Chapter 448: Husband and wife turn against each other

Since both parties knew each other, Li Nan did not waste time, he said directly to Calvin: "Carter has a homicide case that needs to be investigated by your company, but her request has been repeatedly rejected by Isedam Energy, so she found me for help." ”

"There was a leak in the company's lab recently, which is why we turned away all visitors."

Calvin explained, then continued: "Since you have come forward, Mr. Lee, then Miss Carter should please investigate, but I have said first, she needs to sign a waiver to prove that there was any contamination in the company during the investigation, and we will not be held responsible." ”

This time the investigation can finally be officially launched, Carter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yes, I'll sign it." ”

After signing the disclaimer paperwork, the secretary took Carter to the company to investigate, and only Li Nan and Calvin were left in this luxurious office.

Although Li Nan's face is relatively low-faced, since he had an intimate relationship with Whitney, he still feels a little unnatural when he sees Calvin.

"Ahem, how is Whitney doing?" In order to break this embarrassing atmosphere, Li Nan asked without words.

This was originally just a normal question, but Calvin's face actually changed, and although he quickly adjusted his emotions, he was still looked at by Li Nan.

"Hehe, Whitney has been making movies at MGM lately, and we don't see each other much."

Calvin asked, "Are you in a hurry to find her?" ”

"Oh, nothing, I'm just asking." Li Nan explained: "She wanted to come to the war to make a movie a few days ago, and I wanted to ask her when she would come, so that I could prepare a script for her." ”

"Whitney has been in a bad mood lately, so I think I'd better get over a while."

After a few small talks between the two, Li Nan found that Calvin had been bringing the topic to the election of the senator, and once he touched on Whitney, he diverted the topic, and it seemed that something was wrong with his wife.

This torturous relationship finally ended after Carter came back, and Li Nan got up to say goodbye with relief: "Calvin, thank you for your hospitality, since Carter's business is done, then we will leave." ”

Walking out of the office building of Etherdam Energy, Li Nan turned his head and asked, "How is it, what has been investigated?" ”

Carter shook his head in disappointment: "There are no new clues, Isedan's laboratory is indeed out of the world, and many people are sorting out and repairing the damaged places." ”

After sending Carter to her temporary hotel, Li Nan, who had some questions about the Whitneys, immediately picked up the phone on the table when he returned to his company.

The people who know stars best in this world are not film companies or their agents, but pervasive journalists, and it just so happens that Li Nan is the controlling person of several newspapers.

Soon Li Nan got the specific news that a few days ago, there was a violent explosion at the Isedam Energy Company, but no police were called, and it is said that there was no loss of personnel.

Whitney hasn't been seen since that day, and she hasn't been to MGM at all.

Li Nan didn't know what the couple was hiding, anyway, it didn't matter to him, and after satisfying his curiosity, he left the matter behind.

A few days later, Li Nan received an urgent notice from the Hellfire Club.

When Li Nan walked into the secret core member meeting room, he found that most of the members were there, and strangely Calvin arrived, but his wife, Whitney, did not appear.

Li Nan had just sat down in his own white knight's chair, and the highest-ranking black bishop in the room, Hugh. Jones said, "It's almost time for the people to come, so let's get started." ”

"Won't you wait for Whitney?" Li Nan asked curiously.

Tom, the deputy director of the FBI, has had a good relationship with Li Nan recently, so he explained: "Don't wait, I need to discuss the issue of Whitney when I convened everyone in such a hurry today." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Stop. With a gloomy face, Jones answered Li Nan's question in the most concise way: "Something happened to the zero matter that Etherdam Energy is researching. ”

Tom angrily yelled at Calvin and said, "I've wiped your butts twice, but you still won't give up this damn zero matter!" ”

"I'm sorry." Calvin stood up, bowed to the crowd, and explained, "I also advised Whitney to give up studying Zero Matter, but she seemed to be obsessed with it, and she didn't listen to me at all. ”

Li Nan, who didn't know the specific situation, was confused, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Can anyone tell me how bad things are?" ”

Hugh glared at Calvin and said unhappily, "You come." ”

Calvin nodded humbly at Hugh, and then said to Li Nan: "Because of your relationship with the director of the Strategic Science Corps, Carter, I lied to you that day. Here's the thing, the other day there was an explosion in the laboratory where zero matter was studied, and that kind of thing from the unknown world entered Whitney's body. ”

"What?" Li Nan asked in surprise, "Then Whitney is dead?" ”

"Nope." Calvin said dejectedly, "It would have been an acceptable outcome for her to die because of this, but now she is not dead, but has fallen into a very fanatical and dangerous state." ”

"How dangerous is it?"

"Zero matter can absorb all the energy and matter of the nearby space, and when zero matter entered Whitney's body, she also possessed this property."

After listening to Calvin's explanation, Li Nan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

According to his understanding, Whitney is now a monster with a humanoid black hole, which can really be said to be extremely dangerous.

Once everyone knows what happened to Whitney, the next thing to talk about is how to eliminate this huge hidden danger.

Hearing the various methods discussed by others, Li Nan suddenly got up and said, "You guys study it, I can't help with this matter, so I'll leave first." ”

"Stop!" Stop. Jones shouted angrily, "You are also a member of Hellfire, and this matter also concerns you." ”

Li Nan stopped and said indifferently: "I had a one-night stand with Whitney after all, although this kind of thing has nothing to do with feelings, but I have my own principles, so I will never help you to kill her, I'm sorry." ”

Tom asked coldly, "Do you want to give up your status as a white knight?" ”

"Hahaha......" Li Nan looked at everyone and laughed loudly: "Then why not, I didn't join Hellfire at the beginning, haven't I been very moisturized?" ”

"Well said!" A voice came from behind Li Nan, that is, from the secret door.

Li Nan and the others looked back and found that a large hole had appeared in the two sturdy metal doors that had been disguised by bookshelves, and Whitney, who was wearing a long black dress and a black gauze hat on his head, was standing at the entrance of the hole.

Although it was obscured by the black veil hanging from his hat, everyone could still feel Whitney's cold gaze on Calvin's body.

Whitney took a few steps forward, took off her gauze hat and threw it on the conference table, her pretty white jade face was still bright on the right side, but the left side of her face was covered with black lines like thin snakes.

Whitney looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, and said coldly: "I trust you, I have made you, I have given you the company I created, and I have given you my own love, but you are not as good as Li Nan, and you dare to find someone to discuss killing me, this is really a great irony!" ”
