"But we haven''t been able to determine the reason for her visit yet."


    Ebony Fox had been invited by the state, so her itinerary was under strict confidentiality for security reasons. While skilled hackers could potentially breach the national military intelligencework, it was a line they dared not cross. Cybeic Shadows had no idea their target was connected to the government, so it was no surprise they''d hit a dead end.


    "You don''t know the reason?" Shanley repeated the words, the chill in his eyes deepening.


    The agent on the other end remained silent.


    "Keep digging,” Shanley ordered, keeping his voice low so as not to wake Juniper.


    The mention of Ebony Fox''s involvement in "assassination" activities put him on high alert. It didn''t matter if they couldn''t find anything. To ensure Juniper''s absolute safety, he would rather eliminate any potential threat, no matter how small the chance. If necessary, he would take care of Ebony Fox himself.


    Perhaps it was thefort of being home. Juniper slept deeply, and she began to dream of her childhood. In the dream, a girl with delicate features and a spirited glint in her eyes was squatting in front of her.


    "Give your big sister a smile," the girl cooed, pinching her cheek and dangling a lollipop. "Our little sister has the prettiest smile."


    When she smiled, the girl excitedly picked her up. “Such an adorable baby. We can''t have anyone bullying you. When you''re a little bigger, I''ll teach you how to fight."


    Juniper strained to open her eyes, trying to see the girl''s face clearly, but no matter how hard she tried, her features remained a blur.


    The next moment, the scene abruptly shifted to a dark, damp room. The same sister who had been smiling at her was now on the floor like a stray dog, a chain around her neck. Under the harsh white light, her body was covered in wounds, her face ashen and bloodless, as if she''d just been pulled from the depths of the sea.


    "My little sister..."


    Juniper was jolted awake.


    "What''s wrong?" Shanley, who had been sitting by the bed reading documents, immediately leaned in, his voice filled with concern. "Did you have a nightmare?"


    "Yeah," Juniper whispered, wiping


    the cold sweat from her forehead.

    She leaned weakly into his arms. dreamed about my sister. She she wasn''t doing well. Grandpa always says that dreams are the opposite of reality."


    "Your grandpa''s right," Shanley soothed, gently patting her back. "Are you missing your sister?"


    "I don''t know why, I just suddenly dreamed of her,” Juniper said, her brow furrowed with an inexplicable sorrow.


    They had found her three brothers,


    but what about her three sisters? Girls weren''t like boys. For an orphan girl to grow. safely in this world without family was incredibly difficult. She knew that from her own experience. If it hadn''t been for her grandfather, she might have died somewhere long ago.


    "Your three brothers and I are looking for them. I''m sure we''ll have news soon," Shanleyforted her, his own heart heavy at her distress. "Don''t worry, I''m sure they''re alive and well."


    "I hope so,” Juniper murmured, feeling a little better after his reassurance. "Juniper..." Seeing her color return, Shanley asked cautiously, "Have you... ever been to the Amazon Rainforest?"


    “I have,” Juniper replied, not understanding why he''d suddenly bring it up. Then it clicked. He probably heard about what happened at school, about the new chief instructor from there.
