Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Elsa nodded, "Yes, Heath Garrison has admitted it. We found a virus on him. According to Garrison, this virus is called st-0. It's injected into every member of the spy organization. The virus alters human genes, enabling them to easily evade searches."

It was no wonder that Elsa, during her relationship with Heath Garrison, had never discovered his real identity.

It was the altered genes all along.

st-0, as the name suggests, is a precursor to st-1.

It's all about human genetics!

Elsa continued, "Tina, it looks like we're going to work together again."

Tina also smiled, "Yeah, time to collaborate again. It's time to put an end to this spy organization!"

"And Cliff Thompson..."

"Leave Cliff Thompson to me. I'll get the answers I want from him, then hand him over to you first thing tomorrow morning. Someone else will contact you after that." Elsa understood, "Alright, I'll wait for your news."

In the interrogation room of Mountain Veil Order.

Cliff Thompson gradually woke up, his entire body suspended from the ceiling, his feet dangling above a boiling cauldron.

Cliff Thompson was startled and quickly retracted his feet, shouting, "This is torture! I must tell you, even though I've been captured, I have basic human rights!"

Cole walked in, hearing Cliff Thompson's cries, "What? A spy expecting human rights?"

Cliff Thompson, knowing his cover was already blown, no longer hid his identity, "Aren't you supposed to treat prisoners well? This way, you'll regret it!"

Cole lashed him with a whip, "You really think this is a place that treats prisoners well? You don't know who you're dealing with! Speak, who directed you to traffic the cameras?"

Cliff Thompson, struck by the whip, nearly lost his soul, instantly realizing that this was not the intelligence agency.

He had been double-crossed by the underworld's Old Rat!

"I'll talk, I'll tell everything."

Facing interrogation by the intelligence bureau, Cliff Thompson could still put on airs; however, in such a shady workshop, he had to speak fast or he wouldn't even know how he might die.

"It was Boris Pace. He had me steal and sell the Reed family's cameras to spread bionic biotechnology and profit from it. He gave me a large sum of money, and I was planning to flee with it, but I got caught. I'm telling the truth!" Cole, unable to bear pulling a second lash, felt uneasy.

This man had no spine.

Surrendering after just one lash, Cole wondered how the GTO trained its people.

If it were him, he'd whip them to death rather than let them confess!NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying is true?" Cole sat down, somewhat deflated.

Cliff Thompson continued, "Yes, yes, yes, every time we met, I brought a camera to record our meetings. I have videos as proof."

Cole sighed, ordering his men to let Cliff Thompson down.

Cliff Thompson thought he was being rescued, endlessly thanking, "Big brother, thank you so much. Can I go now?"

Cole nodded, "Hmm, someone's already here to pick you up. Go ahead."

Cliff Thompson was stunned, then saw Elsa entering with her team, smiling, "Mr. Thompson, please."

Cliff Thompson, sitting on the ground, realized he hadn't escaped the intelligence bureau after all.

After taking Cliff Thompson away, Elsa conducted an overnight thorough interrogation. He spilled everything he knew, including his dealings with Boris and previous safe houses.

As the night grew longer and dreams more abundant, if GTO discovered Cliff Thompson was captured, they might evacuate. Elsa immediately led her team to the location and sent a message to Tina. On the road, Elsa received a call from Linden.

"We've been ordered; the X Bureau will assist you in apprehending the GTO spy organization," Linden said.

"Good, thank you."

00000

Elsa and Linden quickly agreed on a cooperative intention, and the entire X Bureau was mobilized.

The mission was so sudden that even before departure, no one knew exactly what the task entailed.

Even Grace was unaware of why the entire X Bureau was suddenly dispatched.

She approached Linden, who was discussing tactics with Christopher and Nathan.

"What exactly are you doing?"

Nathan was the first to lose patience.

"Miss Hancock, this is not within your responsibility."

"But I must report all matters concerning the X Bureau to my superiors. I hope you remember that everything within the X Bureau must go through me!" Linden immediately threw the documents on the table.

"Miss Hancock, do you also need to take over my position as director?"

Grace was startled.

"That's not what I meant, but Chief Linden, I must accompany you on this mission, and you can't refuse, can you?"

Linden cursed under his breath, those old heads at headquarters always caused trouble.

"Fine, you can come along, but remember, if anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

Nathan was about to object, but seeing Christopher shake his head, he remained silent.

Grace, being from headquarters, had to be included in the mission; it was an order they couldn't refuse!

Grace got her wish to stay by Linden's side, although she was still unclear about the exact nature of the mission.

She had no choice but to silently follow along.

Soon, the X Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau surrounded a location provided by Cliff Thompson.

Infrared cameras revealed bombs hidden inside the site, with characteristics remarkably similar to those of "Morning Glory."

Nathan immediately gave the order, "First squad, send a vanguard to scout the bomb layout. Second squad, provide cover. If necessary, reinforce with firepower. We must capture them alive!" Jason and Hayden led their respective teams out.

On the perimeter, Tina, holding binoculars, monitored every move.

The Mountain Veil Order members were all in position, vigilant against any that might slip through.

Courtney, the vanguard team leader, led ten people quietly around the site, using a detector to roughly locate the "Morning Glory."

She gestured to her team to spread out and begin dismantling the bombs.

Inside the command vehicle, Grace looked at the large screen and asked, "What exactly are you doing?"

"Shut up," Nathan snapped, then pressed his earpiece.

"Courtney, you have thirty seconds, hurry up!"

Courtney acknowledged Nathan's instruction.

The site resembled a resort villa, with extremely high outer walls, similar to the red walls of the Forbidden City, very well concealed.

The main gate was built lavishly, but at this time, deep into the night, it was securely locked. A small pavilion by the gate had a little window, but no light reflected out, and it was unclear if anyone was on guard. According to Cliff Thompson, there was a secret passage known only to insiders.

Courtney led her team slowly into the secret passage. Inside, it was dim, and the mission was highly sensitive, requiring absolute silence.

The advance team couldn't even turn on their lights.

They had to rely on touch and advance slowly.

Their only guide was the previously viewed infrared simulation map; relying on memory, they found the direction of the bombs and proceeded to dismantle them.
