Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

Jared, following a map, went with Jason to a nearby abandoned mine. At the edge of the mine, they discovered hidden marks of “Tiger” and several important documents belonging to CK.

“Report, there’s a mark,” Jason shouted into his headset.

The response came not from Christopher Parr, but from the headquarters’ commander, “Received, go down into the mine.”

Jared and Jason exchanged glances, put on oxygen masks, and descended into the mine together.

Every few steps within the mine, another Tiger mark appeared, faint but traceable.

As they reached the deeper parts, the air thinned noticeably, and a faint smell of blood wafted from within.

Suddenly, a clod of earth fell from right above Jared.

Jared’s eyes fixed, “Run!”

Jason reacted swiftly, signaling to the team behind them, and the neatly organized Third Squad quickly ran towards the exit.

At that moment, Jason heard a thunderous collapse behind him.

“Captain!”

“You go first.”

Jared’s voice came through the headset, and Jason could only glimpse Jared’s figure through the crevices.

“Captain, I’ll get you out,” Jason and a few team members halted.

Jared commanded coldly, “Get out, that’s an order! After you’re out, go find Tina!”

Hayden and Nathan, sensing trouble, asked, “Commander, what’s happening there?”

“Mine… collapsing… leave…”

Jared’s voice faded away in the headset.

Ignoring their own safety, Hayden and Nathan led their people toward Jared’s location in the mine.

Before they got close, a helicopter appeared overhead, raining bullets down like a spring shower, indiscriminately strafing the area.

Hayden and Nathan fought while retreating to the command center, but due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, the vanguard squad often ran into collapsed parts of the mine and fell in.

Nathan quickly regrouped with Hayden, and as their firepower increased, they managed to rescue the injured members.

Inside the command center, Christopher Parr shouted into the microphone, “Wolf, unidentified firepower overhead, retreat immediately!”

Inside the mine, Jared discarded his useless headset and yelled to Jason, who was still struggling outside, “My headset’s down; there’s something jamming the signal here, go support Husky.”

Jason heard the sounds of battle outside; the mine continued to collapse, and his signal was breaking.

Staying would mean total annihilation.

The only option was to get out quickly and then bring reinforcements for Jared!

Jason wiped away tears, “Captain, wait for my return!”

After escaping the mine with a few remaining team members, despite their vigilance, many suffered broken arms and legs.

Jason, protecting his teammates, suffered a severe head injury.

Just as they got out, Jason’s headset signal returned, and he heard Christopher Parr ordering Wolf to retreat.

Bearing the pain, Jason said, “Command base, Wolf’s signal is down, send the location of the overhead firepower immediately!”

There was no time to consider the consequences; they had to shoot down the helicopter to stop the incoming fire and minimize damage.

Christopher Parr cursed under his breath and immediately transmitted the location of the firepower to the XScreen.

Three squads quickly ended the battle, shooting down two helicopters, with a third disappearing.

After repelling the overhead threat, the squads regrouped at the starting point.

There were casualties, but fortunately, they were not severe.

Though it was hard to call it fortunate.

Jason applied a quick bandage to himself and informed Hayden of the mine’s location, “The captain is still inside.”

“Darn it!” Hayden took two machine guns from a team member and strapped them on, “First Squad, if you can move, follow me.”

Nathan did the same, “Second Squad, follow me.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Jason turned to follow but nearly passed out from the blood loss from the wound on his head.

Nathan grabbed the man, “Go back and report, get treated, or the captain will scold you when he returns.”

Jason’s tears, which had just stopped, almost started flowing again.

Jared was in critical condition, and the hearts of the entire special squad were gripped with anxiety.

At that moment, Christopher Parr, leaning on a crutch, walked over quickly, nearly falling over. He stormed up, shouting, “Everyone get back now!”

“Boss, our captain is in there!” Hayden shouted back defiantly.

Besides being their captain, Jared was also the brother Hayden had grown up with; Hayden couldn’t just stand by and watch him buried under a mine.

“I know, but look at your brothers around you. Aren’t their lives also important? Don’t you all have wounds? Get back now, I am your field commander, follow orders!”

Christopher Parr forcefully pushed Hayden back, then handed Jason over to Nathan, “Take him back for treatment, and afterwards, write down everything about the mine and report to me!”

At that moment, a communications officer from the command vehicle approached with a walkie-talkie, “Deputy Director, it’s the commander from the headquarters.”

Christopher Parr took it, “This is Christopher Parr.”

“Who authorized you to act rashly? Did I order you to enter the mine? Stand by, don’t you understand? Running around without satellite maps!”

The voice from the walkie-talkie was loud, allowing Jason and others to hear it clearly.

“We only entered the mine following instructions from the headquarters, when were we ordered to stand by?” Jason retorted.

The other side hesitated, then shouted, “Bullshit, I’ve been yelling until my throat is hoarse, telling you to evacuate from the mine!”

Christopher Parr quickly responded, shouting into the walkie-talkie and to the communications officer, “Check the communications equipment immediately for viruses!”

The other side also realized the urgency and yelled to check swiftly.

Indeed, both the headquarters and the field command vehicle had been infected with a virus.

“Damn it.” Christopher Parr kicked the truck in frustration.

It was the first time that both the headquarters and they themselves had been played like this by someone.

This Tiger, quite a player indeed.

Christopher Parr quickly organized the remaining personnel, selecting some to transport the injured to the hospital. Before Jason was carried onto the stretcher, he pulled Hayden aside, “The captain said to inform Tina once I got out.”

“I got it.” Hayden nodded and immediately dialed Tina on his phone.

Tina answered quickly, her first words were, “Send me your location.”

Hayden paused, “Serena, where are you?”

“I’m on my way to the west side of the city, send me your exact location, I’ll be there in five minutes.”

Hayden was stunned; Tina had anticipated the emergency and was already en route without needing to be informed!

“Yes.” Hayden glanced at Christopher Parr, decided not to report, and sent the current location of X Bureau to Tina.

Disciplinary actions were a secondary concern now; Jared’s life was paramount!

Five minutes later, Tina pulled up not far from the command vehicle.

Courtney and Paula White got out of the car with her, each carrying a box.

Christopher Parr saw Tina approaching, paused for a few seconds, then quickly reacted, cutting off Hayden who was about to greet her.

Hayden pretended not to see and calmly went to meet her.

“Serena, Mr. Farrell is trapped at the bottom of the mine, and currently, it’s impossible to know the situation inside,” Hayden briefly explained the predicament.

Tina frowned slightly, as expected, he was buried in the mine.

“Send me the coordinates.” Tina said while opening her laptop, her fingers swiftly moving across the keyboard. The satellite map of the west city appeared on the big screen directly.

Just as Hayden was about to speak, Christopher Parr hit his leg with the crutch to stop him.

“Tina, are you sure you can safely rescue Jared?”

At that moment, the voice from the walkie-talkie spoke again, “Christopher Parr, no external personnel may intervene in this operation, those are the rules!”
