The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Ms. Ye, something has come up. I can't go over there for the time being."

As soon as Angela finished her words, she felt that a murderous gaze on her immediately. She was so scared that her whole body shook.

Wisdom turned his head around abruptly as he said coldly, "Even if it is the end of the world today, you have to let me examine your wounds before you leave. Otherwise, my sister will be upset all day long." The corner of Angela's mouth twitched once more because of his words.

This guy was a typical brother who was very protective of his sister.

She felt that she could not afford to offend either of the two children in front of her.

"I..."

"Hurry up!"

After saying that, Wisdom turned around and left.

Rita looked at Angela with a grin. It was a particularly friendly grin, but it made the latter's hair stand on end.

"Alright alright, I'll go now. Are you happy now?" Angela handed her phone to a subordinate and whispered, "Go back and keep an eye on it. Don't get into trouble. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, ma'am."

The other party left in a hurry.

Angela followed Rita and the others into a room. Wisdom asked her to lie in the bed.

He gave her a check-up before he said lightly, "All of the wounds are external injuries, so your condition isn't life threatening. You will be fine after applying some ointment. This is the cream for relieving your pain. Apply it three times a day for three days. That's enough for your wounds to heal."

After saying that, he threw a bottle at Angela. Then he turned to Rita with a gentle look on his face.

"Rita, are you pooped? Would you like to have some rest? Perhaps it's better if you don't follow me around. Just stay at home with mom."

"That's not I want. Besides, I don't think mom will be at home anyway. I'm going to get changed now. Wisdom, bear with me please."

After saying that, she turned around and trotted away.

Angela was relieved when she saw the former leave.

She was under immense pressure when the young troublemaker was here.

However, Wisdom said in disdain, "You seem to dislike my sister."

"No, of course not. Ms. Ye is so cute, how can I not like her?"

Angela forced herself to say this as she put on a bright smile.

However, Wisdom replied coldly, "According to psychology, when a person lies, they will move subconsciously to hide their true thoughts. You were twisting the corners of your clothes earlier."

As soon as Wisdom finished her sentence, Angela could no longer maintain the smile on her face.

What kind of absurd talents were there in the Ye family?

Putting aside the fact that a five-year-old girl was a sniper, the boy in front of her seemed to be really young. Despite that, he understood psychology, didn't he?

Angela felt that she was having an existential crisis.

"Well, you can leave now if there's nothing else. I'm going to change my clothes."

This was an order for her to leave.

Rita wasn't here, so Wisdom didn't even bother to be polite.

He was actually in a really bad mood.

After all, he was knocked unconscious by his mother when they were in danger.

"Ugh."

This was too embarrassing.

At the thought of this, Wisdom's face became even gloomier.

Of course, Angela did not dare to stay around any longer. She got up hurriedly and excused herself.

On the other hand, Nathaniel went to the cave.

Several mercenaries there were guarded by the bodyguards of the Ye family. They were being interrogated. But obviously, they were too stubborn to let anything slip.

When the bodyguards saw Nathaniel, they said in a low voice, "Mr. Ye, they are pretty tough."

"It doesn't matter if they are tough. I'm tougher. Guards, get me a sharp pincer. I have heard that humans will not die from their ribs being ripped from their chest. But I don't know if it hurts like hell. Although I'm not a doctor, I can still carry out the procedure."

Nathaniel sat in front of the mercenaries leisurely as he looked at them. They seemed determined to keep their mouths shut. His malicious smile sent a chill down their spine.

Two of the mercenaries couldn't help but gulp in fear.

Removing the ribs from a person's body was not just painful. In fact, it was extremely painful and could even lead to death.

Nathaniel smiled evilly as if he had read their minds. He said, "It doesn't matter if one or two of you are killed in the process. We have caught so many of you anyway. I don't believe that not even one of you car survive till the end. Even if all of you are dead, it doesn't matter. Once there's a first attack, a second attack is almost warranted. If we fail this time, we can try it again next time. I'm not in a hurry."

The two men broke down after hearing his ruthless words.

"No, please don't do this to us. Well talk."

"Shut the hell up!"

The other mercenaries wanted to stop the duo, but Nathaniel shot them a look. Someone quickly covered their mouths and beat them to a pulp.

The two mercenaries trembled before they said, "We don't know who our employer is. We're just told to kill you at any cost." "Kill me, huh? So I'm the target, right?"

Nathaniel was frowning slightly.

"Yes, the order was to kill you straightaway."

"Who gave the order?"

The two mercenaries were a little crestfallen when they heard Nathaniel's words.

"We honestly have no idea. The other party only contacted our boss through the phone. We only took up the task because the pay was good."

"How much did they offer for my life?"

"Ten million, in dollars."

Nathaniel broke into laugher instead after the mercenaries finished their sentence cautiously,.

"I didn't expect my life to be quite valuable."

Then he stood up and walked outside.

"Kill them. We won't get any useful information from them anymore."

After Nathaniel said that coldly, a chorus of wails resounded behind him. Then peaceful silence resumed.

