Chapter 519

Early morning.

Ruidu Community, Luke’s house.

Luke woke up at nine o’clock in the morning.

Yesterday, the terrorist attack case was solved, the FBI held a celebration party, Luke also participated as a criminal investigation consultant, or one of the main characters of the party.

Luke in Los Angeles fame, belonging to the Los Angeles Police Department’s rising star, according to this development, the future of the Los Angeles Police Department is bound to have a place for him, and now, Luke to assist the Department of Counter-Terrorism to break the biochemical attack case, but also formally become the FBI Los Angeles Office of Criminal Investigation Adviser.

The road is getting wider and wider, there are a lot of people optimistic about his future, he party in the spotlight, frequent people looking for him to toast, resulting in a hangover last night.

Hard to bear.

After getting up and taking a shower, his head cleared up a bit.

[Dingdong …… Congratulations to the host, successfully solving the broken body case, rewarded 100 points.

The host assisted the FBI in detecting the biochemical terror attack case, rewarding 300 points.

The host protected the safety of his teammates in the biochemical terror attack case and gained the goodwill of his teammates, rewarding an unknown function card, may I ask whether to open the redemption privilege?]

Gaining four hundred points at once, together with the 50 points remaining in the system from before, Luke now had a total of 450 points, and immediately had a feeling that his ‘wealth’ had skyrocketed.

Luke opened the system and tapped on the unknown new card, 100 points were needed to open the exchange privilege: “Open.”

New card, interference card

Type, Function Card, can interfere with the electronic camera equipment around the user, making the camera function unable to operate. (Limited to ten minutes, can be restored at any time.)

Redeem points, 50.

This card is very practical, as Luke becomes more famous, he is also considered a public figure, he has to pay attention to his image at all times, this card can just be used to deal with sneak peeks.

Against sneak peeks, sometimes you can directly grab the equipment, but there are times when it is not convenient to use force, then on the card.

You will also encounter some disgusting guys in the case, you can also use some appropriate means too.

The only drawback is that it requires more redemption points, and it is also the highest of all the cards in the Sleuth System that require redemption points.

Luke redeemed 2 of them, consuming 100 points.

At this point, there were still 250 points left in the Sleuth System.

Luke had consumed quite a few cards in these two cases and still needed to replenish some.

First of all, two of the Bullet Dodge Cards had been used, and there were still two left. 60 points were needed to replenish the four reserve cards.

The Precision card used one, and there were three left, requiring 20 points to replenish them.

Detection card used two, one left, (not replenished after last use of one) need 60 points to replenish.

Shield cards used one, three left, needing 10 points to replenish.

After Luke replenished all the reserve cards, the system still had 100 points left.

This time, the points reward was not generous, but after redeeming it, there was not much left.

Luke had the day off.

After eating breakfast at the breakfast place near the community, he went to the Palisades neighborhood to see his new home.

It was already in April, and according to the agreement, Luke should have paid the third contracting fee for the construction of the house.

The Mercedes-Benz Big G that Luke was driving arrived at the Palisades neighborhood, and as soon as the car was parked in front of his house, Luke felt that something was wrong.

The car access to the house was blocked horizontally by a gray SUV.

Luke walked to the gray SUV, there was no one in the driver’s side of the car, the yard was surrounded by thick trees planted around the yard, from this angle could not see the situation inside, Luke walked straight into the yard, and vaguely heard a clamor.

There were quite a few people standing in the courtyard, divided into two groups, one group was the workers led by the Zhang brothers, although there were many people, but they were scattered.

The other group was four tattooed, ear-pierced men, who were also Asian, but not friendly in tone or attitude.

A man with a scar on his face cursed in an arrogant tone, “Damn it, I’m putting my word here today that if I don’t let you do it, you won’t be able to do it.

Anyone who dares to move let me see.”

Zhang’s brother, Zhang Jianguo, said, “Scar boss, let’s have a good conversation, are out to earn money, there is no need to push people to the brink of extinction.”

The scarred man grunted, “That’s a good point, our brothers are also here to make money, we can’t just let you guys make money and not let us make money.

As long as you guys honestly follow the rules, we make money together, if you break our way of wealth, you don’t want to have a good time either.”

“Spicy next door, what are you filming?” A little brother with a dirty braid snatched Zhang Jianmin’s cell phone and slammed it on the ground, he pointed at Zhang Jianmin and then at the other workers.

“Don’t give your face, whoever dares to take pictures with a cell phone again, will screw you all.”

