Chapter 752: Passionate Young Ladies and Cold, Male Shut-Ins

Remick knew many police officers who only graduated from high school and community colleges and worked hard for more than ten years, only to be promoted to sergeant; if they were lucky, they could make lieutenant.

A diploma was a key indicator that determined the upper limit of most people.

With a diploma from a prestigious university, one would have a huge advantage when it came to getting a promotion.

But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head. “If your sister is going to attend university for the next few years, she still has to redo the training. That’s the rule.”

Luke wasn’t too surprised. “Thanks, Remick.”

Walking out of the building, he looked at the girls on the training ground and walked over. “Claire.”

Claire, Karen and Hux were chatting on the grass.

Hearing his voice, the three of them turned around.

Claire was stunned. “Luke, why are you here?”

Luke said, “I’m a temporary staff member at the police academy.”

Karen, however, had already stood up to hug him. “Thank you, Luke.”

Noticing Selina’s strange expression, Luke asked calmly, “Why are you thanking me?”

Karen patted her forehead. “You saved us that day. You left too quickly. I was going to treat you to a meal.”

Selina didn’t say anything as an amused look flashed in her eyes. This young lady was quite proactive, but she was far from being Jenny.

It wasn’t until they chatted for a bit that Luke and Selina learned that class D15 was on break today.

Even though Los Angeles was still a mess, the rookies weren’t machines, nor were they seasoned police officers.

Karen took the initiative again and suggested that they find a place for lunch. It was her treat.

Claire hesitated for a moment, but in the end still offered to help.

As Selina gave a half-smile, Luke accepted the invitation.

He and Karen also chatted a lot throughout lunch.

After a meal at a Santa Monica seaside restaurant, both sides said goodbye and went their separate ways. Selina then said with a smile, “Wow, these ladies are real elites. They’ll pounce when they have the chance.”

Luke didn’t think much of it. “That’s a good way to put it. At least, it’s better than those ladies who put on airs and wait to be fawned over, right?”

Selina said, “Stop pretending. You’ve been trying to get information out of her, haven’t you? Poor girl… Tsk tsk.”

Luke smiled. “Karen is Senator Thompson’s niece and Beth Patrick Thompson’s cousin. After the plane crash a few months ago, Senator Henry Elsworth became a strong contender for mayor. Also, the Thompson family has always been in conflict with the Elsworths. Where else do you think the information she leaked earlier came from?”

Selina asked, “So, you wanted to ask her about the Elsworths? But she doesn’t know much for her age, does she?”

Luke chuckled. “No, she’s already revealed a lot. Remember when she said that the younger generation should stay away from the Elsworth family?”

Selina thought for a moment. “She did say that. Is there a problem?”

“It also means that the Elsworth case has already spread among the politicians, and it must be a serious problem, or these young people wouldn’t have noticed,” Luke explained. “After all, it’s not rare for rebellious young people looking for thrills to get involved in killing games and evil cult worship.”

Selina nodded. “That’s true.”

Luke said, “These families in the political circle are much more sensitive than ordinary people. The fact that the news spread among them means that the Elsworth case can no longer be covered up. They’re all trying to avoid this ‘earthquake’ in California.”

Selina asked, “Are the Elsworths that powerful? Once their luck runs out, will the whole of California be affected?”

Luke said, “When an avalanche happens, not a single snowflake is innocent.”

Selina asked, “What do you mean?”

“Even if most people don’t know what the Elsworths did, they’re accomplices,” said Luke. “These people might not be vampires or have killed anyone with their own hands, but they’re definitely corrupt and abusive. Have you forgotten how Wolf Elsworth broke into our interrogation room and took Mr. Dylan away? Do you really think Dustin wanted to let that scum go?”

Selina nodded and got it.

Luke had never liked opponents with no bottom line.

Sheldon Elsworth didn’t respect human life at all, so Luke naturally had to kill him.

In the next few days, the political scene in Los Angeles changed, just as Luke predicted.

The FBI already officially made public the news that they were investigating evidence of Sheldon Elsworth’s crimes, and had obtained major results.

Sheldon’s faction began to crumble.

As for the rest of the Elsworth family, they drew a clear line between themselves and Sheldon as they tried to protect themselves.

But how effective these actions were would depend on the depth of their involvement and their own PR efforts.

They wouldn’t be able to clear their names so easily in front of a bunch of enemies who were waiting to take advantage of them.

On the surface, Luke discovered that more than twenty mid-level Elsworth employees had suddenly disappeared.

Whether they had escaped or were arrested, it was a heavy blow to the Elsworth family.

Judging from Dustin’s relaxed expression, he knew that the situation was favorable for him and Jennifer.

Elsa and Elizabeth returned to work, no longer needing to take turns to protect Jennifer.

The only thing that puzzled Luke was that Dr. Bruce Banner, Jennifer’s cousin, had left, and never visited her again.

It was normal for cousins to not have as close a bond, but Dr. Banner hadn’t seemed like that when he was donating blood.

From what Jennifer said, it was clear that they were quite close.

After all, Banner was at the California Institute of Technology, which was located in the small city of Pasadena on the outskirts of Los Angeles and half an hour’s drive away.

Like a moving blood bank, Dr. Banner had rushed over and given Jennifer hundreds of milliliters of life-saving blood before he disappeared.

It was a strange situation, but Luke didn’t think much of it.

Perhaps Dr. Banner was that type of cousin who was cold-faced but warm-hearted! He was afraid of being thanked, so he holed up in his lab after doing something good. This would happen quite often in the future.

Thankfully, as part of the registration procedure, the hospital had Dr. Banner’s phone number.

Luke obtained the number easily and sent a message to Dr. Banner.

Of course, he couldn’t word the news so simply or bluntly in a text message; he could only tell Dr. Banner not to let his life or work be affected because of what happened to Jennifer.
