Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Hugo’s body inexplicably trembled as he looked at her in surprise. Tina’s mother knew disguise techniques? How did he not know? Why had no one told him?

Tina, seeing his expression, smiled with satisfaction. “During my years at Serenity Ridge, I specialized in studying my mother’s disguise techniques. I did quite well. If you need it, Mr. Reed, I can help you.”

Hugo said nothing, his eyes fixed intently on Tina, trying to discern something from her face but finding nothing. He collected his thoughts and smiled. “Tina, why would I need a disguise for no reason?”

Tina curled her lips. “Mr. Reed, don’t be nervous. I’m just joking. My mother’s disguise techniques aren’t that easy to learn. I’ve only scratched the surface over the years.”

Hugo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tina shifted her gaze and got to the point. “The potion is safe with me, Mr. Reed. You don’t need to worry about it. Focus on starting your company.”

“But the potion is dangerous in your hands,” Hugo said urgently.

Tina glanced at him coolly. “The danger lies with those who try to harm the people I care about.”

With that, Tina turned and left before Hugo could react.

Hugo watched her disappearing figure, his brows tightly furrowed. After a moment, he turned and went back to his room.

Inside, Jennie saw him enter and quickly stood up to ask, “How did it go? Did you get it?”

Hugo shook his head gravely. “No.”

Jennie frowned. “She refused to give it?”

“I feel like she has discovered something.” The more Hugo thought about his conversation with Tina, the more uneasy he felt.

Jennie was shocked. “How could she find out?”

Hugo shook his head. “I’m not sure. But I feel like she was hinting at something in her words, and she seems to know a lot about the organization.”

Hugo’s eyes deepened. “This girl is not simple!”

Jennie fell silent for a moment before asking, “What do we do now?”

“No need to rush. I’m confident in my disguise skills; it’s unlikely anyone will discover me. Maybe she’s just trying to probe me.” Hugo couldn’t understand why Tina wouldn’t fully trust him despite their close relationship and kept testing him repeatedly.

After a pause, Hugo said, “But first, I need to confirm whether her mother really knows disguise techniques.”

Jennie nodded. “We’ve already lost several people; we can’t afford any more mistakes this time. The organization has ordered that if we fail again, we’ll have to answer for it with our lives!”

Hugo’s expression grew serious as he asked, “What about those two?”

“Our people are watching them closely; rest assured, no one will find them.”

After leaving the courtyard, Tina stayed at the Reed family residence to continue working on the antidote.

Due to the lack of a rare herb, the production of the antidote was slightly delayed.

While pondering where to find this herb, Lysander came knocking again.

He held an album in his hands and smiled proudly at Tina. “Tina, look what I’ve brought you.”

Tina rubbed her temples. “What are you doing here?”

Lysander was like a clingy puppy that wouldn’t leave her side.

He had been like this in their team before, wanting to follow her around 24/7.

“I’m here to show you our old competition photos!” Lysander excitedly and somewhat plaintively spread the album in front of Tina. “How many teams have won seven consecutive championships? Tina, that’s a legend you led us to create!”

Talking about this record made him emotional.

It seemed he could talk about it for days without getting tired.

The photos showed them celebrating their championship victories and having fun during team dinners.

“Tina,” Lysander finally got to the point after much buildup. “You promised you’d consider returning to the team. The season starts next month; when will you join us for training?”

He watched Tina anxiously, afraid she would refuse.

To his surprise, Tina considered briefly before agreeing. “I have time now; I can come take a look.”

Since there was no progress with Jasper and he was already on guard, she thought she might as well do something else to ease Jasper’s concerns.

“Are you serious?” Lysander’s eyes lit up with excitement, his metaphorical tail wagging furiously.

“Do I need to say it twice?” Tina raised an eyebrow lightly.

Lysander quickly shook his head wisely. “No need! I’ll inform them right away; we’ll head over immediately!”

Their training ground was in a building on the outskirts of town, an hour’s drive away.

Tina closed her eyes for a while during the drive to rest and gather energy.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Upon arrival at the training facility, Lysander couldn’t contain his excitement and rushed inside first. “Look who I’ve brought!”

The teammates who were training all looked up and were utterly astonished.

“Tina! It’s Tina!”

“Where have you been these years? We’ve been looking everywhere for you but couldn’t find any information!”

Fang Jun and Chen Yimin immediately stood up and hurried over to them, looking at Tina in disbelief.

Yu Chengyang came out of the restroom a beat late, scratching his head as he walked into the room filled with noise. “Why are you all making such a racket instead of training? Do you think we have plenty of time?”

As he walked in and saw Tina surrounded by everyone else, his jaw nearly dropped in shock. “Tina!”

He hurried over as well, his voice trembling slightly. “Are you… rejoining the team?”

Among them all, Lysander laughed most triumphantly. “I told you they’d go crazy with joy! Tina, you have no idea how much we’ve missed you!”

Tina nodded and glanced around at the equipment in the room. “I’m here to take a look.”

Including her, their team had four members; aside from Lysander who had just turned eighteen, the others were twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

In esports terms, they were considered older players.

No wonder their hand speed had slowed down and their coordination was off track since she left; they hadn’t achieved any significant results since then.

Unable to hold back any longer, Lysander shared the good news with them all excitedly: “Tina has agreed to rejoin us for next month’s season!”

“Really?” Seeing Tina again was already lucky enough; they hadn’t dared hope she would play with them again.

“Tina! You’re the soul of our team! If you’re back, we’ll definitely win!”

Chen Yimin echoed excitedly: “That’s right! We may not replicate our past successes exactly but we’ll surely be champions again!”

The team that had been downcast for years found new hope with Tina’s return.

“Tina! Look!” Lysander said proudly to her: “I knew everything would fall into place if only you’d come back-the team only has meaning with you here!”
