Luke threw the luggage into the trunk: "Sheila agreed?"
Elsa looked serious: "Is that Bobby... really that dangerous?"
Luke nodded. "Let me put it this way. The best choice for Sheila is actually to never meet him in this life. But this is obviously impossible, so it's best not to become enemies."
Elsa said helplessly: "But... this is hard to resolve, right? I read the information and I think Bobby is a little crazy."
Luke: "Try your best. If it doesn't work, then we can only send him to jail. I'm just making some efforts. It may be better or it may not work, but the worse situation should not happen."
Elsa could only nod silently.
The two arrived at the southern civilian area before eight o'clock, taking advantage of the fact that the morning rush hour had not yet arrived to avoid traffic jams.
Luke just operated a few times on his mobile phone and directed Elsa to drive to an address.
Soon, the two entered a remote dead end alley and found Bobby drunk and dead at the innermost part.
Elsa couldn't bear to look at the slovenly man.
This is a person who ruined his life because of an inexplicable obsession.
She couldn't understand what the point was.
Luke stepped forward, grabbed the man, and tied him up with plastic straps.
Suddenly, a squeaking sound was heard from the side. Elsa looked over and said, "Is this the chimpanzee?"
Luke nodded: "It's very smart and loyal." As he said that, he touched the little guy who was alert and protecting his master, but it flew a claw at him in return.
Of course Luke would not be attacked by it. He just smiled and took his hand back: "Looks like we have to wake this guy up first." Then he poured the bottle of water in his hand on it.
On a January morning, the cold water quickly woke the man lying on the ground.
He woke up in a daze and looked at the man and woman in front of him: "Who are you?"
Luke showed his police ID: "LAPD, West District Major Crimes Unit, Luke."
Bobby was startled for a moment, but then collapsed again: "Are you here to arrest me?"
Luke nodded and shook his head: "It depends on what you think."
Bobby was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Luke gestured to Elsa, who was standing next to him. She said, "What do you really think of Sheila? Do you know how much trouble and hurt you have caused her? Is this how you like a woman?"
Bobby was a little stunned: "You are..."
Elsa: "I'm Sheila's friend and a police officer, so I asked you these questions before arresting you. Can you answer me?"
Bobby was silent for a moment before he spoke: "I don't know either. But the moment I saw her, I became madly obsessed with her, and I couldn't control it."
Elsa: "You couldn't control her, so you used your ability to let this chimpanzee drug her? Go to her house to steal things? In the end, you even stole a diamond necklace worth 2.3 million US dollars? Did you treat her as a puppet to be controlled by you?"
Bobby was confused: "... I, I didn't mean that, I just... couldn't help it."
Elsa wanted to pull out her gun after hearing this.
She is a woman, and more importantly, an independent and strong woman.
Therefore, she particularly can't stand such bastard men who treat women as toys.
In anger, she kicked him on the back: "You bastard, what gives you the right to like someone? Does liking someone mean letting your own preferences hurt her? People like you should be sent to the electric chair6"
Luke finally stopped her, preventing her from getting so angry that she would shoot Bobby.
He looked at Bobby, who looked confused and panicked, and sighed, "Bobby, do you really like Sheila? Don't you think of her as your favorite comic book toy in elementary school, the cheerleader you secretly had a crush on in middle school, or the outstanding and dazzling female classmate in college?"
Bobby rolled his eyes and finally shook his head: "No, I really like her. I really like her."
Luke shook his head, "I've liked girls before, too. Although she wasn't a celebrity, she was a cheerleader at school, but I never drugged her, stole her underwear, cell phone, photos, or diamond necklace. Okay, she didn't have a diamond necklace, but she liked me, and you're a complete stranger to Sheila. Who do you think would accept your liking for her?"
Bobby was stunned for a moment: "But... I like her."
Luke shook his head. "You like her, and that's your freedom. But you used improper means to get into her life, snooped into her privacy and stole her property. That's not an excuse you can use to justify your love for her."
Bobby was speechless.
Luke said, "If you really like her, can't you work hard on your own? Don't you have the ability?"
Bobby was confused: "Effort?"
Luke: "Yeah, why do you like Sheila? Is it because she's beautiful or sings well?"
Bobby: “I like them all.”
Luke: "Would you like a woman who lives on the street, is filthy and has an ugly face? Well, look here, for example, a woman like this." He held a small mirror in his hand and looked at Bobby's own face.
Bobby: "Ugh!" He doesn't want to fall in love with such a woman.
Luke: "Right, you can't even stand it yourself, so why do you ask Sheila to accept your love?"
