A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Luke found it hard to refuse Pan Ning's enthusiasm. After being hugged by Pan Ning, he said expressionlessly, "Michelle's body washed up on Long Beach yesterday afternoon. Be careful, you should be sad now, not so happy."

Yes.

Five days ago, a close friend of Chief of Police Michelle reported to the police that Michelle had been missing for about ten days and requested the police department to investigate.

Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department intervened immediately after receiving the information.

The FBI did not send anyone there.

Because this was not a kidnapping case, and no signs of fighting or kidnapping were found in Director Pan Ning's home.

Luke directly rejected the Los Angeles Police Department's request for the FBI to take over the case, citing that federal agents had too many cases.

Chief Penning, who was in Sacramento, had his phone switched off and the Los Angeles Police Department had no way of contacting him.

Yesterday afternoon, tourists playing on Boracay beach discovered an unidentified object that had been washed ashore by the waves.

After examination, the Los Angeles Police Department's medical examiner confirmed that the highly decomposed and bloated body, which appeared to have been dead for more than ten days, was Michelle.

As for the cause of death?

The preliminary conclusion from the forensic doctor is that the cause of death was drowning.

Upon hearing this, Pan Ning released Lu Ke's embrace, apologized, and tried her best to keep a straight face, but she still couldn't hide her joy: "I proposed successfully, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke was slightly taken aback.

"You're proposing now?"

"Correct."

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Lu Ke then hugged Pan Ning, offering his embrace, and after letting go, pointed to the autopsy report on Pan Ning's desk: "This is a copy of your wife's autopsy report that I got from the forensic office. Take a look when you have time."

Pan Ning glanced at it, not even looking at it: "When I got off the plane, I already spoke with those two detectives from the police station, and I accept the results of the Los Angeles Police Department's investigation."

Ever since Louis died, Panning felt that the sky was always so blue.

Michelle?

who is she.

When he was young and naive, he gave up love for his future, but now that he's matured, Pan Ning realizes that what he really wants is love.

and!

Pan Ning believes that she now has the right to protect her love.

Lu Ke paid no attention to Pan Ning's psychological changes and simply extended his right hand.

"Where is my pardon?"

"...Here."

Pan Ning snapped out of his daze, took out a folded document from his pocket—a pardon order that had already been signed by the state bureau and was ready to be delivered to the district attorney's office to revoke Dominic Toledo's criminal record—and handed it to Luke.

Lu Ke took it, opened it, looked at the contents, and checked to see if it was the one he wanted.

Pan Ning took off his suit jacket, then threw Michelle's autopsy report from the table into the nearby trash can, before gesturing for Lu Ke to sit down on the sofa: "By the way, you, get rid of him."

Luke put away the pardon and looked up at Pan Ning.

"Your sister-in-law?"

"Correct."

"gone."

Luke nodded: "After Michelle reported her missing, I had Earl revoke all of your sister-in-law's privileges and sent her away politely. However, she seems quite unwilling to accept it."

Pan Ning's eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"I'll take care of it."

"You handle your own affairs."

Lu Ke smiled, got up from the sofa, and looked at Pan Ning: "I'm going to the District Attorney's office first. We'll talk again when I'm done. You should rest for a bit."

talking.

Without waiting for Pan Ning's reply, Lu Ke walked straight out the door.

five minutes later.

Luke drove his black Audi A8 away from the Federal Building in a flash, heading quickly towards the District Attorney's office.

after an hour.

Luke shook hands with the District Attorney's office chief prosecutor, smiled, turned and left the office, returning to his car.

Back in the car, Luke took off his sunglasses, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Letty directly.

Letty, who was already waiting for Tang at the airport, answered Luke's call almost immediately.

"Hey!"

"come back."

"it is good!!"

"..."

Chapter 180 2:30 AM (Fourth update, please subscribe!!)

That night.

Number 1327.

The house, which had been quiet and still for so long, was once again filled with a long-lost hustle and bustle because of the return of Don and Letty.

beer.

barbecue.

Energetic songs and hot dances.

There are also stunning beauties, and everything you could want.

Vince arrived almost immediately, and upon seeing Don, he embraced Don and wept bitterly.

no way.

Vince was heartbroken.

"Tang, you have no idea."

Vince, holding Don, who was now darker and thinner but still bald, choked back tears and sobbed, "You haven't been to Luke's party. Good heavens, can you even call that a party? I almost thought I went to a church to confess."

The parties Luke organizes in his backyard every week can be described in one word.

素！

Too plain!

It's so damn vegetarian!

It's one thing to not have beautiful women—Vince isn't the kind of womanizer who's obsessed with women—but the lack of even some upbeat music is a bit much.

He even remembered one time when he brought his own speaker, but as soon as he plugged it in, Lu Ke unplugged it and told him to speak a little quieter so as not to disturb the neighbors.

If you hate noise, then don't organize a party.

Vince felt extremely wronged.

it's good now.

Tang is finally back.

Vince felt as if he had found his pillar of support. After seeing Tang, he hugged Tang tightly and wouldn't let go, holding Tang and venting his grievances for a long time.

Letty and Mia, who had just returned, stood together, each holding a bottle of beer. They watched Vince, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, and Don, whose face was full of helplessness and speechlessness, with great amusement.

Mia was also happy for her brother and Letty's return, and looked at Letty: "When you and Don weren't here, this house always felt like something was missing."

Letty and Mia clinked their beers: "Lucy told us not to come back so soon, to give us a long vacation and wait for his news."

Mia laughed and asked, "Is it fun?"

Letty shook her head: "I don't know if it's fun or not, but the gas truck drivers over there definitely don't think it's fun."

The gas truck drivers over there practically hate them.

After all, ever since Don and Letty arrived there, the price of gasoline on the black market has plummeted, while the price of gasoline on the regular market has skyrocketed.

Fortunately, Luke's call came just in time.

Because the gas truck drivers over there had already figured out how to deal with Don and Letty.

"correct."

Letty glanced at the time on her watch, then looked at the lively men and women in the house and asked Mia, "Did Luke say he'd be coming tonight?"

Mia shook her head: "I don't know, but Luke has never really liked overly noisy occasions."

Last year, Luke rarely attended any of their parties, and even when he did, he would only stay for a short while, have a beer, and then leave.

Letty nodded: "That's true, and given his current status, it's not really appropriate for him to come here to participate..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Luke and Brian walked over from the backyard and overheard Letty's words. Standing behind Letty, Luke smiled and said, "Letty, no matter who I am, we are family."

Letty tossed her head and turned around.

Luke stood behind her with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.

"Lucy!" Letty exclaimed, giving Luke a delighted hug.

Luke smiled and hugged Letty: "Welcome home."

Mia exchanged a glance with Brian, who had come with Luke, then the two drew closer to each other, clasped each other's hands tightly, and crossed them.

Tang, who had been harassed by Vince, abandoned Vince upon seeing Luke and walked towards him. He raised his right hand, bumped fists with Luke as usual, and said with a smile, "Thanks."
