Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 230 – Same Old Trick

Chapter 230 Same Old Trick

A moment later, Jenny continued, “They put me in their car and said that they wouldn’t let me go until I gave them a huge sum of money.”

As she talked, she suddenly turned around and cried hard in Luke’s arms. “They… they said that they would rape me and record it. They said I had to listen to them in the future, or they would sell the recording to USC.”

Both Luke and Selina were struck with realization.

They should’ve seen this coming.

It was a shameless but effective trick, particularly on a young and wealthy woman who was still in college.

Even though Jenny was the victim, she would still be under a tremendous amount of pressure later.

Not everybody would sympathize with her. Many people would gloat and even maliciously spread what happened to her.

No wonder Jenny was so wrung out.

She had just been pulled back from the brink of ruin; chances were that videos of her would have been forever preserved on the hard drives of some shut-in nerds even after she was dead.

That explained why the WD-36 gangsters had had the guts to kidnap her.

Blackmail and threats were cliche, but they worked almost all the time, which was why criminals loved using them.

While Luke was talking to Jenny in the car, the police officers had captured most of the WD-36 gangsters and invaded their nest.

Several armed gangsters were hiding in the house, so the officers were within their rights to break in and arrest them.

A lot of things were discovered in the house.

Luke was too far away to identify the drugs and guns, but he clearly saw five girls in makeshift coats being led out of the house.

Their bare legs suggested that they were probably wearing nothing under the coats either.

Their expressions were sluggish and dazed; it was obvious that they had been drugged.

If Miss Jenny had been pushed inside just now, she would probably have ended up in exactly the same way.

Thinking that, Miss Jenny calmed down. She was tired of crying.

Luke told Selina to take care of the rest.

Mostly, they needed to let the director of the local police department know what had started the gunfight and about the injuries sustained by the dozen unlucky gangsters whom Luke had taken down.

Hearing that the two detectives had cleaned up a dozen gangsters, the director was suspicious, but didn’t say anything.

There would definitely be an investigation later, as this was a major case in which more than thirty gangsters publicly and violently refused arrest.

The illegal items and the six girls in the bungalow were a shock as well. The case would definitely be thoroughly investigated.

Selina talked to the director for almost an hour and completed all the necessary paperwork, before she finally returned to the car.

Seeing the two people in the backseat, she said angrily, “Hey, Miss Gwenis, don’t you think it’s time you let go of my partner? He’s still a boy!”

Jenny felt a lot better. It was too noisy outside for her to sleep, but she didn’t want to leave Luke’s arms.

After hugging Luke for such a long time, she would be a fool not to have felt his muscles. She even casually measured those muscles with her hands.

Besides, Luke was clean and didn’t have the typical smell of an unwashed man; there was only a vague, pleasant shampoo fragrance.

Well, it was probably just Jenny’s illusion.

But of course, she preferred to be comforted in the arms of a sunny, handsome man than to be held captive by four gangsters who stank.

Luke gestured at Selina, who could only roll her eyes as she started the car.

They took Jenny back to her villa in Beverly Hills and handed her over to the security guards.

She left the car, but after taking a few steps, she hopped back to Luke and kissed him deeply. “Thank you, Luke.”

Luke smiled. “You’re too kind. I’m a police detective.”

Jenny reluctantly let go and entered her house, turning back to look at him a couple of times.

A moment later, Luke and Selina returned to the car. This time, Luke drove.

Selina snorted. “What do you have to say about this rich young lady?”

Luke said, “Well, she certainly smelled great.”

Selina said, “Ha? You’re truly shameless. Just wipe your face already.”

She threw a tissue at him angrily. “Why didn’t you dodge when she kissed you?”

Luke said, “Would you believe me if I said that it’s for work?”

Selina said, “Fine. If we need to work with a middle-aged lady next time, you can offer to kiss her.”

Luke said, “Fine. I’ll admit it.”

Selina asked, “Admit what?”

Luke said, “I have to admit that I’m a superficial man who can’t kiss an ugly person. I can’t sacrifice myself, even if it’s for work.”

Selina was lost for words. “Let’s go get lunch. It’s on you this time.”

Luke: As if you’ve ever paid for lunch…

They went to a three-star Michelin restaurant. Luke had plenty of legitimate money now, so he could afford to be more extravagant.

Halfway through the expensive lunch, Elsa called him. “Where are you? Why haven’t you returned yet?”

Luke said, “We’re having lunch. We worked really hard in the morning. We’re starving.”

Elsa said, “Come back as soon as you’re done. What you did was quite big.”

Luke said, “Alright. Do you want me to pack some of the food for you, boss?”

Elsa said, “You know what to do,” before she hung up.

Luke chuckled. He certainly knew what to do.

After the phone call, they couldn’t take the time to enjoy lunch anymore. They finished the exquisite food as quickly as possible and packed up the food that they’d ordered earlier, then paid the bill and left.

In the car, Selina complained, “We should go to a different place next time. The food here is expensive and the portions are small.”

Luke asked, “It doesn’t taste good?”

Selina hesitated for a moment. “It’s delicious, but don’t you want to feel full after lunch? Also, something that’s tasty and greasy would be great; I’m still hungry after our meal.”

Luke got it. “I’ll take you to have siu mei next time.”

Selina asked, “What’s siu mei?”

Luke said, “It’s fried, roasted and grilled meat that I guarantee is oily and greasy.”
