A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Chapter 108 Rachel’s Ambition (Second update, please subscribe!!)
Luke sat on a high stool at the bar, listening to Rachel, who was wearing an apron and chatting and gossiping like all the other women, talking endlessly about Hillcrest. Information about neighbors on the block.

There are a total of 32 households in their neighborhood.

Rachel already understood almost everything.

Even the male owners of these households knew clearly what level they were in the Los Angeles judicial system.

For example, the Haas couple live on the left side of the street. Mr. Haas is a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Another example is the Laurent couple who live diagonally across from the Haas couple. Although Mr. Laurent is now a senior partner of a lobbying group in Los Angeles, before that, Mr. Laurent worked for the Los Angeles County District Attorney for more than 15 years. Here comes a [-]-year veteran prosecutor.

Another example is the couple who live diagonally across from Lu Ke's house, the couple who just said that their husband is the supervisor of the Juvenile Crime Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Rachel, who has a very good memory, almost without pausing, gave Luke the attributes of the neighbors in this block, and then looked at Luke with a look of amazement: "Compared with the apartment I live in, the neighbors in this block, It’s just high quality.”

Rachel even had a feeling.

Suppose that a neighbor who lives in this block commits a crime, and he can get away with it in the shortest possible time through the neighbor who lives here.

think carefully.

Area Crime, this neighborhood has a Los Angeles Police Department Superintendent.

For federal crimes, Luke is the deputy director of operations for the Los Angeles FBI.

The courthouse, Mr. Haas on the street, is the judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Even the District Attorney has a veteran prosecutor, Mr. Lauren, who has served in the District Prosecutor's Office for more than 15 years.

This neighborhood can basically become a small judicial circle.

Luke held his chin with one hand and looked at Rachel with a look of amazement on her face without blinking. He also asked with slight amazement: "This information is all from you when you were mowing the lawn during the day." Did you get it while chatting with Mrs. Grant?"

Rachel came to her senses and nodded.

"correct."

"Wow."

Luke put on an exaggerated expression and said with a smile: "Rachel, I feel that you should not be the host, you should come to the FBI. I have lived here for almost half a month, and I heard you say this, I just learned the names of my neighbors.”

Rachel looked at Luke mysteriously: "Let me tell you quietly, I want to work hard to promote myself on the political channel, so collecting information about you federal civil servants is my strength."

Luke smiled: "I can see it."

Ever since he was with Rachel, he had seen ambition in Rachel's eyes.

This is good.

Because an ambitious woman is more energetic than a woman without ambition, and can also make the lives of two people more passionate.

but……

Every circle has its own chain of contempt.

Although Rachel is not at the bottom of the anchor circle, it is not easy to step from a morning news anchor to a federal content anchor.

Among them, connections, resources and your own popularity are indispensable.

However, Rachel and Luke were together, and in the eyes of almost half of the people on the West Coast, after performing the "Heroes Save the Beauties Sequel" and the "Heroes and Beauties Love March", it can be said that on the entire West Coast, Rachel Weller The name Leith is already a household name.

What's left is connections and resources.

Any of the top federal hosts have either this federal official or that federal official on their phone.

The hosts in Washington are even more powerful. On their mobile phones, they are either from the Pentagon or a member of the House of Lords or House of Representatives.

This is why, in many cases, some powerful media can know what will happen before the White House announces it.

at this time.

Ding!
When Rachel heard the sound of the oven, her eyes lit up. She turned around and walked to the oven. Then, she put on her gloves and took out the brownie cake that had been baked in the oven, and then brought it to the bar with an excited look.

"Look, how it went!" Rachel was very satisfied with the brownie cake that was finally successful after making it three times this afternoon, and quickly looked at Luke.

After all, Luke is a gourmet expert.

During these days, Rachel was shocked by Luke's cooking skills.

Luke looked at Rachel, who showed a little nervousness and looking forward to his comments in her excited face. He thought of the paste smell he smelled at the door when he first came back. He took a sip, then nodded and looked. Go to Rachel: "Not bad."

Rachel blinked: "Is it just good?"

Luke shrugged and said, "If it were me, I would add more cocoa powder and dark chocolate..."

Rachel stretched out her hand to interrupt: "Okay, stop talking, I understand what you mean."

