Chapter 605


    A week went by with no sign of Nathan.


    Despite extensive searches, his body had yet to be found, almost as if he had vanished without a trace from the river.


    To aid in the investigation, the government discreetly deployed a highly skilled criminal investigation team to locate him.


    Meanwhile, M was relentless in her efforts. Upon regaining her strength, she dedicated herself to an exhaustive search, working tirelessly day and night.


    While the official search efforts focused onbing the river and surrounding areas, M pursued a different strategy.


    She meticulously analyzed the traffic surveince footage from the day of Nathan''s disappearance.


    Through her careful examination, she discovered that Nathan''s car had been pursued by several suspicious vehicles sporting fake license tes. Although there were instances of speeding, no collisions were reported.


    In a sudden turn of events, Nathan''s car appeared to malfunction, swerving toward the roadside barrier before plunging into the river at high speed.


    The vehicles tailing Nathan''s car swiftly elerated, maneuvering onto the road beneath the river.


    Unfortunately, there were no surveince cameras along the smaller roads nking the river, resulting in a sudden cutoff of the tracking footage.


    Lost in contemtion, M attempted to imagine Nathan''s perspective.


    Why did he agree to be the best man?


    What prompted his sudden departure during the reception?


    Whenever Nathan embarked on a mission, he never operated alone. So, why did he abandon Cole and venture out without any subordinates this time? What was his objective?


    As M delved into her thoughts, Cole''s sudden knock on the study door snapped her out of her reverie.


    "Come in," M said.


    With a sense of urgency, Cole said, "Mrs. Morrison, we''ve found it."


    M eagerly epted the USB drive from Cole''s outstretched hand. Feeling a mix of anxiety and anticipation, she inserted the drive into theputer.


    Cole stood by her side as they watched the footage together. He sighed, reflecting, "It took every ounce of my effort and all my connections to obtain this surveince footage." M remained silent, her gaze fixed on the screen as she scrutinized the footage.


    The video captured moments from Lillian''s wedding day.


    M observed each frame meticulously, leaving no detail unnoticed.


    While M watched the yback, she couldn''t help but notice Nathan''s immediate reaction to cover Yale''s injured hand with a handkerchief, deftly concealing the cut left by his ring. Without hesitation, M paused the video at that crucial moment. It was a seemingly insignificant detail that had gone unnoticed on stage during the event.


    Cole shared M''s astonishment. "It appears General Morrison switched the handkerchiefs discreetly. What could his motive be?"


    After a moment of contemtion,


    M resumed watching the footage. Suddenly, it dawned on her why the wedding host had seemed so ipetent-they were hurrying through the schedule.


    Looking up at Cole, M asked, "Weren''t you aware of his n?"


    Cole shook his head in disbelief. "No, General Morrison didn''t tell me about any of this. But what could be the reason for him needing Yale''s blood?"


    M rested her forehead on her hand, leaning against the desk as she spoke softly, "This man could very well be Oliver."This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    "That''s highly unlikely. Given Oliver''s poor eyesight, it''s difficult to believe he could undergo such a natural


    transformation through

    Compare that to Lucas; his surgically enhanced features much more noticeable."


    M countered, "Poor eyesight can be corrected with contact lenses orser surgery, and there are plenty of skilled stic surgeons capable of such transformations."


    Cole paused for a moment, his voiceden with concern. "Does this mean General Morrison is in grave danger?"


    However, M saw things differently. She turned to Cole and challenged, "Isn''t there any other way to obtain someone''s blood?"


    Cole remained skeptical. "How could there not be? Acquiring blood is a straightforward process, isn''t it? We coulde up with a legitimate reason and bring the personan for a simple blood test.


    "Alternatively, we could involve narcotics officers, suspect them of drug use, and carry out a routine examination at the hospital, extracting blood in the process.


    "As ast resort, we could send in an agent disguised as a robber, stage a robbery, and obtain something stained with blood from the target. There are countless methods. "General Morrison''s approach is the riskiest, the most perilous, and it''s the most likely to lead to his exposure. His direct involvement perplexes me; I simply can''tprehend it." M rested her head on her hand, calmly observing Cole. "Considering General Morrison''s intellect, would he really make such a reckless move?"


    Cole responded with certainty, "No, he wouldn''t."


    M drew her conclusion decisively, "Then it must have been intentional on Nathan''s part."


    Confusion clouded Cole''s expression as he looked at M.


    M stated confidently, "He intentionally asked to be a groomsman, deliberately stood next to Yale, and knowingly chose the riskiest method to obtain his blood.


    "And let''s not forget his feigned nervousness and sudden departure from the reception. All these calcted actions seem to be aimed at arousing Yale''s suspicions."
