    Chapter 1057


    Andrea?


    Mango thought that she was mistaken.


    She quickly looked at her watch and saw that it was half-past five in the evening.


    Didn''t Andrea say that she would arrive at eight o''clock in the evening?


    Why was she here so early?


    Besides, Mango couldn''t see Dn anywhere.


    Did something happen?


    At that moment, Mango''s mind was running fast.


    She could not let Andrea disappear from her sight.


    Otherwise, she would have failed all her ns.


    At that time, Morgan''s men weren''t here yet as they nned toe at six o''clock, so there was


    still half an hour left until their arrival time.


    However, Andrea would have left the ce and disappear if she waited for another half an hour.


    Mango''s brows were tightly knitted together.


    Indeed, unexpected situations were bound to happen no matter how meticulous her arrangements


    were.


    There was no time for Mango to think about it further.


    Andrea took out her mobile phone to make a call and it seemed that she had contacted Lawrence in


    advance. Now, it was possible that Dn was at their mercy.


    Mango frowned as she quickly put on her hat and walked out of the lounge.


    Andrea was calling Lawrence, but a woman who was wearing a cap bumped into her as soon as


    the call went through. At that moment, her phone fell to the ground.


    "Are you blind?"


    Andrea became angry at that instant.


    Mango swept a nce at her phone and found that Andrea was indeed calling Lawrence.


    The corner of her lips curled up into a smile, but she lowered her cap and said in a hurry, "I''m sorry,


    I didn''t see you."


    Mango''s voice was very low and she was about to leave after apologizing, but Andrea grabbed her


    arm.


    "You bumped into me and dropped my phone yet you''re just saying ''sorry''? Do you really think I''m


    an easy-going person?"


    Andrea remained as arrogant as before despite what she had experienced previously. She felt that


    she had a backup since Lawrence was in Ocean City.


    Then, Mango sneered mockingly before she suddenly took out a syringe from her sleeve and


    approached Andrea in a swift movement. It was the syringe that Emberly had prepared for her in


    advance so that she could protect herself.


    "What do you want me to do then?"


    Mango raised her head slightly.


    At that instant, Andrea was shocked and she was about to scream for help when Mango stuck a


    needle into her body.


    "Oh, you''re a grown adult yet you''re having airsickness? I''ll help you to the lounge so that you can


    take a rest."


    As Mango spoke, she helped Andrea to Eugene''s lounge, while Andrea had passed out.


    Mango''s entire back was drenched in sweat when she returned to the lounge.


    She came up with this idea on the spur of the moment and it was fortunate the police had dispersed


    Lawrence''s men. Otherwise, she would not know what to do.


    However, she could definitely not bring Andrea out now as Lawrence''s men would surely ambush


    her once she left the ce.


    At that instant, Mango''s mind was running fast.


    What should she do?


    Dn was Nathaniel''s beloved brother and he had saved Mango back then in a foreign country.


    Although he had fallen in love with Andrea blindly, Mango felt that he didn''t deserve such severe


    punishments.


    However, no one knew if Lawrence''s subordinate harmed Dn.


    She could only wait for Morgan''s men to arrive before she could leave with them. At that time, it was


    quarter to five and Morgan would only arrive 15 minutester. Mango had no idea how long the


    medicinal effect of the stabilizer wouldst.


    So, Mango found a rope and tied Andrea up mercilessly just in case.


    She also got a towel and stuffed it Andrea''s mouth.


    Finally, it was almost six o''clock after she did all these.


    She heard the sounds of footsteps from outside.


    "Mrs. Ye, I''m Captain Eaves''s signaler. He asked me to bring you some clothes."


    Then, Mango hurriedly opened the door.

    A 17-year-old teenager was standing outside and he looked very energetic.


    He handed the bag to Mango and whispered, "I saw many unfamiliar faces on guard outside...


    Captain Eaves told you to wait for him and not to take any action on your own."


    "I''ve already taken action."


    Mango smiled bitterly.


    At that moment, the signaler was slightly startled.


    So, Mango quickly told him what happened and he immediately called Morgan.


    "Captain Eaves asked you to wait for a moment as he''ll be right here."


    "Alright."


    Finally, Mango felt secured deep down.


    Soon, Morgan arrived and he brought a group of soldiers with him.


    They were all wearing uniforms and it was very eye-catching.


    Mango quickly changed her clothes and brought Andrea out directly.


    "Sir."


    "Leave it to them. You can follow me out of the airport."


    Morgan didn''t bring many men with him, but anyone could tell that they were excellent and skillful


    soldiers.


    It was a spectacr and striking scene as they walked out of the airport.


    The soldiers got in the car, while Mango nced at the building opposite the airport before entering


    the car.


    On the other hand, Lawrence''s subordinates frowned.


    "Mr. Yu, the army is here to arrest foreign criminals who sneaked into the country. Judging from


    Morgan''s gaze, there''s probably a sniper here."


    At that moment, Lawrence''s were tightly furrowed.


    He wasn''t sure if Mango was part of them as the four noble sons of Ocean City had a good


    rtionship with each other. However, he had heard that Morgan was rigid and impartial, so he


    would never go against thew. Also, the extradition today had been arranged a few days ago, so


    there shouldn''t be any problems.


    However, Lawrence felt really uneasy deep down.