The air outside was quite refreshing, but Nathaniel felt a little uneasy.

A lot of people wanted him dead, but only a few knew where he was. Who would the mastermind be?

Maverick's name popped up in his mind, but he quickly suppressed the thought.

The sun had risen above the horizon. It would be a little too late if they didn't depart now.

Nathaniel returned to his bedroom once again. Mango had already changed into her clothes while she was waiting for him.

"Why don't you get more rest on the bed?"

Nathaniel was calm when he spotted Mango.

Mango smiled as she said, "I've had enough rest. Where are the children?"

"They should be in their room now. I'll get them."

"I_et's go together."

Mango stood up and took Nathaniel's arm.

Nathaniel caught a whiff of her fragrance. This caused him to feel a little distracted. However, he adjusted his mood since he remembered what they were supposed to do today. Then he walked outside the room with Mango wearing a smile.

Wisdom and Rita were already waiting for them in the living room.

Rita was wearing a white dress with her hair in two braids. She looked strikingly beautiful, as if she was a child actor.

Wisdom was wearing a black suit while looking solemn in the face.

"Are you feeling better, Wisdom?"

Wisdom felt a little awkward because of her sweet smile.

"Mom, you're not allowed to render me unconscious if such a situation arises next time."

"Hey, are you angry, Wisdom?"

Mango said teasingly.

If it were to happen again, she would still do the same thing.

Wisdom replied in embarrassment, "No, I'm... I'm just..."

He couldn't tell her the reason after stuttering for a long time.

"Well, it's getting late. We should leave."

Nathaniel spoke in time, interrupting the awkward situation. Wisdom looked at him gratefully before he quickly followed the group outside.

As he passed by Nathaniel, he whispered, "Dad, I've made up my mind. I give up on the quota. Please give it to Zion or Rita."

"Are you sure about that?"

Nathaniel was a little surprised, but he had been anticipating this answer.

Wisdom nodded while saying, "I'm certain. In fact, I know it well. I'll let go of this quota. I can be a civilian doctor if I don't become a military doctor anyway. As long as I have excellent medical skills, I can showcase my talent anywhere."

"Oh, you little rascal!"

Nathaniel didn't continue his sentence, but his words seemed meaningful.

Wisdom didn't understand what he meant, but he felt much more comfortable and cheerful now.

After getting into the car, the group went to the graveyard where Nick was buried.

Nathaniel had already ordered his men to build a cemetery here. He bought the entire piece of land, so this was the private cemetery of the Ye family.

Wisdom felt down as he arrived at the place. However, there was no other emotion aside from sadness.

He only remembered spending time with Nick for a few months, but that man was not his real father.

Therefore, he did not know what kind of emotions he should express when he thought of this father of his.

Nathaniel held Wisdom's hand as they walked over.

Nick still looked youthful in the photo. There was a surge of sorrow in Wisdom's heart as soon as he saw the former in a police uniform. His eyes turned red in an instant.

"Dad."

Wisdom's voice was so low that no one could hear him clearly.

Nathaniel looked at the tombstone in front of him. A mixture of complex emotions was brewing in his heart.

"Nick, I'm here to visit you with Wisdom. I don't know how you are doing in heaven, but the children and I are all doing well. Don't worry about us."

Mango stood beside him as she remained silent.

She looked at the pines and cypress trees in the surroundings, then at the overall environment. It was a good land with a nice scenary. The place was surrounded by mountains with a river at the front. "Rita, let me bring you around for a walk."

Mango knew that Nathaniel and Wisdom would definitely want to talk to Nick badly, so she went away with Rita directly.

"Okay."

Rita obediently reached out her delicate hand to Mango before she followed her to another spot by climbing the stairs.

"Mom, if my uncle is still alive, what would he be like?"

Rita raised her head and looked at Mango with her limpid eyes as she asked.

Mango froze momentarily before replying, "I have no idea either. If only we can predict the future and 'what ifs', right?"

Rita nodded as she said in a low voice, "I think dad is really sad. Uncle has passed away and aunt is acting in that manner. Grandpa and grandma are all gone, so we are the only ones he has. Mom, I will take good care of dad in the future. Please don't be jealous, alright?"

Mango went speechless instantly.

"Silly girl, of course, I won't be jealous. You are our baby girl. We hope that you can live a happy life. But my little princess has already begun to hide things from me, don't you?"

Rita was instantly surprised, but it was only for a split second. Then, she smiled while saying, "Mom, let's not be too straightforward. We can still be the perfect mother and daughter."

"Well, even if I don't blow your cover, does that mean you can do it on purpose?"

Mango twisted her words on purpose.

Rita was instantly displeased.

"Mom, why are you doing this?" "What did I do?"

The mother and daughter bantered with each other.

All of a sudden, Rita noticed that there seemed to be a flash in the distant.

She had learned how to use a sniper rifle before, so she was especially observant of any types of reflective light. Almost at the same time, she shoved Mango aside and pounced onto her body.

"Argh!"

Mango was startled as she fell to the ground. At the same time, Rita made a lunge to the side as a bullet passed above her head...
