"Who goes there?"
Mango wanted to get up, but she was pinned down by someone.
"Mrs. Ye, it's me!"
The other person's voice was somewhat familiar. When Mango heard it, she was startled.
"Hadley?"
"Yes, it's me."
Then Hadley let go of Mango.
"Why are you here?"
Mango was a little surprised.
This was not an ordinary place but a military compound, so normal people could not enter the premises. Even Nathaniel had to go through the guards to enter, so how did Hadley come in?
Hadley whispered, "Since you had rescued me, Merle sent me here so Nick wouldn't find me. I remembered every landmark, and I'm here to rescue you now.”
Upon hearing Hadley’ s words, Mango finally understood what was going on.
"Did Merle ask you to do this?"
"Yes, Mrs. Ye."
"What else did Merle say?"
Hadley was a little confused by Mango's question.
"No, he just told me to stay here, but I'm really anxious. Mrs. Ye, I have something to tell you."
If it was in the past, Mango would definitely not believe his words. However, now that she had experienced so much, Mango wanted to know more about the situation.
"Who on earth is Boston Huang?"
She asked curiously.
Seeing that Mango had the interest to continue listening, Hadley quickly said, "Boston was a director in the HY Group and was also a friend of Mr. Ye. They're both very firm friends, and they've fought together side by side. I don't know what Mr. Ye handed to Boston for him to keep, but he said that if something happened to the HY Group, he would ask Boston to take charge of the situation. After Mr. Ye returned, he asked for the thing that Boston kept, but Boston didn't give it to him, so the two of them fought over this matter. Later on, Boston was attacked. Seeing that things were not in good situation, he hid it somewhere else and asked me to find Mr. Ye and tell him everything that happened. But Nick’s men were had strict surveillance on me so I couldn't escape. Moreover,
I didn't know how he got the news that I was looking for you, Mrs. Ye, therefore he purposely brought you along with Ms. Sun to create an opportunity for me to meet you. Sadly, I didn't know it was his trap, and you were dragged into it. If not, Nick would not have targeted you so quickly."
"What's so important that Nick is willing to turn against his family to get it?"
Mango did not understand.
On the other hand, Hadley was even more confused.
"I don't know. My task is to find you and tell you about this so that you can contact Mr. Ye as soon as possible so that he can think of a way to escape. It's really a shame that Boston is afraid to show up now."
Hadley's words puzzled Mango, but at the same time, she was also a little worried.
"To be honest, I don't know where Nathan is now. He went out a few days ago, but he suddenly lost contact with me. I'm also panicked because I don't know about the situation he's in now."
Mango spoke while her expression became gloomy once again.
Then, Hadley said nervously, "What should we do then? Boston is still waiting for Mr. Ye. He won't be able to hold on for long. Nick's men are not ordinary people. He is very cruel, and Boston's family may be in his custody. If he threatens Boston with his family members, I don't know what he's going to do."
"Where is Boston?"
At that point, Mango had already made up her mind.
No matter what the thing was, it must be special for Nick to want to get it at all costs. Originally, Nathaniel had entrusted such an important thing to Boston, which proved their friendship. Now that Nathaniel was no longer contactable, how could she just let Boston and his family get into trouble?
Hadley seemed to have understood what Mango meant and whispered, "You want to see Boston?"
"Yes. Since it was Nathan who entrusted it to him and it landed him in big trouble, it's reasonable for me to take the thing back. No matter what it is, just let Nick come at me."
Mango had already made up her mind a long time ago. Since Nick was really going to turn against them, she had nothing to lose anymore.
Even without Nathaniel, there were many things that she could also make a decision on.
"I will bring you along, but when we leave the military compound and go outside, I don't know if
Nick's men will come after us. Mrs. Ye, where is Merle? If he is here, maybe we can try."
"Merle?"
Mango then thought of the wound on her shoulder.
Merle was the person that Madam Ye had personally chosen and he had been with the Ye Family for many years. He was still quite loyal to her, but why did he suddenly become a different person and even shoot her?
Mango did not understand.
"Merle is not here either. He went to find Nathaniel and disappeared off the map. I don't know what happened exactly, so I am actually in the dark about many things now."
