When it came to offending someone, it seemed that ever since Mango came back, she only had contact with one woman, and that woman was obviously Macy!
Although he didn't want to believe this might have something to do with Macy, Nathaniel still said to Thomas who was on the beside, "Go and find out where Macy was when Zion was missing. Also, what did Macy do after she returned to the Cho family during this period? What did her mother Susie do? I want detailed information."
Mango's eyes widened when she heard Nathaniel's words.
"Are you saying that all of this has something to do with Macy?"
"I'm just guessing. I hope it's not her."
Nathaniel's words made Mango feel more or less uncomfortable.
"What if it's her?"
She remembered the decision Nathaniel had made while dealing with her and Macy five years ago and immediately questioned him.
Mango's question was a bit sharp.
Nathaniel looked at her and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
He was well aware of all her uneasiness and worry. "If she did it, I would never tolerate her. Mango, since she is Wisdom's mother and my brother's woman, for most of the time, I will turn a blind eye to her for my brother's sake. But I will never tolerate her for this! Zion is our son, I won't let anyone hurt him, not even for Macy! I owe it to Nick, and I only take care of Macy because of Nick. If Macy doesn't understand the situation and did something to Zion,
I will definitely punish her by myself."
Nathaniel said it clearly and firmly. His protective eyes suddenly cleared off the clouds in Mango's mind.
"Nathan, I'm scared! I'm really scared!"
Mango threw herself into his arms.
She could believe him, could she?
After all, Zion was the child of the two of them.
Nathaniel hugged Mango tightly.
He never thought himself to be this helpless one day, but at this moment, he actually felt a little at a loss.
He was the heaven of Ocean City, the master of Ocean City, but he turned out to lose his own son in his own territory.
Nathaniel could not forgive himself for this.
Thomas came back soon with the investigation result.
"Mr. Ye, Macy has been reflecting on herself at home these days. During this period, she went to do facial in the beauty salon once, and then she never went out again. I went to check it out. That beauty salon was the one she goes to all the time. There was nothing special about that place. Everything was normal."
"What about Susie?"
"Susie has been out frequently recently. She attended several parties from the upper class, but there was nothing abnormal. I have checked all the people she had contact with, and there was no problem."
Thomas' answer made Nathaniel frown again.
If everything was fine, then what was the problem?
He couldn't wait any longer, so he said in a low voice, "Look into all the slums in Ocean City and check all the business in the grey area!"
Thomas was somewhat hesitant.
"Mr. Ye, this will offend a lot of people."
"Go ahead and offend them. Why do I need to be afraid of those big shots while the young master of Ye Family has gone missing?"
Nathaniel naturally knew what the consequence would be by doing so.
Seeing that Nathaniel had already made up his mind, Thomas quickly nodded and then went to handle it.
Soon, the business in the grey area throughout the whole Ocean City was affected.
All the channels and industries were ordered to be checked and raided. For a moment, the people in Ocean City were turned upside down.
In a remote corner in Ocean City, Sisi looked at Zion who was still in a coma and said to the man next to her, "Nathaniel is not someone you can mess up with. You actually kidnapped the son of the woman he cares about the most. Don't you want to live?"
"Whether we can live or not depends on how we play this game. Sisi, we can't keep this brat with us. We have to get rid of him as soon as possible."
The man's voice was kept very low, as if he was afraid of being heard. He was wearing a hoodie, and that big hood covered his head.
Sisi said with some annoyance, "How to get rid of him? Now everyone knows that Nathaniel is investigating, and they are all scared to death. Who is willing to take over? Originally, we agreed to take this kid out through the waterway and sell him in Southeast Asia. Now all the ports are being guarded by the Hans family, so we have no chance at all. Do you want to contact Madam Hans again?"
"Do you want me to die? How can I contact the Hans family now? do you think Nathaniel is a fool?"
The man was obviously a little angry.
Sisi was also angry.
"Nathaniel is not a fool. You are! You made yourself like this for a woman, and now you have cornered yourself and there's no return. Does that woman care about your life?"
"Enough! If you don't want to help me, you can go back. I'll do this on my own from now on!"
The man turned his head angrily. Obviously, he was furious.
Sisi's tears burst out in an instant.
"I don't want to help you? I've been in Ye Family for so many years, and finally I made it to my current position. For you, I gave up everything and became the enemy of the entire Ye Family. Now how can you say that I don't want to help you? Newell! Have you lost your conscience?"
