Chapter 266

    Chapter 266


    Mango wanted to turn around and leave, but it was toote for her.


    Hence, she could only bend down and she backtracked as much as possible, but she bumped into


    something.


    In a hurry, Mango saw a wooden barrel of unidentifiable contents behind her as she turned around


    to look at it.


    After that, Mango quickly got into the barrel and she carefully covered the barrel lid over herself.


    It was very humid inside the barrel, and it stank as it seemed to have been ced here for a long


    time.


    Mango frowned slightly and she pinched her nose as she tried her best to quieten her breathing.


    The footsteps approached, and the voices came ever closer to her.


    Mango''s heartbeat increased abruptly as she heard the familiar voice.


    It was Nanny Zhang and Sisi!


    So, it turned out that they were hiding here!


    Did that mean that Zack was Nanny Zhang'' s subordinate?


    Thus, it was no wonder that Nanny Zhang and Sisi were nowhere to be found even when Nathaniel


    searched the entirety of Ocean City. It turned out that Zack had hidden them here.


    Frankly, Mango had to admire Zack’s ability to conceal his true loyalties.


    It was quite remarkable for him to hide in in sight in front of Nathaniel for such a long time.


    Mango remembered that Zack went to help look for Zion when he was missing.


    They had no clue of his betrayal back then, so if Zack had found Zion in the first ce, Mango


    wouldn’t have known how Zion ended up.


    Mango was afraid, but she was grateful that Nick had helped her from behind the scenes.


    Sisi spoke as she walked, "Nanny Zhang, Zack informed us that Mango has escaped. Where do


    you think she could’ve escaped on this mountain?"


    "I don’t know, but that woman needs to die. If it wasn’t for her, I would still be together with my son.


    Ultimately, she has not only created a rift between me and my son, but she also became the new


    madam of the Dark Night Empire. How on Earth is she capable of being the madam of the Dark


    Night?"


    Nanny Zhang''s voice sounded, and she was unable to hide the disdain in her tone.


    Frankly, Mango had always known that Nanny Zhang disliked her, but she figured that the reason


    was because of Nathaniel. Now, she knew that was notpletely true.


    Sisi muttered, "Did she send the agents of the Dark Night Empire here? She must know about


    Zack''s background if she has escaped. It''s a shame that we poured so much effort into controlling


    Zack for so many years only for Mr. Ye to discover the truth, so when the timees...” "He’ II


    never find out. Didn''t Zack tell us that Nathaniel has left the base earlier? I heard that his little


    daughter, Rita is going to have her surgery at dawn, so he needs to go back and save her no matter


    what. How dare that short-lived munchkin has my son'' s kidney transnted into her? Ridiculous!


    Have you arranged for the doctor as I asked?”


    There was a brash hint in Nanny Zhang’s voice.


    Sisi immediately said, "It''s taken care of. Rest assured, Rita will never survive the surgery because


    I''ve arranged for the doctor to make an "ident” during the surgery."


    "Whatever you do, don''t hurt my son!"


    Nanny Zhang''s words shocked Mango.


    Rita was in danger?


    Clearly, Nanny Zhang was insane. Although she knew that Rita was her own granddaughter, she


    still wanted to hurt Rita?


    Mango was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do now.


    Urgh! What should she do?


    Nathaniel would be sedated when he went for the surgery, so there was no one to stop the surgery


    if anything went wrong.


    Her daughter!


    Her poor daughter!


    Was Rita going to die at the hands of Nanny Zhang like this?


    Mango nearly lost control of her anger, but then she heard Sisi say, "Nanny Zhang, Rita is your


    granddaughter, so do you really want to hurt her?"


    "Bullsh*t! She is just a sickly child to me, and what use do I have for a girl? It would''ve been fine if


    her body could ept someone else''s kidney, but unfortunately, her body could only ept my


    son''s kidney. Would it not affect him if he lost a kidney? I'' ve already lost one son, so do you think I''ll


    stand idly by while my other son bes a cripple? It is Rita''s mother''s fault for not raising her well


    that the little girl be like this, not mine. Furthermore, a weak child like her is useless to me. Oh,


    have you found any information on Zion as I asked you to?"


    "Not yet, Young Master Zion seems to have disappeared, and he might be dead for all we know."


    "B*stard! That moron, Macy Cho actually dared to hurt my grandson! Zion is the future hope of the


    Ye Family and as long as he’s in my care from his youth, he’ll be my most obedient grandson. Make


    sure you find Zion, no matter the cost!"


    The more Nanny Zhang spoke, the angrier Mango became.


    This old b*tch called Rita worthless but she treated Zion otherwise because he was male.


    Furthermore, she wanted to take advantage of Zion''s youth to control him, so this was simply too


    vile for Mango!


    Nanny Zhang and Sisi walked past the barrel that Mango hid in, and she was so afraid that she


    didn''t dare breathe at all.


    Eventually, their footsteps faded away and it seemed like they had left the cave. Only then did


    Mango dare to open the lid of the barrel before she took in a lungful of fresh air.


    How could she get the news out?


    She wouldn''t be able to do so if she stayed here!


    Furthermore, she couldn''t keep hiding alone in the mountains as this matter concerned Rita and


    Nathaniel’s safety. So, she needed toe up with a n to ry the news to them, or perhaps


    she could return to Ocean City herself.


    However, this presented another huge problem, which was how could Mango leave the camp?


    Mango''s mind raced as she tried to think of a n, but she knew that staying here was not a


    permanent solution. After that, she climbed out of the barrel and she quickly walked in the direction


    where Nanny Zhang and Sisi came from.


