A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

When Claire heard that the matter involved the current president's staff, she immediately put the call on speakerphone.

Francis Underwood across from him had also put away his newspaper.

Claire smiled and asked, "Rachel, I'm curious why you're telling me this."

Rachel said with a smile, "I originally wanted to call Luca, who works at the Herald, but he didn't answer my call. I think the media in Washington would be very interested in this kind of news, so I would like to ask you to help me see if any media outlets would be willing to take this story. I will provide it to them for free."

Claire's smile remained unchanged: "These kinds of scandals are the favorites of the Washington media. I'll help you make the connections, but are you sure you can get the inside information?"

Rachel said, "Just now, FBI Director Penning from Los Angeles intercepted the plane of FBI Director Lewis from California."

Claire's mind raced: "I'll try to get in touch with them for you."

Rachel thanked Claire and then hung up the phone.

Claire hung up the phone, looked at her husband Frank sitting opposite her, and her smile faded.

"She sent this message specifically to us."

"normal."

Francis Underwood, his face expressionless, tidied the newspapers in front of him and looked at his wife Claire, saying, "Barack broke his promise to me. He doesn't know much, but he knows a fair amount."

Barack, the current president.

Like Francis, he is from the Democratic Party.

During the election at the end of last year, Francis and Barack made a deal, with Barack promising to nominate him as vice president if he became president.

but……

Just as Francis had made all the preparations to take office as vice president, Barack reneged on the agreement in February of this year, citing the House of Representatives' need for him to remain in office.

he.

Francis Underwood, the Majority Whip, was tricked.

Moreover, on the eve of his appointment as vice president, he was completely fooled like a complete idiot.

Although the people in Washington didn't say it.

But Francis Underwood knew very well that he had become the most naive and innocent shark in the shark pool of Washington.

Everyone was laughing at him behind his back.

no doubt.

But those who know his temperament also know that he would never swallow his anger like that.

in the ward.

After hanging up the phone, Rachel said to Luke, "Carlisle's husband, the Majority Whip, Frank, according to rumors circulating in Washington, switched his support for Barack's presidential campaign last year because of Lorma Dis's lobbying. So, if there's anyone in Washington who hates Lorma Dis the most, it's undoubtedly Francis Underwood."

When Lu Ke mentioned the mastermind's name, it seemed somewhat familiar to her.

The media is also a circle.

And if Washington's secrets are to be leaked first, they will certainly circulate within the media circle first.

As for whether this secret will be spread, that depends on whether anyone doesn't want it to be revealed.

Or rather, how much they didn't want this secret to be revealed.

The news that the majority party whip was tricked by the president's aide, Lorma Dis, was not leaked to the public.

But Rachel isn't the public.

She is also a member of the media industry, and a graduate of Columbia Journalism School, which occupies half of the federal journalism field.

and so.

When Rachel was looking through the alumni directory and saw Claire Underwood's name, she immediately contacted the news and, instead of calling the senior alumnus of the Herald, told Claire Underwood the news.

Because the same news fell into the hands of the media and a majority party whip.

Their power is worlds apart.

Rachel's expression was already one of eager anticipation as she looked at Luke: "Wouldn't you say I've given this whip a knife?"

Luke already understood Rachel's plan.

Drive the tiger to devour the wolf.

but……

Dealing with a tiger for its skin has always been a very dangerous thing since ancient times.

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "This knife is double-edged. Be careful, or you might end up hurting yourself instead of killing the other person."

Rachel looked at Luke with a beautiful smile on her face: "My boyfriend is the deputy director of operations at the FBI, so I'm not afraid. Besides, you'll protect me, right?"

"of course."

Luke nodded without any hesitation.

Just like how Claire Underwood is on the alumni directory because her husband's name is Francis Underwood.

same.

Although he and Rachel were not married, in some matters, what Rachel said was basically considered by outsiders to be true, which was also what Luke wanted to say.

Since he did not refuse Rachel's revelations, not refusing is essentially equivalent to acquiescing.

at this time.

Earl and Jack also returned from the monitoring room.

"Where is Director Pan Ning?"

"gone."

Luke looked at Earl and Jack as they returned, then turned his gaze away from Rachel and looked at the two of them: "Did you copy the surveillance footage?"

Earl nodded: "It's settled now."

Luke nodded, then looked at Rachel: "I'm going back to the station first. Please keep an eye on Lorna here."

Rachel nodded: "Don't worry, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll take care of things here."

Luke grunted in agreement, then stood up and looked at Earl and Jack: "Let's go back to the station and wait for Chief Louis to return."

Say it.

Lu Ke walked directly towards the ward door. After exiting the ward, he pointed at the three corpses still lying on the ground and said to Jack, "Leave them here. When the forensic doctor arrives, take them away and burn them. Taking them back and leaving them here takes up space."

Jack was taken aback when he heard this.

next second.

He saw the look Luke was giving him.

"Okay, boss."

Jack nodded without hesitation.

Luke withdrew his gaze, said something to Earl beside him, and then led Earl toward the elevator.

If we're not going to burn it, what's the point of keeping it?

Since you've already been used as cannon fodder by others, you should naturally be prepared to become cannon fodder yourself.

Luke is never a saint.

Well known.

However, he never likes to go looking for trouble with others unless they provoke him.

However, he will never hesitate to provoke anyone who dares to mess with him.

While letting others make the first move could put you at a disadvantage.

but……

Responding passively, from a certain perspective, not only carries an inherent sense of justice but also gives oneself a self-defense buff.

Moreover, Lu Ke is also good at something else.

They arrived first, even though they started later.

Now that the enemy has made their move, it's time for him to retaliate.

This is Los Angeles.

His home ground.

The explosion in the Mil community—he said who did it, so it has to be whoever did it.

what?

evidence?

I'll prepare the evidence for you right now.

Inside an Audi A8.

Luke started the car and drove straight out of the hospital. On the way to the Federal Building, he asked Earl in the passenger seat, "Have the explosives in the Mill community been detected?"

Earl shook his head: "Not yet, the ATF agents are still testing them over there."

Luke nodded, then took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Detective Martin of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"Lu Ke?"

Martin.

When Luke heard Detective Martin's voice coming through the phone after the call connected, he got straight to the point.

Are you still in the Mil community?

"Yes, Roger and I..."

"Do me a favor and get the ATF people off the scene."
