"I'm Luke."

"Boss, aren't you here yet?"

"What's wrong."

"The press conference will begin soon."

"Come here now."

Luke said something to Debbie on the phone, then hung up the phone and looked at Vince: "When you are following me, pay attention to see if anyone is following you."

Vince was slightly startled.

Luke's expression was serious, not as if he was joking.

Vince understood.

nod.

"okay, I get it."

"Thank you."

Luke didn't say any polite words about remuneration after the work was accomplished. He stood up, simply said thank you to Vince, and then walked towards the vehicle at the door.

Vince is a brother.

After half an hour.

1100 Wilshire Blvd.

After Luke parked the vehicle in the underground garage, he took the elevator, went up to the first floor, and came to the FBI External Press Liaison Office.

into the eye.

The detectives who were going back and forth were already busy preparing for the press conference to be held at [-] o'clock in the morning.

Luke walked into the lounge behind the press conference and walked towards Earl, Jack and Debbie who were standing with a tall blonde not far away.

The tall blonde beauty is called Fiona.

She is the press liaison for the FBI's Los Angeles Bureau, responsible for helping and maintaining relations between the FBI and major media on the West Coast.

Before Fiona joined the FBI, she was a well-known media reporter and was extremely popular.

The last time the news about the Los Angeles bureau's action team being almost wiped out because of Bill Kims' insistence on going his own way, it was Fiona's connections and phone calls to the influential media outlets one after another that prevented the West Coast media from making a fuss. reported this matter.

"Deputy Director Lu."

"Just call me Luke. You don't mind if I call you Fiona."

"of course."

Fiona smiled slightly: "Luke, you seem to be late today."

Luke smiled and explained: "If I said that I was a little nervous and had insomnia when I knew I was going to be on stage today, would you believe it, Fiona?"

Fiona shook her head with a smile.

"Do not believe."

"Well, the new home is a bit far from the office. You know how bad the traffic in Los Angeles is at nine o'clock in the morning."

"I believe it."

Fiona nodded with a serious expression: "I still remember that last month I needed to go to Washington. The flight was at nine o'clock in the evening. I left at six o'clock, but because of the bad traffic, I was delayed."

Appropriate jokes and similar complaints can quickly bring people closer to each other.

After Fiona joked about the traffic conditions in Los Angeles, she immediately looked at Luke: "I already talked to several media outlets last night. When you take the stage, Luke, they may ask you You need to be mentally prepared for some issues that have nothing to do with this case."

As she spoke, Fiona took out a piece of paper from the folder in her hand with some questions that the media might ask later and handed it to Luke: "Read it."

Luke took it and looked at the questions written on the paper.

The question above...

Luke looked at Fiona with a strange expression: "Our Los Angeles City is really an entertainment metropolis that entertains people to death."

A smile of approval formed on Fiona's lips: "Of course, when it comes to Los Angeles, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Hollywood."

Let's say that.

The issues on this paper cannot be said to be related to yesterday's Columbia Building case, or they can be said to have no connection at all.

Take a look at what the nine or so questions above are asking.

Someone asked Luke if it was true that he said it was love at first sight for Ms. Rachel Villeless yesterday.

Someone also asked about Luke's current emotional state.

He even asked whether Luke and Ms. Rachel Villeless would get together because of this case.

Even more exaggerated.

Luke was speechless.

"Do we need to give answers to these questions?"

"unnecessary."

Fiona smiled and said, "I just want you to be mentally prepared. I have already lost my temper with most of the media."

Luke nodded.

after awhile.

Fiona talked to Luke about the precautions to be taken at the press conference later, and then looked at the time on her watch.

It's ten fifty.

Outside the lounge, the noise of the media entering the room could be heard one after another.

Fiona smiled slightly.

"Okay, Luke, I'll go to the front first and say hello to the media friends who are entering."

"Okay." Luke watched Fiona turn around, and after leaving the lounge, he looked at Earl aside: "Where's the director, isn't he here yet?"

Earl pointed to a small room with a closed door on the right side of the lounge.

Luke looked in the direction of Earl's finger.

I happened to see Rebecca, who had changed into a red hip-hugging skirt and walked out of the room today.

Rebecca also saw Luke.

With a rosy face and a smile.

"Deputy Director Lu, the director is calling you."

"it is good."

Luke nodded, pushed the door open and walked into the small room. Ignoring the lingering aura of romance in the small room, he looked at Director Lewis who was standing at the small window with his hands behind his back and his back to him.

"Director." Luke called after closing the door.

