Winnie and the rest heard the metal door of the interrogation room being opened from the outside.
A female police officer wearing a uniform strode in charismatically.
She marched in with her back straight and her gaze fixed forward. When she reached James, she saluted him.
Although her aura had changed completely after she donned the police uniform, Winnie and the rest recognized her instantly.
She was none other than Greta.
When they exchanged glances with one another, Josiah immediately raised his eyebrows at Winnie and Xavier. See, my guess is right! She’s from the police!
Winnie shot a small smirk at Josiah before turning her gaze toward Greta.
It’s great that this is her true identity. No wonder she’s so inclined toward justice and sunlight despite being stuck in a place filled with darkness. Turns out that she’s the epitome of justice!
Greta was looking at her as well when Winnie glanced over.
In that instant, their eyes met. As Winnie gazed at the familiar yet foreign face in front of her, the scene of them stuck in the middle of a raging gunfight flashed across her mind. When they locked eyes and exchanged a smile with each other, it seemed like peace had dawned upon the world again and an entire lifetime had passed.
When James saw that Greta had come, he said to Winnie and the rest, “Let me introduce her to you. She is Officer Margareta Lockhart who works with us in public security. You’ve met her outside the borders before. Back then, she was working as an undercover spy on behalf of our organization. Despite the numerous close calls, she has now returned to us safe and sound. Still, I did not expect you to be so insistent on finding out Officer Lockhart’s whereabouts and identity. In fact, you even discovered who her previous comrade was. That created quite a huge commotion.”
After a short pause, he continued, “Regardless of whether it’s Officer Lockhart’s ex-comrade of herself, their files are under national protection. Leveraging all your connections and recklessly investigating Officer Lockhart have posed a huge threat to her safety. Hence, I’ve invited all of you here, hoping that you’d stop investigating Officer Lockhart and the other soldiers. Don’t interfere with the activities of the nation’s public security authorities. Since I know that you’d inevitably have many questions, I called Officer Lockhart over today to clarify some of your doubts. That being said, I hope that the three of you will refrain from asking any questions that shouldn’t be asked. I’ll be keeping an eye on you from outside.”
“Got it!” replied Winnie and the rest simultaneously. They also promised to stop all investigations regarding Greta and her comrade.
“Okay. Thank you for your cooperation.” James rose to his feet and nodded at Greta before leaving the interrogation room alone.
