Chapter 531: Linden Woodwind

Tina stepped out of the cabin, the guests had already left the ship, and she was greeted by the quiet sea breeze. Soon, a helicopter hovered overhead. Jared leaned out, extended his hand, and smiled, "Tina, let's go home." Shortly after a few of them returned to the villa, Nathan and Paula White also came back from outside. Hayden stared at Nathan, "I told you to call the police, why did you come back with her?" Nathan casually twisted open a bottle of drink, "I picked her up on the way, what's the problem?" Hayden, showing his teeth in frustration, insisted, "What way did you take? Don't think you know the roads better just because you arrived in Clearwater a few days before me. I lived in Clearwater as a kid, even stayed with the White family, you're definitely not on the way!"

Hayden glared at Nathan, determined to get an answer about why he came back with Paula White. Nathan felt like punching him. Why are people in love so annoying? Courtney commented, "He's not even in a relationship yet." Nathan replied, "If he's this annoying now, imagine how much worse it'd be if he was?"

Meanwhile, Paula White had no time to bother with this, once she switched into work mode, a dozen Haydens around her wouldn't make a difference. "Serena, I found it. These are from the latest batch of 'Morning Glory' I released. Only I have the authority over 'Morning Glory' now, and all the bombs from my hands are numbered. This one is from the latest batch."

After secretly disembarking with the disassembled 'Morning Glory', Paula went straight to the White family's weapons research institute in Clearwater. After testing and matching the numbers, it was confirmed that this was indeed the bomb 'Morning Glory' recently signed over to the X Bureau headquarters. Tina had expected this, but was shocked that an internal traitor would dare to take such a risk, not fearing being exposed. Or was it that the monopolization of Ashbury X Bureau headquarters by Captain Kampwerth and Jared had finally crossed his line?

"Whom did you authorize to distribute these bombs?" Jared asked. Paula pursed her lips, "The second in command at Clearwater X Bureau, Linden Woodwind." Tina and Jared were familiar with the name. Linden, the deputy head of Clearwater X Bureau, had been transferred from Ashbury to Clearwater eight years ago but had never appeared publicly, always out on missions. He had secretly returned to Clearwater earlier this year. The operation in the western district was directed by Linden as the overall commander of Clearwater. Interestingly, he was also Arthur Woodwind and Audrey's father, Esther's husband who was often abroad on business.

be part of X Bureau. Clearly, Jared hadn't either. Linden was several ranks above Christopher, a senior leader whom Jared had no clearance to check on. "What's Linden's code name in X Bureau?" Tina asked. Paula shook her head, "I don't know; I wouldn't have known the name Linden if it hadn't been for requiring a direct superior's signature. But Serena, I've heard some rumors about Linden, that he and Captain

which was frustrating. Now that she finally had the item in her hands, she could add her own new ideas to it. With this thought, Paula happily walked away with the bomb. Hayden had intended to follow her, but before he could speak, Jared stopped him. "Any issues with the dock cargo before it arrived?" Jared asked. Hayden watched Paula drive away, then slumped down on the sofa, "No, the goods arrived on time,
