"Yes." Rhett and the researchers left the office together.
Rhett did not return to the laboratory. 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 butask with curiosity, "Mr. Link, what happened? Why did Dr. Craw and the other professors gather all theirresearchers 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 curiousabout it.
"Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?" asked Rhett. There was no need to concealthe matter. The company 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 andassistants to ask them whether or not they've ever revealed confidential information to Mr. Whitlock,"added Rhett.
"That's scary. The company has just started, and there was already a corporate spy among us." MoStone adjusted her spectacles. She thought only big pharmaceutical companies had some espionagegoing on.
She did not expect a corporate spy to be sent here to steal classified information from a company thatwas only established less than a year ago.
Still, the company's director was Luke Crawford.
It was an industry Luke had just gotten into. Even though it was still a small company, Luke was at thepeak of his career now. He made a huge profit no matter what he invested in. There was no doubt thatpeople 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 fromLuca.
After all, Mr. Whitlock was the company's leader. It was understandable that he was concerned withsuch matters.
Luca did not give him the information he requested at that time. Rhett could not understand why Lucawas reluctant to do so. After that, Rhett started to know something was off when Mr. Whitlock urgedLuca to hand in the data to him again and again.novelbin
Now that everything had come to light, Rhett thought it was fortunate that Luca had been careful at thattime.
“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 hadpersonally come 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. Thatwas why he was not afraid now. "Dr. Craw instructed us not to reveal the information to anyone. That'swhy we didn't hand in the document to him."
"Dr. Craw has some extraordinary sense," exclaimed Mo Stone. She would be in big trouble if she gavehim the information.
Mo Stone asked another question with curiosity, "What does Mr. Crawford plan to do to those peoplewho have revealed confidential information?"
"He might take urgent measures, but they won't be held accountable for this as they didn't know thatMr. Whitlock was a corporate spy. Mr. Crawford told us that he wouldn't punish us because of this, butnothing like this should ever happen again," answered Rhett. Even though the research data wasclassified, the company's rules did not mention that no sharing was allowed between colleagues whoworked in the same company.
"That's fine, then," muttered Mo Stone. Previously, Mr. Whitlock had told everyone that he had the rightto manage the research funds distributed to every research team, hinting to the professors that theyneeded to build a good relationship with him.
At that time, some of the professors were close to Mr. Whitlock. Luca was the only one who dared toreject Mr. Whitlock's request in front of the others.
Many thought that pissing Mr. Whitlock off would end badly for them.
Everyone in the company 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 afraidof Mr. Whitlock.
Who would have expected things to turn out this way?
No matter whether Luca had anyone supporting her or not, she saved the company a lot of troublewhen she rejected Mr. Whitlock's requests back then.
"You didn't disclose any information to him, right?" Rhett suddenly thought that Mo Stone wouldsometimes come 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 professorhas made sure that they kept their research documents well. They would even ask their assistants tophotocopy the documents themselves. They hardly asked for my help. I'm only responsible for doingodds and ends for them. I don't even have the chance to look at those documents." What Mo Stonesaid was true.
Now, when she was asked to photocopy some documents, the documents were mostly aboutadministrative information. She was not able to come 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 the company will be holding a celebration party. It's for your team," added MoStone.
“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 successfully developed the drug.
"Alright. I should leave first," said Mo Stone. The administrative department would help plan thecelebration party. She had to confirm the number of employees who would be attending the party andhand 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 MoStone was dealing with the trivial matters of the administrative department, he was glad that he choseto 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 lessdemanding, and she would not have high expectations of her assistant.
There was a high chance that an inexperienced assistant like him would become her researchassistant.
Now, it seemed like he had made the right choice.
In the office...
Luca took out the two antidote samples and carefully placed them in the test tube rack. Then, shewalked out of her office and headed to the laboratory.
"Dr. Craw." Rhett noticed that Luca was heading to the laboratory. He quickly kept pace with her.
"Yes." Luca headed straight. She stood in front of the laboratory entrance and swiped her access card.
"Are you continuing with the experiment?" Rhett noticed that Luca was holding a test tube rack, andthere 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 afiddly job.
"Sure. Thank you." Luca did not reject him. It could save her a lot of trouble if someone was willing tohelp her.
Rhett sat in front of the experiment table. He completed every step according 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 out later."
"Okay, no problem." Rhett nodded. Even though he had no idea what Luca was working on, he woulddo everything she instructed him to.
Luca walked out of the laboratory.
She returned to her office. When she was about to pick up some research papers and read them, herphone suddenly rang.
Luca picked up her phone and saw an unknown number from the same city calling her. It was alandline 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 you come to school now?" Tommy hesitated for a few seconds and asked.
