Chapter 2637 Green With Envy

“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

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.

“Do you know about Mr. Whitlock being a corporate spy?” asked Rhett. There was no need to

conceal the 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 and

assistants 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.” Mo

Stone adjusted her spectacles. She thought only big pharmaceutical companies had some

espionage going on.

She did not expect a corporate spy to be sent here to steal classified information from a company

that was 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

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 the company’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 had come 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

personally 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.

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,” exclaimed 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 plan to do to those

people who have revealed confidential information?”

“He might take urgent measures, but they won't be held accountable 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 classified, the company’s rules did not mention that no sharing was allowed between

colleagues who worked in the same company.

“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 relationship 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 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

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 the company 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

sometimes 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

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 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 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 successfully developed the

drug.

"Alright. I should leave first,” said Mo Stone. The administrative department would help plan 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 glad 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 become 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 placed them in the test tube rack. Then, she

walked 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, 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. 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

would do 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,

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 you come to school now?" Tommy hesitated for a few seconds and asked.
