Chapter 983
Lebanon was a little surprised when he received Nathaniel''s call. After all, not everyone could find
out what he was doing easily. Plus, Nathaniel called immediately after he had settled this issue. This
surprised Lebanon, and he began to fear Nathaniel immediately.
"What? I don''t understand what you''re talking about."
Lebanon was not a fool. The rtionship between him and Nathaniel wasn''t harmonious. Therefore,
it was too dangerous for him to expose his identity.
Nathaniel was also someone smart. His voice deepened a bit as he heard what Lebanon said.
"Lebanon, I''m not your enemy, so you don''t have to be so cautious around me. Gise is no one
important, but she suddenly went missing once she arrived at Ango. I couldn''t think of anyone
else that''s capable enough to do this other than you. However, aren''t you afraid that your siblings
will notice something if you did this? You''re having a hard time growing your influence recently,
right? Why don''t we form an alliance?"
Lebanon was stunned by Nathaniel''s words.
He was very surprised.
He had done everything alone all these years. After all, he had lived alone, survived alone, nned
everything alone, and even walked forward alone.
He felt a bit ufortable now when he heard that Nathaniel wanted to form an alliance with him.
"Mr. Ye, I remember that you told me not long ago to stay away from Mango."
"Hah, I still think the same way, so I hope you stay away from her. I wanted to form an alliance with
you because of your rtionship with Mango. Besides, I know also how difficult your state is. As a
businessman, I''ll get benefits by coborating with you."
Nathaniel immediately threw Mango out of the picture.
He would never get his wife involved in politics.
Lebanon frowned tightly.
"My mother was still worried about Mango when she was on her deathbed. She told me to find for
Mango no matter what, so..."
"Mango is living a good life now, so I believe your mother would also beforted. After all, no
mother would hope to see their children getting involved in a political crisis? You can''t escape from
it, so you couldn''t help but struggle with this. However, I believe you know that Mango can stay out
of it. She would only be safe without you all."
Nathaniel interrupted Lebanon''s words.
Lebanon was deep in thought.
He would''ve epted Mango as his sister immediately if he wasn''t thinking of her sister. Why would
he allow Nathaniel to speak to him this way?
Putting Mango aside and thinking from a businessman and politician''s perspective, Lebanon had to
admit that Nathaniel was right.
"To be honest, I don''t have much ambition. I only want to stay alive. Therefore, Mr. Ye, I can''t give
you the wealth you want."
Nathaniel looked at the traffic outside. He suddenlyughed and said, "Lebanon, do you think that
you''ll have the opportunity to live if you don''t have the authority and power to stand at the top? It
would be fine if you wanted to live a in life, but you''re not satisfied with this. You say that it''s
because you want to save your life, but what''s up with your soldiers? You''ve hidden them for so
long. Do you really think that you have no intentions at all?"
Lebanon''s eyes narrowed a little, and his heart was surging.
Not many people could guess what he was thinking.
His siblings only put down their guard around him when he stopped being involved in politics after
he became sessful in the entertainment industry.
However, Nathaniel was right.
He was not satisfied!
His mother''s death wasn''t an ident. He wanted to take revenge!
However, he was not capable enough, so he could only live cautiously. He did not even mind
lowering his identity and entertain others by being an artist.
If Gise hadn''t attacked Mango, he wouldn''t have exposed the secret force that he was hiding.
After Nathaniel saw that Lebanon was silent, he continued to say, "Now that I''ve exposed you, I''m
sure that your devious siblings can do the same. Now, you can only coborate with me if you want
to hide. Trust me. I will not hurt you because of your rtionship with Mango, and I''ll even help you
with the money and authority I have. I can even help you to step onto the ce everyone was
craving for. Join forces with me. This will benefit you greatly, Lebanon, my dear brother-inw."
Lebanon''s mouth twitched when he heard Nathaniel''sst words.
Who was the one who had asked him to stay away from him?
Who was the one who had chased him away fiercely?
How could he call him brother-inw now?
Wasn''t Nathaniel an indifferent and inhuman person?
Who the hell was his brother-inw?
Thoughts were running furiously in Lebanon''s mind.
Nathaniel was right indeed. He needed external help.
Lebanon wanted to find an opportunity to get in touch with the Hans family previously. After all, they
were powerful in the military and business. However, he couldn''t help but hesitate now that
Nathaniel had volunteered to help him.
Nathaniel seemed to have guessed Lebanon''s thoughts. He said in a low voice, "Don''t think about
the Hans family. The rtionship between your mother and the Hans family is sensitive. Once you
find them, your siblings will take action when they hear the news, even if you haven''t done anything.
