"Yes." Rhett and the researchers left the office together.
Rhett did not return to theboratory. He returned to his office instead.
Mo Stone noticed a group of people walking into Luca''s office a moment ago. She could not help but
ask with curiosity, "Mr. Link, what happened? Why did Dr. Craw and the other professors gather all their
researchers and assistants in their respective offices?"
Luca was not the only one who did that in the whole building. That was why Mo Stone was curious
about it.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
"Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?" asked Rhett. There was no need to conceal
the matter. Thepany would announce it when the time came.
"He was a corporate spy?" Mo Stone widened her eyes. She never thought about it.
"Yes. Mr. Crawford told the professors. That''s why the professors gathered their researchers and
assistants to ask them whether or not they''ve ever revealed confidential information to Mr. Whitlock,"
added Rhett.
"That''s scary. Thepany has just started, and there was already a corporate spy among us." Mo
Stone adjusted her spectacles. She thought only big pharmaceuticalpanies had some espionage
going on.
She did not expect a corporate spy to be sent here to steal ssified information from apany that
was only established less than a year ago.
Still, thepany''s director was Luke Crawford.
It was an industry Luke had just gotten into. Even though it was still a smallpany, Luke was at the
peak of his career now. He made a huge profit no matter what he invested in. There was no doubt that
people would be green with envy.
"Yes. No one would have thought that either," said Rhett.
He did not think there was anything wrong with it when Mr. Whitlock asked for the research data from
Luca.
After all, Mr. Whitlock was thepany''s leader. It was understandable that he was concerned with
such matters.
Luca did not give him the information he requested at that time. Rhett could not understand why Luca
was reluctant to do so. After that, Rhett started to know something was off when Mr. Whitlock urged
Luca to hand in the data to him again and again.
Now that everything hade to light, Rhett thought it was fortunate that Luca had been careful at that
time.
“So, your team..." Mo Stone looked at him.
“No one in our team has revealed anything." Rhett shook his head.
"Didn''t Mr. Whitlock personally talk to you before?" Mo Stone remembered that Mr. Whitlock had
personallye down to look for Rhett at that time.
"Yes, but I didn''t tell him anything." Rhett was being magnanimous. He told Luca about it before. That
was why he was not afraid now. "Dr. Craw instructed us not to reveal the information to anyone. That''s
why we didn''t hand in the document to him."
"Dr. Craw has some extraordinary sense," eximed Mo Stone. She would be in big trouble if she gave
him the information.
Mo Stone asked another question with curiosity, "What does Mr. Crawford n to do to those people
who have revealed confidential information?"
"He might take urgent measures, but they won''t be held ountable for this as they didn''t know that
Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. Mr. Crawford told us that he wouldn''t punish us because of this, but
nothing like this should ever happen again," answered Rhett. Even though the research data was
ssified, thepany''s rules did not mention that no sharing was allowed between colleagues who
worked in the samepany.
"That''s fine, then," muttered Mo Stone. Previously, Mr. Whitlock had told everyone that he had the right
to manage the research funds distributed to every research team, hinting to the professors that they
needed to build a good rtionship with him.
At that time, some of the professors were close to Mr. Whitlock. Luca was the only one who dared to
reject Mr. Whitlock''s request in front of the others.
Many thought that pissing Mr. Whitlock off would end badly for them.
Everyone in thepany was talking about it when Luca rejected him.
What they talked about the most was that Luca had Luke''s support, which was why she was not afraid
of Mr. Whitlock.
Who would have expected things to turn out this way?
No matter whether Luca had anyone supporting her or not, she saved thepany a lot of trouble
when she rejected Mr. Whitlock''s requests back then.
"You didn''t disclose any information to him, right?" Rhett suddenly thought that Mo Stone would
sometimese into contact with the team''s research documents.
"What could I have revealed to him? You also know that ever since Dr. Albus'' incident, every professor
has made sure that they kept their research documents well. They would even ask their assistants to
photocopy the documents themselves. They hardly asked for my help. I''m only responsible for doing
odds and ends for them. I don''t even have the chance to look at those documents." What Mo Stone
said was true.
Now, when she was asked to photocopy some documents, the documents were mostly about
administrative information. She was not able toe into contact with those research data. Mr.
Whitlock knew about it. That was why he never tried to win her over.
"Oh yes, I heard that thepany will be holding a celebration party. It''s for your team," added Mo
Stone.
“Yes, Dr. Craw mentioned to us." Rhett nodded. He was not really interested in the celebration party.
It was Luca''s credit, after all. She was the one who led the team and sessfully developed the drug.
"Alright. I should leave first," said Mo Stone. The administrative department would help n the
celebration party. She had to confirm the number of employees who would be attending the party and
hand in the name list to the administrative department.
Rhett picked up the power bank on his office desk and charged his phone. When he saw how busy Mo
Stone was dealing with the trivial matters of the administrative department, he was d that he chose
to follow Luca.
The reason he chose to follow Luca was simple too.
Luca was the youngest and the most inexperienced among the professors. That was why she was less
demanding, and she would not have high expectations of her assistant.
There was a high chance that an inexperienced assistant like him would be her research
assistant.
Now, it seemed like he had made the right choice.
In the office...
Luca took out the two antidote samples and carefully ced them in the test tube rack. Then, she
walked out of her office and headed to theboratory.
"Dr. Craw." Rhett noticed that Luca was heading to theboratory. He quickly kept pace with her.
"Yes." Luca headed straight. She stood in front of theboratory entrance and swiped her ess card.
"Are you continuing with the experiment?" Rhett noticed that Luca was holding a test tube rack, and
there were test tubes in it.
One of them contained Amur''s blood.
"Yes." Luca walked toward the seat she usually sat in.
"Let me help you," Rhett suggested. Luca''s hand was injured. It was inconvenient for her to do such a
fiddly job.
"Sure. Thank you." Luca did not reject him. It could save her a lot of trouble if someone was willing to
help her.
Rhett sat in front of the experiment table. Hepleted every step ording to Luca''s instructions.
After that, they only had to wait for the analyzed result of the equipment.
"Dr. Craw, is that all?" Rhett asked.
"Yes." Luca nodded. "Mr. Link, please deliver the report to my office when it''s outter."
"Okay, no problem." Rhett nodded. Even though he had no idea what Luca was working on, he would
do everything she instructed him to.
Luca walked out of theboratory.
She returned to her office. When she was about to pick up some research papers and read them, her
phone suddenly rang.
Luca picked up her phone and saw an unknown number from the same city calling her. It was a
landline number.
"Hello?" Luca answered the call while she secretly wondered who it could be.
“Ms. Luca, it''s me." Tommy''s voice came from the other end of the line.
“Tommy?" Luca was surprised. Was Tommy not in school now?
"Ms. Luca, can youe to school now?" Tommy hesitated for a few seconds and asked.
