Chapter 734: Heroic Jennifer and Digging Pits

After saying that, the doctor was in a bind.

There was only one stretcher, and Bruce was acting as the blood bag. It would be dangerous for him to run along with them.

Luke helped Bruce up. “I’ll take him. Just don’t let anything happen to yourselves.”

The doctor was lost for words. Who was the professional here?

Very soon, the cousins were brought downstairs and into the ambulance.

“Let’s go, boss. We’ll take them to the hospital,” said Luke.

The three of them got into the car and cleared the way for the ambulance.

Gasping for breath in the backseat for a moment, Dustin then said, “Thank you, Selina.”

Selina asked, “Huh?”

Dustin asked, “You did it, right?”

Selina smiled. “Boss, they were just a bunch of hooligans.”

Dustin didn’t say anything else.

In an emergency, it was still his loyal subordinates who were more reliable.

There was no need to say any nonsense, nor did he have to beg for help.

Soon, the police car arrived at the hospital with the ambulance, and Bruce was pushed in on a stretcher.

The man looked helpless. “Hey, I’m not a patient.”

Luke said, “We’ll talk to the doctor, but Jennifer needs you, understand, Mr. Banner?”

Stumped for a moment, Banner nodded with a bitter smile. “Alright, as long as we can save Jennifer.”

With that, he was pushed away.

Luke and the other two followed Jennifer to the E.R. and looked at the red light.

Dustin stared at the light for a moment before he sat down and waved at Luke.

After Luke sat down next to him, he said in a low voice, “Recently, the Elsworth family has been looking for people who are targeting them. I suggested that Jennifer do nothing for the time being, but it seems that she didn’t listen to me.”

Looking at Luke’s doubtful eyes, Dustin sighed. “I’m partly to blame. I used my connections to find a lot of leads for her. We were actually exchanging information about Elsworth over dinner.”

Luke’s eyes were sincere, but Selina couldn’t help but look away.

Bullsh*t! A lonely middle-aged man who would rather hide in his office and eat spaghetti every day was actually willing to take the time to have dinner in a restaurant? She jeered inwardly.

Ignoring the fact that his poor excuse wouldn’t fool his two smart subordinates, Dustin continued, “She just told me that she took advantage of the earthquake last night and found key evidence of the Elsworth family’s crimes.”

Luke had a strange expression on his face. “Boss, where did that state police investigation file and videotape come from?”

“Jennifer has long been paying attention to Terry Rodry, a deputy commissioner with the state police. His wife is from the Elsworth family, and he used that to climb to his position.” Dustin smiled bitterly and lowered his voice involuntarily. “Jennifer found out that he’s wiped the Elsworths’ asses many times, and concluded that he must have something shady on his hands.”

He stopped.

Looking at his face, Luke said, “Don’t tell me Jennifer… used direct force?”

Dustin sighed and nodded. “Terry was preoccupied with hiding from the earthquake last night. She found an opportunity to knock him out with a taser and grabbed the briefcase he was carrying. The briefcase contained the case file and videotape. We speculate that this might be a secret trump card which Terry left for himself. Nobody in the Elsworth family knew about it.”

Luke was lost for words. How much guts could a person have? Jennifer was definitely a hero for daring to go up against the Elsworths in California.

Dustin didn’t have any misgivings about telling Luke the truth. “These things weren’t obtained legally, and will become inadmissible evidence in court. So, she was asking me how they could be used. Just as I was about to leave, those people showed up to silence her.”

Hearing Dustin’s words, Luke nodded. “What were you planning to do?”

Dustin said, “The Elsworths are too powerful in California, and this might be covered up. At my suggestion, Jennifer contacted an acquaintance at the FBI.”

“Then, those criminals showed up?” asked Luke.

Dustin nodded gloomily. “I’m worried about her acquaintance. Jennifer only hinted that the intelligence she had was related to a major power, and we were attacked half an hour later.”

“There’s something wrong with that acquaintance,” Luke said confidently. “Does he know about you?”

Dustin said, “Probably not before the gunfight, but it might be different now.”

There was no way that news of this gunfight which involved dozens of people and a heavily wounded person could be hidden from the Elsworths, who had eyes and ears everywhere in Los Angeles.

Luke sighed. “Boss, sleep on the floor at the police department for the next few days.”

Dustin shook his head. “Jennifer is still here.”

After the nurse walked away, Luke said in a low voice, “I left a copy of the evidence in the apartment building. I told Elsa to delay them from taking it away. We still have some time before they get their hands on the fake and confirm its authenticity.”

Dustin frowned. “What do you want to do?”

Luke raised an eyebrow. “I pissed them off a long time ago. Weren’t you the ones who told me to restrain myself? I don’t think I need to do that now, do I?”

Dustin smiled bitterly. “Are you going to shoot them all dead? That’s not possible.”

In America, using this sort of violent method to deal with a big family was impossible. This was how the hierarchy worked in this country.

Such a crude method would only draw a collective attack.

If he wanted to take down a big family, he would have to use the rules of the “game” between them.

Luke said with a smile, “Don’t forget that we have superheroes.”

Dustin: “What?”

Luke shrugged. “I just need to publish this information anonymously on the Internet. With Iron Man’s technology, do you think they won’t be able to see it?”

Here, he deliberately described Iron Man and Batman as partners.

Even if one day, a certain tycoon’s identity was exposed, nobody would be able to ask him about it.

Dustin frowned. “But… they usually only save people, right?”

Luke said, “There might be other victims that have suffered at the Elsworths’ hands. We can use them to expose everything. The Elsworth family isn’t strong enough to suppress news of a superhero.”

Dustin frowned and was lost in thought.

Even if the Elsworths controlled all the media in California, they couldn’t control agencies like the FBI and CIA.

As long as Batman’s team clashed with the Elsworths, the reason for the conflict would inevitably be revealed to these intelligence agencies.

While the news media couldn’t take care of the Elsworths, the FBI and CIA could.

The benefits of openly taking down the Elsworth family were enormous, and some would be tempted.

Thinking about it this way, this plan was indeed possible.

Luke got up. “I’ll go prepare something for you. If you’re not going to work today, let Elsa know that she now has a packed schedule.”