As he said this, he winked at Elsa: "Elsa, as Sheila's friend, who do you think is more in line with Sheila's aesthetic standards, me or Bobby?"
Elsa said without hesitation, "Of course it's you."
Luke smiled and turned his head: "Do you understand? What's the use of just liking someone? You have to work hard first. I just graduated from high school half a year ago. Now I'm a detective in the Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division. Are you worse than a kid like me who graduated from high school and has no skills?"
Bobby: "Huh? Is that so? Then what should I do?"
Luke took out his phone, swiped it quickly a few times, and put the screen in front of him: "Do you see this person? Do you think he has a high chance of success if he pursues Sheila?"
Bobby nodded as he looked at him: Isn't this Larry Page, the Silicon Valley tycoon? It's hard to imagine that the chances of success are low.
Luke swiped the screen again: "What about this person?"
Bobby shook his head as soon as he saw him: "Impossible." This was a young man with disheveled hair and a dirty face, riding a bicycle.
Luke chuckled: "No, this person is Larry Page. This was when he started his business, when he was so poor that he could only eat bread to survive. So, he is still the same person, why is his success rate different? Because of hard work, because of the change in status brought about by hard work. He went from being an unknown passerby to a billionaire. Therefore, he may succeed in pursuing any woman. Well, at least much more successful than you."
Bobby was speechless. As a woman, of course she would choose a billionaire instead of a homeless person.
Luke moved closer to him, squatted down and lowered his voice: "Actually, you are a very capable person, but you use your abilities in the wrong place. Do you understand?"
Bobby was surprised: "Huh?"
Luke patted his shoulder and said, "How about this? I'll give you a chance to stand in front of Silla and say I want to pursue you. Do you accept it?"
Bobby hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay. What do you need me to do?"
Luke chuckled, took out a knife and cut the plastic strapping on his hand: "Let's go, I see a small hotel one street away."
Bobby looked at him in horror: "What do you want to do?"
Luke: "Go take a shower, shave, and change into clothes that at least don't smell bad. Otherwise, do you want to apologize to Sheila like this?"
Bobby: “Huh?”
Luke: "Hurry up, we are short on time."
Bobby was full of questions as Luke dragged him to a small hotel a street away. He paid fifty dollars to get a room and take a shower, and then spent another hundred dollars to buy a set of clean old clothes, shoes and socks from the hotel owner.
Thirty minutes later, Bobby walked out of the room feeling refreshed.
Elsa looked at it and couldn't help but shake her head: This person obviously has a good foundation, why would he ruin himself into such a state
As for Bobby's current set of clean old clothes, his appearance would be at least six points. If he tidied up a little, he would be at least seven points, which would be a little higher than Luke's appearance.
This guy used to make 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars a year. She really couldn't understand why this guy couldn't just live a normal life but made himself live like a ghost.
As soon as Bobby came out, Luke urged him to get in the car, and the three of them rushed to Beverly Hills like the wind.
Bobby was very nervous: "Um... What should I do when I see her?"
Luke was sitting in the back seat with him. He glanced at him and said, "Return the diamond necklace to her personally. Bow, apologize sincerely, ask her to forgive you for all the stupid things you did, and promise not to harass her again in the future."
Bobby: "Huh? I can't see her anymore?"
Luke put his hand on his forehead. "Are you cool? Are meeting and harassment the same thing? If you were to meet and greet her formally in public, would she be frightened into mental breakdown by you?"
Bobby: “Uh, I see.”
Luke: "You don't understand. I want you to promise yourself that you will never appear in front of her unless you have achieved something that matches her."
Bobby: “…Can you change the terms?”
Luke: "Then I don't care. If she sues you directly, the $2.3 million diamond necklace, plus the drugs used, will cause her mental breakdown. If you find a female judge, you will probably be sentenced to fifteen to twenty years. By then, when you get out of prison, you will be almost fifty years old and basically disabled, if you can still get out of prison alive."
Bobby: "Okay, I agree to this condition."
Elsa was satisfied: He is worthy of being my student, he has learned the methods of beating and coaxing, using both hard and soft tactics well, which are essential skills for dealing with suspects.
She was thinking in her mind, but her car was driving very fast, as they both had to catch a flight at noon.
After Luke's verbal attack, plus the time he spent helping Bobby tidy up his personal appearance, it was already half past nine, which was barely enough time.
Everyone met at Sheila's back door.
Looking at Sheila standing in front of the door with a nervous and fearful look, as if ready to run away at any time, Bobby, who had been tormented by Luke's sharp tongue and chicken soup, finally felt a little regretful.
