"What?"
Abyss subconsciously frowned, and there was a hint of alertness in his eyes.
Did he discover anything?
Nathaniel was a very sensitive person, and he naturally sensed the flash of murderous intent in Abyss's eyes.
Murderous intent?
Why did Abyss treat Nathaniel like this?
There was a hint of doubt in Nathaniel's heart, but he said with a smile, "Mr. Tang's girlfriend is very aggressive, the sign of domination of love is quite obvious."
After that, Nathaniel left with a smile.
Abyss still didn't quite understand. He stared at Nathaniel's back with his eyes, trying to tell if he had exposed anything. However, when he turned back, he saw the swelling and blood on his lips.
So that was why!
Abyss frowned slightly and swiped at his lips subconsciously.
Abyss did not dare to leave. Instead, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched Nathaniel walk out of the house.
After Nathaniel got in the car, he quickly called Thomas. "How's the investigation on my wife going?"
"It's still ongoing, but we don't have any leads. There were many people who went to buy women in the United States but they don't look like Mrs. Ye. I'm still looking into it."
Thomas was a little distressed.
This search was futile and took a lot of energy but when Thomas thought of Nathaniel's body and his upcoming operation, he had no choice but to go all out.
Nathaniel looked at Abyss's villa and said in a low voice, "Pass this over to Zack to investigate. Fly to the United States. I think there's something wrong with Abyss."
"Abyss?"
"Yes. Just in case, come over secretly and don't let anyone know. If that's easy to be discovered, take a private jet. Don't leave any traces."
Nathaniel did not know why he had such a feeling.
Abyss was unfathomable.
The two were not friends, and they could even be considered rivals in love. Nathaniel's understanding of Abyss came from Mango, and Rita had spoken highly of her godfather. But after he went to the United States, Abyss rarely showed up.
At first, Nathaniel thought that it might be because Abyss wanted to create more parent-child time for him and the child. But now it seemed that it was not.
If Abyss really treated Rita so well, how could he not visit her for so long? Although this hospital was run by the Tang family, Abyss had cared for her for five years. Nathaniel found out from a nurse that in these five years, no matter how busy Abyss was, he would always go to the hospital to accompany Rita. But now he never did it.
Unless Abyss had something more important to do.
Nathaniel suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen Abyss at Fallen Paradise when he first went there. It was just a glimpse and was hard to confirm, but now that he thought about it, it should be him.
But what was Abyss doing at Fallen Paradise?
Was it just to drink?
Moreover, with Abyss's feelings towards Mango, even if the Tang family and the Ye family cut all ties, would he be able to find a person he liked so quickly? And a woman that he was already so intimate with?
The more Nathaniel thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he was very suspicious.
Abyss owned a lot of houses, but why did he buy another recently?
And this house was not registered under Abyss's name. It was under the name of a distant relative.
If Abyss wanted to buy a house, did he need to be so secretive? Who was he guarding against?
Sweat oozed from Nathaniel's palm.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't stay for long, just in case Abyss detected something.
Nathaniel drove away at a normal pace, similar to when he first arrived. But his mood was a little heavy.
Would Mango be here?
Would Abyss imprison Mango?
Nathaniel didn't know, but he felt that he was getting closer to finding out the truth.
When the car reached the turning point, Nathaniel suddenly turned back.
Abyss watched him leave and heaved a sigh of relief. Although it was the United States and his territory, and Nathaniel couldn't make any trouble here, he just felt inexplicable pressure.
This feeling came from the moment they first met, and now it was getting increasingly obvious.
What should he do?
Should he transfer Mango?
But if he did so, wouldn't he be exposing himself?
Moreover, Mango's wounds had not recovered. What if Mango ran away in the process?
No!
It couldn't happen!
Abyss couldn't let Mango leave his sight again.
Abyss quickly said to the servant, "Take Miss Shen to the basement. I've prepared the air conditioner there. Clean up the room quickly and erase all traces." "Yes!"
Many of the servants here were confidants of Abyss, and he had hired them. In this place, Mango was just a woman, an unknown woman, while Abyss was a figure with the power of deciding life and death. No one was unsure of how they should make their choice.
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
Abyss was alert, and the look in his eyes was not very good. Obviously, he did not welcome Nathaniel back, and this sudden return made Abyss very uneasy.
However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "I forget to take my lighter."
After that, Nathaniel quickly walked into the living room and looked around, only to find that there were two strands of long hair floating on the stairs.
Nathaniel's eyes narrowed.
The hair color looked a little similar to Mango's.
Was she really here?
Nathaniel's heart was wild with joy, but he could only suppress it as much as possible.
He quickly walked to the tea table, looked around, and found his lighter on the floor.
He did it on purpose.
"So it's really here. Apologies, Mr. Tang. My wife bought this lighter for me. I bring it with me all the time. Sorry to disturb you."
Nathaniel's words left a trace of imperceptible jealousy in Abyss's eyes. Although it flashed by, Nathaniel still caught it.
Sure enough, there was something wrong!
Abyss tried his best to suppress the jealousy in his chest and said with a smile, "Since you've found it, Mr. Ye, you should go back quickly. You can't leave Rita alone. When I finish up my work in the next few days, I'll go visit her."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Tang. But can I use the bathroom?"
Nathaniel spoke again, and the corners of Abyss's mouth twitched.
Why was this man such a busybody?
But Abyss couldn't say no, so he nodded.
Nathaniel walked towards the stairs. "Mr. Ye, there is a bathroom on the first floor."
When Abyss saw that Nathaniel wanted to go to the bedroom on the second floor, he quickly opened his mouth to stop him.
At this time, the servants would not have been done cleaning up the traces in the bedroom. He could not let Nathaniel go upstairs.
At the moment when Nathaniel turned around, he grabbed the hair with his hands and smiled. "I'm used to it. I always use the toilet in the bedroom and your house layout is pretty similar to mine. Apologies."
After saying that, Nathaniel turned around with a smile, but it was only a light smile.
Nathaniel went to the bathroom and packed the strands of hair in a bag. His heart was pounding.
Would it be Mango's hair?
