A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Lu Ke was slightly taken aback and looked at Dr. Zhao Hailun, whom he was meeting for the first time today: "Dr. Zhao, do you know me?"

Dr. Helen Zhao dodged Jack's key once again, staring intently at Luke: "I met Director Dan two years ago, before I returned to China, at Ronald Reagan Medical Center."

Ronald Reagan Medical Center?

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

This place was not unfamiliar to him; after all, he had been saved from death twice at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center.

Lu Ke's mind raced, and he smiled, "Really? That's great, then we're old acquaintances."

Zhao Hailun looked down at the handcuffs on her hands.

"If this is how Director Dan treats acquaintances, then I dare not become Director Dan's acquaintance."

"My fault."

Lu Ke realized his mistake and looked at Jack: "Why aren't you unlocking Dr. Zhao's handcuffs yet?"

Jack grabbed the keys again and handed them to Dr. Helen Zhao.

Zhao Hailun dodged again.

"No need. I'm more interested in knowing what reason Chief Dan used to arrest..."

"Kacha!"

The words have not yet fallen.

Seeing that Zhao Hailun had repeatedly dodged his key, Jack simply threw the key away, grabbed the handcuffs by the joint with his large hand, and crushed them with his bare hands with a snap.

Zhao Hailun stared in disbelief at the handcuffs that had turned into two bracelets.

Natasha, who was not far away, looked at Jack with a strange expression as she watched this scene.

Lu Ke chuckled, his expression unchanged, and said to Dr. Zhao Hailun, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't explain things properly to my subordinates."

Zhao Hailun looked up again at Lu Ke, whose face seemed to say, "I've already apologized, what more do you want from me?" and frowned.

“Dr. Zhao, the purpose of inviting you here is very simple.” Lu Ke then changed the subject and went straight to the point: “Lucy has gone missing, and the reason I invited you here is because…”

Upon hearing this, Dr. Zhao Hailun snapped out of her daze, her eyes widening in surprise.

"What? Who's missing?"

"Lucy."

“Lucy Chen?” Dr. Helen Zhao frowned, seemingly incredulous. “When did she disappear? How could she have disappeared?”

Looking at Dr. Helen Zhao's reaction, Lu Ke remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but look at Natasha: "Didn't you mention this to Dr. Helen Zhao?"

Why did he feel that Helen Zhao also only found out about Lucy's disappearance today?

Natasha opened her mouth, and under Luke's gaze, explained, "Our people went yesterday, but I didn't even see Dr. Zhao Helen. We don't have permission, and we can't just force our way in..."

Luke froze on the spot, looking at Natasha with a strange expression.

"Back in the Federation, you were all out for business, but now you're playing the law-abiding card in this tiny, godforsaken country? Natasha, there's something wrong with your behavior."

"It was my fault, I didn't explain myself clearly."

Natasha took all the blame upon herself, thus silencing Luke's potential new round of criticisms of their department.

Luke had no interest in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s modus operandi at the moment, and looked at Helen Zhao again: "In short, Dr. Zhao, now you can understand why I asked you to come here, right?"

Zhao Hailun looked somewhat dazed, as if she was still processing the news. She turned and sat down on the sofa, saying, "I need a drink to calm down."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke looked directly at Jack and said, "Pour Dr. Zhao a glass of whiskey."

Jack nodded.

Zhao Hailun quickly corrected, "I want bourbon. Only sissies drink whiskey."

Luke raised an eyebrow, looked at the gaze Jack was giving him, and nodded again.

after awhile.

Jack poured a glass of bourbon and handed it to Helen Zhao.

After taking the glass, Zhao Hailun drank it all in one gulp, then handed the empty glass to Jack: "Thanks, another one."

Jack turned around expressionlessly, grabbed the empty glass again, and walked towards the villa's bar, preparing to pour Zhao Hailun another glass.

Lu Ke leaned back on the sofa with great interest, admiring Zhao Hailun, who, though a woman, possessed a free and unrestrained charm, sitting on the opposite sofa.

Zhao Hailun composed herself, wiped her lips with her right hand, which was adorned with a handcuff-like bracelet, and then looked up at Lu Ke.

When did Lucy go missing?

"According to intelligence, they disappeared on the night after meeting you."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hailun looked at Lu Ke with some shock.

