'If I told her, it would only make one more person suffer." Shane lowered his eyes, gloomy and depressed. 'This makes me think again. Regarding the modification of the S404 virus profile, please confirm again."
Liam sighed, he didn't continue to advise him anymore. "Yes."

Noon.
Bertha had just returned to Angel when she received a phone call.
'Boss, in recent months Mr. Shane has no history of being in or out of any hospital. Normally, the places he visits the most are Miller Corporation, the National Bureau of Investigation, and the War Laboratory."
Bertha thought carefully. 'I remember the lab also has PhDs in the medical world, does Shane go there often?"
'Once every seven days, then basically every five days, the last time was three days ago, he came in the evening."
Three days ago.
Bertha's beautiful eyebrows frowned, three days ago, Shane was still at the border, right?
But at that time, he returned to S city ahead of schedule. Moreover, he didn't return to Miller's house to look for her at night, but he ran to the laboratory, which was strange.
Intuition tells Bertha that she must have some secret.
'Can you hack the lab's information network, and investigate Shane's notes in the lab?"
The other side of the phone was silent for a moment. "Sorry boss, those places all have extremely sophisticated national technology networks. I can't hack them and I don't dare hack them. If I hack, I will be discovered immediately."
'Okay, I know."
After hanging up the phone, she fell into thought again.
Shane is the boss of the National Investigation Bureau, his status is equal to her eldest brother. If he wants to hide something, even if she asks her eldest brother to get the documents, the content will be modified.
She can't investigate at all, it's all just speculation.
While Bertha's investigation was at a standstill, Uncle Clark suddenly called.
'Miss, today S City's high-ranking prison called Griselda's house. They said Bruno wanted to see you."
'Bruno?"
Bertha feels strange, Bruno has been in prison for more than half a year, so why does he suddenly want to see her?
Uncle Clark continued talking. 'Bruno said, he has a very important secret, I'm sure you'll want to hear it, it's related to your ex-husband."
Hearing the last few words, Bertha's eyebrows furrowed, her expression becoming more and more serious.
"I know."
She quickly hung up the phone and drove to a high-level prison. She also wanted to know what Bruno knew.
—
Bertha sat in the prison visiting room, separated by two layers of soundproof glass, waiting silently.
Five minutes later Bruno was brought out.
This was the first time Bertha had met Bruno in more than half a year.
Bruno wore heavy handcuffs and leg cuffs, and every step he took was very slow.
His arms and neck had blue bruises, his skin was rough, and he had a beard under his chin, completely different from his previous handsome appearance.
Except for his eyes, which were a distinctive deep blue, Bertha almost didn't recognize him.
Bruno looked straight at her from the glass layer, he picked up the phone receiver.
Bertha did the same thing, she put the stethoscope to her ear.
'Bertha, long time no see, you seem very surprised, have you forgotten me so quickly?"
Bertha looked indifferent, her voice was extremely cold. 'I didn't come here to listen to you talk about old things. If you don't talk, I will leave now."
Bruno smiled bitterly. 'Bertha, you are always so indifferent, your whole heart goes to that little pet of yours."
Seeing Bertha move to put down the receiver, Bruno quickly spoke. 'Okay, I'll talk about the main issue."
His eyes were slightly narrowed, the smile at the corner of his lips was evil and surprising, and his voice was deep and hoarse. 'Bertha, even though I'm in prison, I understand better than anyone else, your current fiancé, Shane is your ex-husband from City X before, your pet, right?"
Bertha was a bit surprised, she calmly smiled coldly. 'Who did you hear say that, I don't even know about this."
'I just can't understand, he has such a serious illness, but he still wants to get engaged to you."
Bertha suddenly became serious, she suddenly slammed the table. 'What else do you know? What disease does he have?"
Bruno laughed in surprise. 'I know everything about him, besides me, probably not many people know these things."
'What are your conditions for exchanging these secrets?" Bertha quickly calmed down, and her mind became clear.
Bruno clapped his hands. 'You are still as smart as before, I talk to you without wasting any effort."
Bertha couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes. 'I don't want to hear this nonsense, please speak frankly."
Bruno smiled evilly, his eyes were deep blue and dark, and the corners of his lips were close to the receiver, speaking in a very low voice.
'You tell Fawn to sponsor me, annul your marriage to Shane, and marry me."
Bertha frowned.
'I told my eldest brother to bail you out of prison, this is no problem, except for this, other things, we don't need to discuss."
Bruno lowered his eyes, he felt a bit hurt. 'It seems like you love him. Don't worry, I just need a place to hide. After I went to prison, Felix's house was held tightly in my brother's hands. Because to gain control and fame, he wanted to get rid of his younger brother, me, so after I went out, Griselda's house had to protect me so I could start anew."
Bertha remained unmoved, her expression cold as ice. 'You thought my engagement with Shane was too simple, I can't decide this matter."
'Don't joke with me, you are the treasure of Griselda's house, if you cancel the engagement, they will only lose a little money. As long as you want to cancel, I believe Fawn will have her red lips pursed, but she said nothing."
Bruno continued talking. 'Moreover, aren't you curious about the secret of his body? I guarantee you will want to hear: sponsor me, cancel the engagement with him, marry me, these three conditions, you cannot lack any of them."
Bertha bowed her head and was silent for a long time.
