A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Tang pointed to the person behind him who was fast asleep in the office and said to Brian, "Believe me, if you tell Lu later that this is the car you have to compensate him for, he will sell you to human traffickers to make up for his loss."

Standing next to her brother, Mia smiled and said, "I advise you not to say anything, Brian. Lu Ke values ​​his money a lot. Here, Lu Ke is the most diligent about attendance. He's most afraid of others withholding his... what's that saying again? Right, hard-earned money!"

Brian smiled and looked down at everyone: "Believe me, this car is absolutely worth the price. I searched all over Los Angeles to find it."

In the afternoon.

Brian pulled Luke up from the sofa and led him to the dilapidated car that looked like it should be in a junkyard rather than a repair shop.

It took him a moment to realize that the car in front of him was the racing car that Brian had given him as compensation.

Although Brian made a bet with Don in the last race, the rules of underground racing dictate that the winner takes all.

Unfortunately, the winner was Luke.

So even though Brian made the bet with Don, the final stakes belonged to him.

But what about this beat-up car?

Lu Ke glanced at it and then looked away, turning to Tang: "Approximately how much will it be worth after it's repaired?"

Tang thought for a moment and said, "After it's repaired, this car will probably be worth around 90,000."

Luke said "Oh," glanced at Brian who looked confident to the side, and said directly, "You owe me ninety thousand dollars now, I'll remember that."

After saying that.

Luke turned around again and walked towards his office to catch up on his sleep.

He decided to postpone his trip to Lucy's house for the time being.

no way.

Although this body has been treated for nearly five months, its foundation is still weak and it needs further treatment.

Lu Ke plans to visit a Chinese medicine pharmacy in Chinatown tomorrow to buy some Chinese medicine and get a few doses of "strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy" medicine to supplement his exercise.

Everyone's attention returned to Lu Ke after he went back to his office.

Mia glanced at Brian, whose face fell, and shrugged, saying, "I knew it." She added, "I told you, Luke definitely wouldn't like it."

Brian opened his mouth and looked at Tang: "I thought Lu was a good driver."

Letty walked up to Brian, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and shook her head, saying, "Lu is a good driver, but he prefers his four-ringed luxury car to racing cars."

Tang, with his arms crossed, looked at Brian and pointed to the wrecked car in front of him, which was worth 90,000 after repairs: "I can buy this car for you for 40,000 US dollars, but you'll have to figure out the remaining 50,000 yourself, buddy."

Brian: "..."

Chapter 18 You Will Die a Gruesome Death

Luke has never said he is a driver.

Because he wasn't originally one.

Luke did not enjoy the roar of the engine or the pleasure of burning gasoline.

Compared to mechanical pleasure, he prefers something more practical, enjoying the pleasure that comes from physical intimacy between men and women.

and so……

While Brian felt he had successfully joined the "family" and was tinkering with that beat-up car worth 90,000 with Don, Luke made several trips to Chinese medicine pharmacies in Los Angeles' Chinatown to finalize the "strengthening the body's foundation" pharmacy he had tailored for him.

Luke then stuffed the written prescription into his pocket, walked out of the office, and greeted Tang and Letty.

"Tang, I need to take a leave of absence. I'm going to Chinatown."

"Hey!"

Tang turned to look at Luke, who was walking towards the black Audi A8 as he spoke, and said, "Come back early tomorrow morning. We're going to the Speed ​​Race venue. Don't forget."

Without turning his head, Lu Ke gave a gesture of acceptance.

Speed ​​Race.

An underground racing competition that is not formal, but can be considered legal, is held in mid-April each year.

It's already March 15th, and there are still about 30 days until the Speed ​​Race begins.

So these past few days, besides how to repair the broken-down car Brian sent over, this has been the most talked-about topic.

This year's Speed ​​Race is even more exciting because Johnny Chen's Speed ​​Race gang, the arch-rival of the "Lumberjack Family," has made a bold statement, saying they will teach Dom a lesson in the Speed ​​Race.