Luke asked expressionlessly, "So, Dr. Zhao, can you tell me what you talked about when Lucy met with you that day?"

Natasha and Xia Ling, who were sitting to the side, both turned their attention to Zhao Hailun.

At this moment, Jack poured another glass of bourbon and handed it to Helen Zhao.

After taking the bottle, Zhao Hailun thanked Jack again, then took a big gulp of bourbon, pursed her lips, and, meeting Luke's gaze, said, "That day, Lucy took a few drops of blood and asked me to help her do a test."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

"What kind of test?"

"She wanted to know if this substance could solve her daughter Mengmeng's problem."

"more specific."

Lu Ke lowered his right foot, bent down, crossed his arms, and looked at Zhao Hailun opposite him: "What exactly is wrong with Mengmeng?"

He still doesn't have any test results for his daughter.

Almost all the information we have comes from Old Chen.

Old Chen only said that Mengmeng was born prematurely and lacked some growth hormone, but he didn't say anything specific.

and also……

Lu Ke looked at Zhao Hailun: "I'm also a little curious about your relationship with Lucy. Did you know Lucy before?"

Zhao Hailun composed herself, looked at Lu Ke, and explained, "I guess so. I met Lucy when you were hospitalized. I was your attending physician at the time."

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow: "My attending physician isn't..."

Zhao Hailun shook her head: "You were unconscious at the time. By the time you woke up, I had already completed the resignation process and returned to Seoul. That's when I met Lucy. After that, Lucy also returned to Seoul, and we gradually became friends."

Lu Ke: "..."

Chapter 361 Two Disappearances, Two Groups of People

Lu Ke was knocked unconscious for a month after being hit by Chen Huaxing's car bomb.

It was during his coma that Zhao Hailun, who was in the hospital at the time, became his attending physician and met Lucy, who was still with him at the time.

At that time, Zhao Hailun had actually submitted her resignation a month in advance.

As for why she became Luke's doctor, the reason is quite simple.

Luke's situation at the time was not very optimistic.

and so……

Since you're leaving anyway, it's not unreasonable for you to take the blame for the hospital that trained you before you go.

That's what the hospital thought at the time.

If Luke hadn't survived the critical period and had died, the FBI would have been furious and could have used Helen Zhao as a scapegoat.

However, Lu Ke was lucky to survive.

When Lu Ke woke up, Zhao Hailun had already completed her resignation procedures, returned to Seoul, and founded her own "Regeneration Cradle" laboratory.

However, it is also difficult for an individual laboratory to survive without funding.

Nowadays, most private independent laboratories are backed by financial backers.

In Seoul, the ones with the most funds and the most spare money to sponsor laboratories are none other than the chaebols.

The mission of her "Regeneration Cradle" perfectly suited the tastes of those tycoons.

Based on our own tissues and cells, and by integrating gene technology, nanotechnology, and intelligent technology, we can repair wounds, regenerate tissues and organs, and even recreate the human body.

So when the lab faced a funding shortfall, Zhao Hailun decided to give it a try and see if she could secure sponsorship from tycoons.

Zhao Hailun's plan included the Zheng family consortium in Hedong.

And so, Helen Zhao and Lucy were reunited.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke said "Wait a minute," then frowned and looked at Zhao Hailun: "You're saying that your lab is sponsored by Zheng Hedong?"

Zhao Hailun nodded.

"Is such that."

"That's weird."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ke asked with some curiosity, "If that's the case, why is Mengmeng receiving treatment at that Dr. Bai's hospital instead of here with you?"

Zhao Hailun smiled: "Director Dan trusts me that much?"

Lu Ke shrugged, said nothing, and looked at Zhao Hailun.

Zhao Hailun lowered her head again and smiled, "But not everyone trusts me as much as Director Dan does."

Luke understood: "Zheng Xiuhui, Lucy's mother?"

Zhao Hailun nodded and didn't hide anything, saying directly, "Actually, the reason why the Zheng Group invested in me was not because they were optimistic about my project, but because Lucy was also there at the time. So, Lucy's mother, Ms. Zheng Xiuhui, decided to invest in me."

Lu Ke nodded thoughtfully.

He wasn't familiar with his mother-in-law; they had only had a brief encounter when he got off the plane.

but……
