Chapter 499: It Wasn't Him

Tina closed the file and tossed it aside. Nathan was driving when Courtney, looking somewhat uneasy, turned and asked, "Miss Reed, what do you think about the content of this file?" Tina's eyes flashed coldly, "What do you think?" Courtney was momentarily stunned, feeling as if Tina was angry.

Jared, ever so considerate, wrapped his arms around Tina, gently soothing her by stroking her hair, "There, don't be angry." Tina did not respond, her gaze lowered, lost in thought. The reach of GTO had extended too far. And the real mole was hidden deeply, beyond their reach. This person was a threat not only to public safety but even to national security.

She had a nagging feeling that her mother's death was not solely linked to the head of GTO; perhaps, the final blow that killed her mother was orchestrated by the X Bureau.

Seeing her silent, Jared's voice softened indulgently, "How about I take you out for a big meal, okay?" Tina's thoughts were pulled back to the present by his voice, and she pursed her lips, pondering seriously before agreeing, "Alright, let's go." After the meal, Jared drove Tina home. Watching her enter the house, Jared got back into the car and said, "To headquarters." Nathan had no objections; it was indeed time to head back to headquarters to sort things out. Back in her room, Tina also switched on her phone. It displayed a message from a mysterious person-"It was not him."

At headquarters, Hayden and Jason stood by the deputy director's office door, dispatching all the team members out. Only these two captains were left on duty at the headquarters, their faces showing no sign of relaxation. Soon after, Jared entered the headquarters, now dressed in the X Bureau uniform, and waved at Hayden and Jason. The two exchanged a glance and withdrew, joining Nathan to guard the main entrance, allowing no one else to enter. Jared stood in front of the office for a while before knocking on the door. Inside, Christopher Parr took off his reading glasses and called out, "Come in." Jared entered and approached Christopher Parr, his expression stern and unreadable as he looked at him silently.

Christopher Parr glanced up and said indifferently, "You're here?" "I've been waiting," Jared replied in a deep, muffled voice, the air around him thick with tension. Christopher Parr chuckled, "You've grown bold, even daring to detain me now." Jared then sat across from him, his lips parting slightly, "It's surveillance."

"Go ahead, ask whatever you want to ask," Christopher Parr said leisurely, sipping his tea. Jared leaned back in his chair, his long legs crossed and his hand tapping slowly on his knee, "What are you investigating?"

Christopher Parr's fingers paused, his eyes, obscured by the steam, showing a hint of surprise. Jared's tapping stopped, his deep eyes fixed on Christopher Parr, "You brought me into X Bureau, handed me over to my master, watched me rise through the ranks-do you really distrust me that much, boss?"

Christopher Parr was silent, his heart stirred. Jared looked at him, admiration in his eyes similar to before. Though his face remained cold, it wasn't because of Christopher Parr but because of the real traitor.

Initially, both he and Tina had suspected Christopher Parr, since he was their direct superior and the person who could most easily alter the outcome of their operations. But later, Jared realized that Christopher Parr seemed to be doing this intentionally and had always been trying to communicate with his superiors.
