Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 611: Natalie Cracks the Signal Source

Among the children of the Brookes family, Isaac was known to be the most naive, often blamed by his siblings for

any mishaps. In his absence, the blshifted to Brandon. However, it wasn't accurate to say Brandon took the

blame, as he was usually at the forefront of any trouble.

During this discussion, Jack said, "Isaac, Gavin has already brought his family to Ashbury. Alina, dad wants to

throw a party to announce your return to everyone. What do you think?"

Natalie pursed her lips, "Now is not the time." Though she had been away from X Bureau for many years, she

wasn't ready to reveal herself publicly, fearing it might attract unnecessary trouble.

At that moment, Brandon also resumed his serious demeanor. "I agree, I'm worried about that too. Jared

mentioned he's onto a suspect and is currently investigating. It's better not to go public yet."

Natalie, who hadn't heard from Jared or Tina about this, couldn't help but ask, "Tina, who are you suspecting?"

Tina hesitated and then chose not to tell Natalie, "We're still investigating. I'll tell you once we have something."

Natalie knew her daughter well enough to understand the importance of the person being investigated;

otherwise, Tina wouldn't choose to conceal it.

Clutching a beer bottle, Natalie's eyes gleamed with a strange light. Just then, Jared called. "Tina, is master

there?"

"Yes, what's up?" Tina switched her phone to speaker mode, "Go ahead!"

"Master, we found a signal source in the remnants left at Five Poisons, and we can't crack it," Jared's voice was

grave, signaling the importance of this matter.

Natalie, gripping Tina's wrist, booted up her mini-computer, "Connect it to Tina's computer."

"Okay." Jared didn't hang up and connected the signal source to Tina's computer.

Minutes later, Natalie, looking at a red dot on the satellite map, exclaimed, "It's at Linden's place, in an

apartment he bought last month!"

Jared was taken aback, "Master, are you sure it's Linden?"

"Absolutely." Natalie had checked all transaction records for the apartment, though Linden had used many

aliases to secure the purchase.

Jared sighed deeply, "Okay, got it." Just as he was about to hang up, Tina, unwilling to be left out, questioned,

"Uncle, why involve master for such a trivial issue and not me?"

After swallowing hard, Jared replied softly, "Tina, | don't want you to overstrain yourself!"

In fact, Jared and Tina were equally skilled hackers, both trained by Natalie. If Jared couldn't crack it, Tina might

not have any better luck.

With the situation urgent, Jared had directly approached Natalie. Tina, somewhat satisfied with the response,

quickly hung up before Natalie could scold her.

Natalie, draping an arm around Tina's shoulders, said teasingly, "Everyone forgets their mother when they find a

wife, seems like you're forgetting your mom after getting married!"

Tina, looking sternly at Natalie, countered, "No, it's Uncle who forgets his master after finding a wife."

Mother and daughter shared a laugh. Meanwhile, Jared, having hung up, immediately set off for the apartment

where the signal originated. He informed no one inside X Bureau, not due to mistrust but because he was

headed to confront the head of X Bureau, and it wouldn't be appropriate to involve anyone internally.

Near the apartment, Jared had all the exits and intersections secured. He then rang the apartment's doorbell. A

light was on inside, and a shadow moved slowly towards the door. With a click, the lock was undone, but the

door didn't swing open. Jared, with a slight smirk, kicked the door open.

Inside, Linden was holding a gun, pressing it directly against Jared's forehead, while Jared firmly grasped Linden's

neck. Linden, surprised at seeing Jared, flashed a look of astonishment. "Why is it you?" he asked.

"Why can't it be me?" Jared replied, curious.

Linden put away his gun and stepped aside, allowing Jared inside. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Looking for someone," Jared said, frowning as he scanned the area to confirm that Linden was alone.

Linden fetched a bottle of mineral water from the fridge. "You could have just calledif you wanted to find me,

why go to all this effort?"

Jared slowly twisted the cap off; the bottle was too full, and swater spilled as he opened it. "Chief Linden,

you should know why I'm here."

Linden tried to appear calm, but his facade finally collapsed. He looked up at Jared, his bottle now half empty.

"Did you find something at the kidnapping scene today?"

Jared looked back, his dark eyes deep and inscrutable, filled with hidden dangers. He mockingly countered, "Do

you think | found something, Chief Linden?"

Linden's hands trembled slightly as he set the water down, trying to muster calm. "It's nothing."

"This apartment, you bought it for Asher Vance, right?" Jared leaned back, relaxed and composed.

Linden clasped his hands tightly. "Can | handle this matter? I'll explain everything about the explosion..."

"You know about the explosion, how many of our brothers are still in the hospital, how many can't stand up

because of this mission, how many haven't woken up yet!" Jared's tone was fierce, glaring at Linden. If it weren't

for needing evidence from Linden, he would have struck him already.

Jared hated sacrificing his subordinates for personal gain, and Linden had repeatedly provoked Jared's most

sensitive issues.

As a chief, Linden must have known, yet he still couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Jared said no more, sitting silently across from Linden, waiting for him to speak.

Linden clenched his fists, his knuckles whitening, his lower lip bleeding, tasting of iron as he swallowed.

After a long silence, Linden finally deflated, leaned back, and admitted, "Yes, the apartment-I bought it for Asher

Vance. | installed a pinhole camera on the door." He handed a USB drive to Jared. "Everything you're looking for

is on here. Take a look for yourself."
