Mango answered the phone immediately.
"Zion, have you found anything?"
Zion paused for a while when he heard that it was his mother's voice before he said "Mommy, have you guys arrived? How's Uncle Song?"
"His condition is not so good, but he has already gone to the ICU. How's your investigation going as your daddy told you to do?"
Mango was very anxious, but she didn't want to force Zion.
Then, Zion replied, "I've found out that the car that the other party is driving belongs to Bosco."
"Bosco..."
Mango looked at Nathaniel with anger in her eyes.
Wasn't Bosco a jade tycoon? There was no need to harm Walter because of business, wasn't it?
"Got it, Zion. Don't get involved in this matter as I'll handle it by myself and you should stay safe with Uncle Soo. Do you understand?"
"Understood, mommy. You and Mr. Ye should also take care of yourselves."
"Alright."
Mango frowned after hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong? What did Zion say?"
"It's Bosco, but it's not necessary for him to go to this extent if it's just business affairs, isn't it? Is there something that we don't know?"
Mango asked the questions she had in mind.
Then, Nathaniel thought for a moment and said, "Ask Novalee as we might get some clues from her."
Mango nodded her head and left the ward with Nathaniel.
Walter used to be full of vigor, but he was lying there motionlessly now.
Not long ago, Nathaniel was lying on the bed, but now it was Walter.
Mango felt that she should really pray to the deities in the temple as she found it strange that the people around her always got into trouble.
When Novalee saw Mango walking in, she immediately stood up and asked, "Ms. Shen, how is it going?"
"Do Walter and Bosco have grudges against each other? Do you have any idea?"
Mango's question made Novalee stunned for a moment.
"Bosco? Do you mean that it was Bosco who caused us trouble and beat Walter up?"
"The car belongs to him, but we haven't investigated it clearly if it was his order, so we aren't sure yet. We wanted to know now if there are any personal grievances between Walter and Bosco?"
"No...but if they do, it must be because of me."
Novalee bit her lower lip and told her Walter's speculation about Bosco, including the cause of her parents' death and the secret information given by Zion.
At that instant, Mango's brows furrowed slightly.
Then, Nathaniel said in a low voice, "He's still so arrogant... Doesn't he realize where is he now? Does he still think he is in Ocean City and that he can do anything as he like? He's just causing himself trouble."
"Well, Walter has always been like this... Don't you know that? He didn't mind his behavior in the Underground City at that time too, did he?"
Mango knew that Nathaniel was doing this out of goodwill, so she quickly stretched out her hand and held him.
On the other hand, Novalee looked at Nathaniel as she was afraid that Nathaniel would not stand up for Walter and she quickly said, "Mr. Ye, I know you that you're an influential person and Walter said
that you are his best friend, so please help him!"
"Me? His best friend? Did he say this to you?"
Nathaniel was a little surprised.
Then, Novalee nodded quickly.
"Yes, he told me himself and he said that he doesn't have many friends in his life, but the most reliable and trustworthy people beside him are Ms. Shen and Mr. Ye."
Nathaniel smiled as he shook his head when he heard what Novalee said.
"Doesn't he feel guilty saying this?"
"Well, he did say so... Are you going to help him or not?"
Mango tugged at the hem of Nathaniel's shirt.
Nathaniel felt somewhat displeased when he heard his wife speaking for Walter.
"I would've been jealous if I didn't know your feelings for me. Mango, do you know how much pain I feel in my heart when you beg for mercy for another man in front of me?"
However, Mango let out a laugh at that instant.
"I'll return you the favour, alright?"
"That's a promise!"
Nathaniel bargained like a child.
Suddenly, Novalee felt a little envious looking at their interaction.
There weren't many couples like Mango and Nathaniel in this world.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Shen, you're so close with each other."
Then, Nathaniel immediately smiled and said, "Of course, we are an old couple after all and our child is already four years old."
"Well, don't get all flattered... Quick, do you have any ways to help Walter?"
Mango glared at Nathaniel in a flirtish manner.
This man was becoming increasingly arrogant.
Then, Nathaniel said with a smile, "Of course I have a solution and I'll have to obey the orders of my dear wife regardless. Don't worry, I will check out Bosco's background at night."
"I'll go with you."
Mango said this.
However, Nathaniel whispered, "You'd better stay in the hotel so that you can find someone to save me in case I can't come back."
