Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 574: Jared's Fury, A Rescue Mission

Inside the car, Jared and Tina were silent for a few seconds. Jared held Tina's hand tightly, "We should split up-I'll head to the X Bureau to find Linden. He can't be uninvolved in this theft of secrets. You go to your grandfather's house; this matter involves the hidden families again, and perhaps your grandfather could help."

Only then did Tina remember that Hayden's imprisonment was due to pressure from someone within the hidden families, which is why the X Bureau couldn't intervene. The Brookes family might have a way to help. With this thought, Tina's eyes narrowed imperceptibly. She had spent ten years training at Serenity Ridge, taking time each year to establish her own influence. She founded the Mountain Veil Order, strengthening Serenity Ridge, believing she was strong enough to protect those she cared about.

Yet, when it came to the hidden families, her strength was nothing compared to theirs. Her Mountain Veil Order was like an ant in front of the hidden families, vulnerable to being crushed at any moment. And she had thought she controlled the GTO, yet it had slipped from her grasp. It seemed she needed to take action.

"Alright, I'm on my way," Tina nodded in agreement, squeezing Jared's hand back, "Hurry, we can't let anything happen to Hayden." "Right, how can our husky be plucked by others?" The two parted ways then and there, with Jared driving straight to the X Bureau.

Nathan, Courtney, and Jason were waiting in the deputy director's office, trying to contact Hayden. Upon seeing Jared return, they greeted him, "Deputy Director!"

"Where's Linden?" Jared asked in a deep voice.

Nathan and the others immediately understood the situation. "He's in his office. Jason has been keeping an eye on him and hasn't left."

They were the elite of the X Bureau, and none were fools; they clearly understood Linden's likely involvement. With a department insider implicated, the director couldn't possibly be unaware. They had managed to keep this concealed even from Jared, the deputy director, as Hayden's trial approached-an impossible feat without the director's involvement. Thus, upon receiving the news, Nathan and the others had been closely monitoring every move Linden made. Jared removed his watch, threw his jacket on the sofa, and stormed out. Jason started to follow but was pushed back by Jared with a firm, "Stand by here!"

With no other option, Jason waited in the deputy director's office.

Jared didn't even knock, barging directly into Linden's office just as a message notification sounded. It was Hayden's phone. The distinctive tone was one Jared had previously mocked.

Seeing Jared enter, Linden silently put the phone away, "What brings you here so late?"

and unceremoniously opened Linden's drawer. Sure enough, there were Hayden's phone and the public screen, right inside! "Don't you know how to mute it?" Jared grabbed Linden by the collar and slammed him against the cabinet, as if he might
