Chapter 260 Internal strife among killers?

Xiaodao and Axing were called by Gao Jin to discuss the arrangements for this charity event.

This also caused them to miss Master Qin's kindness.

But Young Master Qin couldn't accompany them the next day.

In addition to dealing with the troubles of several college students here, Luke also has to take Hill and Terry back to Los Angeles.

Terry still looked reluctant to leave, and it was obvious that she hadn't had enough fun.

However, Luke was still surprised to see Hill and Terry being so intimate together.

This... Hill is a very quick guy.

But it's true that many American men and women get together as soon as they fall in love with each other, completely based on instinct.

What's more, the two of them had experienced a thrilling adventure together a few days ago.

With the help of the suspension bridge effect, the relationship between the two naturally developed quickly.

Suspension Bridge Effect This is a very famous psychological research result.

(If you are interested, you can go and have a look, it is very effective in finding a partner.)

(But this world is still a world where appearance matters after all... If you are too ugly, there is no effect...)

Just when my uncle and Gao Jin and a few others were about to send Luke off, the casino manager came up behind my uncle and whispered something.

Luke heard it.

Then my uncle showed an angry expression.

"Luke, don't go back yet. Help me check. My casino publicity manager has been killed."

Luke could only look helplessly at the expressionless Hill and the excited Terry.

"Okay, wait for me, don't go too far."

Then he followed his uncle and a group of bodyguards to the crime scene.

This is a church outside of Las Vegas.

The police have cordoned off the area.

Given my uncle’s status in Las Vegas, he doesn’t even need to show ID; he can just scan his face.

But Luke still followed the procedure and showed his ID.

The local sheriff was not unhappy with Luke's arrival.

Because they can't solve this kind of case.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but the groom is a middle or senior manager of the casino, so it can't be left unresolved.

Luke walked into the church.

The sheriff gave Luke the basic information.

The bride and groom rehearsed their wedding here with the pastor, band, witnesses and several friends of the groom.

This was booked in advance in the church pastor's schedule.

The scene was very bloody.

There are signs of a fight.

The bride was clearly subjected to a violent attack, but was not violated.

Others died from gunshot wounds.

There were many bullet shells left at the scene, all of which were 5.56mm NATO standard bullets, but not military ones.

As the police were checking the scene, a police officer suddenly shouted:

"Call an ambulance, the bride still has a heartbeat."

Luke hurried to the bride and saw that her heart was still beating. Moreover, she was pregnant.

But the little life looked less than 4 months old.

So Luke pretended to run behind the car and got out the first aid kit.

Then he came to the bride and began to examine her.

The bride suffered multiple minor fractures, trauma, soft tissue contusions, and a gunshot wound to the head, but none of them were fatal.

After checking, Luke sighed.

Wow, this bride is really lucky. She didn’t die despite such serious injuries. It seems that she is a ruthless person that even hell won’t accept.

The bride has a very strong body, which must be the result of long-term exercise.

There are many calluses on the hands, which means that weapons are often used, including firearms and cold weapons.

This bride is most likely a retired killer or mercenary, and her organization disagrees, so they come to silence her.

In order to kill her, her organization actually sent four killers.

They almost succeeded.

After examining the bride and treating her broken bones and bleeding injuries, he took advantage of the other police officers not paying attention to give her an injection of '$250 to save your life'.

Luke is not a pushover, but he is not a heartless person either.

Although I can’t give “250 to save your life” to anyone casually, if I encounter special situations, I will still help if I can.

Everything has cause and effect. If you make good connections, you may get help in the future.

So usually, "Save Your Life 250" is only used for family members, and is also secretly given to subordinates and friends.

It will also be used when encountering such emergency situations. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and after the seriously injured bride was put in the car, Luke found his uncle.

"You need to send someone to watch the bride. If the other party knows that the bride is not dead, they will definitely send someone to kill her again."

My uncle nodded and gave some instructions to his bodyguards.

Just now, Luke told his uncle the conclusion he came to after investigating the scene.

My cousin was also helpless as his men were dragged into such an unexpected disaster.

Now everything is waiting for the bride to wake up.

Luke thought for a moment and said to his uncle:

"First stabilize her injuries, and then quietly transfer her to Los Angeles, to our own hospital. She is an important witness...or not a witness."

The cousin thought silently for a while and looked at Luke.

"I don't need any witnesses."

"OK, that's easy. Let's arrange for someone to publish the news first."

What my cousin said just now is very interesting.

What he meant was that my men were killed just like that, but we can't just let it go like that.

Since the other party is from the underworld (killers, mercenaries, gangsters, drug dealers are all underworld forces), then we should follow the rules of the underworld.

You sent people to kill my people. No matter what the reason, you must pay the price.

So what the cousin meant was to hide the news that the bride was still alive, and wait for her to wake up, and then see what the situation was, and then he would take revenge.

The purpose of publishing the news is to publicly report that no one survived this case and to conceal the fact that the bride is still alive.

As for hush money or something, it is not necessary. The entire Las Vegas Police Department is elected by the five major families.

This is something that can be easily done with a little money.

With this approach, Luke wouldn't have to go through official procedures.

The government must never be allowed to intervene in the feuds between gangs. Once it intervenes, it means that you have betrayed the rules of the gang and will be attacked by everyone.

Unless one party is beaten to a point of desperation, or becomes a public enemy of the underworld, he will have no chance to continue to work in the underworld.

No matter what, my cousin is a member of the Italian Mafia family, so he won't just let it go like this.

If I can't give an explanation for the death of this subordinate, it will be difficult to manage the other subordinates in the future.

Therefore, since we are facing someone from the underworld, we should follow the rules of the underworld.

Seeing that he was no longer needed for follow-up matters, Luke decided to return to Los Angeles.

Then he was held by his uncle and patted for a long time...

"Can't you stay with your cousin for a few more days?"

Luke spread his hands helplessly.

"I also have a lot of things to do. When your activity plan comes out, send it to Lilith and I will help you take a look."

Hearing Luke's answer, his uncle smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I'm going to prepare some things for my aunt (Luke's grandmother), you can help me bring some to her."

"Okay, I got it. Just let Lilith know if anything happens."

"I love Lilith so much, I want to erect a statue of her, made of pure gold..."

"No, that's useless to her. It would be more economical for you to install a few more supercomputers."

"I'll have people buy it after this event."
