Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

The West District Park was called a park, but it had been abandoned for years. Its location was remote and overgrown with weeds, making it a place few would visit, especially at eleven o’clock at night.

Tina drove into the park and parked beside a statue, then turned off the engine. This was the location mentioned by the kidnappers on the phone. The surroundings were so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard, making it seem like no one was around.

Tina glanced around and said calmly, “Since you called me here, there’s no need to hide.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a dozen masked men emerged from the bushes and surrounded her. Each held a finely sharpened dagger, the tips of which were tinged with an eerie color-poison.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Tina couldn’t help but sneer. It seemed they were determined to take her life. “Where is my brother?” she asked directly, not wasting time on pleasantries.

The leader of the masked men hesitated for a moment before laughing. “Are you still worried about your brother? Do you really think you can walk out of here alive?”

They had received strict orders to kill Tina by any means necessary. Whoever took Tina’s head would receive an additional two hundred million dollars on top of the ransom. A seemingly defenseless girl worth three hundred million dollars-what assassin wouldn’t be tempted?

“Just you lot?” Tina smirked mockingly. Had she been inactive for so long that they thought she couldn’t handle a knife anymore?

“Do you know how valuable your head is?” the leader said slowly. “Coming here today was a mistake!”

“Attack!” he shouted, raising his dagger. The others followed his command and charged at Tina with murderous intent.

But before they could take a step, Tina merely moved her fingers, and all of them collapsed to the ground like puppets with their strings cut.

“What’s happening? Why can’t I move my body?” The masked men were horrified to find their limbs powerless, only their mouths still able to move.

They couldn’t even think about killing Tina now; they couldn’t even save their own lives.

“What did you do to us?” the leader growled.

Tina listened to their frantic shouts and leisurely walked up to them, hands behind her back. She bent down and said, “I told you, you can’t touch me.”

In the moment they had lunged at her, she had scattered a powder she had personally concocted, rendering them helpless.

Looking down at them from above, she asked again, “Where is my brother?”

“Cheap tricks! We won’t reveal your brother’s whereabouts! You’re dreaming if you think we will!” The masked men remained defiant, seemingly not believing Tina had any real power.

“Very well.” Tina nodded and pulled out some silver needles from her pocket. Without bending down, she flicked them toward the leader.

Three needles accurately struck his acupoints, causing him to howl in pain and laugh uncontrollably. “It hurts! It hurts! My back itches so much! What’s happening?”

The bizarre sensation was indescribable. It felt like thousands of ants were crawling over his back while scorpions stung him. His entire body was in excruciating pain and unbearable itchiness. Soon his back was drenched in cold sweat as if he had just been pulled out of water.

“Help me! Save me! I was wrong; I’ll never dare again! Please spare me!” The leader didn’t know what he was shouting anymore; he just begged incoherently for Tina’s mercy.

Tina casually removed the needles from his body, allowing him to recover and gasp for breath on the ground.

She looked indifferently at the group of masked men sprawled on the ground and asked, “Anyone else interested in trying?”

The masked men cursed inwardly: Try what? That kind of agonizing pain-who would want to experience it again?

They had underestimated this beautiful girl before them. Without using weapons or drawing blood, she could inflict unbearable suffering.

“This isn’t torture; it’s worse than torture,” they thought.

“We were wrong, Miss Reed. Please show mercy and spare us; we won’t dare again!” The masked men exchanged glances and bowed their heads in submission, pleading for Tina’s forgiveness. “We promise to avoid Miss Reed if we see her again.”

“Answer two questions,” Tina said as she took out an antidote and waved it in front of them. “I’ll give you the antidote.”

“Ask away! We’ll tell you everything we know!”

“Where is my brother now?”

The masked men immediately replied, “Young Master Reed is in an abandoned factory in the West District. He’s unharmed but tied up!”

“Good.” Tina nodded in satisfaction. “Second question: Who ordered you to kidnap Zackary to lure me here?”

Zackary’s kidnapping was just a ruse. The kidnappers appeared to be after ransom money but were actually targeting her life. Once she showed up as agreed, they planned to overpower her and end her life.

“This…” The masked men hesitated, knowing that revealing this information could lead to dire consequences for them. But if they didn’t speak up, Tina wouldn’t spare them either.

“It seems the earlier pain wasn’t enough?” Seeing their hesitation, Tina pulled out more silver needles. “How about I add two more and see how it feels?”

“No! No!” The masked man almost bit his tongue in fear. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

He didn’t want to endure that inhuman torment again.

“It was Nathaniel Farrell!”

Nathaniel? It wasn’t unexpected; Tina just hadn’t thought he’d have the guts.

Tina raised her hand again and scattered another type of powder. In an instant, the masked men found they could move their limbs again.

Such miraculous powder-they had never seen anything like it before-could paralyze someone instantly and then restore them just as quickly.

“Miss Reed keeps her promises; we are deeply grateful!” After this brief encounter, the masked men realized that Tina was far from simple. She could easily handle a dozen people; her hidden strength was like an iceberg beneath water. To challenge her would be suicidal.

“Where is your car?” A truck would be too cumbersome; she needed something more agile for her next move.

The masked men quickly brought out one of their smaller cars and handed it over to Tina.

“This car is yours,” Tina indicated toward a nearby truck. “You can do whatever you want with the money inside it, but regarding Nathaniel…”

She paused briefly; the masked men understood immediately. “Got it; we’ll teach him a lesson for you!”

Not only did Tina spare their lives, but she also gave them one billion dollars as ransom money as agreed-a deal too good to pass up. Naturally, they felt indebted to her.

Tina got into the car and drove towards the abandoned factory in the West District where they said Zackary was being held.
