Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 919: A Room Full of Snipers

Inside the sniper's room, the highest-ranking commander froze for a moment when he saw the face enter the sniper's range. It was truly a difficult choice.

Jared knocked on the door of a house, his cold voice probing, "Is anyone home? We accidentally got lost and came here. Could we trouble you for a cup of water?"

While speaking, Jared's hand brushed against the gun at his waist. Behind him, Tina mimicked the same gesture.

The door slowly opened.

A sturdy man stepped out. His skin was dark, his clothes worn and tattered, and his expression seemed slightly anxious. He greeted Tina and Jared with a simple, honest smile.

Inside the sniper's room, the commander's sharp eyes were fixed on the screen. Every move was under his watch.

The moment he saw Tina, he picked up the landline next to him and made a call.

Though Tina had found her way here, the cold, seductive voice on the other end was laced with anger, demanding that her life not be taken.

The commander picked up a sniper rifle and swiftly set it up. His eye locked onto the scope, zooming in repeatedly on Tina's face. His long, sharp fingers rested on the trigger. The air seemed to freeze for three seconds before he slowly released his grip.
