The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1523

Mango was worried when she saw the call from Carlson.

"Is there any progress with the Grey family's matter?"

"That's impossible! Carlson just left. Even if Brenson agrees, he won't be able to receive news so soon. Moreover, he might be a little wary of this matter."

Nathaniel didn't explain the whole matter, but Mango could guess.

There were not many people who knew how to create poisons, and Nathaniel and Maverick were from Longford County. This place had always been a hindrance to the higher-ups.

Nathaniel only clicked the answer button after Mango had stopped talking.

Carlson's voice could be heard.

"They may not let you get involved with matters regarding the Grey family, so you should be mentally prepared. Nathaniel, in fact, I think it's good if you don't intervene."

This was within Nathaniel and Mango's expectations. However, Mango still felt a little uncomfortable.

Walter and Deborah were her family members. Although the Grey family was involved in such a big matter, the higher- ups didn't allow them to intervene. To be honest, Mango felt a little out of place. However, after she experienced so much, she also knew that Nathaniel had to avoid arousing suspicion.

Nathaniel also knew what Mango was thinking, so he couldn't help but ask, "Who took over this matter?"

"My father has already set up an operation group, and he has also begun to convene some capable people to handle it. Don't worry. The Grey family's sea routes are very important and my father will not let them fall into the hands of others. Whether it's for public or private reasons, he will do his best to find out what happened to the Grey family. I am calling you because I am afraid that you will get into trouble."

"No, I won't."

Nathaniel was no longer young and naive. After he went through so much, he knew clearly when he should take action or suppress his feelings.

"Please help me apologize to Mango for this. However, Walter and the others will be fine. I will also send someone to join the operation team."

Carlson was still thinking about Mango and he whispered, "Carmel is one of your men, right?"

Mango and Nathaniel were stunned by his words.

Carmel had secretly been sent to the military institute of Angolla to join hands with Desmond. He was also afraid that something bad would happen to Desmond in the military institute, so he went there in advance. But Carmel disappeared after the accident happened.

Nathaniel had been looking for information about her, but he didn't expect to hear Carmel's name from Carlson.

His heart skipped a beat.

"You ..."

"Don't get me wrong. I found Carmel near the Dark Forest. At that time, she was wounded all over and on the verge of death. My men managed to save her in the end. Although I don't know what she had gone through, she has been sleeping all this time. She woke up recently and she is almost recovered. I know that you and Mango are worried about Walter. How about this, I will send Carmel and my men to join the operation team. When I get news, I will let her inform you as soon as possible."

In fact, Carlson had violated the principle of confidentiality. However, he was Master Mo, the Crown Prince. It was understandable for him to give Carmel such an order and no one would blame him as long as his father did not punish him.

Although Mango still wanted to find Walter and the others, she also knew that Carlson's arrangement was currently the best solution.

She nodded to Nathaniel.

Nathaniel then said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're brothers after all. If I could, I really would like to live with you for a while."

Nathaniel just smiled, but he did not say anything.

Mango sighed and said after he hung up, "When are you going to go carry out the retirement procedure?"

"I'll do it tomorrow."

Nathaniel was still hesitant before, but now he felt that there were too many things for him to handle and it would affect many people. Moreover, the Ye family had been developing too fast in recent years and they had an abundance of financial resources. They also had relatives with the Hans, Xiao, Song, and Grey families. It was no wonder that the higher authorities were afraid.

In this case, it was better to get rid of his relationship with them to focus on his wife and children.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Mango was very in favor od his decision.

Nathaniel shook his head.

"No, I think the higher- ups are eager for my retirement. After all, they want to dismiss me, but they have no reason to do so."

Nathaniel gave a wry smile.

"You still have us..."

Mango could not bear to see Nathaniel's discomfort and gently hugged him.

Nathaniel felt that his whole body and mind were at ease.

"Yes, I still have you guys."

They had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Nathaniel went to the military region and submitted an application for retirement. Unsurprisingly, no one stopped or asked him to stay this time, so he handled it quickly.

All the procedures were completed in less than two hours. Nathaniel was really dressed in white, and he could not help feeling much more relaxed.

"Mr. Ye, are you going to leave forever?"

The military officer asked Nathaniel reluctantly and his eyes were a little red.

Nathaniel looked at him and patted him on the shoulder while he said, "Wherever I am, you are still my soldier. If you need any help in the future, come to me at any time and I will help you without hesitation."
