BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1758 - Someone Is Taking Action?
Chapter 1758: Someone Is Taking Action?
It was October, and nothing happened after Haley came to San Francisco for a week.
After sealing the deal with Dr. Pym, Luke sent two drug lords off with food poisoning and a drug overdose respectively.
Secondly, in a four-way gang war, he happily helped out by killing a few bright red names.
In the spirit of not leaving his name behind after doing a good deed, the San Francisco gangsters didn’t notice anything unusual. They just felt that the recent battle had been a little too intense.
In previous battles for territory, only a few people would be injured in three to five rounds, and one or two would die if they were unlucky.’Search NewNovel* on google’
Also, those who died were usually the small fry who led the charge, while the ones who had died in the last few days were famous ruthless characters.
But thinking about how there were no longer any famous bigshots in New York, and how more than three gang lords had been replaced in Los Angeles, San Francisco’s environment was already pretty “stable.”
Just when Luke thought that he needed to come up with a new way to deal with the San Francisco gangs, there suddenly was movement on Haley’s side.
At that moment, Luke was watching two masked “welfare workers.”
He had some impression of them.
They had been checking a lot of tramps around Haley recently, and it was very common for them to hand out some toiletries, clothes, and food.
There were all sorts of “welfare workers.” Sometimes, it was the government who forked out the money, sometimes it was a charity fund, sometimes it was pure charity, and sometimes, it was the pharmaceutical company.
They treated Haley the same as the other tramps, and there was nothing wrong with the questions they asked, so Luke naturally couldn’t be bothered to investigate them.
......
Besides, he needed Haley to lure Simon out.
Ordinary investigations would be useless in the face of Simon’s abilities.
Now, the two “welfare workers” were following an ambulance to Haley’s shack in the middle of the night.
In the end, one of the two “welfare workers” screamed and drew back. He covered his eyes and rolled around after being taken down by Haley’s pepper spray.
The face of the other “welfare worker” changed, and he charged in with a taser.
Soon, the “welfare worker” who had charged in collapsed, creating a huge hole in Haley’s shack.
Oly after he stopped twitching for a moment after being tasered did he say to his two companions who had just gotten out of the ambulance, “I, I tasered her…”
His two companions immediately understood and entered the broken shack to drag out a twitching Haley.
Some people were already craning their necks to see what was going on.
The two people who had grabbed Haley were wearing white masks and white coats. One of them said loudly, “She might be infected with rabies and needs treatment.”
He spoke very loudly, clearly wanting to give the onlookers a decent explanation.
Then, they put Haley and their two companions into the ambulance.
The ambulance sped off.
Although the people around them felt that something wasn’t right, the vehicle had already driven off and disappeared.
There were too few hot-blooded people here who cared about somebody else’s business. They returned to their shacks.
Watching the feed, Luke knew that the ambulance was fake.
An ambulance with the same license plate had just picked up a patient and sent them to the San Francisco General Hospital.
Thinking quickly, Luke changed into his combat suit and followed the ambulance.
Whether or not these were Simon’s people, their goal wasn’t to kill Haley.
As long as they didn’t kill Haley instantly, Luke could get her back. At most, he just needed to use Life 1 and spend the credit points required for Light of Life.
20 minutes later, Luke watched the ambulance drive into a 12-story building on the outskirts.
While he checked the surveillance system, he investigated the building.
To his surprise, it belonged to the Life Foundation.
Luke remembered hearing this name recently. He looked up the news and saw that the meteor shower had destroyed one of the Life Foundation’s deep-space probes.
He was stunned. “Nothing to do with medicine?”
After all, the name “Life Foundation” sounded like it was something related to biotech.
It wasn’t like Simon or his father’s pharmaceutical company couldn’t secretly study biotech.
But after searching for a moment, Luke discovered that the Life Foundation had nothing to do with Simon.
The CEO of the foundation, Carlton Drake, had a clean record, and nothing like Raman’s colorful history.
However, Simon had a strange ability, and might be able to control this person as a puppet to do things.
Inside the building, Carlton said impatiently to a woman in a white coat, “Dr. Dora, in this world, no success comes without a few bumps. We’re working hard for the development of mankind. Everything we do now is just the price we have to pay. Go back and think about it.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Dr. Dora, who was wearing a white coat, looked worried. After making up her mind, she quickly turned around and left.
Carlton was about to go downstairs, when he ran into two security guards, who reported, “Sir, we’ve found a new ‘volunteer,’ but someone might have seen us detain the woman.”
Carlton didn’t look happy, but he didn’t flare up.
It was the security guards who did the dirty work, so there was a far higher chance of something going wrong.
He simply asked, “Were your identities exposed?”
The security guards quickly shook their heads. “We covered our faces and pretended to be with the hospital.”
Carlton nodded. “Go check it out. If there’s a problem, deal with it.”
The security guards nodded and quickly left.
Carlton thought for a moment and made a call. “The female ‘volunteer’ who came in tonight will be next in line.”
After making the arrangements, he left the building.
Luke released a few drones and snuck inside. He watched as Haley was sent off for a checkup while unconscious.
However, these people didn’t even change her clothes. They simply took her for a regular blood test and an MRI, before they sent her to an isolation room.
Two walls of the room were normal, while two adjourning ones were tempered glass.
Apart from a ventilation duct, there were no other openings in the room.
As soon as he saw the room, Luke knew that this was for observation.
Apart from the guards on patrol, the people who had performed the examination on Haley also left after sending her here.
There were three tramps in a similar row of rooms next to Haley.
Clearly, she was safe for now.
Luke frowned. Did he have to wait again?
Looking at the scattered factories and warehouses in the remote surroundings, he was relieved. It was good if there was no one around here.
Thinking that, he found an empty room in a building 200 meters away and went inside
