A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Director Louis abruptly changed the subject, exuding an aura of "Who the hell dares to touch my men?" He looked at Lu Ke and Pan Ning and said in a deep voice, "I don't care if they mess with other people, but they can't mess with my men!"

talking.

Director Louis called Rebecca in and instructed her to immediately request a flight to Washington, D.C. He then stood up and said to Luke and Panning, "Stay here. I'll go to Washington myself and have some fun with this president's staff."

Director Louis left without warning.

Without the slightest hesitation or ambiguity.

After he finished speaking these words to Luke and Pan Ning in a deep voice, he waved his hand and headed to the top floor with his secretary, Rebecca.

The helicopter on the rooftop is ready.

Director Louis would fly directly to the airport by helicopter, and then take his private plane from there to Washington, D.C.

He made an appointment with Francis Underwood to meet up for coffee tomorrow.

soon.

The helicopter took off, carrying Director Louis and his secretary Rebecca, and went straight off the roof of the Federal Building.

Luke and Panning stood at the doorway on the roof, watching the helicopter fly away into the distance.

Pan Ning watched the plane gradually shrink in his line of sight, then looked at Lu Ke and couldn't help but make a joke.

“If it weren’t for your unusual skin color, I would have suspected that you were also Director Louis’s illegitimate son.”

"also?"

Lu Ke caught the key words in the sentence and looked at Pan Ning.

This is gossip about the boss.

"Elaborate!"

"That's not something you can tell me."

Director Louis quickly waved his hand and looked at Luke: "The guy who went into such detail last time has already been sent to Guantanamo Bay to watch the seagulls by Director Louis."

Lu Ke nodded thoughtfully, then turned and left the rooftop with Pan Ning, heading towards the elevator.

"what's on your mind."

"Promotion!"

Luke snapped out of his reverie and looked at Chief Pan Ning, who had been asking him the question. He joked, "Do you think if I complained to Chief Louis, you'd end up like him, going to Guantanamo Bay to see the seagulls? If that happened, wouldn't I have a chance to take over the Los Angeles Chief's position?"

Director Pan Ning laughed and nodded upon hearing this: "Indeed, the person who did this last time thought the same thing. Do you know what happened to him in the end?"

Lu Ke reached out and pressed the elevator button, looking curiously at Pan Ning.

"How about it."

"he died!"

"suicide?"

"The kind where someone is shot eight times in the back."

Director Pan Ning said with a serious expression, "That guy died a really horrible death."

"hiss!"

Lu Ke gasped and followed Pan Ning into the elevator. Then, he looked at Pan Ning with a serious expression and said, "Good riddance. So, the most hateful people are those who stab their partners in the back. What do you think, Director Pan Ning?"

Pan Ning smiled and said, "I completely agree."

Lu Ke smiled slightly and reached out his hand to Director Pan Ning.

"Fortunately, I'm not the kind of person who likes to stab people in the back."

"me too."

Pan Ning shook hands with Lu Ke and said the same thing.

Ding!

The elevator door opens.

The two stepped out of the elevator and returned to the director's office.

After inviting Lu Ke to sit down, Pan Ning divided the remaining half bottle of whiskey in half between them.

"correct."

Pan Ning picked up his wine glass and looked at Lu Ke: "I didn't have time to ask about your sister's condition when we were at the hospital."

Lu Ke clinked glasses: "The worst situation is over, but the doctor said whether she can wake up depends on her will. Moreover, even if she wakes up, the doctor said that the aftereffects of the concussion may cause her to forget some things or some people."

Hearing this, Pan Ning clinked glasses with Lu Ke: "It's good that everyone is alright. Besides, I believe your sister's will to live is definitely no less than yours."

After clinking glasses, Lu Ke took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "I think so too."

How strong is the willpower of Polaris?

That's someone who can use their X ability even with a limiter.

at this point.

Lorna Dane is far superior to her father, Magneto.

Lu Ke thought to himself.

at this time.

Pan Ning's phone rang.

"An ATF call?"

Pan Ning glanced at the caller ID, gestured for Lu Ke to wait a moment, and answered the phone, saying loudly, "Good evening, Horton..."

The caller was Horton, the director of the Los Angeles ATF.

after awhile.

Pan Ning pressed the pause button and looked at Lu Ke sitting next to him: "You had Earl drive all the ATF people out of the scene?"

Lu Ke nodded directly: "Yes, I wouldn't trust anyone else with this case."

Pan Ning nodded thoughtfully, stood up, grabbed the phone, and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window, resuming his conversation with ATF Director Horton.

quite a while.

Director Pan Ning hung up the phone, sat back down on the sofa, and looked at Luke: "When I was the operations director at Myrme, this Horton was also at Myrme. We worked together on several cases. He's a good guy. Let Earl let him go."

Luke didn't say anything, but took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Earl, who had already arrived at the scene.

"Team leader."

Are the ATF representatives still on site?

"Yes."

"Let them do what they're supposed to do."

"……Yes."

"Come back too, ATF is one of us."

"Ok."

Luke immediately hung up the phone.

Director Pan Ning raised his glass: "When it comes to explosions, the ATF test report is the most authoritative. In Myrme, Horton helped with the reports for all three cases. Of course, we also helped him a lot."

It is clear.

Director Pan Ning is saying that unity, friendship, and mutual assistance are the main themes of the FBI and ATF.

The ATF will provide the FBI with the explosion detection report they require.

To be precise.

ATF will provide a complete, customized service to ensure that the results will be exactly what the FBI wants.

Because this is Los Angeles.

The law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles have always helped their own people; there is no precedent or tradition of them helping outsiders bully their own people.

Lu Ke understood immediately and simply gave up the idea of ​​going to the scene to collect evidence.

Very simple.

The Justice Department's internal affairs agent failed to subdue him immediately at the hospital and was instead killed by him in self-defense, thus shifting the initiative in the case to him.

Although this bombing in the Mill neighborhood was not orchestrated by any of the president's staff in Washington.

Lu Ke also had no evidence on hand.

But reasonable doubt is enough.

After all, the struggles in Washington have never been about evidence. If evidence were useful, then a whole host of congressmen in Washington would probably be removed from office.

The important thing is that this time, this presidential aide has offended too many people.

Or perhaps his thinking was too simplistic.

He may know that Luke's girlfriend is named Rachel, but he probably doesn't know that Rachel has a classmate named Claire Underwood, whose husband happens to be the House Whip Francis Underwood, whom he messed up badly during last year's election.

This guy seemed to have no idea what he would face if he failed to catch Luke after orchestrating this scheme to secretly bring the Justice Department's internal agents here, or if his scheme was exposed.

He will face the full force of the wrath of the FBI's California governor!

You didn't even ask any questions, just crossed state lines to enforce the law and arrested my people from my territory?

Are you fucking crazy?

This is the real reason why Chief Louis was so angry.

It has nothing to do with the truth.

It's all about saving face!
