Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee

After Tina finished speaking, Jared considerately handed her a thermos, "Tina, have some water before you continue."

It was rare for Tina to speak so much at once; he didn't want her to exhaust herself.

Tina took the thermos, flashed him a smile, and took a sip before turning to face Dorothy Russell.

She didn't continue speaking but waited for Dorothy Russell to speak.

A storm raged in Dorothy Russell's heart.

She had thought that even if Tina found her today, she wouldn't know their real purpose, but unexpectedly, Tina knew everything. Damn it!

How did she find out?

These were things that only she and Justin knew.

Dorothy Russell remained silent for several minutes before she finally spoke slowly, "I just want to know how you found out."

She couldn't understand, couldn't grasp it!

And she couldn't accept it!

She had lived her whole life, and now she couldn't outsmart a young girl.

Though ninety years old, she too was a genius, with exceptionally strong learning abilities. Even in this high-tech era, she quickly learned and adapted to modern life.

She believed that with her intellect, handling a twenty-year-old girl should be more than manageable.

Tina laughed, her smile bright and dazzling, yet blinding, "I guessed!"

She really had guessed!

After dealing with bionic robots, she had pondered one question: initially, she was chasing the Five Poisons, but then she realized it was the Five Poisons chasing her. The enemy was obvious, yet she could never catch them. So, the night before finding Damian, she meditated all night long, her brain linking all events together, reviewing everything. Jared did the same that night.

When they woke up the next day, Jared was already waiting at her door. They smiled at each other, and everything became clear.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

The only thing they hadn't guessed and found out was who the man secretly dealing with Dorothy Russell was.

And the red-dressed woman who appeared later.

Dorothy Russell almost spat blood, clutching her chest in anger, "I don't believe it!"

How could mere guesses reveal so much?

She didn't believe it!

Not at all!

Tina raised an eyebrow, "I'm a genius, whether you believe it or not."

Nathan, "..."

Hayden, "..."

This was the time for self-admiration, wasn't it?

Tina: Are you sure I'm being narcissistic?

Nathan, Hayden shivering: No, you're a genius!

Dorothy Russell really couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Tina turned to Jared with a somewhat helpless expression, "How did he manage to run RST for so many years with such low tolerance? They've been making a fool of me for so long, I feel like my IQ has been dragged through the mud!" Jared gently touched her head, his expression full of affection, "Well, from now on, we can trample them underfoot anytime we want, just as they did." "That's possible!" Tina laughed.

The two joked for a while before Tina looked again at Dorothy Russell, "Do you have any more questions? I'm easy to talk to, I can let you die in the know!"

"You found this place, how?" At this point, Dorothy Russell no longer asked anything else, she just couldn't accept that her carefully hidden sanctuary had been so easily uncovered.

"It's simple!" Tina said, "Just needed a computer, didn't you know I'm a master hacker?"

Dorothy Russell was now thoroughly infuriated, "I know you're a master hacker! But I want to know how you found this place. I didn't just use high-tech, I also used secret arts and set up barriers that ordinary people wouldn't notice."

"I am no ordinary person!" Tina declared seriously.

Dorothy Russell,'

Jared, "..."

Hayden, "..."

Nathan, "..."

Dorothy Russell was furious and wanted to curse, but in that moment, she had to keep her composure.

She looked up at the clock on the wall. Half an hour had passed, and he still hadn't arrived.

Perhaps he wasn't coming at all, perhaps she couldn't wait any longer.

But she couldn't afford to wait any longer.

Tina was too terrifying.

Now that Tina openly spoke these words, she left no room for Dorothy to maneuver; she had to save herself.

Just as she was calculating how to escape, Tina suddenly spoke, "A few days ago in Alderanth, we encountered a woman in red clothes, highly skilled in martial arts and seemingly knowledgeable about the hidden family secrets, using silver needles with divine skill. Do you know who she is?"

Dorothy Russell's expression tightened.

It was her.

She had appeared as well; what did she want?

Quickly, Dorothy Russell controlled her emotions, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Don't understand?"

Just as Tina was about to speak, Dorothy Russell suddenly attempted to throw something. Before she could release it, her wrist was grasped tightly.

Jared twisted it, breaking her wrist.

Nathan forced her wrist open and handed the object in her hand to Tina-several small granules, the nature of which he was unsure.

Tina examined them closely and pocketed all of them, then looked at Jared with a smile, "Uncle, these are good stuff."

Jared looked up, "What are they?"

Tina explained, "These are miniature bombs, unseen on the market so far. Don't be fooled by their small size; their power is enough to level this building, even more potent than trumpet flowers." Hearing this, Nathan felt a sense of having narrowly escaped death. It was a close call; if their leader hadn't controlled Dorothy Russell just in time, they might have all been buried with the building. Watching her possessions being taken, Dorothy Russell struck at Jared with an inch of force.

After breaking free from Jared, she tried to escape through the window, but Tina kicked her down. She spat out a mouthful of blood, not recalling the last time she had been so disheveled.

She got up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and with her unbroken hand, pulled out a small knife and stabbed at Tina, only to be stopped by Jared, who then severed the tendons in her hand. Dorothy Russell was also overwhelmed by the powerful aura emanating from him, crashing into the wall corner without even touching the hem of Tina's clothes.

Another bout of coughing ensued; she clutched her chest and looked at Tina, "You've mastered the hidden family's secret techniques and drugged me."

With her skills, she should not be completely outmatched by them.

She clearly felt that Tina's kick, though appearing light, carried an astonishing force.

And she, though she could have dodged, found herself immobilized in that instant.

"Only now you realize?" Tina was quite speechless.

Why had she lost to someone so intellectually lacking so many times?

She decided that after today, she would go into seclusion for three days to reflect on herself.

Dorothy Russell hadn't expected her to admit it so openly; seeing herself in a hopeless situation, she hadn't thought Tina would still drug her.

"With the two of you here, I simply can't escape," Dorothy Russell said.

Hearing this, Tina nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I know you can't escape."

"So you drugged me..."
