"Alright. I''ll do some cleaning first, then I''ll prepare lunch. Ms. Luca, is there anything you''d like to have
for lunch?" the maid asked.
"No. Anything will do," replied Luca as she carried the folders in her arms and made her way up the
stairs.
Luca pushed the bedroom door open and ced the two folders on her dressing table. She opened the
folders and nced at the documents. There was not much content to be tranted.
Luca opened another folder with some confusion and realized there was not much content in this folder
either.
The documents that needed to be tranted should increase when the project was reaching the final
stage.
Why were the documents getting fewer?
Luca thought she would be able to finish tranting these by afternoon. Hence, she put the folders
aside and returned to the study. She wanted to continue her experiment by separating theponents
in the sample.
On the other hand.
Jason drove Luke to Watson Biopharmaceuticals.
Everyone in the office tensed up the moment Jason pushed Luke into the office. They had already
found out about Dr. Albus'' matter, and they knew how serious it was when they saw their bosse to
the office himself.
The manager of thepany came out to wee Luke. He was so nervous that there were beads of
sweat on his forehead when he saw Luke and Jason.
"Boss, this way." The manager saw the cold look on Luke''s face. It was much colder than the cold,
blustering wind out there. Even though Luke was sitting in a wheelchair, he still had an imposing aura
on him. The manager did not even dare to take a deep breath when he was standing beside him.
Jason pushed Luke to the elevator.
The manager quickly pressed the button.
The elevator was already waiting on the first floor. The doors slowly slid open the moment he pressed
the button.
Jason pushed Luke into the elevator, while the manager followed behind them. He pressed the floor
where the meeting room was at.
The doors closed, blocking the gazes of the other employees in the lobby.
The manager did not feel any better after entering the elevator.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and shot a nce at Jason.
They usually got along with each other well, and Jason was usually lenient with others. However, the
expression on Jason''s face was serious now.
The manager looked at the numbers that gradually went up as the elevator rose. He was wondering
why such a thing happened when he had only taken over the manager position for two months.
What rotten luck!
“Has anyone looked at the surveince footage?" Jason asked first. Luke remained silent and gloomy.
Hence, Jason was the one who started asking questions.
"The security department is already going through the footage. We''ll screen through any suspicious
people and start investigating," the manager answered immediately. The moment such big trouble was
exposed to the public, he followed Dr. Albus'' advice and initiated the investigation right away.
However, there were too many surveince cameras in the office building. It would take some time to
get to the bottom of the case.
Besides, there were more than ten researchers on Dr. Albus'' research team. The researchers were
also within the scope of the investigation.
After all, they participated in the whole process of the research. They might be the ones who sold the
research data to someone else.
"Any clues?" Jason asked again.
The manager pulled a long face, shook his head, and replied, "The scope of the investigation is still too
big, and the relevant personnel is still investigating it."
"It''s too slow." Luke, who had been keeping silent, spoke in a dissatisfied tone. "Ask Gale to conduct
the investigation."
The manager blinked his eyes. Gale? It was only when Jason replied that he realized Luke was not
talking to him.
Gale was going to be involved in this matter. It seemed like Luke was taking it seriously.
Jason picked up the phone and sent a message to Gale. Jason briefly told him what had happened and
asked him to head to Watson Biopharmaceuticals now.
The elevator reached the floor where the meeting room was on.
Jason pushed Luke''s wheelchair and walked out of the elevator.
Dr. Albus and a few professors were standing outside the elevator waiting for them.
Dr. Albus stepped forward when he saw Luke walk out of the elevator. "Boss, please, you have to get
people to investigate this matter and clear my and my team''s names!"
Dr. Albus knew that he would have to bear the brunt of this situation if the oue of the investigation
was bad. What he would be facing then was an unbearable price that he would have to pay for the rest
of his life.
Hence, Dr. Albus could not be bothered to find out who the culprit was. He wanted to prove his
innocence first, then continue with the rest of it.
Luke did not say anything. It was not that he had never seen such a scene before.
T Corporation had always been making people green with envy. Many of them wanted to steal T
Corporation''s confidential information to gain some benefits. This was not the first time such things
happened.
However, this was the first time that it had caused such a big loss to T Corporation.
This whole time, there were no cases of confidential information and research data being reported
stolen. That was why Luke did not expect this to happen. Of course, the losses could not be avoided.
“Start the meeting," said Luke in a cold voice.
Jason heard Luke and pushed him to the meeting room immediately.
The professors did not follow Luke when they saw this. They talked in low voices to each other instead.
"It looks like the boss isn''t in a good mood. We''d better keep our mouths shut."
"Can he be in a good mood after everything that has happened? It''s a huge loss. Dr. Albus, good luck
to you." Another research professor said to Dr. Albus.
Dr. Albus looked depressed.
The manager who was standing beside them urged them, saying, "Stop talking about it here. Hurry up
and go in. Otherwise, everyone will have to suffer if the boss continues to be in a bad mood."
The professors trotted to the meeting room once he said that.
The meeting started with dead silence in the room.
Luke looked at them with his sharp eyes. They were usually very talkative when they were asking for
funds for their research. They kept asking for more to fund their research.
Now, everyone was keeping silent after something had happened.
"Tell me. What are you going to do about what happened this time?" Luke asked. Although he said
more words now, his tone of voice still sounded cold and eerie.

Although the meeting room was warm enough with the heating, it felt as though the windows in the
meeting room were open. The cold, blustering wind was blowing in, making them shiver in the cold.
The manager noticed that the professors were not speaking at all. As the manager of thepany, he
had no choice but to stand up. "Boss, in my opinion, other than finding out the identity of the person
who disclosed the research data, the most important thing is to figure out what we''re going to do next.
Some professors'' researches are already at the stage of clinical trials. We shouldn''t make any more
mistakes this time. We have to implement a measure to make sure all research data is strictly
confidential."
The look on Luke''s face became even darker after listening to such a typical response. He turned to
look at Dr. Albus. "Dr. Albus?"
The person who was named stood up immediately and trembled for a moment, "Yes, Boss. I''m here."
"Your team''s drug research had the highest funds among all the research teams. What do you think
about this? How are we going to deal with the losses?" Luke asked again.
Dr. Albus trembled again and replied, "Boss, it seems that apart from finding out who''s the
whistleblower, we''ll have tounch a new drug in the market as soon as possible to shut down the
rumors and stabilize thepany''s development."
