Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina lightly raised her hand, her fingertip tapping on Linden's finger.

Instantly, Linden felt a numbness at his fingertip, the pain causing him to fall back onto the couch, yet he kept his gaze fixed on Tina. "I indeed have disagreements with Everett and Pigeon, but our disputes are strictly professional. I have no reason to kill her. Please, show some respect!"

Linden's outburst was unexpected to Tina.

He was very concerned about what Tina had said.

Still holding his wrist, Linden stared at Tina, "Neither you nor Christopher have any reason to suspect me. It's true, I bear grudges against the hidden families and often use my work to investigate them, but as a member of the X Bureau's special forces, and now as its director, I have been true to every mission I've undertaken and to the badge I carry on my shoulders!"

"Tina, Jared, you can accuse me of negligence in my duties as director, of not caring about the future and safety of my subordinates, but you can never doubt my original intentions as a member of the X Bureau's special forces!" In Jared's eyes, Linden was far from a qualified director, not even deserving of the title.

He had sacrificed his subordinates for his personal gains, sending them to military prison as if nothing had happened.

He watched as his subordinates died because of this.

Such a person did not deserve Jared's respect!

Yet, he agreed with Linden's words.

Everyone was silent for a few minutes, no one spoke.

A few minutes later, Linden had calmed down, "My commission with the Flame Ice organization continues. Next time you visit, I hope you bring news of your master."

Linden clearly issued a dismissal, his tone somewhat unfriendly.

Tina looked back at Linden.

Linden seemed to be locked in his obsessions.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

An obsession with the hidden families, with the Solomon family.

Tina had once seen the medical records of Linden's parents before their deaths. It wasn't about any karmic retribution, but due to chronic lead poisoning. This lead, unlike ordinary lead, was mixed with many unknown toxins and substances, lingering in the body and gradually relapsing, eventually causing death by explosion.

Linden was right to keep Arthur and Audrey out of Shaw Industries' affairs.

Perhaps, the lead in his parents' bodies was due to the mine inherited by their family.

In the early days of Shaw Industries, Linden's parents often returned to the mine, and frequently faced lawsuits due to illnesses or deaths among the workers.

It was only after Shaw Industries purchased substantial medical insurance for the workers that the matter was settled.

Clearly, there was something wrong with that mine.

But it was not due to any karmic retribution, just the nature of the Solomon family's business that lent a mysterious air to the matter.

Truly, Linden was pitiable.

"Next time I see you, I hope you can tell me more about Romer, or else, you'll never find my master in this lifetime!"

Romer was Tina's final target.

Yet this person was extremely mysterious, his photographs blurry, and no clues could be found within the entire X Bureau.

If it hadn't been for his stepping forward to save Linden, which Grandpa Brookes noticed, Tina would not have found any traces of him.

Linden sharply interrupted Tina, "What exactly do you want to know about Romer? Tina, your mother's death was a suicide, it had nothing to do with anyone in the X Bureau, and definitely nothing to do with Romer. He's the one who was most upset by your mother's death. Stop being so suspicious all the time!"

Tina did not respond, but Jared stepped in front of Linden, blocking his view. "Don't drag anyone from the X Bureau into your feud with the hidden families. I won't let this go so easily either." Having said that, Jared left with Tina.

Tina did not refuse; she walked out with Jared. Jared started the car, his expression calm under the night sky. "Tina, the matter with your master shouldn't involve Linden."

"Why do you say that?" Tina asked.

Jared handed his phone to Tina. "The mysterious person sent the information to me this time."

Tina took the phone, and indeed, it was from that mysterious person. _'Linden's only target is the hidden families.'_

Tina frowned. "Last time she warned me to be careful around Linden, and now it's no issue? Is she playing me?"

Tina already had some suspicions about this mysterious person, and naturally, her resentment grew deeper. She had been deceived for so many years and this person had always been around her!

Jared ruffled Tina's hair. "She has her reasons for doing this."

Tina sighed and quietly looked out the window, observing the bustling street and scanning the faces of passersby. There was not a single familiar face that would make her rush over and confront them fiercely. Why is this happening?_ After calming down, Tina gradually came to her senses. "Let's go to my master."

Jared nodded and turned the car around toward the house prepared for Master Tam. Tina called Master Tam over, and sensing the urgency in her voice, he hurried over without delay, dropping his chopsticks.

He once again lamented, _What's the use of having a disciple! _

"Girl, what's wrong now? Did Jared bully you? Do you want me to take off one of his legs for you to play with?" Master Tam entered, holding a strawberry cake and trying to cheer up his disciple.

Tina nodded toward the sofa with her chin, signaling Master Tam to sit. Master Tam handed the cake to Jared, who silently sat on the sofa and cut the cake into small pieces for Tina to eat easily. "What's the deal with your family's mine? Is it toxic?" Tina asked.

Master Tam was momentarily puzzled before he recalled what Tina was referring to. "Oh, that mine? Definitely toxic. Even digging up an ancient tomb would expose you to noxious gases; that mine is an inheritance from our ancestors, how could it not be toxic?"

Tina narrowed her eyes. The so-called toxicity referred to the mineral substances produced by the mine, which contained excessive levels of lead and various unknown substances that might accumulate in the body during the mining process. But with proper protection, there should be no problem.

The people at Shaw Industries Group were not fools; how could they not think of this?

Tina continued to gaze at Master Tam, who reluctantly rubbed his face and continued, "The substances in that mine are indeed toxic, and ordinary protection won't suffice. It requires a specific medication to treat." "What medication?" Tina asked.

Master Tam pulled a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table. "This one."
