The rest of the food could basically be described with Director Selina’s catchphrase — pig swill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this bad, yet the franchise hadn’t shut down. Were the people here pigs? Luke mocked inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the time. It was already seven in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The delay was due to the fact that Lois’s identity made it a little problematic for her to enter the forensics center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after talking to Luke, she would wait for the preliminary forensic results to come out before she came downstairs to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to keep an eye on Lois Lane and ensure her safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was a woman who was sleeping with Superman; who knew how many women would go crazy with jealousy if they found out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he had the time, Luke sent two androids to Smallville, Kansas, where Clark’s foster mother, Martha Kent, lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few hours of investigation, Luke had realized that Lex had something to do with the recent public opinion against Superman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t noticed before because there were too many people involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had confirmed that there was something wrong with Lex, looking for connections to Lex Corporation in previous information was altogether different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just like how most people didn’t know that Reporter Clark was Superman, but if they knew beforehand and investigated, it would be hard for him to hide his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he did this, Luke recalled the ‘mother and girlfriend’ memes in his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, if Martha and Lois fell into the river at the same time, who would Clark save?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer should be, “Both of them.” Only a kid would be tricked into choosing between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he had these ridiculous thoughts, Luke turned away more than a dozen teenage girls who had ‘accidentally slipped,’ ‘gotten lost,’ or ‘ran out of battery.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t act impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A protagonist wasn’t defined by their gender, but by their looks and money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Bale’s looks, it would be strange for him not to be good at this, and passing the time with the girls was quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mind talking to a woman with enough substance — it wasn’t like she would get pregnant from a chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, such women were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had only been two of them in the last few hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was a White House intern, Kate McKenney.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this young blonde didn’t talk about hair or makeup, but was all about some ‘interesting things’ in her workplace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was an old lady, Meryl Adams, who was almost 50 years old and of the old Adams family in American history.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meryl also wanted to offer Luke a job – whether or not it was out of some maternal instinct, Luke was too lazy to dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked about the reaction to the explosion in Congress today and exchanged contact details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elementary Pheromone Control was just that unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t like to use it to order women around, but he liked the effect when he let it disperse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his phone rang. He picked up the call and said a few words before he walked toward the entrance of the forensics center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had arranged to meet at the chicken diner, the food there was too lousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke felt that it was better to pick up Lois as soon as possible and switch to a coffee shop with less ‘pig swill.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Louis came down from the forensics lab and entered the underground parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she walked to her car, she reached into her bag for her keys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get into your car as quickly as possible – don’t ever rummage around for it in front of your car. This was a valuable experience from years of living in this city. Otherwise, someone would point a gun at your back one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t notice that a sturdy man had followed her from the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a worker in a yellow vest shone a flashlight at the wall up ahead, as if checking the pipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two people gradually sandwiched her in the middle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois glanced at the man in the yellow vest and felt that the man’s side profile looked familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a reporter, she couldn’t help but take two more steps to get a better look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the man in the yellow vest turned so that the back of his head was to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, Louise turned around and walked to her car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man behind her, however, picked up his pace and blocked her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart tightened. “Sorry, how can I help you?” As she asked the question, she gripped the pepper spray on her keychain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man said, “Miss Lane, I have some top secret information I want to talk to you about…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louise was stunned. “You’re Bruce?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was also stunned for a moment, but he immediately nodded. “Yes, can we go out and…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a big hand covered her mouth from behind, and the other hand wrapped tightly around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Louise’s cry was muffled, and she looked at ‘Bruce’ for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the man darted forward and helped the man in the yellow vest take her to a utility company van ten meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The side door of the van was already open, and a brawny man was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois instantly understood that this was a planned kidnapping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was stuffed into the van, a cold male voice rang out next to them. “What are you playing? It looks fun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the yellow vest reacted quickly. He took out a gun from his waist and pointed it at the door of the passenger seat, where the male voice had come from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pu! Pu! Pu! Zi! Zi! Zi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was the sound of nails hitting flesh three times in a row. The two people holding Lois and the brawny man in the car collapsed, their bodies still twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois had been thrown roughly into the car. She didn’t understand what was going on, but there was a collapsed man in front of her, twitching and foaming at the mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She subconsciously leaned back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be poison or some infectious disease! She had been to many places around the world, and had seen the small chances of this happening with her own eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois reacted quickly, but she used too much strength and fell out of the car. She panicked at the empty air behind her and immediately screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a hand grabbed her shoulder and softened her landing. “Sorry, Miss Lane, I was a little late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois turned around and saw Luke. “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke said, “Bruce Bale. I just spoke to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lois stepped back warily. Another ‘Bruce’ had thrown her into the van and she had almost been kidnapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke knew what she was thinking. “Miss Lane, these aren’t my men, but Lex Luthor’s men.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-06T03:36:52.094Z",1,"novelbin.me","3d4d4b32cf85f3f69d9874b7b88ad2661569e9d7e9ffb05ec2f8083f4fecf212","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-2068","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-2067",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
