When she gets jealous, she becomes even more sarcastic and unpleasant.

Looking at Rachel, whose lips were upturned after she finished speaking, Luke shook his head with amusement and said, "This should be the second time you've seen my name. I mean the first time."

Rachel knew, of course, that this was the second time she had seen Luke's name and picture.

She said that simply to ease the somewhat tense atmosphere.

Rachel had a vague feeling that she might hear some shocking inside information about the FBI.

"You mean that day, when you fought the Tang gang to the death, and almost got shot by them while covering Earl and the others' retreat?"

"Correct."

"What happened?"

"Bill Kings is dead."

“I know him, the former operations director of Los Angeles. I’ve heard of him, but his reputation isn’t exactly stellar…”

"Washington suspects that I am involved in Bill Kings' death, or rather, they suspect that I killed Bill Kings."

"What??"

Chapter 120 Taking the Initiative! (Fourth update, please subscribe!)

"I doubt you. Why? Just because you're not dead, God. The gunshot wound in your arm, and the gunshot wound in your chest... you're almost dead too..."

"Bill Kings' uncle is an aide to the president."

"..."

Rachel immediately fell silent and looked at Luke, who had interrupted her.

next second.

Rachel realized what was happening.

This has nothing to do with official business.

It's all personal grudges.

But there is no reason.

Luke understood Rachel's confusion and explained, "Externally, all the responsibility was placed on the Tangren Gang, but internally within the Federation, Director Louis attributed all the responsibility to dereliction of duty and moved the entire task force to Bill Kings outside the Federal Building. As a result, the director and deputy director of Los Angeles were taken away by Washington for questioning."

Rachel suddenly realized.

"So Bill Kings' uncle couldn't sit still anymore and decided to target you to shift the blame onto you?"

"Yes."

"..."

Rachel didn't ask why Bill Kings' uncle didn't target Chief Louis.

This is a stupid question.

Let's say that.

If Chief Louis had been afraid, this internal case closure report wouldn't have been sent to Washington.

and so……

Persimmons need to be squeezed when they are soft.

In Bill Kings' uncle's eyes, Luke was undoubtedly an easy target.

The most critical point.

If Lu Ke is handled well, he can become a perfect scapegoat, allowing the blame to be perfectly shifted onto Lu Ke's head to cover up all the troubles his nephew is currently facing.

Although Luke nearly died in that incident, he was saved after a desperate rescue.

But this doesn't change a crucial fact.

Luke was the biggest beneficiary of that incident.

Thinking of this, Rachel's beautiful eyebrows furrowed tightly as she looked at Luke: "Last night, you and Director Louis were in the study discussing how Bill Kings' uncle might target you?"

Luke nodded.

"He has no chance at all to cause trouble for me through these cases."

"The other party probably wouldn't dare. Both of these cases were led by Chief Louis. Making trouble for you in these two cases is no different from making trouble for Chief Louis directly."

Rachel echoed Luke's words.

Both the Bill Kings case and the Chen Huaxing case have been closed.

And it was Director Louis who signed it.

Anyone who tries to cause trouble for Luke through these two cases is practically causing trouble for Chief Louis.

In other words.

If anyone wanted to use these two cases to find fault with Luke, they were given a perfectly legitimate reason by Chief Louis.

Bill Kings may be stupid.

But his uncle is certainly not stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have become the president's aide.

Therefore, the only way he could shift all the blame onto Luke without offending Director Louis or giving him an excuse to step down was to do so.

Lu Ke, that guy!

By discrediting Luke, they could both avoid offending Chief Louis and clear the name of his nephew, Bill Kings.

Because if Luke himself has problems, then any cases related to Luke will naturally be rejected.

This is why, in the federal government, after many police officers are exposed for their misconduct, a large number of convicted criminals are released from prison.

Because you're a corrupt officer, who knows if you also took money from others and wronged innocent people in the cases you've handled before?

Rachel remembered what Luke had just mentioned about the three bodies found under the ruins of his adoptive parents' house, which had been confirmed to be agents of the Washington, D.C. Department of Internal Affairs.

Wait a moment.

Luke's adoptive parents died.

The three agents also died.

And, coincidentally, on the very night those three internal affairs agents were searching for Luke's adoptive parents, they died in a sudden explosion!

moment.

Rachel seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at Luke.

"Thick and greasy Xie Te!"

"The Mills neighborhood was demolished in Washington, D.C.!"

"..."

Luke's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Rachel.

Looking at Rachel's terrified eyes, he had assumed that Rachel, like Chief Louis and his secretary Rebecca, suspected that he was behind the bombing.

really.

His girlfriend was on his side.

in fact……

Rachel's thinking is entirely consistent with the mainstream assumptions of the Commonwealth.

Simply put.

When in doubt, Washington takes the blame.

Whenever conspiracy theories are involved, before the conspiracy is debunked, it's safe to assume that you're right to suspect Washington.

After all, those people in Washington are never human when it comes to being inhuman.

Just like the September 2001 incident.

Most federal citizens are quite certain that the incident was actually orchestrated by some politicians in Washington in conjunction with military-industrial companies.

The purpose was simply to create an excuse to send troops and consume the massive stockpiles of weapons for the military industry entrepreneurs.

and so!

This incident involving Luke also involved a politician in Washington, D.C., who was also an aide to the president.

He committed such a heinous act simply to help clear his nephew's name.

Is it weird?

Not surprisingly!

Rachel's gaze fell on the three corpses lying at the door, and she gasped: "After the bombing, they came to your door so eagerly, trying to arrest you. It's obvious that they were prepared from the beginning, wanting to frame you for the bombing."

Just like how Washington framed the Taliban, who were then in Afghanistan, for the Twin Towers incident.

This time, Washington followed suit, attempting to frame Luke, who was at a party at his Malibu seaside estate, for the Mil community bombing.

no doubt.

This is a frame-up!

This is yet another elaborate frame-up orchestrated by Washington politicians, perfectly in line with their code of conduct.

Rachel thought to herself, then couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Luke.

"Luckily you didn't fall for their trick. Otherwise, if you had gone with them, you would have been in real trouble. They probably already have the evidence ready for you, just waiting for you to turn yourself in!"

"...That's right!"

Luke looked at Rachel, whose imagination was running wild, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He then nodded vigorously: "When you gave me the badge at noon, I noticed something was off, but I wasn't sure at the time. After all... I'm still too kind."

Rachel rolled her eyes at Luke: "You're overestimating those people in Washington. You should have told me sooner. I'm your girlfriend, and I have a responsibility and obligation to help you."

Under Rachel's watchful gaze, Luke accepted her criticism and lecture.

"Darling, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you."

"You can't do that next time."
