Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 565: Identity Kept Secret

Brandon had pondered long and hard.

Since they had managed to alter the identification results right under Jack's watchful eyes, the opposition must

be formidable and well-prepared. If they now rashly revealed Tina's paternity test, it would undoubtedly cause a

major uproar.

For Tina's safety and to swiftly expose the mastermind behind the scenes, he absolutely could not allow Tina's

identity to be exposed prematurely. Everyone knew how much Alina meant to Grandpa Brookes.

Now that Alina's daughter had appeared, she was bound to becthe jewel of the Brookes family. Frankly, the

entire Brookes family might end up belonging to Tina. This would inevitably make her a target for those lurking in

the shadows. Thus, Tina's safety could not be guaranteed. Therefore, Tina's identity must remain a secret for

now!

Tina nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Brandon."

Brandon covered his eyes again. Hearing Tina call him 'Uncle Brandon' so many times, only this tit was

particularly heart-wrenching. He couldn't control his tears, crying while saying, "Tina, you mustn't tell anyone

about Uncle Brandon crying in front of you, especially not your Uncle Jack, or else even Kiki and Mimi's

kindergarten will know."

Tina couldn't help but laugh and cry at the stime, Brandon really was a character. "I understand," she said.

Brandon took a moment to compose himself, finally stabilizing his emotions. He handed Tina her phone back,

licked his lips, and tightly clasped his hands together. "Tina, how exactly did Alina die? Who is your father? What

has your mother gone through all these years?" Brandon struggled to ask.

Tina's details had long been known to the Brookes family, the first being that she was motherless and fatherless.

Now, recognizing Tina, Brandon had to accept the painful truth that his beloved little sister Alina was no longer

alive. Mentioning her mother, Tina pursed her lips and recounted how Natalie had committed suicide, including

the GTO, X Bureau, and other details Tina knew.

Facing her closest kin, Tina held nothing back. In that moment, Tina felt she was no longer fighting alone in this

world. Though Jared had always given her a sense of stability, love and familial affection were ultimately

different. Tina could feel a part of her heart quietly being filled.

Brandon was immensely shocked upon hearing this. He could imagine his sister being a genius, but he hadn't

expected her to be such a prodigy. She truly was the pride of the Brookes family! "Alina was actually Everett,

who once shocked the entire X Bureau. My sister was so close to me, yet | had no clue," Brandon said, both

shocked and self-reproachful. Although the Brookes family wasn't deeply connected with the X Bureau, they were

closely linked.

His own sister had been the captain of the special squad at X Bureau, and he, who constantly mingled with the X

Bureau, had been oblivious. It was unforgivable!

"Jared, he was the apprentice my mother was most proud of. After my mother's suicide, he took over as the

captain of the X Bureau special squad. Afterwards, | hid my identity and stayed secluded in the mountains, rarely

coming down," Tina shared, wishing she could hand Brandon a piece of paper, but there was nothing to write on

here. She hadn't expected Brandon to be such a crybaby.

"| always said that the person who could develop bionic biotechnology had to be our Alina," Brandon said, his

sleeve nearly wringing wet. Speaking of bionic beings, Tina suddenly remembered the bionic robot that Master

Tam had left behind to test Jared. Whether in terms of material, execution, or effective duration, it was

incomparable to what the Hancock family had achieved over the years. Master Tam likely didn't possess such

convenient talents.

"Uncle Brandon, did you tell Uncle Jack about the bionic creature?" Tina asked.

Brandon shook his head, "No, | haven't said anything. Moreover, your grandfather wantedto manage the

bionic creature back then; it's practically my own affair. | can handle it as | wish without interference from your

grandfather, so there's no need to mention it. What's wrong?"

Tina relayed to Brandon the matter about the bionic creature that Master Tam had brought up. "My master is a

good friend of my mom, so it's not hard for him to know about this technology, but I'm just surprised that he

could actually develop it."

Brandon was silent for a few seconds, pondering Tina's words, a thought slowly forming in his mind.

"You mean..."

"I'm not sure yet, Uncle Brandon, so | want you to investigate what my master has been up to all these years,

especially the man named Warren Pace who's always around him. Something feels off."

Tina knew all too well Master Tam's capabilities; it wouldn't work on him.

And Jared, if Master Tam could feign death silently for so long, then Jared certainly wouldn't uncover anything.

Master Tam would surely be cautious.

But if Brandon were to investigate, using the influence of the Brookes family and his own skills, Master Tam

might not detect it so quickly. Finding even a small clue would be valuable.

Brandon nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, | can find out everything about your master, down to what the

goes to the restroom." Tina smiled, "That won't be necessary, but Uncle Brandon, there's something else | need

to ask you."

Brandon took out his phone to order stakeout, choosing sfood and Coke, wisely opting not to drink beer

with his niece.

"Go ahead, tonight is just between the two of us, a chance to clear the air about many things."

"Alright." Since Brandon had put it that way, Tina wouldn't miss this opportunity.

She sat up straight, "What exactly are the hidden families?"

Brandon had guessed Tina would ask this. "Now that you're also home, there's no harm in telling you. Simply

put, the hidden families are just as the nimplies; families with unique skills passed down from ancient times.

However, as generations change and evolve, more and more hidden families are moving towards modern

technology, and many skills are only passed down to one person in the family. We siblings don't get to learn

them."

Tina was curious, "Unique skills? What kind of skills does our family have?"

Brandon blinked, held his breath, and suddenly stretched out his hand, pointing his fingertip towards a trash bin

not far away.

Tina looked, but nothing happened.

"...Uncle Brandon, what's going on?"

Brandon pulled back his hand, laughing off, "Well, | can't do it. Back then, five of us drew lots, and only your

Uncle Gavin got it. He can, our family's unique skill is something like telekinesis, controlling objects with the

mind. At home, | always had to ask your Uncle Gavin for help with anything, and that's how he won over his wife.

| was so jealous."

"I should have pleaded with your grandfather to learn this skill back then. Maybe | would have won Angela over

by now."
