Luke laughed and winked at him, "Boss, do you really think that no one in the team knows that you are a three-star Michelin hotel and you invited a beautiful lawyer to a candlelight dinner?"
Dustin opened his mouth, but he had no courage to refute. He could only grit his teeth and ask, "Who spread it?"
Luke looked at his expression and shook his head helplessly while putting barbecue into the box. "Boss, I'm sorry to tell you that this news came from the patrol police. No one knows who the exact initiator was."
Dustin looked at his expression and could only sigh: "Well, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
Obviously, Luke didn't want to tell his colleagues about such an insignificant matter.
Snitches are despised everywhere, especially in the police force.
After all, finding a girlfriend is human nature and has no effect on Dustin.
But when Dustin thought of that woman, his head started to hurt even more: If he was going to New York, would he ask her to give up her career in Los Angeles and go with him
But... why
Even a straight man like Dustin couldn't help but exude a melancholy aura.
Luke looked strange, and didn't try to bring bad luck again. He just said, "Boss, it's all done."
Dustin took the box from him and stepped forward: "Thank you. Um, what is this?"
He had been distracted by Luke's sudden topic and hadn't noticed what Luke was grilling.
Now, he finally smelled the aroma of food coming from the barbecue grill and couldn't help but ask.
Luke: "Chilean king crab, freshly caught this year."
Dustin: …
Silently, he once again lowered the possibility of Luke agreeing to go to New York by 10%.
With this calculation, he originally had a 50% chance of convincing Luke to go to New York, but now the probability is at most 20%.
When he got to the car, he took out a document from the car and handed it to Luke: "There isn't much going on recently, so take some time to deal with this."
Luke opened it slightly and took a look. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Police academy training? Boss, is this... appropriate?"
Dustin snorted. "Don't be too careless. Not everyone is so smart. Sooner or later, some brainless guy will be instigated to find fault. While there is nothing to do now, get this thing fixed as soon as possible. Anyway, it's just a roll call and a formality."
Luke thought about it and agreed.
He has no experience of police academy training, which is indeed a problem.
Now, Dustin is giving Brad the green light while he is still in Los Angeles, allowing him to fill this gap in his qualifications, which is also a good intention.
Dustin looked at him without saying anything and continued, "After this is done, you and Selina will also have to go through the detective exam. I will arrange it for you. It won't be too much trouble."
What could Luke say? He could only sincerely say, "Thanks, Boss."
The car drove away. Dustin felt inexplicably complicated as he watched Luke waving goodbye in the rearview mirror.
Luke lives such a comfortable life, enjoying the king crabs that haven't been put on the market yet, and he has a jacuzzi and Selina in the backyard. Will he really choose to go to New York to suffer with me
I just hope that my last bit of effort can increase my success rate, even if it's just from 20% to 30... well, 25% would be good.
With this great uncertainty, Dustin disappeared from Luke's sight.
Returning to the backyard, he looked at the two women who were already soaking in the massage pool and brought two plates of barbecued king crabs over to them.
He squatted down by the pool, handed the plates in his hand to each of them, and said, "Boss, I've pushed the blame on the patrolman for the incident you mentioned in the group about the boss having a candlelight dinner. Don't let it slip."
"Thank you." Elsa expressed her sincere gratitude, and then said in annoyance, "It's all because of that gossipy guy Billy Wang. He heard a little and spread it around the group."
Luke was speechless.
He didn't want to get involved in this matter, but it was Elsa who accidentally mentioned that Dustin was having a candlelight dinner with a beautiful lawyer when she was talking to him.
Actually, he also has some responsibilities and can only help to clean up the mess.
This is not a big problem, but it would be bad if Dustin misunderstood that Elsa was spreading his private life everywhere.
After saying this, Luke turned the topic to business: "Boss, have you decided to go?"
Elsa nodded without hesitation: "I am alone and don't have any relatives or friends here. It's not bad to go to New York."
Luke shook his head: "But New York is much more dangerous than here."
Elsa's expression became serious: "I know, but being a police officer is dangerous anywhere."
Luke: "Don't forget Bullseye. There are many such people in New York."
Elsa hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "I will meet them in Los Angeles as well. Whether I can survive or not, doesn't it all depend on God's will?"
Knowing her attitude, Luke didn't say anything more.
When a person is unlucky, a flowerpot may fall from the sky and hit his head.
Being a police officer is a high-risk profession. There is really not much else to say except praying for God's protection and trying hard to avoid risks.
Elsa looked at his expression and said, "You don't have to worry about me. It's actually quite good for you to be here. There's no need to follow."
Luke smiled and said, "Thank you."
This was because she was afraid that he would agree to go to New York just to save her face.
Of course, the relationship between Dustin and Luke is not as strong as that between Elsa and Luke.
After all, the two of them are old partners who have become a superior-subordinate relationship, similar to Dustin and Roger.
In Elsa's opinion, Dustin's face alone is definitely not enough to make Luke go to New York.
This is also true.
Luke would definitely consider the pros and cons before giving his answer. Dustin and Elsa's face could only be an additional bargaining chip.
It’s not that he doesn’t remember kindness, but New York is truly a “good place” with “simple folk customs” and “many talented people”.
If you rush in without a plan, you will end up with a bloody head.
That afternoon, everyone in Elsa's group was slacking off.
Selina even called Elizabeth and Billy over, and Simmons was also invited.
However, Billy and Simmons did not stay for too long. After eating something and being stuffed with a large bag of ready-made barbecue by Luke, they returned to the bureau to continue their work.
Simmons is a white young man and Elsa's new partner. He has very little experience and is currently in the stage of frantically taking on cases to gain experience.
Billy and Elizabeth are partners. They have almost the same qualifications and experience, but he is still rather timid when facing Elsa.
Old guy like Billy Wang seldom communicated with Elsa alone. He would just chat with her for a few words in the hall and then leave.
It is always a tragedy when a weak man meets a strong woman.
This is especially true for a husband like Lao Wang who is dominated by his wife.
In fact, except for those sheriffs who have the same status and seniority as Elsa in the serious crime squad, most other people would feel uncomfortable facing Elsa.
