The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 267

Everyone in the room, including Mango, became nervous. It seemed that those women were looking at her helplessly for guidance.

For Mango, arriving at this place was already a huge coincidence, let alone meeting all these unfortunate women. However, could she just ignore their plight?

Mango' s conscience immediately denied that possibility.

No matter who was the true mastermind behind Nanny Zhang, Mango would not assist in this sort of immoral sale of human life.

Fortunately, the two men only did a cursory search of the area before they quickly retreated, as if they were afraid of Nanny Zhang's return.

How powerful was Nanny Zhang?

Was she so powerful that even the agents on the base were afraid of her?

Or did Nanny Zhang have agents here ever since this base was established?

Mango wasn't sure about the answer, but she kept deliberating this question in her mind.

After the footsteps outside faded away, Mango turned and spoke to those women behind her, "I'll lead all of you outside, but I can't guarantee your escape. After this, everyone should scatter instead of running together, got it?"

Then, everyone nodded.

To the women, their best hope was for Mango to free them from their prison.

Then, Mango pushed open the wooden door. She felt it was so silent outside that it was unnerving.

Mango left the room first and she looked around. Later, she gestured for the women behind her to leave after she realized that there was no one outside.

She remembered the way she came in, so Mango quickly led the women in the direction of the exit.

The sky was slowly becoming brighter as time passed and there would be cameras nearby.

Mango observed her surroundings and she noticed a camera nearby. Then, she hurriedly picked up something to cover it.

"Once I do this, it won't be long until they realize that something is wrong here. When it's time, everyone has to go their separate ways, and then it' s all in God’s hands whether or not you manage to escape."

"Thank you, miss."

In the end, someone broke down with tears of joy.

Although they had not managed to escape yet, at least they now had a glimmer of hope.

However, Mango dared not accept their gratitude yet as this was just the first step to their escape.

After she explained the escape route to the women, Mango quickly blocked the camera before she immediately ran outside.

Then, a teenaged girl around eighteen years old of medium build ran after Mango at the same time when Mango rushed outside.

Everyone scattered as no one wanted to stay here except for that young girl who kept following Mango.

At first, Mango had not noticed the girl's presence, but she then felt rather conflicted after she noticed the girl was following her.

"Hey girl, you can't follow me."

Mango was afraid of implicating the younger girl in her problems, but the other girl just shook her head and refused to speak.

It was still quite dark around them so Mango was unable to see the girl's face clearly, alas she couldn' t do anything about the girl’s stubborn attitude.

"I have other things to attend to, so I can't have you along with me.”

Right now, Mango was in a great deal of danger as everyone on the base was looking for her. Also, she had to evade Zack while she attempted to contact Merle and the others. With all that was happening, Mango could very likely end up hurting the girl that was following her right now.

However, the young girl shook her head and she adamantly refused to leave.

Now, Mango couldn't find it in herself to just leave the girl on her own.

After that, she sighed and said, "If we happen to run into more people later, you have to run away. Never come back for me, okay?"

The girl nodded and her bright eyes were striking in the early morning light.

Mango figured that the young girl must have a pair of very beautiful eyes.

This time, Mango could no longer ignore the other girl. Then, she had the younger girl followed her closely as they both ran towards the beach.

There was still hope for rescue as long as they could reach the ocean.

"Can you swim?"

The little girl shook her head.

At that, Mango became rather somber.

How could they leave if the girl could not swim?

Right at that moment, Mango realized that a lot of people were headed their way.

The beach was her only way to escape. So if she were Zack, Mango would definitely have guessed that she had gone to the beach right after the camera was blocked.

What should she do now?

Was she going to surrender to Zack willingly?

Or was she going to escape deeper into the mountains while she formulated a new plan?

Mango didn't know the answer to that and she felt like every path she took only led to more difficult decisions.

When she was with Nathaniel in the past, all she had to do was follow his lead. However, what should Mango do now that she was in this dire situation?

Mango and the girl both stopped in their tracks.

Right now, a large horde of people was already running towards the beach.

The open ocean represented hope for them and even if they risked dying at sea, it was a far better fate than being sold to someone else overseas.

Mango’s sudden stop caused the girl behind her to stumble and she nearly collided with Mango, but thankfully she managed to catch herself in time.

"Are you afraid? Will you still follow me even if I turn and run back the way we came?”

As she said this, Mango looked at the young girl.
