Chapter 2047
Shanks noticed that she was hesitant. If he were stronger, Luca would not even have a chance tohesitate.
He said, "You can ask someone to help, but I don't want the medicinal materials that are sent to me tobe fake."
Luca understood what he meant. If those at the stronghold found the relevant medicinal materials, theyhad to send them to her to check. Only after confirming that they were authentic could they send themto the Island of Despair.
"No problem." Luca clenched the photos in her hand. "I have a condition, which is that I won't be askedto return to the Island of Despair."
"Abel won't have you go back as long as you don't get caught, don't worry." Shanks understood Abel.
"It's late. You should go now."
Luca glanced at the time. She did not linger and hurried back as she was worried that Luke would notsee her when he returned from the police station.
She left with the photos and the list in her hand.
Gale watched Luca leave the hotel and glanced at the time. He found that she spent less than 20minutes inside.
He could not help but make a joke. He was glad that his boss was not being cheated on.
Gales watched Luca take a taxi and leave. He hurried to keep up with her.
After Luca returned to the hotel, Gale parked the car on the side of the road and sent Luke a message.[Dr. Craw was at Galle Hotel for less than 20 minutes. She has now returned to the hotel safely.]
Luke looked at Gale's message and did not reply. Instead, he looked at the policeman and asked: [Canmy friends leave?]novelbin
"Yes. After the investigation and collection of evidence, we concluded that they acted out of selfdefensewhen they saw that the other party had guns. They didn't cause serious injuries, so they can leave now.I have to say, your friends are great at what they do,” the policeman said. There were more people onLuke's side. Although the other party had guns, no serious injuries or deaths were caused.
At the same time, the four men with guns were not seriously injured. It was the first time he had seensuch a situation after being a police officer for so many years.
Luke looked at Hansen and the others. After he made a statement, he found out about Hansen and theothers.
No one was seriously injured, and only two suffered minor injuries.
Whether they were injured or not, Luke had Jason and Mr. Zac dealt with it.
Although they were Ray's subordinates and must obey Ray's orders, they would not have gotten hurt ifhe had not called the police. As such, he decided to compensate them.
Hansen was also an easy-going guy. Since Luke's proposal benefited him and his men, he acceptedthe pacification.
After they left the police station, Hansen smiled and said to Luke, "Mr. Crawford, we'll head off now."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Luke nodded and watched Hansen and the others leave beforeletting Jason help him into the car.
After more than half an hour, they finally returned to the hotel.
Jason took him upstairs and stood at the door of the suite. He asked, "Boss, is Dr. Craw back?"
"She's already back. It's late. Get some rest and come earlier tomorrow." Luke glanced at Jason. Hedid not expect such a thing to happen today, but fortunately, it did not cause any delay to the signingthat was happening the next day.
"Okay, Boss." Jason helped Luke swipe the room key, and Luke controlled the wheelchair to enter thesuite.
After the door was closed, Luca heard a sound and walked out of the room immediately. "Mr. Crawford,you're back."
"Mm, why haven't you slept yet?" Luke asked. He did not mention anything about Luca leaving thehotel just now.
She must have gone to look for someone, but he was pending confirmation from Ray on who she met
"I just finished washing up. By the way, do you need me to help you wash up?" Luca asked. Jason didnot come into the suite this time.
"No, I'll take a shower tomorrow morning. It's late. Go and get some rest," Luke said. He did not touchon what had happened that day.
He believed that Luca knew the situation better than he did.
Luca parted her lips slightly. No matter how much she cared about him, she still did not say much.
"Okay, Mr. Crawford. You should rest early too."
She walked into the room, closed the door, leaned against the door, and let out a sigh.
‘I'm so glad he's fine...'
Luca sat on the bed disconsolately as she replayed what had happened. If she had not gone to thestronghold, she would not have overheard that the Island of Despair was going to assassinate Luke.
'If I had not notified them in time, what would've happened to Luke.' Luca did not even dare to thinkabout it.
She lay on the bed as she thought about why Abel would attempt an assassination out of the blue. Abelhad always been very patient because he wanted to torture Luke little by little.
She could not figure it out, but she did not dare to ask anyone.
The next day.
What happened at the restaurant the day before was making a lot of noise in the local news.
Luca got up early, glanced at the local news site, and saw that yesterday's incident had already madelocal headlines. The local police had not given many updates yet, so all kinds of gossip werespreading.
Luca lowered her gaze and thought that Abel should know by now. She did not know about his plans,nor if he would continue to mess with Luke.
Yesterday, it was just luck. She hoped that Luke would be more vigilant moving forward.
Luca opened the door after she washed up and saw Jason at the dining table with breakfast.
When he heard the door open, Jason turned around and said, "Dr. Craw, good morning. Let's havebreakfast."
Luca did not see Luke in the living room and asked, "Good morning. Where's Mr. Crawford?"
"Mr. Crawford is organizing documents inside," Jason replied.
Luca glanced at the next room. The door was open. After she took two steps forward, she could seeLuke in a wheelchair, putting some documents in his briefcase.
He felt someone looking at him and raised his head to meet Luca's gaze.
"Mr. Crawford, good morning." Luca hurriedly looked away. She took the initiative to greet him to avoidthe awkwardness.
"Good morning. Let's have breakfast," Luke said. He put the packed briefcase on the table and steeredthe wheelchair out of the room.
Luca took the initiative to walk behind him and pushed the wheelchair to the dining table.
She was thinking about how the cast on Luke's foot could be removed after they returned to A City.
After he laid down breakfast, Jason sat down and reported, "Boss, what happened at the restauranthas been spread. Some media outlets seem to know your identity. I don't know if it was disclosed bythe police station."
"It doesn't matter if it was. It'll be made known sooner or later anyway," Luke said indifferently as hetook a mouthful of oats.
Jason was worried that this matter would affect the signing, but seeing that Luke was so calm, he couldnot say anything as his subordinate.
After breakfast, Luca changed into a formal suit, put on a coat, and walked out of the room with abriefcase in her hand.
Luke had also tidied up. He glanced at Luca and said, "Let's go."
