Dustin couldn't help but yell, "Damn it, couldn't you guys come back a few minutes earlier? I'm almost done eating."

Elsa didn't care. She and Dustin were too close. "Then I'll take it back and have it as dinner. This is a specialty of a Michelin restaurant."

Dustin: "Well, I think I can eat another cow. By the way, why is Luke treating?"

Elsa: "I heard that one of his uncles came to see him and he was very happy."

Dustin nodded: "Oh, you can go now."

Elsa left decisively.

Dustin waited until Elsa left before looking relieved: "Well, it's better not to say it's because of a personal reward."

Suddenly, Elsa came back again: "Boss, any new cases... Um, any personal rewards?"

Dustin's face straightened. "Oh, I mean, in the last case, that old man Aoki donated a large sum of money to us privately, specifically for improving transportation and communication systems, so Luke may get a new car. You don't have any opinion on that, do you?"

Elsa said, "He deserves it. It's good that he has a car, so he doesn't have to use my car every day. I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a driver."

Dustin: “…What new case did you mention?”

Elsa: "I don't have any important cases on hand, so, boss, do you have any new cases?"

Dustin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he found a file on the table: "Take Luke to check this case tomorrow."

Elsa stared for a moment, then raised her head with a suspicious look: "Boss, this case... let us go?"

Dustin thought about it and signaled to Elsa, who immediately went over to close and lock the door.

The blinds were left open, of course, they simply blocked out the conversation.

Dustin groaned for a moment before saying, "To be honest, this case is just to let you and Luke out for a while. You may not know that the case at the Zhongfu Building was a bit of a big deal."

Elsa was puzzled: "But... haven't they arrested all the people?"

Dustin shook his head. "The key is that the FBI wants to take them all over in the name of Hans's empty fabric activities. This is reasonable. No one knows how many bad things Hans and his gang have done. If they can interrogate other connections, they will have a lot of credit. At that time, the FBI can offset the mistakes made in the Zhongfu Building this time, and even make a great contribution."

Elsa understood this, but was still curious: "What does that have to do with Luke?"

Dustin smiled bitterly, and even in the closed office door, he couldn't help but lower his voice: "The boss has connections in the FBI. I heard vaguely that they are ready to recruit Luckett."

Elsa opened her mouth and said, "What?! How the hell is this possible?"

Luke's identity as a detective was obtained by Tony Stark through the back door, but the requirements for FBI agents are much higher.

There are many requirements for federal agents. At least they must have a clean background, no criminal record, a college degree, various specialties, and several years of experience in the police system. Only outstanding performance can allow them to join.

Of course, there are also special recruits in the FBI. For example, it was easy for Luke's uncle Old G to get in because he is a technical expert.

Can the FBI recruit someone directly? Or Luke, a half-baked policeman who has only been a police officer for half a year

Elsa thought that was unlikely.

Dustin's face was very serious. "No, it is said that a few months ago, during a joint operation with the FBI, Luke was spotted by a certain FBI team leader. He went back and wrote a report, and included him in the list of potential members to watch."

Elsa was speechless.

Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising that the FBI is poaching people. They are just using this as an excuse to poach people and take away the credit.

Once Luke is dug out, most of the subsequent credit for this case will be "rightfully" attributed to the FBI, because it was a case solved by "their" agents.

Although, everyone privately knew that the FBI had cut in, as long as Luke became their "agent", they could write it like this in the report and take it to their superiors to show off.

Elsa couldn't help but curse: "Shh! These guys are really good at playing tricks."

Dustin smiled bitterly: "So, you take him out, just as a trip?"

Seeing Elsa's tangled expression, Dustin continued to add: "Don't worry about delaying your work. This matter will be good for you."

Elsa was stunned: "You mean..."

Dustin: "I didn't say anything. This is just a simple vacation. If you have a boyfriend, you can ask him to pay for it and accompany you to France for a ten-day romantic trip. How about it?"

Elsa gritted her teeth and said, "Where can I get a boyfriend? I just want to ask if the bureau has any extra travel allowances."

Dustin was annoyed: "How about the bureau give you twenty dollars a day?"

Elsa: "...Okay, don't call me when you get there. I don't have enough money for international long-distance calls."

Dustin was unfazed: "I really can't give you more. You can only reimburse other expenses."

Elsa: "Okay, then I'll just take this as a vacation."

Dustin nodded: "OK."

He secretly thought: If I don't call you, I'll call Luke. That guy is richer than you. I don't know how much reward that old man Qingmu gave him.

Dustin's statement made Elsa decide that she and Luke must have fun separately on this business trip.

Elsa thought that it would be a good idea to go to France to find an exotic romance for a few days.

Only a psychopath would bring his boyfriend from Los Angeles! That's not how you spend money.

So, when Luke came out, he received the news that he would take a flight to France on a business trip at noon tomorrow.

Luke had only one reaction to this notice: Did you take the wrong medicine

Since he was going to travel to France tomorrow, he of course skipped work and went home immediately to pack all his luggage before dark in the afternoon.

Before dark, Luke took a taxi back to the civilian area he had visited in the morning and soon found a dilapidated apartment building.

Luke was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and was completely black, even his face was covered with a mask.

He quickly went up to the highest rooftop, which was the fifth floor, and quietly moved towards a shack-like place.

But a squeaking scream broke the silence on the roof.

Luke quickened his pace and approached the shack. He picked up a wooden stick and swung it open.

Inside, a confused and extremely slovenly homeless man stared at him blankly.

Luke chuckled and said, "Let me make a bet. I bet you can't beat me."

As he said that, boom!

He hit the other man on the head with a stick, and the homeless man immediately fell unconscious.

Luke looked at the prompt in the system and shook his head helplessly: "It's not enough."

He used a bottle of water nearby and sprinkled some on the man's face to wake him up.

And then... Boom!

The man woke up and fainted again.
