Having obtained thirty-five lottery draw chances at once, Luke felt he had struck it rich again.
Draw the lottery!
The pointer spun...
After thirty-five draws, he won four cards and 31,000 US Dollars.
Among them were two old cards, an Accuracy Card, and a Micro-Expression Analysis Card.
The two new cards, boxing cards [Learning cards, can quickly learn and grasp boxing skills, valid for three hours.]
This was the fourth type of learning card Luke had acquired.
Compared to other types of cards, Luke preferred to get learning cards.
Because once he learned the skills on the card, they would become his own ability forever.
Previously, he received a Pistol Card, which allowed him to make great progress in his shooting skills in a short time and perform especially well in shooting cases, hitting the suspect's arm both times, which not only incapacitated the suspect but also did not affect the investigation of the case.
Of course, if the suspect was dangerous enough, Luke would not hesitate to shoot him in the head.
The Observation Card improved Luke's observation ability, making it stronger and allowing him to find subtle clues in cases, a very practical skill.
The Micro-Expression Analysis Card helped Luke to read people's true emotions. Although it wasn't useful for everyone, it was still a practical skill that could be used not only at work but also in life.
Now Luke had obtained a boxing card, which would allow him to quickly learn boxing.
Luke himself already knew boxing, but he was just slightly better than the average person, not even comparable to an amateur boxer, let alone a professional.
Now that he had won two boxing cards, he could greatly improve his combat ability.
Equally practical cards.
Luke was in a very good mood, he made a packet of instant coffee and stood drinking it in his own small courtyard.
Having his own little courtyard had always been his dream.
Early in the morning, with a cool breeze and a clear sky, a green lawn, and leisurely drinking coffee, this was the life he wanted.
Luke looked around and felt that something was still missing in the courtyard.
It lacked a set of tables and chairs, it would be even better to sit and drink coffee.
Thinking about it, he did it. Luke happened to have his day off today and planned to go on a big shopping trip to the supermarket.
Having just won another 31,000 US Dollars, Luke's total assets now amounted to 410,000 US Dollars.
The joy of making money is for spending it, right?
Luke had always liked that kind of bamboo and rattan furniture—lightweight, cheap, pollution-free, and not out of place in the Chinese community where he lived.
He didn't go to the supermarket but planned to stroll around Chinatown instead.
He wanted to take Little Fatty with him, but the kid said he had things to do, and Daisy was working overtime today, so Luke had to go alone.
At nine in the morning, Luke set off in his Mercedes-Benz G500. Just being able to drive a luxury car was quite a thrill in itself.
Not long after the Mercedes left the Ruidu Community, a Ford car parked by the side of the road started up and drove off in the same direction...
After about fifteen minutes, Luke arrived in Chinatown.
He hadn't had breakfast yet, so he ordered a pork bun and a serving of rice noodles.
He ate to his satisfaction.
After the meal, he began to wander around Chinatown to see if there was anything he needed.
First of all, when shopping in Chinatown, one must avoid being taken for a sucker.
Luke first visited the place selling bamboo crafts and, after shopping around, bought a set of bamboo and rattan tables and chairs. The price was not expensive, and with shipping, it was just 300 US Dollars.
Afterward, Luke went to the tea market. He had wanted to drink tea for a while but had not had the time to buy it.
In Los Angeles where a lot of meat is eaten, drinking tea is the best way to cut through the grease.
He first bought a tea tray for about one hundred US Dollars.
A set of Yixing purple clay tea ware for three hundred US Dollars.
Then he bought four types of tea—Dragon Well, Tieguanyin, Jasmine Dragon Ball, and Pu'er—costing roughly two hundred US Dollars in total.
With tea, you get what you pay for.
He didn't buy much the first time, just enough to take home and try it out; if it was good, he would buy more.
He put the tea tray and tea leaves in the car, planning to wander around a bit more and have lunch before going home.
He walked into a street lined with restaurants and turned into a little alley.
After a while, a white man also turned into the alley, wearing a gray baseball cap and walking with his head down.
Suddenly, Luke pulled out his pistol, "LAPD, raise your hands!"
The white man was startled and raised his hands, "Hey, you surprised me, why are you pointing a gun at me?"
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm not. I just wanted to find a restaurant to eat."
"You don't need to lie, I've noticed you a long time ago. Having strolled around Chinatown with you for half the day, there must be plenty of surveillance footage catching you stalking. If you don't admit it, I'll have no choice but to arrest you for assaulting an officer."
"Assaulting an officer?" The man looked surprised, "You're joking, right? I never got close to you, and now you're the one pointing a gun at me."
"I believe your stalking behavior posed a threat to my personal safety, and I have the right to arrest you for assaulting an officer.
As for the judgment, that's for the judge to decide."
Being a police officer in America is a high-risk job.
Unlike office workers who interact with clients, policemen mostly deal with criminals. Because of the protective measures for the special profession of police officers, charges of assaulting an officer are taken very seriously.
Although there was no physical contact and the likelihood of conviction for assaulting an officer was not high, it was not impossible.
Moreover, as long as the surveillance showed that the person exhibited stalking behavior, it could also be classified as stalking harassment, and Luke had every reason to arrest him.
The man caved, "Hey, there is really no need to make things so complicated. We can talk about it, find another way to resolve it."
"Like what?"
"Let me go, and I promise not to show up around you again."