If no one had reminded him of his previous condition, he might have continued in that state until he broke through the final bottom line. That was very likely.
Now Luke gave him a kick halfway, causing him to suddenly stop running towards the cliff and finally see the road of no return ahead.
Luke didn't want to mention the apology process.
To be honest, this is a necessary scene.
Without this, how can we prove that Sheila is willing to give up suing Bobby
More importantly, if Sheila said it herself, would this paranoid guy Bobby be honest
Half an hour later, the three of them set off again, leaving Sheila standing silently at the door for a moment, and finally felt relieved: "I hope that little guy can really help me solve this big (river crab) problem."
After communicating with Elsa last night, Sheila still trusts Luke's judgment.
The reason is simple.
It would be too easy for someone who could manipulate animals to drug them and even open safes to kill or torture someone, at least Sheila would have no way of guarding against it.
Chimpanzees can defend themselves, but what about poisonous snakes? Spiders? Even smaller ants? She can't live in a sealed environment all her life.
Send Bobby to jail for decades
That's impossible.
With Bobby's abilities, he will be able to escape from prison sooner or later if he wants to.
At that time, the law will have no threat to him, he will let go of all constraints and do whatever he wants.
Luke knew better than anyone that Bobby was more dangerous than the average criminal.
Because Bobby's ability is not to manipulate animals, it is just a way of applying his telepathic communication ability.
Once he found the correct way to use it, for example, on humans.
Then he just needs to train this ability to be as convenient as controlling animals, and he will become an extremely terrifying existence.
The three of them drove back to the city, and Luke Bobby took them to the apartment he had rented before.
All the things here have been moved out a long time ago, but we haven't had time to cancel the lease yet, so it's just right for Bobby to use.
Luke took out a document: "Sign it for me."
Bobby hesitated, then quickly signed it and tried to hand it to Luke.
Luke didn't answer. "Take it and read it slowly. I'm going on a business trip for ten days. I want you to start working after I come back. Oh, by the way, you probably don't have any money. This is your advance salary for this month, spend it sparingly. Study the information attached to the document carefully, as it will be your focus in the future. Don't be lazy. Now I'm leaving. Go get a cell phone and call me when you have time."
After saying that, Luke got in the car and drove away.
Bobby was at a loss: "Huh?" You're leaving now? What about those passionate words you said earlier
After a moment, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and walked into the apartment a little dejected.
Looking at the apartment, he felt a little better.
Luke and his wife had moved out of the apartment with their personal belongings, but the basic appliances were still there, so at least they could live a normal life there. It was much better than the places he had lived in before.
He counted the money Luke threw to him again, and it was actually eight thousand dollars.
This is not a small amount.
He still remembered that Luke said "this is a month's salary in advance", which means that his annual salary... is close to 100,000
What the hell is this job? The point is that Luke, the policeman, doesn't even make $100,000 a year, right
With this suspicion, he finally picked up the signed document and found it was an employment agreement.
He was hired as the Public Relations Manager of Cosmic Cube Technology Development Co., Ltd.
Bobby was speechless: he was best at dealing with animals, not people. What was the point of this appointment
Looking at the subsequent employment conditions, we find that as long as he achieves the performance target, he can be directly rewarded with 1% of the company's equity, rather than the stock options in most contracts.
Simply put, options require money to be purchased, but Bobby's contract directly benefits him.
Of course, how much these shares are worth is still unknown.
Bobby became more interested and thought that he might be able to become a small shareholder, which was much more promising than just working as a worker.
When he turned to the document behind the employment contract, he saw a very serious photo.
He was stunned for a moment before he remembered, "Isn't this Larry Page? This photo... is the one I just saw on my phone?"
Well, this is the picture of Larry Page as he is now a big shot, not the young, poor version.
He looked at the requirements after the information again and took a deep breath.
Because, Luke's additional explanation later is this: Please be prepared to haggle with these big guys, study their personalities and styles of doing things, and find their bottom line in the upcoming negotiations to gain the greatest benefit.
Bobby was stunned: I'm just an animal trainer, my specialty is communicating with animals, and you want me to negotiate with such a big shot? And you didn't even tell me what we were talking about? You're not here to tease me, are you
But when he looked at the eight thousand dollars in cash on the table, he knew that this was no joke.
At least a small policeman like Luke wouldn't joke with someone like him about eight thousand dollars.
He stood there for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and really started working hard.
He needed to keep himself busy, otherwise what if he wanted to harass Sheila again!
