Chapter 1021


    "Alright, you should follow your heart then. By the way, we should hang out at Windsor Square the


    following day. I''ve never met your wife much, so my wife suggested that we could spend some time


    together then."


    Nathaniel nodded after hearing Noah''s suggestion.


    "Sounds good."


    After hanging up the phone, he recalled that Mango had personally visited Esther to settle Rita''s


    problem.


    Five years ago, he hadn''t sorted out his feelings for Mango yet. Thus, he didn''t introduce Mango to


    his other buddies. Thus, it was time to bring Mango to meet them after both of them had gone


    through various hardships together.


    Then, Nathaniel put his phone aside and took a shower before he went back to bed.


    When he remembered that he had an operation the next morning and he could no longer have sex


    with Mango for half a month, Nathaniel kissed Mango once again.


    Mango felt slightly ufortable while she was lying on her stomach. She wanted to turn over and


    change her sleeping position, but she never expected Nathaniel to kiss her instead.


    "Um... hmm ..."


    Mango tried to shove him away, but Nathaniel was too strong.


    Thus, they ended up tossing around in bed the whole night.


    Nathaniel didn''t let go of Mango until it was four o''clock in the morning.


    Mango was extremely exhausted, and she felt that her body was about to fall apart.


    She mournfully looked at Nathaniel and said, "Urgh! What kind of medicine did you take? You have


    such insane stamina!"


    "Well, I miss you so much because I haven''t touched you for such a long time."


    Nathaniel felt slightly guilty, but he did not regret what he had done.


    After hearing his reply, Mango shot him a re before lifting her leg to kick him.


    "Urgh! I''m so tired. Let me get some sleep. Make something for Rita to eat when she wakes up


    later. Also, about Elena and Lawrence..."


    "I''ll take care of it. All you need to do now is to get some rest. By the way, where do you want to go


    for our vacation?"


    Nathaniel remembered clearly what Mango had told him when she came to visit him in prison. She


    had said that she wanted to go on a trip with him.


    Mango couldn''t think anymore because she was exhausted, and she was about to fall asleep. When


    she heard Nathaniel''s words, she subconsciously replied, "We can go anywhere as long as I''ll be


    with you..."


    Nathaniel''s lips curled up slightly when he heard her answer.


    “Let''s go to Ango then."


    "It''s up to you. I want to get some sleep."


    Then, Mango turned her head to another side and fell asleep.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel looked at her with a doting gaze.


    After all, he needed to make sure that she couldn''t wake up tomorrow due to exhaustion so that he


    could go to his operation secretly!

    He shook his head and lifted the nket. Then, he went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water.


    He wiped Mango''s body using a hot towel before changing her into a clean nightgown. After taking


    a shower, he directly went to the study.


    He had heard about what happened to Rita when he returned home. However, he noticed that


    Mango had handled the matter well. Hence, he decided that hand over any new evidence to the


    authorities.


    Nathaniel had decided to visit Brantley after that.


    After all, Lawrence had a casual rtionship with Queena before. They also had a daughter named


    Andrea.


    After all, even if Brantley didn''t want to admit the truth, Andrea was still Queena''s child. If he wanted


    to deal with Lawrence, he certainly needed to seek Brantley''s approval.


    Nathaniel took this opportunity to put on his clothes and drove out of The Ye''s Mansion. He then


    went straight to the hospital.


    After visiting her father, Rainie had fallen asleep by Thomas''s bed.


    Nathaniel could smell an unusual aroma in the room when he arrived. Thus, he quickly covered his


    nose.


    "How long are you going to use this sleeping incense on Rainie? Aren''t you worried that it will


    damage her health if you use it too much?"


    Nathaniel said in a deep voice.


    Thomas had been lying on the bed, but he sat up once he heard Nathaniel''s voice. At the same


    time, a trace of distress shed across his eyes.


    "Well, I didn''t expect her toe back suddenly.


    When Madam took her to City B to develop her new career, I thought she wouldn''t be back for a


    long time."


    Thomas lifted the quilt and got out of bed. He picked up Rainie and put her on the bed. After that,


    he covered her with the quilt and adjusted the temperature in the ward before telling Nathaniel,


    "Let''s talk outside."


