In the morning, the family sat at the dining table to eat breakfast. The ingredients were all prepared in the refrigerator.

Marian observed Locke, Jet and Hannah, and saw that except Locke, Jet and Hannah looked a little depressed.

She asked with concern: “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Hannah was spreading peanut butter on bread and replied: “I don’t like the smell of the room…”

Jet took a sip of milk, shrugged and replied: “The mattress is too soft! I have some insomnia…”

He asked again: “So, we don’t need to go to school today?”

Hannah’s eyes lit up and looked at Marian expectantly.

Marian replied: “Yes, but I have contacted your teachers separately. They will send the content of today’s class to your email. After breakfast, you can go back to your room to study by yourself…”

Jet and Hannah looked at each other at the same time, smiled on their faces, and stretched out their hands to high-five.

“No problem…”

“But I may need to catch up on some sleep…”

Marianne glared at them helplessly, “I can’t keep an eye on you all the time, so you can arrange your own time reasonably, but you must promise that you will study today’s lessons by yourself…”

“I promise!”

“Me too!”

The two of them ate breakfast faster, and finished the bread, eggs, and bacon on the plate in two or three bites, and drank the milk in one gulp.

“I’m done, go back to the room first!”

“Me too!”

Locke watched his brother and sister return to the room. If it were before, he would feel guilty because he caused his family to be trapped here.

But with the change of his mentality, although he still felt guilty, he would not be as hypocritical as before.

From another perspective, things did not become very bad.

For example, it just gave Jet and Hannah the opportunity to skip class.

After the two little ones left, Marian said to Locke again: “You seemed to sleep well last night…”

Locke naturally did not have the situation of being unable to sleep in a strange place, he had slept in a pile of dead people.

Besides, he released it before going to bed, and the system had a great harvest, and his combat power doubled, so he slept very soundly and slept until dawn.

Locke rolled up a piece of bacon with a fork and put it into his mouth, and replied: “Maybe I was too nervous yesterday, so I slept very well…”

Marian nodded and said: “That’s good, your mental state is really good, and you don’t need to see a psychiatrist, uh…”

She saw that Locke’s mental state would not be affected by killing.

Locke glanced at Li Bo, who had been silent, and asked: “How about you? How did you sleep last night?”

He had already noticed that his father looked a little haggard, and he was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

Marian shrugged and replied, “I’m fine, your father has some insomnia…”

Li Bo put down his knife and fork, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Locke, have you ever thought about giving up the police career? Well, don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about the current situation of our family. But, as a father, I don’t want your job to be in danger…”

“I don’t want what happened yesterday to happen to you again. If that bullet really hit you, your mother and I will live in guilt for the rest of our lives…”

Mary Ann listened to Li Bo’s words and became a little hesitant. Obviously, they had discussed this topic privately.

She said, “Locke, although I also want you to give up, I can feel your love for the police profession, and I have also seen your growth after joining the LAPD, so I support any decision you make!”

Locke also put down his cutlery and said seriously, “Sorry, Dad, I promise that this will never happen again!”

Li Bo heard Locke’s answer and showed regret. He nodded and said, “Okay, I respect your decision and will not mention this topic again. However, I hope you will be safe in the future and don’t put yourself in this kind of danger. Remember what your mother said. If there is really a problem that cannot be solved, you can call your grandfather…”

Locke looked at Li Bo in surprise. He was clearly against this operation before, and he was very moved in his heart.

He nodded and said, “If necessary, I will…”

Li Bo smiled bitterly, “In fact, your mother almost slept with me last night, but I think I should ask you in person…”

Marianne shrugged and said frankly, “I analyzed it from a utilitarian perspective. This attack officially entered the sight of the LAPD’s top brass. Yesterday, you killed all the terrorists by yourself, safeguarded the dignity and reputation of the LAPD, and avenged the sacrificed police officers. You almost had a perfect start in the LAPD. Moreover, you saved Anna again yesterday. At this timeIf you quit, all the honors and connections you have gained in the LAPD will be gone, which is a pity. As for the risks of the police, you should know that there are 9,900 police officers in the Los Angeles Police Department and 700,000 police officers in the United States…”

Li Bo immediately complained: “Your mother is always so rational!”