“Damn it, I’ll fight you all.” Zhang Jianmin was infuriated, he was about to swing his fist to hit the scarred man, but he was deadlocked by his own brother, Zhang Jianguo, “Jianmin calm down, don’t do it, he has a gun.”

A few workers also stood behind the Zhang brothers, staring angrily at Scar’s gang, but seeing that Scar man’s gang all had guns in their waists, they could only hold their breath.

A dozen young and strong workers were actually intimidated by the four punks, Luke just saw this scene and wanted to laugh a little, this is America!

It is a society where individuals can buy guns, truly realizing the equality of human life.

However, thinking of this group of workers are Chinese, Luke felt relieved, the Chinese people are the world’s most kind, the most able to suffer the group, most of the Chinese dragged their families, not for their own consideration, but also for their families, as long as there is a bowl of rice, no one will take a gun.

The dirty braided man noticed Luke and pointed at him and screamed, “What are you laughing at kid? Stand out and take a couple steps so we can hear it too.”

At this time, the people around also noticed Luke, especially the Zhang brothers with a surprised look on their faces, vaguely expectant and a little apologetic.

Luke ignored the dirty braided man and asked Zhang Jianmin, the Zhang brothers’ brother, “What’s going on here?”

Zhang Jianmin, the Zhang brothers’ younger brother, said, “Mr. Li, this group of people are making trouble here, not letting us work, and beating people up.”

Luke pursued, “Why are they messing around here? Do you guys know them?”

Seeing Luke talking like no one else, the dirty braided man cursed, “Who the hell are you? What kind of big tail are you pretending to be?”

Luke replied, “I’m the owner of this house, you’re standing on my land now, I order you to get out of here.”

The dirty braided man laughed, “Hey! You damn well speak Chinese, you’re a string, aren’t you?”

“There was a bang.

Luke violently raised his right foot and violently kicked the dirty braided man’s stomach.

The dirty braid man directly flew out, ‘ah ……’

He let out a wail of pain, and his entire body curled up on the ground like a large shrimp.

This sudden scene made the dirty braided man’s accomplices stunned, they didn’t expect Luke to strike so quickly!

Seeing the dirty braid man being beaten up, Scar and the other two accomplices naturally wouldn’t stand idly by and immediately rushed over to beat up Luke.

“Spicy next door, you’re looking for death.”

“Fuck him to death!”

Luke did not panic in the slightest, inadvertently lifted his shirt to reveal the police badge, the scarred man’s gaze shrunk, as if electrocuted, the movements of his hands also stopped.

Luke, however, had no intention of stopping and punched him in the cheek, directly knocking him to the ground.

The other two minions also saw Luke’s badge and similarly shrunk.

Luke, however, was not polite with them, punching and kicking them directly.

In an instant, all four punks were lying on the ground, wailing.

Luke’s strength reached the level of professional boxing, and with his full strength, it was enough for them to drink a pot of water.

The dirty braid man did not see Luke’s badge, his heart still thought of fighting with Luke, but that kick just now really kicked him hard, his breath did not even gasp, his mouth cursed: “You fucking asshole, dead, I have to get you dead today.”

Luke walked over, to his head a sweeping leg: “bang” sound, directly to him to stun.

Scar man three people see a burst of heartbeat, but do not dare to fight back, scar man waist has a gun, but he did not dare to touch, and even deliberately forked his arm, as if the gun handle is hot in general.

Luke flashed his badge in his left hand and held the gun in his right hand, “LAPD, you are under arrest for storming into a private home without authorization and assaulting a police officer.”

The scarred man quickly explained, “Sir, this is a misunderstanding, we didn’t know this was your home.

We also didn’t think of fighting with you.

We will leave now.”

“Nonsense, you were just about to assault Officer Li, I saw it.” Zhang Jianmin pointed at Scar, his face flushed red and he looked a little excited.

Luke took a look at him, this bastard at least had some bloodlust.

As for these four punks, they dared to run to his house to cause trouble, how could it be so easy to leave.

Luke only had a pair of handcuffs on him, so he definitely couldn’t arrest four people.

Said to a few workers, use the rope to tie up a few of them, call the police.

Luke kept his eyes on the four people as he spoke, three to be exact, the dirty braided man had already been kicked unconscious by him.

The other three would bleed them out if they dared to touch a gun, Luke.

However, after seeing the police badge, those three people no longer had the courage to resist, typical of a bully, they were honestly tied up by the workers.