    "Alright."


    Nathaniel turned and left the ward after saying that.


    Then, both of them went to the terrace.


    Nathaniel handed Thomas a cigarette.


    Thomas lit it. He then took a deep breath and suddenly let out a racking cough.


    "Did you quit smoking?"


    "Nah, I just cut down the number of times I smoked."


    Thomas only took another puff of the cigarette after he had gotten used to the smoke. Then, he took


    out a thumb drive from his pocket and handed it to Nathaniel.


    "All the evidence about Bernard''s misdeeds are inside. This includes records of himundering the


    company''s money and information about the witnesses of the homicide that he did overseas. In


    addition, during this period, I managed to mingle around with the executives of the Bernard''s


    company. Through this, I found that several politicians and army officers are working together with


    him. So, I''ve also put their names inside this folder."


    Nathaniel was not surprised by Thomas''s words at all.


    After all, Bernard had managed to leave scot-free even after the police had arrested Kolton. This


    meant that he hadundered the illegal proceeds that he had earned. However, he couldn''t have


    erased all traces of his actions. Hence, Nathaniel became more alert when the police never


    suspected Bernard.


    Thus, he was waiting for an opportunity to send one of his subordinates to Bernard''spany to


    investigate this issue.


    This was a risky job. After all, the subordinate he sent had to be skilled in both fighting and


    strategising. Hence, Thomas was the best candidate to take on this job.


    Nathaniel did hesitate for a moment after he had thought about it. After all, Thomas was Rainie''s


    boyfriend. However, Thomas volunteered to do the task, so Nathaniel could not refuse him.


    Thomas also had a military status too.


    To protect the army''s blueprint at that time, both Nathaniel and Thomas decided to request a


    transfer at the same time. In fact, Nathaniel had always kept his military status a secret as well.


    Looking at the thumb drive in his hand, Nathaniel whispered, "Do you want to go back to the military


    area?"


    Thomas abruptly paused after hearing his question.


    "Commander, are you going back?"


    Thomas changed the way he addressed Nathaniel immediately.


    Nathaniel looked at Thomas. He could tell that Thomas still missed the army through thetter''s


    gaze.


    Then, he said softly. "You don''t have to consider what I will do, and you should decide after thinking


    about it carefully on your own. If you want to go back, I will give you this information as a stepping


    stone to advance your career. Then, I will let the boss know that I want you to take over my spot.


    With this, you will be promoted from a lieutenant to amander immediately."


    Obviously, Thomas could tell that Nathaniel had made a decision after hearing what Nathaniel had


    said.


    He smiled and replied, "I''ll follow you anywhere you go. Besides, I think of you as a brother now that


    we''ve fought so many battles together. I''ve always been your subordinate, so why should I stay in


    the army alone without you?"


    "Nah, you shouldn''t decide so quickly. Think about it carefully because you went through a lot of


    hardships for this promotion too. Besides, you''re not married yet, so you should tell Rainie the truth


    and discuss it with her. Then, you can tell me your decision after that."


    Then, Nathaniel patted Thomas''s shoulder and whispered, "Gise will arrive in Ocean City in


    around two hours. So, I''ll make sure to put all these things to an end. So, shouldn''t you stop


    pretending to be in a vegetative state by now?"


    "Yeah, I''ll do that."


    Thomas nodded in reply.


    Both of them looked at the sky outside. The sun was rising, and dawn was breaking. Theyughed


    subconsciously and say, "The darkness is soon over, and the daybreak ising. I guess Ocean


    City will finally be peaceful again soon."


    However, Nathaniel whispered in reply, "Well, you know that all humans are greedy, and greed is in


    all of our blood. It might be peaceful once we solve this issue, but I''m sure that another problem will


    arise soon. Sometimes, I miss serving in the army because no one will scheme against us secretly


    there. So, I guess we''re really born to serve in the army, huh?"


    "However, you have Madam now. Therefore, you''re reluctant to leave here even though you know


    that you will only face more dangerous situations here, right?"


    The corners of Nathaniel''s lips curled up slightly when he heard Thomas'' question.


    "I guess we''re both like pots calling the kettle ck."


    Both of them exchanged a smile at each other after saying that.


