When Ned saw Nathaniel coming out, he quickly followed him.
"Where are we going, Mr. Ye?"
"You stay here with Mango. Remember to protect her with your life. Do you understand?"
Nathaniel talked in a serious tone.
Ned paused for a moment and then quickly nodded.
Since Mango had recommended him, he certainly was more loyal to her. Now that Newell had other tasks, he was the only bodyguard left that could protect Mango. Therefore, Ned felt extremely honoured.
"Mr. Ye, don't worry. I will use my life to protect Mrs. Ye."
"Thank you for your work."
Nathaniel walked out as soon as he finished speaking.
He drove alone, and nobody dared to follow him.
Nathaniel quickly returned to The Ye's Mansion. He still remembered there was a person who looked exactly like him searching for something in his study. He wondered how Zion was doing.
The guard was in a trance when he saw Nathaniel. "Didn't Mr. Ye go in not long ago? When did he come out?" He thought.
"What are you standing around for? Go and close all the doors. Without my code word, no one is allowed to open the doors. I need to trap someone who dares to trespass my house."
Nathaniel's cold and stern look made them slightly stunned, but his words immediately proved that the man in front of them was indeed Mr. Ye.
Which meant that the person who entered just now was a fake one?
Although everyone was puzzled, they still acted quickly.
After Nathaniel drove in his car, he directly got out and locked it.
Pryce heard the sound in the study. He looked down from the floor-to-ceiling window and saw that Nathaniel had returned.
"Oh sh*t..."
He hadn't found what he wanted, but now he happened to bump into with Nathaniel. What should he do?
Pryce immediately thought of Zion.
That was right!
He could control Nathaniel if he had Zion with him!
Nathaniel cared about his children the most. If he had Zion in his hands, he wouldn't need to worry about his escape!
Thinking about this, Pryce quickly opened the door of the study room. He intended to find Zion. However, he didn't notice that the outside of the study room had been covered with a layer of oil.
As soon as Pryce stepped out the door, he slipped and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
Pryce wanted to grab something, but he was a little far away from the corridor's armrest.
Just then, he heard Zion's voice beside his ear.
"Do you need any help?"
"Of course."
When he saw Zion, a sliver of hope appeared in Pryce's eyes. In his opinion, Zion was still a kid after all, and the latter wouldn't be able to tell who he was.
He quickly smiled and said, "Come and pull daddy up quickly."
Zion's lip corner had curled into a mocking smile, but he still reached out to him.
Pryce held onto Zion's hand, and he intended to use Zion's strength to get up. As he did this, he started making his own plans. Once he had caught hold of Zion, he wouldn't let the latter go!
There was a glint in Pryce's eyes as he thought about this.
However, before he could carry out his plan, Zion pulled and dragged him. Then, he threw him over his shoulder and gave him a series of kicks.
Pryce was totally confused.
When he saw the mocking smile on Zion's face in mid- air, he was startled. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Bang!" Pryce's heavy body fell on the corridor. His body even slid forward due to the food oil. He was right at the stairs.
"Ouchh! Stop it!"
Pryce seemed to have predicted something and wanted to grab the stairs railing. However, someone had tied some barbs on the railing. As soon as he grabbed it, the barbs stabbed into his palms. He cried out in pain and quickly let go of the barbs.
With the help of the vegetable oil that was all over the ground, Pryce fell from the stairs with a grunt.
Pryce rolled all the way and fell on the stairs of the first floor. Before he could react, a pair of big feet stepped directly on him.
"Was it fun?"
Nathaniel had said those words calmly, but the fury in his eyes shocked Pryce.
"My mission is complete, Mr.Ye. I'll leave the rest to you."
Zion asked the maid to clean up the vegetable oil.
Nathaniel gave his son an 'ok' gesture, indicating that he would take over now.
It was only then that Pryce realized that the father and son pair had plotted against him.
"How could that be? He's just a kid!"
Pryce couldn't stand the fact that he had lost.
He thought that he had perfectly disguised himself. How could he fall into a trap instead?
Zion couldn't stand his stupid look. He shook his head subconsciously. He came to Pryce and said, "Hah! You can only blame yourself for deciding to come here! Mommy and I were trying to find you elsewhere, but you came knocking at our door on your own accord. If I didn't take the chance to give you some punishments, my mom's hard work these few days would have been wasted!
