Crich attaches great importance to the matter of the secret research institute and the Ishida family.
In fact, he was very curious about what project the research institute was working on that could bring the dying Shiro Ishichida back to life.
According to the information obtained by Krich, Ishichida Shiro was really going to die of old age, not because of illness.
If the research institute wants to save lives, it must increase the life of this dying old man.
How many people don't like longevity? Especially those who hold great power and wealth like Crich, they will not remain indifferent.
He felt that this was the reason why the United States attached so much importance to the secret research institute.
And Luke wasn't very interested in increasing his lifespan.
After all, he has the Kunlun Qi Refining Technique and Dragon Bones, which are safe and have no side effects. Life No. 1, which requires long-term research and verification, also has the effect of prolonging life.
But he was interested in the secret research institute, so of course he had to arrange a meeting between the two parties as soon as possible and get some intelligence for cleaning up the institute.
Thinking of this, he sent a message to Ivan using Beidou, which contained an address.
That was the safe house he had taken the time to set up in the past two days, and there was a mental remote control terminal inside.
Ivan can go "online" there.
In a luxurious suite at a hot spring hotel in Dingshanxi, Ivan moved his ears after hearing a crisp ding-dong sound, and woke up from his half-sleep.
Pushing away the warm bodies of the people hugging him on both sides, he got out of bed and took out his cell phone from his pocket.
When he arrived at the bathroom, he long-pressed the round control button on his phone, aimed his eyes at the screen, and completed fingerprint and iris verification.
The phone entered the hidden interface and a new message appeared on the screen.
He clicked it.
After watching for a while, the science and engineering master's superb mental arithmetic ability did not even require paper, pen or code book. He combined certain letters from the message in his mind and got an address.
Exhaling, he closed the hidden interface, walked out of the bathroom, and quickly put on his clothes.
Seeing the two women on the bed, he smacked his lips and couldn't help but think of what someone had said about "service fee."
So, he took 20,000 yuan from each of the Hermès and Chanel bags beside the bed, and smiled with satisfaction: "Finally, it's my turn to take the rich woman's money."
"Sugar, Yes, please. Won't you put it down on me..." Ivan hummed a song and walked out leisurely.
…
At night, Luke received a visitor from the research institute at an intersection in Shirokanedai, Meguro District, Tokyo.
The other party did not get out of the car, but just called to inform him that he could go to Ishichida's house.
Luke signaled his driver to drive, and marveled in his heart: the person in charge of this research institute is really a man of character, and he didn't give any face to the Japanese local boss Crich.
He was not Krich, he was not angry at all, but very happy instead.
Anyone who doesn't give face to Krich can't be a small fry, right
The higher the style, the higher the score, which is very likely.
Besides, the research institute has at least a thousand lives as a guarantee, and even if it is lower, it must be tens of thousands. Of course, Luke has to give face to this big fish.
Soon, two cars drove into a traditional neon courtyard in Shirokane Terrace.
Luke didn't have much artistic talent, but he knew that the care of this garden took a lot of effort, and the maintenance costs could make an ordinary wealthy person go bankrupt.
Moreover, in a high-end residential area like Baijintai, owning such a large courtyard is much more upscale than owning a building.
Getting off the car in the courtyard, Luke found that he, the fake minister, had been left behind again.
The car from the research institute didn't go with him at all, it went directly to the other side.
Luke raised his eyebrows: "This idiot, Crich, didn't he even know that the two sides had a deep exchange in private? He deserved to die at his own hands, he died of complete stupidity."
These two parties let Crich appear here. To put it nicely, he is a guarantor, but to put it bluntly, he is a "collateral."
The institute's meaning probably means: We are putting pressure on Minister Ke, and if there is any problem, you can deal with it.
Thinking of this scene, Luke wanted to laugh for some reason.
The two young maids in kimonos in front and behind stopped in confusion, looked at him who suddenly stopped, and looked up at the night sky: "Sir, please come this way."
The night sky of Tokyo is filled with neon lights, and the stars in the sky cannot be seen clearly.
Luke lowered his head, pushed up his yellow polarized glasses, and smiled: "Oh, okay."
Above the night sky, a stealth medium-sized drone was cruising slowly, controlling a large number of micro drones and monitoring every corner of the courtyard.
Two hundred meters away, on a five-story building, a transparent shadow was also observing this place and sent a message to Luke: There are too many people and they are scattered, so it is not easy to kill them all.
Luke kept smiling and sent a message back: Because this is not the target, please don't be so aggressive.
Ivan yawned and said nothing more.
He is just free.
The Bat Squad never attacks innocent people. There are many ordinary servants and staff here, and he definitely cannot kill them all.
It was the kimonos worn by the maids that he was a little disappointed with: "Why do they cover so much? Well, but there is nothing else in those two bathrobes today. These kimonos are similar in style. Let's find a pretty one to check them out later?"
Luke didn't know that Ivan was now a completely deviated man, and he was so bored that he was thinking about such things.
He was following two maids to a tea room.
The maid opened the door and motioned for him to take off his shoes and go in.
Luke looked at the interior layout and raised an eyebrow: "There are no chairs here?"
The maid was stunned and hesitated: "This, it seems not."
Luke said, "Oh, I sprained my ankle recently. Please bring me a cushion."
The two maids looked at each other, but still took out a cushion.
Luke took the cushion, put it on the edge of the corridor, and sat down outside the tea room.
The corridor is forty centimeters from the ground of the courtyard, which feels similar to sitting on a bench.
He nodded with satisfaction: "Well, you can serve tea now."
Maid: “… Please wait, sir.”
When one maid turned and left, the other stood a few meters away and said nothing more.
Luke wasn't trying to cause trouble on purpose; he simply wasn't used to sitting cross-legged or kneeling.
And taking off shoes was not a good option for him.
His shoes were a personally handmade nano armor set, how could he possibly give them to the other party
The idea that guests should follow the host's wishes is pure nonsense.
He was Minister Crich who was brought here as a decoration tonight, so it was normal for him to be a little dissatisfied.
The other party should be content to be able to sit here.
Soon, the tea was served.
This time, the other party was obviously aware that Minister Ke was in a bad mood, so they didn't use any neon tea ceremony to fool him. Instead, they served the black tea that Europeans and Americans are very accustomed to, and it also came with fresh milk and sugar.
From this point, it can be seen that the Ishida family was not unprepared.
If he follows their arrangements, the other party will not give him preferential treatment just because he is obedient.
Luke poured himself a cup of tea slowly and smiled in his heart: Japanese, have you finally remembered that I am your American dad
