Chapter 1376 The Experimental Data Was Destroyed
"How could she do that..." Amur said while clenching his fists. Even though he did not want Luca interacting with the children too
often, he could not help but be angry at what Bianca had done to Tommy.
That reminded him of what Abel did many years ago.
To quickly expand his influence, Abel attacked several nearby villages and abducted their inhabitants. Anyone who was not fit
enough to be a mercenary would become an experimental subject, and no one cared if they lived or died.
Abel was physically weak, and he nearly became one of those experimental subjects.
Fortunately, he was still very young, and the mercenaries in charge of training them thought he still had room to grow. That was
why he was spared of that fate.
After he met Luca, he trained hard so that he could become stronger.
Luca was angrier than he was, but she managed to control her fury. She analyzed the situation for Amur, "I'm guessing that the
impostor Bianca is now held captive in Luke's mansion, and Gale and Rain are watching over her. I'm quite sure that Luke
already knows."
Amur nodded in agreement. After all, Gale and Rain had not left the mansion for several days. They even had food delivered to
the mansion.
He was sure that they were acting on a mission, and seeing how things were going, the mission was probably to keep Bianca
detained.
"Abel will eventually find out about this, but I don't want him to know about it yet," Luca said. She knew that she would be in
danger if Luke found out about the Island of Despair.
However, she wanted to help him. As long as Abel did not find out that Luke had detained Bianca, Luke would be able to gather
more information for his advantage.
If Luke eventually discovered that Luca was from the Island of Despair, she would not reveal her true identity to him.
Nyla was still held hostage on the Island of Despair, and Luca did not want to risk her life just to save herself. 1
Luca became dejected when she thought of her youngest daughter.
Eler should be able to take good care of the little girl, but the conditions on the island were not conducive to the child's growth at
all.
"Are you sure this is what you want to do? None of us can tell how the situation will develop," Amur stared at her seriously. He
could tell that Luca wanted to help Luke.
She would be the one to suffer the consequences.
As much as they could try to delay the inevitable, Abel would eventually discover that Bianca had gone missing, and he would
eventually find out that Luke was behind it.
Abel would then move to the next phase of his plan, and
Luca would be his trump card.
"I am sure. This is the best we can do for now. Continue to stake out at the mansion but don't act rashly. At the same time, take
good care so that you're not discovered by Gale, Rain, or Abel's minions," Luca reminded him.
As long as Amur did not act against Abel's minions, Abel would not blame it on him.
After all, Amur had already completed Abel's mission for him, and his next mission was to protect Luca.
"Mm." Amur nodded and agreed. He would agree to whatever Luca requested of him.
Bianca might expose their identities, which might cause Luke to act against them, but Amur was ready to protect Luca. ’
Ever since Luca saved him, he had decided that he would use his life to protect Luca.
"I will do everything just as you say. I'll go and change my clothes, then I'll continue to keep an eye on the mansion," Amur said
and went into his bedroom.
Luca breathed a sigh of relief when she obtained Amur's assurance.
It was a selfish thing to ask Amur to do all that for her. She also did not expect that Amur would help her.
She said nothing as she watched Amur go into the bedroom and close the door. Then, she went back to her bedroom, changed
her clothes, and went to work.
She was slightly late when she reached her office. After clocking in, but before she could put on her lab coat, Rhett came over
hurriedly and said, "Bad news, Dr. Craw."
Luca turned around and looked at him. "What happened?"
Rhett took a deep breath and said, "When I went to the lab earlier, I noticed that things were in a mess. Some of our
experimental data has been destroyed."
When Luca heard that, she quickly put on her lab coat and went into the laboratory.
In the laboratory, the assistant researchers were already in their positions, but they were standing there instead of sitting down.
When they saw Luca come in, they greeted her, "Good morning, Dr. Craw."
Luca did not reply. She looked at the mess on the tables and guessed that someone must have deliberately done that.
"Check the security footage and see what happened," she said.
"Dr. Craw, the security camera in the lab broke down two days ago. The people from the logistics department said that they were
going to replace it today," one of the researchers said.
Luca looked at the security camera in disbelief.
The coincidence was incredible!
"How about the security camera in the corridor?" Luca asked. She had gone off work on time the day before, and there were
several other researchers at work when she left.
"I've already given a call to the security department," Rhett said. "They'll be sending me a copy of the security footage soon."
Luca nodded. Things would be much easier if she had the security footage, but she remained uneasy.
"Assess the situation. What else did we lose other than the experimental data?" Luca asked. The experiment was salvageable if
they lost only a small portion of the data.
However, if the losses were too great, they would have to start over.
Luke had already announced the date of the press conference, so they had a deadline to meet.
Luca could not keep calm when she thought about that. She took in several deep breaths while she watched the researchers tidy
up their workstations.
Rhett came over and said softly, "Dr. Craw, the cultures we prepared two days ago have been destroyed."
Luca went over to see the mess.
A few seconds later, one of the researchers said, "Dr. Craw, the security department called and said that there was a problem
with the security camera in the corridor. They're in the middle of fixing it, and they're trying to restore yesterday's footage."
"Noted," Luca said grimly. She would not be able to hide the incident from her superiors.
"Rhett, come with me to Dr. Kidman's office," Luca said as she turned around and left the laboratory.
Rhett followed behind her closely and said, "Dr. Craw, Dr. Kidman might not be in his office now..."
"We'll check there first," Luca said. She needed to escalate the incident to her higher-ups.
