SWNOVELS Chapter 613: Waiting for His Move
When the bombing case was mentioned, a silence fell among the three of them. It was clear without saying that Natalie already knew what Linden had just mentioned. Natalie sat down and, looking up at Linden, said, "I agree with your idea." They had been conducting a secret investigation for so many years; even if Tina intended to hide something, how could she truly keep it from Natalie? Over the years, Natalie had investigated everyone involved in the "Destruction Plan," even including her own subordinate, Christopher.
Whether friends or foes, all suspects had been cleared of suspicion. As the investigation drew to a close, the least likely person became a possibility again.
Christopher came over, trying to change Natalie's mind: "Boss, he is our master, our mentor!"
"I know," Natalie replied, looking at Christopher and his expression of disbelief, word by word she said: "All these years, I abandoned my daughter, gave up on my comrades, and lived under an alias, not to doubt my own master at the last minute!"
Christopher's expression was stricken; knowing Natalie had said such things, he realized there was no turning back.
Next door, Tina watched the monitors with a heavy expression. Seeing the fleeting pain on Natalie's face, her heart clenched tightly. Jared put his arm around Tina's shoulders and gently squeezed, "We can't hide it from the master forever; she would find out sooner or later." Tina nodded, "Yeah, my mom will be alright, but Christopher, he probably won't accept it so soon."
Jared smirked, "He'll come to terms with it. The master's little apprentice is not that fragile." Jared and Tina exchanged a look and smiled, continuing to watch the surveillance in the room.
Christopher sat in the chair for a long time before he slowly recovered, "Boss, what do we do next?" Natalie smiled slightly, "We don't have concrete evidence yet; what we need is for him to make a move."
Linden nodded, "Exactly, he's been entrenched in the X Bureau for so many years, he won't easily make a move. If we confront him rashly, it will only backfire, Christopher, I need your help."
"You are in the light, I am in the shadow, and with Jared, he will definitely slip up," Natalie said.
Seeing this, Christopher nodded heavily, "Okay, what clues do we have now?" Natalie looked up at the monitors and gestured with her finger.
Next door, Tina sighed and slapped a folder onto Jared, "Take this to your master." Jared, seeing Tina's helpless look, couldn't help but pinch her face. The only person who could make Tina feel so helpless was probably only Natalie. Jared knocked on the door and handed the documents to Natalie.
"Master, Tina asked me to give this to you," Jared handed over the documents to Natalie, glanced at Christopher, and quietly left. He preferred to be by his wife's side.
Natalie opened the documents and laid them out on the table in front of Linden and Christopher. The two of them looked at the detailed information, their frowns deepening.
"This is the case that earned Asher Vance a top honor, three first-class merits, and two second-class merits. It's also what started our unraveling of GTO," Natalie explained.
This was originally a case of human trafficking. The X Bureau, led by Mr. Pace with Asher Vance as his deputy, was on the mission. During the operation, Mr. Pace was injured, and Asher Vance was suddenly tasked with leading the team to continue the pursuit. When they located the traffickers, they accidentally uncovered the true face of the trafficking organization-it was a virus research laboratory!
This laboratory was the first experimental base established by the X Bureau under the project GTO. From then on, the X Bureau embarked on a thirty-year-long battle with GTO. Over these three decades, Asher Vance's reputation soared as he successively thwarted multiple GTO conspiracies, solidifying his current status.
Linden and Christopher, after reviewing all the case files, had expressions that were hard to read. "I remember, when we first joined the X Bureau, Mr. Pace told us about this case," Linden said, putting down the documents with a frown.

"Yes, at that time Mr. Pace told us that the master alone rescued twelve children and personally contacted their families to send them home," Christopher said through clenched teeth. "But why does this document state that only ten children were kidnapped by GTO?"
Natalie tapped her finger on the table and said, "This document was sent by my daughter, who infiltrated GTO as an undercover agent. Back then, they kept this record to easily track each child's reactions."
"So, who were the other two children among the twelve reported by the master?" Christopher asked.
Linden's eyes narrowed as he seemed to understand something. "I remember Mr. Pace saying that GTO, to test the drug's effects, included children ranging from three to nineteen years old, from kindergarten to university. If someone disguised as a university student was among them, it would be impossible to detect."
Natalie nodded, "Exactly, Five Poisons must be among them. Linden, you try to find the photos left from the old case files. Christopher, the White family will soon deliver a new type of bomb detector to the X Bureau, and it will pass through his hands-pay close attention and try to draw out Five Poisons. We must capture them in one fell swoop."
"Okay, boss, what about you?" Christopher asked.
Natalie smiled, "As long as I'm alive and our plans have been exposed, they won't let me go. They will try to find my whereabouts, and when the time comes, he will naturally come knocking."
"Isn't that very dangerous? I should send someone to protect you..."
"No need, just take good care of yourselves. This time, Nathan's report didn't mention me, and he will definitely use this opportunity to control the actions of the X Bureau's special squad. Everyone, be careful."

The three stood up and exchanged glances.
Natalie and Christopher reached out their hands, palms together, while Linden raised his hand, wanting to give a high-five...
Natalie showed a hint of disdain, "After all these years, you still don't sync with us."
Linden sheepishly touched his nose, "To our success."
With that, he left the restaurant with the documents.
Christopher didn't stay long either; every next step was crucial.
If Asher Vance was really an undercover agent, he would surely fall into their trap!
Tina watched the trio's lack of coordination, sighed deeply, and took out her phone to call Eagle Flies.
"Be ready, it's time to act!"
