Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jasper clenched his fist. Mr. White had been exposed; what did she plan to do next? He gazed deeply at Tina, his expression gradually becoming more wary.

Tina had no interest in further pointless discussions with Jasper. She asked directly, “Where is the research location for the new bomb?”

Jared and she had been tracking this new type of bomb for a long time. However, whether it was Jared, the Mountain Veil Order, or Flame Ice, the information they could gather was scant. They had started their investigations from many angles, not even overlooking the car accident from before. Finally, they had a slender clue, but it was still uncertain.

Jasper remained silent. The research base for the new bomb was one of the organization’s key projects. If there were forces with the same military readiness as Agency X, the new bomb could not be destroyed. The organization was also continuously advancing the bomb’s capabilities. Before Jasper was captured, there had been the latest developments.

Tina was not in a hurry. She slowly said, “The Reed family had a banquet a few days ago and planned to auction a piece of land. That land has an abandoned factory, which you had decided to purchase back then but never utilized. Now Damian wants to sell that land to exchange for a plot in East Bay to build a hot spring plaza. Do you think that land can be sold?”

Jasper abruptly sat upright, his heart rate monitor beeping rapidly, displaying his current panic. Yet, he still clenched his teeth, refusing to speak.

But that reaction was enough.

Tina curved her lips, “Thank you, Mr. Reed.”

After speaking, Tina and Jared stood up to leave.

The Mountain Veil Order had found three potential addresses for the new bomb research, all related to the Reed family. This wasn’t surprising. The places for researching new bombs needed to be open and quiet. Naturally, while Jasper was still active, he would use the Reed family’s influence to facilitate GTO.

However, the clever rabbit has three burrows; Jasper had once bought three very similar pieces of land in one go but chose not to develop any.

If they were to storm any of these three sites, it would require a significant amount of manpower and resources. If they chose to investigate all three at once, it would inevitably create vulnerabilities.

If they stormed one based on a hunch and guessed correctly, it would be fine, but a wrong guess would alert the enemy and cause them to lose the hard-found clues.

Therefore, Tina had come to Jasper today and deliberately mentioned this. In reality, the Reed family had no intention of selling the land.

Leaving the interrogation room, Jared said to Hayden, “Return to headquarters, request to storm East Bay!”

Hayden paused, “East Bay? But that’s not Reed family’s land, are we targeting the Reed family?”

Courtney was also surprised but thought it through and understood the implication.

The three plots owned by the Reed family definitely had issues, but the biggest problem was that these three sites all surrounded East Bay.

The East Bay area was expansive, surrounded by many residential areas and had numerous transport lines, including passenger and freight vehicles, and even ports.

If any of the three Reed family sites were stormed, East Bay could immediately receive the message and escape via the port and other transport routes.

By the time they realized it, the new bomb would be long gone.

Given Jasper’s cunning, East Bay was indeed the best base location. The three plots were merely a smokescreen he had released.

Tina had looked at the map of these three plots initially and immediately focused on the direction of East Bay. Today, she had come to confirm it with Jasper.

Indeed, he did not disappoint her expectations.

Tina would not accompany Jared to headquarters. She decided to release the Shadow Lotus Seal first; if the headquarters couldn’t approve this mission, then the Mountain Veil Order would handle it themselves. If not for Jared’s current restrictions, things wouldn’t be so complicated. The team split into two groups; Tina also released the Shadow Lotus Seal, summoning all operatives in Ashbury to ambush near East Bay. Jared rushed to the headquarters as fast as he could.

Nathan and Jason, fully equipped, were just waiting for Jared to produce the orders. Ten minutes later, Jared emerged from his superior’s office, empty-handed and with a grim expression. Hayden, having changed his clothes, joined Nathan and Jason, and approached him, asking, “What’s the plan? Do we move out immediately?”

Jared clenched his fist, looked up at the three men, and ordered, “Dissolve squads two and three. Squad one, drop your arms and follow me.”

“What?” Jason exclaimed, “Captain, it’s a bomb research facility. You’re taking just the first squad without arms; are you waiting to get blown up?”

Hayden lost his temper too, “East Bay is huge, and the first squad has so few people, are you insane?”

Nathan was more composed and questioned, “Captain, what exactly is the higher-up’s intention?”

Jared took off his jacket, handed it to Nathan, and changed into a combat suit designed for stealth during reconnaissance. “The facility is surrounded by residential areas. To avoid causing panic, we need to first assess the situation before we can encircle it.”

“Damn it!” Jason kicked a trash can, “Jasper was arrested, and they’re already on alert. What if something goes wrong and they spot you?”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jason was furious, and both Hayden and Nathan couldn’t comprehend why the higher-ups were so cautious. Yet, considering the local residents, their approach made some sense and was hard to argue against. Hayden tucked his gun at his back waist and angrily removed his bulletproof vest, muttering, “This is damn frustrating.”

Their frustration was understandable; recent operations felt like punching into cotton, utterly lacking impact. Captured suspects escaped, located facilities were left unassailed, and they ended up just feeding the few minor crooks they had caught!

Jared’s reaction was less intense; he pulled out his phone and sent a text to Tina. “Tina, make your move.”

Tina, having received the message, was unsurprised. Ever since Lily was acquitted, Tina had harbored doubts about the leadership of Bureau X, though she had no evidence. Like Bureau X, a government agency, there are many factors to consider before acting, especially when surrounding a new bomb development facility.

But Tina was different; she could ensure the absolute safety of the surrounding residential buildings while attacking the lab. She didn’t need to promise anyone else, just to herself. With Bureau X, she could coordinate from the outside; without them, she could still accomplish the task.

Tina sent a message to Jayden: “Attack East Bay!”

Half an hour later, Jayden called. “Young master, we’ve come up empty.”

Tina was stunned, her expression turning dark, “What happened?”

Jayden was very apologetic, bowing his head even over the phone, “We were a step too late. By the time we arrived, the facility was already empty.”
