Chapter 1304 It Was Part of a Plan
Luke went over to the couch and gently tapped Luca's face." Wake up."
Luca gave no reaction, as though she did not know that her life was in danger.
If he had not discovered the live stream in time, or if he had chosen to ignore it, she would definitely have been violated.
The manager could discern which floor the room was. If the manager or one of the waiters had seen the live stream, Luca would not have been so lucky.
Luca's face was flushed, but her body temperature was normal. He looked at her for a while before he reached out, buttoned her shirt, and picked her up in a bridal carry.
Luca was not heavy, so it did not take Luke much effort to carry her out of the room.
Tommy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father come out with Luca. "Daddy, is Ms. Luca okay?"
"She's okay. She's just drunk," Luke said.
Tommy nodded, though he remained worried.
Luke carried Luca toward the elevator. Jason remembered that the three other people were still knocked out downstairs, so he asked, "Mr. Crawford, what about Dr.
Albus and the others?"
"We'll talk after they wake up," Luke said.
He had many suspicions, the biggest of which was the fact that his cursor clicked on the link to the stream by itself.
It was as though someone deliberately wanted him to know what happened to Luca.
If someone had planned this, including hacking into his computer, what was their motive?
Did that person plan to make Dr. Albus and the others drunk too?
Did the mastermind plan Abel's sudden appearance, or could it be that Abel was one of the masterminds?
Luke remembered that Luca was also drugged during the party back in A City. Abel was absent during that event because he had to attend to another emergency, but the only common factor behind both incidents was Abel.
When the elevator arrived, Luke walked inside while ordering Jason, "Get the technicians to strengthen the company's network security, especially my computer."
Jason nodded.
He had been wondering why Luke would be watching a stream while at work, and it was specifically Luca's stream. Now that he knew that someone had hacked into the company network, he took out his phone, gave a call to the IT department manager, and told them to get to the bottom of it.
Downstairs, Luke got into the car and returned to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Luke did not bring Luca back to her room. Instead, he carried her to his suite.
Tommy followed behind him quietly. It was only after Luke gently placed Luca on the bed that he asked his father softly, "Daddy, did Ms. Luca pass out because she was drunk?"
"Mm." Luke nodded as he placed the back of his hand on Luca's forehead. The temperature remained normal.
Tommy continued, "If she's drunk, why would she be so calm?"
Tommy had seen his uncle Louis being drunk before. Louis usually caused a commotion when he was drunk.
He had also seen his father drunk. Even though Luke was a lot more composed than Louis, he was nevertheless restless.
To him, Luca was not drunk. Instead, she had probably fainted.
Luke tucked Luca in and said, "Don't worry. She'll be fine."
The entire incident was deliberately planned, but the mastermind did not intend to harm Luca. Otherwise, they would not inform Luke or leave only ambiguous hints in the stream.
If the mastermind truly wanted Luca to be violated, they could have announced her exact location.
That was why Luke guessed that Luca would eventually wake up, and the drug would not have any long-lasting effects.
Luke could see the worry in his son's eyes. He patted his head and said, "Are you hungry? If you are, I'll order room service."
Tommy nodded. He did not have the appetite to eat, but he was nonetheless hungry. "Ms. Luca said that she would cook dinner for us if she's free."
Luke had picked up the phone receiver when he heard that. He paused for two seconds, took a deep breath, and ordered two steaks through the phone.
The steaks were soon brought to the room, and Tommy ate one. After that, he walked over to Luke's room. Luca was still passed out on the bed, and Luke was sitting next to the bed and looking at her.
"You should eat too, Daddy. The steak won't be delicious when it's cold," Tommy said.
Luke felt Luca's forehead again, and the temperature remained normal, though her face was still as red as ever. She continued to sleep and gave no response.
Tommy thought that Luke did not hear him. He repeated," Daddy..."
"Mm." Luke stood up so that Tommy did not have to worry about him. He went to the table and ate the steak that was quite tasteless, given his current mood.
After dinner, Tommy returned to the bedroom and lay down next to Luca, waiting for her to wake up.
Luke did not say anything when he saw that. He sat on the couch and started a teleconference with the staff of the IT department.
The technicians found that all the computers in the company were infected by a virus, and there was a risk that company secrets might be leaked.
They were still investigating the source of the virus and how it infected the computers.
Luke listened to the report with a sullen expression on his face. He said, "After you remove the virus, I want a report on the origin of the virus and how you would strengthen the defenses of the company network, and I want it by tomorrow."
The manager immediately passed on Luke's orders to the rest of the department.
Luke's expression remained sullen after the teleconference ended.Text content © .
He had paid a lot of money to recruit the best talent for the IT department, and he did not expect that the proprietary firewall of the company network was so easily breached.
If Luke's computer were not hacked today, the staff in the IT department would remain oblivious to the fact that all the computers were infected by a virus.
It seemed that the subsidiary company in New York was too far away from A City, and that made the staff lazy...
Luke turned off his laptop. He glanced at the time and saw that it was already eleven o'clock.
Tommy was still in the bedroom watching over Luca. It meant that Luca had not woken up.
Luke went into the bedroom and saw Tommy resting his head on his hands and looking at the woman on the bed." It's eleven o'clock, Tommy," He softly reminded the child.
Tommy was already feeling sleepy, but he did not want to sleep when he could not confirm that Luca was safe. ’ Daddy, why is Ms. Luca still sleeping?" He asked.
"She probably drank a lot," Luke said, though he knew that her unconsciousness was not because of alcohol.
He did not smell any alcohol in her breath.
Tommy pouted when he heard that. "Daddy, should we get Uncle Johann to check on her?"
