The cause of this incident was very simple, it was just that Luke and the other person's living habits were different from those of ordinary people.
Moreover, in order to avoid being observed by strangers and to prevent his house from being directly exposed to the shooting range of the gunman, Luke built a 1.8-meter-high wall around the yard and placed hidden cameras on the decorative sculptures on the wall.
In this way, the gunman cannot fire at the house directly from the roadside, and once he stays around the yard at will, he will be spotted by the surveillance set up by Luke.
This approach is in line with his and Selena's professions.
But Ms. Karen, who was bored with life, told her husband Jeff that she suspected Luke built the wall to cover up his mistake.
Maybe the two are criminals doing illegal activities, like Breaking Bad or something.
Even if it's not as exaggerated as in the TV series, Luke and his friends may be growing some weeds in their basement to generate income.
Luke discovered through surveillance that Ms. Karen had been hanging around his home for a while, so he monitored her back.
It was too easy for the long-distance radio equipment to deal with such a couple who had no professional knowledge, and Luke easily found out about Ms. Karen's strange train of thought.
Feeling helpless and amused, he still invited Jeff and Karen, a couple, to have a Barbie party in the backyard.
After telling the suspicious Ms. Karen that Selena and he were cousins, the meticulous interior designer finally gave up his doubts about the placement of daily necessities in the house.
As a woman who has been married for many years and a professional interior designer, Ms. Karen knows very well how the belongings of boyfriends and girlfriends or couples are placed.
Luke and Selina's personal belongings were not mixed together, which almost aroused her suspicion again.
When talking about work, Luke even pulled Jeff aside and said, "Selena and I's work is quite sensitive. You know, once some people know about it, they will spread it throughout the community, which will cause great trouble to us."
Jeff couldn't help but look at his wife Karen.
Luke laughed. “No, Karen isn’t keen on spreading this kind of talk, but can she keep it a secret from Meg?”
Jeff shook his head decisively.
Meg is a gossipy woman who wants to know all kinds of strange news, and Karen can't handle it.
Luke patted Jeff on the shoulder and said, "I have never participated in community activities because of people like Meg. I hate women who stir up trouble out of nothing. As her neighbor across the street, I think you can understand this better."
Jeff looked conflicted, but still nodded in agreement.
With his good-natured temper, he sometimes wanted to slap Meg a few times.
After this incident, Jeff went back to talk to his wife Karen, and the housewife stopped being suspicious of Luke and his partner.
Having seen the luxurious temperature-controlled massage bathtub in the backyard with her own eyes, Karen, who is considered an insider in interior decoration, certainly understood why Luke built the wall.
When using this kind of good stuff in your own backyard, most people would choose to relax naked.
Building a wall around the yard was a reasonable choice. Otherwise, if a gossipy woman like Meg saw it, she would definitely stand there and point fingers, then turn around and go back and talk nonsense.
Selina sighed, "In any case, it's best if Meg and her husband get out. Meg's husband Danny is not a good guy either. He thinks he's cool and flirts with women whenever he sees them. As an ordinary married man with a greasy middle age and balding hair, where does he get the courage to do that?"
Luke snorted, "You know, if you don't move, you'll just stay where you are forever. Only if you work hard will you have a chance to cheat. With his looks, can he still expect beautiful women to throw themselves into his arms?"
Selina glanced at someone beside her: "Yeah, if you look handsome, there will always be people throwing themselves at you."
Luke noticed her look and nodded calmly: "I rely on my strength, understand? However, being handsome is also one of my advantages, a fact that is even more difficult for me to deny."
Selena: Mouth!
The two chatted all the way home.
In the afternoon, the two still trained according to the schedule.
After completing Selina's combat training, Luke came out of the shower and looked towards Jeff and his new neighbor's residence a few hundred meters away with an inexplicable expression.
Selina, who came out of the bathroom a little later, looked at him standing there and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to part with that girl with long legs in a white dress? She has a husband, so you can give up now."
Luke said helplessly: "Use your professional knowledge to recall the performance of the two new neighbors, okay?"
Selina frowned and thought for a moment: "It's just that pair of long legs that are more noticeable, right? Maybe she likes sports more, and the muscle lines in her legs must have been maintained through long-term and professional training. However, she is far worse than me."
Luke laughed, "Yes, but this level of muscle is enough to complete most combat and tactical movements, isn't it?"
Selina's eyes widened: "You mean, these two are professionals?"
The so-called professionals, of course, are people like Luke and his gang. Police, soldiers, and detectives are one type, and security mercenaries and killers are another.
Luke nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Jeff's house and see what they know about the new neighbor."
Jeff is a nice guy and a professional in the human resources department of a large company. Together with his suspicious wife Karen, they are the people who know the most about the dynamics of each family in the community.
The other couple is the miserable couple Meg and Danny.
Selina nodded and immediately reminded: "This is our first visit, we should bring some gifts, right?"
Luke: "Please give me some of your dessert. I'll go get the box."
Selina was confused: "Can't you give me a craft or something? Those gun models you made should be fine, right?"
"Jeff's twin daughters are in middle school. Do you think it's appropriate to give them gun models?" Luke rolled his eyes.
Moreover, the so-called models were all made by Tony Stark’s ability. They were prototypes made for the purpose of formalizing the models and could not be given away at all.
"Okay, I'll give you a big meal at night, okay?" Luke said.
"Deal." Selina immediately changed her attitude.
Luke groaned, feeling as if he had just lost to a foodie.
Ten minutes later, the two rang Jeff's doorbell.
After a while, Karen's slightly chattering voice rang out: "Ah, you guys take a seat first. We usually have a lot of neighbors here, so don't be restrained... Ah, you guys?"
Looking at Karen who seemed to be in a daze with her mouth wide open, Luke smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Karen. I haven't chatted with Jeff for a long time. I hope it won't disturb your time together."
