Chapter 9: 'Investigation' of the Gotham Knight of Light
"Another busy night?" Lucius returned to the conference room after taking care of the meeting, which had just ended with a cooperation meeting between Wayne Group and Huaxia's Liu's Securities Investment.
However, in the middle of the meeting, Bruce still couldn't help but fall asleep, after all, he only slept for two hours thanks to Yingao, and because of Gordon's opinion, he also spent two hours checking the new prosecutor.
"This joint venture project was your idea, and the consultants loved it. But I'm not in favor of this project. Liu's company is growing by 8 percent a year, as accurate as a clock, and he must have some source of income that isn't on the books. And perhaps illegally. Lucius walked up to Bruce and expressed his concerns.
"Alright, the project is cancelled." Bruce said dryly.
"You already knew?" Lucius looked at Bruce's calm reaction and knew that Bruce had known for a long time.
"I'm just looking for an excuse to check their ledgers."
"Is there anything else you want me to do for you?" Lucius was relieved to see that Bruce had a plan.
"I need new clothes, and a friend gave me something I want you to remake out of it." Bruce's friend was, of course, Jocelyn.
"Huh? What is it? Lucius asked curiously.
"I put it in the warehouse, and I also have the corresponding instructions." Bruce patted Lucius and left.
……
Harvey Dent, the new prosecutor in Gordon's mouth, is known as the Knight of Light in Gotham. Harvey Dent is sitting in a fancy dining room with her colleague/Bruce's childhood plum: Rachel.
Although the prosecution still failed, the prosecutor was quite happy that Maloney's men tried to shoot him during the trial, not because he had any special habits, but because Maloney tried to kill him, which meant that he was one step closer to bringing down the gang family, so that Maloney felt threatened.
Although Gordon was in a good mood to follow, he was still very happy to have lunch with Rachel, especially in this fancy restaurant.
"It took me three weeks to book a spot. And I have to tell them I'm in the government. After taking his seat, Harvey looked at Rachel with a look of disbelief and explained.
"Really?" Rachel was speechless, and was also surprised that Harvey had worked so hard to book.
"The city health inspector is not afraid to open the back door for me."
"Rachel, I didn't expect that." As soon as Harvey finished speaking, Bruce's voice came.
"yes, Bruce, I didn't expect that." Rachel's expression after seeing Bruce made Harvey feel slightly uneasy, I don't know if it was his delusion, it seems that Rachel is more happy with Bruce's arrival.
"Rachel, Natasha. Natasha, Rachel," Bruce volunteered to introduce Rachel.
"Natasha, are you from that Moscow?" Rachel asked Natasha as she remembered something.
"The mysterious dancer of the Moscow Ballet." Bruce finished speaking for Rachel.
"Wow, Harvey plans to take me next week." Rachel was a little surprised, although this mysterious dancer is famous, he rarely performs, and this appearance is very precious, so Harvey specially bought a ticket for Rachel to see.
"Really? So you like ballet? Bruce looked at Harvey and asked, the person in front of him was likely to be his 'successor', so Bruce looked at him very carefully.
With a well-fitting suit, meticulously combed blonde hair, and a handsome look on par with herself, it's no wonder that Rachel can't help but be a little embarrassed, ahem, no, I want to be crooked. ’
"Bruce, this is Harvey Dent." Rachel pulls Bruce back from his thoughts, and then Bruce reaches out and shakes Harvey's hands.
"Famous Bruce Wayne, Rachel told me everything about you." Harvey behaved gentlemanly and with a hint of hostility.
"I hope not." Bruce said with a smile and looked at Rachel, who responded with a smile.
"Then let's share a table." Bruce suggested that the reason he was actually here was not to eat with Natasha, but to 'investigate' Harvey on the spot, and it would be very easy to find out where Harvey was eating the late silkworms with his abilities, especially since Harvey was with Rachel, and the assassins sent by Ying Ao were closely protecting Rachel.
And this Natasha is the undercover agent who has just been sent to Bruce by Nick: Agent Natasha.
Obviously, S.H.I.E.L.D. once again hit Bruce with the idea, and Bruce was quite helpless about it, but fortunately, with Natasha's help, he could easily cope with a lot of entertainment, anyway, the 'labor' given away for nothing didn't have to be in vain.
And Natasha didn't meet Rachel last time, so Rachel didn't know Natasha.
"I don't think they'll say yes." Harvey was naturally a little dissatisfied when he heard this, so he tried to force Bruce away with the rules of the restaurant.
"Oh, they'll say yes, this hotel is mine." Bruce uttered something that made Harvey helpless, and then beckoned the waiter to add two more seats.
Since Bruce decided to 'investigate' Harvey, he was completely prepared.
In the midst of this, Natasha begins her investigation of Dante according to the script that Bruce had asked her to make.
And Harvey's performance made Bruce very, very satisfied, and at this moment Bruce felt as if he could take off that clothes.
However, to Bruce's displeasure, Rachel seems to be a little attracted to Harvey, but it doesn't matter.
Just as Bruce says he's going to throw a fundraiser for Harvey, Bruce's emergency phone goes off.
"I'm sorry." Bruce glanced at his 'mobile phone' and saw that it showed that the contact party was Ying Ao.
"Bruce, the net collection operation was frustrated, that Maloney had an informant in Harvey's office, Gordon their operation failed, most of the black money was transferred, I'm sorry I was busy catching the clown and didn't notice it." Ying Ao said with regret that because Bruce didn't ask Ying Ao to help, Ying Ao didn't pay attention to the gang's actions, he was just monitoring this group of gang bosses.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Chinese man who participated in the meeting through real-time network video: Liu, told the clown's robbery, but to Ying Ao's surprise, this group of gangsters did not care about the clown who slapped them in the face, but the police found the bank they used to deposit black money.
And under the leak of Maloney's informant, Liu has transferred all the black money.
"Damn." Bruce couldn't help but explode when he heard the news.
"Bruce?" Rachel looked at Bruce worriedly, she knew Bruce very well. The things that can make Bruce lose his temper are obviously not trivial.
Harvey and Natasha looked at Bruce in amazement, the former because Bruce was so foul-mouthed, and the latter wondered who was calling Bruce, and she couldn't even eavesdrop on it.
"Huh? Rachel too? Are you ...... Dine? Okay, I'm not going to be a light bulb, how did this guy come here? Bruce, I hung up first. Ying Ao was surprised to find out from the wristband that Bruce was having dinner with Rachel: lunchtime + both assassins were near Bruce, so Rachel must be there too.
And at that moment, the clown, dressed in fancy dress, smiled and walked into the kitchen that was temporarily used as a conference room.
"It's okay, let's continue." Bruce calmed down, knowing that it was too late to do anything, and could only wait for the evening to see how to remedy it.
"Then let's move on." Natasha gave Bruce an inquiring look very secretly, but Bruce didn't see it.
