that even though it was a confined space, there were surveillance cameras scattered in all four corners of the room. Their every word and action—even the minutest expression on their faces—would be recorded.Meanwhile, James was observing their actions in front of the surveillance monitors in another room.“Officer Lockhart.” Winnie stood up and shook Greta’s hand. “I didn’t expect this to be your true identity.”Greta gripped Winnie’s hand and smiled. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t allowed to reveal it previously. Please take a seat.” As she spoke, she pulled out a chair and sat opposite Winnie and the rest.Winnie went straight to the point. “I have two things to talk to you about, Officer Lockhart.”The corners of Greta’s lips curved upwards, forming her usual bright grin. She took out her beret and said, “Continue calling me Greta, Ms. Garland. I’m still not used to hearing you call me Officer Lockhart.”Looking at the dimples on Greta’s cheeks, Winnie could not help but smile.“Okay, Greta. The first thing I want to tell you is that Mason’s looking for you. He came all the way from Manchernius to where I’m at. This is a photograph he gave us.”Since Winnie wanted to leave the important point to the last, she started off by telling Greta about Mason. As she spoke, she showed the photograph to Greta on her phone.The smile faded from Greta’s face gradually when she saw that photograph. “Yeah, it’s mine. I’ve been keeping the photo with me over the past few years. Since I was in a hurry to leave, I didn’t have time to pack my stuff. I’ve heard from my colleagues that he’s looking for me. I’ll deal with him personally later. Let’s talk about something else. It’s about Captain Bennett.”Winnie’s eyes lit up when she heard Greta mention Christopher first. “We couldn’t find his body afterward. Furthermore, you disappeared at around the same time too! You brought him away, right?”“Yes.” Greta nodded and recalled what happened.“Our car and Mr. Fairchild’s car were at the front back then. Professor White and Mdm. Sumner was in Mr. Fairchild’s car while the other mercenaries, Captain Bennett, and I were in Mason’s car. Since you and Dr. Houghton had not arrived yet, they decided to leave me behind to meet you. After that, everyone else headed to the top floor to wait for the helicopter. Before I heard the gunshots from the top floor, I had no clue that Yulissa was already hiding there. My only mission was to wait for you to come. It was already too late for me to rush up by the time I heard those gunshots on the top floor. In addition, the first helicopter had already arrived. I had no idea what happened until I found out later on that the first helicopter only brought Professor White away. Then, the car with you and Dr. Houghton arrived with Harold’s men hot on your tail. Since I was designated to be a sniper, I didn’t immediately reveal my location when I saw Harold pursuing you. I’ve been hiding all along. Soon afterward, Captain Bennett plummeted down the building. You dragged Rachel, who was then unconscious, to the top floor, with Harold’s men still pursuing you closely.”She took a deep breath and continued, “Still, I didn’t make a move. On the first day when Captain Bennett entered Lightspring, I already knew that he was my colleague. Hence, when you left, I immediately checked on his injury. If he had plummeted straight from the top floor, his death would’ve been certain. However, I witnessed the entire process of his fall. He had actually tried to save himself after toppling over. First, he stuck close to the glass windows of the building and slid down throughout. It was only after he crashed into a platform around the second floor that he fell to the ground freely. Since I rushed him back to our organization for emergency treatment, he didn’t die. It was such an urgent situation that I didn’t have time to inform the organization. The decision to bring Captain Bennett away was wholly my own, which greatly risked exposing