Luke didn't care about this.

Just as he said.

He wasn't a good driver; he just drove faster than anyone else.

after an hour.

Luke drove to Chinatown once again.

get off.

Looking around at the signs filled with Eastern script and the pedestrians on the roadside, Lu Ke always felt a little dazed, as if he had dreamt of returning to the East.

pity.

This was ultimately not his hometown.

Lu Ke shook his head, then ignored the people sleeping by the roadside. Just like his predecessor, he had come to Los Angeles only to find that it was not heaven, but hell for them. He didn't even have the heart to give alms and walked straight into the pharmacy in front of him that sold Chinese herbal medicine.

after awhile.

He left the pharmacy behind him carrying five neatly packaged doses of prepared Chinese medicine.

boarding.

Luke drove straight out of Chinatown, intending to go back to Lucy's apartment and make himself a packet to try.

but……

Just as Luke was about to turn right onto the main road, a cool-looking motorcycle suddenly darted out from the left side of his vehicle.

at the same time.

There was another motorcycle on the right.

next second.

The motorcyclist on the left, almost touching Luke's car, made a gesture to Luke inside, then pulled open his shirt to reveal a pistol tucked into his waistband, and pointed ahead.

After doing all this, the motorcyclist on the left accelerated and drove directly in front of Luke's car, then turned on his left turn signal.

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow, looking at the three motorcycles sandwiching him. Just as he was about to turn the steering wheel and run away, he saw a police car on duty at the intersection.

Between the electric light and flint.

Lu Ke took a deep breath and followed the motorcycle, turning straight ahead towards the sign with the distinctive Eastern style that read "Sanyang Supermarket".

He already knew whose people those three motorcyclists were.

The Flying Bike Gang, Johnny Chen's men.

only……

What does this guy want from me?

As Lu Ke thought this to himself, he followed the motorcycle that had entered the speeding car lane and slowly drove in as well.

As Luke drove in, the electric roller shutter behind him slowly descended.

The motorcyclist who had been leading the way got off his motorcycle, took off his helmet, and then took out a pistol from his waist. He and the other three then aimed at Luke inside the car.

"get off."

"..."

Luke wisely extended his hands to indicate that he was not in any danger, then opened the car door and looked at the four men pointing guns at him.

He was just about to speak.

next second.

A thud.

A motorcyclist immediately stepped forward, pinned him against his Audi A8, spun him around, and pressed a pistol against his back.

Followed by.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

Johnny Chen, wearing a leather jacket, walked out of the office not far away, clapping his hands. He then looked at Luke and said in Dongguo dialect, "I had heard before that a driver from Dongguo had come to Tang's side. I didn't expect it to be true."

Luke felt the gun barrel pointed at his back, then looked at Johnny Chen, who walked up to his car, opened the passenger door, and stared blankly at him: "Johnny Chen, what do you want?"

Johnny Chen took out the five packets of traditional Chinese medicine that Luke had just bought from the passenger seat, smelled them, and then looked at Luke: "He really is a fellow countryman."

Lu Ke chuckled.

Foreign country.

When fellow villagers meet, they get ripped off and are left in tears.

The predecessor is a prime example; otherwise, it wouldn't have starved to death in the garbage dump and then been usurped by him.

Seeing this, Johnny Chen smiled and casually tossed the packet of Chinese medicine in his hand to his subordinate, who also had an Eastern appearance.

"Hey!"

Seeing this, Lu Ke raised an eyebrow: "Put it back. I need to go back and brew the medicine later."

Johnny Chen lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He looked at Luke and said, "Go back? Go back where? You're helping those white people fight against your own countrymen. You're planning to go back?"

Luke said expressionlessly, "I have never interfered in your feud with Tang, and I don't care about your feud at all."

Johnny Chen tilted his head and looked at Luke.

"is it?"

"Let me go, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Walk?"

"Where to go?"