Do you think you''ll still win? I''m different. Nobody knows about Mango''s identity for the time being,
but your siblings will not investigate Mango''s identity for no reason. Therefore, she will be safe if you
stay away from her. However, I''m a businessman, and I have nothing to do with you. Nobody would
expect us to form an alliance, right?"
Lebanon had to admit that Nathaniel was right.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Make use of your connections and send my men to your country. Then, hand Gise to me.
Nobody will suspect you even though Gise had been kidnapped. You can continue to pretend to
be innocent when they have their eyes on me."
Lebanon''s frown deepened when he heard what Nathaniel said.
"Have you made up your mind? You might be cklisted forever if you kidnap someone in Ango.
You can never enter Ango again!"
That''s why I want to push you up to the throne. Even if I was cklisted in your country, I would be
able to be released with your permission once you got onto that ce, isn''t it? Plus, if you really
want Mango to be able to pray your mother one day, you will have to be a great support to her to be
able to do that, isn''t it? Lebanon, if you want to get to that ce and revenge, I can help you. I just
want my wife to be safe."
Lebanon was silent.
He had been good at disguising himself.
He had nned every step cautiously from the day he nearly died when he was still a child. He had
made detailed ns to escape by joining the entertainment industry. However, Nathaniel actually
saw through his motives easily.
Lebanon was a little scared to be honest.
He didn''t dare to be enemies with him!
Nathaniel was right. He would help him because of his rtionship with Mango. However, Lebanon
really wanted to recognise his sister officially.
After all, she was the only person he cared about in the world.
"Nathaniel, I can help you. At the same time, I can make a visa for you and Mango. However, I have
one request."
"Tell me."
"I hope you can bring her here to pay respects to my mother, is that ok?"
Lebanon''s request was simple, but it was still a great risk for Mango and Nathaniel.
"Hmm... I need to think about it. Plus, you know that Mango can''t go there now."
"I understand. Don''t worry, I can wait."
"I''ll hang up first then."
Nathaniel hung up the phone, and there were mixed emotions in his eyes.
Nathaniel had nothing to lose by joining forces with Lebanon.
In the beginning, Nathaniel did not want to interfere with another country''s politics. However,
Mango''s brother was not involved. If Mango found out the truth one day, the person she would care
for most would still be Lebanon.
Nathaniel sighed.
He got even depressed as he looked at the cigarette in his hand that he couldn''t smoke.
He threw the cigarette into the trash can and went back to the ward.
Mango had already fallen asleep. Her brows were always closely knitted together due to her injury.
Nathaniel''s heart ached. He knew that Mango liked his cooking, so he went out and requested a
room from the hospital management and turned it into a kitchen. He got his men to send
ingredients, and he cooked century egg porridge in the kitchen for Mango.
Mango woke up as she heard the phone ringing.
She couldn''t help but be stunned for a while as she saw the unfamiliar number on the screen.
However, she still answered the call.
"Who is this?" "It''s me. I''m Pinksy."
Mango was slightly taken aback when she heard Pinksy''s voice.
"Pinksy?"
Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.
"Yes, I saw your news online. Are you alright now?"
Pinksy''s call surprised Mango.
"I''m fine. Haha. I''m still alive, right?"
"I saw that you were seriously injured. Um...I didn''t have time to visit you, so I called to check how
you were doing."
Pinksy was still in her confinement period, so she naturally couldn''te. However, Mango was still
touched by her sincerity.
They were not very close, but Mango still felt that Pinksy was someone with good intentions. In fact,
Mango knew that Pinksy was only calling her to tell her about her abortion, but she was fine with it.
"It''s okay. I can hold on. However, you should take care of your body. Go to the drama crew once
you''re healthy enough. I''ll get my men who are protecting you to withdraw soon."
Pinkly was relieved after Mango had said those words clearly.
She had been lucky to meet Mango. Now that Mango was injured, she wasn''t sure of the situation
at the crew site, and she was afraid that Mango would not keep her promise. Pinksy feltforted
and med herself for being narrowminded after hearing Mango''s words.
"Sorry, Mrs. Ye, I..."
"Nothing. I like talking with people like you. You''re always straightforward in whatever you do."
Mango didn''t find it annoying. The entertainment industry wasplicated, and people had evil
intentions. Hence, she felt that meeting Pinksy was a blessing.
Pinksy hung up the phone after the both of them chatted for a while more. After all, they will not
close with each other yet.
Mango could no longer fall asleep.
She was a little hungry. When she wanted to call Nathaniel, a nurse pushed open the door and
came in.
"It''s time for your injection."
Mango couldn''t see the nurse''s face clearly as thetter was wearing a mask. However, her voice
sounded vaguely familiar.
