A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Earl's smile was very meaningful.

Luke saw this scene through the rearview mirror. His thoughts changed. After understanding the meaning of Earl's smile, he shook his head involuntarily.

When he got home, Rachel happened to be still at home and not at the TV station.

Luke got out of the car and walked into the living room.

Rachel, who was sitting at the bar and flipping through a magazine, looked up and said with a smile, "Back?"

Luke threw the key aside and nodded.

"Where's Lorna."

"School."

Rachel closed the magazine in her hand, stood up, walked towards Luke, hugged Luke's neck, and reminded: "Lorna waited very late for you last night, but you didn't even come back. You can explain it to your sister later."

Luke looked at Rachel with a strange expression.

Rachel raised her eyebrows when she saw this.

"Still going out?"

"Seoul."

Luke told the truth and looked at the time on his watch: "Waiting for Stryker's plane to arrive."

Rachel's smile faded.

"problem occurs?"

"Correct."

Luke nodded again, followed Rachel to the bar, turned around, took out the bourbon, poured himself a glass, and then looked at Rachel sitting down on the high stool, without hiding Rachel's thoughts. He said directly: "Lucy is missing."

He didn't come back yesterday. He just told Rachel that something happened temporarily, but he didn't say anything specific.

After all, Luke wasn't very sure yesterday.

But now it's certain.

There is nothing wrong to say to anyone.

not to mention……

Lucy's disappearance, in the final analysis, was directed at him.

Luke briefly explained to Rachel that he had a busy day yesterday and collected some approved information.

Lucy is missing.

Her abductor was the missing three hundred and twenty-five hydras he discovered after taking over the Whitehorse estate.

Of course.

Also missing along with Lucy was his daughter, whom he had never met.

Luke didn't hide anything from Rachel and told it truthfully.

After hearing this, Rachel nodded: "The other party captured Lucy and Mengmeng. It's obvious that they are forcing you to go to Seoul."

Luke nodded and said yes.

next second.

Luke raised his eyebrows and looked at Rachel: "You're not surprised."

Rachel looked at Luke curiously.

"What's the surprise?"

"I have a daughter."

"I would be surprised if you didn't tell me."

"what?"

"Let me listen to a recording."

Rachel smiled, grabbed the mobile phone beside her, rummaged through it, and said, "I received a very interesting phone call in the morning."

Done.

Rachel found the call recording she had saved at that time, blinked at Luke, then placed it on the bar and chose to play it.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Ms. Rachel Villeless?"

"I am, you are..."

"I have inside information about your fiancé. I don't know if you are interested in it."

"……what do you want?"

"I don't want anything. I'm a kind-hearted person who doesn't tolerate hypocrisy. Your fiancé has never been like that in front of the media."

The voice speaking to Rachel was obviously disguised.

"Let's take a gamble, Ms. Villeless."

"What do you want to bet on?"

"Your fiancé will definitely go to Seoul in the near future."

"Seoul? Why?"

"He may tell you that he went to Seoul for something, but he will definitely not tell you the real reason, but I can."

"what?"

"The reason he came to Seoul was because of his daughter."

"what?"

"He was carrying you outside, and he had another daughter for him, Ms. Villeless."

"...You have a certificate...Hello?"

The call ends here.

After the call recording ended, Rachel looked at Luke with a smile: "That's why I'm not surprised."

Because she should be surprised, she was already completely surprised by this phone call this morning while she was still sleeping.

but……

The guy who called Rachel didn't know one thing.

Nowadays, Luke's "brave", "fearless", "courageous", "selfless" and other positive performances in front of the public and even in front of various media are all perfectly and carefully packaged. of.

And the person who packaged him was none other than his fiancée.

Rachel Villeless, prime-time anchor of Columbia Media's evening news.

Even after Luke became the director of the FBI in Los Santos, there were several public speeches that Luke used only after Rachel had checked and confirmed them.

In terms of external image management, Rachel controls everything down to the smallest detail. Moreover, this person obviously does not understand the way Luke and Rachel get along.

The way Luke and Rachel get along is simple.

There are no secrets.

Every time Luke went out to play in the jungle or came back from the field, he always reported to Rachel.

And Rachel also punished Luke.

That is, if you go out to play in the wild once, you will have to compensate Rachel double or even triple when you return home.

