The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 451

A slight pause in Mango's movement allowed the man to violently grab hold of her hand. Then, a harsh numbing feeling raced up her arm and sapped her of all her energy.

"You..."

Before Mango could finish her sentence, the man knocked her out cold.

Her body collapsed limply to the floor.

Next, the man caught Mango before she could collapse fully to the floor and he looked around quickly. When he confirmed that the coast was clear, he swept Mango off her feet and stuffed her into a van before he drove off.

Just a moment ago, Rainie had been able to spot Mango, but she seemed to have disappeared the very next second.

Panic started to set in uncontrollably.

"Mango! Mango! Where are you?"

She was so anxious that she starting pushing around blindly, but the burgeoning crowd restricted a lot of her movements.

At last, Rainie had no choice but to shout, "Murder! Someone's been murdered!"

As soon as she said that, the crowd around her dispersed immediately.

During this time, Rainie took the opportunity to run over to where she last saw Mango, but her best friend was no longer there.

Then, Rainie immediately burst into tears.

"Thomas, what do I do? I've lost track of Mango. She was just here, so where could she have gone?"

Rainie quickly called Thomas in a panic.

On the other hand, Thomas was flabbergasted when he heard this.

"Where did you last see her?"

"Come quick!"

Thomas immediately ditched the car as soon as he heard Rainie's panicked cries and he rushed over to her location. However, Mango was nowhere to be found.

At the same time, the police had finally arrived at the scene.

As a result, the situation became even more chaotic.

Mango was a well-known individual in Ocean City, so Thomas immediately contacted the police station to inquire if they could search the surveillance camera footage for Mango.

As soon as the police commissioner heard that Nathaniel Ye's wife was in danger, he immediately recruited a few police officers for help.

However, there was a blind spot in the surveillance coverage which comprised of the alley behind the Celestial Clubhouse.

Then, Thomas rushed over only to find fresh tire tracks on the ground. It seemed to him like a car had driven away at high speed not long ago.

"Get in the car!"

Thomas led Rainie into the car and he paid no need to the traffic jam in front of him as he drove onto the sidewalk, following the tire tracks.

Unfortunately, there was a crossroad near the alley and Thomas lost the trail there. After all, there were far too many cars here and it was difficult to pinpoint a singular tire track.

Thomas's heart clenched painfully in his chest.

What was he going to do?

Before he left, Nathaniel had reminded him multiple times to take good care of Mango and the children. But now, he ended up losing track of Mango!

Thus, Thomas felt incredibly remorseful and he picked up the phone to call Nathaniel.

Alas, his boss's phone remained off.

This was something that Thomas had never experienced before, and it could be said that he'd never been unable to contact Nathaniel ever since he started working for the man. However, Nathaniel's phone was completely turned off.

Anxiety seeped out of every pore in Thomas's body while Rainie kept on blaming herself for losing Mango.

Despite making more than a dozen phone calls, Thomas was unable to get through to Nathaniel. Thus, he had no choice but to call Noah instead.

"Dr. Soo, do you have any idea how to contact Mr. Ye?"

"I'm not sure. What seems to be the matter?"

At the time, Noah had just returned home. Before he could even speak to Genevieve, Thomas had already called him.

Of course, Thomas didn't dare to hide anything from him during this critical time.

"We lost Mango. I've been calling Mr. Ye all this time, but his phone is always turned off. Dr. Soo, I don't know what you and Mr. Ye are doing, but can you tell him about this if you manage to contact him?"

Thomas seemed close to tears as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Noah frowned deeply.

"What do you mean by Mango is missing? Isn't she resting over at her parents' home?"

"Yes, she was, but we found out that Susie had escaped from the Ye family's custody. Out of concern for Madam Ye and Zion, Mrs. Ye decided to return to Ye's Mansion and check on them. However, we ran into a traffic jam on the way and there was an incident at the Celestial Clubhouse, so Mrs. Ye got down to explore on foot. Due to the crowd, she..."

Thomas spoke with a remorseful tone. He should have never allowed Rainie and Mango to get off the car.

However, the incident was related to Gianna and he had no idea how to tell Noah about it.

Upon hearing this, Noah immediately reached for his coat as he asked, "Have you contacted the police?"

"We did, but there's a blind spot in the surveillance coverage in the alley behind the club. Unfortunately, we lost their trail."

"Don't worry, I'll be right there."

Then, Noah hung up the phone and he prepared to leave the house.

"What happened?"

Genevieve couldn't help but ask when she saw how panicked Noah was.

Her expression became grim as soon as Noah recounted what happened to Mango.

"It's best to find Mango as soon as possible."
