A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

after awhile.

Markham's supervisor simply took the phone from his ear and placed it on the car window.

next second.

Luke's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brian!"

"Lu Ke?"

"Lu Ke!"

Brian and Mia, sitting in the passenger seat, listened to the voice coming from the other end of the phone and their eyes lit up. They couldn't help but look at the phone in Director Markham's hand.

Luke also heard Mia's voice and laughed, "Mia, how's the sunshine in Myrme? How's your fun?"

Mia heard the familiar voice, glanced at the unmoved Markham supervisor, and shrugged, saying, "Brian was just saying he wanted to settle here, and then we were arrested by the FBI."

Luke burst into laughter.

Brian looked somewhat embarrassed and tried to defend himself.

"They used electromagnetic pulses."

"If you lose, you lose."

As Luke said this, he got straight to the point: "Listen, the FBI in Myrme has a case that might need your help with. Once you've helped them complete it, they'll reinstate your federal agent status, and then you and Mia can go back to Los Angeles."

This is a deal he just finalized with Pan Ning.

Brian helped the U.S. bureau in Myrme catch this money laundering ring. In return, Brian would join the FBI in Myrme, and then he would be seconded back to Los Angeles from Myrme.

After speaking with Brian, Luke then said to Mia, "Mia, I've already asked around. The villain in this mission doesn't have a sister, so you don't need to worry."

Outside the car, Markham's supervisor couldn't help but look at Mia.

Mia opened her mouth.

"I'm not worried."

"I'm worried!"

Luke laughed and said, "What if Brian gets seduced by the villain's sister? I'm the witness to his character this time. So, Brian, get this sorted out, and then take Mia home. I'll be waiting for you at home. Director Markham will tell you what happens next. Trust him, just as you trust me."

Done.

The phone hangs up.

Markham listened to the dial tone on the phone, looked at Brian and Mia in the car, and said directly, "Let's go back to the office and talk?"

Brian's gaze snapped to Markham.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ke returned the phone to Pan Ning, stood up again, and stretched: "Is there anything else? No, I'm really going back to the hospital this time."

Pan Ning thought for a moment and shook his head: "It's alright. You should go back and rest. I heard from them that you haven't closed your eyes for almost forty-eight hours."

Luke smiled and said, "Let's wait a little longer. For example, when we hear good news from Washington, maybe I can finally get a good night's sleep."

Pan Ning stood up and escorted Luke to the elevator: "Director Louis, and the House Whip, let alone a mere staff member, even the President's chief of staff would probably commit suicide out of guilt in the next day or the day after. Now you can think about the benefits that Director Louis has fought for you, such as the position of deputy director."

Lu Ke pressed the elevator button, listening to Pan Ning's words.

"Deputy Director? Ha, I'm only a deputy supervisor right now."

"The people who came to arrest you are from the Department of Internal Affairs. Director Louis won't let that mascot of the Department of Justice get away with it so easily without spitting something out."

“I haven’t been to the Federal Academy yet.”

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Pan Ning shrugged and smiled at Lu Ke: "Because they broke the rules first, we have to accept that the Department of Justice mascot has to accept our rule-breaking. So, if I were you, I would seize the opportunity."

Rules are meant to be followed, not broken.

Right now, the people in Washington have broken this rule. Naturally, as a reciprocal response, when they break a rule, the Department of Justice knows about it and can only watch silently.

Because they were in the wrong first.

Lu Ke listened to Pan Ning's words.

His mind moved slightly.

"Deputy Director, are you sure?"

"I can only say there's a chance."

Pan Ning looked at the open elevator doors and smiled at Lu Ke: "After all, it was Director Louis, not me, who went to Washington to handle this matter, understand?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

Pan Ning then said goodnight to Lu Ke, and then turned and left the elevator, heading towards the director's office that was finally completely his own.

After half an hour.

Hospital ward.

Rachel, who was curled up on the sofa with a laptop in her arms, chatting with several media reporters from Washington, D.C., saw Luke enter the room. Her eyes lit up, she moved the laptop aside, stood up, and was about to speak when she saw the expression on Luke's face and paused.

"what happened?"

"nothing."

Luke shook his head, looked at Rachel, and said with a strange expression, "In a few days, I might become the Assistant Director of Federal Special Operations in Los Angeles."

Rachel: "..."

Chapter 126 The Way a Respectable Person Dies (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!!!)

Yes.

Assistant Director of Federal Secret Service Operations.

but……

A more precise statement would be: FBI, California, Los Angeles, Assistant Director of Operations.

Level B3.

Head of operations department.

When Pan Ning returned to his office, Lu Ke understood Pan Ning's unspoken message.

So on his way back to the hospital, he called Chief Louis.

He seemed to be busy on the plane.

but……

Lu Ke did not feel embarrassed.

When a big shot is busy, especially when he's doing *that* kind of thing, and he still answers your call, it means either you're one of his close associates, or he's been waiting for your call.

Clearly, Luke belongs to the latter category, but Director Louis is thinking of grooming Luke to become the former.

Lu Ke didn't waste any time on the phone.

The main focus is just one word.

loyalty!

After listening, Director Louis seemed quite satisfied and hung up the phone.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated on the phone, judging from Chief Louis's tone and attitude, it was probably true.

No one can make a mistake and then expect forgiveness without any explanation.

Again.

It's not about right or wrong, it's all about saving face.

If Chief Louis doesn't make that judicial mascot bleed a lot out of him, who knows what else that mascot might do.

such as……

He now dares to send agents from the Department of Justice's Internal Affairs Division directly to Chief Louis's territory to investigate the agents under Chief Louis's command.

What about tomorrow?

Will the Department of Justice dare to send agents from the Department of Internal Affairs to investigate this powerful California director tomorrow?

This is no longer just a simple provocation.

Must hit hard.

What's more, this time, they have the House Whip as an ally.

This battle.

Chief Louis wanted to make one thing clear to the Department of Justice and the person in the white building.

Don't think that just because you're a mascot you can act arrogantly. Temporary workers still need to be treated with politeness and courtesy, just like those who have permanent positions.

otherwise……

Let me show you what an FBI warning really means!

Rachel, who was kneeling on the sofa with her hands on it and was about to get up, was momentarily stunned by Luke's words.

"Assistant Director of Federal Secret Service Operations?"

"Ah."

"hiss!"

Rachel gasped, snapped out of her daze, and scurried off the sofa barefoot. She grabbed Luke's arm and pulled him onto the sofa, her eyes bright and full of curiosity as she looked at him: "What happened? How come you got promoted again after only three hours?"

Good guy.

Rachel was somewhat surprised.

After all, she was well aware of Lu Ke's career path after they started dating.

Four months ago, before the Bill Kings case happened, Luke was just an ordinary detective.

Following the Bill Kings case, due to its immense influence, Luke was directly promoted to Federal Senior Special Agent by Director Louis.