Soon, four patrol police cars rushed to the scene, and after briefly understanding the situation, they directly took the four punks away.

For such a small role, Luke are too lazy to pay attention to, of course, this matter is certainly not finished, Luke certainly want to find their boss to talk about.

This kind of small interlude can’t even be considered as a main course, Luke said to the Zhang brothers on the side, “It’s alright, get on with your work.”

Zhang revealed an apologetic look and hurriedly handed Luke a cigarette, “Mr. Li, I’ve caused you trouble.”

Luke took the cigarette and said without thinking, “Just get the job done.”

Zhang Jianguo was a bit lost, he thought Luke would take the initiative to ask about the origin of this group of people, even he had thought of a good speech, but Luke was as if nothing had happened, and simply no longer mentioned those four people.

There were some words that he in turn was not good enough to open his mouth again.

Luke turned around inside and outside the villa, the construction progress is faster than he imagined, the house has already realized the three passes, began to decorate the interior, with the weather of a mansion.

Luke was in a good mood, and said to the workers, “Everyone has worked hard, today’s lunch is my treat, everyone eat openly.”

“Thank you Mr. Li.”

“Thank you Mr. Li.” The workers saw the scene just now, they were both in awe and convinced of Luke, and now that Luke was treating them, they naturally pulled a favorable impression of him, and the work on their hands became more serious.

Zhang Jianguo revealed a pleasing look, “Captain Li, let you break the bank.”

“It should be, we all eat and drink, it’s only when it’s hot and bustling that we have the atmosphere to work.”

“Right Mr. Zhang, I came over today, besides looking at the construction progress, I also want to settle the project payment for April, you calculate it for me.”

“Okay.” Zhang invited Luke to a construction table.

“Mr. Li, according to the previous contractual agreement, the total contracting fee for the construction of the house is 1,420,000 US dollars, which is divided into four payments in total.

You made an initial deposit of $100,000, another $500,000 in mid-March, and, as agreed, another $500,000 by mid-April.

The final payment of $320,000 is due upon acceptance.”

Luke nodded, the amount was the same as he remembered.

Before building the villa, Luke only had one hundred thousand dollars in cash on hand, and that one hundred thousand dollars paid the deposit directly.

Since preparing to rebuild the villa, Luke had also been working hard to make money during this period of time, firstly, he was treasure hunting in Red Rock Canyon together with Walker, and captured a psychopathic killer who was wanted by the FBI, and gained an eighty thousand dollar bounty.

At the same time, he also obtained treasure within the canyon and put it up for auction at an auction house, which also auctioned off several hundred thousand dollars.

There was also eight hundred thousand dollars from an earlier trip to Hawaii with his family, where he was hired to return to Los Angeles to look into the kidnapping investigation.

All of this money was before taxes, and Luke’s father had roughly estimated it to be around a million dollars after taxes.

Another half million dollars was paid in mid-March.

The remaining half a million dollars covered exactly this payment.

It was like Luke had no money in his hand again, and the final payment for the construction still needed a new source of money.

There was still money to keep screwing around with!

“Captain Li.” Zhang greeted cautiously, interrupting Luke’s thoughts.

“Uh, go ahead.”

Zhang Jianguo took a deep breath and gathered enough courage, “I …… would like to ask you for a favor.”

Luke asked knowingly, “What is it?”

“It’s the matter of that group of people just now, they have been looking for our trouble more than once, I am really annoyed and afraid.

If it’s because of this matter that delayed the project of your villa, I feel even more guilty in my heart.”

Luke still did not take the initiative to ask, said lightly, “It’s fine, if someone rushes to my house to cause trouble again, you call me directly. I’ll handle it.”

Zhang Jianguo revealed a touch of bitter smile, secretly said, which ungrateful still dare to come to your house to look for trouble, how much is not enough to send to the police station ah.

But they don’t dare to find trouble with you, surely they won’t spare us.

Luke is not afraid, he is afraid.

If Luke doesn’t help, this matter is a big trouble for him.

“Captain Li, let me apologize to you first.

This matter today, it’s me who got you into trouble.

I had some conflicts with that group of people, and that’s why they found their way to the construction site to cause trouble.

I know that you are capable and have a big face, so I would like to ask you to help mediate.” Zhang put his posture very low, he could see that if he didn’t take the initiative to make it clear, the probability was that Luke wouldn’t pick up the slack, gritting his teeth.

“After this is accomplished, I will be grateful!”
