Business was business.
Since he was going to talk business with Chris in Universal Cube's name, he had to go through the motions.
After that, he called Jenny and arranged to meet her at night, saying that they were going to discuss the company's major development plans.
Jenny spat at him over the phone and then "mom ~" before she hung up with a smile.
Luke scratched his head. I'm serious. What's with your attitude? I'll show you how scary it is to be the chairman of the board tonight.
After everything was done, he unhurriedly prepared dinner.
He had plenty of time to work early today.
More importantly, until he was sure what Mr. Smith was up to, it was better to stay put.
While he was searching for suspicious information on the Internet with a small program that he had made himself, a program on his laptop sent him a reminder.
He looked at the reminder and opened a forum. He compiled a certain garbled message and read it, only to be rendered speechless.
Mr. Smith was truly a lunatic.
It was a message that Smith had sent using the contact number he had left behind. It had been forwarded by a computer and turned into a garbled post on a certain large forum.
The message wasn't too complicated, but it was explosive, and revealed the ins and outs of the incident with baby Oliver.
The night before yesterday, Smith had saved a young pregnant woman with a baby on the east side. He had killed more than twenty gunmen who had come after him, but the pregnant woman had still been killed, and he could only leave with the baby.
To Smith's surprise, neither the pregnant woman nor the gunfight appeared in the newspapers the next day. It seemed that the media hadn't heard anything at all.
At noon the next day, he had passed by Elsworth Park and tried to send the baby to a welfare agency through a stranger's hands.
In the end, the gunfight that had drawn Luke's attention took place. Unwilling to let the baby fall into the hands of the gunmen in black, Smith had taken him away again.
After that, Smith was hunted down by another group of men in black suits. He felt that something was off.
At night, with Luke's help, Smith killed all the gunmen who had attacked his temporary residence.
Following the clues, he tracked them to the second floor of the rock bar, where he found a secret place for artificial insemination. Several men in black suits and pregnant women were dead.
The pregnant woman he saved was one of the survivors who escaped from here last night.
After the battle that night, Smith went to several places to search for clues and discovered the origins of the bearded man and the black-suited security guard.
The bearded man was a thug from Hammerson Defense.
The men in black suits were City Councilor Henry Elsworth's security team.
Henry Elsworth had leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant.
No one knew if he had looked for his son and brother, or if their bone marrow didn't match.
In the end, Henry thought of artificial insemination, using newborns to create matching bone marrow for himself.
The bearded man and the Hammerson Defense Company behind him also heard the news. They wanted Henry dead, so they sent people to raid the secret location of the rock bar and kill the surrogate and the security guards.
Henry Elsworth's condition could worsen at any moment, and his only hope now was the only surviving baby.
Smith contacted him and boarded the councilman's private plane.
After the plane took off, he discovered at the last moment that Henry Elsworth had already compromised with Hammerson and sold him out.
He had no choice but to seize Henry and shoot the councilman dead. He then jumped out of Henry's private plane, which led to the flying body incident at the bowling alley.
Even Luke gasped when he saw that.
Smith was even more reckless than Detective John!
Detective John was ruthless when it came to killing robbers, but Smith was ruthless when it came to killing bigwigs.
In fact, Luke wouldn't have been so stubborn even in such situations.
In any case, he was an upright detective. When he ran into a bigshot like Henry, he had to change his face and see him off.
Luke was glad that he didn't have any sweat on his forehead. Thank goodness. Henry Elsworth, Chairman Hammerson, and the bearded man were all Mr. Smith's handiwork.
Chairman Hammerson and the bearded man had also vanished into thin air.
Mr. Smith was a super assassin. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, he could hide anywhere in the world and never show his face again.
Luke drank his tea and looked at the meat on the grill now and then, wondering if there were any loose ends that he hadn't cleaned up.
In the end, he confirmed that there weren't any.
The bag of cash had been found in Taha's safe on a trip to Paris, and Luke couldn't be implicated in it.
The guns he gave Smith were the ones that Damon and Mindy had traded for him, and had been left untouched in the basement.
The Glock he gave to Smith was also a gun that had been replaced on its own. There was no record of it.
The card that Smith received was one of his backup secret contacts. There was no name on it, only a number.
The card seemed to have been taken out of Luke's pocket, but he had actually taken it out of his inventory. He had even been wearing a thin glove when he tossed the card out.
The real problem was that Smith had killed Henry Elsworth.
But Luke had been standing in front of the bowling alley with Sonia and the others when Henry's plane crashed.
So, the world was at peace!
Coming to this conclusion, Luke called out to Selina with a smile, "Selina, have a taste of the barbecue."
Selina had just finished showering, and she came out in a bathrobe.
She tasted a small piece of meat and nodded. "It's just right, but it's not ready yet."
As she spoke, she took off her bathrobe, revealing the bikini underneath, and stepped into the bathtub that had already been filled with water.
She had a lot of training that night, and had to seize the opportunity to take a bath and sunbathe.
At four in the afternoon, Elsa called him. "Where are you?"
Luke adjusted his mood and said in a low and tired tone, "I'm on a case. I just got home."
Elsa said, "Wait at home. There's something I need to talk to you about."
Luke: "What?"
Elsa: "… Why do I feel that you're a lot more energetic all of a sudden?"
Luke immediately lowered his voice. "No, I'm just … pleasantly surprised."
Elsa snorted. "That's enough. There's something I need to talk to you about over the phone. That's all. "
Luke put down his phone and scratched his head.
Why did Elsa suddenly want to talk to him? It had been so long. Although she knew his address, she had never visited him.
In her words, she could see him at work every day, and there was no need for her to go home.
