Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 575: They Managed to Change the Trial Time

The phone connected quickly. Jared spoke in a cold voice, "This is Jared, Deputy Director of the Ashbury X Bureau

Headquarters. My third squad leader, Hayden, is currently detained in the military prison and is scheduled for

trial tomorrow morning. We request a delay in the trial time. Our director, Linden Shaw, still has issues to

address. | repeat, we request a delay in Hayden's trial as Director Linden still has unresolved issues!" After

speaking, Jared hung up the phone and took out a public screen to directly contact the Clearwater headquarters.

If Hayden was still to be tried tomorrow, he wouldn't hesitate to storm the military prison himself. This message

was visible to everyone in the X Bureau. Everyone was furious. Hayden was merely carrying out a task assigned

by senior leadership, and now they were trying to make him take the fall alone-how could this be possible? If this

continued, who would still be willing to give their all for the X Bureau?

The uproar triggered an emergency response; the people at the X Bureau headquarters had not anticipated this

and had to urgently reschedule Hayden's trial. They silenced the public screens of all team members to prevent

the situation from escalating. But now that the matter had spread, it had reached an uncontrollable point; both

the headquarters and Linden had to give an explanation!

"Jared, doing this could ruin your future. Is it worth it?" Linden asked. Jared, with a stern face, put away the

public screen, "I've never cared about my future." Saying this, he sat down, took out his phone, and sent a

message to Tina, informing her of Hayden's situation. Then, looking at Linden, he continued, "I have plenty of

tto wear you down, Chief Linden. Aren't you going to tell the truth?"

Linden also stood up from the floor and sat on the sofa, easing himself a bit as a twitch of pain crossed his lips,

but he endured it. "Before | took office, | was given a task. My superiors wantedto obtain the biochemical

weapon data that the White family was researching so that the X Bureau could develop it themselves. You've

been in the bureau long enough to know that the X Bureau is divided into two factions. One faction belongs to

the hidden families, and you becdeputy director with the help of the Brookes family."

"One faction is the X Bureau itself. The two factions complement each other, but with different responsibilities.

Now, we want to integrate the hidden families with the X Bureau itself. Do you understand now?"

Jared couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, "Since when did the X Bureau becthieves?" Linden, hearing the

sarcasm in Jared's words, shrugged helplessly, "I know it's wrong, but there's no choice. The task is the task,

everything is decided by the upper leadership, and we just execute."

Jared fastened his cufflinks, "Which leader? | want to meet him." Linden looked at Jared bluntly, "You're not

qualified yet. | can't decide on this matter, Jared. If you want to save Hayden, you still need to find the hidden

families. I'm powerless." Jared narrowed his eyes, "Initially stealing Paula's new bomb, ‘Morning Glory," caused

weapons to flood the market, and now you want to steal secrets. You seem quite adept at this sort of thing."

Linden paused, "I admit that when we took 'Morning Glory' from Paula, it was for this mission, but how did it end

up on the market?" Jared narrowed his eyes; Linden's expression didn't seem feigned.

Didn't he know that the "Morning Glory" was placed on the Hancock family yacht? Linden's expression was also

very grave, "Make yourself clear, where exactly has the 'Morning Glory' gone? Does it have anything to do with

GTO?" "Aren't you working for the leader? Ask them yourself." Jared ignored him and walked out of the office.

Since Linden wouldn't disclose who this so-called leader was, he decided to find out himself.

The Brookes family. Tina had just arrived. Brandon and Jack were sparring in the yard. Seeing Tina, Brandon

smiled, "My niece, you've cjust at the right time. You can referee for us-whoever loses takes out the trash

tomorrow morning!" Grandpa Brookes, watching from the side, noticed Tina's pale face, "Scarlett, Rachel, take

Kiki and Mimi away." Scarlett, too, noticed Tina's distress and quickly picked up Kiki, while Rachel reluctantly led

Mimi away. As she left, she looked back at Tina, worried about her reason for coming.

The yard quieted down, and the sparring between Brandon and Jack cto an abrupt end. "Tina, what

happened?"

"Grandpa, it's my brother; he's suspected of stealing biochemical weapon secrets from the White family and is

now detained in the Clearwater military prison. | could get him out, but | don't want to go down that road, so I'm

here for your help," Tina said, biting her lip. She could save Hayden regardless of the consequences, but that

wasn't what Hayden would want. He wanted to stay at the X Bureau; she could only do her best.

Grandpa Brookes frowned, "Girl, this is no small matter. How can you be sure your brother is innocent?" Tina

showed Grandpa Brookes the message from Jared, "Jared has already confronted Linden; it was all his doing."

Grandpa Brookes nodded, "Your little brother is taking the fall for someone."

Meanwhile, Brandon had called the X Bureau to check the situation and then cover. "Tina, your brother is

not just taking the fall for someone; all of this, including Jared's involvement, has nothing to do with the central

office; it's all Linden's orders. Someone inside the X Bureau has given Linden a carte blanche, and it seems to be

targeting the hidden families."

Tina was stunned, then realized, "Linden wants to steal the White family's secrets to break into the hidden

families?" Brandon nodded, "Yes. Although Linden has been working undercover outside, he never stopped

investigating the hidden families. He wants to undermine their strength. His years of effort have not been in

vain. Now, they are also investigating the young lady from the White family to see if she colluded with Hayden."

No wonder Paula was detained; it seems the White family wanted to protect their child and thus didn't pursue

further. As long as Hayden was tried, all the blcould be pinned on him, and everyone else would be safe.

Tina shattered the stone table in the yard with a slam of her palm, "Linden dared to use my brother as a

scapegoat, he's really asking for trouble!"

Grandpa Brookes understood Tina's anger and signaled Jack to bring sointment for her, "Girl, don't worry,

I'm here for your brother. He won't have any trouble and will be restored to his position." Tina nodded, her task

now was to figure out what exactly Linden was up to and the identity behind that carte blanche.
