Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 268: Luo An: Los Angeles, Here I Come!

Even though Luo An could begin to sense others’ attitudes towards him, he had no intention of fully relying on this ability.

Because the thoughts of people are simply too complex.

Some may genuinely treat you well, intending only the best for you in their minds, but their actual actions might be seriously harming you, and such emotional perceptions in the mind cannot accurately distinguish this.

Therefore, regarding his newly acquired ability, Luo An only planned to use it as a tool to assist himself, not as a dependency.

A month might sound like a long time, but when Luo An and the other three returned from Los Angeles, it was already around the tenth of the month.

After returning, they encountered the [Serial Beheading Case]and two murder cases at the junkyard, so in less than a week, the agents of the Fifth Investigation Team hadn’t yet dealt with the aftermath of the [Federation Youth Hobbies Association]case, thus it was time for Luo An, Reesi, and Mona to head to Los Angeles.

Neither Luo An nor Mona had any plans of renting out their apartments, so during these days, they found a company that specializes in handling such situations to take care of it for the next year.

Because of both their FBI identities, the company even upgraded Luo An and Mona to VIP customers for free.

The Chevrolet was left by Luo An in his New York garage, as driving from New York to Los Angeles was impractical and too time-consuming.

The shipping price was also too expensive, costing thousands of dollars... So Luo An planned to spend one hundred thousand dollars on a new car after arriving in Los Angeles.

Mona: "..."

At the airport, Luo An, Mona, and Reesi were bidding farewell to Augustus, Leyde, and other agents of the Fifth Investigation Team.

"Thank you for your care during this period, Chief."

Luo An hugged Augustus and then turned to hug Leyde robustly, patting his back hard:

"And thank you, Leyde, for your help during this time."

"It should be us thanking you."

Luo An’s vigorous patting made Leyde feel as if his blood was almost patted out, he quickly pushed Luo An away from his embrace, laughing:

"Remember to call us when you get to Los Angeles. Yvonne and I will also go there for vacation during the holidays!"

"Don’t worry, I’ll treat you to a barbecue then."

Luo An laughed heartily and turned to continue chatting with Augustus.

Reesi and Mona were chatting with William and others nearby. Soon it was boarding time, and without further ado, after another round of embraces and waves, Luo An and the two others turned and walked towards the depths of the airport.

Augustus watched as Luo An gradually disappeared, feeling quite sentimental. Initially, he thought that Luo An would be the one to eventually take over his position as the leader of the Fifth Investigation Team.

But now, Luo An had become the deputy leader of one of the ten "Special Investigation Teams," and by the time they meet again in the future, Luo An would probably be at the same level as himself.

"Youth is indeed wonderful."

Augustus patted his belly, murmured softly, then turned to look at Leyde, William, and other agents, shouting loudly:

"Get back to the Fifth Investigation Team! The aftermath of this case with the Association hasn’t been dealt with yet, the bonuses won’t be issued until it’s finished!"

The agents of the Fifth Investigation Team: "..."

Thinking that after today, their monthly salaries would most likely return to the initial levels, the agents’ faces immediately turned sour.

In the distant Jacob Federation Building, Vireness sat in her office, glanced at the time, and slightly smiled thinking of something, then continued to lower her head to process the documents on hand.

The plane quickly ascended into the sky, Mona and Reesi sat together, whispering about something while holding a magazine, Luo An sipped his coffee, gazing out of the window at the scenery, the corner of his mouth slightly lifted:

Los Angeles, here I come!

————

Unexpectedly without any airborne hijacking incidents, Luo An and the two safely arrived in Los Angeles.

Just after stepping out of the airport, Luo An saw several white men in suits gathered together talking in the parking lot.

Among them, a serious-faced, middle-aged white man with a crew cut and short beard, standing upright in the middle, saw Luo An and the others, he immediately raised his hand, shouting loudly:

"This way!"

Seeing the middle-aged Caucasian face, Luo An slightly narrowed his eyes; the newcomer was none other than Potante Byrne, Luo An Greenwood’s instructor at the FBI Academy and the team leader of the Criminal Investigation Division at the FBI Los Angeles Branch.

Giving Mona and Reesi a look, Luo An quickly approached, smiling and extending his hand to shake with Potante Byrne:

"Hello, teacher, I look forward to learning from you in the future."

While speaking, Luo An’s thoughts flickered slightly as he opened his mind’s emotional receptors, and then he felt a sensation that was neither warm nor cold.

Luo An’s expression remained unchanged; after all, it had been a long time since they last met, and there were no interests linking them, so this lukewarm attitude was quite normal.

If the other side made him feel very warm, Luo An would have to take extra caution.

"Hmm."

Potante Byrne extended his hand and gave Luo An a shake, then patted his arm, not saying much else. He simply pointed to the car beside them: frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Luo An, come with me in one car, the rest can take another."

"Yes, sir."

As the dark SUV left the airport parking lot and merged with the traffic, Potante Byrne, sitting in the back seat with Luo An, took a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to Luo An. Luo An took it with a smile but didn’t smoke:

"Thank you, sir."

Potante Byrne didn’t mind, lit the cigarette, opened the window, and after a few seconds of silence, he turned his head and said:

"To be honest, Luo An, many people here don’t like you."

Luo An’s expression didn’t change as he chuckled:

"I am not a US Dollar, I definitely can’t make everyone like me."

This "Special Investigation Team" position was originally for the Los Angeles Branch, but it was snatched by a guy from New York, Luo An could guess that many people in the Los Angeles Branch were displeased with him.

But so what?

Within the rules, Luo An was confident in keeping those people in line.

And outside the rules… Luo An expressed that he had never forgotten his assassin skills.

Hearing Luo An’s words and seeing his confident expression, Potante Byrne took a drag of his cigarette, his expression unchanged, but he felt a bit more satisfied with Luo An inside.

Previously, Potante Byrne had seen Luo An’s performance in internal documents, but with many years of walking on the edge of death, he doubted everything and didn’t have much impression of this Luo An Greenwood, so he came especially to observe Luo An this time.

So far, Luo An gave him a pretty good impression.

Luo An’s expression remained the same, while his mind’s emotional receptors made him realize that the other’s attitude towards him had warmed up slightly.

"Here are the keys to the office exclusively for your Special Investigation Team, the vehicle keys, and case funds."

The car soon arrived at the hotel temporarily rented by the FBI Los Angeles Branch for the three of them. After getting out, Potante Byrne handed Luo An a folder and said expressionlessly:

"You have three days to rest, and then you must appear in that office."

After that, Potante Byrne immediately led the convoy out of the hotel.

"What a cold guy."

Reesi pouted and turned to pull her luggage into the hotel:

"Luo An, I can freely move around for these three days, right?"

"Just don’t be late after three days."

"OK!"

After settling into the hotel room, Reesi vanished, while Luo An planned to buy a car with Mona first, then go have dinner; they intended to fully enjoy these three days.

But soon, Angel City Los Angeles gave them a big surprise.
