Compared with Daron and Hope, the two "second-generation leaders," Dr. Hank Pimm, the "first-generation leader," was undoubtedly the one who knew all its secrets!
Luke felt that he might as well look for the doctor and see what he had to say.
If possible, he wouldn't mind playing Santa Claus for this old man.
It just so happened that Christmas was coming, and this was undoubtedly a reasonable thing to do.
His previous investigation of Pim Technology had been normal, and he hadn't delved too deeply into it.
From his observation of Daron in the afternoon, Luke confirmed that the man wasn't stupid, and knew full well how valuable Pim particles were.
The reason why he had offered Pim particles as a loan was because the money would only bring forward Pim particles' profitability; without it, Pim Technology wouldn't have gone bankrupt.
After Luke's investigation, he discovered that after Hank Pimm was kicked out of the company, Daron had also secretly used his private funds to obtain a lot of scattered shares in Pim Technology.
On the surface, Daron only had 15.3% of the shares, but he had privately collected at least 26% of the shares. Pim Technology was indeed firmly in his hands.
But as Luke's investigation escalated, more and more evidence showed that the shares that Daron had privately obtained might not belong to him.
It was very likely that Daron had kicked Dr. Pimm out as a key "inside man," and he had also grasped the technology to create Pim particles.
Daron's scheming with the people behind the scenes to fight for the company's interests and power was inevitably a long-term process, which was also the norm for most large companies.
It was rare in the world to see a CEO like Jenny who didn't have to worry about anything.
Daron, on the other hand, had single-handedly tricked Dr. Pimm out, and also fought with Hope, the major shareholder, and other people behind the scenes.
Thus, he wasn't an obedient puppet, but an expert at playing politics.
Unfortunately, this guy was yellow neutral in the system panel.
For the system, the key to good and evil was whether human lives were involved.
Playing some commercial tricks clearly wasn't part of the system's calculations.
On the other hand, it wasn't very possible to obtain the technology for Pim particles through purely commercial means.
Luke didn't even need to investigate the clues exposed by the shareholders who had invested resources in the company; he could smell a familiar scent from the American government.
With these people around, it was impossible to sell the technology of Pim particles to people with unknown backgrounds. The American government would use all kinds of means to ensure that the technology would rot in their hands.
He did not want Titanium Phone Company to get involved in such a terrible matter.
A few months ago, some official departments had privately told Jenny to set up backdoors in Titanium phones, F2F, and QQ.
Jenny didn't say anything for now. This was the countermeasure she and Luke had discussed.
They had to wait for the right time and then let the company "accidentally" lose part of the code.
Jenny and the three companies had no idea who took the "lost" codes and who set up the backdoor.
Luke was the only one who knew, and he would be the one to ensure that the "lost" code wouldn't pose a threat to the company.
In his previous life, he was well aware of the mess that the US government had created.
It would never talk about morality when it came to maintaining its own rule.
Resistance was impossible. This was the default rule of the ruling class.
Now that Jenny was in this class, she couldn't do anything that violated the rules of her class.
Even someone like Luke could only try his best to keep Jenny and her career out of the picture, and barely cover it up by saying that the code had been "lost."
If she got involved in the muddy waters of Pim Technology at this time, it would be very easy for the authorities to scam her.
It was also for this reason that Pim Technology was fearless in this "empty handed" loan.
Even if Jenny didn't pay, someone else would take over sooner or later. Everything depended on the game behind the scenes.
Although his level two clone wouldn't return to New York for the time being, he didn't forget to farm points.
Luke rarely visited San Francisco.
Naturally, the gangsters here had never experienced the long-term "care" of the Ghost Butcher, Batman, and the black catgirl.
They had taken root in this top city in the United States and grown up without any wariness.
Luke, who had been farming points in secret recently, was very satisfied with this uncultivated leek field.
This time, he would find a suitable "balance" between the smallest movement and the biggest harvest to ensure that there was no unnecessary waste.
…
The days passed peacefully.
In five days, Misty was finally more or less fine.
During this time, she was lucky enough to run into Steve again. She went there to practice boxing and was coached by him for an hour.
This time, Steve didn't say anything else. He just taught her a way to adjust her mentality, which could prevent her from being too depressed to a certain extent.
Misty had picked up a huge bargain, and silently accepted the fact that she got off work at 3: 30 every day.
Then, Selina returned from her break.
Misty recovered and didn't hang on to Luke. She applied for a new partner from Walter in advance.
The next day at work, Selina greeted Misty, who came over on her own accord, and gave her a cupcake.
After Misty hurried her new partner out to investigate the case, Selina asked curiously, "She looks good. What happened before?"
Luke said, "I introduced her to a very good teacher for free. How could she not be happy?"
Selina was surprised. "Who?"
Luke blinked. "A handsome guy called Steve. He's very good at fighting."
Selina had a strange expression on her face. Looking at him for a moment, she seemed to understand something. "Hm, she's really lucky."
If it was that "Steve," it really wasn't suitable for them to talk here.
After delivering the cupcakes to the detectives in the Detective Bureau who were "online," Luke gave the rest to Connie as usual, and they left.
Luke had already asked Misty to take the previous cases.
He had spent most of his time in the past few days, and wasn't interested in fighting for cases.
When they got home in the afternoon, Luke took Selina to the basement.
This was his territory. Although Selina could come and go freely, she rarely stayed for long apart from putting on her equipment.
After all, she didn't play with modifications. Luke was very focused. If he didn't test his equipment here, he would basically be idle. He might as well train and learn.
After they entered, Luke ordered, "Show me Black Cat 1."
When Selina heard this, she immediately perked up. This name sounded like a toy for her.
A cabinet not far away opened to reveal the equipment inside.
Selina quickly stepped forward and sized it up carefully.
After a few glances, she turned around curiously. "This isn't armor?"
Luke had already walked over to a massage chair on the side. "Come, sit down and try it."
Selina immediately sat down. The chair's default half-reclining position made her feel very relaxed.
