Chapter 112
Mango did not have time to explain to Nathaniel about Rita at the moment. When she heard Nathaniel talking about Zion, her eyes turned red again.
Perhaps he probably had realized there was something wrong with his tone, Nathaniel secretly blamed himself for being narrow-minded. He gently held Mango's hand and said, "Don't worry, our son will be fine."
At this point, it had been clear to Mango that all of this was schemed by someone. It was her fault that she didn't take any precautions earlier. Instead, she put her son in such a dangerous situation. "Shall we go back to the monitoring room and take another look?"
"Okay."
Mango calmed down her emotions and knew it was not the time for her to be sad. The most important thing was to find Zion as soon as possible.
They went back to the monitoring room again.
The director of the hospital was still in the monitoring room. He was looking for the video of Zion after he had gone missing in the backyard according to Nathaniel's instructions, but only to find out unfortunately that there was a five-minute blank during that period.
The director was a little embarrassed, and Nathaniel's face already looked a bit angry.
Before Nathaniel got angry, Mango said, "Someone deliberately destroyed the monitor."
"Yes."
At this time, Thomas called.
"Mr. Ye, I found it out. At that time, someone ran into the woman who called in the video game store. Coincidentally, the woman happened to run into a young man. The two of them quarreled for a while. And then, the woman went to the side to make a phone call. The young man happened to hear the conversation on the phone, and that young man is right beside me now."
"Bring him here right away!"
Nathaniel's voice was terribly cold.
Mango knew this was a new clue.
They quickly went to the reception room.
When the young man was brought here, he was still cursing in his mouth. He was only a 17 or 18-year-old kid, who looked a little rebellious.
At first, he was a little displeased for being brought here by Thomas, but when he saw Nathaniel, he suddenly became quiet.
Almost everyone in the entire Ocean City knew Nathaniel. The young man was more or less perturbed to be taken here by Nathaniel.
"Mr. Ye, I didn't do anything, really!"
Although he did not know what had happened, Nathaniel's sternness made everyone feel uneasy. In fact, Mango really wanted to ask about Zion, but now she didn't say anything. She just waited quietly for Nathaniel to ask.
She believed that Nathaniel felt the same with her when it came to Zion.
Nathaniel gave him a cold look and said, "Tell me about the woman who ran into you before making a phone call. What did she look like? How old was she?"
When the young man heard this, he quickly said, "I didn't bump into her on purpose. I just didn't see my way clearly. At that time, I was busy topping up my card, so..."
"I want to hear what I want to know."
Since he hadn't found Zion after such a long time, Nathaniel's temper became very bad.
The young man was slightly stunned and quickly said, "That was a woman in her fifties. She looked very rich. At that time, I was thinking what was a woman at such an old age doing in the video game store. I thought she was looking for her grandson or something. I didn't expect that she just made a phone call and left."
"In her fifties? Are you sure?"
Nathaniel had always thought the person who pretended to be Mango was a young woman, but he didn't expect it to be an old woman in her fifties. But how could Zack not be able to hear the difference between the voice of an old woman and a young woman?
The young man saw that Nathaniel was suspicious of himself and quickly said, "Absolutely right! That woman was in her fifties."
"Got it. Thomas, give him some money and send him away."
Seeing that he couldn't get anything else out of the young man, Nathaniel said to Thomas.
After the young man was taken away, Mango asked anxiously, "What do you think?"
"Zack is not an ordinary person. For him to believe it was your voice, there must be something wrong. I need to go back and find Zack's phone recording to check what was going on."
"Will there be a phone recording?"
Mango was a little anxious.
Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yes, every phone call in the base has been recorded. This is for safety reason."
The two of them quickly returned to the Ye's Mansion.
It had been more than two hours since Zion disappeared, but there was no clue at all. The whole Ocean City was almost searched through, and every exit was guarded by people. But Zion seemed to have been evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace at all.
Mango was anxious and restless. Nathaniel was in a flutter, but he had to force himself to calm down.
When Zack's call recording was sent over, Nathaniel quickly ran a voice analysis and soon found out that the person had used a voice changer. However, strangely enough, the voice changer made that person's voice somewhat similar to Mango's voice.
That meant the person was very familiar with Mango, or at least was very familiar with her voice.
To disguise oneself through a voice changer by using a familiar voice was not something that could be done by average people.
Nathaniel suddenly thought of something.
"Thomas, where is Sisi?"
When Madam Hans' extortion case happened, Sisi was a key character. However, there were too many things happening during this period. Before Nathaniel could ask Sisi, a bunch of things came one after another, which almost made him forget this important person.
Thomas quickly sent someone to look for Sisi, but that person came back and told him that Sisi had gone!
This answer made Nathaniel's face turn dark again.
