Chapter 514 - Dating Is Free, and I Have To Work Tomorrow
The only reason why the brawn baldie didn’t do it was that they didn’t have enough combat ability. It was impossible for them to be quick about capturing Hernan when he was protected by eight bodyguards.
If they didn’t catch Hernan in the very first instant, the police officers and Hernan’s subordinates would swarm them, and it would be impossible to escape then.
The black man who had spoken hesitated when he saw everybody’s expressions. “Guys, do we want to invite this man to join the team? Our plan will be more likely to succeed with his help.”
“No!” Everybody turned their heads, because it was Vanessa who had shouted from the couch.
“Why not?” asked the black man curiously.
The man was a capable fighter, and he had slapped Hernan in public, which meant that he wasn’t on Hernan’s side. Why couldn’t they invite him?
Vanessa was silent for a moment, before she said, “I’m not that familiar with him. This matter is too important. I can’t let everybody take this risk.”
The black man was about to say something, but the brawny baldie interrupted him. “Okay, Vanessa, who is he?” After a brief hesitation, Vanessa said, “Dominic, he’s just an acquaintance whom I met in New York a couple of months ago.”
Dominic, the brawny baldie, frowned. “We really can’t invite him to join us?”
Vanessa quickly shook her head. “It’s best if we don’t.”
The man wasn’t some sort of righteous cop, but he did cause her to lose more than ten million dollars last time. If he did that again, how was she going to explain it to her partners?
Actually, she didn’t really understand why she could be so calm about a police detective who had robbed her of more than ten million dollars.
If her confidantes from the last robbery knew this, they would probably mock her for trying to suck up to him.
Dominic stared at her for a moment before he turned his head. “Okay, let’s drop it and focus on our own plan. Placing your hopes on someone else is the most useless thing to do.”
They continued their discussion.
With Hernan’s palm prints, there was a lot they could do.
On the side, Vanessa’s feelings were in a mess; she didn’t know what to do.
Luke had shown up repeatedly and done something unexpected every time. Also, since he was onto Hernan too, she had no doubt that they would meet again.
Then, what attitude should she face him with?
On the other hand, Luke was relaxed and not nearly as bothered as Vanessa.
For him, Vanessa wasn’t an experience bundle. The reward for killing her wasn’t as much as for killing two random armed criminals.
Besides, now that he was fully aware of Hernan’s and Dominic’s movements and plans, it was time for him to do something big.
Money? No, Luke wasn’t interested in the hundred million dollars that Dominic’s team was after.
That was because… he didn’t have enough space in his inventory to store all that money, and it would be very hard to launder it.
What he was most concerned about was experience and credit points.
On his trip to Mexico last time, he got more than ten thousand experience and credit points from one job. This time, he had only gained four thousand so far, which was only thirty percent of his goal. He had to work harder!
Cheering for himself in his heart, Luke then went… to the beach.
He had just beaten up Hernan in the afternoon, so he probably shouldn’t work anymore today. He might as well watch the bikini-clad girls play volleyball.
He had become an avid fan of the sport recently.
He had barely sat down in the restaurant, when the Brazilian girl who had given him a note before came over again. “What do you want today? The usual?”
Luke nodded with a smile. “Yes, and I would like two specials.” He gave her money for the meals as well as a tip. The girl accepted the money but didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she gave Luke a coy look. “Hey, you have time to look at them but don’t have time to ask me out?”
Stunned, Luke shook his head with a smile. “No, I’m just watching them in passing while I eat. Actually, I’m very busy.”
The girl reached out to lift his chin and she said, “Fine, but as long as you call that number, we’ll be officially dating, and dating is free, understand?”
With that, she turned around and left.
Looking at her curves, which were far more charming than that of her American peers, Luke sighed. “But I have to work tomorrow.”
The truth was that not only did he have to work the next day, he had to start preparing right now.
The surveillance he set up at the abandoned factory delivered intelligence to him unceasingly.
Hernan’s money was gathered in the police department. According to Dominic’s intelligence, Hernan put his money in the vault in the police department.
Clearly, this police department had long come under Hernan’s control.
Dominic had chosen the perfect time to attack, which was when Hernan went to the police department.
However brazen Hernan’s men were, they didn’t have the courage to barge into the police department and help the police capture criminals.
It was one thing for Hernan to conspire with the police in private, but it was a whole other thing to be public about it.
Thus, the only thing Dominic’s team had to handle were the police officers during the robbery.
Luke listened with interest and jotted down several key points of their operation.
If he showed up at the right time, he would be able to intercept Hernan and take him away.
The next morning, Luke got the message that Dominic was going to take action. He got in his car and set off as well.
But just ten minutes later, he received a notification of an unusual development.
Hooking up to his wiretap, Luke was dumbfounded.
Dominic, the handsome young man, and two other guys had been stopped by the FBI in the factory.
These FBI agents weren’t simple. They had taken advantage of the team’s negligence and tracked them down to the abandoned factory.
Then, they launched an unexpected ambush when half of Dominic’s team was out, capturing the rest of the members in the factory.
Luke clicked his tongue and didn’t know what to say. Dominic and the handsome young man were in charge of this robbery and central figures in the operation.
Without them, it was impossible to carry out the robbery at all.
After the chaos, the FBI agents caught the four people and herded them into their vehicles.
Even more unfortunately, the four people captured were all wanted in America.
Dominic Toretto, the handsome young man Brian O’Connor, Dominic’s sister Mia Toretto, and Vincent, who was an important assistant, had done quite a number of illegal things in Los Angeles.
In the end, they even hijacked a prisoner van, rescued Dominic, and fled to Brazil.
Luke searched his memories but couldn’t find any other intelligence on them.
It seemed the cases were too trivial for him to remember! Muttering this in his heart, he continued to listen in.
On the other end, the four unlucky people were escorted to an armored Hummer.
It was the bald and muscular FBI agent, named Hobbs, who had caught them. On the phone, he said that he would take them to the airport immediately to be escorted back to America.
Luke eased up on the gas pedal and tapped the wheel, deep in thought.
