Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Tina looked up at Elsa. It had to be said, Elsa was beautiful. She truly inherited all of Jennie’s best traits. Tina smiled and said, “You don’t have to be so formal with me; we are family.” She had said this many times before, but this time, she meant it sincerely.

Elsa was touched. In private, she had used her privileges to investigate Tina. After all, having reappeared after so many years and causing such turmoil within the Reed family, suspicions were inevitable. But she found nothing. Tina was like a puzzle, the more one delved into it, the deeper they got trapped. Thus, when Elsa first met Tina, she had her guards up.

Later, when Tina went to Ashbury, the Reed family invited them to a family recognition banquet. Unexpectedly, during this time, Elsa received a confidential report from her organization. Heath was actually a spy for an enemy organization! Just as she was about to arrest Heath, a man named Mr. White appeared. He collaborated with Heath to imprison her until now.

Every day, she was injected with a drug that made her sleep for extended periods, keeping her unaware of the outside world. On the rare occasions she was lucid, she found herself thrown in the back of a vehicle, unaware of her surroundings.

Tina handed Elsa a peeled apple, “During your disappearance, Mr. White impersonated you among us. But don’t worry, he never got involved in the core of your work, nor did he allow Heath to steal any intelligence.”

Indeed, Elsa was a national secret agent, which meant she couldn’t stay with Jennie for long. Every leave request required approval and notification from higher-ups, each needing various signatures. But these were job secrets, so even Jennie didn’t know what exactly Elsa did, only that the bosses were strict and reluctant to grant even a visitation leave.

Initially, Heath knew Elsa was a national secret agent and deliberately got close to her, intending to steal national secrets. However, Elsa kept her work and personal life separate. In front of Heath, she wouldn’t even mention anything work-related, let alone discuss news events.

As a result, Heath was unable to obtain the intelligence he wanted for a long time. Later, Mr. White approached Heath, and the two struck a deal. Heath allowed Mr. White to get close to Tina while he used the Elsa impersonated by Mr. White to steal national secrets. This plot was uncovered by Tina during her second encounter with Mr. White.

Elsa’s imprisonment was already secretly communicated to her organization by Jared. This made Mr. White believe he hadn’t exposed himself; he just hadn’t been able to reach the core secrets. Moreover, Mr. White didn’t care; he just wanted to get close to Tina to bring her to the lab for GTO’s virus research.

Tina played along with Mr. White while simultaneously investigating Elsa’s whereabouts. However, Mr. White was not easy to handle. He didn’t mobilize GTO’s internal forces but chose to collaborate with Vivienne instead.

Vivienne had always been conducting various dark transactions to accumulate wealth, but she had never engaged in human trafficking before. It was only because Elsa was Tina’s sister that she agreed. Vivienne also constantly used her position in the company to transfer Elsa among various vehicles, the pattern erratic and difficult to trace.

Such a method of concealment made it nearly impossible for anyone to easily find clues or track her down. Eventually, when Tina drove her out of the company group, she couldn’t use the transport vehicles to move Elsa and had to switch to private cars.

The Mountain Veil Order had mapped out the general route, and Nathan had blocked the vehicle at a critical moment. Unable to identify the specific one and too cautious to make a spectacle lest they startle the snake and endanger Elsa’s life, they resorted to Vivienne’s act at the Farrell family’s residence. Elsa breathed a sigh of relief. The work she was involved in was a national secret, which must not fall into enemy hands; she had been worried about this while imprisoned.

Fortunately, Tina was smart. “Tina, on a personal behalf, I thank you for your contribution to protecting national secrets. I will request the organization to award you a first-class merit medal. Without you, the nation could have faced an unknown crisis,” Elsa said, her face pale but her eyes resolutely firm. Tina laughed, “I didn’t do it for the country; I just wanted to save you. As for the first-class merit, forget it, I’m not interested.”

Elsa was stunned. That was a first-class merit medal-a rare honor, not just among their insiders but recognized by the general populace as well. Yet, Tina was uninterested! Tina just smiled slyly. She truly wasn’t interested. Her mother had plenty, Jared too had his share, and she was genuinely tired of seeing those medals. Not everyone in the family needed one.

Hayden chimed in, “I want it! I can never have too many!” Tina retorted, “Get lost, Husky!” Hayden retorted, “Day by day, you only learn Mr. Farrell’s bad habits!” Jared interjected, “What did you say?” Hayden quickly apologized, “I was wrong, Mr. Farrell!”

Checking the time, Tina said, “It will take some time for you to recover fully; you can’t leave the hospital. I’ll explain everything to mom. Rest well, I have other matters to attend to.” Suddenly, Elsa grabbed her hand, “Tina, what about Heath?” Tina knew Elsa would ask about him, “He’s been detained by the organization, don’t worry, he won’t have a good fate.”

“Okay, thank you,” Elsa said, lowering her gaze. Heath was her first love, and though they never discussed marriage, she had truly loved him. To think he was actually a spy for the enemy! Once she was discharged, she would make sure Heath paid dearly.

After leaving the hospital, Tina went to find Jared. Jared had just returned from headquarters, his expression as grim as she imagined. After chasing GTO for so many years, they had finally captured their second-in-command, only for him to be transferred away so easily! Approaching him, Jared’s face softened slightly upon hearing her. “How is it?” Tina asked. Jared replied with a steely gaze, “The response I got is to use Mr. White to locate GTO’s headquarters; we must not act rashly.”

Tina’s fingers rested on Jared’s shoulder, tapping lightly, a code that would be recognized by Courtney if she were there-it was a secret signal among the special squad of Bureau X. Now, only the two of them understood its meaning. Tina inquired through the code, “What does that mean?”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“It means,” Jared replied in the same code, “that my future actions must be approved by superiors, no more acting on my own.” His authority at Bureau X was significant, like in Elsa’s case, where he could contact her organization directly without going through his superiors. But now, his actions were restricted!

Jared wrapped an arm around Tina’s waist, tapping his fingertips lightly. The two shared a smile, each understanding the other’s thoughts perfectly.
