The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 468

Mango quickly clicked on the message notification and she smiled.

She didn't know what Nathaniel would reply, but he should be missing her as well, right?

As the thought crossed her mind, Mango quickly opened the notification only to find that it was Walter who replied to her.

"Baby, I miss you too. Does this mean our hearts are connected?"

Disappointment etched itself into Mango's face, but she still replied, "Unfortunately the one I miss isn't you."

"Ouch, you hurt my heart."

Walter looked at the reply on his phone and he felt unbearably depressed.

On the other hand, Mango replied to the comment with a smile as she didn't really feel like talking.

The person she wanted to hear from the most did not reply, and the person who did wasn't the one she wanted. Honestly, it seemed rather mean of her.

Mango got up to use the bathroom. Then, she turned off the phone before laying down once more.

Since Nathaniel wasn't there, she might as well go to bed.

Maybe she could see Nathaniel in her dreams.

They'd been separated for a total of six days so far!

Nathaniel would be home in another two days.

Mango had no idea how she would make it through the next two days.

After that, Mango tossed and turned but she just couldn't fall asleep. Thus, she had no choice but to pull the quilt over herself and force herself to sleep.

Meanwhile, Walter looked at his phone as he wondered how to make Mango less averse to him. Alas, the more he cared about her response, the less he could find an appropriate reply.

He waited for Mango's reply but failed to receive any after a long time.

Then, Walter checked the time and he realized that Mango must be asleep.

A smile broke out across his face when he gazed at Mango's selfies.

Next, he carefully saved them to his phone as if they were the most important things in his life.

All was quiet in the middle of the night.

Meanwhile, Walter left the hotel in dark clothing.

He deliberately left through the back door and he looked around. When Walter made sure that no one was following him, he got onto a car before heading to a hilltop five miles away.

A private plane had been prepared for him here.

Due to the secretive nature of this task, Walter did not bring anyone with him and he flew the plane out of the city.

Not long after he left, a few men living in the presidential suite in Walter's hotel tapped a few keys on their computer. Then, they told Merle, "Sir, Mr. Song has left the city. We've already installed the radar and we're scanning for his location. The tracking device we placed in Mr. Song's tie is also active."

"Got it. Remember, don't do anything to Walter's phone, as Zion has control over that. It would be bad if Zion ever found out about what we're doing."

"Yes, sir!"

Everything was going according to plan on their side.

On the other hand, Walter had no idea that he was being followed as he flew the plane towards the unknown area Zion had pointed him to.

Meanwhile, Zion was also monitoring his journey. However, there seemed to be something odd with the signal.

"Uncle Song, have you interacted with anyone inside the hotel?"

Zion's words puzzled Walter.

"I haven't seen anyone except the cleaners who came up to clean the room. Why?"

"It's very strange. I keep feeling like something is interfering with your cell signal. Perhaps there might be another surveillance system aboard your aircraft."

Zion muttered to himself in a confused tone.

Walter's brow furrowed after he heard Zion's words.

"Are you saying that someone's been watching me?"

"I don't know, I can't seem to find out who it is. He must be really good at this."

Zion rarely ever admitted that anyone was better than him, and he'd only ever lost to Nathaniel back then. So, who could it be this time?

However, Walter remained cautious and he replied, "I have an idea, but you'll have to wait for me to contact you."

"What's your plan?"

As soon as Zion asked, he spotted Walter's plane taking a nosedive.

"Uncle Song!"

Zion's heart suddenly clenched in fear.

A vast sea stretched out below the plane!

However, Walter remained silent as he flew the plane into the ocean.

After the plane hit the water, it started to sink immediately.

With his superior aquatic skills, Walter immediately opened the escape hatch and he fled the aircraft.

On the other hand, Merle's men lost all signal immediately.

"Captain Malthus, we've lost the signal. It seems like Mr. Song has ditched the aircraft."

"Ditched the aircraft?"

Merle was a little puzzled.

Walter was an excellent pilot. How could he have randomly ditched the aircraft?

The only possible explanation was that they had been exposed.

"D*mn it! It seems that we can't track him any longer."

Merle was extremely dissatisfied, but there was nothing else he could do.

Even if they picked up the signal again, there was no way they could find Walter again.

Before he ditched in the ocean, Walter tweaked his phone to make sure that it wouldn't be compromised.

After Walter made it ashore, he was freezing. Hence, he quickly managed to get into one of his family's branch offices to sort himself out before flying another plane out of the country. This time, Walter put his phone in flight mode and he even changed the number to his other phone.

This way, even Zion would have a hard time finding him, let alone Merle.
