The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 234

"Someone is following us."

Mango’s voice was soft and steady, but it still made Thomas’ hand tremble.

It was impossible for the men who followed them to be Nathaniel's men. Instead, it was very likely to be Abyss1 people.

Cold sweat began to form on Thomas1 forehead.

"Madam, if something happens, I’ll lure them away while you drive away in another car."

Mango’s expression was serious.

"Can you see who are they?"

“I can’t see them clearly, but it’s definitely not our people."

Then, Thomas started to speed up.

In the car, all of them started to become rather nervous.

In the end, Mango did not want to trouble everyone, so she whispered to them, "Okay, I want you guys to drive away after I get off the car over there."

"Madam, you can’t!"

"Listen to me, I’ll make my own way to the plane once you just give me the location. If not, I’ll find another way to get out of here because we have to avoid Abyss' men at all costs. Right now, Abyss knows that he can use me to threaten Nathaniel. As long as I' m not captured, he can’t threaten Nathaniel. Oh right, please try your best to help Nathaniel with the incident at the construction site. Speaking of the deceased's family, don’t just investigate their close connections, you have to check whether or not their relatives desperately need money. That could be a turning point for the case."

Mango's words enlightened Thomas instantly.

"Oh man, why didn't I think of that?"

"You'll have to get rid of them first, then drive slower as you approach the corner in front. Once we’ re there, I'll jump out of the car."

Mango's bold decision almost scared Thomas out of his wits.

"Madam, what the hell are you talking about? Jumping out of the car is very dangerous!"

"To be honest, it's better than dying. If Abyss' men really capture me, I’m as good as dead.”

Thomas was unable to ignore the determined gleam in Mango's eyes.

So, this was the authority of Madam in the Ye Family!

This was a woman worthy of Mr. Ye!

Although Thomas did not really agree with Mango's idea, it seemed like there was no other solution.

"Madam, if you do this, Mr. Ye will kill me."

Thomas felt very despondent.

However, Mango cracked one of her rare smiles as she said. "Don’t worry, he won’t hurt you because you’re just as important to him as I am.” Mango's words warmed Thomas's heart.

In fact, Nathaniel regarded Thomas as his most trusted subordinate. No matter what happened in the Ye Family, Thomas was always by Nathaniel's side and he was entrusted with everything. So, Thomas’ spirits were lifted when he heard Mango's words.

"Madam, do take care of yourself. Once you're safe, please remember to call me or Mr. Ye. Right now, we can’t get to the private jet so we have to find another way out of here."

At this point, Thomas could see that Abyss was attempting every trick in the book to take Mango away from them. Furthermore, Abyss' recklessness was obvious for all to see.

Mango nodded upon hearing that.

As the car approached the divider near the corner, Thomas drove the car close to the curb and he slowly reduced the speed of the car.

"Madam, please be careful."

"Flurry up and leave now!"

Then, Mango opened the car door and she looked at the curb outside. To be frank, she was rather afraid but when she thought of the situation that Nathaniel and she were in, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes before she jumped out.

"Plop!" Mango jumped out of the car with a muffled crash, and that scared Thomas as he worried about Mango’s condition.

Mango was not a professionally trained stuntwoman and she was rather weak. Thus, he had no clue whether or not Mango would be injured in this dangerous situation, alas he had no time to think about this any longer.

Next, Thomas sped up the car and it drove away with a deafening screech of its tires.

Meanwhile, Mango's leg was injured after she jumped out of the car. The skin of her knees was scraped bloody and they stung as if they were on fire. Fortunately, the car that followed them earlier was still hot on the heels of Thomas’ car instead of coming for her.

She took a deep breath and her legs were in unbearable pain.

Right, where should she go now?

Where could she find a place that Abyss wasn't familiar with?

Mango had lived here for five years, but Abyss had lived here much longer than her. So, it would be very easy for Abyss to find her as he knew her habits very well.

Although Thomas had lured away her pursuers right now, Mango was in a difficult situation because she realized that she really had nowhere to hide.

Thus, she continued hiding in the woods beside the road. Mango dared not to move a muscle despite her leg hurting like hell.

Abyss1 gang were everywhere out there and there might be police officers as well. So, something was bound to happen if she went out.

She wanted to call Nathaniel to tell him she was safe but Mango feared that her phone would be monitored. Hence, she figured that the best course of action was not to contact Nathaniel.

Mango waited until darkness fell.

After dark, it was extremely cold out here. To make matters worse, she shivered in the cold as she only wore a thin coat.

Nevertheless, Mango waited until there was no one left. Then, she limped out of the woods.

Truthfully, she had no clue where she could go, only the fact that she couldn’t stay here.
