Chapter 431: Elsa

Tina looked up at Elsa. It had to be said, Elsa was beautiful. She truly inherited all of Jennie's best traits. Tina

smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal with me; we are family." She had said this many times before,

but this time, she meant it sincerely.

Elsa was touched. In private, she had used her privileges to investigate Tina. After all, having reappeared after so

many years and causing such turmoil within the Reed family, suspicions were inevitable. But she found nothing.

Tina was like a puzzle, the more one delved into it, the deeper they got trapped. Thus, when Elsa first met Tina,

she had her guards up.

Later, when Tina went to Ashbury, the Reed family invited them to a family recognition banquet. Unexpectedly,

during this time, Elsa received a confidential report from her organization. Heath was actually a spy for an

enemy organization! Just as she was about to arrest Heath, a man named Mr. White appeared. He collaborated

with Heath to imprison her until now.

Every day, she was injected with a drug that made her sleep for extended periods, keeping her unaware of the

outside world. On the rare occasions she was lucid, she found herself thrown in the back of a vehicle, unaware of

her surroundings. Tina handed Elsa a peeled apple, "During your disappearance, Mr. White impersonated you

among us. But don't worry, he never got involved in the core of your work, nor did he allow Heath to steal any

intelligence." Indeed, Elsa was a national secret agent, which meant she couldn't stay with Jennie for long. Every

leave request required approval and notification from higher-ups, each needing various signatures. But these

were job secrets, so even Jennie didn't know what exactly Elsa did, only that the bosses were strict and reluctant

to grant even a visitation leave.

Initially, Heath knew Elsa was a national secret agent and deliberately got close to her, intending to steal

national secrets. However, Elsa kept her work and personal life separate. In front of Heath, she wouldn't even

mention anything work- related, let alone discuss news events.

As a result, Heath was unable to obtain the intelligence he wanted for a long time. Later, Mr. White approached

Heath, and the two struck a deal. Heath allowed Mr. White to get close to Tina while he used the Elsa

impersonated by Mr. White to steal national secrets. This plot was uncovered by Tina during her second

encounter with Mr. White.

Elsa's imprisonment was already secretly communicated to her organization by Jared. This made Mr. White

believe he hadn't exposed himself; he just hadn't been able to reach the core secrets. Moreover, Mr. White didn't

care; he just wanted to get close to Tina to bring her to the lab for GTO's virus research.

Tina played along with Mr. White while simultaneously investigating Elsa's whereabouts. However, Mr. White was

not easy to handle. He didn't mobilize GTO's internal forces but chose to collaborate with Vivienne instead.

Vivienne had always been conducting various dark transactions to accumulate wealth, but she had never

engaged in human trafficking before. It was only because Elsa was Tina's sister that she agreed. Vivienne also

constantly used her position in the company to transfer Elsa among various vehicles, the pattern erratic and

difficult to trace.

Such a method of concealment made it nearly impossible for anyone to easily find clues or track her down.

Eventually, when Tina drove her out of the company group, she couldn't use the transport vehicles to move Elsa

and had to switch to private cars.

The Mountain Veil Order had mapped out the general route, and Nathan had blocked the vehicle at a critical

moment. Unable to identify the specific one and too cautious to make a spectacle lest they startle the snake and

endanger Elsa's life, they resorted to Vivienne's act at the Farrell family's residence. Elsa breathed a sigh of

relief. The work she was involved in was a national secret, which must not fall into enemy hands; she had been

worried about this while imprisoned. Fortunately, Tina was smart. "Tina, on a personal behalf, | thank you for

your contribution to protecting national secrets. | will request the organization to award you a first-class merit

medal. Without you, the nation could have faced an unknown crisis," Elsa said, her face pale but her eyes

resolutely firm. Tina laughed, "I didn't do it for the country; | just wanted to save you. As for the first-class merit,

forget it, I'm not interested."

Elsa was stunned. That was a first-class merit medal-a rare honor, not just among their insiders but recognized

by the general populace as well. Yet, Tina was uninterested! Tina just smiled slyly. She truly wasn't interested.

Her mother had plenty, Jared too had his share, and she was genuinely tired of seeing those medals. Not

everyone in the family needed one.

Hayden chimed in, "I want it! | can never have too many!" Tina retorted, "Get lost, Husky!" Hayden retorted,

"Day by day, you only learn Mr. Farrell's bad habits!" Jared interjected, "What did you say?" Hayden quickly

apologized, "I was wrong, Mr. Farrell!"

Checking the time, Tina said, "It will take stfor you to recover fully; you can't leave the hospital. I'll

explain everything to mom. Rest well, | have other matters to attend to." Suddenly, Elsa grabbed her hand,

"Tina, what about Heath?" Tina knew Elsa would ask about him, "He's been detained by the organization, don't

worry, he won't have a good fate."

"Okay, thank you," Elsa said, lowering her gaze. Heath was her first love, and though they never discussed

marriage, she had truly loved him. To think he was actually a spy for the enemy! Once she was discharged, she

would make sure Heath paid dearly.

After leaving the hospital, Tina went to find Jared. Jared had just returned from headquarters, his expression as

grim as she imagined. After chasing GTO for so many years, they had finally captured their second-in-command,

only for him to be transferred away so easily! Approaching him, Jared's face softened slightly upon hearing her.

"How is it?" Tina asked. Jared replied with a steely gaze, "The response | got is to use Mr. White to locate GTO's

headquarters; we must not act rashly." Tina's fingers rested on Jared's shoulder, tapping lightly, a code that

would be recognized by Courtney if she were there-it was a secret signal among the special squad of Bureau X.

Now, only the two of them understood its meaning. Tina inquired through the code, "What does that mean?"

"It means," Jared replied in the scode, "that my future actions must be approved by superiors, no more

acting on my own." His authority at Bureau X was significant, like in Elsa's case, where he could contact her

organization directly without going through his superiors. But now, his actions were restricted!

Jared wrapped an arm around Tina's waist, tapping his fingertips lightly. The two shared a smile, each

understanding the other's thoughts perfectly.
