Chapter 1

Early morning, Los Angeles.

“Buzz~” the alarm on the cell phone at the foot of the bed went off.

A young man with a bandage on his head slowly woke up, with black eyes, black hair, and the deep silhouette of a westerner.

He was originally a Chinese criminal police officer, and it had been half a month since he crossed over, and every time he woke up it still felt like a dream.

Now his name was Luke Lee, and he was a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Father is a Chinese.

The mother is white.

Although still a police officer, both with Chinese ancestry, he is very uncomfortable with his current identity.

The original owner of the body has a flamboyant personality, acts unpredictably, and depends on his likes and dislikes.

On the surface, he looks dashing, but in private, he is called an asshole.

To put it bluntly, he had a low emotional intelligence, and for this reason he hadn’t offended many people.

It was completely different from the way he acted in his previous life, causing him to be very passive now.

What made him even more depressed was that the original owner also did not have a good relationship with his family, while he now had to borrow his mother’s house in an awkward situation.

However, crossing over wasn’t without its benefits, and now he was younger and fitter.

The projection on the window wasn’t very clear, but the outline of bulging muscles could still be faintly seen.

All in all, it’s not bad to be alive again ……

“Jack, go downstairs and eat.

If you miss the school bus again today, don’t expect me to drive you!”

A woman shouted from downstairs, it was his current mom, Linda.

Jack was his brother, a chubby little thirteen year old – not cute at all.

It was a wooden two-story cottage, with the living room, kitchen and master bedroom on the first floor.

On the second floor was the bathroom, den, and bedrooms for both brothers.

At this point, just into March, the temperature in Los Angeles was a comfortable 10° to 20°.

He wore a padded blue shirt and gray jeans out of the bedroom and turned into the adjacent bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.

After washing up, Luke prepared to go downstairs.

The wooden white stair boards ‘creaked’ like a reminder as his feet stepped on them.

On the right hand side of the stairs was the living room, and on the left hand side was the open kitchen.

A white woman wearing a Hello Kitty apron was busy in the kitchen.

Luke squeezed out a smile, “Hi, Mom, good morning.”

Linda didn’t raise an eyelid, “No, I’m not good at all.

I’m sure the neighbors are going to gossip about you again last night when you came home dragging your suitcase with a bandage on your head.”

Luke said helplessly, “I didn’t want to, but Lena and I broke up …… and I need to borrow the place for a while.”

Linda put down the shovel, “I’ve said before not to stay with that woman. She doesn’t even have basic respect when she sees her elders, this kind of girl is not worth dating.

What about you?

Didn’t take my words to heart at all.”

Luke nodded, “She really wasn’t a good person to date, I dumped her.”

“It was you who got dumped, wasn’t it.” Linda looked like I knew it all along.

Luke smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Linda was a little surprised, according to her eldest son’s character he wouldn’t have gone soft on the issue, he would have argued, bickered and made a scene.

Just like this flagging down, in turn, let her some uncomfortable.

This kid …… is a little different today?

Matured?

Luke walked to the foyer, picked up the black helmet, and greeted, “I’m going to work.”

“Cluck ……”

Down the stairs came a thirteen or fourteen year old teenager rubbing his eyes with a chubby white hand, “Mom, I’m in the growing phase, can’t you let me sleep more?”

Linda shrugged, “You’ve grown fat enough, what you need now is exercise.”

Luke traced his right hand straight ahead from his right temple, “If it isn’t sweet little old me. How have you been?”

The chubby little man rolled his eyes, “No, the thought of being cheated out of my New Year’s money gives me the urge to turn into the Hulk.”

Luke was going to be staying here on loan for a while and couldn’t pretend he didn’t hear it if he wanted to get on with his family.

He rolled up his sleeves, “Older brother, who cheated you of your New Year’s money, tell me?”

The little fat man looked at Luke expressionlessly, as if saying ‘you keep acting’ again.

Luke had fused most of the original owner’s memories, but some of the details were not clear.

Seeing the other party’s demeanor, he also realized that there might be a problem, and carefully recalled the original owner’s memories ……

He was embarrassed.

“That …… pressure money will be taken as a loan from me, and will be returned to you as soon as possible, counting the interest.”

Luke looked down at his watch, “I’m going to be late, Bye.”

Grabbing his leather gloves, he fled under the expectant gaze of his family.

First attempt to improve relations with his family.

Failed.

“Bang!”

Room door slams.

Fatty pulls a carton of milk out of the refrigerator and pours it into a glass, “Mom, did I just hear wrong, he actually offered to pay back the money?”

Linda put the omelet on a plate, “He is indeed a bit abnormal today, don’t get your hopes up.”

“I understand.”

Little Fatty sighed softly, “Is this guy really my real brother?”

“As much as I don’t want to admit it either, that’s the truth.”

Little Fatty wore a mature expression that didn’t fit his age, “Yea, that’s what’s sad.”

Linda pointed a shovel at Little Fatty, “Jack, put your mind in the right place. If you don’t get a B or above this time, your console waits for another life.”

Luke’s family lived in a middle-class neighborhood with a nice community.

Their house was on the small side of the community, and the yard was only twenty to thirty square meters, with a green lawn on the east side, and a garage on the west side, with a concrete area in front of the garage.

A ‘muscular’ black motorcycle was parked there, a 2021 Harley Fatboy.

Schwarzenegger was riding the Harley Fatboy series in the movie Terminator II.

Luke took off the bandage on his head, which didn’t help a bit.

Putting on his helmet, he straddled the motorcycle, put it in first gear and gently twisted the throttle to minimize the roar of the motorcycle.

He didn’t want to sleep on the streets.

The motorcycle eased onto the community highway, and the farther away from home he got, the higher the gear, the faster he went.

“Woo-hoo ……”

The ride on the Harley felt steady!

The bike is heavy and the seat is low, so it’s more like driving than riding.

The scenery along the highway in Los Angeles is beautiful, with the turquoise Pacific Ocean on one side and steep cliff mountains on the other, and many people make a special trip to drive here.

Of course, even the most beautiful highway encounters the same problem, traffic jams.

Luke had no choice but to stop and wait.

There was a red convertible parked next to him, and in the driver’s side sat a brunette woman fixing her makeup in the mirror.

The woman was very pretty, wearing a short burgundy shirt and a voluptuous top that attracted a lot of attention.

Luke took off his helmet and waved, “Hi beautiful, excuse me.”

The brown-haired woman pursed her red lips, glanced at Luke and said faintly, “I already have a boyfriend.”

Luke smiled, “Okay, I just wanted to tell you that the tire is flat.”

The brunette put down her lipstick and looked down, the front tire was flat.

She looked at Luke again and squeezed out a smile, “Can you change it for me, sir? There’s a spare tire in the car.”

By now, traffic was clear ahead.

“I’m in a hurry, find your boyfriend to change it.”

Luke twisted the throttle and the motorcycle roared away ……