    Something must have happened in the airport as he could no longer reach Andrea.


    Now, he could only wait for Morgan''s soldiers to leave before he could go into the airport quickly to


    find Andrea.


    On the other hand, Morgan got into the car and said to Mango directly, "The car will stop at the


    corner in front. I have arranged another car and other people to protect you when you return to


    Brantley''s ce. Lawrence is not a fool and he would definitely guess that I''ve caught Andrea if he


    can''t find her. So, he might rob our car, but if he really does so, I''ll have countless reasons to shoot


    him to death."


    As he spoke, his eyes were ice-cold and Mango wasn''t used to his vibe at that moment.


    It seemed as if a human''s life was nothing to them, but Mango also knew that Lawrence deserved


    the death penalty if he really hijacked the military vehicle as he had broken thew.


    Mango nodded slightly, but she felt heavy-hearted.


    She thought of Nathaniel all of a sudden.


    Nathaniel used to be one of them, so was his life constantly being threatened too while he was on


    the battlefield?


    It was really fortunate that he could return from the battlefield safely.


    At that moment, Mango gulped subconsciously.


    Soon, the car stopped at the corner of the road as instructed by Morgan and another military vehicle


    was here.


    Mango got on the military vehicle with Andrea while Andrea was unconscious before they were


    escorted all the way to Brantley''s ce.


    As soon as she entered the house, Brantley asked Toby to untie Andrea and lock her up in the


    guest room.


    "How was it? Are you all right? My heart was thumping fast in anxiety when Morgan called me and


    told me about your n. You d*mn girl, you''re so bold... Do you know how dangerous it is to do


    this?"


    Brantley''s eyes became red-rimmed when he saw Mango return safe and soundly.


    Then, Mango hugged Brantley and said, "Grandpa, I''m sorry for making you worry. Luckily,


    everything went smoothly."


    "Huh? You would have been in trouble if it wasn''t for Morgan. I''ll break your legs if you do this


    again..."


    Just as Brantley said that, the sound of gunshots came from outside suddenly and Mango was


    frozen on the spot.


    Meanwhile, Brantley narrowed his eyes.


    "Toby, go and check out what happened. I haven''t heard gunshots in Ocean City for a long time."


    "Yes, sir."


    Then, Toby left, while Mango was terrified deep down.


    Did Lawrence take the risk?


    It seemed that he valued Andrea a lot in his heart.


    Andrea was really lucky to have a father like Lawrence who would protect her unconditionally in this


    life.


    Mango was really heavy-hearted at that moment.


    So, Brantley asked the servant to pour her a ss of hot water.


    Half an hourter, Toby came back.


    "Chief, Lawrence brought his men to attack the military vehicle. However, Captain Eaves and the


    criminal that he extradited from abroad were in the car, so Lawrence has openlymitted a prison


    robbery. Also, he had guns and weapons with him, so he and his men were shot dead after a


    gunfight. The news will probably be out tomorrow."


    As soon as Toby said that, Andrea''s sharp scream came to their ears.


    "What did you say? What happened to my dad?"


    She ran downstairs in a hurry and was about to rush out when someone stopped her immediately.


    "Let go of me! Mango Shen, tell them to get out of my way! I''m going to kill you! I want you to pay


    for my dad''s life!"


    "How dare you!"


    Brantley was furious as he swept a teacup to the ground and the sound of the ss breaking came


    to their ears.


    It was not until then that Andrea noticed that an old man was in front of her.


    Brantley had served in the military for decades, so his fierce and overbearing aura made Andrea


    shiver.


    "You... who are you? Why are you yelling at me?"


    "He''s our grandfather..."


    Then, Mango''s words stunned Andrea once again.


    Andrea never knew that she had a grandfather.


    She had always thought that Queena was an orphan since Queena had never returned to her


    parents'' ce for over 20 years.


    "Don''t lie to me, I..."


    "Shut up! Where are your manners? Toby, take her down and teach her the rules. She can''t sleep


    tonight if she can''t stand like a soldier."


    Brantley was strict and fierce, while his aura was intimidating, so Andrea dared not retort although


    she was angry.


    "Grandpa, I want to see my father."


    "Your father deserves to die as he has vited thew, so there''s no need for you to see him. From


    now on, you''re the child of the Xiao family, and our family has served in the army for generations, so


    we can''t afford to lose our reputation. You''d better stay at home obediently. Also, this is a military


    compound and the guards outside are all armed. You can go ahead and escape if you aren''t afraid


    of getting shot to death."


    At that instant, Brantley''s words made Andrea''s eyes turn red with grievance.


    "Grandpa, I..."


    "Toby, take her away."


    Then, Toby brought her away before Andrea could finish her words.


    On the other hand, Mango was about to get up and leave not that the issue here had been solved.


    However, she was really heavy-hearted as she did not expect things to turn out like that.


    Lawrence deserved the punishment, but she was depressed as she realized that a person''s life was


    really fragile.


    Many people did not appreciate their own lives...


    Mango sighed as she kindly rejected Brantley when he told her to stay and she called Desmond


    directly.


    She wanted to go back to the Ye family now and return to her familiar home with Nathaniel by her


    side.


    However, Desmond never answered her call.


    At that moment, Mango''s brows furrowed.


    Desmond was guarding at the door of the Ye''S Mansion, so nothing could have gone wrong, right?
