it be possible that after so many twists and turns, they would have to return to Marcelo again?

In the end, the car stopped in the alley behind Marcelo's house.

Mango and Nathaniel took a look at each other. At this moment, Eugene happened to call Nathaniel too.

"The car has stopped. The driver escaped and hurt two policemen. But we're currently investigating the owner of the car. Who on earth is that?"

Nathaniel could not explain too much to Eugene because he didn't know much as well. He could only say, "I will explain it to you later. Help me find someone. I will send you the photo. See if you can find this person."

Then Nathaniel sent Deborah's photo to Eugene. Eugene quickly continue with his investigation while Nathaniel and Mango got out of the car.

Marcelo and his family were prohibited from heading out after Eugene gave the orders. At this moment, all of them were at home. In the back alley, Mango could hear Marcelo cursing as Martina comforted him Nathaniel had thought that he could enjoy his vacation and deal with Marcelo afterward, as per Carlson's order. Unexpectedly, Mango ran into Deborah along the way. Besides, this place was a stone's throw away from the place Walter was locked up. Therefore, their vacation was fated to be disrupted.

Mango heaved a sigh. Nathaniel held her hand and whispered, "There are no footsteps here. I think that we're too late."

"That can't be true, can it? Let's go in and have a look."

"Alright."

They entered the house one after the other.

The houses were small and narrow because this was a slum area. The door was not very sturdy as well. Now the door was half-closed and nobody knew what was going on inside. Nathaniel pulled Mango behind him before he gently pushed the door open. It was quiet inside.

They both tensed up as they didn't know what to expect.

Just in case, Mango loaded her gun. She was ready to attack at any time.

There were a lot of plastic bags and takeout boxes in the courtyard. They were laying in heaps there. It seemed that many people had either lived here, or several people had lived here for a long time. Mango's eyes turned gloomy a little.

It had been a long time since Walter made the call last time. Was he captured since then?

Had he been locked up here all this while?

But what about Deborah?

One question after another flickered through Mango's mind. However, she couldn't reach a conclusion.

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly. He took Mango's hand and walked past the takeout boxes. They entered the building gradually.

The door inside was also not locked.

After Nathaniel opened the door, Mango quickly lifted her pistol and went in, but there was no one inside.

This was a house with four-bedroom. There were several doors in the middle. There was no decoration or furniture in it. It was empty. Obviously, no one was staying here.

When Mango saw that the rooms were empty, her heart sank to her stomach.

Sure enough, they were here too late.

Perhaps from the moment when Deborah fled, the people here had already made their escape. Right now, Mango didn't know where they had taken Walter.

Mango was crestfallen. Meanwhile, Nathaniel went to a wider room. He found some bloodstains here. Although it was dark in color and seemed pretty dry, there was a lot of it. This indicated that Walter was likely injured.

Few people could harm Walter since he was a good fighter. Besides, he would try his best to send some messages to Nathaniel to ask for help. However, they hadn't received any news from Walter these days Was the other party so powerful?

Or did something bad happened to Walter?

As soon as Nathaniel thought of this possibility, he subconsciously looked towards Mango. He was afraid that Mango would dwell on it too much when she saw the bloodstain, so he quickly stood up and said, "Let's ask Marcelo. This place isn't far from their house. Maybe he'll know something." Mango nodded as she followed Nathaniel out of the house. However, a hint of worry flickered across her eyes.

She saw the dried bloodstains just now. She didn't say a thing about it because she saw the fleeting concern in Nathaniel's eyes. However, she had naturally reached the same conclusion as him. When they reached the entrance of Marcelo's house, a man stopped them.

Nathaniel took out a ring directly. The other party immediately treated him respectfully.

"Mr. Ye, I didn't know it was you."

"I'm going in. Keep an eye on this place. No one is allowed to come in."

Nathaniel said in a cold tone.

"Yes, sir."

Mango followed Nathaniel into the house. She asked in surprise, "Where did you get the ring?"

"Eugene gave it to us. He gave one to each of us before he went back to his country. Everyone's ring is different in color. He said that we could use this ring in Y Country in the future. Any men of his will listen to our command."

Nathaniel didn't hide this from Mango. Although this was a secret between the four of them, Mango was his wife. It wasn't like he should keep everything from her.

Mango felt a little envious.

The four of them were really close to each other. However, she was grateful that Eugene's men were helping her now.

The duo walked into the house. They saw that the members of the Li family were being confined in the same room like livestock. It was so crowded that Mango couldn't even enter the room. Marcelo was furious when he spotted Nathaniel.

"I knew it was you! D*mn it! Where did you take Tessa and that little b*stard? Moreover, you're keeping my family here. Who exactly are you? What do you want?"

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as he kicked Marcelo on the shoulder directly.

Marcelo had been in poor health for years. After being kicked by Nathaniel, he took several steps back and bumped into the wall. He grimaced as he gnashed his teeth in pain.

Martina saw that her son was injured again. She couldn't help but walk forward and attempt to stop Nathaniel. "How dare you hit my son? Help, help! There's a thug here! Tessa's lover is going to kill my whole family." She shouted at the top of her lungs. Mango's lips started to twitch involuntarily when she heard her words. Wasn't this the scene of the poor people, who were complaining and blaming others for no reason, in a drama? However, Martina used to be a noble lady from a wealthy family. Was it really nice of her to be acting like an old bat now?

Nathaniel couldn't stand it as well. He had always been straightforward when dealing with such a person. "Guards, tie her up and stuff her mouth with something. If I hear any words from her again, I will skin Marcelo alive."