Luke grabbed the cell phone on the bar and found the number of the call.

Rachel, who was sitting opposite, said: "Don't look at it. I asked my assistant to check the disposable mobile phone number. This time, the person opposite is not kind."

Not only did they kidnap Lucy and Luke's girlfriends, they even found her specifically to tell her that Luke had a daughter outside.

obviously.

"The other party is trying to set fire inside and out."

"Yes."

Luke put down his phone and looked at Rachel thoughtfully: "This is a plan that will set me on fire in the backyard after I go to Seoul."

Rachel held her chin in her hands and said with a smile: "Obviously, the other party didn't want you to go to Seoul, but deliberately wanted you to go to Seoul. They deliberately pushed you away."

Again.

She is a smart woman, otherwise, she would not be able to keep Luke firmly by her side.

Rachel had just received the call and was indeed a little surprised when the other party said that Luke suddenly had a daughter in Seoul.

But after the other party revealed that the daughter's mother was Lucy, he wasn't so surprised.

Because she knew that Lucy was Luke's ex-girlfriend, she was also on Luke's reporting list.

Let alone Lucy having a daughter, she wouldn't be surprised. Even if Seve had a son, Rachel wouldn't be surprised either.

Because Seve was also reported by Luke in advance.

and so……

Rachel suddenly realized what the purpose of this phone call was.

"If it is the dead hand left by Whitehorse, then it is easy to understand that the other party made this call. They want to sow a relationship between me and you, and then, after you leave here, they try to sow me, come Ruin your reputation."

"Ah."

Luke nodded in agreement, and then looked at Rachel with relief: "But they wouldn't have thought that the relationship between us is unbreakable."

Rachel gave Luke a straight look.

Luke returned the kiss.

Rachel rolled her eyes and changed the subject.

"Then what are you going to do, go to Seoul?"

"go."

Lu Ke chuckled: "The other party has put in so much effort, isn't it because they want to ensure that I will definitely go to Seoul. In that case, let's go and don't let others down for their hard work, right?"

Rachel frowned.

"That home..."

"I captured all the remnants of the Hydra in Luo City yesterday."

"But there are more than three hundred hydras that have disappeared."

"I know."

Lu Ke nodded, his thoughts turning rapidly: "The other party pushed me away and contacted you secretly. Obviously, they thought you were my fiancée and they must have enough dirty information to oust me. "

Rachel shrugged and looked at Luke with a smile: "I do."

Luke looked at Rachel with a helpless look.

Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at Luke thoughtfully: "My dear, tell me whether I want to cooperate with them."

Luke laughed: "Then, dear, do you plan to cooperate with them?"

Rachel shook her head decisively: "No!"

Again.

She is a smart woman.

If Luke hides something from her, Rachel will be very angry, because the most intolerable thing in a relationship is deception.

But Luke never hid anything from her from beginning to end.

and so……

Only when she was crazy would she help outsiders to deal with her fiancé.

"But still just in case."

Rachel thought for a while and said to Luke: "If the other party sees that I don't take the bait, he will definitely tell others about it."

The Federation is a very open society.

But this is relative.

At the very least, in the true mainstream society of the Federation, illegitimate children have always been a sensitive topic.

What's more, Lu Ke is still a yellow man who occupies a high position in mainstream society, but his skin color is different from others.

Rachel said in a deep voice: "Once your illegitimate child is exposed, it will indeed have an impact on your reputation if it is not handled properly."

She would never allow anyone or anything to damage Luke's reputation.

Just like Rachel said before, even if her son does something that damages Luke's reputation in the future, Rachel will let her son be reborn without Luke taking action.

"But this time the opponent made the wrong move." Rachel's thoughts turned and she said to Luke: "If we are not prepared, this matter will indeed bring us trouble, but we already know it, and we also know how to deal with those who want to What are you doing?"

talking.

Rachel looked at Luke with a smile and said affirmatively: "You go ahead, I am at home, they can't make big waves."

Luke nodded, put down the bourbon in his glass, walked out of the bar, and hugged Rachel under Rachel's gaze: "No rush, there's still an hour and a half."

Rachel raised her eyebrows.

"Is that enough? Don't keep Lieutenant Colonel Stryker waiting."

"It's okay, let him wait for a while, but my fiancée can't wait."

"me!"
