Night fell, and the lights came on.
Duang!
Luke threw the hamburger into the trash with a disgusted expression.
He knew that Americans weren't good at making good food, and the big fast food chains were only so-so.
But the fried chicken wings were the second-best in the country, and the rest of the food could basically be classified as Director Sai's catchphrase — pig swill.
It's so rotten, but it still hasn't closed down? Are the people here all pigs? Luke complained inwardly.
Looking at the time, it was already seven in the evening.
It had taken so long because it was more troublesome to enter the forensics building as Louise.
Thus, after communicating with Luke, she would wait for the preliminary results of the forensics report before she went downstairs to meet him.
Luke wasn't in a hurry.
He had come to keep an eye on Lois Lane and make sure she was safe.
After all, this was a fierce woman who had slept with Superman. Who knew how many women would go crazy with jealousy?
Taking advantage of this free time, Luke sent two prototypes to Smallwell, Kansas, where Clark's adoptive mother, Martha Kent, lived.
That was because after hours of investigation, Luke had discovered that Lex was related to the recent public opinion against the United States.
He hadn't discovered it before because there were too many people involved.
Now that he had confirmed the conclusion that there was something wrong with Lex, it was another matter to look for a connection to Lex Corporation from the previous intelligence.
It was just like how most people didn't know that Clark was Superman, but if they determined that he was, it would be difficult for Clark to hide his identity.
While he was doing all this, Luke was still thinking about the "mom and girlfriend" jokes from his previous life.
For example, if Martha and Louise fell into the river at the same time, who would Clark save?
The answer should be "save them all." Only a child would be tricked into making a choice.
As he thought about these random things, Luke also sent away more than a dozen middle-aged women who had "accidentally slipped," "got lost," or "ran out of battery."
He wasn't impatient.
The Tengu had nothing to do with the gender of the Heavenly Seer, and only with their looks or money.
With Bell's looks, it wouldn't be normal if he wasn't a genius. It was fun to use it as entertainment.
In particular, he didn't mind chatting with women who were attractive enough — it wasn't like they would get pregnant.
Of course, such women were rare.
After a few hours, there were only two people in total.
One of them was Kate McKenney, an intern who frequented the White House.
Of course, the essence of this young blonde girl was not her Barbie-like hairstyle and makeup, but some of the "interesting things" in her workplace.
The other was an old aunt in her late fifties, Meryl Adams.
The "Adams" that she was referring to was the "Adams" that existed in American history.
Meryl also wanted to offer Luke a job, but Luke couldn't be bothered to think about whether or not it was because she didn't want him to work hard on his own.
The two of them discussed the reaction to the explosion in the Capitol and exchanged contact information.
Elementary Pheromone Control was just that unreasonable.
Luke didn't like the fact that he could summon them whenever he wanted, but he liked the fact that he could leave whenever he wanted.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked it up and said a few words before walking towards the entrance of the forensics building.
Although they had agreed to meet at Country Chicken, the food here was terrible.
Luke felt that it would be better to pick up Louise as soon as possible and switch to a coffee shop that wasn't as "pig food."
On the other side, Louise left the forensics lab and entered the underground parking lot.
As she walked to her car, she was already fumbling for her keys in her bag.
Get into the car as quickly as possible, and don't look for the keys in front of the car. This was a valuable lesson she had learned from living in America for many years. Otherwise, one day, someone would stick a gun barrel into the back of her head.
She didn't notice that a strong man was following her as she stepped out of the elevator.
Then, a staff member in a yellow striped vest shone a flashlight on the wall in front of her, as if he were checking the pipes.
The two of them gradually "sandwiched" Louise in the middle.
Louise glanced at the man in the yellow striped vest and felt that his side profile looked strangely familiar.
Out of habit as a reporter, she couldn't help but take a few more steps to get a better look.
In the end, the man in the yellow striped vest turned halfway around, leaving the back of his head exposed to her.
Louise frowned, but still turned around and walked to her car.
The man behind her, however, sped up and blocked her way.
Her heart tightened. "Sorry, what can I do for you?" As she asked the question, she grasped the pepper spray on the key string in her hand.
The man said, "Ms. Ryan, I have some top-secret information to discuss with you …"
Louise was stunned. "You're Bruce?"
The man was also stunned, but he immediately nodded. "Yes, we can get out of here …"
At that moment, a big hand reached out from behind her and covered her mouth, while the other hand pinned her arms to her sides.
Louise whimpered and cast a pleading look at "Bruce" in front of her.
In the end, the man lunged at her and, together with the man in the yellow striped vest, dragged her to a van from a maintenance company more than ten meters away.
The side door of the van was already open, and a big man was waiting inside.
Louise instantly realized that this was a long-planned kidnapping.
Just as she was shoved into the van, a slightly cold male voice rang out next to them. "What are you playing at? You look like you're having fun. "
The man in the yellow striped vest reacted quickly. He took out a gun from his waist and pointed it outside the passenger door — that was where the male voice had come from. Pu!
Pu! Pu! Zap! Zap!
With the sound of three iron nails piercing into flesh, the two men holding Louise hostage and the big man in the car fell to the ground, their bodies still twitching.
Louise, who had been thrown into the van, was still pouting. She basically didn't understand what was going on, when a big man collapsed in front of her, white foam already flowing out of his mouth.
She subconsciously leaned back.
Maybe he was poisoned or some kind of infectious disease! She had traveled to many places around the world, and had seen such low-probability events with her own eyes.
Louise's reaction was quick, but she used too much force. Her whole body fell out of the car door on her back, and the feeling of emptiness behind her made her panic, and she immediately screamed.
At that moment, a hand grabbed her shoulder and "swung" her back to the ground. "Sorry, Ms. Ryan, I'm a little late."
Louise turned around and saw Luke. "Who are you?"
Luke said, "Bruce Bell, who just spoke to you on the phone."
Louise warily stepped back. She had just been thrown into the van by the other "Bruce" and almost kidnapped.
Luke knew what she was thinking. "Ms. Ryan, these aren't my people, but Lex Luther's men."
