Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

"Sir, could you please tell us more in detail?" Tina asked.

The man nodded, "Yes, I remember that year vividly. Jake was the hope of our entire family. Even our relatives had high expectations for him, especially since it was quite an achievement for a poor family like ours to have a child in high school at that time."

"However, Jake's grades were mediocre and he was rather unknown at school, without many friends. According to the elderly, he was a loner."

"But after he was kidnapped and returned, he seemed like a changed person; he became much more cheerful. At that time, he even had a girlfriend at school, which caused me to scold him, but honestly, I think he was much better after returning. A young man should not be a loner."

Tina and Jared exchanged looks.

It's already the best outcome if someone comes out of such a tragic memory without falling into depression or developing psychological shadows.

How could this person named Jake turn into someone with such a cheerful personality?

The man continued, "Later, Jake indeed didn't disappoint us. He was accepted into Norther University, and after graduating from there, he went abroad to study."

The woman, who had been quiet all along, snorted and tears streamed down her face.

Tina quietly passed a tissue to her, "Did something happen?"

The man sighed heavily, his expression turning grave, "We originally disagreed with him going abroad, but Jake insisted and managed his expenses through part-time jobs without needing our financial support. Reluctantly, his mother and I agreed, but once he left, he never returned."

The woman beside him started crying loudly, "If I had known that my son would never return, I would never have let him go abroad to study!"Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"What happened to Jake abroad?" Jared asked.

The man wiped his tears, "Jake did well abroad, both in his studies and his part-time jobs, and received scholarships every year. However, he seldom contacted us due to the inconvenience of international communication. We couldn't visit him abroad, but thankfully, he sent us photos so we could see him more often."

"Later, after Jake graduated, he managed to stay on at the university. We knew then that he would not return. We were thinking about going abroad to be with him, but then... a shooting occurred at his school. Many students and teachers died, and Jake was among them!"

The woman's emotions became uncontrollable as she sobbed on the table, "My poor son, I didn't even get to see him one last time. It's a tragedy for a parent to send off their child!"

Tina could only express her condolences for the woman's plight.

Perhaps she didn't know that her son had actually died when he was kidnapped years ago.

The child they had raised afterward was their enemy!

After the woman had calmed down a bit, Jared asked, "Could we trouble you to see Jake's photos, especially those he sent from abroad?"

"Sure, most of his photos are from his childhood. After he was kidnapped, there were even fewer, and over the years abroad, there were not even ten in total. They are all here." The man handed the album to Jared. Jared flipped through it, finding photos of Jake in his graduation gown, on casual outings, and working in a restaurant.

From these photos, one could see that his life was quite simple, mostly spent at school.

"What did Jake study abroad?" Tina asked.

"He studied medicine, which is why he went abroad for further studies," the man replied.

Jared's hand paused as he flipped through the photo album, a complex light flashing in his eyes. Tina noticed and leaned over to take a look, her surprise evident. In one of Jake's photos, in the corner, there was Joshua! The truth seemed painfully clear now.

This man, Jake, had been the hidden Five Poisons all along, using disguise techniques to live in Jake's place, continuing his malicious deeds abroad under the guise of a student. During his studies, he met Joshua and passed on his dreadful skills to him.

Jared closed the album. "Thank you, we've got what we need. Someone will take you to the airport shortly."

"Don't mention it. We haven't talked about Jake in a long time, and we appreciate that you remember our son," the man said to Tina and Jared, bowing deeply with tears in his eyes.

Jared and Tina smiled and then left. Soon after, a photocopy of the photo arrived in Jared's hands. Gazing at Joshua's face, Jared felt his fingertips tense slightly.

Nathan noticed Jared's expression and asked, "Mr. Farrell, should I go ask him?"

"No need. Even if you do, he won't reveal anything. We should rather figure out how Five Poisons managed to disguise himself as a high school student!"

Tina frowned. "Five Poisons should have been middle-aged by then. Even if he looked young, he couldn't possibly resemble a high school student that closely, let alone blend in and then go abroad for college."

Tina had a hunch that the secrets of Five Poisons were linked to the final virus experiment GTO wanted to conduct.

Just then, Tina's phone rang. It was Natalie. "Come to the hospital, your undercover little sister has woken up."

It was Eagle Flies! Since being severely injured in the ambush on Asher Vance, she had been comatose in the hospital. Natalie had treated her, barely saving her life. Now, she was finally awake.

Tina and Jared quickly headed to the hospital. Eagle Flies' brother, Ray, was already there, his eyes reddening as he looked at his sister. Now known by her real name, Jane, she had completely severed ties with the GTO organization. The code name 'Eagle Flies' no longer represented her.

Jane looked frail on the hospital bed, her appearance now somewhat like the girl next door.

"Deputy Director," Ray greeted Jared as he entered, bowing out of habit.

Jared waved a hand, "No need for that anymore, or just call me what Nathan calls me."

"Yes, Mr. Farrell. Ma'am, thank you for saving my sister," Ray said, bowing deeply to Jared, Tina, and Natalie.

"You're very welcome. Jane has helped us a lot," Tina replied as she sat down. Looking at Jane's face, she said, though it was harsh, "Jane, we found a chip in both you and Asher Vance. This chip is likely the reason for your injury."

The chip had integrated so well into Jane's body that no one would have noticed if she hadn't been injured. Tina had wondered how GTO controlled their operatives, never suspecting a chip.

"Has the chip been removed yet?" Jane asked.

Tina shook her head. "That's what I need to discuss with you. The chip must be removed while you are awake, without even anesthesia. If it's not removed now, Five Poisons might trigger it again, and then no doctor in the world could help you."