"What do you mean by 'gone'? Who can explain it to me? Thomas, can you tell me why the person managed by Ye Family had suddenly gone missing?"
At this time, sweat had oozed out from Thomas' forehead.
He didn't manage this well enough, so he naturally didn't dare to say a word for himself. Moreover, Zion was still missing at the time being. No matter what he said to explain, it would be all pointless. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye."
"I'll deduct your bonus for half a year. If we can't find Zion, you..."
Nathaniel could not finish the sentence with anything too harsh, but he was in a very bad mood.
When Mango heard that Sisi had gone missing, she was all puzzled.
She had no hatred with Sisi, and it was Nathaniel who had sent Sisi to protect her and she even argued with Nanny Zhang for her. Why would such a girl get involved in this matter?
"Who does Sisi work for?"
Mango's question made Nathaniel frown slightly.
"I haven't investigated that yet, but it has something to do with Madam Hans' extortion. Thomas, get the car ready. I'm going to the Hans family!"
Since Sisi was gone, he had no choice but to go directly to the Hans family to ask Madam Hans about Sisi's background.
Mango also wanted to go with them, but Nathaniel stopped her.
"Stay here. If that person calls you or something, you can handle it. Besides, there are a lot of unknown things as we go to the Hans family. It's too dangerous for you to go there. Zion's missing now, I can't let anything happen to you. Thomas, stay here to protect Mango. If something happens again, you can stop working here anymore."
Thomas was Nathaniel's personal bodyguard and also his special assistant. Many things were handed over to Thomas to deal with. Now that Nathaniel had left Thomas behind, it was very obvious how much importance he had attached to Mango.
Mango felt somewhat touched in her heart, but words seemed a little pale at the moment. She had to nod and agreed to stay in the The Ye's Mansion.
Nathaniel quickly left for the Hans family.
Because of Master Mo from last time, Madam Hans was very polite to Nathaniel this time, but Nathaniel did not have much time to talk nonsense with her.
"Madam Hans, I came here today to ask you, what's the relationship between the Hans family and Sisi? Sisi is missing now, does that have anything to do with the Hans family?"
Nathaniel was very straightforward, but Madam Hans was stunned instead.
"Sisi?"
"She was the bodyguard beside Katherine when you wanted to extort her."
Nathaniel had no choice but to bring up this matter again.
Obviously, as he mentioned this matter, Madam Hans' face looked unhappy. However, Madam Hans shook her head and said, "I don't know that girl. At that time, I even doubted why she would help me. She clearly saw my intention, but in the end, she still let me go. If she intervened forcefully at that time, I might not have had a chance."
Hearing Madam Hans' words, Nathaniel squinted his eyes. Obviously, he did not really believe Madam Hans, but when he looked at Madam Hans' eyes, he had no choice but to believe her.
There was no need for Madam Hans to lie to him! Since she had already admitted committing the extortion, it was impossible for her to shield a bodyguard.
At this point, it seemed that the clues were cut off again.
Nathaniel said goodbye to Madam Hans. When he came out, he went straight to the video game store. He found out the boss and searched for the monitoring at that time. However, it was very dark in the video game store, so he couldn't see clearly. Moreover, it was especially crowded that day, so they didn't find out that woman in her fifties who had been mentioned by the young man.
Nathaniel of course was not satisfied with this result, but now he had to go home quickly to see if there was any progress on Mango's side.
When he returned to Ye's Mansion, Mango was staring at the phone without blinking, as if someone had put a spell on her.
Seeing Mango like this, Nathaniel was very distressed.
He stepped forward and put his arm around Mango's shoulders, whispering, "Mango, don't do this."
"Any news?"
Mango's expectant look made it difficult for Nathaniel to see straight into her eyes.
He couldn't bear to tell Mango the truth, but he couldn't let her think too much either, so he could only sigh and shake his head.
Mango's eyes suddenly dimmed. "Don't be like this Mango, there will be a way."
"But it's already been this long, and there's no news from that person at all. Maybe they didn't do it for the money?"
This was Mango's biggest fear.
If it was only for the sake of money, Mango would not be worried. But if it was a human trafficker who had kidnapped Zion, could she ever find her Zion again?
At the thought of this, Mango was immediately in a state of utter despair.
"Did you offend anyone when you came back this time?"
Obviously, Nathaniel was also afraid that they were not after money.
Mango shook her head and said, "Who do you think I will offend in my current state? How many from my past really know me now? Even my own parents couldn't recognize me when they stood in front of me. Who else would recognize me? And ever since I came to Ocean City, I ran into all kinds of accidents, and I didn't even have time to offend anyone!"
Suddenly, something flashed through Nathaniel's mind. He seemed to have grasped something, but he also couldn't really pin down anything.