Luke stopped speaking and looked at the expression on Rachel's face: "You asked me to say it."

Why would I ask a cooking master to comment on my cooking skills?

Rachel thought to herself, and then glanced at Luke with some complaints.

It's all your fault.

Luke looked at Rachel's eyes that were looking at her like a little woman, laughed, and then changed the subject: "Are you free this Friday night?"

Rachel, who was a little frustrated, took out her table knife and cut the brownie cake in front of her. She thought for a moment: "This Friday, NO.30?"

Luke nodded.

"Correct."

"It should be fine, what's wrong?"

"Accompany me to a cocktail party."

"Drinking party!"

Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Luke: "What kind of reception is this?"

Luke said: "Private, with a female companion. Director Lewis will go back to Sacramento early next month. Before leaving, he plans to invite friends from Los Angeles, such as the mayor, director, and city councillors. State legislator or something.”

Rachel was a little surprised when she heard the top positions in Los Angeles coming out of Luke's mouth one after another: "Can I go?"

Luke smiled slightly.In a sense.

Because he and Lucy Chen had never had a confirmed relationship, Rachel was his first official girlfriend in this world.

Although Rachel is with him partly because she hopes to be bound to him so as to share Luke's reputation bonus.

But wasn't it also because Luke was coveting Rachel's body?

So a negative makes a positive.

The two were even.

And during this time together, Rachel also perfectly met the definition of a girlfriend.

Since Rachel came to this house, Luke has almost never cleaned it. The house cannot be said to be spotless, but it can also be said to be very tidy.

There is also a brownie cake that looks like it must have been made three times before it was made.

and so……

Luke looked at Rachel, who was looking at him unblinkingly, and said with a smile: "You are my girlfriend, you should have the right to share my life, right?"

Rachel's eyes flickered and she looked at Luke without blinking.

Luke had no doubt that if there was a bar between them right now, Rachel would have swooped over and pushed him onto the carpet.

In fact, Rachel did the same thing.

But the ringing of the phone interrupted Rachel's movements.

Rachel stopped and looked at Luke who took out the phone from his arms.

Luke glanced at the phone, said "from the bureau" to Rachel, then got up from the high stool and walked towards the backyard of the house.

Rachel looked at Luke's back with her beautiful eyes, returned to behind the bar, and continued to cut the freshly baked brownies happily.

backyard.

After Lu closed the glass door, he answered the phone.

"Vince!"

"Hey, aren't you at home?"

"...Are you at No. 1327?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"...I didn't tell you, did I move?"

"Have it?"

"do not have it?"

"Have……"

Vince blinked and was suddenly stunned: "Shet, you seemed to have said you were moving to Baldwin Village. I forgot."

Luke shook his head speechlessly.

"What's wrong."

"You want it, there's news."

Vince grabbed the document bag in his hand, turned around and walked towards the vehicle behind him: "I'll send it to you now. By the way, what's the address of your new home?"

Luke took a deep breath.

"Hillcrest Block, 1515."

"right away."

"Slow down."

"Do not worry."

15 minute later.

Standing in front of his home, Luke saw Vince driving into the block from the left and flashing his headlights.

Vince drove to a stop beside Luke.

Luke opened the passenger seat and got in, taking the document bag handed over by Vince.

turn on.

Inside are several files and a CD.

Vince said: "The files inside are all about the members of the Dann family and the people who have been close to them these days. There are photos in the CD. In fact, this family doesn't have much contact. When friends come, they are basically neighbors from that community.”

Luke nodded, reorganized the document bag, and looked at Vince: "These people didn't notice that you were secretly filming, and no one was following you."

Vince shook his head. He was very confident about this: "Don't worry, they definitely didn't find me, and I didn't find anyone following me. I still have this confidence."

"That's good." Luke nodded.

Vince looked at Luke who was about to get out of the car and whispered: "Luke."

Luke turned around and looked at Vince who stopped him.

Vince looked around, lowered his voice, and whispered: "How about I do it? After all, your current identity is not easy to get, keep you, even if something happens to me, you can let me live in prison." Moisturize it."

Luke was a little moved when he heard this.

at the same time……

Luke laughed out loud and opened the car door directly: "Go back to bed early. Good night, Vince, thank you for your hard work."

Vince: "..."
