Life at the Top

Chapter 2265

About twenty minutes later, Professor Osmond brought several people to the oil field under Jasper’s name.

After getting out of the car, Osmond glanced at the people at the door and asked with a frown.

“Where is Jasper Laine?” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Julian, who had been guarding the door, immediately showed a smile after he saw this.

“Sorry, Professor Osmond. Mr. Laine is really sick right now. He can’t come out to greet you, so he specially arranged for me to come over… Please come with me.”

Originally, Osmond was very upset, but seeing that Julian was very polite, he stopped pursuing the matter.

He took his signature silver suitcase and walked in with Julian.

Everyone came to a small building, went up the stairs, and entered a spacious and bright meeting room.

Jasper was sitting here. He deliberately put a little bit of makeup on his face to pretend to be sick.

Osmond thought that Jasper was pretending to be sick, but when he saw Jasper’s pale face, he changed his mind a little.

“Hello, Professor Osmond, I’m really sorry that I’m not doing well today and couldn’t take the initiative to greet you…”

Osmond quickly waved his hands after seeing Jasper’s weak appearance.

“Okay, okay, I don’t care about this at all. It‘s fine as long as you can obediently accept the test. Is the crude oil sample ready?”

After Osmond finished speaking, Jasper immediately looked at the staff next to him.

The other party was also prepared and quickly took out the crude oil sample. This time, because there were not so many people watching, Osmond did not need to pretend to enter the laboratory.

He skillfully opened the silver suitcase and directly took out the bottle of bright green reagent inside.

However, before Osmond did anything, he turned around and said, “Draw the curtains and turn on the lights!”

After hearing this, Jasper felt a little strange, so he hurriedly asked, “Professor Osmond, why do you have to close the curtains and turn on the lights? Isn’t it superfluous?”

Osmond reluctantly began to explain, ”It’s because this new detection reagent is phototaxis. Artificial light can be irradiated, but not natural light. Stop talking so much, time is running out!”

Jasper nodded immediately, and then hurriedly spoke a few words to Julian next to him.

Julian then immediately arranged for someone to close the curtains and turn on the lights.

After everything was ready, everyone gathered around the table, wanting to see how powerful this so- called new testing reagent was. No one, including Osmond, saw Julian quietly leaving through the door.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Osmond took out the reagent and the dropper and dropped a bit of the reagent directly into the petri dish. Soon the final result appeared. It was almost exactly the same as Saul’s earlier that day.

The original black oil in the petri dish gradually turned the color of water, which looked very strange. After that, Osmond still announced with a straight face.

“As you can see, your oil field also failed the inspection…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire conference room was suddenly pitch black!

The room became chaotic in an instant, and Osmond was also flustered. He did not know what to do.

Fortunately, Jasper spoke at this time.

“I’m sorry, Professor Osmond, there may be a problem with the circuit and the power went out. It’ll be back to normal soon.”

Sure enough, after about tens of seconds, the room was filled with light again.

Julian walked in from the position of the door and said apologetically, “I’m really sorry, it’s because the voltage outside was unstable that there was a powertrip.”
