Mango had been unlucky recently. She felt anxious when she passed by the alley, but before she could even say anything, she fainted as someone had hit her on the back of the head!
She had no idea how Rainie was doing too.
Mango felt a bit blurry when she woke up again. Someone had tied both her hands and legs to a stool, and she could not see anything because she had been blindfolded.
She was a little scared of the dark, but she calmed herself down when she thought of Rainie.
"Is anyone there?"
Mango shouted. The place was empty, and she did not hear Rainie's voice.
She suddenly felt uneasy.
Mango would have felt better if she and Rainie had been locked up together. She got a bit anxious knowing that she was alone now as she had no idea how their kidnappers planned to deal with Rainie.
Had Nathaniel gone back home yet? Did he find out that someone had kidnapped her?
Mango suddenly thought of some people at this moment. However, she realized that those people would not be dare to kidnap her for revenge.
So, who would dare to do this?
Mango kept waiting for someone to check on her. After some time, she fell asleep because no one came to see her.
Of course, Nathaniel did not go back.
Even though Mango did not contact him the whole day, he did not think that anything was wrong, and he felt everything was under his control. He even felt a bit depressed when his subordinate told him that Mango was by the roadside eating beef noodles with Rainie.
"Did Mango forget about me?"
What was he supposed to do now that Mango and Rainie were eating outside this late?
Nathaniel sighed as he looked at the dishes on the table that he had prepared.
Although they had already had s*x twice, the way Mango treated him was different from before.
However, there were some things which he couldn't tell her. Thus, he could repair their relationship slowly by doing these favours for her.
Nathaniel continued waiting for around half an hour, but he gradually became nervous as Mango was still not back yet.
Didn't she say that she was walking back?
It should take less than 20 minutes.
Nathaniel did not hesitate any longer, and he took up his phone and gave Mango a call. However, a beep sounded for the other end, indicating that her phone had been turned off.
Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat.
Did her phone run out of battery?
However, he felt that Mango would not make such a mistake.
Nathaniel quickly enquired his subordinates on Mango's whereabouts. But, none of his subordinates went to the alley with them. This was because they thought that nothing would happen as the alley was only a short distance away from the building.
Nathaniel became angry immediately after he heard this.
"Hah! A short distance? Check it quickly!"
Only then did his subordinates realize that this matter had became serious.
They ran towards the alley one after another, but they only saw Rainie laying down on the floor in an unconscious state.
Nathaniel rushed there instantly after they had sent Rainie to the hospital.
Rainie was confused when she woke up after being rescued.
"Why am I here?"
"Where's Mango? What happened to you guys?"
Nathaniel grabbed Rainie's wrist.
Rainie felt a bit of pain, but she focused on answering Nathaniel's question.
"Huh? What happened to Mango?"
"That's what I'm asking you! What happened to the both of you?"
Nathaniel knew that he would not get any answers from Rainie when he saw how confused she looked, but he had hope.
Perhaps Rainie would remember something?
Rainie head was buzzing. She tried hard to recall what had happened, but the last thing she remembers was that someone had knocked them out when they were walking on the streets.
She could not recall who had knocked her out, nor could she recall what had happened to Mango.
Nathaniel's face darkened.
"Fire everyone who followed my wife today! I'll forget about this problem if she's alright, but if she's not..."
Nathaniel did not continue his sentence, but Ned already knew what he wanted to say.
Rainie understood the meaning behind Nathaniel's words.
"Is Mango missing?"
"Yeah, I'll go look for someone to investigate on Mango's whereabouts."
Nathaniel left after he said that.
Rainie wanted to follow him, but she felt dizzy just when she got down from the bed.
D*mn it!
Which b*stard hit her?
It was too painful!
Nathaniel knew that Rainie had her own bodyguards. After all, she was Mango's friend, and Nathaniel could not simply leave Rainie unguarded now that Mango was not around. However, he really could not help her anymore even though he wanted to.
After Nathaniel left the ward, he told Ned immediately, "Check where Lebanon Fang is and what he is doing now."
"Lebanon is still in the hospital, and our people have been keeping an eye on him. He did not take any actions, but his assistant, Alfred, went to find Madam just right before she went missing."
Ned reported.
Nathaniel's eyes became a little cold.
"Let's go!"
He brought Ned together to Lebanon's ward.
Alfred was still warning Lebanon against Mango when he saw Nathaniel enter the ward.
He felt that this man looked very familiar. However, before he could recall who the man was, Nathaniel had stepped forward and strangled Lebanon.
"Where's Mango? Where did you bring her?"
