Chapter 2636
Dr. Linwood glanced at the time. It was already time.
However, the meeting had yet to start. Mr. Whitlock was nowhere to be seen either. “Oh, where's Mr.Whitlock?"
"Yes. We're having a meeting. Isn't Mr. Whitlock coming?" Dr. Jackson found it odd too. He happenedto see Mo Stone pushing the food trolley into the room to pour some coffee for everyone. He asked,"Ms. Stone, where's Mr. Whitlock?"
"Dr. Jackson, I'm not sure where Mr. Whitlock is." Mo Stone shook her head and served everyone acup of coffee.
"Wasn't it Mr. Whitlock who asked us to attend the meeting?" Dr. Jackson asked with curiosity.
"No. It was Mr. Crawford who informed me about the meeting. He didn't ask me to inform Mr. Whitlockto come for the meeting," replied Mo Stone. She was only following Luke's instructions and doing herjob.
"I see. That's weird." The big screen lit up as soon as Dr. Jackson finished his sentence.
"The meeting is about to start," said Mo Stone. She quickly handed the coffee to all the professors inthe meeting room and left with the food trolley.
Mo Stone was not informed to attend the meeting, and she did not receive any instructions to preparethe meeting agenda in advance. Only the professors were asked to attend the meeting, so she shouldnot be there.
The door was closed. Luke's face appeared on the big screen.
Luca's heart skipped a beat.
Even though they had just parted this morning, she could still feel her heart fluttering when she sawhim.
"Good morning, professors." Luke's voice slowly came from the speakers.
His deep, rich voice came into Luca's ears. She slightly clenched her fists. Her heart pounded fasteruncontrollably.novelbin
"Good morning, Mr. Crawford." The professors in the meeting expressed their respect to Luke andgreeted him.
"Today, I gathered everyone here to attend a short meeting. It's about Watson Biopharmaceuticals'general manager. Based on our investigation, we found out that Mr. Whitlock is a corporate spy sent byPierre Mallory. He has been fired by the company. Contact me in private if anyone here has revealedour company's classified research projects to him. This concerns every professor's research findings. Ihope everyone can take this seriously," Luke announced the matter expressionlessly.
Luca looked down. The corner of her lips slightly curled up.
Luke did listen to what she said. Otherwise, he would not have fired the general manager after Pierregot into trouble.
Dr. Jackson's expression turned serious without him noticing it. “Mr. Crawford, what are you going to doto Mr. Whitlock?”
“I've already sent him to the police station. I'm not going to look into the professors and researcherswho have already revealed any confidential information to him. But I don't want to see anything like thishappen again in the future,” answered Luke. He had already asked Jason to call the police.
The reason why he did not call the police himself was that he did not have to deal with such mattershimself.
Also, if Luke was the one who called the police, the police officers might misunderstand him.
There was dead silence in the meeting room.
Luca briefly knew what the situation was now. After all, Mr. Whitlock had the right to manage the fundsfor their research projects. That was why there were a few professors among them who were close toMr. Whitlock.
Even if the professors did not reveal the information, the researchers might have told him about it.
Luca realized that Pierre might have found out about all their research.
However, it was not too late yet. Pierre was running away from the police and the authorities. He wastoo busy to plot something evil.
Luke continued, “There's one more thing. Our company will be holding a team-building event thisFriday. It's a celebration party for Dr. Craw's successful drug launch."
Luca suddenly lifted her head when her name was mentioned.
A party?
Luca had no idea why Luke would do such a thing. She suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her scalpat the thought of being surrounded by everyone in the company.
“Sure. We got it," Dr. Jackson took the initiative to reply to him.
“That's all for today." Luke ended the video conference after that.
Luca was the first to rise to her feet.
Dr. Jackson called, “Dr. Craw."
“Yes, Dr. Jackson?" Luca turned around and looked at him.
Dr. Jackson asked, “Mr. Whitlock had asked you for some information back then. You didn't give it tohim, right?"
“No," replied Luca. “Previously, Mr. Whitlock even asked Mr. Link to give him the information. He didn'treveal anything to him either. I've reminded everyone in my team not to do so." “That's great." Dr.Jackson nodded. Mr. Whitlock had tried to take a hard line on Luca previously, forcing her to give himthe information.
Luca appeared to be reluctant to give him, but Dr. Jackson was worried that Luca had given it to him ona separate occasion.
He did not expect her to be so determined.
Did she know that there was something wrong with Mr. Whitlock from the very beginning?
Dr. Jackson turned to look at other professors. He was sitting in the team leader's position at themoment. Hence, there were things he needed to say. “Fellow professors, you all heard what Mr.Crawford said. Please get to the bottom of this. Remember to report to Mr. Crawford if you'veencountered anything that was mentioned."
"Yes. Dr. Jackson is right. Mr. Crawford said that he wouldn't look into it this time. Besides, no oneknew Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. It's understandable. Remember to explain Mr. Crawford,"added Dr. Linwood.
"Got it," replied the professors.
Luca's gaze swept across the expressions on their faces. There were different expressions on theirfaces.
It seemed like Mr. Whitlock had secretly bribed some of the professors. However, it had not been longsince Dr. Albus' case. Luca reckoned that the professors would not have disclosed all the confidentialinformation to Mr. Whitlock.
They might have revealed some of it, but it would not be too big of a problem.
After Luca left the meeting room, she returned to her office. She asked Rhett to inform all theresearchers to come into her office.
Her office was big, but it looked a little crowded when all the researchers, including Rhett, were in heroffice.
"Dr. Craw, everyone's here," said Rhett as he checked if everyone was present.
Luca looked up and went straight to the point, "I attended a short meeting just now, and I need to telleveryone about what I heard. First, Mr. Crawford has already confirmed that Mr. Whitlock was acorporate spy. Has anyone ever revealed our research data to him?"
"No," replied the researchers.
Luca added, "Mr. Crawford said that he wouldn't hold anyone accountable even if someone hasrevealed any information to Mr. Whitlock. After all, no one knew that Mr. Whitlock was a corporate spy,but you must be honest and tell us if you've ever given him any information."
"Dr. Craw, Mr. Whitlock has never personally talked to me," said one of the researchers.
"Same here," added the other researchers.
Rhett slowly spoke, "Mr. Whitlock talked to me before, but I reported to you about it. I didn't give himany information either."
"Alright. Good job." Luca nodded. She knew the researchers would not disobey her if she told them notto do something.
"Secondly, our company will be holding a team-building event this Friday. The venue isn't confirmedyet, but it's mainly to throw a celebration party for our research team. Be sure to watch out for thecompany's announcement when the time comes," added Luca.
There was excitement in everyone's eyes when they heard that there would be a team-building event.
Luca waved her hand and said, "I'll leave you to your work if there's nothing else."
