Forty minutes later, Luke drove Jenny's car out of the parking lot at the phone company's headquarters.
As Jenny touched up her makeup, she was a little anxious. "Are you sure you can get to Stark Plaza before midnight?"
Luke stepped on the gas pedal and steadily sped up. "Trust me. I'm a professional at driving. You can call me an old driver. "
Jenny rolled her eyes and ignored his baffling words.
Was it very proud of a magnate with a net worth of over a hundred billion to say that he was a professional driver? Anyone who drove for rich people was a professional driver.
If Luke hadn't volunteered to guarantee that she would get there on time, Jenny wouldn't have let him drive.
At 11: 58, Jenny opened the door with a pale face. "You don't have to wait for me today. Go have fun yourself. Ew ~ "
Luke chuckled. "No problem, CEO."
Jenny rolled her eyes at him and got out to close the door.
At that moment, a car lined up behind Luke, and Pepper got out.
Looking at the two women chatting warmly, Luke smiled, started the car, and slowly walked around the door to leave.
His gaze subconsciously lingered on the rearview mirror, and he couldn't help but compare the interaction between the two women with his meeting with Tony.
Then, he had to admit that the young man was a little tsundere, a little impolite, and a little venomous, but it was much better than the two women's business bragging.
Suddenly, he saw a white man in his forties get out of the car in front of the restaurant.
After tossing the Lamborghini Reventon to the doorman, the man was actually … hitting on Pepper?
Although the man's actions were within the normal range of etiquette, Luke had seen all sorts of people.
The man's actions were vaguely invasive, which made Pepper feel a little uncomfortable.
… Do I need to remind Tony about this? Luke mumbled to himself, But it seems easier to end our friendship if you tell a friend about this.
He stopped the car and continued to pay attention to the situation at the door.
Thankfully, Jenny took two steps back when the man bowed to Pepper.
This domineering female CEO had been traumatized after being kidnapped by those drug dealers, and was very resistant to strangers getting too close.
Pepper was a little embarrassed, but she still squeezed out a smile and said a few words before leaving with Jenny.
The middle-aged man revealed a faint smile on his face as he followed them in.
Rolling his eyes, Luke turned the wheel and drove the car into a parking lot not far away.
A moment later, an ordinary-looking Caucasian youth walked into the restaurant and walked in alone.
This was, of course, a certain someone in disguise.
Even though they were strategic partners, he felt that he should help Tony eliminate the hidden danger of the wall collapsing.
Cough, cough! Therefore, he really wasn't here to watch the show. He was only here to put his safety first.
Maybe there really was something wrong with that flashy middle-aged man!
Sitting in a corner of the restaurant, Luke ordered a bunch of random dishes and played on his phone.
In fact, he was operating the drone to look for traces of the middle-aged man.
They soon discovered that this guy wasn't eating with Pepper Jenny, but with another woman.
On the sunglasses, Little Snail had already transferred this person's information.
The man's name was Aldrich Killian, and he had a PhD in biology. He opened a technology company called AIM, but he didn't seem to be making any big moves.
Luke searched for academic papers and tech news, and confirmed that there really wasn't anything special about this company.
However, the woman who was eating with Killian was also a PhD in biology and was quite famous in the academic world.
This was very normal.
When Luke was a detective, he often ate with his colleagues. It wasn't unusual for two PhDs in biology to have a meal together.
Secondly, Killian's red name didn't surprise Luke.
As long as a scientist was involved in some illegal research projects, it was inevitable that he would have a red name.
Forget a little-known biotech company like Pioneer Technologies, even the famous pharmaceutical companies in America had a lot of red names.
Those doctors and researchers deliberately ignored the danger and sold highly addictive painkillers and prescription drugs on the market. In the system, they were equivalent to big drug dealers.
It was obvious that the officials of the Food and Drug Administration would give the green light to these dangerous drugs during their tenure, and then work for these pharmaceutical companies for high salaries after they retired.
So, the system wouldn't convict them just because they were legal in America.
After all, America was a peaceful country with a legal system. The power of pharmaceutical giants in America wasn't any lower than that of the bigshots in the arms and finance industries.
It was true that Luke could look for a few people to go missing or meet with an accident, but it wasn't realistic to kill all of them.
That was the cleverness of capital corporations.
They used the law to legally sell illegal drugs and enjoy their lives as philanthropists and celebrities.
Colombian and Mexican drug dealers were too crude, and weren't even worthy of carrying the shoes of these American drug dealers.
That being said, Luke still waited until Jenny and Pepper's dinner party was over and confirmed that they were fine before he left.
In any case, he didn't waste any time. He had tried all the dishes in the restaurant, and there were at least a few that tasted pretty good as a reward for himself.
Also, that Killian seemed a little interesting.
Luke wasn't interested in investigating him. The names in his little black notebook could last him another decade or so.
So … he sent Killian's information to Tony.
The tycoon was the victim here, and Luke was a tactful person. Naturally, he wouldn't overstep his bounds.
…
While Luke was on a leisurely vacation, the door of a biological laboratory in the Department of Cell Biology was suddenly pushed open at Greyburn University in New York.
Soldiers rushed in one after another and quickly occupied the laboratory.
The captain walked up to the middle-aged man who was staring at them in astonishment. "Dr. Samuel Stearns, right?"
The middle-aged man nodded blankly.
The captain sneered and waved his hand. "Find the relevant items and pack them up."
Hearing that, Dr. Stearns immediately stood up anxiously. "What are you doing? This is my lab. "
The captain pushed him back. "No, Dr. Stearns, it belongs to us now."
Thus, the soldiers kept moving things around in the lab.
Experiment data and reports were the first priority, followed by tubes of blood samples, which were also packed up and taken away.
In less than ten minutes, the lab was ransacked.
The captain gestured at the last two soldiers. "You go back. I'll transport the rest."
The two soldiers didn't say anything and left.
As their footsteps faded away, the captain and Dr. Stearns were the only ones left in the lab.
