361, the backyard is as immobile as a mountain!
Earl's smile was very meaningful.
Luke saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and after his thoughts turned to understand the meaning of Earl's smile, he also shook his head involuntarily.
By the time he got home, Rachel was still at home and hadn't been on TV.
Luke got out of the car and walked into the living room.
Rachel, who was sitting at the bar flipping through a magazine, looked up and said with a smile, "Back?" ”
Luke tossed the key to the side and nodded.
"Where's Lorna?"
"School."
Rachel closed the magazine in her hand, got up, walked towards Luke, put her arms around Luke's neck, and prompted: "Lorna waited for you to wait late last night, but you didn't come back, later, you explain to your sister yourself." ”
Luke looked at Rachel with a strange expression.
Seeing this, Rachel raised her eyebrows.
"Still going out?"
"Seoul."
Luke told the truth, looking at the time on his watch: "Waiting for Stryker's plane to come." ”
The smile on Rachel's face vanished.
"Something's wrong?"
"Yes."
Luke nodded again, followed Rachel to the bar, turned around and took out Bourbon, poured himself a glass, and then looked at Rachel who was sitting on the high stool, did not hide Rachel's thoughts, and said directly: "Lucy is missing." ”
He didn't come back yesterday, he just told Rachel that there was something temporary, but he didn't say anything specific.
After all, yesterday, Luke wasn't very sure.
But now it's for sure.
No word can be said to anyone.
Not to mention......
Lucy's disappearance, in the final analysis, is still aimed at him.
Luke briefly explained to Rachel that he had been busy all day yesterday and had gathered some approved information.
Lucy is missing.
Her kidnappers were the three hundred and twenty-five vanished hydras he found after he took over Whitehorse's estate.
Of course.
And then there was the daughter who disappeared with Lucy, whom he had never met.
Luke didn't hide it from Rachel either, and directly confessed it truthfully.
After listening to this, Rachel nodded: "The other party caught Lucy and Mengmeng, obviously, they forced you to go to Seoul." ”
Luke nodded and said yes.
The next second.
Luke raised an eyebrow and looked at Rachel: "You're not surprised. ”
Rachel looked at Ruke curiously.
"Surprised by what."
"I have a daughter."
"I'll be surprised if you don't tell me."
"What?"
"I'll give you a recording."
Rachel smiled, grabbed the phone next to her, rummaged through it, and said, "I got a very interesting call in the morning. ”
After speaking.
Rachel flipped through the call recordings she had saved, winked at Luke, and then, put it on the bar, and chose to play it.
"Hey, who's that?"
"Ms. Rachel Villelis?"
"I am, you are ......"
"I have an inside scoop about your fiancé, I don't know, you're not interested."
“…… What do you want? ”
"I don't want anything, I'm a kind-hearted person, I can't see hypocrites, your fiancé has never been what he shows in front of the media."
The voice of Rachel's phone call was obviously disguised.
"Let's take a gamble, Ms. Villelis."
"What do you want to bet on?"
"Your fiancé, soon, will definitely go to Seoul."
"Seoul? Why? ”
"He may tell you that he went to Seoul for something, but the real reason, he will definitely not tell you, but I can."
"What?"
"The reason he came to Seoul was because of his daughter."
"What?"
"He's out on your back, and there's another daughter for him, Lady Villellis."
“…… You have a certificate...... Hey, hey? ”
This concludes the call.
Rachel looked at Luke with a smile after the call was finished, "That's why I'm not surprised." ”
Because of the surprise she should have, she was already surprised by this phone call this morning, while she was still sleeping.
But......
The guy who called Rachel didn't know a thing.
Nowadays, Luke's "bravery", "fearlessness", "courage", "selflessness" and a series of positive performances in front of the public and even in front of various media are perfectly and carefully packaged.
And the person who packaged him was none other than his fiancée.
Ms. Rachel Villelis, host of Columbia Media's primetime evening news.
Even after Luke became the director of the FBI in Los Santos, there were several public speeches to the outside world, and the speeches used were all determined by Rachel before Ruke used.
In terms of external image management, Rachel is in control of everything.
Moreover, this person obviously does not understand how Luke and Rachel get along.
Luke and Rachel's approach to getting along is simple.
There are no secrets.
Every time Luke went out to jungle, or returned from a jungler, he reported to Rachel.
