Chapter 50: Teachings from the California Cannon King

For the next period of time, everything returned to normal.

When Luke wasn't shooting in the precinct, he was working with Stark to teach him how to pick up girls.

He gave Stark a list of youth campus dramas and movies.

Show him how to get along with girls.

After all, this guy went to college at the age of 15, so he had no experience in campus romance.

When Luke had nothing to do, he would go to Stark Industries to visit him and Pepper to entertain them.

Now that Annie was gone, he was really bored.

Harris is still in the process of reorganizing those arrogant soldiers, so he has nothing to do for Luke.

However, after Luke visited Stark Industries several times, he probably understood why Stark would be so annoying in the future.

Obadiah Stane's attitude towards Stark was very clever. There is a strategy to destroy people in Chinese civilization, called - praising to death.

He completely flattered Stark.

When Luke went to Stark to find him, he used his original last name, Luke Qin.

This made him treat Luke very well, as if he regarded Luke as a rich young man who had no worries about food and drink.

Luke did not let him down. He would always ask Stark to hold a party or something like that.

But Luke only gives benefits to the employees of his grandmother's fashion company.

He pulled Stark and observed the girls silently.

Then he would hold a party with people from Hollywood. The comparison between the two made Stark understand what green tea was.

The good news is that Stark is only 29 years old now and has not been too deeply influenced by Obadiah Stan.

Moreover, Luke also told Stark about the ancient Chinese strategy of destroying people, which is called "killing with flattery".

Stark was stunned by what he heard.

Luke didn't mention Obadiah Stan by name, which shows that he has some emotional intelligence.

Stark's relationship with Obadiah Stane dates back to the days of his parents.

However, Luke told Pepper privately that Pepper was the only one who could influence Stark.

When Luke saw that Stark could communicate with normal girls instead of throwing money at them, he knew it was almost time.

He began to let Stark understand Pepper in all aspects.

Not just Pepper's personal information, but also her preferences and experiences.

This was compiled by Luke. After reading it, Stark was silent for a long time.

It says what Pepper knows about Stark, but Stark knows nothing about Pepper.

He only knew that this was the secretary Howard left for him. After Luke's reminder, he now didn't know what to do without Pepper.

Seeing that the time was right, Luke stopped looking for Stark so frequently.

Let him calm down, he still has a plan, a very bold plan.

That day, while Stark was doing research and development in the company, Luke called Pepper and Rhodes out.

In the corner of the restaurant, Rhodes asked Pepper puzzledly why Stark didn't come.

Pepper obviously realized that Luke deliberately avoided Stark when he went to find them.

But Pepper didn't ask, she waited to see what Luke would say.

Luke asked Pepper directly:

"Do you like Stark?"

Rhodes stared at the two of them with wide eyes. It was obvious that he was still confused and didn't understand why they started talking about this topic.

Pepper looked at Luke, who had a serious expression on his face, and was silent for a long time before nodding.

Recently, Luke and Stark have been studying something together in a mysterious way, and she always feels a little uneasy.

It’s not that I’m afraid that Luke will lead Stark astray, but I always feel like the two of them are planning something.

So Luke began to tell them his plan, which shocked them...

In the end, Pepper left happily, leaving Rhodes with a depressed look on his face.

"Luke, why can't I meet a nice girl like this?"

Patting his shoulder, Luke comforted him:

"After all, this is a world where appearance matters... Don't be discouraged, you probably won't meet someone like him again in the future... There's no point in thinking so much..."

Rhodes is even more depressed and heartbroken, my friend...

A few days later, Luke helped Harris with a case.

Originally, Luke had almost found all the clues, and a group of clerks had also compiled the reports and evidence, so all that was left was to arrest the person.

But Harris gave the job to those unruly field agents.

Everyone else was angry for Luke, but Luke knew that this was a big trap.

This criminal has a strong family background, but his files have been hidden.

This must be the work of their family, but Luke has heard of this person.

If those guys are not clean enough when they arrest people, they will be in trouble from his family members afterwards.

They have definitely fallen into Harris' trap. This woman is really evil...

Just after handing over the case, Luke received a call from Stark.

"Luke, Pepper has been kidnapped."

Luke burst into swear words when he heard this:

"Wang Defa? Pepper is just a secretary. Are these robbers crazy? If they want to kidnap someone, they'd rather kidnap you."

Stark's deep voice sounded in the microphone.

"Originally their target was supposed to be me, but Pepper asked me to take care of other things, so she went out in my place."

"Where's Happy? Is his bodyguard just for show?"

"Happy is injured, but it's nothing serious. He just passed out when the car hit him."

"Where are you now? I'll rush over to meet you and talk."

"I am at home."

"Listen, Tony, if you get a call from a robber, agree to whatever he asks, but you have to stall for time, okay?"

"I see, Luke, should I call the police?"

Luke thought for a moment and said:

"Let me arrange for the police. This will save them the time of reporting to the next higher level. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Luke said something to Harris and left.

Half an hour later, Luke arrived at Stark's villa in Malibu and the LAPD police also sent people.

The person who came was also Luke's "acquaintance", Detective Frank who met Chief Taylor together and is now the chief detective.

As soon as he came in, Luke asked Stark without even bothering to greet Frank.

"Any news about the robbers?"

Stark shook his head.

At this time, Luke's phone rang. He picked up the phone and heard Harris' voice.

"Luke, I've sent an intelligence analysis team to help you. I know Stark is your friend. Contact me if you need anything."

"Okay, I thank you for Tony, Harris."

Stark looked at Luke puzzledly as he put the phone down.

Luke said to him:

"My boss heard about your situation and sent an intelligence analysis team over here."

Then Luke said to Inspector Frank:

"Let's work together on this case."

Frank nodded and said:

"Great! The equipment of your FBI intelligence team is much better than that of our police station."

After a while, the intelligence team arrived.

First, he took Stark's mobile phone and the villa's landline to install monitoring equipment, and then began to make arrangements.

It's true that this operation was very professional, but Stark just sat there distracted.

Seeing this, Luke came over to him, patted his shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, Tony, we will definitely rescue Pepper as soon as possible."

At this time, Stark's cell phone rang.
