The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1815

"What do you mean?"

Wisdom made every effort to evade Zion's gaze. Even though he had always been strong and calm, anyone could tell that he was nervous just by how he kept drinking water regularly.

Zion approached Wisdom slowly. He stared at Wisdom and grabbed the cup from him. Then, he looked Wisdom in the eyes and questioned, "What were you thinking when you did that? Are you familiar with the thief of the kidney source?"

"Yes."

Wisdom finally looked at Zion.

His eyes were sad and apologetic, but he didn't try to hide it any longer.

"Why? Give me a reason."

He believe that Wisdom was not a terrorist, and he was certain that Wisdom would never assist others in harming his own family.

Wisdom was his older sibling. He had accomplished a great deal for his younger siblings, as well as for Zion over the years. Thus, Zion knew Wisdom like the back of his hand.

After all, no one could keep up a perfect disguise for this long. Wisdom was part of the Ye family, and everyone could tell how affectionate he was towards the members of the Ye family. In fact, Zion would be the first to dismiss claims that Wisdom collaborated with terrorists if they arose. However, he was in dire need of an explanation right now.

Wisdom adjusted his glasses and muttered softly, "I owe her my life, and I had to repay her. I know I shouldn't involve you and Evangeline in this issue. However, she insisted on my help, so I couldn't do anything."

Zion didn't say anything else. He put the cup on the table and got up to leave.

Wisdom suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Zion, you can scold me or hit me. What are you trying to tell me by not saying anything?" "Nothing. I'm going to see Evangeline."

Zion didn't turn around or even look behind. Instead, he just went out like that. However, if someone looked at him carefully, they could tell that he was quivering.

Wisdom wanted to chase after him. However, he realised that was in no position to do so.

Zion walked out of Wisdom's office and leaned against the corridor wall. He immediately felt as if he had lost all of his strength. He would have collapsed in front of Wisdom if he hadn't held on to his will just now.

He couldn't accept nor face this truth!

What should he say once he met Evangeline?

Was he supposed to tell her that the kidney had been stolen? Furthermore, her brother was one of the accomplices!

Zion was the one who decided to get Evangeline the transplant operation. He even planned to acquire kidney resources from the Dark Mantle to help her recover. He did his best to plot everything, but he did not anticipate this outcome.

His mind was completely messed up, and he had mixed emotions. He slid onto the chair and stared blankly in one direction, yet he was clutching a strand of long hair in his palm.

He had discovered it on Wisdom's shoulder and took it with him.

What was the identity of the other party? He was hoping to prove it with this strand of hair, but he was nervous.

He had no idea what he was terrified of. However, it made him nervous and uneasy.

He gathered his strength after sitting outside for a long time. Then, he returned to his room with the strand of hair in his hand.

He actually had a lot of equipment here because of his job.

He fiddled with the strand of hair for some time before the DNA sequence was generated. He double- checked the corresponding DNA against the computer data and was taken aback when he saw the information being displayed.

It turned out that the other party was Trevor Malthus' daughter, Maren Malthus.

Zion couldn't help but recall the last mission in which he had inadvertently hurt the hostage.

Someone had touched his gun at the time. Moreover, he and Maren's brother, Creed Malthus, were in the same team.

Creed has previously eluded Zion's suspicions. After all, they had been living together for so long. Also, they had gone through all of life's ups and downs. They were comrades who were willing to put their lives on the line for each other on the battlefield. But how could something like this occur?

But now that Maren had stolen the kidney, Zion couldn't help but overthink everything.

He frowned slightly.