And Rachel has punished Luke too.
That is, if you go out to jungle once, you will have to compensate Rachel twice or even triple when you go home.
Luke grabbed his phone at the bar and looked for the number.
Rachel, who was sitting opposite, said: "Don't look at it, I asked my assistant to check the one-time mobile phone number, and this time, the person on the other side is not good." ”
not only kidnapped Lucy and Luke's girlfriend, but even found her specifically to tell her that Luke had a daughter outside.
Obviously.
"The other party is going to set fire to it inside and out."
"yes."
Luke put down his phone and looked at Rachel thoughtfully: "This is the rhythm of the backyard fire after it was clear that I was going to 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 asked you to go to Seoul, and they deliberately broke you apart." ”
Again, that's the same sentence.
She was a smart woman, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to hold Luke by her side all the time.
Rachel first received the phone call and was a little surprised to hear that Luke had a daughter in Seoul suddenly.
But after the other party revealed that the daughter's mother was Lucy, he was not so surprised.
Because she knew that Lucy was Luke's ex-girlfriend, she was also on Luke's registration list.
Not to mention that Lucy has a daughter, she won't be surprised, even if Seifer has a son, Rachel won't be surprised.
Because Seifer had also reported in advance to Luke.
So......
Rachel understood in a blink of an eye what the purpose of the call was.
"If it's Whitehorse's dead hand, then it's understandable that the other party is calling this phone, they want to sow discord between me and you, and then, after you leave here, try to provoke me and ruin your reputation."
"Hmm."
Luke nodded in agreement, and then looked at Rachel with relief: "But they wouldn't have thought that our relationship is unbreakable." ”
Rachel gave Luke a roll of the eye.
Luke replied with a kiss.
Rachel rolled her eyes and pulled away from the topic.
"So what are you going to do and go to Seoul?"
"Go."
Lu Ke smiled: "The other party has made such a big effort, doesn't he just want to make sure that I will definitely go to Seoul, since that's the case, then go, don't let down the hard work of others, isn't it." ”
Rachel frowned.
"...... in that house"
"The remnants of the hydra in Los Angeles, I have already caught them all yesterday."
"But there are more than 300 Hydras that have disappeared."
"I know."
Lu Ke nodded, and his thoughts swirled quickly: "The other party broke me away and secretly contacted you, obviously, they think that you are my fiancée, and there must be enough black material in your hands to drive me off the stage." ”
Rachel shrugged her shoulders 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: "Honey, you say, do I want to cooperate with them?" ”
Luke laughed, "Then dear, are you going to work with them?" ”
Rachel shook her head decisively: "No!" ”
Again, that's the same sentence.
She's a smart woman.
If Luke hides something from her, Rachel will be angry, because the last thing Rachel can tolerate in a relationship is cheating.
But Luke didn't hide anything from her all along.
So......
She is crazy to help outsiders and deal with her fiancé.
"But just in case."
Rachel thought for a moment and said to Luke, "If the other party sees that I don't take the bait, they will definitely tell the others about it." ”
The Federation is a very open society.
But that's relative.
At the very least, in the real mainstream society of the Federation, illegitimate children have always been a sensitive topic.
What's more, Luke is still a yellow person who occupies a high position in mainstream society, but his skin color is different from others.
Rachel said in a deep voice: "You have an illegitimate child, once it is exposed, if it is not dealt with properly, it will indeed affect your reputation." ”
She would not allow anyone or anything to tarnish Ruke's reputation.
As Rachel said before, even in the future, if the son she gave birth to does something that damages Luke's reputation, she doesn't need Luke to do anything, Rachel will let her son return to the furnace to rebuild.
"But this time the opponent made the wrong move." Rachel's thoughts swirled as she turned to Luke, "If we weren't prepared, this matter would indeed cause us trouble, but we already know it, and we know what we want to do." ”
said.
Rachel looked at Luke with a smile and said affirmatively, "You go, there is me at home, they can't make big waves." ”
Luke nodded, put down the bourbon in the cup, walked out of the bar, and hugged Rachel under Rachel's gaze: "No hurry, there is still an hour and a half." ”
Rachel raised an eyebrow.
"Is that enough, don't keep Lieutenant Colonel Stryker waiting."
"It's okay, let him wait a while, but my fiancée can't wait."
"I ...... Yes! ”
