Chapter 1736 Sending A Sheep Into A Tiger's Mouth
Listening to Luca's analysis, Percy frowned even more.
Whenever Jean faced him, he was always submissive. It was the same when he saw him that day.
If they did not employ special means, it was difficult to find out more.
However, Jean was Nina's brother. He did not want to use those special methods to extract a confession from
Jean if it was not necessary. If he did so, it might alert Pierre.
"Jean acted normal. There was nothing out of the usual," Percy said.
Luca shook her head and replied, "You can't get information from him through normal means. Why don't I give
it a try?"
She was in a hurry to find Nina, so she offered to help.
She had an organization behind her, but to be on the safe side, she could not make use of those resources.
As such, she could only help through these means.
"No." Luke objected without a second thought. He knew that Jean had bad intentions toward Luca.
If she took the initiative to approach Jean to investigate this matter, she would be sending herself into the
tiger's mouth.
Although Jean was a coward and Luke was confident that he could protect Luca, Luke was unhappy when he
thought of how she may be taken advantage of by such a man.
After what had happened, she still had not learned her lesson. She had been in danger several times because
of Jean, yet she still dared to...
Luca was surprised to hear Luke's objection.
She did not understand why he would object.
"Mr. Crawford?" Luca called out to him. There were doubts in her eyes.
Luke realized that his reaction was a little big. He unconsciously changed his posture and explained, "Jean is
not a good person. It's too dangerous for you to approach him."
"I can protect myself. The most important thing right now is rescuing Nina. Mr. Crawford, don't worry. I'll do
what I can and not push it." Luca listened to his worries, her heart was touched and at a loss.
'Under what circumstances would a person like Luke, who isn't emotional, express his concern so strongly?'
She did not dare to think further.
Seeing that she insisted and considering that this matter had nothing much to do with him, he knew he could
not stop her. Hence, he reminded her. "Jean is interested in you. Luca, if you insist on getting close to him to
investigate this matter, it'll be just like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth."
"I've thought about this. I believe in my ability. Jean won't get what he wants so easily. At the same time, since
Jean is interested in me, I can get more out of him if I go, no?" Luca said. If she approached him, maybe she
could tear down Jean's walls and find out about Nina's whereabouts.
"Jean doesn't necessarily know where Nina is." Luke reminded her. He thought that it was too big of a risk.
If Jean was not fooled by her and told Pierre about it, he was worried that Pierre would work with Jean to deal
with Luca.
"We have to do something, no?" Luca had already made the decision. No matter what Luke said, she would
not change her mind.
Seeing this, Luke went silent.
Percy knew what Luca meant to Luke. Even if he thought Luca's proposal was feasible, he still left the
decision in Luke's hands.
It was very difficult for him and Nina, but it was even more difficult for Luke and Bianca. They knew each
other's identities and had to continue to hide and pretend not to know. Nevertheless, they loved each other
deeply.
Luca looked at the two men who did not speak and came to a decision. "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Mallory, I've
decided to approach Jean. I once heard Nina mention that after Jean was released from prison, he would go
to a bar to drink every night. I'd like to ask you to help find out which bar Jean will be in."
She planned to have a chance encounter with Jean. Since it was a chance encounter, she had to act a little
so that the other party would not notice.
That way, she could find out more from Jean.
Percy glanced at his friend, whose expression was as cold as ice. Nevertheless, Luke did not continue to
object.
He said, "I'll find someone to find out which bar it is and tell you. There'll be people around to protect you. If
something goes awry, they'll step in to help you."
"Thank you." Luca wanted to tell him that she did not need protection since she would just be facing Jean.
She was on the losing end last time because she was not as strong as him.
However, things were different now. She could easily knock down two Jeans as long as she paid more
attention during the mission.
Percy nodded. Seeing that Luke still did not say anything, the plan was set.
He turned around, walked out of the office, and instructed his subordinates on the next steps.
Luke and Luca were the only ones left in the office.
She looked up at the man's expression. He looked serious as if he was still dissatisfied with the decision she
made.
She was Luca, not Bianca. She took a deep breath and assured him, saying, "Mr. Crawford, don't worry. I
won't put myself in any danger."
"I'll ask Rain to protect you." Luke's voice was stiff. Since she insisted, that was the best he could do.
Seeing that he gave in, Luca nodded in agreement and responded, "Okay."
With Luke's and Percy's people protecting her, Jean would not be able to have things his way no matter how
cunning he was.
Luke was still mad because of the danger she opted to put herself in, so he said, "Let's go. Let's grab lunch."
Luca noticed that it was already halfway through their lunch break. They did not notice how much time had
passed as they were engulfed in the planning. She nodded.
The two walked out of the office one after the other. Percy walked over after he had made the necessary
plans. He saw them leaving the office and said, "I assume neither of you had lunch? Let's go. It's my treat."
Luca had to follow them.noveldrama
They did not go very far. They chose to eat at a restaurant near T Corporation.
When the food arrived, Luca noticed that Percy was drinking coffee by himself and had no intentions of
eating. She understood why Percy did not have the appetite. After all, Nina was still missing.
However, he should not starve, so she said, "Mr. Mallory, have a bite?"
Percy looked at the dishes in front of him. His worries did not diminish the slightest. He said, "If Nina is
kidnapped, she wouldn't eat or drink."
Nina was a tough cookie. When they had a difference in opinion and he pissed her off, she would refuse to
eat or drink.
She could starve for several meals. There was once when she fainted after not eating for a few days. When
the family doctor came to give her a nutritional injection, he even scolded her.
If Pierre kidnapped her, she would replicate this method to hurt herself and make him compromise so she
could escape.