Director Lewis turned around, looked at Luke standing at the door, and pointed to the sofa beside him: "Luke, come on, sit down."

Luke ignored the visible water stains on the sofa and said with a smile: "Director, I can just stand!"

Director Lewis was stunned for a moment, then looked at the water stains on the sofa, laughed, and changed the subject.

"How's it going? Do you like the house?"

"like very much!"

Luke said: "I have slept this morning, thank you, Director."

Director Lewis waved his hand: "No need to thank you. I said, I like capable people. As long as you can do things well for me, I will not treat you badly."

Luke's answer was concise and to the point.

"I'm willing to die for the director!"

"Ha ha!"

Director Lewis laughed again and handed a glass of the whiskey he had just poured to Luke. After passing it to Luke: "Okay, I like Deputy Director Lu's straightforward character, but the problems at home need to be solved this month. Solve it, otherwise, there will be trouble."

Luke took the wine glass and clinked it with the wine glass in Director Lewis' hand: "I understand, I will take care of it, thank you Director for your concern."

The two drank.

After Rebecca knocked on the door outside, she pushed the door in and looked at Director Lewis: "Director, the press conference has already begun."

Director Lewis nodded towards Rebecca, and then looked at Luke: "You are my subordinate, I am your director, and caring about you is what I, the director, should do."

Lu Ke looked serious: "Thank you, Director, for your trust."

Director Lewis said nothing more, patted Luke on the shoulder, and followed Rebecca who was standing at the door, and walked out together.

Luke put the finished wine glass on the desk and followed him out.

Soon.

Director Lewis also stepped onto the stage of the press conference after press liaison Fiona and the media who came to the stage briefed the reporters on the case related to the Columbia Building yesterday.

If yesterday was Luke's highlight moment, then today's press conference was actually specially prepared for Director Lewis.

The West Coast media, who have always cooperated with the FBI and maintained good relations with the FBI, also cooperated with Director Lewis's performance.

During the question and answer, Director Lewis's qualities as the California director of the FBI were perfectly demonstrated through the dialogue.

But it was Luke's turn to take the stage.

The style of painting goes directly from a very serious case report to a 180-degree turn towards entertainment to death.

"I'm Marlene, a reporter from Columbia Entertainment News."

After being pointed by Fiona, the blond female reporter stood up quickly and looked at Lu Ke, who was standing on the stage in a suit and leather shoes. Today is always more handsome than yesterday. After announcing his home, he immediately asked: "Deputy Director Lu, People all want to know, you said at the time that you fell in love with Rachel Villeless at first sight. Is this true? Or was it just to confuse the gangster at the time? "

Luke put his hands on the podium and replied with a smile: "I personally don't like telling lies, so yes, what I told at the time was the truth."

The blonde female reporter Ma Lin's eyes lit up.

But she had finished asking her questions.

but……

Next, a female reporter from the West Coast Daily helped Ma Lin ask follow-up questions.

"Deputy Director Lu, after you successfully rescued the hostages yesterday, people online are very interested in knowing whether there will be further development between you and Ms. Rachel Villeless."

"is it?"

"We have made statistics on the official website. As of 100 o'clock this morning, the number of people who are looking forward to seeing the follow-up development has exceeded [-] million."

"Wow!"

Luke on the stage exclaimed: "Are there so many?"

The female reporter from the West Coast Daily smiled: "So Deputy Director Lu, can you answer this question?"

Fiona on the side gave Luke a wink.

She said that if Luke didn't want to answer, he could change the subject, and she found another reporter to ask the question.

Luke looked at the female reporter from the West Coast Daily, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Emotional matters are not one-sided, but require two-way efforts, so I can't tell you the follow-up now, and now Rachel... Villeless is still receiving treatment in the hospital, but I can tell you that I am currently single and have a crush on Rachel Vellelis, thank you."

The female reporter's eyes lit up and she asked directly: "Deputy Director Lu, have you ever visited Ms. Rachel Villeless in the hospital?"

Luke smiled and said: "I promised Ms. Rachel Villeless that I would go there when she is discharged from the hospital."

The female reporter did not practice martial ethics, but she still wanted to speak.

Fiona on the side interrupted directly, and at the same time, she added the female reporter to her blacklist, and then pointed to another female reporter in the audience: "New York Daily News."

The female reporter stood up with a smile and looked at Luke on the stage: "Hello, Deputy Director Lu, some people now say that the superhero on the East Coast is Tony Iron Man Stark, and you are the superhero on the West Coast. This is What do you think about the matter?"

Luke: "..."
