Chapter 569: Who is Helping Angela?
Joshua took a deep breath.
Indeed, the torment inside him was slowly subsiding.
He sat up straight, looking quietly at Tina. "You came to see me, what else do you want to ask?"
Tina pulled out a lollipop and casually threw it into the trash can. "Let's see what you want to say."
"I have nothing to say to you." Joshua leaned against the bed, closing his eyes, clearly unwilling to talk further.
Tina wasn't in a hurry, shifting to a more comfortable position. "Is Five Poisons your master? Is he dead?"NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Joshua's eyes flickered slightly, but he gave no response.
"You aren't still waiting for Five Poisons to save you, are you? You're too naive, Uncle Joshua!"
Tina stood up. "Indeed, she could save you, but whether I let her, that depends on my mood."
With that, Tina made to leave.
Finally, Joshua showed some reaction; he called out to Tina, "You came today to ask about your mom, about the details of when Alina was kidnapped years ago." Tina stopped in her tracks, a fierce gaze bursting from her eyes.
Those gazes pierced deep into Joshua like knives.
Suddenly, Joshua felt as if a fierce fire was burning inside him, threatening to consume him completely.
"Tina, I'm the only person in this world who knows what happened to your mom after she was kidnapped. If you want to know the truth, cure my poison!" Tina's gaze softened, and Joshua felt a significant relief.
Joshua struggled to stand and walked over to the railing. "Have someone from the Brookes family come to see me."
Tina, with a frown, did not reply.
Joshua smiled, his look profound. "There are many things in this world that can't be described with a specific term. Those that can be understood are just ordinary affairs."
Tina looked deeply at Joshua, then stood up and left.
She exited the oppressive prison, exhaling deeply.
Brandon opened the car door, welcoming Tina inside.
"How did it go?" Brandon asked.
Tina shook her head. "He didn't say anything."
"Damn." Brandon slapped the steering wheel. "That Joshua really is sly."
"Uncle Brandon, let's go back," Tina said, massaging her temples, feeling irritable.
Joshua knew all the details of Natalie's kidnapping.
Could Five Poisons really trust him that much?
"Alright, Tina, what else did he say?" Brandon asked as he drove.
"He said he wants to see someone from the Brookes family, but he didn't specify who."
Brandon's expression darkened, he said angrily, "The old man has seen him, Jack has seen him; does he want to see Kiki and Mimi too?"
Tina looked up. "Uncle Brandon, why don't you think he might want to see you or Rachel?"
"How could he know that Rachel and I came to Ashbury while he's locked up?" Brandon scoffed. "Perhaps he wants both of us to come over, just to torment us."
"Joshua said, 'There are many things in this world that can't be described with a specific term. Those that can be understood are just ordinary affairs."" Tina frowned. "What does he mean by that?" Brandon shook his head. "Don't know, a madman has now turned philosopher."
Tina smiled faintly, saying no more.
Brandon dropped Tina at the Reed family home, then drove off.
Tina returned home, soaking quietly in the bathtub, thinking about Joshua.
He wanted to see someone from the Brookes family, but who did he most want to see?

Tina ran through all the members of the Brookes family in her mind.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Angela.
Joshua was Five Poisons' disciple, and Angela was Five Poisons' daughter; he certainly would want to meet this only daughter, who shared a blood relation with his master. Tina touched her face, then casually grabbed a towel to dry her hair.
She pulled out her phone and dialed Jayden.
"How's the search for Warren Pace going?" Tina asked.
"Serena, this Warren Pace is too elusive; we simply can't pin him down, and the guys are being played by him," Jayden complained as soon as he heard Warren Pace's name. Having been with Mountain Veil Order for so long, this was the first time Jayden felt such frustration.
Despite tracking people over two meters away, not a trace of other news, let alone where Warren Pace actually lived, had surfaced after so many days. Jayden was overwhelmed.
This situation was somewhat expected by Tina.
Tracking someone like Warren Pace was never going to be easy.
Tina pinched the bridge of her nose. "If he can't be tracked, then stop chasing him. What about the other person I asked you to find? Any leads?"
There was silence on the other end before Jayden spoke, "Serena, speaking of Angela, it's a bit strange."
"How so?" Tina was slightly taken aback.
It was rare for Jayden to describe someone as strange.
"I've stumbled upon some clues about her, but every time I get close, all traces of her vanish without a trace. At first, I thought it was the Brookes family's doing, but I later realized they had been thrown off by Angela long ago." Tina looked up, dressed quickly, and opened the misty bathroom door. "Who is secretly helping Angela?"

"That's exactly what I find strange," Jayden whispered. "Behind Angela, there seems to be a mysterious force, an untraceable power. I'm sorry, Serena, it appears we are not capable enough." Failing twice in a row was humiliating for Jayden in front of Tina.
Throughout the years since the establishment of Mountain Veil Order, they had never failed a mission, but now they had hit two dead ends in a row, which Jayden found unacceptable. However, Tina didn't blame him; after all, the people they were instructed to investigate this time were unlike any before, and running into dead ends was expected. Moreover, Tina knew that completing this mission depended not so much on Jayden's abilities as on how much those they investigated chose to reveal.
"It's okay, keep tracking. As soon as you detect anything unusual, report the location immediately, and I will personally handle it."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Tina walked to the window, picked up her specially made chrysanthemum tea, and quietly looked out. Who was behind Angela helping her? Was it someone from GTO or one of her own?
In the suburbs.
Angela looked at the note in her hand, her brow furrowed tightly.
These days, she could feel someone tracing her movements, but she hadn't expected them to come on so strong, making it difficult to evade.
Each time, she narrowly managed to escape, avoiding letting anyone track her route.
But as the pursuer pressed harder, there were many times she wanted to confront them directly.
However, each time, Angela would receive a mysterious note guiding her to safety, successfully evading the tracking eyes.
Angela didn't know who placed the note, nor did she know who the person was, but they always managed to precisely locate her and leave the note where she could find it. Angela knew that both the tracker and the person leaving notes were more capable than her; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find her so easily.
Angela crumpled the note into a ball and threw it in the trash can.
Then she stepped on her car's accelerator and drove off.
