The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1097

“Miss Bridges and Mr. Leo, please come this way!”

“Mrs. Everett, Miss Bridges has arrived!”

They stepped into the grand living room.

In the living room, there were only Joanna and Jaydon, along with Darcy.

“Ms. Haynes, we’re here.”

“Aria, Leo, you’ve finally here!” Joanna exclaimed. Her face appeared somewhat weary, but her expression was

filled with excitement and anticipation.

In the heat of the moment, her sole desire was to urgently rescue Bruce, to save him from whatever predicament

he was in.

“I want to show you some information. Bruce, he’s truly been taken captive,” Joanna added.

With eager anticipation, Joanna swiftly opened her laptop and presented the evidence to Aria and the others

“Where did you get this information from?” Aria asked.

“Jay, hurry and explain everything to them in detail,” Joanna said.

“Miss Bridges, it’s been a while,” said Jaydon with a mesmerizing gaze from his captivating eyes, fixed intently on

Aria.

Aria responded with a warm yet distant tone, giving him a cool glance.

Unlike their previous encounter’s frivolity.

In this meeting, Jaydon displayed a noticeable sense of maturity. Of course, with important matters at hand, he had

no time for frivolous or carefree behavior. “Take a look at this! It’s the latest experimental data from District 17,”

Jaydon said. Aria and Leo stared at the computer screen, trying to make sense of the dense and intricate data

displayed before them. It was a bit overwhelming and difficult to understand.

Jaydon had to repeat the words he told Joanna to the others again.

After the two of them heard the explanation.

Aria frowned, her disbelief evident in her furrowed brows. She asked, “How did you manage to get this

information?”

“Leave that aside for now. In essence, this group of subjects vanished at the same time as Bruce,” Jaydon replied.

“So, I’m almost certain with 90% confidence that Bruce is among this group of subjects.”

The revelation left Aria and Leo stunned, their breath catching in disbelief.

Over the past few days, they wondered if Bruce had been captured and taken to District 17.

But their suspicions were merely speculative. Now, after hearing Jaydon’s analysis, both of them were agitated.

Jaydon’s face turned serious as he pointed at the data on the computer screen and said, “In the past couple of

days, I’ve noticed that there have been no updates in the data for No. 804. And about a month ago, No. 806’s

records suddenly ceased to update. These two experiments were probably failures, and there was no need to keep

recording their data anymore. Only the data for No. 805 and 807 are still being recorded. Particularly, the data for

No. 807 is being recorded with remarkable frequency.”

Every day, the scientists diligently uploaded the experiment data of the subjects to the database.

Jaydon breached the scientists’ security network with remarkable hacking skills, effortlessly retrieving all this

valuable information.

“This…” Aria and Leo leaned in closer to the computer, their faces filled with astonishment and disbelief.

The news was a thrilling and significant breakthrough for them.

It also offered them a glimmer of hope.

“With a high probability, one of these two subjects could be Bruce!” Jaydon said with unwavering confidence, his

analysis carrying a sense of certainty.

Deep in his heart, he held onto the hope that Bruce was still alive.

Although Jaydon could not stand Bruce’s arrogance, he could not deny that Bruce was highly skilled. Despite their

differences, Jaydon respected Bruce’s abilities. With a steadying breath, Aria looked at Jaydon seriously and asked,

“How reliable is this information?”

“Absolutely reliable. This data comes straight from District 17’s secure network database, so it’s unlikely to be

false,” Jaydon replied.

Aria’s face filled with even more astonishment as she heard Jaydon’s response. “Then how did you get it?” Aria

asked in disbelief.

Jaydon’s eyes darted around, hesitant to admit that he had hacked into the District 17 network system.

After all, hacking belonged to the realm of cybercrime.

Joanna quickly changed the subject and said, “These details are not crucial now. What truly matters is that we’ve

confirmed Bruce’s capture in District 17. We must gather all our strength and rescue him as soon as possible.

Whether it’s him or not, we cannot afford to give up.”

Aria nodded instinctively upon hearing Joanna’s words. “Absolutely! If we confirm that Bruce has indeed been taken

to District 17, we’ll muster all our forces to rescue him,” Aria said.

Joanna’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked urgently, “Aria, how many people do

you have with you right now?”

“Alright, we have four people with us,” Aria replied calmly, her voice steady and determined.

“Only four people?” Joanna exclaimed, a hint of disappointment crossing her face. “Only four people? What can we

achieve with such a small team?” Joanna thought.

She thought that Aria would have a larger team can work with.

Aria took a deep breath, reassuringly stating, “Don’t worry, we have another four agents on their way from the

homeland. They have strong backing, and they’ll be

here soon.”

“Can’t your organization send more reinforcements?” Joanna could not hold back her question, and her voice

tinged with urgency.

Upon hearing this, Aria could not help but let a hint of contempt flicker in her

eyes.

Joanna’s question seemed oblivious to the situation.

They were all extraordinary talents, carefully nurtured by the nation.

Each year, fewer than ten individuals were chosen to join the prestigious ranks of the National Intelligence Bureau.

More than 20 people, including Bruce, had been sacrificed to execute this mission. This deeply pained Richard,

making it impossible to spare too many more for the

cause.

Sending all the people to this mission would leave them unable to handle any other tasks.