    "Let''s go back. It''s almost dawn. Quickly extinguish the sedative incense and open the window to


    vent the room. Now, you should probably think of a way to confess your sins to Rainie. I hope she


    doesn''t scold you too much! Haha!"


    "Mr. Ye, are youughing at my demise right now?"


    Thomas was depressed when he remembered that he had to solve this problem soon.


    However, Nathaniel smiled and said nothing in reply. Instead, he patted Thomas'' shoulder and left


    the ward.


    He didn''t go back home, and he went straight to the military region instead.


    When Morgan received Nathaniel''s call, it wasn''t even time for the morning roll call yet.


    Thus, Morgan draped a coat around himself beforeing out.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel stood outside the military region and looked at the familiar surroundings with


    a grateful expression.


    If he did not have Mango right now, he wouldn''t hesitate to return and serve in the army alongside


    his fellow soldiers. However, he didn''t think that he could leave his wife and children at the moment


    right now.


    Well, he would be lying if he said that he didn''t regret his decision.


    However, he had so many other regrets, but Mango was far more important than all of them.


    Meanwhile, Morgan came out just in time to see Nathaniel looking at the national emblem in a


    trance.


    After that, the national emblem was the pride of every soldier.


    "So, did you change your mind? Are you nning toe back?"


    Morgan''s voice came from behind.


    Only then did Nathaniel turn around and tidy up his clothes. He stood with his legs closed together


    and gave a standard military salute to Morgan.


    "Chief, I''m here to deliver something."


    "What is it?"


    Morgan gave Nathaniel a military salute and then took the thumb drive from Nathaniel''s hands.


    "Thomas risked his life to get the names of the employees and other evidence from GMS


    Corporation, Bernard''spany. Thus, I still want him to take the credit for this no matter whether


    he decides to return to the army or not."


    Morgan understood what Nathaniel was trying to tell him immediately!


    "Was the car ident an act?"


    "Well, it wasn''tpletely fake. Bernard really asked Diago to send someone to run over Thomas,


    but he naturally escaped with his agility. Thus, it only left a scratch on him."


    Nathaniel exined the truth to Morgan.


    Morgan then asked in a low voice, "What about the driver? I heard that the driver was his girlfriend''s


    neighbour?"


    "I think Diago paid him to keep it a secret. He was extremely frightened after the incident, so


    Thomas found himter and protected him. He kept the truth a secretpletely, so his wife and


    children literally did not know it. Besides, Thomas will let him go once the evidence inside has been


    proven to be true. So, I guess we''ll cooperate with the army in this."


    Nathaniel told Morgan the whole story.


    "We didn''t know that Diago was the one who hired him to run over Thomas, so I initially thought that


    it was Bernard. Hence, I decided to track Bernard and y along so that I could find out the truth.


    However, I didn''t expect to find out that so many officials were working behind him! Some of them


    are even the military executives."


    After all, these greedy officials would ept bribes and protect the guilty criminals. Hence, the army


    took action secretly as they wanted to get rid of all these corrupted military officials together.


    Both Nathaniel and Thomas had military statuses. Thus, they had requested a transfer previously to


    carry out some tasks for the army. Hence, Morgan had handed over this operation to both of them


    as well.


    Now that this operation was sessful, Nathaniel hade back to give Morgan his findings, so


    the army would naturally take care of the rest.


    After all, the army would have to interrogate and look into the officials on this list. On the other hand,


    Nathaniel also had his own ns for Bernard as well.


    Meanwhile, Morgan found that the thumb drive in his hand was indeed burdensome.


    "Both you and Thomas had left the military region and mingled around in society for years for these


    ck sheep. Now I wonder if both of you are willing toe back."


    "Sir, I..."


    "Don''t give me an answer now because I won''t ept it. You should think about it carefully before


    giving me a reply. Go back and rest now, alright? Let''s hang out the following day."


    "Alright."


    Nathaniel did not refuse Morgan''s offer. After saying goodbye to Morgan, he drove back to the Yes


    Mansion.


    Mango was still sleeping soundly while Rita was in good condition as well.


    Nathaniel suddenly realized that this was indeed a peaceful and tranquil moment.


    In fact, he was willing to give up anything so that he could have more peaceful moments like these.
