However, Luke just thought about it, he had already snatched that guy's bulletproof vest, and if he snatched the walkie-talkie too, he guessed that the guy would really blow his top.
Moreover, Luke hadn't expected the Las Vegas police to be so incompetent, taking so long with no signs of action.
This was sothing he hadn't anticipated beforehand.
He had thought that after he subdued the gunman, the Las Vegas police would arrive at the scene right after him.
But the reality was quite the opposite, he hadn't seen a shadow of the Las Vegas police until now.
Little Black asked with concern, "So what do you plan to do now?"
Luke responded with a question of his own, "Are you still in contact with that female reporter?"
"Uh, how should I put it… I guess not anymore."
"I'll give you another chance, think carefully and answer, do you or do you not?"
"Alright, she has been clinging on to recently, probably attracted by my charm. Girls like her are a bit petty; if you are nice to them, they might not care, but if they suffer a little because of you, they might actually get interested.
Of course, I can't rule out so elent of personal gain."
"You've rambled on to say that you two are still in contact."
Little Black, feeling sowhat guilty, said, "Don't worry, I'm managing it, just playing around, I won't take it seriously."
"Back to your playboy nature again?"
"What do you expect to do then? Marry her? Heh heh."
Thinking of Little Black marrying the female reporter Pari Jones, Luke shook his head, "You better keep being a playboy."
Then, Luke put on a serious face, "Now, I need to discuss sothing serious with you, listen carefully.
If I haven't contacted you within three hours.
You should tell Pari Jones about this, but don't spill too much at once.
Just say it might be a Los Angeles police officer who bravely subdued the shooter.
If I still haven't contacted you by tomorrow morning.
You should tell her about my identity, got it?"
Little Black frowned, confused, "You alone subdued the gunman; you are a hero, why does it sound like there's danger?"
"You're right, my biggest danger now cos from the Las Vegas police.
Of course, they probably won't do anything, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
Such a serious shooting occurred in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas police have been too timid to act, it's been dozens of minutes and they couldn't subdue the gunman.
Instead, a Los Angeles police officer like ended up taking down the gunman, which is like slapping their faces.
You think they'll treat as a guest of honor, as a hero? No way."
Although Reid also knew about this, and the Los Angeles Police Departnt would help communicate for Luke, Luke didn't know how Los Angeles Police Departnt would handle it or to what extent.
Also, sotis Reid's status is a limitation, there are things he can't do.
So Luke decided to double his efforts, the power of the dia is profound, exposing this can greatly advance the situation.
Sotis, unconventional thods can have unexpected effects.
What Luke was doing wasn't breaking any rules; it was legal and reasonable. He was just chatting with his friend.
Little Black said, "I understand, my journalist friend will be more than happy to help."
Luke reminded him, "Don't foolishly tell her straightaway, try to get so benefits from her, and in case of necessity, contact her superiors, don't miss this chance for a side gig."
Little Black hesitated, "Is it okay to take their money?"
"If it was a case we're investigating, definitely not. But this situation is different. This is happening in Las Vegas, neither of us signed a confidentiality agreent."
Little Black chuckled, "I understand."
Luke instructed, "Just this once, don't get used to it."
Little Black nodded, "Don't worry, once is enough."
Luke laughed, joking, "You and Pari Jones are truly a perfect match, it'd be a pity not to marry."
Luke glanced at his phone, "I have a call coming in, we'll talk later."
"Okay, buddy, I'll wait for your news, take care of yourself."
Luke hung up the video call and saw the incoming call was from his dad, Li Zhaofeng.
Luke pressed the answer button, "Hello, dad."
"Luke, I heard about the terrorist attack in Las Vegas, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, how did you know I was in Las Vegas?"
"Your mom told ."
"You two are still in contact?" Luke was sowhat surprised.
"Even though we are divorced, we are still friends and we have two kids together. I've always been keeping track of your growth, and she communicates with imdiately if sothing happens.
You are doing okay, but Fatty hasn't reached adulthood yet and is about to start his rebellious phase.
You at his age... were really a handful."
Luke chuckled, "I thought you guys were planning to remarry?"
"No, actually, I heard from your mom that you've got a lawyer girlfriend."
"Sort of, are you suggesting marriage, or do you have other good advice?"
"I haven't been successful in marriage, so what good advice could I possibly offer.
However, as a father, I still want to share an observation, not really an advice.
From my years of experience, be cautious about marriage, especially since she's a lawyer, be even more cautious.
I know this isn't sothing a father should say.
According to our Chinese tradition, I should be encouraging you.
But… this isn't China, this is Arica."
