Chapter 965

Isabella Langley frowned, her fingers unconsciously tapping the desk.

"If what you're saying is true, the situation is more complicated than we imagined."

Vivian Laurent gently touched her rounded belly, determination flashing in her eyes.

"I need to meet Annika Heilbronn in person. She might be our breakthrough."

Isabella nodded in agreement. For the past two months, the Zero organization's activities had escalated. They thought the fake doctor incident was over, but new troubles had emerged.

"I'll go with you. Let's arrange the trip now."

Patrick Alpinus's call came at the perfect moment. He could arrange their meeting with Annika.

The next morning, they boarded an international flight. Vivian texted Ethan Roscente, telling him she was going on vacation with her best friend so he wouldn't worry.

At the airport exit, Patrick had been waiting for some time.

"Do you need to rest at the hotel first?"

Vivian shook her head, her long hair swaying in the breeze.

"We rested on the plane. Let's go see Annika directly."

Patrick looked slightly surprised but took them straight to the prison. During the drive, he studied Vivian through the rearview mirror.

"Annika's tight-lipped. We haven't gotten any useful information from her. She's truly worthy of being in the top ten of the Agent Leaderboard."

A faint smile touched Vivian's lips. If only Patrick knew the second-ranked agent "Shadow" was sitting in his car.

"Our conversation can't be recorded."

Patrick frowned. "That's against protocol."

Vivian's gaze sharpened like a blade.

"Protocols are flexible. If you insist on recording, I have ways to make sure you hear nothing."

She paused, her tone carrying undeniable confidence.

"I caught Annika. I can take her from you and return her without you noticing."

Patrick's grip on the steering wheel tightened. Mrs. Roscente was far from ordinary.

"I'll turn off the recorder, but you have to tell me your real identity."

Vivian chuckled, a flash of mischief in her eyes.

"I'm Vivian Laurent. Feel free to investigate if you don't believe me, Officer Alpinus."

Patrick gritted his teeth. He'd already dug into Vivian's background and found nothing. Even Ethan Roscente remained tight-lipped.

Who was this woman?

The police car entered the prison gates. Officers saluted as they passed.

"Captain Alpinus."
