Paying for his little brother's transportation expenses was just compensation for leaving him alone at home during this period of time.
Although Mindy treasured the new car very much, and Joseph couldn't drive it himself, he could still get a free ride.
Luke had given the car to her, so Mindy was too embarrassed to ride a motorcycle herself. She had Joseph continue to ride the bike.
In the following days, Luke went into idle mode again. When he had nothing to do, he would drink coffee with the CEO in front of the glass window at HQ, or he would take Elena to sketch.
In this peaceful life, Dr. Shi Deng's research gradually entered an optimal state after he received the cooperation and participation of his "research subjects".
The two women who played with poison weren't normal to begin with. Coupled with their special physiques, pheromone control wasn't very effective on them.
But with Dr. Shi Deng eyeing them covetously, the two women knew that they couldn't keep resisting.
If they didn't give in one more step, the two of them might really end up lying on the operating table and dying as a "research subject" with no future.
Ophelia finally released some of the nanotoxin technology that she had been keeping a tight lid on.
Claudia also started to try to cultivate the Blood Orchid.
Although their lives were much worse than before, after expressing their willingness to cooperate, Luke also improved their treatment.
Luke's No. 2 space was now a cube with a length, width, and height of 100 meters.
In their respective spaces, there were books, computer games, TV series, movies, music, and even a swimming pool in a small garden.
As long as Luke needed it, he could create twenty five-meter-tall, ten-thousand-square-meter mansions, which were much more spacious than the two women's previous villas of a few hundred square meters.
Between improving their treatment and becoming "pure research subjects," the two women didn't hesitate for too long, and decisively chose to live more comfortably.
But once they got on this slow-moving research train, they couldn't get off.
If they wanted to be treated in the future, they would have to produce the same results.
The two women and the man were all PhDs who had been engaged in relevant research for a long time.
After devoting himself to research seriously, Luke finally began to push forward the projects that had almost been frozen.
Ophelia's nanotoxin was first-rate, and could be combined with many technologies. It was very effective both against enemies and against toxins.
The artificial cultivation of the Blood Orchid could further analyze the characteristics of this plant and explore the reason for its effect. It might even be able to mass-produce it.
Dr. Shi Deng, on the other hand, was researching how to use Life One to enhance human functions and extend lifespan.
Luke was very straightforward. "If this project succeeds, you'll be the first person to enjoy the results."
Hearing this, even though Dr. Shi Deng still missed Project Green Fat, he also recognized reality.
If the new boss didn't provide the materials, how could he do the Green Fat Project?
Luke was also relieved. He had finally suppressed the guy's obsession for now.
Dr. Shi Deng was Luke's "research asset." If he was half-hearted, he would be wasting Luke's research results!
…
It was already the middle of November. One night, at ten o 'clock, the office, which hadn't opened for business for a long time, suddenly received a new commission. The client was Dustin, whom he hadn't seen in a while.
On the phone, his voice was clearly dry. "Luke, it's me."
"Good evening. You finally don't have to spend time with Jennifer today?" Luke didn't think much of it, and smiled casually.
Dustin was busy with work and tried to spend time with Jennifer at night. The two of them basically talked on the phone at night.
Dustin, however, was silent for a few seconds before he said, "I have a request."
Luke slowly straightened his posture on the couch. "Who is it?"
Dustin said, "It's me. It's purely personal. It's best if only you know about it."
Luke was shocked when he heard that.
Such a serious, purely personal request depended entirely on their relationship.
As long as Dustin didn't get himself killed in the future, he had to help Luke with all his might to return the favor.
Dustin and Luke had worked together for so long, and only the favor that time when Luke had saved them was worth it.
Thinking that, Luke slowed down. "No problem. Remember, you owe me again."
Upon hearing this, Dustin heaved a sigh of relief.
It was like how people generally didn't mind helping someone they had helped before, as long as the other party expressed great gratitude.
In fact, people trusted their creditors more, provided that the creditor never pressed them for money.
Dustin looked at the rearview mirror. In the backseat, Jennifer was draped in his coat and didn't say anything.
He took a deep breath and said, "I'm in Long Beach. There's an accident in the woods diagonally across from the Nixon Beach campsite. I need you to come over and deal with it."
After a pause, he couldn't help but add, "The sooner, the better."
Luke quickly agreed. "Okay, I'll be there in ten minutes. Be careful until I get there. "
After hanging up, Dustin heaved a sigh of relief.
At this point, there really weren't many people he could trust. Luke was the only one who was trustworthy and capable of taking care of any future problems.
Even so, his heart was still in a state of turmoil.
It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Luke, but that Jennifer was involved, and Dustin couldn't be completely at ease.
But he still comforted her. "Luke is a very reliable guy. It won't be a big problem today."
Jennifer heaved a long sigh. "What … am I?"
Dustin was lost for words for a moment.
If he said that his wife was Superman, he was afraid that it would trigger her unstable emotions.
If he said that she was useless, what about the guy in the grass outside?
After hesitating for a moment, Dustin, who had become much more eloquent over the past two years, gave the right answer. "You're my wife, the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with."
Jennifer did not say anything.
Tonight was really bad, but at least it wasn't the worst kind. That was what the female district attorney, who had her husband's support, thought to herself.
…
Luke was a punctual person, and was used to arriving five minutes early.
So, five minutes after Dustin made the call, Luke appeared in the bushes not far away.
After confirming that it was Luke, Dustin took out his phone, waved it in Luke's direction, and immediately turned it off.
In fact, Luke's Sharp Nose had already locked onto Dustin and his wife, as well as … someone else?
But the strong smell of blood confirmed one thing: Dustin's trouble definitely involved human lives, and it couldn't be small.
When they were close, Dustin got out of the car and approached them.
Luke spoke first to avoid unnecessary chatter. "What's going on? What do you need me to do? "
This had always been how they dealt with emergencies in the past.
Dustin was already used to this, and immediately explained in a low voice.
It wasn't complicated. In a nutshell, District Attorney Jennifer had just killed someone.
And D.A. Jennifer's light green kindness guaranteed that the person she had killed wasn't a good person.
Dustin had taken her to a specialty seaside restaurant for dinner that night. When they left the restaurant, they heard someone calling for help as they passed the bushes.
One of them was an old police officer, and the other was a tough woman. They weren't scared, and immediately stopped the car to check.