    The cave was their temporary dwelling, so Mango wasn''t sure if she''d discover something useful


    there.


    As Mango walked, she realized that there was no one else here. It seemed that Zack was very


    confident that no one would find Nanny Zhang and Sisi here to be sox in terms of security.


    Mango felt as if she''d entered a different world after she walked into the cave.


    There were two small caves linked together and they were decorated into makeshift bedrooms,


    which filled with all the required furnishings, including food.


    The food here was not very nutritious or fresh as it was mostly instant noodles or dried biscuits, and


    manyrge vessels of mineral water were stacked up in the room.


    Mango quickly grabbed some biscuits and put them in her pocket.


    She hadn''t brought anything out with her from her room, so she took some biscuits in fear of herself


    starving to death.


    Mango looked around before she noticed that there was aptop here.


    Since Zack had jammed the signal, would Mango be discovered if she sent a message using their


    internalwork?


    Clearly, Mango was not very well- versed inputers.


    Now, she really wished that Zion was by her side. Honestly, it would be great if he was here as he


    would definitely have a n to get out of this ce.


    In the end, Mango did not dare to alert the enemy.


    She quickly searched the cave but she did not find anything of note. After that, she hurriedly left the


    cave as she was afraid that she''d run into Nanny Zhang and Sisi when they returned.


    Unfortunately, Mango heard footsteps approach in her direction from the outside.


    Mango had no escape and it seemed inevitable that she would run into the people that had entered


    the cave. Just then, her back hit the wall and she inexplicably felt a faint warmth.


    The faint warmth and the texture of the wall felt different, and it reminded her of the touch of wood.


    Mango’s brows knitted and she turned before she roamed around with her hand, only to find a door


    in the wall.


    Then, she pushed open the door without thinking.


    However, Mango was extremely stunned after she entered the room.


    Iron cages filled the room and arge number of women were locked inside them. Some of the


    women were elderly and some were young, but they all seemed to be unconscious.


    Mango was astonished, but she calmed herself down quickly.


    Then, she recalled her experience of being sold as a ve.


    Now, it turned out that Nanny Zhang was involved in that!


    What did Nanny Zhang intend to do with the people that she captured? Did she intend on trafficking


    them overseas?


    Nevertheless, Mango felt very upset as she saw the women were being locked up in cages as if


    they were animals.


    Visions of Mango being sold resurfaced in her mind once again.


    She knew better than anyone what consequences these women would face after they were sold off.


    Then, Mango quickly unlocked the cages, and she awakened the unconscious women by sshing


    cold water over them.


    "Who are you?" The women were very afraid, but they dared not speak loudly. Plus, Mango knew


    that they had been beaten badly at the sight of the wounds on their bodies. They didn''t dare to have


    any courage now.


    Mango took a deep breath before she spoke, "I''ve unlocked the cage for you so that you can


    escape. This is an isted ind and the ocean is a few hundred meters north of here. After that,


    you''re on your own."


    The women were quite surprised and some of them were skeptical of Mango, but they still hurriedly


    got up before they ran outside.


    If there was the slightest chance for them to return home, they were willing to take the risk.


    Then, Mango suddenly remembered the footsteps outside.


    "Hold up! There might be someoneing from the outside, so just wait for a moment before you


    leave."


    The women immediately stopped in their tracks as soon as they heard Mango''s words.


    Apparently, they had designated Mango as their leader now.


    The footsteps outside came ever closer, and Mango'' s heart rate spiked at the sound.


    Frankly, Mango had no idea if they could manage to escape at all.


    Then, someone on the outside finally spoke.


    "Where’s Nanny Zhang?"


    "She might have gone out."


    The voices belonged to two men, and they were the men that had tried to capture Mango earlier


    that day.


    She could still remember their voices.


    Meanwhile, Mango sped her hands together tightly as she wondered if the two men would enter


    the room.


    Then, she heard one of the men spoke, "Check to see if there’s any sign of Mango being here, or


    else, we should leave as soon as possible. Nanny Zhang and Sisi are not to be trifled with, and God


    knows what they''d do to us if they found out we were here."


    "Those two women are such b*tches, I have no idea why Mr. Yan is under theirmand."


    The other man spoke as he sighed and shook his head.


    "Haven''t you heard that Mr. Van''s wife and children have been captured by Nanny Zhang? If not,


    why would he even take hermands?"


    Mango''s heart suddenly skipped a beat.


    Nanny Zhang had captured Mr. Yan''s wife and kids?


    Then, it was no wonder that he betrayed Nathaniel.


    However, it did not absolve Zack from helping Nanny Zhang!


    The other man sighed and said, "Ah, I feel sorry for Mr. Yan. At first, he was frequently absent from


    his wife and children while he was in the military, so it caused his wife to fall out of love with him and


    she filed for divorce as well as the custody of the children. Mr. Yan felt indebted to his wife, so he


    agreed to the divorce but who could have expected that his family would have been captured the


    next time he reached out to them? Honestly, I feel bad to see a resilient and loyal man like him


    sacrifice his integrity for his family.”


    "Forget it, let’s search the ce quickly and leave if we can''t find her. I don''t think we’ll even have


    the chance to exin ourselves if we run into that insane b*tch, Nanny Zhang."

    The other man spoke hurriedly.


    After that, the two of them searched the cave thoroughly.


    Mango''s instantly felt her heart rate spike.


    Would they discover this ce?