Locke gave Marian a thumbs up and flattered her: “So, Mum is the leader of our family…”

He specifically said the word leader in Chinese.

Maryan immediately shook her head and said proudly: “Very good, this title has also been certified by Locke!”

Obviously, she had learned this word from Li Bo a long time ago.

Li Bo looked at Locke in a daze, and then couldn’t help but nodded: “Yes, that’s right, your mother is indeed the leader of our family! ”

He also spoke Chinese.

After Marian boasted, she said seriously: “I talked to Anna on the phone this morning. Since yesterday, LAPD and DHS (Department of Homeland Security) have begun to further arrest the remnants of the Copernicus Organization based on the intelligence of the FBI. It is expected that this arrest operation will last for two days, and our protection order will also end…”

The last arrest of the Copernicus Organization was mainly aimed at the management and some members who had violated the law, so there were a number of fish that slipped through the net.

For example, Carl Rip, according to previous intelligence, this guy had nothing to do with the Copernicus Organization.

Locke never doubted The LAPD’s ability to act, the attack on him and Anna Davis at the medal ceremony, and the casualties of nearly ten police officers later, were a huge blow to the morale of the LAPD.

If the LAPD cannot get this place back as soon as possible, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.

It can be predicted that this arrest operation will be completely different from the last time, and there will definitely be casualties this time.

Well, of course it’s the Copernicus organization.

Unfortunately, he can’t participate.

Locke said: “I need to go out later…”

He planned to take the initiative to go to the rooftop of the building where the sniper was yesterday. He might not be able to find things that the Detective Bureau and the FBI couldn’t find, and he also wanted to meet that colleague.

Marian frowned, “Why are you going out at this time?”

Locke didn’t want to worry Marian and Li Bo, so he replied: “I’m going back to Wilshire to deal with some work. Don’t worry, everything will be fine. The remnants of the Copernicus organization have become stray dogs. The leader Johnny Dyson is dead, and other senior officials have been arrested and imprisoned…”

Li Bo looked at Locke worriedly and warned: “No matter what, be careful!”

I don’t know if it was influenced by Locke’s speaking Chinese before, he spoke Chinese directly this time.

Locke was stunned for a moment and replied in Chinese: “I know, by the way, Dad, do you know a Chinese doctor in Chinatown?”

Li Bo didn’t care about being happy, and asked hurriedly: “What’s wrong, is it uncomfortable?”

Locke shook his head and said: “No, I just suddenly want to see acupuncture, I heard it’s amazing…”

Li Bo nodded and said: “Yes, I will call and ask which Chinese medicine clinic has an acupuncture master later…”

Hearing the father and son communicating in Chinese, Marian said dissatisfiedly: “Hey, are you so polite?”

Locke and Li Bo smiled at each other, and Locke said: “Marian, I suggest you learn Chinese too!”

Marian said speechlessly: “Do you think I haven’t learned it? Chinese is too difficult! It is definitely the most difficult language to learn in the world…”

Locke said seriously: “Sometimes, if it is not convenient to communicate in English, we can speak Chinese. This is the advantage of our family!”

In addition to Marian, Jet and Hannah can also speak some simple Chinese.

Maryan understood immediately and nodded: “OK, I will pick up Chinese again…”

Li Bo gave Locke a thumbs up and was very excited. It can be foreseen that there will be more and more opportunities to speak Chinese at home in the future. This is the Chinese family atmosphere he has always dreamed of.

When Locke left, he handed his Beretta 92F to Marian, “Although there are police protection outside, it is better to have a gun in your hand!”

Beretta 92F

Maryan did not take it, “Give it to your father, I have a Glock G45 in my bag…”

Glock G45
