Clearly, he saw Jared as his successor.

Jared bowed his head slightly, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Pace."

Mr. Pace waved his hand dismissively, "It's not about being disappointed or not. You young people have your own

ideas, and | understand that. The incident sdays ago hurt you."

Jared didn't respond, merely offering a faint smile.

The room fell silent for a moment before Mr. Pace continued, "I've been away from the X Bureau for a long time,

don't know many people there anymore, can't help you much. But from now on, your path should be much

easier. If you need anything, just ask. For the young lady's sake, | won't refuse to help you."

Jared chuckled, "It seems Tina holds more sway than | do."

"Of course, | took to her the moment we met; you can't compare," Mr. Pace said, gazing deeply at Tina again, his

eyes twinkling with an elusive light, "Young lady, what do your parents do?"

Tina smiled and answered, "You might have met my mother, she's Everett from the special squad. As for my

father, I've never met him."

Mr. Pace stiffened, sitting up straight, "You're Everett's daughter? Everett had a child!"

"Yes, that's me." Tina knew that the person Natalie had mentioned before was indeed the Mr. Pace before her!

Mr. Pace looked Tina over carefully, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, you resemble her. | always liked you at first

sight. Turns out you're Everett's child. Back then, | wanted to marry her into our family. And now she has a child

who has turned out so well. That's really wonderful. | envy your father."

Tina could tell that Mr. Pace was truly envious. Yet, Tina didn't even know who her own father was, so there

wasn't much reason for envy. After sidle chatter with Mr. Pace, Tina found a moment to ask, "Mr. Pace, I'm

trying to find someone. Have you ever heard of him?"

"Go ahead," he replied.

"Do you know a Warren Pace, or anyone with Warren in their name?" Tina inquired.

Mr. Pace shook his head. "No one in the Pace family goes by that name, girl. That nmight have another

meaning."

Tina paused, taken aback.

That was true; Tina had thought that the nNatalie might have been inspired by someone's name. But there

was no one with such a nin the Pace family. Warren Pace, Warren Pace, what was Natalie trying to say? Or

was she implying something else?

"Thank you, Mr. Pace, | understand now."

Tina and Jared stayed a little longer with Mr. Pace before saying their goodbyes. Just before leaving, Tina checked

Mr. Pace's pulse and noticed a mole on his wrist. She smiled to herself, not because the mole was unusual, but

because she had an identical mole on her wrist, in the exact sspot.

After Tina and Jared left, Boris and Rachel cin to visit. Boris seemed a bit unhappy, but Rachel was cheerful,

eagerly greeting Mr. Pace.

"You take care. Tell your dad not to worry; I'm still up for a few more years of chess with him," Mr. Pace said with

a smile.

His words subtly hinted they should leave. Rachel, picking up on this, exchanged a few pleasantries and then

stood to leave.

After she left, the smile slowly faded from Mr. Pace's face.

"Dad, Rachel waited here for a long time. Why did you send her away like that?" Boris was clearly upset.

Mr. Pace squinted, "Boris, you should limit your interactions with Rachel. You can't trust her completely."

"She's not asking to be taken in. Uncle Brookes really likes Rachel. You shouldn't judge her just because she's

adopted," Boris retorted, displeased.

Mr. Pace didn't say much more, just lay back down and said solemnly, "Your Uncle Brookes and | both disagree

with the marriage, and Rachel herself isn't keen, but you're head over heels." "Dad, Rachel she..."

"I'm tired," Mr. Pace closed his eyes, dismissing Boris.

Boris had no choice but to close his mouth and awkwardly leave.

Meanwhile, Rachel didn't return to the Brookes family but took the mountain road in the opposite direction.

Arriving at a bungalow, she got out of the car, pushed open the door, and entered. "Are you a rabbit? So many

burrows," Rachel complained.

Five Poisons shook his head, "I'm not."

Rachel sighed a few times before sitting down, "What about that Warren Pace, did you find anything?"

Five Poisons put down his book and removed his silver-rimmed glasses, "Nothing."

"What?" Rachel exclaimed, "Not a single clue?"

"Yes," Five Poisons leaned back in the sofa, curiously watching Rachel, "Why are you looking into this Warren

Pace?"

"What else? If it weren't for this Warren Pace, even if Tina hadn't died, she would have been badly hurt, all

because he got in the way," Rachel cursed bitterly. "I went to the Pace family today, but couldn't find anything

out. There's no one named Warren Pace in the Pace family at all."
